Part 2: Mountain Trail

In this Sea of Stars walkthrough, we'll take you through this part of the game in its entirety.

Once you've explored the Forbidden Cavern, you'll have the option of heading to the Mountain Trail, which is where you started at the beginning of the game.

You'll find Garl joining your team. He will then ask you to collect berries from the bushes near you, so that he can teach you how to cook dishes that will be very useful in battle. Then get some sleep and move on to the next day.

The next day, go straight ahead and enter the cave. Attack the Luslugs and climb the platforms to get to the chest on the left. To get there, simply climb onto the platform on the left and then jump onto the platform on the right to reach the platform where the chest is located (see image below). Open the chest to receive an Abacus.

Exit the cave and climb the wall on the right. Once at the top, you can open a hidden chest on the left by crossing between the trees. Open the chest to receive basic armor. To the right is a ladder which you can unroll to collect ingredients for cooking. Then climb back up and attack the enemies that appear in front of you.

Then cross the bridge, climb down and collect resources along the way. Continue along the path until you come to a group of Wanderers, attacking them all to progress. Climb the wall on the left to reach the cave on the top left.

Save your game, rest / cook around the campfire and buy items from the nearby merchant as needed. When you're ready, climb the wall on the right to exit to the right.

Continue on your way, attacking enemies along the way and opening the hidden chest near the waterfall (see image below) to receive a recipe: Chaudree. Continue climbing and attacking enemies along the way. Don't forget to collect resources along the way. Continue upwards to meet the Elder Mist.
