Dark Woods Lake Border

9 kinds of wild Nexomon can turn up here. The table gives your chance of meeting each, for each of its 4 encounter areas. How the game picks which one jumps out is on the Locations page.

The story adds rare ones here too:

• Fane, once you've completed the main quests Grandmaster Promotion and Destroy Vados and then talked to the Admin in Guild Lobby, in Guild Entrance. It stops once you own one, until you take Eliza up on her offer after the story.
• Divette and Gradow, once you've completed the side quest The Extinction Project.
• Mystogen and Krainnull, once you've completed the main quest Destroy Vados and taken Eliza up on her offer in Hilda's Room.
• The wardens, Darine and Titan, once you've completed the main quest Resurrect Bolzen, as anywhere outside Precursor Valley. Each stops once you own one, until you take Eliza up on her offer after the story.

When they turn up, they take a share of the encounters, so the chances in the table drop a little.

One ore boulder is here. Breaking one takes a Pickaxe or the Ultra Pickaxe. An ore boulder gives one of the eight elemental shards at random, or more with the Ultra Pickaxe.

A mined boulder comes back after 900 to 1,200 seconds of play, or 600 to 900 for ore with the Miner's Goggles.
