Harmonic Arboretum is one of the many Wool Dungeons found in the second region, Celsian Isles. It is home to the pink wool.

Lore

"Forced to retreat underground by a wintry calamity, a long-forgotten tribe constructed four sheltered villages in hidden locations. Valuing the harmony of nature, they designed a lush arboretum to contain and protect their most cherished treasure: powerful pink wool.

The Harmonic Arboretum has now been sealed for so long that none remember exactly what lies inside or what sentries will patrol it. Explore the secrets of the lost tribe and their dark history, and claim their relic for yourself if you dare disrupt the harmony..."

The door to the arboretum itself is sealed and can only be opened when the four sanctuaries are deactivated. The player may choose the first season they enter, blocking the path of the other seasons until it is complete. The seasons will unlock afterwards based on traditional seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter). Each season leads to a village with a temple. At the end of the temple is the season's sanctuary that must be turned off.

The path forward will consist of large rooms and barriers that prevent progression. To disable the barriers, the player must enter a portal to arrive in the "dissonant realm", a twisted version of the arboretum, to destroy the barrier crystal. A total of three barriers will be broken on the path towards the final section.

The final area is a large room with a spring field in the center. There is a small building in the center surrounded by a moat which contains the pressure plate to the reward room. However, as it is also surrounded by another barrier, the player must enter the portal on the opposite end of the room to enter the dissonant realm once again. The twisted version of the room is drastically different, with void underneath and large vine-like platforms the player must traverse. At the end is a large fleshy orb that contains a portal leading to beneath the once-protected building. Walk up the stairs to reach the pressure plate.
