Hillwen Mine

Description

The largest deposit of Hillwen Ore located in the back of Floor B3 of the Hillwen Mines. This will only drop Hillwen Ore Fragments.

Northwest of Vales is the Hillwen Mine. It is said that the ancestors of the Giants used ancient technology created from Hillwen Mine to combat their enemies. Here, players can drill into its vast resources and use engineering to obtain materials needed to create Dual Guns and other various tools.

According to Dr. Lambert's theory, the appearance of Hillwen Mine is the result of geographical changes caused by the Irinid's Curse breaking, which supposedly happened after Generation 8 and before The Saga: Iria.

To enter the mine's depths, speak with the Elevator Guard. However, this NPC, along with others, will not be present during the first 5 Episodes (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) of The Saga: Iria.

Powerful and dangerous emerald monsters also lurk within the deep depths of the mine. These monsters, with the exception of the Emerald Bison, are not affected by elemental Reforges. Emerald Golems can be found resting in the deepest part of the mines, caution is advised when approaching.

Unlike other locations of Iria, Hillwen Mine has background music, with the exception of the Mine Entrance.

Tips for surviving B3

Go with others!
If going with others is not possible, remain as stealthy as possible. The detection monsters have for spotting you is limited, so you can sneak between crevices and get hillwen ore. If you get spotted by a monster (or monsters, if you're rather unlucky), it has been discovered that you can counterattack the monster on its final sliver of health to prevent another monster from immediately spawning.
If there is a crevice you can go into to evade monster detection, but it is guarded by monsters, try utilizing Hide if you're an Elf class, or Crisis Escape, Playing dead if you are a human. Humans will have a harder time accomplishing this feat. Shadow Cloak from Ninja skill works too.
