The Conduit
- "It is a gateway... A gateway that will lead us to an entirely new world."
- — Klaus
The Conduit (Gate in the Japanese version) is an energy source in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It is located behind the Architect's Room in the First Low Orbit Station.
The Conduit is defined as a "magnetic abnormal matter", a perpetual motion machine that serves as a connection and gate between dimensions.[1] It is also the ultimate power source used by the Aegises and the Artifices.
It resembles a Latin cross, but with shortened side arms.
Story
The Conduit was found in Africa near the beginning of the 21st century. After its discovery, an institution was formed in order to research it. As the research took place, it was discovered that it possessed the ability to connect different dimensions. Due to the danger this supposed, several orbital stations were built to continue the research, Rhadamanthus being the one used to store the Conduit.
In order to maintain the Conduit, the Trinity Processor, a collective of artificial intelligences, was created. Under the Conduit's influence, the processor was able to create its own defense mechanisms, as several organizations wanted the Conduit for themselves. [1]
During the Saviorite attack in 20XX, the scientist Klaus, who viewed the Conduit as a divine gift he could use to create a new universe, activated it. This resulted in numerous portals to other dimensions appearing all around the planet, which caused most of the world's population to disappear, with only the Land of Morytha and half of Klaus' body remaining.
Millennia later, the bond established between Rex and Pyra managed to make the Conduit stir for the first time since its activation, leading the Architect to predict its imminent disappearance. As Shulk kills Zanza, causing the death of the Architect, the Conduit vanishes into an unknown dimension. Due to its disappearance, the Artifices deactivate, and Rhadamanthus begins to fall.
Trivia
- The Conduit is inspired by the Zohar, a plot-significant object of great power in both Xenogears and the Xenosaga series, and which also inspired the name and logo of Monolith Soft itself.
- The Conduit's assets are additionally labeled "Zohar" within the game files, a nod to this fact.
- The Conduit has the same shape as the Lifeholds in Xenoblade Chronicles X.
- Despite being usually inaccessible, it is possible to enter the Conduit's room by exploiting a walk through walls glitch on the First Low Orbit Station.
