Hey ! For the forest of the dead i think you play on an older version of the game, i have disable the point on the map from the forest, you need to go on the way of the big brige then you can acces to the forest of the dead. You need to try to dodge some spell if you don't went to spend statistical point in vitality ;). And the game gonna be harder when i put new spell for the enemy.
