You can explore several types of islands when adventuring in Necesse, each corresponding to a specific biome. There are four types of biomes, with a total of ten island types between them. By default, you spawn on the Forest biome near the Elder’s house, but where you go next will largely depend on the procedural world generation and your choices. You can start exploring new islands as soon as you get to the Wood Boat. This guide lists all of the biomes and their islands in Necesse, with default progression order in mind.
