How to reach new area? Birds attack when I glide over.

I'm not sure if I have to find the new NPC first or what. I've been to all previous biomes that I know of, so I have max gear prior to update.

You need to progress with the main story and NPC will tell you how.

Last quest I got was "Wait till next update" or something. Should I have a quest updated or do I need to talk to an NPC to continue? I already opened the clover chest or something, and it said to wait till update.

I literally got over the bridge today. So, whatever update it was, it's ok now. Opening the clover chest just leads to other quests. After opening the chest, you'll get part of scroll, go speak to that old man in that area (that one you'll pass on the way out). He'll send you to other NPC.

If you revisit the Historian, with the document, his dialogue is updated and he will reveal the secret door on the map.

I believe you need to speak the elder first, with the half of the clover scroll you got out of the walnut chest in your inventory. That kicks off the series of fetch quests that get the passage not only shown on map, but unlocked.

Even if you find the door first, it will be locked unless you do the quest chain.

That's unfortunate. I can't find the scroll anywhere, so I'm assuming it got destroyed back when players were able to pillage private bases.

Oh wow... not... sure... how you fix that problem.

Have you looked inside the walnut chest again? Hopefully the devs have got a solution for this.

IIRC, the quest chain works like this:

1. Talk to the elder, IIRC the dialogue option did not appear until I had the torn scroll in my inventory.
2. He tells you to go talk to historian in the basement crypt of the ruined church.
3. The historian says he could translate, but he traded a book to the merchant. Mine a stack of pyrite before you leave the chapel.
4. The merchant will trade the book back for pyrite.
5. Bring the book back to the historian, he translate everything, and the location of the door to the Forbidden Monuments is shown on map, and unlocked.

The only thing I can suggest is try each step. Talk to the elder, see if he has the dialogue option, then try talking to the historian. Find the cave with door at the base of the broken bridge, see if it will open.

I tried opening the walnut chest again, but I don't remember if we needed a specific key or what, so it said I can't force it with my empty inventory. I talked to the elder and said I opened it, and he said to bring him the scroll inside, so the game acknowledges that I did open it, but it's also closed, so I may need to find the key again if I can remember where it dropped. I think it was that beetle boss bottom right of screen.

I got another key and scroll by killing the King Stag Beetle, opening the chest (3rd time now I think) and the Elder sent me to the Historian to get back a tome from the Merchant. So I should be on my way to continue the quest now. Thank you. :)
