The quest starts once you talk to the Woodsmith after finishing the Help the Woodsmith misison.
Your objective is to find another relic.
There are three locations you must visit: The Watchtower, Ancient Well and Rufus' Barn.
He’s a bit weaker here though and serves as a regular enemy.
You should still prioritize him, as he creates reinforcements often.
Now that you have a bow and bombs, fighting Kappa should be much easier.
After defeating Kappa take a Forest Tear and place it on the flower, creating the original Rot form.
Destroy the obstacles around you by using Rot.
By clearing the obstacles you’ll create a new flower, which lets you use Rot.
Throw a bomb at some glowing rocks.
There’s yet another obstacle behind the rocks.
Destroy it with Rot, then go to the other side.
You’ll find even more glowing rocks.
Throw a bomb at them to form them into platforms.
Jump onto the first platform.
There’s a flower on the second one, shoot it to grapple to it.
Don’t stop aiming while you grapple, making sure time stays slowed down.
Once you do so, you should safely land on a platform.
Jump onto the next platform and cleanse the flower with Rot and Pulse.
You’ll complete one of the three objectives.
There’s also a shooting challenge on the platform the flower once rested upon.
If you shoot down all targets, you’ll be rewarded with Rot.
Stand on the painting and use Pulse to start the challenge.
Ancient Well
Nearing the Ancient Well, you’ll spot many rocks in a single place.
Throw a bomb at them to create platforms.
There are also three rocks underneath the wooden bridge on the left.
Walk across the wooden bridge and then go down, heading right.
You must do so with three crystals.
Throw a bomb at the rocks, climb onto them, then shoot a flower to grapple to it.
The final crystal is on top.
Once again throw a bomb at it and use Pulse to progress.
Afterwards stand on the platform and use Pulse again.
This will launch the way forward.
Head down the stairs into the cave.
Standing over the pit you’ll notice several enemies waiting for you.
The first wave of enemies consists of two lizards and some basic enemies.
The next wave consists of shield-bearers and a Sprout Captain downgraded to a regular enemy.
Deal with the shield-bearers first, leaving the Sprout Captain for last.
To make the fight easier shoot its weak spots and use Rot.
Cleanse the flower after the fight and go down.
On the other side you should notice a red flower and a Forest Tear.
It’s located above you.
Shoot it to make it fall onto the smaller flower.
Then throw the bomb at the glowing rocks.
Some ranged enemies will appear on the other side.
Defeat them, then use the original Rot form to walk to the other side.
Head for the shrine.
Cleanse it, then cleanse the flower to the left with Rot and your bow.
Keep walking, you’ll arrive on the other side.
Use the purified shrine, jump over the collapsed bridge and go down.
Jump over the pit and grab the ledge on the left.
After jumping down from the edge you’ll be attacked by four flying creatures.
Shoot them down with your bow.
Then throw the bomb at the glowing rocks.
After doing so, go outside and head towards the blue flowers.
Shoot them to get to the other side.
Then use the elevator.
Only one objective to complete the quest remains.
Rufus' Barn
Heading towards Rufus' Barn, you’ll see poisoned water.
You won’t be able to reach the other side until you use a platform on the right.
Shoot the shield with a blue crystal on it to activate the platform.
Once it gets close to it, jump on it and grab the ledge.
Jump to the other side and head right to open a chest containing Rot.
Then head the other way, jumping down onto the wooden platforms.
As you keep going forward, you’ll spot two chests with gems.
Open them, then head right.
Proceed, and you’ll be attacked by a new enemy.
Shoot them from far away with your bow.
A quick, uncharged shot is enough to deal with them.
Defeat them and move on.
You’ll now be able to move some huge barrels.
Place the tall barrel on the left, near the root.
Then jump onto the root.
The description of the boss fight is on a separate page of this guide.
This concludes the quest.
