After discovering Taro's knife, I had to go to the Forgotten Forest where Rusu would wait for me but I entered his house instead to see if I could find anything there. I found my 18th and 19th Rot there along with some crystals.
Then I used a warp point to fast travel close to the Forgotten Forest. I found this place where I'd be able to summon Taro after finding all three relics.
There was a closed door that I need to open to get to the Forgotten Forest. I had to connect some points that were around the door and then it got opened for me.
I entered the Forgotten Forest and found Rusu there. Rusu mentioned no one knows the true age of the shrines inside the Forgotten Forest and the people who built them have long been forgotten, but their work still remains.
Rusu said Taro's spirit has corrupted the shrines and sealed the entrance to the guardian tree and he also said he could feel Taro's presence around. As Rusu marked the Shrine locations on my map, I was going towards there.
After reaching closed to the first shrine, there was this corrupted heart zone where a lot of enemies were waiting for me and there were some big-sized bees that were shooting me with fireballs.
I focused on the big enemy first and after taking it down with Rot Hammer, I shot the bees and then I killed the other ones.
I noticed the river water was also corrupted and I could die right after getting in the water.
There were more enemies on my way forward and when I reached the corrupted heart zone, I had to fight some enemies though it was not so hard.
After taking down the enemies, I purified the area and then Rusu appeared there to tell me the waters there are sacred as melting snow from the Mountain Shrine feeds these streams.
I found this strange flower that had special power. When I was shooting the flower with an arrow, it was doing something to float me though I found its real work later.
I kept moving forward and I found another corrupted zone though I didn't see any enemies around which was unusual.
Look at this bridge. It looks like the nature itself constructed the bridge there.
This is the Guardian Tree which was burnt out by fire but it lives on. Rusu said its roots run deep, connecting it with the Ancient Shrines. Rusu suggested me to clean the shrines to open the door.
I'll show what happens next later.
I personally took all the screenshots from my play and I used a logo of the game from online to use in the thumbnail.
This is Pikachuuuuu signing off. Over and out.
