"The clash of metal breaks the silence of the forest."

— Announcer

Unknown Forest (人知れぬ森, Unknown Forest^?) is Viola's stage in Soulcalibur V.

The platform which the fight takes place on is partially encircled by water, enabling ring-outs to three sides of the ring. There is also an owl peeking out of a tree, observing the fight, along with some deer.

Profile

During the High Middle Ages, Europe's forests were greatly reduced in size to make room for the increasing human population. The Unknown Forest has since become a safe haven for wildlife and lost souls who have been shunned by society. Though the dangers are quite obvious, travelers have little choice but to go through the Unknown Forest when passing through this area.

Designer's Comment

"I imagined this is what the forest near the Ancient Citadel would look like. The rabbit hiding among the rocks may be waiting for one of the characters to get thrown against the trees, which would cause a few tasty morsels to fall from the high branches!"

— Chiho Kasai
