Forest of Fear (E7) is the far-east late-game level that opens after the Torch burns the forest vines. Use the finder below for every Gray, Red, Green, and Blue chest, all eight Musical Coins, and exact room-map links for Day/Night and each map variant.
FIRST CLEAR PRIORITY
Open the Gray Chest for the Warp Compact, then enter The Warped Void
Carry the Gray Key to the Gray Chest and take the Warp Compact. On the overworld it reveals E5 The Warped Void beyond Forest of Fear. Come back later for both Key Cards and the Warp Removal Apparatus once Super Grab Gloves, Mystery Handle, and Demon’s Blood open the harder variants.

UNLOCK · OVERWORLD
How to open Forest of Fear
Torch → forest vines → E7
Collect the Torch from the Red Chest in E3 Castle of Illusions. On the overworld it burns the forest vines, opens E7 Forest of Fear, and reconnects the eastern path toward N2 The Peaceful Village.
Once inside, prioritize the Gray Chest Warp Compact so E5 The Warped Void appears beyond the forest. That loop is the main late-east progression gate.
