- "A secret path only the mistress knows. It leads straight to the heart of the forest. Out here, the snow never melts. It covers landmarks, and makes every direction look much like the other. The herb-of-grace grows somewhere deep in the forest. But be wary. Many dangerous fiends lurk within. That is why Susanna keeps the knowledge of this path a secret." —Alaic, showing H'aanit the trail through the Whitewood
The Whitewood is a dungeon in Octopath Traveler and the dungeon of H'aanit's Chapter 3. Deep in the forest grows the rare herb-of-grace, which is guarded by a Dragon that H'aanit must slay.
Description[]
Located beyond a frozen pond north of Stillsnow, The Whitewood is the only frosted forest dungeon in Octopath Traveler. Set in the afternoon, the Whitewood offers snow-mantled pine trees, a pristine white pathway, and torches that blow sideways in a strong breeze, hinting at the cold winds that course through the area. A few broken fences hint at human habitation, evidence of the efforts of those who sought to harvest the rare herb-of-grace. This forest also plays host to the one of the only dragons left in Orsterra, which chose to den near the herb patch in order to lure travelers into its reach.

Trivia[]
- Alaic mentions that Susanna Grotoff is the only person who knows the trail into the Whitewood; she keeps it secret to prevent townspeople from wandering in and getting slain by the forest's monsters.
- According to Susanna, the Whitewood is so thick that there are few ways in.
- The Whitewood is the only known location that contains herb-of-grace; according to Cyrus, botanists previously believed the plant long extinct.
