Bulk Swamp

Tip: Bulk Swamp and Bulk Bridge are good training spots for your Digimon, as the Coelamon in these areas will give you the highest EXP and DV EXP so far. Try getting your Rookie Digimon up to level 13-15.

As soon as you arrive at the South Sector, exit South Station and you will find yourself in Bulk Swamp.

This is a linear map. Simply head south from South Station and continue past the plank crossing to access Bulk Bridge.

Jungle Grave – Fighting Zambamon

Tip: You may run into Musyamon as a rare wild encounter in this area. If that happens, run away immediately and do not try to fight it. Musyamon is the strongest wild Digimon you will find at this point, and you will not be able to defeat it unless you are way overleveled. You should avoid grinding in this area for now.

In the Jungle Grave, just head north across the first crossing. Once you are back on land, take the path to the south.
