You can either throw a mine or a crate to open it :p

Thanks!

I'm having trouble in the forest area. I grabbed the magic crystal when I had just a shade less than 3000 loot. Now after running all around the forest area, I have about 3800 -- far less than the 5000 I need.

I've found the loot on the mushroom, the secret loot, the loot in the hollow tree (with spider), two pieces of loot under the roots of one tree, one piece of loot under another tree root. I still need about 1200 more, and I haven't found any new loot in the last hour!

Are there other caches? Because if not, I'll just have to call it a day, and to heck with it. I'm not getting anywhere; and of course, I can't go back to the city area, so far as I know.

Loot in the forest:
The giant hollow - 3 pieces.
Under treebeast-like roots - 1 piece (near giant Treebeast)
2 fallen trunks upstairs and near it - total 6 (including 1 secret).
On the hat of mushroom - 1 piece.
Tiny hollow near the den - 2 pieces (you need to climb to the treebeast-like roots).
Left and right of the hole - 4 pieces.

And no, you can't go back to the city area.

I'm stuck in the room with the apebeast and the haunts. There's a gate on the right that I can't open, and I see no other way to continue. Outside, on the other part of the building there's another window with a couple of gargoyles above it, but there's no way I can reach it from the outside.

Hint - have a look at the other gates in that room to see which one is slightly different.

Outright spoiler - The last gate on the right can be mantled. If you just jump on and go up one or two steps, you can then mantle over and through it.

For the statues - you can climb up on the open vent door, and if you move towards the end of the door, you can then mantle onto the ledge and reach the statues with a couple of vine arrows.

The author of this mission sent me an update (version 1.2). It addressed the following bug:

It also adds a Polish translation (by Keeper M.).

I have a complete loot list made. With the author's permission I could post it on my website. Just PM me and I'll do it, but not until then.
You can get a total of 1750 loot in the forest, which means you need at least 3250 before getting the crystal to meet the loot requirement.

PS: In the message you get before taking the crystal, it should say how much gold you need at that point. Otherwise there are a lot of players (like Dafydd) who's not gonna bother to keep going, and understandably so.

PPS: I was also planning on doing a video walkthrough to post on YouTube, but my framerate is so low in the forest (<10) there's almost no point.
