- Starting to Orb 1
- Talking to Harpa will display the message "Interact with all four magic orbs to set checkpoints and track progress."
- The player will have applied the Warp skill, the Magic Research effect and the No Teleporting Here effect.
- Analyzing the first magic orb will teleport the player higher up and east of the
 Soaring Copse — .
- From this point on the Warp special action key can be used to return the player to the last magic orb they interacted with.
- Orb 1 to Orb 2
- On the first platform are some stone blocks leading to a root on the side of the platform, which in turn leads to a small outcropping and some mushroom nodules & caps that can be jumped across to get higher up onto a separate rock.
- Some of the mushroom caps are very narrow, making Jade Bot Glide Booster or Swiftness very useful to get up.
- There are a few more nodules atop this rock, from which the second magic orb can be seen. From the third nodule one can glide to the right of the orb to find some rocks and a root to climb up to the orb itself.
- Jade Bot Glide Booster can be used to get directly from the top nodule to the orb, or to skip the prior nodules.
- Orb 2 to Orb 3
- North of the second magic orb is a small raise. Glide north and to the right, past a mushroom nodule to some lower outcroppings to a root to climb up to the nodule, then glide to some mushroom caps that lead to more nodules followed by more caps and a final nodule from which one can glide to the third orb.
- There is a small side-area reachable by instead gliding straight north to a grass-grown platform on the next rock. From here or the raise one can glide to the left to reach some more grassy platforms, followed by a short climb where after a few partially hidden mushroom nodules to the left lets one get further up and climb yet more roots and outcroppings to reach the Empty Chest.
- Jade Bot Glide Booster can be used from the raise to skip directly to the Empty Chest.
- Orb 3 to Final Orb
- Straight north is another rock with mushroom caps, though getting up on those requires climbing the cliff behind them to glide to them. Southeast of that is another rock with mushroom caps, from which the final orb is visible.
- Jade Bot Glide Booster can be used to glide to the small rock platform just to the right of the final orb, and can then be used again to get to the the orb instead of gliding to the mushroom nodules and climbing up to it.
- However, getting further requires gliding through a loosely curled root to a series of small platforms. From there is another few small rocks that can be glided too and climbed up from to 3 roots right next to each other, though some careful positioning or Swiftness can let one jump & glide to the rock outcropping connected directly to the roots to skip some jumps.
- Through the roots is another series of mushroom caps, nodules, and caps again to reach the top of the roots to a final mushroom cap and a final root. From this final root one can glide to the left to reach some more caps & nodules to reach higher up on a rock platform, where gliding to mushroom nodules and climbing to the final orb is finally feasible.
