Holy sapling is a large tree that stands on its enlarged roots. It has a face with eyes and a nose, as well as draping leaves that form the appearance of dreadlocks.
Farina s'occupe depuis des années de cet arbre immense et sanguinaire. Elle l'a soumis à un régime à base de villageois.TrTranslation: Farina has been taking care of this huge, bloodthirsty tree for years. She has put it on a diet of villagers.
After Durum destroyed the plant that had grown inside of their home, his daughter, Farina, began to collect felins from Tropica Village and Assam to feed to Yggsalad, the Holy Tree, as a personal replacement. After collecting enough people to put in the soil, including her own father, she managed to grow the sapling into a large tree of its own within the trunk of Yggsalad. In order to protect the sapling, she used her fire magic to subjugate and command the pirate otters in Assam, creating a password for entry into the Holy Tree. To further protect the sapling, she eventually went as far as to burn down Carbonara Jungle in order to further isolate the villagers.
After the party extinguished and restored the plant life of Carbonara Jungle, they entered Assam and managed to crack Farina's password by talking to the pirate otters. Venturing into Yggsalad, they discovered the large burial site for the people Farina had kidnapped. They explored further into the backmost room, finding Durum barely alive. When they attempted to free him by digging, they were interrupted by the holy sapling, which was in front of them the entire time. After managing to defeat it, Farina walked into the room to discover that the sapling she had worked to cultivate had been killed. When scolded by Semolina, she apologized for all of her misdeeds, and the two cried together while embracing.
In place of the sapling, an anthropophagus flower had appeared. When the party looked to inspect it, they were stopped by the salamanders, who explained that it would consume them if they stepped any closer, due to the fact that Yggsalad was in a weakened state and needed to consume somebody to convert them into a wood millennium gummy. Hearing this, Semolina immediately sacrificed herself, and the only object remaining was the gummy. Durum, in grave shock at what had just occurred, willingly gave the gummy to the party, claiming it was Semolina's soul.
