Head to the designated location to look for clues about Ashvattha's Concourses
Teleport to Gandha Hill, which is right above the Spire of Solitary Confinement domain. Make your way north and talk to Arama and Arayasa.
Observe the Sumeru Roses to find the hidden song
Investigate the Symbols
Press the button to investigate the symbols on the mound beside Arama and Arayasa. This pattern will be your key to the next puzzle.
Rotate yourself to the right side

All Observe the Sumeru Roses Puzzles
Play the music according to the pattern of roses
Use your Vintage Lyre gadget, and press the mi-re-mi-re-la buttons on the top row to play the Rhythm of the Gloomy Path. The buttons highlight for you as well, so you can simply follow the button sequence this way.
Unlock the road ahead using the Rhythm of the Gloomy Path
Head north of Gandha Hill to a pond south of the Electro Regisvine location. Play the Rhythm of the Gloomy Path with the gadget once you're there.
Afterwards, enter the Phantasmal Gate to transport yourself to the Gloomy Path dimension.
Clean up the Withering Zone
Where to Get the Dendrograna in the Withering Zone
Unlike previous Withering Zones, the initial area of Gloomy Path does not contain a Dendrograna branch. Instead, you'll have to play the Rhythm of the Gloomy Path to an inactivated Phantasmal Gate to open a portal to the Dendrograna!
| Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Head inside the Portal after playing the Rhythm of the Gloomy Path on a hollow object found in the far back of the area or close to the entrance. |
| 2 |  Once you're transported, use the Four-Leaf Sigils to get to the down arrow symbol. |
| 3 |  Defeat the Fungi enemies under the down arrow symbol. |
| 4 |  You can now access the Dendrograna! |
Return to Portal and Hit all Branches
With a Dendrograna in hand, attack all Withering Branches with a Charged Attack or Aimed Shots. We recommend using Bow users as the Dendrograna will disappear shortly, so there's little time to get to the farthest branch.
Defeat Marona's Disciple
Defeat the large Fungi that will appear beside the Tumor of the Withering. Afterwards, destroy the Tumor of the Withering to complete this section of the quest!
Explore the Dream of the Vasara Tree
After being transported to a domain, collect three Primeval Rosins to explore the Dream of the Vasara Tree. It's recommended to have a Bow character for one of the puzzles!
| How to Explore the Dream of the Vasara Tree | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Defeat all Fungi on the big pad to unlock the first Primeval Rosins. |
| 2 |  Play the Rhythm of the Gloomy Path on the Phantasmal Gate to open up a portal. Head inside to get to a higher floor. |
| 3 |  Shoot the three flying rings with a Dendrograna obtained in a room behind the second Primeval Rosin to unlock it. A Bow is recommend to do this! |
| 4 |  Head inside the room before the second Primeval Rosin location to find a glimpse of the Tree of Dreams. |
| 5 |  Go right of the area and open up the second portal with the Rhythm of the Gloomy Path. |
| 6 |  Head inside the portal and touch the blue flower to create a bridge. |
| 7 |  Break the branch wall covering the room with any attacks to get the third Primeval Rosin. |
| 8 |  Touch the second blue flower, then pull yourself to the top with the Four-Leaf Sigil. |
| 9 |  Open the door in the top floor with the three Primeval Rosins in hand. |
| 10 |  Defeat all Cast Nightmare enemies in the room to complete the domain! |
