Forgotten River is a location on the east of the Twigroot Forest. It separates the forest from the castle with a river. In order to enter the castle you will have to place four elemental essences (made of four Power Gems each) on the four pedestals. Between these pedestals you can also use your center rune from your spell book, which will teleport you to the Shrine of Balance, there you will be able to create an essence of balance, but you will need it only after exploration of the castle. Teleport will work only after you place the four other essences on the pedestals. Gems, are located everywhere on the island. Forgotten River is no exception, as you can find one of them in its area. This is the first location in which you are able to walk underwater. Be careful though, there are also enemies to be found and your oxygen supply is limited. Through the river you can also get to the adjoining location on the north and south.
