The Forest is a wooded area in Serdio with worn paths, assorted shrubs, and trees with sunlight trickling through its canopies. To the east lies Seles and to the north sits the Prairie. Woodland creatures inhabit the area including large beasts and small rodents.

Story

To save Shana, Dart must first traverse the Forest to reach Hellena Prison. After crossing a ravine via a fallen tree, Dart encounters a horned beast that he scares off with a wave of his arms. Recalling when he and Shana were children, they encountered a similar horned beast that Dart protected Shana from by getting between the two and shouting at the creature to "leave Shana alone." In the present day, Dart repeats those words to himself, strengthening his resolve to rescue his childhood friend.

Trivia

1. The scene involving the Sandora army encampment blocking the Forest can be missed if the player goes directly to the Prairie. Upon concluding the events in Bale and leaving for Hoax, the Forest is no longer blockaded allowing for travel back to Seles.
