Find a dungeon by region and name
Official material describes the game as having 25 dungeons. This locator separates 24 overworld names, the introductory dungeon and one secret-area name: 26 names across those categories. Do not confuse that reference list with the story’s counting convention or a mandatory route.

Four regions, eight spells
Each region’s Skill Shrine supplies its pair of spells. You do not freely carry every region’s puzzle tools into every other region. Match the current pair to the target, obstacle or platform in front of you.
| Region | Spells | Puzzle uses |
|---|---|---|
| Doberkogel | Wrecking Ball / Ball and Chain | Place, roll and detonate the ball; pull targets with the chain. Inspect rocks, ledges and minecart mechanisms. |
| Hinterwald | Whirlwind / Wind Projectile | Carry Luisa or objects in wind, turn targets and deliver explosive fruit to goo eyes. |
| Kolmstein | Hover / Light Ray | Ride rails and ramps on the board; shoot eye targets and drop ceiling icicles. |
| Brünnelsumpf | Jelly Block / Plasma Ball | Make steps, stop water or immobilize moving parts. Send plasma through pipes. |
Regional bosses: create an opening before attacking
Open solution / late-game details
Use the region’s puzzle spells to expose the target instead of repeatedly striking armor. Reassess the mechanism when a phase changes.
| Boss | Create the opening | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Tatzelwurm | Chain the open mouth, pull it down and detonate Wrecking Ball at the head. | After the armor breaks, avoid dives and charges and attack the exposed body. Adds can help replenish MP. |
| Windsbraut | Hit the white wing targets with explosive fruit. | Attack during the grounded opening; use the forest’s fruit and wind tools. |
| Basilisk | Shoot approaching eyes while riding; target its eyes when it charges its beam after landing. | Avoid the landing attack and strike with the sword during the knockdown. |
| Wassermann | Block the planted arm with Jelly Block, then send plasma into the fish mouth on its back. | Later, stop a foot to make it kneel. Avoid water attacks and collect MP pickups. |
Questions and answers
Is Familiarity 100 required for Everchanging Grove?
We do not treat that threshold as established. Familiarity 200 is the reference for yellow butterfly guidance. Passage below that value has not been verified here, and the interior door puzzle is separate.
