Epistle Crystal

The Solution

This is a sequel to my "Note" puzzle, which means it involves navigating a Beetle Adventure Racing track in noclip.website, which, when I put it that way, makes zero sense. This time the track is Wicked Woods.

The trick for this puzzle is that you navigate this track backwards, starting at the finish line. When you look at the line facing backwards, the texture is reversed, so the banner overhead at the start says "HSINIF." After that...

Go forward. Turn right. Go up the street, cross a stone bridge. Go under the tower. Cross a wooden drawbridge. Follow the road until you see four red lanterns. Pass between them. Cross a stone bridge and then a wooden bridge. Pass three grinning PUMPKINS. Cross two wooden bridges. Instead of crossing the log bridge, turn left and fall to the road below. Turn left at the fork. Enter the cave on your right. The yellow thing is supposed to be a pile of gold. Exit the cave and turn left at the fork. Don't enter the tunnel. Climb up the hill and over the hedges. Break in the window. Pass under the haunted CHANDELIER. Walk out the front door of the MANSION. Turn left when you rejoin the road. Cross a stone bridge. Pass through the town of ELLIVDEKCIW (or "WICKEDVILLE"). Cross a stone bridge. Climb to the top of the CATHREDRAL. Look up at THE MOON.

The letters indicated by asterisks spell the answer, SPINDLE.
