Xenoblade Chronicles 12

It's Night time, and we are going to the mines, undercover.
Collectopaedia got smaller, meaning we can add less to it, it does make sense though, that there are less new Items as we gather more, and have more.
Collected Verdant Eternity, it's a leaf that doesn't wither.
Alright, let's use the Elevator!
There is an Ocean below us, and the Mechonis glows Red at nights.
A few Cyan butterflies with two big yellow dots on their wings.
Amblygon Turtle to help the Colony, that's one Item that should be kept, some quest in the future will require it.
Defeated an Antol, and it gave a gold treasure chest, with Crystal Antol Eye, Calm Shot, Empress Arms and Empress Greaves!
That was Red Antol.
Empress equipment is a Heavy type equipment, so we can't use it yet.
There are two paths, one going up, and the other goes straight, sort of.
The path that leads a little down, has a good Ether collecting source.
Yeah, the straight road leads to a Wind Ether Deposit site, while going up leads to the Mines.
Collected Large Wind Crystals.
Finally had a battle with a Sky Rhogul, it's a Giant bird, that flies too far away for us to reach, and it's hard to Lure them too!
Another Rhogul, great!
When we got higher, leaves started flying everywhere, wonder from where...
Got another Amblygon Turtle.
Added White Night Rod to Collectopaedia and thus, received Ether Def Up II.
We entered the Drainage Tunnel, let's see what we can find.
Dirty water, and that's also to be expected, move on...
Met Nopons in the Tunnel, one of them said to follow the glowmoss, and the other is a merchant, who can sell us equipment.
I guess, we have enough money to buy all the Items...
Okay, Sharla will have, a Pelt Cap with Ether Cloak.
There is a Stealth Rifle at the shop, it has good attack, yet has 0 Critical Rate, which makes it less useful.
Pelt Shoes are good...
We can now equip heavy armour, Reyn learned the skill for it.
The Empress armour does look heavy, and it's Golden!
We won't be needing heavy armour at this point though.
Let's clear the Mine of those Mechon!
Probably will see a large amount of Ether Deposits at the Mine.
Got into the fight with the Mechon, just three of 'em.
Mechon shoots electric charges...
Defeated a Krabble, it left a golden treasure chest, which had Empress Plate and Bloody Roar, as well as a Rich Krabble Egg and a Small Krabble Crystal!
And now I get what the Nopon was saying about the glowmoss, as we enter the mine, there are walls that glow green, and we should follow the path that leaves to the next green glowing area.
You know Reyn, with heavy armor like that, you do look like a Mechon!
Gave Sharla the Medium armour, leaving the Cap light, and it looks good, should protect her well.
We found an old man who is fighting the Mechon with his rifle, and it seems the Mechon got him cornered, we should help him!
This is the test for our new protective gear, although there are quite a few Mechon here, still no powerful ones, so we should be fine...
All the Colony 6 people that were captured by the Mechon were taken to the center of the Ether Mine, it's called the Central Pit.
So, we need to get to the Central Pit, to save Juju and the others.
And furthermore, need to consider the old man, Shulk had a vision of him falling into the pit, or should say Ether Pit!
