The Forest Cavern is an area accessible from the lime green stone in Nazca Valley.

Map of the Forest Cavern.

Features

As the name describes, this area is a sprawling, verdant cavern filled with different kinds of vegetation, as well as rivers bridged with logs.

Populating the area are Plant Girls standing in place, as well as Shadow Molds lurking at every corner. They will take Urotsuki to an isolated section of Wounded Turtle World if touched. The Shadow Molds can be fended off by using the Fairy effect, and can also be stopped in their tracks with the Crossing, or evaded from with the Invisible effect. As you explore the area, you can see Plant Girls being feasted on by groups of Shadow Molds in gruesome manners.

In the northeastern section of this area, there is a tank inside an isolated section, and in the center-north section, you can find a cave that leads to the Moth Queen's lair, with spiders serving as her guards. Chainsawing her will mobilize these spiders, leading them to chase Urotsuki, sending her to an isolated section of Floating Brain World if touched. Using the Crossing or Invisible effects won't help in this case; the spiders will react by rushing onto Urotsuki at high speeds, and if you manage to exit the lair at this state, these spiders will fill the area, and all the Plant Girls would also be killed.

Spoilers:

[Show/Hide]

If you somehow manage to navigate your way back to the entrance section upon chainsawing the Moth Queen, a red-haired Plant Girl, known as Parasitism Girl, can be found there, and interacting with her will take you to the Stellar Palace, provided that you haven't used the Crossing or Invisible effects prior, which would give her an angry look as she averts Urotsuki, which would prevent entry to the area.

Using debug methods will rouse the fury of the spiders, where switching the player speed will make the spiders rush at Urotsuki, and walking through walls will make these spiders do the same. Playing in Debug Mode in itself will also deny access to Stellar Palace, with the Parasitism Girl avoiding Urotsuki's sight with the same angry look on her face.

The Stellar Palace itself consists of a group of corridors in which the entrance is locked, disallowing return to the Forest Cavern, where you can find portraits of a crowned whale with the face censored, and passages to the exterior and the balcony. Nothing much can be done here, though a hidden room can be found by using the Penguin effect to bypass the door in one of the rooms featuring the crowned whale portraits. From here, a hallway featuring several, smaller shark portraits can be found that leads to a room with an uncensored crowned whale portrait. A somber, sentimental guitar melody can be heard playing in this room.

Spoilers end here.
