Easier to Find Escape Pods in Area 2

In both the Hell Rift and Demon Gate Labyrinth, the 2nd Area usually has Escape Pods near the central unique structure. Pods are easier to locate in the 2nd Area than in the 1st Area.
Tips! | Drops occur more quickly in the 1st Area, but its larger size makes searching more difficult compared to the 2nd Area. |

How to Farm SPLithiumOnly One Person per Escape Pod

Only one person can evacuate using a specific Escape Pod. If another Raider gets there first, you'll have to move to a new Escape Pod. If other Raiders are nearby, you can either defeat them and evacuate, or keep your distance and wait for the next opportunity.
Defeat Bosses to Evacuate

When you defeat a boss like a Dreamseeker, 1 to 2 Escape Pods will appear. It is recommended to use these to escape after defeating the boss.
