The Forbidden Grove

The Forbidden Grove is the primary world area for a Yaesha Corrupted Ravager roll. It is therefore the location for the world's Biome Portal. You'll also find the Yaesha Simulacrum drop in this area.

The following Injectables may serve as hub locations for The Forbidden Grove:

• Koara Kuri Nest

The primary feature of The Forbidden Grove is The Lost Temple, a complex of buildings at the entrance to the Ravager's Lair and the site of the area's central World Stone. Of interest here are the Power Building, the Lily Pond, and the Water Harp. Playing the appropriate song on the Water Harp grants access to the Ravager's Lair.

Power Building

Just beside the Water Harp is the Power Building, which houses The Lost Temple World Stone on the ground floor and the mechanism that drives the massive musical instrument.

When you first reach The Lost Temple, you'll only be able to access the ground floor, where you'll find the World Stone and the ladder that grants access to the Lily Pond. The Water Harp drive mechanism and Simulacrum are at (or near) the top floor.

You won't be able to access the top floor until you've explored the world area that connects to the back of The Lost Temple area. Find the entrance to this area above and behind the Power Building. To get there, walk outside and walk up the stairs behind the Water Harp. Follow the stairs all the way to the top and follow the path to the dungeon entrance.

Lily Pond

Just outside the building that houses The Lost Temple World Stone is a ladder that leads down to a large lily pond. This beautiful feature is now home to both danger and reward.

Once you climb down the ladder, hop down into the water and go to the right. The path leads you under the Water Harp and around its foundations. At the end of this path is a waterfall that partially conceals a treasure chest and the Blood Jewel:

Once you've grabbed the loot, walk back to the base of the ladder and continue straight into a partially submerged temple building:

There are multiple enemies here, so be ready to fight in the deep water. Your movement will be slowed, but most of the enemies are Root Zombies and shouldn't be too much trouble. When you've cleared the area, continue to the stairs that lead up at the far end of the building. There is a treasure chest at the foot of these stairs, so loot it. Head back to the bottom of the ladder to continue exploring The Forbidden Grove.

Water Harp

Central to The Forbidden Grove is the Water Harp, a huge musical instrument powered by the neighboring waterfall. It is the key that opens the way to the Ravager's Lair and to obtaining the Bolt Driver Hand Gun and the Scroll of Binding Crafting Material.

Simulacrum

The Forbidden Grove is home to three possible Simulacrum locations. These are in the immediate vicinity of The Lost Temple World Stone next to the Water Harp.

You'll likely encounter the following enemies as you travel through The Forbidden Grove:
