Drake Island Cave 1

11 kinds of wild Nexomon can turn up here, counting the earlier stages of what it lists, which the game adds by itself. The table gives your chance of meeting each, at each stage of the story that changes it. How the game picks which one jumps out is on the Locations page.

Helipa, Glimoory, Roclas, Calplex and Ignigon only join after you beat Jin in Magma Grotto Town, in the main quest Tyrant Mulcimer. Custom Mode can let them in from the start.

The story adds rare ones here too:

• Hyphoon and Divette, once you've completed the side quest The Extinction Project.
• 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.

4 ore boulders are 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.
