11Overview22The Evernight Forest is the first zone players enter when stepping through the portal into the Moonlit Forest dungeon. It is dominated by giant purple mushrooms and glowing bioluminescent flora, creating a dark, otherworldly atmosphere that stands in stark contrast to the cheerful overworld of Starsand Island. The Moonlit Forest is the only hostile PvE zone in the entire game, and the Evernight Forest serves as the introductory area where players learn the combat and puzzle mechanics that recur throughout the dungeon.44The zone connects directly to the Gate of Life, a sub-area with a sealed Astral Gate that requires freeing three Gravestars from Gravecrystals. Together, the Evernight Forest and Gate of Life form the entry section of the Moonlit Forest before players progress to Dreamfall Garden.66How to Enter88Entering the Evernight Forest requires starting the Explorer profession questline. The steps are:1010The portal teleports you directly to the Evernight Forest camp. Stone Ammo for the Slingshot is crafted from 5 Stone, which yields 2 pellets. The recipe is purchased at the Explorer Club's cash register.1515Campsites1717The Evernight Forest and Gate of Life contain two campsites. Each campsite has a tent (sleep to restore HP), campfire (cooking), and sometimes a Workbench.1919CampLocationActivation CostEvernight Forest CampImmediately upon arriving via the portalFree (entry point)Gate of Life CampNorth of the Evernight Forest, past the repaired bridge5 Fluorite (repair Damaged Moonweaver)2121Damaged Moonweavers appear as dim, lifeless structures covered in twisting vines. After repair with Fluorite, they become operational fast-travel hubs that let you teleport between any other repaired camp or back home. There are 10 campsites total in the Moonlit Forest, each requiring 5 Fluorite to activate.2222Enemies2424Runebird2626The Runebird is the first real combat encounter in the Moonlit Forest. It is a large bird-like creature with a bright yellow stomach that serves as its weak point. It guards the path to the third Gravecrystal on a nearby cliff in the Gate of Life area.2828DetailInfoWeak PointYellow stomach (abdomen)AttacksSwooping dives, ground-slam shockwavesStrategyCircle-strafe to dodge attacks; jump over ground shockwaves; fire Slingshot at the yellow stomach between attacksDropsRunebird Fragment (quest item for Apprentice Explorer certification)3030Luminfrog3131A frog-type creature encountered at the transition from the Gate of Life to Dreamfall Garden, behind a crumbling stone door.

A sealed Astral Gate blocks the path deeper into the Moonlit Forest. The stone door has empty star sigils around a ring, and each sigil requires a freed Gravestar to fill it. Players must find and free 3 Gravestars from Gravecrystals scattered around the area.5858Gravecrystal Locations6060#LocationNotes1By the broken bridge northeast of the Evernight Forest campMust repair the bridge with 15 Stone so the freed Gravestar can cross2In the Gate of Life camp area, just up from the tent toward the locked doorMost accessible of the three3On small cliffs directly south of the Gate of Life camp, in the southern cornerGuarded by the Runebird; requires defeating it first6262Mine each Gravecrystal with your Pickaxe to free the Gravestar inside. Freed Gravestars automatically float toward the Astral Gate. Once all 3 fill the star sigils, the gate opens and a reward chest spawns in front of it. This mechanic repeats in later zones of the Moonlit Forest with different arrangements.6363Treasure Chests6565The Evernight Forest and Gate of Life area contain approximately 6 treasure chests:6767ChestLocation1Across from the first tent near the forest entrance2To the left of the portal entrance3Behind the large purple mushroom4Left of the large purple mushroom5Right side of the waterfall, next to the repaired bridge6Left side of the waterfall, next to the repaired bridge6969Hidden Secrets7070Progression to Dreamfall Garden7474After the Astral Gate opens, the path forward includes:7676Completing the Gate of Life tasks (freeing all 3 Gravestars) earns you the Intermediate Explorer rank when reported to Zephyria.8080Explorer Profession Connection8282RankTask in This ZoneApprentice ExplorerDefeat the Runebird; collect Runebird Fragment; return to ZephyriaIntermediate ExplorerFree all 3 Gravestars to open the Astral Gate; report to ZephyriaApprentice Trial (Bulletin Board)"Shiny Paint" quest: defeat a Luminfrog near Dreamfall Garden; collect Sparkling Pigment8484Tips8585
