Revision 4

Overview

Arboria Forest is a location in the Hernand region of Pywel. Described as the forest surrounding Arboria Castle, it has been long neglected and is now a forgotten woodland. The area lies southwest of the Hills of No Return and connects to the abandoned village of Arboria.

Lore

According to local legend, a dark sorcerer grew envious of the beauty of the castle lord's daughter and placed a terrible curse on her, transforming her into a giant spider. The resulting creature is said to have taken the lives of her family and everyone else around her, leaving the forest abandoned and feared by the people of Hernand.

Points of Interest

The forest contains the Arboria Forest Ruins, an ancient ruin site featuring a broken fountain puzzle. Solving this puzzle summons an Abyss Cresset, making the forest an important destination for artifact hunters. The Arboria Craftshop can also be found in the vicinity.

How to Reach

Arboria Forest is accessible by traveling southwest from the Hills of No Return. The forest connects to Arboria Castle and the wider Arboria area. Players exploring the region should watch for the ancient ruins marked on the map.

Tips

• Bring a stabbing weapon to interact with the fountain puzzle in the ruins.

• The forest is part of the Exploration Challenges system; completing the puzzle yields an Abyss Artifact.

• Despite the spider legend, the forest itself is navigable and offers gatherable resources.
