TheMurasaki Forest is a forest inMother 3 first accessable duringChapter 4. It is the eastmost of the two major forests found on theNowhere Islands, the other beingSunshine Forest to the west.

Many of thePigmask Army's operations take place in the forest, such as theClayman Factory andChimera Laboratory. Aropeway leading toClub Titiboo is located here, and to the east is theMole Cricket Hole, Caeribe Falls andUnknown Valley. The forest is also the location of one of theSeven Needles, which is guarded byDoria.

Overview

Murasaki Forest is accessed from either therailway or thehighway. The forest consists of hills and trees with purple colored leaves. Afactory where clay used to createClaymen are excavated was built near the railway. TheChimera Lab was built in the westernmost part of the forest. East of it is the ropeway leading Club Titiboo is found, and past that Caeribe Falls. A lake is present between Chimera Lab and Club Titiboo ropeway. North of the lake is a door which can only be opened with theOsohe Dance, past the door is Doria's house where one of the Seven Needles can be found.

TheUnknown Valley is located behind Caeribe Falls. There are many holes in the ground here that lead to an underground cavern, all eventually leading to the same exit except for the one furthest southwest, whereDuster hid theEgg of Light in aClayman. The pathway eventually loops aroundThunder Tower and reaches theClayman Factory near the highway.

When first encountered in Chapter 4, the enemies here pose a significant threat to Lucas and Boney due to a significant level advantage and lack of offensive or supporting PSI. By chapter 5, the addition of Duster and Kumatora to the party makes them much more manageable, though they are still more difficult and of higher level than the enemies on theHighway. By Chapter 7, they are entirely beatable with just Lucas and Boney, and are inferior in level to new enemies like theTen-Yeti andCarefree Jellyfish. Come Chapter 8 and they are vastly overshadowed by enemies like theRhinocerocket Mark II andReturn of Octobot, some of whom have weaker relatives encountered on the Highway.

History

InChapter 4Lucas andBoney must visit the forest to visit Club Titiboo and find out about the mystery of the bassist Lucky, who resembles Duster. After working at the Factory in order to earn tickets, they explore the club to find out if Lucky really is Duster. After convincing he is in fact Duster, they set out to find where the Egg of Light was hidden.

InChapter 5 Lucas's party searches the Unknown Valley in order to find the Egg. Upon reaching the broken Clayman where the egg was hidden, a lightning bolt strikes the Clayman and activates it, forcing the party to chase it to the Clayman Factory in order to obtain the Egg from it.

InChapter 7 Lucas and Boney visit the Chimera Laboratory to rescueSalsa. After rescuing Salsa from the Chimera Laboratory, Salsa opens the door to Doria's home by using the Osohe Dance. There, they find one of theSeven Needles hidden under a pond.Kumatora and Doria greet them, and Kumatora is revealed to have fallen into one of the ponds after the events of Chapter 5, and Doria, who had found her, allowed her to stay. Unable to access the Needle, Lucas is forced to use one ofthreespecializedchimeras fromDr. Andonuts to remove the pond water. After removing the water, Lucas pulls the Needle, and Doria gives Lucas aRazor and Lipstick in remembrance before disappearing. Upon exiting, Lucas's party is interrupted byThe Squeekz, who, after defeated, returns to his wife and seven children at thehighway. Afterwords, theMole Cricket from thePrologue challenges Lucas to a rematch and leads his party to the Mole Cricket Hole.
