where is "Den of the Dead" in Sylvalum?

I thought it was self explanatory.
Didn't notice we're community now, lol
I mention Den of the Dead because it houses the weaker Gerrids that can drop it. An easy way to identify it is that it's the cave right next to the FN site down below the northern summit. It's guarded by Ganglion and as you go in, you'll encounter Petramands. Another place is Quay Hollows (that one cave south of the Noctilent Sphere over the water guarded by two Zig turrets). The Gerrids there range from 51-60.
From the spreadsheet for some level 41-50 Gerrids. 407NE ,410SE, 420(lo), Den of the Dead. Otherwise, Den of the Dead or Quay Hollows.
As for what to break, I've seen it dropped from the body (aka just killing it in general) but I've been going at breaking as many appendages as possible. I need to also test treasure sensor. The drop is blue rarity.
As for the other drops, I got enough materials to make 5 augments from doing a squad mission that had both monsters weak enough to kill with a single Ares.90 Aghashura cannon blast. I'm gonna have to start keeping track of these missions for the rewards they can give.
oh yeah

lol.
The fact that Sylvalum and Cauldros have nastier weather effects, I hate a bit Spores and that Fire Rain even if they look gorgeous.
What's even worse is that even the most shallow of the Faces in the first game got more characterisation and backstory. Here, you have individual figures, with unique species and presumably their own motives, which don't get touched on at all.
Also, with the armour, despite wanting to give everyone a consistent look as well; Elma was the only one I could retain the default for, the rest I just settled on a combination of armour and casual clothes to be their 'standard' outfit. Their actual defaults are just too dull.
The first one requires a dog and is in Deliverance Park in the morning; the second is in the Outfitters hangar at night, the third is on the Ma-non ship with no time requirement, the fourth is near HB's spot at night; and the final one is in front of BLADE tower with no time requirement.
He doesn't

I have been flying around that area for the a hour some how have not found the Den
I was thinking FN 420 was the cave door
after all this time I still get lost in this huge space
I was hoping reflect damage really does what it says but XX is 100% I really want to see that on an A90
I think it's FN Site 416. So basically the one to the west/left of 420 lol
Edit: I had a bout with Elvira. My on-foot electric resistance was at 125 but my accuracy was abysmal. We just kept attacking each other but it didn't budge either way for a good 15 minutes... Had a good laugh there.

yeah found it lol
also I was fighting these big dudes in Cauldros for a long time until I read the soup they dropped was Clear not Cloudy
so I enter this den with my A90 expecting the same huge towers and find tiny little shits lol
at least they are dropping cloudy soup at a nice rate
thanks for the help
Brimstone in Cauldros is awesome, especially when you go up in the volcano smoke in Mt. M'gando.

I did it before 10, I didn't think there were any special spoilers. Maybe just foreshadowing, haven't even started chapter 11 so, maybe it's over my head.

What's the soft cap for evasion? I want to know how many augments to craft before I start to hit some major diminishing returns.

I finally mananged to make a build that I'm quite happy and it's based around Thermal damage thanks to the Thermal Dual Guns provided by the Nopon Guild and the Thermal Longswords from Six Stars AND I decked my skell in all kind of Thermal + Beam weapons with some augments to make them more effective =3
Also the armor sets and weapons of the Six Stars AM are so cool looking.
EDIT: Oh god, I noticed that I only need 1 items to 100% the Collectopedia segments of Primordia and Oblivia...

Near the 503 point in Cauldros.
Finally got flight, holy moly that's quite the experience flying out the first time. 'Don't worry lin, I'll be back soon!'
Some misc takes on the game about 55 hours in:
1. Most of the soundtrack is fantastic, I think the problem is how songs are used/mixed more than the actual songs. EG I love the flight song, but hate how it resets each time. Though I've sorta adapted my flying behavior to it - longer flights, more time on ground to preserve fuel. Other songs get used far less than they deserve. The multiplayer lobby song for example.
2. Four skells + flight = well there goes never running out of fuel.
3. I kinda wish I had gone more into Sylvanium/Cauldaros before flight module. Both have a lot of really cool vertical stuff that you can get to on foot. Perhaps the main story should have pushed you there before flight was available, and flight could have come as a result of a failed Cauldaros mission.
4. The Reef in Oblivia... just flying around, 'Those are some neat flying rocks' *looks up* 'Woah!'
5. This game never lets you feel safe when you're out and about. First flight is a little scary even.
6. Main story pacing is off. While I liken the whole game to an anime series that has one overarching story but spend a lot of time fleshing out the universe in side stories, the problem is in XCX those main story 'episodes' feel rushed at times. Characters come in and get knocked out super quick and a lot doesn't get as fleshed out as it needs to be.
For a brief moment after the initial flight 'high' I felt slightly burnt out, like getting Flight had suddenly made the game far less interesting now that I could see all the crazy stuff easier... then I explored deeper into Noctilum, and elsewhere, and the love came right back.
One of the aspects about a crazy expansive game like XCX, with the myriad of systems and features is has, is that when one part falls short it doesn't bother me that much as there's always something else that makes up for it.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Hahaha that random Nopon NPC, apparently he spent his money on Miralife cards and now ends up having no cash and has to eat through garbage.
...what the hell are Miralife cards?
...what the hell are Miralife cards?
I saw some Nopon NPC lamenting how their children wanted nothing but rare cards and were wasting their parent's money, so presumably it's the latest rage in trading card games.
Maybe that's the real reason the Ganglion want Humans dead: To prevent the scourge of trading card games from destroying the universe!
You done goofed.
aw dang it
was hoping he'd later end up being tyrant food or something for being so greedy

Two quick questions GAF:
1.) Is there a way for me to wear stylish clothing while having good stats? I don't want all of my characters in full armor the entirety of the game. They'd look like Keyblade Masters then.
2.) My party (Elma, Lin, and Erina) and I are all around level 18-20. All of my arts are level 3-4. I haven't started chapter 5 yet. Should I change my class from the default class already?

Fashion Gear. Press X.

Ahh right, apparently this hobopon will start a sidequest chain involving said cards
...who knew the merchant race would fall prey to trading cards

Good news:
1. Fashion Gear is a thing
2. Arts are tied to weapons, not class and you get to use each class's weapons with any class once you max out that class.

Oh sweet! Gonna research fashion gear now. How do I know I've maxed out a class?

Ok, i want to get another lv. 50 Skell for Lin, what is better, the Lailah or Inferno? i see the former has better stats despite being slightly cheaper, or should i wait and buy a heavy one?
Level 10 is the max class. But you need to master the end branch (4th column) to be able to use the class-assigned weapons to other classes.
Inferno is the better of the two, I think. Or if you can save a little more, go for a true heavy type.
I do agree with this, I kind of miss some things from the previous game like having all the party members at once or them getting shared exp. but then I go out exploring or doing some random normal mission and then I get hooked again.
Each class maxes at Level 10 and when you finish a branch you can use those weapons and the arts associated with them in other classes letting you mix and match and create your own custom class.

So before postgame, does miranium really do much of anything besides refueling skells and developing AMs?
Augment slots? Depending if you really want to bother with them before the final chapter.
theprodigy

Yeah...I'll probably switch over to prioritizing money after maxing out the shops.
(I'm kind of curious how far in postgame you can get without crafting augments or equipment haha)
Finished chapter 12!
Have no intention to stop playing at all. Lots of affinity missions, normal missions. I need more Mira.
Final boss was wimp but I still can't defeat Rexoskell, lol. They should've let those guys run the operation instead.
Now to learn this online stuff while preparing for Ares 90.
