Mare Arboreo

Every time you blaze a trail through the Sea of Trees, its woodlands grow more tangled—and its traumas more terrifying. It has so many variations that we can cover only a few examples of what you'll see.

The Sea of Trees contains so many challenges—which change every time you plunge in—that you may wonder if you'll ever emerge from the forest. You'll encounter many obstacles that you won't find in any other stage, such as tree mazes choked with plant life and railways that cut through the wilderness. Only if you work as a team will you have a chance at survival. If you go your separate ways, the forest will devour you.

To whittle the gelatinous creature down to nothing, position one party member on either side of the creature, then bat it back and forth with your swords. If you do so quickly, the creature won't have time to regenerate.

The bizarre foes with ears that protrude far from their bodies have little to fear from a single player's attack. But if each of two players grabs an ear and pulls, the critter will split apart and dump its innards all over the lawn.
