71 xenoblade - exploring the rest of upper bionis' leg

Dear Readers,

We took the warp to Spiral Valley where Juju got kidnapped. Right there on the platform in front of us was an enormous mandrill-like creature! It was a LV90 Immovable Gonzalez. What a sight! We had no business going anywhere near it of course, so we went in the opposite direction.

We explored this area to the north and found the Zax Guidepost. There were Tirkins and many marsh dwelling enemies around here like brogs. To the east on their own cliff platforms were gigantic blue birds called Leg Tokilos. We didn't bother with these LV79 creatures.

We went southwest and discovered Traveller's Rest. We met a Nopon there named Gerugu who lost his friend Batubatu, who went to look for ingredients for dinner. We agreed to help look for him.

For a place called Traveller's Rest it was pretty treacherous. Big holes everywhere so you gotta be careful where you step. We didn't explore anywhere below in these holes yet.

Near here was a small blue water ether deposit. We mined some.

We explored north and found the Trainer Harmelon. This was a Tirkin that had two bigger creatures to fight alongside it. We were able to defeat them all without too much trouble. Another quest done! Yay!

We went further north a bit and found a narrow path along a ledge. It led all the way to a cave with Tirkin standing guard in front of it. They didn't take much notice of us and didn't mind us going past them into the cave.

The cave was a long passage with an upward slope that led outside to an area called the Believer's Paradise. We got an all new fanfare I never heard before and we got an achievement called "Explorer" for discovering a secret area for the first time! Nice!

There was a heart-to-heart here as well but it wasn't available yet.

This area was right next to one of the waterfalls so we jumped right down into the water. It was fun. We explored the remainder of this mapped area by heading down towards the other waterfall, which had the marker for Kasharpa Falls. We swam towards this waterfall and found a red item called Kasharpa Water. We didn't have a quest for this but there might be one soon.

We left the area south through the big gateway and got to the Colony 6 area. It looked like a big fortress to us. Sharla said she'd lead us there through the mines underneath the colony so we could be discreet.
