| ~ In-game description |
Spirit of the Forest is the final upgrade in the 2nd path for the Druid in BTD6. When purchased, it slowly begins growing thorned vines along the track that deal 2 damage (6 to ceramics and MOAB class bloons) every 0.5 seconds and will give $1,000 every round it is on-screen. The vine attack can pop Camo bloons but not leads. Additionally, the ability now additionally grants 25 lives per usage alongside the normal Jungle's Bounty effect. It costs $42,500 on Easy, $50,000 on Medium, $54,000 on Hard, $60,000 on Impoppable.
Strategies
- Note that an invisible circle surrounds it that dictates when and where the vines will grow. The circle will expand over time, covering more area and growing more vines. This means that the closer it is to the track, the quicker the vines will grow.
- Once the vines grow, they are on permanently, until the tower is sold so it is vital to keep it on field as once the tower is sold, all vines are immediately destroyed.
- The vines will remain on the track forever and have infinite popping power, being very powerful throughout rounds 60-100.

Trivia
- This tower is one of the few towers that retains the same ability when upgrading to Tier-5.
- The others being the Spike Factory, the Heli Pilot (Chinook pickup ability only), and the Monkey Sub.
- Note that the player can have a maximum of 5025 lives, with 5000 normal lives and 25 from Mana Shield if purchased, which is enough to survive multiple D.D.T.s or M.O.A.B.s. This is also enough to survive two B.F.B.s, or one Fortified B.F.B.
- Currently there is a glitch with the vines spawned, every 4th Ceramic spawned via D.D.Ts or M.O.A.Bs will not be damaged. This has not yet been patched.
- One of Obyn Greenfoot's quotes is "The spirits of the forest awaken". This quote possibly is related to the Spirit of the Forest Druid.
