Titan Forest

''This article is about the location. For the chapter of the same name, see The Forest of Giant Trees.''



The Forest Of Giant Trees is a forest which comprises of tall trees, which have enormous trunks and large branches and can grow larger than almost all typical Titans. There are several of these forests in the region between Wall Rose and Wall Maria. 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 Gears, as there are many tall tree trunks and branches to which the metal ropes can secure to, improving versatility and mobility.

Female Titan Arc
During the 57th Expedition to the outer lands, the Scouting Legion's outer right flank was wiped out primarily due to the Female Titan. Commander Irvin, the leader of the expedition, signalled the middle flank to enter the pathway inside a Forest of Giant Trees, located somewhere between Wall Maria and Wall Rose. The rest of the flanks 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 middle flank into the Forest and was easily lured into the trap, which was set up by Irvin's squad. The forest served as a means to secure the Female Titan with certain ropes piercing into her. The forest also allowed Corporal Rivaille's squad and subsequently Mikasa Ackerman and Corporal Rivaille to fight the Female Titan after she escaped.

After the Clash of Titans Arc
Hanji Zoe deduced that Reiner and Bertholdt 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 Scouting Legion 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. Reiner expresses that they (Reiner, Bertholdt, Eren and Ymir) had no choice but to wait until nightfall to move out.
