Overview
Florindale is a northern subsidiary village of Pororin, located in the Hernand region. The settlement specializes in the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, living in harmony with nature thanks to the abundant water resources of a nearby stream. Its residents are primarily farmers and Shai who supply produce to surrounding towns.
Florindale is a hidden village that cannot be accessed freely from the start of the game. Players who attempt to approach the Pororin Forest are intercepted by the Pororin Patrol, who sleep-dart intruders and drag them away from the area. Gaining entry requires completing a specific quest to earn the trust of the Shai inhabitants.
Location
Florindale lies in the northern part of the Hernand region, within the dense Pororin Forest. A freshwater stream runs alongside the village, providing irrigation for its farms. The village is surrounded by tall trees and natural barriers that shield it from outsiders.
How to Reach Florindale
Access to Florindale is gated behind the Unreachable Village quest. Here is how to gain entry:
Step 1: Get Sleep-Darted
Approach the Pororin Forest from the northern trails. The Pororin Patrol will shoot you with a sleep dart and drag you to the edge of their territory. This triggers the quest flag.
Step 2: Meet Arkin
After being darted a few times, a Shai girl named Arkin appears near the Outcast's Hearth camp, sitting on a tree stump with a group of Shai. Speak with her to begin the Unreachable Village quest. She explains that the village has lost a precious relic, the Pororin Relic, which is actually the village chief's hat.
Step 3: Retrieve the Pororin Relic
Follow the quest marker to locate a massive walking tree. Climb up the tree's body by grabbing onto its arms (which do not swing like its legs) or by standing on a nearby cliff and jumping onto the tree as it passes. Scale the tree all the way to the crown of its head and grab the Pororin Relic from the top.
Step 4: Deliver the Relic
Return the Pororin Relic to Arkin. This grants permanent access to Florindale and the broader Pororin Forest, and it establishes a formal alliance between the Greymanes and the Pororin Forest Guardian faction.
