Makna Forest

Makna Forest is a lush jungle area that the player comes to after travelling through a limited section of the Bionis’ Interior. It is home to a lot of new types of enemies not seen before, plus it is also home to the only Nopon settlement in the game. However, you won’t be able to access every single area in the Makna Forest on your first visit, due to a broken bridge towards the northwest that gets repaired after completing a sidequest later on in the game. Makna Forest has a unique weather condition called “Heatwave,” which is obvious when the birds stop singing and the air is hazy.
