In the latest entry from indie studio Hello Games, the last bonfire, the player character Ember is tasked with finding and helping lost souls called forlorn. Each area of the map contains a number of these beautiful, statue-like strangers, waiting for the player to wake them up by solving their puzzles. Once an Abandon has been released, they can go to the nearest campfire before being instructed.
The Ultimate Campfire has three main areas: Forest, Swamp, and Cave. Ember must free a certain number of loners before proceeding to the next location in the game. While finding each one is not necessary to unlock new parts of the game, saving all 21 will unlock the “Les Behind” trophy.
Similar to many of the mind-shaping temples in Breath of the Wild, each Desolation has its own puzzles to complete, but getting to them also requires solving some math problems. Ember may need to explore more parts of a certain area to determine how to get to Desolation. It may take some items to get there or even help from nearby NPCs.
Where to find all the desolate forests in The Last Campfire
Ember’s first puzzle the last bonfire Like a tutorial, show the player the basic mechanics of that game element. Ember encounters a blue flame in the cage, which will lead them to the first campfire after solving the loner’s puzzle. This was the first of seven completely deserted areas in the forest area. If Ember asks the bonfire ghosts to help find the next person, they will guide the player to look back and see an abandoned man on a grassy cliff.
Go down the steps to the right of the campfire, then take the next stairs into a new area with a pond. Follow the path south, turn left and take Ember back to the campfire. Climb the grassy cliffs, interact with Lonely, and take on the Forsaken puzzle. Climb down from there and continue east, around the pond and through an archway.
This new area will feature a frog statue on a small island. Go up to the top rock and get the second frog statue. Place it on another island opposite the first one to enter the cave entrance with the third deserted island and its “crowded” puzzle. Leave the cave and climb south, then head east up some grassy footholds to the fourth Badlands and its “Lonely Road” puzzle.
Return in the same way as the entrance. Follow the ramp and head west, back to the pond area. And. . .interaction the last campfireFisherman for the puzzle “Sad souls”. This does not unlock the Forsaken, but requires the help of an Angling for access at a later date. After talking to the fisherman, go right and interact with a tree, turning it into a bridge. Go through it and climb back to the path.
Head west towards the campfire. Large water lilies will now reveal a large frog when crossing the pond. Talk to it before setting a campfire and find it hungry. This time, go down the stairs to the left of the fire. There is a locked door in this new area and a crow nearby with a key. Approach the crow and try to get the key. The crow will fly away, releasing it into a nearby lake.
A ramp is on the side of the locked wilderness, and to the left of the ramp is a small fire. Interact with fire to get torches, then go uphill and turn right to burn thorn branches hidden at the cave entrance. Enter the cave and interact with the skeleton to get the broken net; This is required to get the key. Take the path to the left from the skeleton, interact with the fifth orphan and solve “fragile fire” exist The last campfire.
After returning to the cave, heading east will bring Ember back to the campfire. Go back to the pond and talk to the fisherman and he will fix the broken net. Return to the locked gate area and continue west until you find the small pool. Interact with the reed to get the net out of the portal key.
Before heading back to the gate, head south from the small fire and follow the path to some water lilies. Go through them to an area with worms and two frog statues. Use the last bonfire Cover the hole in the ground with the statue before catching the worm, you’ll need it later to get to a desolate place. Climb the ledge, go east and interact with a tree to turn it into a bridge. Go through it and go back to the locked gate. Use the key to open it and unlock the desolate interior by solving the “Flood” puzzle.
Exit east and return to the pond. Talk to the frog and give it the worm. It will use the previous lever to get you inside the cave. Interact with the seventh and final Forlorn to solve the “Unhindered” and free it. Go back to the cave, turn right, go uphill and continue out of the cave to the east. Return to the campfire area and talk to the guardian ghost who will open the door for the sequel the last campfire.
