The first obstacle of the Bamboo Labyrinth is the Bamboo Warriors.

Bamboo Warriors protect the area around the Bamboo Labyrinth. They're nearly human-sized bamboo sticks that have grown arms and legs and are very hard to cut down due to the dark energies making the bamboo harder. They also have weapons like very pointy bamboo sticks and rakes from the nearby abandoned farms. Their goals is to protect their forest until the bitter end.

Magic definitely helps to fight them as they have no means to block or use magic themselves. There are five bamboo warriors in a group and they're used to fighting in sync with one another. However, if one of them is defeated or separated, it messes up their fight rhythm and it's easier to fight in general.

Inside the Bamboo Labyrinth is immediately a branching path into three directions: forward, left and right. All of them look the same from the start. Which direction is chosen?
