Walkthrough
- 1Exit S'warkii and head north to the save point. To your northwest, find a chest containing an Herb of Awakening.

- 4From the Roving Naturalist's location, head south, hugging the right wall, to find a path leading to a chest with a Slippery Nut.
- 5Continue to the West S'warkii Trail signpost. Take the short eastern path for a chest containing an Inspiriting Plum.

- 7Return to the signpost and head south to a save point. Open the chest just north of it for a Herb of Light.
- 8Follow the trail south of the save point as it curves east, then west, and finally southwest. Ignore the hidden eastern path leading to the Path of Beasts (Danger Level 15).
- 9Continue southwest to North Bolderfall Pass.
- 10Upon entering North Bolderfall Pass, you'll find a save point. A bridge to the west leads to Clearbrook, but proceed south.

- 12Take the other path (eastward) from the split to arrive at Bolderfall.
