[edit] Getting there

This explorable area is completely optional, as the previous storyline mission, the Eternal Grove, takes players to Vasburg Armory, completely bypassing this section of the Echovald Forest.

The fastest way to get here is to first head to Durheim Archives (southeast of Vasburg Armory) and then exiting southwest, possibly while heading towards Amatz Basin in the southwestern corner of this area.

• Durheim Archives (northeast)
