The Forest Prayer Sanctuary is a building in Mother 3 between the Cross Road and the Sunshine Forest. It contains a small shrine where villagers from Tazmily offer prayers. Flint is required to visit and offer a prayer in Chapter 1, and it is here that the game first requests the player's name.
The symbol on the shrine resembles a white dragon and a black dragon in a yin-yang formation, which is possibly related to the light or dark nature of the Dark Dragon depending on the heart of the one who pulls its Needles.
In the Mother 3 fan translation
Hard mode
In the Mother 3 fan translation, if the player names themselves "HARD MODE" at either time in the game, the difficulty of enemies will increase, including a raise in enemy stats, lower experience gained upon winning, etc. If done in Chapter 1, it can be reset in Chapter 4 if the player enters any other name when speaking to Mr. Brown. To get a message informing the player how to access hard mode, all enemies must be recorded in the Battle Memory before speaking to the final Save Frog in the game. The enemy's alternate sprites do not need to be recorded, however. Despite this, hard mode can be accessed even without seeing this message.
