AFK Arena Secrets of the Forest Guide

The Peaks of Time campaign in AFK Arena brings tons of adventures and one such level you do wonder how to bypass is the Secret of the Forest. This is the third stage in the “campaign”, which once completed rewards players the Dura’s Artifact. This “level” is not easy, but it’s worth noting. The vines that block some areas of the chests when you defeat an enemy camp make it quite difficult.
These thorns will not be an obstruction for most chests. If you don’t take the correct steps or follow a certain order of battle, the vines will quickly grow and block your path, making it impossible to find the main treasure. This guide will show you how to get to the final chest, as well as the Dura’s artifact and all the rewards. Here’s the guide to the Secrets of the Forest, AFK Arena.
AFK Arena Secrets of the Forest Guide
Lilith Games released the 1.27 patch for AFK Arena. They adjusted enemy formations within the Peaks of Time campaign, and also removed the prerequisites that required players to discover a secret passageway in the Secrets of the Forest adventures. We’ll show you how we beat this level. Let’s get going.
To inspect the heroes, click on the Mercenary Encampment once you have started the Secrets of the Forest adventure.

Now, defeat your enemies in the first camping that’s done, a vine will begin to grow and block your path. You’ll then be asked to choose from three different relics. Choose the one that is most beneficial to Wilders.

Next, defeat your enemy’s camp to select a relic from the list (it’s the one right before the mercenary camps) Click on the mercenary campsite to claim your wilder hero.

Click on the enemy camp and send them to kingdom comes. Follow that path to defeat the next camp. You will be rewarded with the highest score and you can defeat the next camp.

Follow the path straight until you reach the second mercenary base. You can claim a Wilder hero here. Make sure that he/she’s different from the previous one.

Once you have defeated the enemy camp, return to the first mercenary base and beat it. Then, follow the path to defeat the next one.

Continue to that area, and you’ll see another enemy camp. You can ignore it and continue on the downwards path. Click on the shrine to life to defeat your enemies.

You should now clear the camp that was previously neglected. Follow the path and then choose a relic.

You won’t have to block the chest by the vine this time. Simply make your way into the chest and claim the Dura’s Tranquility necklace.

We recommend that you fight low- to high-level enemies. Walk past the enemy camp and take the reward in the chest above. Turn your back on the enemy camp at the top and return to the shrine of the living.

A message will appear stating that you have succeeded in resurrecting a random hero. Follow that path backward to reach the first mercenary base. You will now be able to defeat the enemy in that area and receive your rewards.

You can also defeat the one below it and follow that path. You would see another enemy camp. You can send its occupant to the other side and continue your journey.

You’ll now arrive at the next enemy base. They’re now two. You can ignore the one in front of you, and defeat the one ahead. Now, collect your rewards and defeat that camp you didn’t know about.

Navigate down to claim your reward. You can return all the way up to the top to defeat the enemy camp. You will be rewarded and you can return to the first mercenary base.

You can ignore the ancient text below you, defeat the camp ahead, and then climb back up (as in pic 1). You can collect the rewards and defeat the enemy camp.

Once you have completed the task, go past it and collect your rewards. Finally, defeat the enemy camp ahead. Go into the area to grab your rewards.

Go back to the 1st Mercenary Camp and click the ancient tome that we have ignored. You can defeat the occupants of enemy camps by simply clicking on the ancient tome.

Claim the rewards and follow the trail to the next path. Move up to the camp of the enemy to collect the next reward.

Beat the inhabitants to get all the rewards. That’s all. Now you have completed the forest adventure secret. You should now unlock the next level, “Rest in Peace”.
