If its “ligaments are loose, and it falls down by its own weight,” English physician Nicholas Culpeper warned, or it could wander north, producing a choking sensation and syncope, aptly labeled suffocation of the mother. Without shedding this excess, the womb could travel throughout the body, sometimes as far north as the throat, or as far south as the knees. Monthly shedding and regular intercourse were often recommended for women to release gratuitous female seed and prevent humoral clogging. Medical manuals from the period are rife with tales of the womb becoming dislodged and wandering throughout the body. Alas, such primitive methods aren’t sufficient to eradicate this menace, as the flower will simply grow back! Looks like you’ve got more work to do.When prescribing curatives for a wandering womb, early modern medical practitioners regularly propose pungent materials to return the womb to its rightful place in the abdomen. Still, their damage output is nowhere near that of the owlbears you dispatched earlier, so you shouldn’t have much trouble putting them down.Īfter the wyverns are slain, interact with the “Everblooming Flower” and choose to. The Ancient Wyvern is probably the greatest threat here, but all wyverns get enough attacks in a round that something is likely to slip past your defenses. The Red Dweomerwyvern can irregularly use Burning Arc while the Ancient Wyvern has unusually high stats (for a wyvern). It’s not alone, however, being protected by three wyverns - an Ancient Wyvern, a Yellow Dweomerwyvern, and a Red Dweomerwyvern. This time, do not equip the Magical Lantern and pass through the mist to emerge at a clearing where the Everbloom Flower grows. Vanquish the spiders and beyond them you’ll find another cloud of mist.

Apparently she’s not working from the understandable motive of defending the natural order of the Stolen Lands, but she’s serving an even more powerful, predatory entity in search of atonement. While you’ve known for a long time that the Guardian of the Bloom wanted to keep the Stolen Lands lawless and uncivilized, what you didn’t know was how she’d set up - and then toppled - countless rulers and strongmen throughout history. She aided you when you sought to topple the Stag Lord, then turned on you and attempted to destroy your barony immediately after you claimed it. Follow her phantom to the north and you’ll be treated to another scene, this time with the Guardian of the Bloom being accosted by a giant flaming orb as some Will-o-Wisps chime in periodically. You saw the origin story of the Stag Lord back in the day, now it looks like this nymph is getting her own. You’ll appear in another section of the Other World area, where you’ll witness a ghostly image of the Guardian of the Bloom walking through a gauntlet of hostile - and equally ghostly - humanoids.

These serve as area transitions of a sort, although whether the mist is transporting you somewhere magically, or whether you lose yourself in it and emerge somewhere on the other side after an indeterminate period of travel is anyone’s guess. While this may look uncomfortably similar to the poison mist in the Swamp Witch’s Hut area, it actually has an entirely - mostly benign - function. Next turn your attention to two bluish-green, swirling clouds of mist on the ground, one northwest of where you entered this area, and one to the east of where you found the bird. Take advantage of the bird’s naivete and pocket the Mysterious Bird. If it wasn’t painfully obvious before, this is not a natural environment. This creature clearly has no natural fear of humanoids. Kill them and continue northeast to find a Bird perched on some vines. You’ll find one such cloud to the northwest, and for now, just note it and continue northeast to encounter a pair of Doomspiders. This area, simply known as “Other World” on your map, is actually several areas connected by clouds of mist. Weather the initial onslaught, then focus on picking off the Quickspiders one at a time (they can still score Sneak Attacks if they’re flanking, after all) then have a look at the eerie, verdant, alien world around you.
