How to reach the mountains: use Raise Earth after the Fairy Ring rescue
Rescue the person trapped in the Fairy Ring in Ochre Woods, receive Raise Earth, then use it on the river or the forest cliffs to make a path toward the mountains. That is the route reported by players asking about the cursed mill and the strong current; the reply does not require buying a boat first.

Open the woods, finish the rescue and make the crossing
- If Ochre Woods is still closed, start Ferry Girl by reading the Gone Fishing sign.
- Complete the Fairy Ring rescue. The Chamomile seed answer covers one reported material obstacle.
- Follow the rescued person’s conversation about making it safe; another respondent says this is when the spell is given.
- Use Raise Earth at the river or the cliffs from the forest and check for the created path.
Rescue complete, but no Raise Earth?
One player reports this exact missing-reward branch. A second player says the safety conversation gave them the spell and suspects a bug, but supplies no proven recovery. Check your learned songs and the remaining dialogue; if the spell is still absent, report that specific reward problem rather than repeatedly testing the strong current. These replies establish a route lead, not every crossing coordinate, controller input or a fix for a missing spell.
