Then, start tracking the Reed Devil. Follow the road to the southeast. On the way, destroy the turning pillars. Doing so will prevent attackers from appearing. They can also be destroyed by arrows.

The road leads to the Mountain of Frozen Souls Hearth. There is another fast travel platform before you arrive there.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
