Homeward Trail is one of the later zones in the Moonlit Forest dungeon in Starsand Island. It sits between Grain Haven / Darkwater Shore and Serenity's Rest in the dungeon progression sequence. The zone consists primarily of ancient ruins with wooden scaffolding, serving as the final transition area before reaching the Ruin Guard boss arena. While not as resource-dense as zones like Harvest Yard or Azure Bay, Homeward Trail contains late-game resources and connects the deeper forest areas to the endgame content.
Homeward Trail occupies the tenth position in the Moonlit Forest zone progression. The full zone order is as follows:
Zone Order | Zone Name | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
1 | Tutorial area, basic resources | |
2 | First gate mechanism | |
3 | Crystalith boss, waterfall treasure | |
4 | Post-boss camp | |
5 | Azure Bay | Keys, Glintortle boss |
6 | Bronze Gate | |
7 | Harvest Yard | Water Wheel puzzle, advanced ores |
8 | Grain Haven | Eldergrain, deep resources |
9 | Darkwater Shore | Fishing, rare materials |
10 | Homeward Trail | Ruins, transition to endgame |
11 | Serenity's Rest | Final camp, lower level resources |
12 | Ruin Guard boss arena |
Homeward Trail contains late-game resources found in the deeper sections of the Moonlit Forest:
Resource | Details |
|---|---|
Plainberries | Small leafy plants with red berries, found around the ruins and campsite areas. Easy to overlook due to their small size. |
Echo Beans | Found growing in the ruins section. Used in high-tier cooking recipes. |
Spirit Fruits | Found near the ruins. Rare ingredient for Expert-tier recipes (Mystic Egg, Spirit Salad). |
Standard late-game ores | Flamecore, Moonstone, Aurorite (also found in nearby zones) |
The zone is structured as a linear path through ancient ruins:
Enter from the Grain Haven / Darkwater Shore direction.
Pass through a large open space with wooden scaffolding and scattered resources.
Activate the Homeward Trail camp spot for a rest point.
Continue through the ruins, collecting resources along the way.
Look for a treasure chest near a tree trunk (shoot it with a Water Arrow to unlock the path).
Proceed through the exit door on the right to reach Serenity's Rest.
Homeward Trail contains a Runebird encounter near the transition to Serenity's Rest. This enemy can be avoided by running past if you prefer to conserve ammo. The zone is otherwise lighter on enemies compared to earlier combat-focused zones like Azure Bay or Harvest Yard.
Collect Plainberries and Echo Beans when you pass through. These are used in cooking recipes that provide strong buffs.
Activate the camp spot. It serves as a useful respawn and fast-travel point for return visits.
Save your ammo for the Ruin Guard fight ahead. The Runebird near Serenity's Rest can be safely avoided.
On return visits, Homeward Trail is a decent spot for farming Plainberries, which are rarer than most forageable items.
