Notes

"There are no enemies in this dungeon; instead you have to solve" a butterfly-direction puzzle (Game8). Solution recorded in the source as a spoiler: follow the butterfly counts 1-3-2-1-3, i.e. go west-east-west-west-east from the start; choosing wrong sends you back to the start. No chests are described.
Theodora cannot access this dungeon in Part I until Chapter 9 due to story reasons (RPG Site).
Cai's Path: Game8's 100% Walkthrough recommends exploring the Wandering Wood from Chapter 6, and Chapter 7 ("Opposed Agendas", step "Solve the Wandering Wood") states "The Starbirth Garden can only be accessed by going through the Wandering Wood" - take the branch with the Blue Butterfly to reach the garden exit (retrieved 2026-10-04).
IGN's 'List of Dungeons' table (retrieved 2026-09-26) spells this dungeon's region 'Savelion', against 'Saveilon' (Game8, RPG Site). The Game8 and RPG Site spelling is kept. IGN's 'Level' column for this dungeon reads 'N/A'.

Hides: a walkthrough spoiler (e.g. a puzzle solution)
