Wonder Tile |
Darkness is found throughout the entire dungeon. The rooms and hallways tend to be very small and long respectively, which, combined with the amount of traps per each room and use of Grudge later on, make the dungeon feel quite hazardous.
There is a puzzle midpoint with several warps after the boss. After the warp maze is finished, there's a second, icebreaker-styled puzzle with rainbow-colored crystals surrounded by blue flooring; the player must follow a hidden path, without stepping onto the wrong tiles else they'll be taken back to the beginning. As the sign near the midpoint's entrance suggests, you must stay close to the crystals to find the path.
| The sign reads: The sign is covered by ash, but you can more or less make up what it says. Welcome to the Enchanted Forest trial. Your objective here is to reach the end by warping around~ Don't get lost! Once at the end, you'll have to get through the warping crystals. Tip: Stay close to them! Good luck, challenger~ |
Boss
After Floor 11, the player enters a Monster House battle against 6 Spinarak and 4 Ariados. Their dialogue mentions how they don't want the forest to be harmed again, hinting at the following Ashen Graveyard.
They know the following moves: Spinarak: Toxic, Fury Swipes, Psybeam, Infestation Ariados: Protect, Psychic, Poison Jab, Giga Drain
Dialogue:
- You feel a looming presence in the room...
- (!)
- ???: Kuhuhu... say, someone dares enter our territory...?
- ???: Kyehehe... so foolish... smells like food, I say...
- Something's approaching...
- ???: Say... you aren't getting away from us...
- ???: It's nothing personal, I say... we don't want our forest to be harmed again...
- It's getting closer!
- ???: Kuhuh... say... it's time to play...!
- ???: Yes, yes, I say... let's go...!
- It's a monster house!
Ash Forest Clearing
The end room of Ash Forest has a warp on the left that brings you back into the overworld, and several gravestones blocking the upper area. All the gravestones can be broken if the player presses 
while facing one. At the top, there's an entrance that leads to Ashen Graveyard.
