You’ll then find yourself in a small area of Selphia Plain East with a huge boulder in the center.

You’ll need to reach the southern exit, but follow the path on the left side of the boulder to get there. You’ll be able to make it to the southern exit through that path.

Next up is another small area in Selphia Plain East.

There is a path leading to the west, but initially this will be blocked by trees. When you get to the arc in the story that instructs you to find the Sechs hideout, the trees will be cleared by Vishnal once you arrive in this area.

You’ll then find yourself on the west end of Cerezo Bridge. You may notice that the trees in this area have changed color, indicating that the season here is actually spring.

Go ahead and head west again.

You’ll then arrive at Sercerezo Hill.

This is an area in the game where it’s always spring, which explains the cherry blossom trees in bloom. In this particular area of Sercerezo Hill, you’ll find a journal that you can teleport to using the airship.

But to get to Idra Cave from here, you need to head south.

Next you’ll find yourself in a stretch called Daily Road, where a row of trees are blocking the bottom half of the area.

Head for the western side of the area, then go through the path towards the south.

Tip: There is a small boulder directly by the southern exit, so look for that boulder if you need a guide on where to go (pictured below).
