The Wilds (mission)

Mission Objectives
Hunt down the Shining Blade Kidnappers, and rescue the Chosen they have taken hostage.
 * Chase the fleeing Shining Blade.
 * Rescue the Chosen.
 * Discover how the Shining Blade navigates the jungle.
 * BONUS Defeat the two Centaur chieftains.

Primary
Follow the path in order to chase the Shining Blade and rescue the Chosen. Some places along the path are occupied by Entangling Roots, which will block the way. Kill the Entangling Roots to remove the plant wall blocking the way. After the first cut-scene, a large number of centaurs will come at you, so try to deal with one mob at a time (A on the map). After the second cut-scene, kill the spiders to save the chosen and complete the mission.

Bonus
Early on in this mission you will reach a crossroads. As well as the path back the way you came and the path forwards, there are paths to the left and right. These paths actually form a loop that goes under the path forwards. Go around the loop and watch out for a path leading off from it. At the end of that path you will see two centaurs (1 on the map). This is the most difficult part of the bonus - do not attack them. Walk forwards slowly until they start talking and then wait until their conversation is finished. Then attack them. They will drop a Vine seed. Take it with you and continue with your quest. Return to the crossroads and continue down the center path.

Further on in the mission, you will get to a point where you see the person you're following running and a large number of centaurs rushing towards you. Kill them, and then head up the path the centaurs ran down (northwards and eastwards). You will find a glowing circle where you can plant your seed to create a bridge (2 on the map). Then you will need to kill quite a number of centaurs and centaur bosses, including the two centaur bosses whose deaths complete the bonus mission (3 on the map).
