We've done our Luciola battles and our Forest Expedition battles; now it's time to prove ourselves in Mama Tree. Illi and Tambo are rather popular for side quests, so maybe see if there are any that interest you before going into this.
Lore[]
"There are far tougher creatures in the forest than you. Tougher than me even," Velts admits. "Let's see how you do against some of the tougher creatures around, and then maybe... maybe, you'll be ready to take on the true guardians of the Elder Library." Velts gives off a creepy smile again. "Like the Curator, they are unassuming, but the Curator was once a humble librarian, dedicated to research and planning. Their sacrifices and deeds elevated them to something so much more. Be ready for anything.”
