The Ether Mine is an area below Colony 6, with its lowest point housing a river of ether. A large portion of this dungeon will be blocked off after completing it, so it’s important to thoroughly explore it for all of its goodies before progressing the main story to the end there. Only the cave portion (the first area) will remain accessible.
