When you reach the oilwell basin youll notice the whole area operates on a pretty strict cycle timing is super crucial here. The firespring phase kicks in with clear warning signs first the ground rumbles then you see magma bubbles about 3 seconds before full eruption so position yourself near those rocky outcrops for safety. During eruptions the ajarakan and rompopolo get really aggressive specially when the lava flows redirect their usual paths, watch for their tail swipes which come out faster than normal.

The whole ecosystem shifts depending on where you are in the cycle like during fallow periods youll spot quematrice hanging around the lower valleys, but the moment firespring starts they move to those elevated platforms near the geysers. Really interesting how the nerscylla interact with gravios during eruptions they actually time their cleaning behavior with the ash falls, and if you watch closely youll notice they only approach from the monsters left side.

Getting the timing down for each phase transition is key cause endemic life patterns change completely. When you see those specific mushroom clusters starting to glow its about 45 seconds till firespring hits giving you just enough time to either set up camp or clear out. The plenty phase is probably your best window for gathering specially around those newly cooled lava formations where rare materials tend to spawn just keep an eye on the yian kut-ku they get territorial around fresh mineral deposits.
