Into the Hollow. The Chronos Empire Strikes Back. Volume 2/Diamond Mining
Diamond Mining is additional side content for the Miu world. Once you've gained access to exploring the Ipusian Ocean, the eastern edge of the first continent holds a landmark: the Chronos Empire Excavation Site.
Inside, the Imperial Soldier will remind Velette of her debt to the empire, and she can help by assisting them in harvesting Parasite Diamonds. However, you will first need to retrieve some parts from the depths of the Excavation Site before you can begin this task. Open the doors with the console and explore the Excavation Site.
Once you have retrieved the parts, the Imperial Soldier will outfit the Guilty Hades with a radar function, which can mark ore veins on the minimap in various parts of the overworld. After scanning, the marked areas take the form of blue circles on the minimap, indicating the area where the ore vein could be found. Some ore veins are located in secret rooms which are only accessible after scanning.
Ore veins can be harvested as blue sparkles, and will yield either Poor, Fine, or Dazzling Ore. If you have any units with the Miner Personality, they will increase the ore yield. After you've discovered an ore vein, it will be marked on the minimap as Mine icons on revisits.
The main objective is to clear Velette's debt of 30 million credits, or 3000 10K Bonds. Bringing Ores to the Imperial Soldier at the Excavation Site allows him to determine the size of Parasite Diamond within the ore, and then deduct the diamonds' total value from Velette's debt accordingly. After clearing her debt, you gain an achievement, but you can continue to mine and appraise ores to achieve additional rewards.
