The History of Mechonis

Client: Zilex
Rewards: 15000G, 11000 EXP, Paralysis IV
Affinity: None

This quest can be activated as soon as you have access to Mechonis Field. Zilex will ask you to fetch 4 Memory 925 Pieces from the Mechonis Field. The first Memory 925 Piece can be found on the Ground Floor on a lower platform in the east. The second piece is on the 1st Floor near the Ether Deposit. To reach it you must head up onto a higher level via a climbing wall. The third is located in the Ether Gear Store on the Third Floor. To reach the Ehter Gear Store, you must use the Cylinder Activation Panel near the 3F Main Power Switch so you can make your way to the lower level. Once you’re there you will need to head over to the climbable wall and climb up to a small platform that has a connecting bridge over to the Ether Gear Store. Guarding the Memory Piece will be several Mechon enemies of varying levels, you will likely need to defeat them to reach the memory piece. The fourth and final memory piece is the trickiest to reach. Once you have opened the large doors east of the Lower Bulkhead Bridge landmark, follow the path going north. Climb up the wall on the right then head over to the metal grate at the end of the ledge and let it push you up into the sky with its steam. Follow the path upwards until you reach the 4th Floor, continuing to climb paths and using steam where you need to. You should, by now, see the top of the large slide ramp. You’ll have to slide down it, stopping wherever you can on the platforms, around half way down you’ll come across the Secret Area, Great Battle Scar. This will thankfully give you a landmark that you can fast travel back to should you fall and take too much fall damage. On one of the platforms a little further down is the final Memory Piece. Once you have all four, you may return to Zilex in the Hidden Village to complete the quest.

Activating the Cylinder Activation Panel will allow you to reach the lower level of the third floor.
