*	You can choose to explore the Valley of Ecstasy since this is a large section with many optional areas, bosses, and quests. Make sure to activate any Shrine you come across so that you have locations to teleport to.

Melon Field Guide

	Objectives
1	From the Forest of Felicity Shrine, turn around and take the path to the left that goes down. Keep going down until you reach the river at the bottom.

This is an optional area that's part of the Treasure Hunter Quest. Unless you've encountered and talked to the Treasure Hunter at all of the locations he appears in, you won't be able to do anything when you get here.

Brook of Bliss Guide

	Objectives
1	To get to this area, turn around from the Forest of Felicity Shrine and head down to the path on the left.
2	Once you're down, take any of the bridges to the right side of the area so you can access the Brook of Bliss Shrine.

This is an optional area that's not necessary to complete the main story. However, there are items, collectables, and the Non-Able boss around this area, so it is still worth visiting.

Towers of Karma Guide

	Objectives
1	To get to this area, you'll want to head through the archway in front of the Forest of Felicity Shrine, and then head left.

Temple Entrance Guide

	Objectives
*	Before proceeding onwards straight to the end of the temple, you can explore the different side areas. There are a bunch of optional objectives around here, like treasure chests and bosses. If you don't want to miss anything, we recommended exploring first since there are some objectives here, specifically the ones for the Horse Guai Quest and the Fox Quest, that become missable.

2	Once you're up the stairs, continue straight through the nearby building. Continue going straight on forward until you reach the large open area with a big set of stairs and two massive Dark-faced Overlords.
3	Once you've either defeated or ran past them, climb up the stairs and activate the Mahavira Hall shrine.

Mahavira Hall Guide

	Objectives
*	Prepare yourself since this is the final Shrine before you head to the final boss of this chapter. If you want to explore the rest of Chapter 3 and check that you didn't forget any missables, now is the time to do so. It's recommended to at least do the Treasure Hunter Quest since it will reward you with a spell that will greatly help with the final boss.
1	When you're ready, head through the doors to face the final boss of this chapter, Yellowbrow. ▶ Yellowbrow Boss Guide
2	After beating his first phase, you will be sucked into his pouch where you'll fight a power-up version of the Macaque Chief. Thankfully, you'll be fully recovered so the only thing you'll need to worry about are your cooldowns. ▶ How to Beat Macaque Chief
3	Once the Macaque Chief goes down for the final time, you'll be teleported to the Floating Sculpture that was behind Yellowbrow during the cutscene before his first phase.
4	Follow the path until you reach the second and final Yellowbrow fight. Once he goes down, you'll have beaten Chapter 3! You can opt to die first to change your equipment and spells if you wish, especially if you don't have the spell from the Treasure Hunter Quest equipped.

Floating Scuplture Guide

The Floating Sculpture Upper and Lower Level travel locations aren't Shrines but are teleport points that act as a failsafe in case you die during the Yellowbrow boss gauntlet.

This allows you to teleport back to those checkpoints in case you leave using the Incense Trail Talisman to change your equipment and spells at a Shrine.
