Far Far West Woodlands: Jeff's Guide to Digging Up Trouble (and Souls!)
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Jeff guides adventurers through the spooky Far Far West Woodlands, detailing all 10 grave locations for players to uncover and claim their 1,000-soul reward, crediting Polygon and Ford James for the initial intel.
Alright, my fellow digital adventurers, Jeff here! So, you’ve traversed the Desert, braved the Far West, and even tackled the Canyon in Far Far West, eh? Reckon you’re feeling pretty seasoned, ready for anything? Well, buckle up, because our next stop, the Far Far West Woodlands, is dialling up the spooky factor. Think less 'sunny stroll' and more 'accidental teleport into a haunted arboretum, complete with territorial bees.' Bloody excellent!
This time 'round, we're on the hunt for another 10 graves – because what’s a good digital expedition without a bit of grave-robbing for, *ahem*, 'historical preservation'? Bagging 'em all nets you a tidy 1,000 souls. Not bad for a bit of digging, eh? Our mate Ford James over at Polygon already blazed a trail through this eerie neck of the woods (massive shoutout to him and Polygon for the intel!), so I've taken his stellar guide and injected a bit of that ol' Jeff magic. Consider this your slightly-less-serious, but equally effective, roadmap to those sweet, sweet souls.
Now, while we've got a suggested route, feel free to zig-zag like a confused wizard if your spawn point dictates. It's pretty flat, so your trusty mount should make quick work of it. Just mind the bees, eh? They're not the friendliest neighbours. Let's dive in!
### Far Far West Woodlands Grave Locations Map

Our recommended order for checking these off is numbered below, but remember, the world is your oyster – or rather, your spooky, bee-filled woodland. Trot on, mate!
### Woodlands Grave #1: The Swampland Shipwreck Kicking things off at the very top of your map, you'll want to head for a swampy patch – because of course, graves love a good bog. Look for a small land outcrop, then keep your eyes peeled for a wrecked ship. Our first little digital internment is chilling just behind it. Classic. Almost feels like the game devs just threw it there and went 'Yep, that'll do.'
### Woodlands Grave #2: Dead Tree Lament Now, for this one, you might initially ride past grave #3, but hold your horses (or your digital steed, whatever). We're going for a mini-expedition here, grabbing graves #2, #3, and #4 in a neat little cluster. Grave #2 is nestled at the base of a hulking, dead tree, right in a small creek. A bit melancholic, if you ask me. What did that tree ever do to deserve such a neighbour?
### Woodlands Grave #3: Under the Water Tower's Gaze As you make your way to where #3 theoretically *should* be, you'll spot a long wooden ramp structure. Resist the urge to climb it for now – trust me, we'll get there. Instead, look to the wooden wall just beneath the nearby water tower. That’s where you'll find this gem. Sneaky, aren't they?
### Woodlands Grave #4: Ramp Up to Riches (or Graves) Alright, now you can indulge your inner daredevil! Turn around and scamper all the way up that wooden ramp you ignored a moment ago. At the very end, perched on a ledge, you'll unearth (pun absolutely intended) the fourth grave. Bet you feel clever now, eh?
### Woodlands Grave #5: Minecart Mayhem (Almost) Next up, gaze east. You should spy a minecart track winding across a raised bridge. Hop on, enjoy the ride to the top, but *critical info alert*: jump off before you actually enter the cave. Our fifth grave is waiting patiently for you right there. Don't want to overshoot your target, do we?
### Woodlands Grave #6: Coastal Marauder Meet-Up Time to trek east again, roughly 300 meters, practically kissing the coast. You'll find this one chilling at the foot of a cliff, probably trying to blend in with the scenery. Just be warned, you might find some 'Marauders' having a bit of a natter nearby. Don't let them spoil your grave-hunting groove.
### Woodlands Grave #7: Barnyard Overlook Southwest we go! This grave is tucked away in a small clearing, surrounded by trees, offering a rather scenic (for a grave, anyway) overlook of a barn. Oh, and if you're feeling adventurous, there's a zipline nearby. Always nice when grave-hunting comes with optional extreme sports, eh?
### Woodlands Grave #8: Bridge Dweller Directly south from the last one, you'll stumble upon a rather rickety-looking wooden bridge. Don't worry, you don't need to cross it to find this one. Our eighth grave is taking shelter right underneath it. Smart move, avoiding the digital weather.
### Woodlands Grave #9: Pier Pressure Head west now, intrepid explorer! Eventually, you'll arrive at a small pier, complete with a few quaint houses. Keep your eyes peeled – the ninth grave is lurking in a corner, discreetly tucked away behind some crates. They really do love their hiding spots, these graves. Almost like a game within a game!
### Woodlands Grave #10: Lighthouse Finale (Ground Level) And finally, the grand finale! Make your way to the very southwest corner of the map. You'll spot a magnificent lighthouse – a beacon of hope, or perhaps just a fancy landmark for your final grave. Now, you *can* zipline up there for a disc fragment (ooh, shiny!), but our grave is being a bit more grounded. You'll find it chilling on the ground, right at the rear of the lighthouse. Mission accomplished, mate!
There you have it, folks! All 10 grave locations in the Far Far West Woodlands. 1,000 souls richer, and probably a few more grey hairs from those darn bees. Hope this little jaunt helped you unearth some digital treasures without too much fuss. Go forth, be curious, and maybe don't accidentally blow a hole in *your* reality while celebrating. Until next time, happy gaming! Jeff out.
