According to Arapandu, it is a place where one may enter dreams.[1] Like Vanarana, it has both a real and a dream version, and players can switch between the two by playing the Rhythm of the Great Dream with the Vintage Lyre at a Silapna. Note that certain enemies will not appear in the dream version. |
Memory of Stone (Monument) | The Memory of Stone is a memorial plaque set up by the Aranara for Nara Varuna to leave a visible memory for them that shows that Vana and the Aranara never forget their adventures with the Aranara.[2] It is cleaned up by the Traveler in Memory of Stone. |
The Rain's End | The Rain's End is unlocked during the Varuna Gatha World Quest Series, and is where the player first gains access to the Varuna Contraption. |
