How to Get Lightcrystal¶
Flooded Forest¶
Lightcrystals can be mined from white or blue minining outcrops in the Flooded Forest. There’s a higher chance of finding them from white mining outcrops, so prioritize those if you can.
1: Inside the ruins on the highlands in-between the area 8 and 9 battlegrounds. There are stairs leading up to the entrance from the north-east.
2: Inside a small cave up a cliff near the north face of the highlands in-between areas 6 and 7. North from the Sub-Camp. You can use your wirebugs to climb up from Area 7.
Or you can drop down from the top of the highlands. Look for a pile of three stones pointing to where you should go.
3: North-east from the Area 10 battleground, there’s a big hole in the ground, sandwiched between highlands. This mining outcrop is a short distance north of the big hole.
4: The far south-east corner of the map, next to the great pyramid.
5: In a room inside the great pyramid, accessible from the south. Use the great wirebug in Area 2 to reach the halfway point of the pyramid. From there, use your own wirebugs to climb up to the top. Next, go around to the south and drop down to the entrance that’s halfway up the slope. Don’t hesitate to press to stop yourself. When you reach the room, be wary of a gap in the middle of the floor.
6: In another room inside the great pyramid, accessible from the east. From the previous node, go back outside and then carefully drop down below, back to the halfway point. Make your way around to the east side of the pyramid. Look down and you should see another entrance you can drop down to.
