You’ve heard rumors about the Elderwood. It’s supposedly not a place for the faint of heart. Even those living around the area seem to find it mysterious.
Now though, it seems like the fate of humans may be intertwined in some way with the Elderwood. With a new ‘tap’ activated to the Elderwood, you should team up with Subira again to investigate.
Prerequisites For ‘The Elderwood’

In order to investigate the Elderwood with Subira, you’ll first need to complete the following:
You’ll be able to check the status of ‘The Elderwood’ quest any time in the main menu ‘Quests’ section. It should show up under the ‘Main Story’ tab of quests.
You’ll automatically receive this quest once you’ve completed ‘Answering The Call’.
Enter The Elderwood

You’ll find the entrance to the Elderwoods in Bahari Bay at the ‘Outskirts’ label on the map. Once you enter, you’ll see Nai’o. Talk to him to find out what he’s doing there.
Meet Nai’o at the Elderwood stables. Talk to Nai’o when you reach the stables. Nai’o has noticed the Elderwood feels a bit different, and he’s concerned about a young boy he noticed on previous visits.
The boy isn’t following his usual behaviors, so Nai’o is concerned that he may be in trouble. Nai’o will mark 3 areas on the map for you to check for signs of the boy.
| Interact with the stable board to unlock the ability to fast-travel to the Elderwood. |
Check the following areas for the missing boy:

You’ll see the areas on your map marked with purple and gold flags. Once you’ve searched all areas, return to the Central Stables in the Elderwood and talk to Nai’o.
After you talk to Nai’o and Subira, the quest will complete. You’ll receive an ‘Umbraan Thing‘ which is marked as a rare artifact. You’ll also automatically receive the next quest called, ‘The Nature of Shadows‘ as well as a side quest called ‘Pieces of the Past‘.
