Part 11: Cursed Woods

In this Sea of Stars walkthrough, we'll take you through the whole of Part 11: Cursed Woods.

Once in the woods, go straight ahead. You can avoid fighting enemies if you avoid coming into contact with them. Simply walk around them. Follow the signs to find out the direction of the manor. Don't forget to pick up resources along the way.

Keep going straight ahead. You'll come up against a bramble barrier, and you'll have to face the enemy on the left to clear the brambles. You'll need to defeat this type of enemy, called a Boulbe, each time to remove the brambles blocking your path through the cursed woods. We recommend that you always start by defeating the little woodland spirits, as they have the ability to heal enemies.

Once the enemies have been defeated, cross the path blocked by brambles. You'll face several types of enemy. It's possible to avoid them by crossing at the right moment (when they're looking the other way), so head for the small dirt path at the bottom. Climb up and fight the second Boulbe to destroy the brambles blocking your path.

Move on to the path, which is now clear. Remember to pick up resources along the way. Once again, you'll face more enemies. Head left to find a cellar. Attack the enemies and open the chest to receive a Rainbow Conch.

Exit the cellar and go straight ahead. You'll come across some tree trunks, so jump up and move on. Take the opportunity to save or cook dishes as required. Once you're ready, head for the next platform.

Once again, you'll need to defeat 2 more Boulbe, located to the right and left of the campfire/book, in order to destroy the brambles blocking the path. Once the Boulbe have been defeated, open the chests near them to receive Bone Armor and Obsidian Ore.

Then enter the cellar, which has now been cleared of brambles. You'll arrive at a mansion. A cinematic will appear in which you will see a shadow. Garl will be attacked and someone will suddenly appear to help. It's at this point that you'll meet Seraï, who will join your team.

To save Garl, you'll need a soul stone. Return to the inn and use Seraï's shortcut through the water, attacking enemies along the way. You'll find yourself back at the signpost. Leave the cursed woods to return to the inn.

Then head for the eastern exit of Lucent Town to reach the Ferryman's Vigil on the map. This is where you'll find the soul stone to save Garl.
