Bionis' Shoulder

The Bionis’ Shoulder is the main area of Future Connected, and was originally a test area for developers in the original game. It was originally the left shoulder of the Bionis, but was detached after the events in the story of the main game. While you can freely explore not that far into the story of Future Connected, it isn’t until you have access to Gran Dell that you can get all of the Landmarks and Locations. Most of the Locations/Landmarks are easy enough to get to, but some of them might be a little confusing.

To get to Agni’s Skygarden Ruins, you have to go around the right side of that piece of land and there should be a tunnel. This leads to the Old King’s Testament Landmark. Look by the entrance to spot some fallen pillars, which you need to climb to reach the Skygarden Ruins. For the next part, head to Thulles Way and begin venturing north. This should put you on the path to reach a bunch of Locations, such as Fyme Lane, Gamaro Hollow, Forbidden Hushland and eventually, Zekr Marga Quarry (you also get the Quarry Colonnade landmark). The Old Expedition HQ landmark can be a bit tricky. From Gamaro Hollow, follow the northern wall and you should discover a ramp that leads to the landmark.

The last section that can be confusing is the central area of the map. You should discover Xen’s Thoroughfare automatically as you go through the main story of FC. Go west from there and south to get Shoulderstone Scree, as well as Abaasy’s Dorsum. Return to Xen’s Thoroughfare and head north this time. One of the pieces of land holding up the central structure is a ramp leading to the top of that central structure. Once you’re on it, go south to get Lamentation Ridge and all the way to the very southern tip is Cloudtop Lookout. The only other troublesome spot is Eternal Zenith, at the very top of Gran Dell. You’ll have to do some minor platforming to get there, but it’s nothing too crazy.

Fogbeast Normal Enemies

After a certain point in the main story of Future Connected, you will find that some enemies have been converted to Fogbeasts. These enemies are always sight-aggro, usually higher leveled than their normal counterparts, and drop silver chests. They will also send out a surge upon starting a battle, aggroing any other nearby enemies and increasing their level to the Fogbeast’s own level.
