Forest of Wandering

The «Forest of Wandering», also known as the «Lost Forest» or the «Forest of Disorientation», is a random transfer field dungeon (sub-dungeon) on the 35th Floor of Aincrad. The dungeon is a vast forest located in the north of the 35th Floor and, like all field dungeons, is a popular target for average players, as the Clearers only take the time to clear the Labyrinth areas of each Floor. As the name implies, the forest is a place where it is easy to get lost. Aside from the fact that the huge forest is full of large towering trees, which divide the forest into areas like a chess board, one minute after a player sets foot in the forest area, the player will be transferred to a random area in the forest and Teleportation Crystals used within the Forest only transport the player to another area in the Forest, instead of to a town. To exit the Forest, the player must go though each area in the Forest within a minute each. An expensive map, which checks areas the current area is linked player's current location is linked to can be bought from a shop in living area of the Floor. There is a giant curved fir tree, which is the spawn point of the Christmas event boss «Nicholas The Renegade», in a particular corner of the Forest.

On the night between Christmas Eve and Christmas, Kirito comes to the Forest to look for the Christmas event flag boss, «Nicholas The Renegade», near a giant fir tree in a particular corner of the Forest, where he believes that the Boss will appear. Kirito is followed by Klein and the Fuurinkazan, who are followed by members of the Divine Dragon Alliance, into the Forest. While Fuurinkazan hold off the DDA members, Kirito confronts the Boss and is barely able to defeat it off-screen.

One day, Silica was fighting in this field dungeon with a party of six since morning, but, nearing the end of the day, when they were running low on potions and were returning to the city, she got into an argument with Rosalia, a spear user of the party, after which, she decided to leave the party and head out of the forest on her own. Unfortunately, only the leader of the party had the Map, so Silica ended up getting lost in the forest and encountered numerous monsters while wandering the forest, using up both her healing potion and crystal supplies. she eventually encountered 3 Drunken Apes, which killed her familiar, Pina and would have done the same with Silica, if Kirito hadn't saved her. Eventually, they both use Kirito's Map to safely leave the Forest.
