Elysium

Elysium is a location in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It is allegedly a paradise located at the top of the World Tree. Pyra and Mythra's main motivation is to find and reach Elysium, with Rex vowing to protect and escort them as their Driver. The Aegis and their drivers are able to access an imaginary version of Elysium based on their memories. This version is seen several times throughout the game, with the real version seen towards the end of the game.

Landscape and Appearance
The dream version of Elysium is nothing more than a small, grassy field with a single tree in the center. A wide blue sky with white, puffy clouds are overhead.

The real Elysium is a lifeless, desolate city environment with destroyed buildings and a crumbling infrastructure.

Story
In the year 20XX, Elysium functioned as a residential area for the researchers on the First Low Orbit Station. After Klaus activated the Conduit, the inhabitants of the station were flung into distant dimensions and Elysium became a lifeless wasteland.

Millennia later, Amalthus is the first to climb the World Tree, but he found Elysium empty, aside from Malos and Mythra's Core Crystals in which he took as proof that he reached the so-called divine realm.

Five-hundred years later, Rex was transported to a memory of Elysium after being killed by Jin. There, he meets Pyra who requests him to take her to the real Elysium in exchange for bringing him back to life.

Malos later appears in Pyra's dream of Elysium revealing that he kidnapped Cole's adopted daugher, Iona. He then tells her to come alone to the site of her awakening: Olethro Ruins to save Iona.
