78 xenoblade - riding the steel beams to proceed through the central pit

Dear Readers,

We continued descending into the Central Pit. On Level 3 we crossed a bridge to the side of the mine and fought a tough M82 Mechon. This one was able to knock me down and make me dazed. In the first attempt we lost because Reyn and Sharla ran off to fight other Mechon further along the platform for some reason and they all got involved in the fight. No wonder we lost.

On the second attempt I lured it away on its own so that wouldn't happen again. It was LV23 and although we were LV26 it was still quite tough! We took our time and we were able to defeat it.

Mining was a good thing to do here and got us experience points and achievements like Titan's Generosity and Medium Rare. We didn't mine them all though. At least not now anyway.

We followed the path to another elevator going down, making a landmark down at B3F. The only way forward from here was going on top of the revolving beams coming from the steel pillar. We rode one to another platform on the side of the mine.

Then something branched out from the pillar, slamming down near us. From this dropped a Mechon M84 that was LV24. We were LV27. We picked a fight with it. We won handily enough.

Then we got on the beam again and rode it to another platform further ahead. The arm came out again, dropping two Mechon M84 this time. One was LV24 and the other LV23. This battle was eventful and a bit difficult! I got several visions where I had to warn the others and do heals and buffs before disaster could strike. Our health got very low but we were able to pull off a hard fought victory.

There was another platform ahead reachable by the steel beam method but instead we went through a passage that led to another elevator, this one being one of the type that goes up and down a hill. We rode it all the way down.
