The map leads the trio to the Dark Forest, which morphs into different landscapes depending on the wielder of the map: Puss and Kitty receive two similarly hellish settings while Perrito receives a tranquil and colorful forest. Puss gets his beard shaved off by Kitty and also gets rid of a stick he wielded as his replacement sword which Perrito fetches, getting himself captured by Jack in the process. Shortly after, Goldi and her gang intervenes and a fight ensues. Amidst the commotion, Puss sees the hooded wolf again and runs off in fear, distracting Kitty and enabling Goldi to obtain the map.

With Perrito calming him down, Puss reveals that he had deeply regretted leaving Kitty on their wedding day. Kitty overhears their conversation and later reveals that she never came to the wedding either, feeling like she could never compete with someone who loves himself more than her. The two manage to reclaim the map from Goldi's group when the latter becomes distracted by the map showing their woodland cottage. As the dimension morphs, Perrito gets left behind and captured while Puss is accidentally trapped in a "Cave of Lost Souls" after touching the map, leaving Kitty to retrieve Perrito on her own.

Inside the cave, Puss encounters crystal reflections of his past lives, who mock him for changing his attitude. The hooded wolf also shows up, revealing himself to be the literal incarnation of Death, and he now wants to take Puss's last life as retribution for squandering his previous ones. Afraid, Puss hastily runs away with the map, an act which Kitty and Perrito witness from afar. Meanwhile, a distraught Goldi reveals she would wish for a human family, devastating the bears who nonetheless support her. Arriving at the Star, Puss is confronted by Kitty, who feels betrayed by his selfishness.

Goldi's group and Jack soon arrive and another fight ensues. During this, Jack is thrown into his magical bottomless bag by Kitty, while Goldi saves Baby Bear when he is almost thrown off
