471 xenoblade - hiking down the snowy valak mountain

Dear Readers,

We got to Valak Mountain and it was very very cold with snow all around. Reyn and Riki weren't thrilled with it at all. Alvis directed us to a tower in this area.

We chatted with some Nopon Merchants who set up camp near the entrance to this area. They had directions, a shop and a bunch of Monster Quests. We agreed to take on all four of these quests.

At a glance, there was a lot of snow, a lot of thick grey icy mist and a very steep slope going downwards. The Nopon told us to keep going and meet some of their researcher friends, clearing monsters along the way.

We got the first monster quest done and dusted quickly, which was nice.

As day turned to night, the tall ice crystals emitted this really cool ray of light straight up into the air, making the snowy areas glow.

We then got the third monster quest done, which was nice too.

I made room in the inventory for the Lucky Chilkin Ring, which gave me a vision of a future quest for Oleksiy and Zel. We'll have to get two of them. Melia was in the vision.

It was fun hiking down this mountain and the music was a soft piano tune. We reached the next landmark, Hollow Bone. There was a Nopon patrolling here who directed us towards the tunnel nearby. We'll go there next time.

This Nopon research team kind of reminds me of Captain Toad and his team. In any case, it's really nice to see a new area in the game after so long.
