The first lantern in the Forbidden Woods is located by taking the left path at a significant fork within the area.
To find this crucial checkpoint in the sprawling Forbidden Woods, follow these directions from the initial entry point until you reach a notable division in the path:
- Locate the Main Fork: Progress through the Forbidden Woods until you come across a distinct fork in the road, offering a clear choice between a left and a right path. This fork is a key navigational point.
- Initial Exploration (Right Path Context): While not leading directly to the lantern, exploring the right path from this fork can be beneficial. This route often leads past a bonfire and may feature an Executioner guarding valuable items such as a Madman's Knowledge and an Adept Blood Gemstone (2). After exploring this section, it is essential to return to the fork to proceed to the lantern.
- Proceed to the Lantern (Left Path): Once back at the main fork, take the left path. Continue along this route, and you will discover the first lantern in the Forbidden Woods, serving as a vital checkpoint for your journey.
Locating this lantern is essential for establishing a convenient respawn point, allowing Hunters to return to a closer location within the challenging Forbidden Woods after facing its numerous dangers and complex pathways.
