11Serenity's Rest is one of the final zones in the Moonlit Forest, located between Homeward Trail and Moonlight Meadow. It is the last campsite before the Ruin Guard final boss fight. The zone contains some of the rarest ore deposits in the game, including Moonstone and Aurorite, and has a torch-lighting puzzle that must be solved to open the bridge to Moonlight Meadow.22How to Reach Serenity's Rest44Serenity's Rest is reached by progressing through Homeward Trail, a large zone of wooden scaffolding and ancient ruins that follows Grain Haven. Homeward Trail contains multiple aggressive Runebird enemies that patrol the walkways, though they can be avoided by sprinting past them. After navigating through the scaffolding and descending the staircases in Homeward Trail, the path opens into the calmer Serenity's Rest zone.66Campsite88The Serenity's Rest campsite is the last campsite before the Ruin Guard boss. It includes the standard tent, campfire, worktable, and Moonweaver crystal (5 Fluorite to repair). Repairing this Moonweaver is strongly recommended: if you die during the Ruin Guard fight in Moonlight Meadow, you will respawn here rather than at an earlier campsite.1111This camp is also the ideal place to prepare for the final boss. Use the worktable to craft any last-minute ammunition, and cook healing food at the campfire. Make sure you have everything you need before proceeding, since the Ruin Guard is the toughest fight in the Moonlit Forest.1313Resources1515Serenity's Rest and the surrounding wooden paths contain some of the rarest ores in the Moonlit Forest:1717ResourceTypeNotesMoonstoneOreRare late-game ore; needed for the Luna Deer summoning altar after the Ruin GuardAuroriteOreHigh-tier ore used in Expert-level crafting; Aurorite Ore is Aurelis's favorite giftFlamecoreOreContinues to appear in this deep zone1919Moonstone is particularly important to collect here. After defeating the Ruin Guard, players need 3 Moonstone (along with 3 Spirit Berries and 1 Prayer from Zephyria) to repair the altar and summon the Luna Deer mount. Gathering your Moonstone now saves a return trip after the boss.2020Runebird Encounter2222A Runebird is located north of the Serenity's Rest campsite, guarding a treasure chest. Unlike the Runebird at the Gate of Life (which was a significant challenge early in the game), this encounter is manageable for players who have advanced to this point in the Moonlit Forest. At this stage, you should have a Bow and stronger ammunition that makes the fight straightforward.2424The Runebird can be avoided entirely by sprinting past it if you do not want the treasure chest it guards. However, the chest reward is worth the short fight.2626Torch-Lighting Puzzle2828The path from Serenity's Rest to Moonlight Meadow is blocked by a bridge or pathway that must be activated through a puzzle. The puzzle involves six unlit torches on pillars in the nearby ruins:3030Locate the six unlit torches arranged around the ruins areaEquip your Bow with Fire ArrowsShoot each of the six floating lights above the torch pillars to ignite themOnce all six torches are lit, the bridge raises and the path to Moonlight Meadow opens3232Fire Arrows are required for this puzzle. Make sure you have at least 6 Fire Arrows in your inventory before attempting it. If you run short, you can craft more at the campsite worktable using the Ammo Maker (if you brought one) or by teleporting back to the surface.3434Treasure Chests3636Three treasure chests are documented in Serenity's Rest:3838ChestLocationChest #39On the wooden bridge west of the campsiteChest #40At the campsite itselfChest #48North of the campsite, near the Runebird encounter4040Chest #48 requires defeating or bypassing the Runebird to reach. The other two chests are accessible without combat.4141Zone Progression4343Serenity's Rest is the tenth zone in the Moonlit Forest's progression, near the end of the dungeon:4545Evernight ForestGate of LifeDreamfall GardenCrystalith HideoutAzure BayMural ValleyHarvest YardGrain HavenHomeward TrailSerenity's RestMoonlight Meadow (Ruin Guard boss)4747After solving the torch puzzle, the bridge to Moonlight Meadow opens. Moonlight Meadow is the final zone, containing the Ruin Guard boss arena and the altar where the Luna Deer mount is summoned.4949Preparing for the Ruin Guard5151Serenity's Rest is the last place to prepare before the final boss. Here is a checklist of what to bring:5353ItemRecommended AmountWhyBomb Arrows20-30Primary damage source against the Ruin Guard; aim for the head during vulnerability windowsStandard Arrows50+Backup ammunition for sustained damage between Bomb Arrow shotsHealing Food10-15 piecesGrilled Chicken Wings, Lamb Skewers, or other HP-restoring combat food from the Exploration ClubMoonstone3Needed to repair the altar after defeating the Ruin Guard; collect from this zoneSpirit Berries3Also needed for the altar; found in the deeper Moonlit Forest zonesFire Arrows6+Required for the torch puzzle; bring extras in case you miss5555The Ruin Guard has four attack patterns: ore throwing (exposes its head weak point), spinning approach (retreat immediately), flame beam (strafe sideways while firing), and green charge vines (longest vulnerability window, fire continuously). Bomb Arrows to the head can stun it, creating a massive damage window. See the Ruin Guard article for the full combat strategy.5656Tips5858Repair the Moonweaver crystal before doing anything else. This is the last campsite, and dying in Moonlight Meadow without it means respawning at Homeward Trail or earlier.Mine every Moonstone deposit you find. You need exactly 3 for the Luna Deer altar, and they are not common.The torch puzzle requires Fire Arrows, not regular arrows. Double-check your ammo inventory before attempting it.The Runebird north of camp is optional. If you are low on health or supplies, skip it and come back later via the Moonweaver teleport.Consider making a surface trip after repairing the campsite to restock on ammo materials and healing food before the Ruin Guard fight. The teleporter makes this fast.Collect Aurorite Ore if you see it. Beyond crafting uses, it is Aurelis's favorite gift, worth +15 Affection per gift.
