Scarlet Woods walkthrough

When to use it

Use it right after starting the game or whenever you want a steadier opening route into Iris Hamlet.

Route focus

The point of this route is not speed. It is to leave Scarlet Woods understanding the opening rhythm instead of stumbling into town half-oriented.

Prerequisites

• Start a new file
• Follow the opening storm sequence

Step flow

1. Follow the story until Trey and Moka are safe enough for the route to open up.
2. Use the route to learn movement, encounters, and recovery pacing instead of sprinting straight through.
3. Leave only after you feel ready to understand the first settlement's choices and conversations.

Before you leave this route

• Make sure the opening route no longer feels like a blur.
• Notice what the game is teaching about pacing, recovery, and early gathering.
• Be clear on why Iris Hamlet is your next important anchor.

Rewards and outcomes

• Better opening route rhythm
• Cleaner transition into Iris Hamlet

Missables

• Skipping the route's early lesson on supplies and pacing

Common mistakes

• Treating the woods like a cutscene instead of your first real route lesson
• Reaching town without noticing what the opening wanted you to practice

Finish check

You are done here when the route feels like a lesson you absorbed, not just a story segment you survived.
