The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Deku Tree has a plight on its own. Due to the emergence of a terrible evil and the eruption of Gloom from the Depths, the surrounding woods has become shrouded in mist. Here's our guide to help you cleanse the Deku Tree and Great Hyrule Forest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Likewise, please be reminded that this article contains minor spoilers.
What we do know is this: the Lost Woods or Great Hyrule Forest can be found north of Lookout Landing and the floating Hyrule Castle. Further beyond that, there's the Typhlo Ruins Skyview Tower, which overlooks the forest itself. However, if you look at the area, it's covered in fog.

We approached the forest via the southeastern road.A Korok told us about a Chasm in Minshi Woods, which was back the way we came.We dove down into the Minshi Woods Chasm.
Follow the Lightroots that guide you along the way.When you reach an area called Korok Grove, watch out since a Gloomy Hands monster will spawn. You could just use a balloon to bypass it before gliding to the next Lightroot.Near one of the Lightroots, you'll find the bottom of a pillar. You can use your Ascend ability here. This will take you to the center of Korok Forest. All the Koroks here are quiet since the Deku Tree is suffering from corruption.Gallery

The first encounter is against a Gloomy Hands monster. Try to freeze it if you can, all while breaking out of its grab attacks. Once it dies, you'll have to take on a foe that you should be familiar with. It's similar to that one encounter in a main quest. The difference here is that you're only up against a single enemy. Wait for the specter to lunge toward you, then dodge its blow so you can counter with a Flurry Rush.
In any case, you should have cleansed the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Deku Tree and Great Hyrule Forest by now. Here's what you'll notice:
