Palia’s Elderwood expansion introduces a mystical, ancient forest filled with secrets, quests, and rare resources. Whether you're a new player exploring Palia on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S or a seasoned Kilima resident, this guide will help you access The Elderwood, navigate its sprawling map, and make the most of its enchanting landscapes.
To begin your journey into The Elderwood, head to The Outskirts in Bahari Bay (Map Coordinates: B-2). The entrance is located northwest of Bahari Bay, just southwest of Tamala’s house. Look for a massive, root-covered doorway—this is your gateway to the magical forest.
Fast Travel Tip: If you've unlocked fast travel points, the closest one is Bahari - The Outskirts, making the journey quicker.
While Singularity 6 recommends progressing through certain main story quests for smoother gameplay, you can enter The Elderwood immediately. However, completing these quests enhances your experience:
Vault of the Waves
Vault of the Flames
Vault of the Gales
Vault of the Roots
Troubled Waters
Into the Fire
Up in the Air
Rooted In Place
If you’ve finished these, the Elderwood cinematic will play upon logging in, triggering the "Answering the Call" quest. Completing this leads to Subira’s follow-up quest, "The Elderwood," where you’ll officially begin your adventure.
