Preview
After being sent to Tiek by Hazel, the player gathers flowers under Tiek's orders to try and heal the decay in the forest. After no avail, Tiek indirectly sends the player to a place where they learn of what happened in the Dark Forest and how the decay came to be.
Stage 1
» Talk to Hazel in the Dark Forest.
| Location | Dark Forest | X | -1445 | Y | 46 | Z | -5509 | Wynncraft Map |
Dialogue:
- Hazel: Hello, human. If you're here for some wood, I'm afraid we have only decayed, useless logs here.
- Hazel: This is the lumber yard for the forest, or at least, it was.
- Hazel: The forest decay can't have escaped your notice. It certainly didn't escape the trees.
- Hazel: It's been this way for years, but recently it's only gotten worse. At least before, trees could still be used for wood.
- Hazel: I know how you humans like to be helpful, so why don't you do us all a favour and stop the decay!
- Hazel: *sigh* Sorry, It just gets to you, you know? Watching the life around you slowly die.
- Hazel: If you actually wanted to help, you could speak to Tiek. She lives in the only part of the forest not under decay. Walk to her house in the east, deep in the forest.
Stage 2
» Find Tiek in the Dark Forest.
| Location | Dark Forest | X | -1260 | Y | 44 | Z | -5465 | Wynncraft Map |
Dialogue:
- Tiek: Finally, you are here. I've been waiting … who knows how many years.
- Tiek: I am the sorceress of the forest, I have been watching it for millennia.
- Tiek: I influenced it, watched it grow… and for the last 1000 years.. Watched it slowly die.
- Tiek: I am trying to restore it to what it used to be, a flourishing magical forest.
- Tiek: Alas, I have failed. I may be a powerful sorceress, but even I cannot even touch the darkness that plagues this land.
- Tiek: Perhaps you can assist me. I think I am onto a breakthrough. If you could just pop round into my garden and harvest some flowers for me.
- Tiek: Grab me [1 Ginseng], [1 Lobelia] and [1 Vervain].
- Tiek: Be quick, though. The less exposure to the forest the better! The garden is just round the side of my house.
Stage 3
» Grab Tiek 1 Ginseng, 1 Lobelia, and 1 Vervain from her garden.
Dialogue:
- Tiek: Oh no… Even my garden isn't immune anymore. My flowers are wilting.
- Tiek: You'll need to find some in the wild. Some of each species seem to be thriving in certain areas. I suppose that's natural selection for you.
- Tiek: Ginseng is a red plant that grows in caves, you'll have to search around here for some.
- Tiek: Let's see, and Lobelia is a pink flower that grows on top of trees. You'll have to climb one, try searching the ground for fallen petals.
- Tiek: Oh yes, Vervain will only grow around the dead. You'll need to look around for a place full of death.
- Tiek: Return to me when you find the wild flowers. I believe we can cure the forest with the combination.
Stage 4
» Return to Tiek with 1 Ginseng, 1 Lobelia, and 1 Vervain.

Dialogue:
- Tiek: They look a little shoddy, but at least they're all alive. This might just work..
- Tiek: Well a pinch of this, a splash of that. Using the blue flame of a Fleris.
- Tiek: Aaaaannd… Bam!
- Tiek: Here we are. One potion of light.
- Tiek: Alright, go and pour it on the black spot in the forest. Hurry, who knows what effect the decay would have on it.

Dialogue:
- Tiek: Oh. Oh dear. That was the strongest recipe I knew...

- Taproot: However, our power is derived from the good in your world. Our greatest source of power, Gavel, soon succumbed to sin, and our light began to fade.

| X | -1863 | Y | 44 | Z | -7029 |
Dialogue:
- Tiek: I should probably try and explain, you must be a little confused. We are not in the past, well, we are. But not physically.
- Tiek: I am also not a villager, although I take the physical form of one.
- Tiek: We are in the memory that the realm of light wants us to see and experience.
- Tiek: You are neither dead nor alive at this point. You are here to learn.
- Tiek: I can not directly influence you and tell you why you are here. As is the rules of our world.
- Tiek: Explore this land, it should seem familiar. It was what the forest was, before the events that occurred 1000 years ago.
- Tiek: Search for the two stones and pass between them. It will reveal the true enemy.

Dialogue:
- Tiek: So, you either understand what's happened here, or you, like many before you, have many more questions.
- Tiek: I'm afraid I can not directly tell you where to go. I myself have been sent here from my realm to find a solution.
- Tiek: But I believe the issues of this world, your world, can only be solved by those that inhabit it.
- Tiek: I can, however, send you in the right direction..
- Tiek: The thing that you witnessed enter this forest 1000 years ago was not unknown to some who inhabit these woods.
- Tiek: To progress, you must seek the one who is as old as the forest. He, and only he will have the answers you seek to pursue the enemy.
Tips
- In Stage 8 in the event of the rainbow trail not being visible after pressing the button in Tiek's basement head across the bridge at [-1328, 83, -5613]
- In Stages 10-11, the first text event, which is on the second jump is not aligned properly and is on the right side of the block too small, so sneak to the right edge of that platform to trigger the text event.
- During Stage 12, simply follow the path, or walk along the stone wall behind Tiek's house until you find a gate (then follow the path), to find the two stones (there are invisible walls!)
- During Stage 12, if you wander too far from the designated path, it will teleport you back to the cave, but there is a bug where it puts you behind the barriers, leaving Teleport Scrolls and /kill to be the only way to escape.
