Every enemy on this list except for Werewolves can only be found in the Cursed Forest.

We recommendheading out of your castle prior to 8 pm andtraveling on a horseto Gracefall Village.

Werewolves can also befound wandering in the stretch of land south of GracefallVillage.

Typically, this will look like a single villager walking.

Once night falls, they will transform.

When 8 pm hits, you should be near the entrance of Gracefall Village.

Additionally, be cautious!

Mosquitoes, Cursed animals, and Night Lurkers are fairly common in this area.

We suggest doing aquick loop on the path that goes through the central portion of the region.

If you aren’t confident in your combat skills, you might stick to farming at Gracefall Village.

you could face this boss pretty early on, so unlocking and building the Tannery should be simple.

At this point, you should probably already have this piece of equipment unlocked.
