Welcome to the Into Indie Games walkthrough for Dungeons of Hinterberg. In this part of Dungeons of Hinterberg walkthrough, we explore The Ancient Tree in Hinterwald.
For more information on Dungeons of Hinterberg beyond this walkthrough, check out the official website.
Day 5: Morning
Talk to Theresa about the Onion Queen competition. She will start the Quest: Into the Woods. Head to Hinterwald to start the dungeon Ancient Tree.
Day 5: Noon
Head up the hill and speak to the Monster Club to give them more Monster Parts. Speak to Alex and head to the Skill Shrine.

Pick up the magic spells Whirlwind and Wind projectile to complete the Quest: Into the Woods. Head to the left from the Skill Shrine and see a path closed off by thorns (You will also see a way marker). Use whirlwind to ride on top of the wind and cross the thorns.

Next hit the spinning target with your ranged spell to extend a bridge and cross over. Take out the enemies here and then move up the stairs. Move to the left and use Whirlwind to cross the thorns to pick up the chest on top of the platform. There are Health Potions inside.

Pick up all the random loot on the forest floor – watch out for the thorns and climb the tree. It’s a pretty straightforward climb till you reach another spinning bullseye.

Spin it and use the path that opens up, turn right and up, and then spin it again to open another path. On top of the tree, you will discover the entrance to the Dungeon: Ancient Tree.
Dungeon: Ancient Tree
Follow the path and once your perspective changes for the second time go to the right for a chest containing a Charm.

Then head left and climb up a ladder. Keep going till you reach an open area and spinning target, spin it and get on the bridge and then spin it again to pick up the loot.

The next path has stairs you cant access. So spin the next set of targets and head to the rock formation behind the stairs. And once on the other side, hit the spinning targets again to turn the stairs towards you.

Once on top of the stairs hit the same target again to spin you around to access the chest.

Spin the stairs back around and get on the second platform and use the first spinning target to spin the platform you are on to cross to the right.

Once you cross over you will be attacked. Kill the enemies and go through and your perspective will shift again. Go to the right and up the ramp. Hit the target to drop a platform down. Climb the ladder on the right to pick up a health potion. Now get on the platform that just dropped earlier and hit the target again to access the climbable ledges here.

Climb up and you will come into a cave. Your path will be blocked off by a goop structure with a eye on top. Pick up the bomb seeds from the strange plant next to you with your ranged attack and aim it at the eye to destroy the goop. Do this for the far off one as well.

Climb up the stairs and you will come across another set of obstacles. First hit the spinning target to rotate the bridge towards you and open up a path. Get to the other side and pick up the loot. Get on the bridge again and then hit the target again. Both bridges should line up now. Cross over to the other bridge and hit the spinning target again. This will allow you access to the bomb plant. Pick up a bomb and clear the goop.

Clear the goop on the left to access a chest containing Resonant Sword 2. Get on the bridges and spin them together again.

Follow the path out of the room and you will come across another goop with eyes on a platform. Hit the spinning target on the far end to raise the goop to the top and go back to where the bomb plant is. Pick up a bomb and look up and you can see the eye – well kind of. Just trust your aim and throw the bomb.

Get back on the platform you just cleared and head up to find a Waystone. In the next side-scrolling area, use a bomb to clear the path. In the next area, use whirlwind to navigate over the thorns and eventually you will come to a climbable wall. Climb up and move to the left. You will see the path is blocked with eye goop and the bomb tree is covered with thorns. Use whirlwind to pick up the bombs (don’t pick up yourself before picking up the bombs) and bring them to the eye and clear the goop up.

Exit the room and your perspective will shift again so move forward till you reach this obstacle below.

Drop a whirlwind through the gap and pick up the bombs and drop them infront of the eye to clear a path.

In the next area, there is a spinning bridge, a blocked eye goop, and a bomb plant behind those chicken wire fences that the whirlwind can move through. Use Whirlwind to go through the fence and pick up the bombs from the bomb tree. Move the bombs on the bridge and dissolve the whirlwind and immediately hit the targets to move the bridge and bombs infront of the eye to clear the path.

Get on the bridge and spin it again to exit the room and find the next waypoint. Go up the bridge, kill the enemies and pick up 1000 HBs from the red chest. Climb up the ladder and prepare for a boss fight.

The fight isn’t difficult – particularly if you have the requisite stats to use Resonant Sword 2.0. Watch for the poison AoE attacks from the Drud and the trees and manage the adds and it is pretty simple. Pick up the armor from the chest and exit the dungeon.
Day 5: Evening
Go to the Campfire to speak with Alex and Travis. This seems like the most efficient way today to spend the evening – providing increases to all social stats.

Day 5: Night
Finish the night by going to bed.
