The Lacuna forest has been completely consumed by the foliage and nature on Triton, and the Hivemind is taking over!

This is the Lacuna forest, a mostly exterior region with some vast open spaces to explore and traverse. This region is large and very densely packed with plants and flora and has a lot of rocky and covered areas.

This is where most of the technological operations happened on Triton before the brutal attack and all of the remnants are still here! This was a secondary laboratory and field clinic as well as an advanced technology operation.

There was also some mining done here in the forest, and a lot of experimentation on the flora. A small research lab exists here that studies the plants.

Apart from the outside areas, it does also have some large open interiors and cave like areas that prisoners traversed and operations took place in.

This region introduces some new foliage and areas to the game that are vastly unique to the areas that came before. Most of the outside areas are completely covered.

In the forest you'll find a lot of interesting locations and areas with age old secrets to be told. The nature here is wild and free and unlike anything else. Large mushrooms and bushes cover the ground while giant tree black out the skies. Stay on your toes here, not even the plants are friendly!

The enemies here are also numerous and much of the combat will happen in tighter areas covered by foliage. The enemies are stronger here than before as the Hivemind is closer.

Be carefull when exploring to not run out of oxygen or other vitals as the shops here are few and far between, as this is a much bigger area with fewer manmade areas than before! There are also fewer upgrade stations and clone pods here. Be smart with your supplies as survival will be harder here!

This level is around two hours to complete but can be more if you search for all the PDA's and secrets to be found!

This level will receive some more improvements in the future, but for now, it is fully functional and ready to be explored!

Happy hunting, Operator!
