Forest Falls, characterized by lush forests, gushing waterfalls, and lofty canopies, is one of the three new biomes introduced in Forza Horizon 5's latest Hot Wheels expansion. This biome features four notable landmarks: Cloud Forest, Hydra Gorge, Hydra's Revenge, and The Forgotten Gorge. Naturally, these landmarks only make up a fraction of Forest Falls' map, which holds various events, races, and other challenges for drivers to complete. However, before players are able to participate in this area's exciting activities in Forza Horizon 5, they must first understand how to reach the zone.
First, before players can enter Forest Falls in Forza Horizon 5, they must own the Hot Wheels DLC. Xbox or PC Game Pass members who've played the game will still need to purchase the expansion separately, as it is not part of their subscription's perks. After acquiring Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels, fans must ensure that the game is updated with the latest patch before entering the map of Mexico. The Hot Wheels Park is a massive region floating in the sky. Therefore, players cannot enter the zone by normal driving means but must instead travel to an event-like map marker located between the Caldera and Guanajuato.
After arriving at the Hot Wheels DLC icon, a cutscene will play of the protagonist driver being propelled up a ramp leading upward through the clouds to the Hot Wheels Park location in Forza Horizon 5. During this gameplay segment, players will be able to control their vehicle but unable to deviate from the track until reaching the Hot Wheels Outpost at the center of The Nexus. However, they will experience a preview of all three of the expansion's new biomes, including Forest Falls.
Unlocking Forest Falls In Forza Horizon 5
After the initial Hot Wheels tutorial is finished, the protagonist will be able to get to Forest Falls on their own. To reach this woodland zone in Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels, drive up the northern track branching out from The Nexus. After passing through several Air Tracks, the player should reach Forest Falls within less than a minute.
