Mountain Path

Mountain Path Map Terrain

The Mountain Path is the first area that can be explored. It consists of mostly grassy areas and is home to the Keeper's Trail, demarked by a series of obelisks which convey a poem as it is traversed.

It is connected to the Keepers' Stronghold in the east, the Blue Caves below, and the Snowy Peaks in the west.

Storyline

The player begins their Keeper Journey here, in the Mountain Path on the Keeper's Trail. Your Spectral Familiar explains that you must tame other Monsters in order to survive in the Monster Sanctuary.

You progress onward and capture yourself a Blob - your very first friend - by hatching it from an egg.

After traveling through the Keeper's Trail, you eventually find your way to Old Buran. He lives out here to help new Keepers in their travels. To make sure you're good enough to visit the Keepers' Stronghold, he challenges you to defeat some Blobs he's trained. Note that this battle is not a Keeper Duel but instead a regular wild battle. After this, he teaches you about Champion Monsters and forces you to fight your very first one - the Steam Golem.

Once you defeat the Steam Golem, you earn a new rank - Keeper Aspirant and are told to head off to the Keepers' Stronghold, next. He also tells you that these mysterious "Champion Monsters" have been becoming more prevalent in the Monster Sanctuary lately, but no one is quite sure of the cause.

Before you leave, Old Buran tells you of another Champion residing in the Mountain Path and gives you a Mountain Path Key required to face off against a Monk Champion.

After stumbling upon the Blob Statues in Magma Chamber, your Spectral Familiar suggests that Old Buran might know the secrets behind these statues.

Obelisk Poem

Young Keeper,
'tis the Keepers' Trail's beginning,
for all of man, beast and Sanctuary
has beginning.

Man prospered through generations,
Founded cities and nations,
Connected by dirt and wheel
And later by steam and steel.

Man knew of those who wait
In the woods and caverns beyond,
Yet for the treasures within he longed,
For the greed of kings was great.

Man plunged into deepest abyss,
Foraged, attacked, and slew.
These endeavors were without solace,
The cost on humanity nobody knew.

But then came the four,
Free from greed or any other sin,
Who listened to the voice within,
Struck a wound to the realm's core.

From this wound, rivers flowed
And mountains grew mighty and cold.
'Tis the only place for any creature
That lives in peace with its nature.
