Walkthrough & Notes

Acorns are found throughout Eastern Fangorn. Running through planting spots is sufficient to plant the acorns. If you run (or ride) through the rings shown on the big map (M), you will trigger a "green spiral" as you place the acorn. [43.4S, 72.1W] [43.7S, 72.6W] [43.3S, 72.9W] [42.9S, 72.9W] [42.9S, 73.5W] [42.9S, 73.6W] [43.3S, 74.7W] If the forest floor is clear, a light white box will be visible (it usually is not). (Turning Frill Density way down or off helps with seeing these.) When the acorn is planted 3 Huorns will appear around the site.
