Elysian Fields is an optional story mission in Episode 5.
Mission Summary[]
A distress signal was picked up, originating on Elysion. Zaxtor must return to Elysion with the new stellar portal, and rescue some remaining EDF scientists.
Gameplay[]
Grab some supplies, including the double jump boots. You can talk to some friendly NPCs here. Go to the huge statue and climb up to get the elder key. Use it nearby and use the now working jump pad to leap to the next floating island (Note: You will still need to move when in the air). Here you need to destroy 3 statues to activate the next jump pad:
- Behind the castle is breakable doors to the basement. Hit the gong and destroy the first statue.
- Inside the bamboo grove, guarded by some Guardians (pun not intended).
- There's a climbable wall on the right side of the front entrance of the castle walls. Watch out for a Kappa.
On the next floating island (the egyptian-themed one), cross a wooden bridge. You can find a key around 4 pillars. Head back and use it to open the first building. There's a Water Serpent at the bottom of the building. Kill it to disable the forcefield blocking the room with the next key. Watch out for Selkises on your way back. Use the key outside to teleport to the next island.
On this mushroom island, head to the center to find a brick of C4, a Troll and some other enemies guarding it. Find a cave and use the C4 to blow up a wall here. Near the bottom of the giant red mushroom is the heart key. Beware, as grabbing it will spawn a Wryxhokedon monster (or even two on high difficulty levels) to attack you. Go back outside and use the key on top of one of the hills. Now leap to a smaller island (not the red one). You may need to double jump to reach it.
Talk to the scientists and get the cloverleaf key. Leap to the red island. Kill all abyssal demons on this island and talk to the Engineer AI in the black building. Now head through the portal.
Secrets[]
There are 8 secrets in Elysian Fields:
- On the Egyptian island, one of the pyramids has a crack on it. Inside you will find a rotatery bolt and some mana.
- The top of the giant red mushroom has armour and a vorpal sword.
Weapons & Artifacts[]
- Rotary Shotgun (Weapon, Zaxtor): On the floating island where the scientists are, check the broken flyer for a briefcase with this weapon.
- Gauss Pistol (Weapon, Snowfall): In the same place.
Other Items of Interest[]
You can jump down from the second island (Shadow Realm-themed one) to another one. Here you can find a slot 7 weapon and ammo for it, a super armour and a megasphere (and also some Makaras underwater).
