=空臨む蛇の尻尾(Tail of the Sky Serpent)-Kill the green slimes for the quest-Continue down until you see the blue crystal, and teleport to the next area

=地這う愚者の回廊(Grueling Corridor of Fools)-Follow through the area, and you'll find a teleport crystal that isn't activated. Continue on and you'll have to fight 3 Fat Slimes to activate the teleportation crystal. The Fat Slimes takes a while to kill, but rather harmless. -Once the crystal is activated teleport through

=静寂なる新緑の林道(Serene Verdant Path)

-The path loops in a big circle, with many intersection that leads to either a chest or forward. If you start walking for too long without a chest turn back and go the other path for the chest so you don't have to double back

-Remember to gathering the 高級キノコ (High Grade Mushroom, as seen from the picture) from the gathering spots. 

-Note that not all the items gathered from the spot are for the quest. 

-Also kill more of the Wisdom Trento for the quest item あまーい樹液 (Sweeeeet Tree Sap)

-The Mandrake monsters are actually not very strong. 

-Proceed south for a teleport crystal to the next area

=荒ぶる戦鬼達の開拓地 (Land of the Bloodthirtsy Savages)
-There is a group of other players that requests that you help them find the Sweeeet Tree Sap. Keep killing the Wisdom Trento around them until 3 of the Sweeeeet Tree Sap drops 
-Make a sharp left into immediately upon entering this area to find a cave guarding by  goblins 

=嘲笑いし鬼達の洞穴 (Cave of the Mocking Orges)
-Clear the place of treasure and kill the NMゴブリンリーダー (NM Goblin Leader)
-Return to the previous map
-Head into the dungeon maze via the bridge 

=宝纏いし殺戮者の迷宮1~4階(Treasure Slaughter Maze 1~4)
-Don't even bother doing all the interrupt missions because the slimes take so long to kill and the reward is SO BAD
-Just run across everything and grab the loot
-As usual, head to the 4th floor, reach the boss room and teleport back to Arc Sophia. Speak to Lampard once you're ready to fight the boss
