Murasaki Forest

The Murasaki Forest is a forest in Mother 3 first accessable during Chapter 4. It is the eastmost of the two major forests found on the Nowhere Islands, the other being Sunshine Forest to the west.

Many of the Pigmask Army's operations take place in the forest, such as the Clayman Factory and Chimera Laboratory. A ropeway leading to Club Titiboo is located here, and to the east is the Mole Cricket Hole, Caeribe Falls and Unknown Valley. The forest is also the location of one of the Seven Needles, which is guarded by Doria.

Overview
Murasaki Forest is accessed from either the railway or the highway. The forest consists of hills and trees with purple colored leaves. A factory where clay used to create Claymen are excavated was built near the railway. The Chimera Lab was built in the westernmost part of the forest. East of it is the ropeway leading Club Titiboo is found, and past that Caeribe Falls. A lake is present between Chimera Lab and Club Titiboo ropeway. North of the lake is a door which can only be opened with the Osohe Dance, past the door is Doria's house where one of the Seven Needles can be found.

The Unknown Valley is located behind Caeribe Falls. There are many holes in the ground here that lead to an underground cavern, all eventually leading to the same exit except for the one furthest southwest, where Duster hid the Egg of Light in a Clayman. The pathway eventually loops around Thunder Tower and reaches the Clayman Factory near the highway.

When first encountered in Chapter 4, the enemies here pose a significant threat to Lucas and Boney due to a significant level advantage and lack of offensive or supporting PSI. By chapter 5, the addition of Duster and Kumatora to the party makes them much more manageable, though they are still more difficult and of higher level than the enemies on the Highway. By Chapter 7, they are entirely beatable with just Lucas and Boney, and are inferior in level to new enemies like the Ten-Yeti and Carefree Jellyfish. Come Chapter 8 and they are vastly overshadowed by enemies like the Rhinocerocket Mark II and Return of Octobot, some of whom have weaker relatives encountered on the Highway.

History
In Chapter 4 Lucas and Boney must visit the forest to visit Club Titiboo and find out about the mystery of the bassist Lucky, who resembles Duster. After working at the Factory in order to earn tickets, they explore the club to find out if Lucky really is Duster. After convincing he is in fact Duster, they set out to find where the Egg of Light was hidden.

In Chapter 5 Lucas's party searches the Unknown Valley in order to find the Egg. Upon reaching the broken Clayman where the egg was hidden, a lightning bolt strikes the Clayman and activates it, forcing the party to chase it to the Clayman Factory in order to obtain the Egg from it.

In Chapter 7 Lucas and Boney visit the Chimera Laboratory to rescue Salsa. After rescuing Salsa from the Chimera Laboratory, Salsa opens the door to Doria's home by using the Osohe Dance. There, they find one of the Seven Needles hidden under a pond. Kumatora and Doria greet them, and Kumatora is revealed to have fallen into one of the ponds after the events of Chapter 5, and Doria, who had found her, allowed her to stay. Unable to access the Needle, Lucas is forced to use one of three specialized chimeras from Dr. Andonuts to remove the pond water. After removing the water, Lucas pulls the Needle, and Doria gives Lucas a Razor and Lipstick in remembrance before disappearing. Upon exiting, Lucas's party is interrupted by The Squeekz, who, after defeated, returns to his wife and seven children at the highway. Afterwords, the Mole Cricket from the Prologue challenges Lucas to a rematch and leads his party to the Mole Cricket Hole.
