The initial area of the Infinite Forest, located in the interior of Mercury's core, contains four tower-like structures with gateways, three of which lead to different time periods within different simulations, and one that leads back to Mercury's surface. The sleek, futuristic tower to the left of the entrance leads to the distant past where Mercury is a lush jungle; the tower directly across the entrance, which is comprised of conventional Vex architecture, leads to iterations of the present; and the crumbling, darkened tower to the right of the entrance leads to the far future, where the Sun is long dead, along with all life and the Vex have spread everywhere.<ref name="Livestream"/> The Infinite Forest does not only simulate Mercury or the Sun, but also entire timelines, comparable to other simulations of universes, there can even be doorways to other places such as [[Mars]],<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/mZYzcA5.jpg Osiris Comic Image]</ref> or even travel from Mercury to [[Earth]]. As Guardians move toward the main towers, they encounter simulated [[Cabal]], [[Fallen]], and [[Hive]], as well as [[Vex]], and must defeat the disguised units called "Daemons" to generate new pathways and advance, these pathways change randomly every time one enters the forest. And just like on [[Nessus]], Time moves differently between inside the Infinite Forest and outside, when exiting the forest is when you just entered.

Within the actual simulations of the past, present, and future, Guardians will continue to encounter simulated enemies from the other races. For example, in one of the infinite variations of reality being analyzed, the far future where the Vex have triumphed over everything may also contain Fallen survivors.<ref name="IF Tour"/> The Forest can even simulate realities where the Infinite Forest did not even exist. They can use the Infinite Forest to understand enemy strategies and tactics such as the Fallen's methods of Retreat so as to prevent the theft of their tech. They can even set such simulations on timers for however long they last. and within such space, they can alter the Geometry. Osiris comments on how fascinating the simulation is with it's combination of constants and variables, rigid structure in movement, dynamism in engagement, everything within a strict framework. | Within the actual simulations of the past, present, and future, Guardians will continue to encounter simulated enemies from the other races.
