Description
HEARTWOOD
Step into the Wandering Woods and seek your fortune. Are you after golden treasures, ancient tablets, tomes of power, or sacred heartwood? Make it deep enough into the woods, and the choice is yours. But watch out! A witch has taken up residence in the Wandering Woods and will unleash the full wrath of the forest against you.

Heartwood is a repeatable adventure mod that features a level structure similar to the changing temple of Mummy Dust. It is bound together by an overarching narrative that plays out in a steady flow of dialog, with more options and more lore unlocking as you visit the forest again and again to learn the secrets of the witch and the woodcutter living on the edge of the woods.

Who knows? You might even find love! Heartwood features a romanceable character- a first for Horizon’s Gate!

The challenges and rewards of Heartwood are suited towards mid to end-game parties. Enter the Wandering Woods between Redens and Condra, at 83 N, 26 E.


Features:
  • All New Enemies
  • New Enemy Variants
  • New Repeatable Adventure Location (5 battles in a full run)
  • New Crafting Material: Heartwood (life focused, anti-undead)
  • New Socketed Treasure (fill with gems to increase value)
  • New Power Ups (tomes with a permanent stat boost)
  • New Puzzles
  • New Secret Dungeon
  • New Romanceable Character


MOD LOAD ORDER: Place this mod above Class Academy if you want to be able to craft heartwood scythes.

It might not show up if you haven’t flirted with Dane up to that point. Forgive me, it’s been a long time since I wrote that dialog.

Thanks for the response! Hmm, for some reason I never got that dialog when fighting the witch in Mistwell, unless there is more than one and I’m just missing them? (it was in the room that looks like a lab with a bed with the switch to open the gate)

Thank you, projectedeny. I'm glad you're enjoying it. If you want to truly complete Dane's storyline, the only way to do so is to fall in love with him and have him love you as well. Basically, you have to complete his romance for the story of Heartwood to conclude. If you told the witch's echo in Mistwell that you love Dane, you should be able to progress the story. If not, then the cycle cannot end.

Loving this mod. I have a question for those who completed this mod, because I’m stuck. I have gotten to Mistwell and went to the basement floor to defeat the witch specter. What else am I supposed to do here? I went back to the woods and fought the Witch multiple times, but the dialog doesn’t change. . Thanks!

It should be fixed now, in this mod and where the scepter can show up as a reward in Jade Helix.

The Golden Scepter with one gem and the fully restored version sell for the same amount.

Aw man, I wanted to see how it played out. I'm guessing it's possible to lock yourself out of that. Thanks anyway man, love the mod.

The way I wrote the story for this mod, the only way to really reach the end is to fall in love with Dane, and get him to return your feelings . If that doesn’t fit with your character or goals, don’t worry. You’ll miss a little unique loot, but not much. And this loot can actually be randomly earned in Jade Helix: Dispel Triggers .

Hey! I'm really enjoyin' this mod in particular, but I've hit a wall of sorts. I can't seem to reach a resolution of any kind; I've found Mistwell and I'm sure it's got something to do with Dane, but no matter how much I chat him up, it's seemingly going nowhere.

Eventually, yes! Complete the quest and you can.
