Quick Links
When you first start playingEiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, you’ll get introduced to various main characters of the story. However, after the initial introduction, you’ll be directly thrown into a monster-infested forest where you have to find your way to the Runebarrows.
You’ll be joined by five other members on this expedition, and the game gives you various necessary supplies through the chests scattered in the area. However, you’ll have to take a specific path if you want to get past the fog and reach the Runebarrows.
How To Remove The Fog
As you enter the Northern Forest, you’ll have quite an easy time at the start since the path is quite straightforward. For this particular dungeon, you may also seethe side paths being a little darker than the main path, making it easier for you to know which one you’re supposed to take. This mainly happens because all the side paths are leading downwards while the main one leads upward.
However, once you get past the second side path on the top left side and start climbing through the tree branch,you’ll realize that the mini-map isn’t there anymore. The fog in the area hides the minimap and you have to find your own way forward. Simply keep going to the right and you’ll find a small entrance to another tree branch there.
If you try to keep going to the top left part here, the fog will block your path and teleport you backto where the map stops working.
You can see the path on the right just underneath the save point here. As you go past it and reach the bottom, movedownward to trigger a cutscene and enter the Forest Eater boss fight.
How To Defeat The Forest Eater
Forest Eater will be your first boss fight in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, andwhile it isn’t particularly a difficult one, it’s still important to keep a few mechanics in mind to have an easier time here. If you’ve been opening chests on your way to this fight, you likely already have some healing and revival items.
If one of your characters gets on low HP, don’t be afraid touse these items or the rune-lens abilities from Hildito heal them back up. It’s important to keep the characters alive, and you can easily get these items back through the chests in the next area or by buying them from the Potion Shop merchants.
It’s recommended to use Hildi’s water abilitieswhile you have the mana for itif you’re planning to heal your allies.
It’s also important to use your SP abilities for other characters whenever possible. Characters gain one SP every time they don’t use an SP ability, and most characters in this battlehave an ability that can be triggered once they have two of them. These abilities deal much higher damage to the boss, allowing you to defeat it easily.
Moreover, if some of your characters are eliminated in battle, they automatically revive with one HP as soon as it ends. However, if thebattle ends with the character(s) knocked out, they won’t get any experience from it.
All Chest Locations In Northern Forest
Apart from progressing through this area and beating the boss to reach the Runebarrows, it’s alsohighly important to claim every chest you’re able to find. Some of these chests might be hidden in the side paths as well:
1
6x Healing Herb
Can be found at the early stages of the Northern Forest bytaking the left path when it gets divided into twopast the save point.
2
Ruby Ring
Once you reach the middle part of Northern Forest, you’ll have a choice tokeep going up or take the side path down. You’ll find this chest at the end of the side path.
3
400x Baqua
4
2x Revival Medicine
After taking the path down to lift the fog, you cango a little upward to find this chest. You’ll spot it as you’re on this path.
5
Tricorne Hat
Found at the left of the Runebarrow entrance. The maincutscene will trigger before you can get this chest, so it’s recommended to go for it just before you enter the barrows.
