Shadow Forest (Another World) Walkthrough

You are only required to go through the Shadow Forest if you chose Nikki as your Guide.

Objectives
1	・Enter the Forest If you tried to get into the Shadow Forest beforehand, you would know you can't with the guards in the way. With Miki's help, you keep them busy long enough to slip in, finding Nikki on the other side of a pond.
2	・Follow Nikki Nikki will dash off, so you'll need to follow quickly!
Boss 3	・Save Nikki! When you find Nikki, you'll see him surrounded by Cassowaries! Jump into the fight to save him. When the fight is over, he'll lead you under the waterfall.
4	・Grab the Aroma Pouch Go back behind the waterfall to open the chest and receive the Aroma Pouch. If you read the note as well, you'll receive the Angry Scapula.
5	・Clear the Path Using the Aroma Pouch, go towards a round plant in the area and interact with it. A small mote of pollen will follow you around. Use this to attract slime-like creatures of the same colour.
6	・Bring the Slime-like Creature to the Sleeping Monster Carefully making your way to the blocked section, lead the Slime-like creature to the sleeping monster blocking the path and it will be eaten. With its meal, the monster will move or fight you! We suggest using a Red Slime to feed the monster as it avoids combat!
Boss 7	・Fight Zoah, Solt, and Peppor Once you go past the area the monster was blocking, you will be attacked by Zoah, Solt, and Peppor.
8	・Plug the Hole After defeating the trio, continue on into a cave until you reach a section where bugs are continuously coming out of a hole. You can use the boulder nearby to plug it closed.
9	・Enter Viper Manor After closing the hole, head up north until you reach a space where you can climb the wall. You will now be in Viper Manor!

Tips and Strategies

How to Wake the Sleeping Monster

Use the Aroma Pouch

Using the Aroma Pouch on certain plants will give you different colored Pollen to attract different slime-like creatures. Gathering a Blue or Yellow creature for example means that you must fight the sleeping monster, the Quaffid. We recommend finding the red pollen so that you can also receive the Skullduggery Frame!

Collect Red Pollen

To collect red pollen, head towards the plants near the falls. Once you have the right pollen, head towards the slime near the entrance and carefully lure it towards the Quadffid.

Quadffid: Stats, Locations, Drop and Steal Items

Focus Fire on Zoah

Between the three enemies, Zoah would be the biggest threat. Make sure you're healed up and ready for this fight. Then focus on getting rid of Zoah who has more HP than Solt and Peppor combined!

Take note of the tutorial on Summoning Elements though! This will be useful later in the game!
