1. 1

   Recite the incantation and follow the Yellow Brick Road

   Speak the words "Expecto Ludum" from the enchanted tome in the palace playroom to transport yourself into the fairytale illusion. Upon arrival at the Yellow Brick Road, inspect the welcome sign placed by Artorius Vigo. Follow the road forward while fighting off hostile pixies until you spot the candy cottage ahead.

   Watch out: Be aware that entering the realm locks out blacksmith, armorer, and gear repair services entirely while you are inside.

   Slay the Wicked Witch and free Syanna

   Approach the candy cottage along the yellow road where the Wicked Witch circles overhead on her broom while Syanna is trapped below. Bring down the flying hag and slay her with assistance from Jack, which frees Syanna. Once liberated, join Syanna to continue your trek toward escaping the realm.

   Tip: Target the witch with Jack's aid to bring the battle to an end swiftly.

3. 3

   Consult Joss on the hillside

   Proceed to the nearby hillside off the main road to find Joss, the Boy Who Cried Wolf, besieged by a pack of wolves. Clear away the beasts and question the boy to discover the locations of the three magic beans needed to grow an escape route.

   Claim the Relic gear and the yellow bean at Longlocks' Tower

   In the clearing between Joss and the tower, track a glowing Will o' the Wisp to a small pool where a fallen knight's body rests submerged, allowing you to recover the full Relic Toussaint Armor Set and the steel sword Vitis. Next, scale the summit inside Longlocks' isolated stone tower and eliminate the banshee-like specter waiting at the top. Search her remains to collect the yellow bean.
