Central Factory

The future doesn't belong to you!
For those who have not completed games in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised.

The Central Factory (中央工廠, Chūō Kōshō) is a location in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is located in the chest of the Mechonis and is directly connected to Mechonis Field, Agniratha, and Mechonis Core. The only quests here are Story Quests and some Surprise Quests (there are no NPCs in this area), along with one quest only available for a short time. All of the quests are timed, and all of the enemies are Mechon.

This area becomes inaccessible after Chapter 16, but all collectables can be found in Colony 6 after that point.

Story[]

Shulk and the others arrive in the Factory upon leaving Mechonis Field as they head to confront Egil. They make their way to the top, defeat a Mechon ambush, and use the teleporter to travel to the Machina capital, Agniratha.

The party later returns to the Central Factory by flying in the Junks through the Ventilation Conduit, with Alvis, Dickson, and Vanea as guests. The Junks remains at the landmark, with a corresponding icon appearing on the map. The party then proceeds to the Apocrypha Generator in order to destroy it and prevent Egil from being able to control the Mechonis, but arrive too late. They destroy the generator regardless, then proceed to Mechonis Core. Alvis and Dickson remain behind, waiting outside Mechonis Core for the party to return.
