Complete The Ether Mine: Chapter 5 quests in xenoblade chronicles definitive edition, including The Lost Nopon, With Much Gratitude, and The Plan - Execution.
After Juju is taken to Colony 6, you gain full access to Bionis' Leg. It's recommended to clear remaining quests in this area and Colony 9, as some Refugee Camp quests become missable. Return to Spiral Valley Landmark and head west to Traveller’s Rest to find Gerugu, who offers the quest The Lost Nopon.

- 2Fast travel to the southern end of Raguel Bridge.
- 3Locate the large ether deposit on the base level of the lake in the northwest portion of Raguel Lake.
- 4Batubatu will be on the cliff directly above the ether deposit. Approach this cliff from the south to avoid level 70+ enemies.

- 6Return to Gerugu to complete the quest.
- 7After completing The Lost Nopon, Batubatu will offer With Much Gratitude.
- 8You need to find a Tokilos’ Egg and a Pandora Mushroom.

- 10For the Pandora Mushroom, travel to the northern end of Raguel Bridge and head northeast to Windy Cave.
- 11Navigate Windy Cave carefully, walking slowly near Arachnos and Pandora Pods to avoid aggro. The mushroom is in a cave to the south in the central part, guarded by Pandora Pods and the Unique Monster Mysterious Barnaby (an Arachno).
