Ezarus Forest Walkthrough
The first stage of the Volcano path. A dense woodland opening that gives you your first real platforming routes and a pair of early trophy checks.
Story Purpose
The first stage of the Volcano path. A dense woodland opening that gives you your first real platforming routes and a pair of early trophy checks.
This page covers the main route only. Collectible counts and the full post-story sweep stay on the Collectibles page.
Route
- Follow the story marker out of Tick Town into the forest.
- Use jump, dash, and the early grapple points on the first vertical routes.
- Stay on the main path; side ledges can wait for later movement.
- Use the Ezarus Forest Fast Travel Point for the optional NPC checks below.
Wrath Boss Fight
Wrath waits at Howling Geode between Ezarus Forest and Mount Cinder. Use the standard 75/50/25 platform-break pattern, keep facing the boss as it repositions, and avoid lingering in the center during a sweep telegraph.
Read the full fight notes on the Bosses page, and use the area list on Worlds if you need the path order.
Missable Checks
- Heartless — from the Fast Travel, go left and climb the platforms in front of the NPC.
- You seem familiar — talk to the small-crown NPC at the Fast Travel, follow the path left of them into the castle, and read the book beside the chest.
Collectibles In This Stage
Some checklists spell this stage Erazus Forest. It is the same area. Keep the first-sweep route in mind, but leave high ledges until later movement unlocks.
For exact types and the turn-in list, see All Collectibles.
