missing biome? [found: was the ghost forest]

[KromeHWI]

i have a memory from EA about a sort of sub biome in the lost river that was filled with tree roots and things. i think i remember it being on one of the way back up to the surface from down deep. there are some spots with tree roots and stuff in the game now, but i feel like there was at least one large chamber filled with "tree" like things, with lots of twisty roots you could move around and through that does not appear to exist anymore.

does anyone have any idea what i am talking about and know if it is still in the game? i explored i think all of the lost river but have not found the chamber i remember (vaguely).

This sounds like the Giant Cove Tree. It’s still there. Despite being a nest for ghost leviathan eggs, it’s actually a safe zone and you can put a base there without fear. It’s closest to the Lost River entrance near Lifepod #2, but you can find it after a longer trek from the entrance near the 2nd Degasi seabase (500m). You will pass a juvenile ghost leviathan from either entrance. [\spoiler]

Sounds like the ghost forest, near the entrance of the northern blood kelp zone.

The lost river has a corridor that is literally all tree roots. Another area is called the 'Ghost Forest' full of fossilized trees with bioluminescent tips. A large chamber in the middle is the Cove with the one safe tree in the whole place. Are any of those what you're describing?

its not the giant cove tree. or the large lost river coridor with all the roots and bones (even though yes there are a lot of roots in the lost river). im not sure what the ghost forest is, and not seeing it on the wiki. anyone have coordinates so i can check it out to see if it what i am remembering? i feel like ive already found the way down to the lsot river form the bloodkelp, but it is possible there are multiple ways...

There is a second way down into the LR from the 'second' bloodkelp zone - you'll find the entrance around CTO Yu's Lifepod signal.

ok, so the trees i am remembering are very much like the ones you find after the giant cove tree on the giant steps heading down into the inactive lava zone. with the glowing tips. i remember a large roundish chamber filled with these, like a forest. it was filled with the deep river prowler eel things although that could well be different post release.

The entrance near CTO Yu's Lifepod. The one you may remember is in the Blood Kelp TRENCH, which is a separate blood kelp zone.

If you know where the egg tree is, come out of that back into the LR, and at the giant fat skeleton, turn left and there's a hidden hole up near the ceiling that takes you into the corridor you seek. Although it's not very Cyclops friendly, and I've never found the way in from the surface.

yep! thats the place! thanks!

The entrance to it is from the deep grand reef.

the odd thing is that i could have sworn that i had already gone down the tunnel from yu's lifepod, but i clearly can not have, because the ghost forest is only just a short way down and impossible to miss. i guess i planed to after i found the pod, but never got around to coming back to it.

i suppose that's a problem with having played so much EA for this game, things are not always as you remember them, and it all kind of blurs together...

anyway,
cheers!
