Quick answer

Sota7 has four officially classified zones: the Valley, Headlands, Pass and Aquatic Zone. Start with the Valley for early fieldwork; use the region links below to find resources. The Pass is described as an end-of-progression area, not an opening destination.

Choose a region for your objective

Know the species, but not where to look?

Use the habitat lookup to narrow a region to clearings, caves, marshes or a soil type. For a named target, plant entries and creature entries provide direct location and caution notes.

A region is the broad area; a habitat is the smaller environment within it. The same word, such as “lake,” can occur in more than one region, so keep both clues together.

Is there a map or unlock route here?

These guides organize official survey information; they are not a coordinate map. The surveys do not establish exact entrances, fast-travel points or a complete sequence of unlock requirements.

  1. Choose a target and read its region plus habitat.
  2. Confirm the species name when you find it, rather than relying only on appearance.
  3. Record a recognizable nearby landmark for your return trip.
  4. Check the requirements shown by your current objective before entering an unfamiliar area.

This is suggested route-planning practice, not a tested walkthrough.
