To enter the Wild Woods, you are going to need to clear away more large Inkies. These Inkies are stronger than the ones leading to The Bind. It will take 2000 Story Magic to clear them away.

As soon as you’ve accumulated enough Story Magic (by completing Story Duties from the Dreamlight Menu), interact with one of the walls of Inkies that block the entrances to the Wild Woods. When you do, Merida will come running and help you clear the way!

Quest Task: You’ve cleared away the ink! The first part of Everafter is yours to discover.

The Wild Woods is a neat place to explore.

There is another one of Goofy’s broken down stalls in the area. The mining spots are ripe with new gems. The flora and fauna is also different from anything you’ve seen so far. What fun!

There are also Snippets here, but these are different than the ones in the Library of Lore. These look like… frogs. This area is going to need a little Snippet catching cleanup too!

But you have a mission to complete and based on the tracks you see, the Wolf of the Wilds is not far away.

The tracks left by the Wolf of the Wilds lead you to an area deep in the Wild Woods that houses a small Gazebo. The Gazebo is engulfed in the magical ink.

There seems to be more to this Gazebo than meets the eye. There is a broken lever nearby. Could the Gazebo be some sort of a gateway? Perhaps The Lorekeeper will be able to tell you more.

Quest Task: You’ve found a mysterious gateway, swirling with magical ink, deep in the Wild Woods.

• Ask the Lorekeeper about it.

You were right. The Gazebo in the Wild Woods is a gateway. The Lorekeeper explains that it leads to a Fairy Tale Trial.

The Fairy Tale Trials are another result of the feud between Hades and Maleficent.

Maleficent wanted to rewrite the Fairy Tales to her liking, but her magic went wrong. It became corrupted and jumbled. Her castle broke apart and is now spread, along with the corruption, throughout the large area on the west side of Storybook Vale known as the Everafter.

To get to Maleficent, you will need to remove the corruption and set the magic right.

Quest Task: The Lorekeeper warned you about venturing into the forest alone.

• Talk to Merida

Since the Wolf of the Wilds is still lurking somewhere in The Wild Woods, Merida and her trusty bow join you as you venture out once again into the Wild Woods.

Quest Task: Follow Merida to the Fairy Tale Trial in the Wild Woods.

Quest Task: Follow Merida to the Fairy Tale Trail…but keep an eye out for any big bad wolves.

Head back to the Gazebo.

The lever to activate the portal doesn’t look badly damaged. It just needs the wheel, which is lying behind a nearby bush.

Quest Task: Merida thinks the wheel was torn off by a wolf…

• Search the area for the Missing Wheel and restore it to its rightful place

Place the wheel back on the pedestal and swing your Royal Net to activate it. The lever causes the portal inside the Gazebo to appear. The Fairy Tale Trial awaits!

Pro Tip: As soon as you interact with the pedestal, this quest finished and another takes its’ place.

Pro Tip: Don’t worry if you didn’t clear the ink before interacting with the pedestal. It will be removed when you complete the Fairy Tale Trial in A Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing.
