Changes: Ether Mine (XC1)

Revision as of 03:03, 9 July 2014

Central Pit Location — The Ether Mine on Bionis

The Ether Mine is an area beneath Colony 6. It is a good source of Ether (which allows players to create their own Cylinders to create Gemstones with) and has several levels, the lowest of which houses a river of Ether. After the plot progresses, most of the area becomes inaccessible.

Story

Looking for a way to sneak into Colony 6, Sharla suggests they take the Ether Mine since the Mechon cannot have found all the passages yet. Unfortunately she is incorrect, as not only do Mechon patrol most levels of the Ether Mine, their leader Xord has taken the lowest level as a banquet hall.

Additional Information

The Ether Mine is an excellent source of Ether Cylinders for making Gemstones. After Xord is defeated for the second time, the Ether Mine cannot be accessed any longer; only the cave remains accessible.

After you are tasked with the reconstruction of Colony 6, each time you increase the level of Nature in the colony beyond level 2, the ether crystals in the mine raise their level in turn.

It is said that the Mechon attacked Colony 6 in order to gain control of the mine, as it would allow them to fuel raids along all of Bionis.
