Overview

Smuggler’s Wood is a named woodland area in the Gonoura Prefecture of Iki Island. It is a small, largely environmental location rather than a settlement, fort, quest hub or major collectible site. Its importance comes from its position within the southern and south-western travel network, its connection with the island’s smuggling routes, and its role as one of the possible locations for the unwritten tale A Helping Hand.

The area is easy to overlook because it does not have the visual or mechanical prominence of nearby landmarks such as Buddha’s Footprints, Saru Island, Saruiwa, or Smuggler’s Road. Guides and interactive maps generally treat it as a named map area and a minor exploration zone rather than as a settlement with its own services. Iki’s regional listings place Smuggler’s Wood in Gonoura Prefecture, alongside Smuggler’s Road, Zasho Bay, Zasho River, Saruiwa and other south-western locations.
