The Forest is a wooded area with assorted trees, shrubs, and worn paths, oftentimes met with scattered rays of canopy-trickling light and gossamer glows. Woodland creatures inhabit the area including small rodents that mingle near a merchant and follow Dart.

Story

On his mission to save Shana, Dart must first travel through the Forest to reach Hellena Prison. When travelling across a ravine via a fallen log, Dart encounters a horned wolf. He is able to scare it off with a wave of his arms, which triggers a flashback cutscene. Years ago, he and Shana were crossing the same log. They encountered a horned wolf and a young Dart protected Shana by shouting at the wolf. This strengthens Dart's resolve to rescue his childhood friend.

After the rescue, Dart, Lavitz, and Shana cannot pass through the Forest and return to Seles as the path is blocked by Sandora Soldiers. With no other choice, they must take another route.

Services

There is an item shop at the beginning of the forest. The merchant selling these items also offers to train Dart on the basics of Item Magic and Elements. There are no other services in this area.

Trivia

1. The scene where the party goes back to the Forest after Hellena Prison and finds the path is blocked is missable, as well as the other changes in that area. Later on in Disc 1, the path is no longer blocked and it's back to normal.
