Appendix:Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky walkthrough/Chapter 8
At the Basecamp
Upon arriving at the basecamp in a foggy forest, the game will say it is the start of "Groudon's Heart". Chatot will say you are late, but quickly calms and tells you to come into camp. You think the place is familiar, but Chatot makes you move along before you can dwell on it. The guild and Team Skull gather together to listen to Chatot, but Chimecho recounts a legend about Uxie who is said to live at Fogbound Lake. Uxie is said to wipe memories clean if it meets your eyes to protect the existence of the lake, and you wonder if that's what happened to you. Chatot calls this folklore and tells you all to head out and explore, warning you of the low visibility beyond this point because of the deep fog. You wonder one more time if this place is related to your memory loss before heading further in.
Your partner runs ahead and find a shining red gem laying on the ground and beckons you forward. They say the stone is warm and remarks it might be rare so they take it with them.
Inside the Forest
Forest Path
Forest path is another 5 floor looping path meant for leveling. Be mindful of Swinub's Powder Snow, especially when Dunsparce can paralyze you with Glare or put to sleep with Yawn.

Foggy Forest
Foggy Forest is 11 floors, the first dungeon to feature weather, and the main type appears to be Normal. The fog here weakens the power of Electric type moves so don't be surprised if they don't do much damage. If you've got a Riolu with you, or are a Riolu, then you're at an advantage and a disadvantage, as the Normal types cover for weaknesses by putting Flying types in front of you. Bidoof is no longer exploring with your team.
Be mindful that many Pokémon might have status-inducing moves: Hoothoot, Noctowl, Dunsparce, Skiploom, Stantler or Breloom. Pachirisu might carry Charm, which will massively reduce physical Attack. The biggest possible threat is Buneary; if it uses Frustration it will deal massive damage for this point of the game. Additionally, Stantler and Zigzagoon, and Pachirisu and Buneary might have Sand-Attack and Endure respectively.

Complete this level and you will be taken deeper into the forest, where there is yet more fog.
Items
The Groudon Statue
You enter a place where there is water pouring down all around you. Corphish is there near an odd statue and says the statue says something in footprint runes, so your partner steps forward to read it. "Reignite the life that burned within Groudon... Then the sky shall blaze with the Sun's heat... The path to treasure shall be revealed." While Corphish and your partner are pondering what this means, you partner tells you to touch the statue.
This time, instead of seeing a vision you will hear voices. One says, "Place the Drought Stone in Groudon's Heart. That lifts the fog!"
After a moment of thought you have an idea- maybe the drought stone is the red gem your partner found. Your partner agrees to try and inserts the stone into the statues chest. The statues eyes turn red and it begins to shake before your team and Corphish begin to run away. There's a flash and the fog is gone. Above you is Fogbound Lake! Corphish leaves to let the other guild members know.
As soon as Corphish is gone, Team Skull rushes you and tells you they intend to go steal the treasure. Your partner gets annoyed again and begins to fights back. As they're about to use their gas attack on you again, an Apple rolls, with someone screaming after it. It turns out to be Wigglytuff!
Wigglytuff is happy to see everyone here together. He tells your team to go for the treasure while his friends on Team Skull are told to stay behind with him to wait for their report. Team Skull begins making a new plan to take down Wigglytuff, take his rumored treasure, and follow after you. Skuntank says "No hard feelings... But the great, famous explorer Wigglytuff... Is finished! Chaw-Haw!"
