Heart of the Elders is the third Mythos Pack in "The Forgotten Age Cycle".
Following the events of The Boundary Beyond, you and your team of investigators head deep into the jungles of southern Mexico in search of an ancient, forgotten cavern. After several days of trekking through the jungle, you find what you believe to be the entrance of the cave, but something is not right. Six pillars surround the cavern, carved with strange symbols. Are they a warning? A lock? You must investigate this further, but time is running short. Your supplies are already starting to run low and countless eyes watch you from the shadows of the trees. What secrets are they trying to protect?
This Mythos Pack features an immersive two-part scenario that takes you on an adventure both above and below the Earth. Immediatley forced to face the consequences of your choices, you shape the scenario as you go, determining which dangers you face and which allies you rely upon. Isolated from the rest of civilization, who can you trust?

Neat scenario which mirrors the first two of the campaign, splitting double-sided into "explore the forest" and "explore the caverns below". Essentially Mexico pt.2, reptile boogaloo. I enjoyed the soft "return to" aspect that made me enjoy playing Forgotten Age initially but took it a step further, as well as implementing a shortcut mechanic if the investigators did well in the previous scenario. Shortcut can be a bit of a "oh, uh, okay" deflating moment as it (spoilers) completely means you can skip most or all of the first half of the scenario.

This is a continuation of the previous scenario, sort of. Your performance in the previous scenario greatly affects what happens in this scenario. In fact, you might be able to skip half of this scenario if you did especially well in the previous scenario. It’s possible to go through the first half of the scenario repeatedly. This was odd and new but a little boring.
