Vault of Searching

The Vault of Searching is the first Vault the Apprentice finds after the Treeheart Chamber. Located in the mountains near the Meadow Quarters, the Vault is at first covered in vines of The Withering, until the Apprentice has spoken with Elderkin in the Treeheart Chamber and returned the first Song Fragment to its proper location.

The Vault is composed of several large chambers joined by winding corridors. Withering vines are found throughout, blocking some paths and hiding a few secrets. Each chamber has a large sliding-block Puzzle which must be solved before the Apprentice can proceed. There are a number of small Chests, breakable pottery and even an Everkid hiding amongst the many passages leading to the Song Fragment of Awareness (and many are down redundant paths, so doubling-back may be necessary to collect all the loot).

Once the Apprentice opens the final chamber, a shortcut opens, making exit from the Vault a straight shot from the Fragment chamber.

As with all Vaults, time does not pass while inside this Vault, so the Apprentice can take their time solving its Puzzles. This particular Vault, while a tad confusing with its multiple passages, does not have any difficult platforming challenges, dangerous water areas, or other concerning hazards.
