Look for Iotham

Where to find Iotham

Upon going north of the river, head inside a cave to look for Iotham. Go into the depths of the cave until some Fatui soldiers ambush you. Simply defeat the Fatui and head forward.

Big area underneath the cave

After exploring the tunnel, you will arrive at a large underground area. Use the Four-Leaf Sigils to instantly transport you to farther locations. Afterwards, drop down to the ground to the Withering Zone.

Try to clean up the Withering Zone

As always, obtain a Dendrograna on the southwest of the objective marker, then hit the three Withering Branches with Charged Attacks or Aimed Shots to clear it out. Afterwards, destroy the Tumor of the Withering to complete this task.

Return to Vimara Village

Use the Four-Leaf Sigils to transport you up the area, which prompts a cutscene between Rana and Iotham. Escort Iotham back to Vimara Village by teleporting to the nearest waypoint, then go to the area where Alphonso is.

Follow the strange traces

Strange green traces

Rana's location outside the cave

Once you go inside the caveo where Rana was, follow the strange traces that resemble green lines. Walk the path to where it continues until you go outside of the cave. You'll find Rana inside a big pineapple-like hut on the other side of the river.

This completes Aranyaka: Part I of the quest chain and leads to Dream Nursery!

Who were the First Missing Children in Vimara Village?

The first missing children are Subadeh and Kavus. These are the answers to say to Alphonso when confronting him after completing the final Aranyaka quest.

This is a required task to do if you want to have a checkmark on your Forest Adventure Journal under Woodland Encounters!
