Rescue the captive Zephyrites is an event that occurs in Prospect Valley inside the Abandoned Mine during the hourly Crash Site meta event in Dry Top. The event appears 5 minutes after the sandstorm subsides (ie. 5 after the hour) and will repeat at 20 and 35 minutes if the event has not succeeded. Zephyrites have been taken captive by the Inquest within the mine and must be rescued before the Inquest regain control of the gate. If successful, the mine will remain open until more Inquest arrive with a Champion N4-SR golem to lock down their base. Failure to rescue the captives before time runs out will remove players from the mine, and the gate will remain locked until the next occurence.

Walkthrough

Destroying Inquest Containment Pods to release the captive Zephyrite inside will spawn Aspect crystals that can be used to reach further into the mine. Use   Lightning Pull to cross the quicksand if gliding or mounts are not unlocked, and   Light Dash to pass through the yellow force-field gates (invisible walls prevent going over them). The Inquest do not need to be cleared out in order to complete the event, so focus on releasing the captives before time runs out.

Notes

• If the event succeeds and the mine remains open, the following [Group Event] Defeat the champion N4-SR before the Inquest can lock down their base (80) will occur at each subsequent time slot during the meta until the Inquest regain control of the mine. If the initial rescue attempt at xx:05 succeeds, the Inquest will arrive at xx:20. As such, the rescue event will not repeat during the same meta if the mine remains unlocked.
