[SPOILERS] Sacred Grove Help.

[MC1_Judge]

I'm in the Sacred Grove, obviously, and I've met with 'Mother' and had Lioslaith join my party.

But for the life of me, I can't find my way to the next waypoint. I'm just going around in circles. I must have missed something. The closest I can get is from the old castle ruin, I can see where I need to get, but the river/stream doesn't seem crossable.

Please, can someone point out what an idiot I am and explain what I've missed.

Just past the old Castle Ruins (Where the puzzle with 4 statues is), is a thorny barrier you're supposed to "sing" away.
The new party member should have thought you a new song to manipulate the world around you.
Just like all the other partymembers have done.

I don't think I gained another song. The songs I have are;

Wildland Wistle
Hidey-Bide
Gaufain's Hammer
Jarnels Eye
The Stone Remembers
What the River takes.

Lioslaith teaches you the song as soon as you close in on the thorny barrier.
Leave the village center and walk past the quarry on the road that passes through a castle ruin on the right (Dinner Table Puzzle) and a green pasture with a lot of deers. Just at the end of that road, there's a save totem and a thorny barrier.

Thanks JSvBladel,

I took the wrong path and headed back out, after seeing mother, the way I entered.

Told you I was an idiot and missed the obvious....

You're welcome!

And you're no idiot for getting lost in the woods. Think of it as sight seeing ;-)

Now if only the waypoint led you to the ONLY barrier she'll teach you to sing away, instead of leading you all the way across the map with no freaking clues!!! :{
