*Apollo* - Akuma Kira

**Yosei Forest** is typically one of the first areas the player visits, offering a wide variety of items to the player.

## Walkthrough

**Tip: There are a lot of boxes near the start of the forest perfect for farming Items**

### To Underground Forest

When you start the area, you'll immediately be in the room that contains the Crystal. If you picked up Blood Strike in the Hollow Basin you can use it on the plant under the dead end to the left of the Crystal as a quick shortcut to the ground. If you have not picked up Blood Strike head to the right of the crystal across the bridges watching out for Lunagas. Make sure to watch your step it is very easy to fall off here.

While heading across the bridges you will find a cross in your path, the one to the right has a pretty trick jump that leads to the Holy Warmth ring. The path to the left leads to the Blood Drain ring. Both ring's are good, Holy Warmth heals you and Blood Drain allows you to open a lot of secrets. Both paths will take you to the bottom of the forest.

Once you reach the bottom of the forest head out of the tunnels and to the right. Once the trees stop look behind you, there is a chest containing the Elfen Bow there. Head forwards until you see 2 deer, look up and you'll see a shining object on the branches. This is the Elfen Sword use the Elfen Bow or any other ranged attack to knock the sword down and pick it up. Continue heading forwards and enter the large tree, there is a path to the underground forest there.

### To Patchouli

Head to the first open path to the right in the forest, you'll find a hallway that spans to the right and left. Head to the left and then the left again, continue forwards until you find a hole downwards. This is a one way trip, jump down. Once you reach the bottom continue moving forwards and take the first path to the right. There will be a bulb to your left open it with a blood spell to get the Earth Strike ring. Turn to the right of the bulb and head forwards, continue heading forwards until you find a path to your left. Head down the path and to your left will be Patchouli's Shop to the right will be a Mirage that opens a path back to the forest's entrance.

### To the Accursed Tomb

From Patchouli's Shop the Accursed Tomb is not too far, head to the right path in front of the sign back into the tunnels of the underground forest. Immediately head down the path to your left, you will find a hole. Jump down the to find the door to the Accursed Tomb.

Many souls have tried and failed to climb the

Answer lay below?

Alas, I gave all my blood to the forest,
but it wasn't enough.

My downward journey through the roots is taking
its toll. Although the roots are free of the
paralytic ooze the upward branches have, I am
weary of these aggressive sproutlings.
