The Central Factory is an area in Xenoblade Chronicles on the Mechonis.

Geography

The Central Factory is located in the chest of the Mechonis, and is the primary manufacturing center for all kinds of Mechon. The Factory is reached by a lift at the upper end of Mechonis Field, and houses a transporter to Agniratha, the abandoned capital of Machina civilization, and the Apocrypha Generator. The region showcases a variety of facilities used for the manufacture of Mechon, from assembly to storage, built around a large central tower. Naturally, the place is utterly bristling with Mechon of all types. The Apocrypha Generator is located on the highest level of the factory, near where the area's main ventilation systems are located. The path through the generator also holds a transporter leading to the Mechonis Core.

Story

Joined by Vanea as a guide, the party travels through the Central Factory to reach Agniratha.

After Egil awakens the Mechonis, the party reenters the titan by flying Junks through a cooling duct on its back, landing near the Apocrypha Generator. As the party prepares to disembark, Shulk remarks on how his abilities have been changing, and whether or not it is right for them to be using the Monado. Later, as they set off, Shulk is suddenly overcome by a painful shocking effect. The party thinks that it was caused by the stress of compensating for the Apocrypha's effects on the Monado, similar to the effect the blade had on Dunban, but Shulk believes that the feeling is something different. Shulk continues to dwell on the Monado's power and the meaning of his dreams until he is reassured by Fiora.

As the party arrives at the Apocrypha Generator, they feel the Mechonis moving, and realize that Egil has started his assault on Bionis. Before they can proceed, they are then attacked by the core of the generator. Defeating the core, the generator shuts down, and the Monado develops a new power. The party then proceeds toward the Mechonis Core, Dickson and Alvis quietly remarking on how well Shulk is doing.
