Essential Tips for Yak T'el
- Do Not Jump: You cannot jump from the upper forest to the lower forest until you unlock flying. The fall will be blocked by invisible walls or result in death without progress.
- Cenotes: Some currents are located near the "cenotes" (large sinkholes). Check your map carefully to ensure you are on the correct elevation level.
Embarking on this quest is an invitation to explore the dual nature of Tural's forests. From the sunlit canopy of the Xbr'aal to the shadowed depths of the Mamool Ja, every discovery brings you closer to mastering the skies.
