Richard has finally decided to contribute something to the party, which is nice of him, so make sure to check his gear and AI settings. Before you even take one step up the ramp, grab the treasure with the Pickled Plum x3 and you should also be able to get the skit Face Time in the beach area.

Head up the ramp and you’ll likely run into the first of many events that require you to tap X quickly to avoid falling, so avoid these by holding O to walk. Continue around the corner, hugging the wall, and across the small bridge that leads to a treasure with Life Bottle x2 . If you approach the nest just a little further up the path you can discover the Abandoned Nest and get the skit A Brother’s Pride .

Walk across the ledge to get the Life Bottles and then check the Nest discovery.

Now continue for a scene just past the save point for a minor story fight.

After the fight you can watch the skit About Face and then head east to grab the Glassphere before climbing up the roots. After the scene, you’ll get the Pact Maker title and the skit The Meaning of Friendship . Make sure to examine the tree to discover the Friendship Tree and watch The Facts on Pacts skit.

Climb the roots for an important scene and then examine the tree for a discovery.

You now need to head back toward Lhant, but make sure to get the skit Fight or Fright at the healing spring first.
