Quests: Once Upon a Forest

Once Upon a Forest is a quest made of several chapters (a questline) and after completing some chapters craftifacts, technologies and new crafting possibilities get unlocked. This quest also unlocks all forest dungeons (see Dungeon: forest). All chapters do not need to be completed in order, some do. The aim of this questline is to explore the forest levels.

## Gathering items when in forest

Collect as much items from the forest as possible as these items will be later important for researching and crafting. The player will therefore need to farm F1, F2, F3 and/or dungeon levels to do so. Also, some chapters will require these items for progressing through the questline.

Items can't be added to hero's inventory while in dungeon (forest). They need to be crafted outside.

Like a dungeon level, a forest level gets locked when the player exits, regardless of the outcome (completed or not). To unlock the next level, the previous level must first be completed. Only F1 is always open.

Each level has 2 jade gates and 2 bosses. Each gate/boss counts as 25% percent of completed forest level. Lots of loot can be found even when the level is "completed". Keep wandering before exiting.

## Chapter I: Jade Gate, Emerald Key

 This chapter becomes available upon interacting with the Mechanical adventurer (with yellow exclamation mark above) in 2B.

*I was created by a master to whom the local cult is dedicated. Now I am in search of relics hoping to complete his final invention.*
*The relics have been seized by the lords of ignorance, but they dwell far from here.*
*However, I have learned that there is a secret passage here. Help me, and the invention will help you.*
*Look for the jade gate and the emerald key on level 2C.*
* **Requirements:**
	+ Find the secret passage.

* **Rewards:**
	+ Experience x 5,000

### Quotes for Chapter I

After completing the chapter this text appears:

*Incredible! We've found an exit to the surface.*
### Notes for Chapter I

* Visit 2C, find Emerald elves, kill the Emerald elf boss (which gives you the Emerald key), find the Jade gate (green door) and unlock it.

## Chapter II: Meditative Walk

 This chapter becomes available upon interacting with The big wise raven (with yellow exclamation mark above), encountered immediately after entering F1 for the first time.

*Welcome! Look at this beautiful place. This forest is very soothing and bountiful... unlike its inhabitants...*

* **Rewards:**

## Chapter III: 8 Bits

### Notes for Chapter III

All MALUs can be collected by slaying both 2 bosses in all 4 forest dungeons (F1, F2, F3 and F4). After MALU has been looted from the boss and taken out of the dungeon (successfully completing the dungeon), this boss will no longer hold a MALU (this is similar to Emerald tablet shards in the stone dungeon).
