Titan Forest



A Forest Of Giant Trees is comprised of tall trees (Mostly 80 meters tall), which have enormous trunks and large branches and can grow larger than almost all typical Titans. Due to their enormous sizes, humans can stay atop the upper branches of the trees and remain safe from Titans, which do not possess the intelligence to climb trees. These forests are excellent places to use 3D Maneuver Gear, as there are many tall tree trunks and branches to which the metal ropes can secure to, improving versatility and mobility.

There are several of these forests in the region between Wall Maria and Wall Rose and they originally functioned as tourist spots.

Female Titan Arc
During the 57th Expedition to the outer lands, the Survey Corps's outer right flank was wiped out primarily due to the Female Titan. Commander Erwin, the leader of the expedition, signaled the center column to enter the pathway to the Forest of Giant Trees, located somewhere between Wall Maria and Wall Rose. The remaining units were ordered to station themselves on the borders of the forest and stop any Titans that attempted to enter. As expected, the Female Titan followed the center column into the Forest and was easily lured into the trap set by Erwin's squad. The forest served as a means to secure the Female Titan with certain ropes piercing into her. The forest also allowed Levi's squad and subsequently Mikasa Ackerman and Levi to fight the Female Titan after she escaped.

After the Clash of Titans Arc
Hange Zoë deduced that Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover must have stopped by at a Forest of Giant Trees, located somewhere between Wall Rose and Wall Maria, because they had just had an exhausting fight with Eren and some members of the Survey Corps and would require some rest in their human forms. The upper branches in the forest would serve as excellent protection from other Titans while they recovered.

Later, Reiner expresses that he, Bertholdt, Eren and Ymir have no choice but to wait until nightfall to move out.
