In Armored Core 6, you can make your AC setup just the way you like it since you have a lot of options for customizing both your weapons and armor. While many parts become available as you complete missions, others are hidden in chests in unique areas. One specific sought-after set is the Ephemera set. It's a really strong set, but you won't find it early in the game.
The catch here is that each part of this set is scattered across different missions. They're usually hidden away pretty well, so you'll have to do some searching to find them. If you've been exploring thoroughly, you might be lucky enough to have come this far.
How To Find All Ephemera Parts
In order to obtain the Ephemera Parts, you have to advance in the game until you reach Chapter Four where you can start finding the hidden parts.
There are four parts in total (Head, Core, Arms, and Legs) and each one is hidden in a different mission.
To simplify things, here's a table that shows the mission name and location for each Ephemera Part needed to complete the full Ephemera Set:
Ephemera Part | Mission | Where To Find |
|---|---|---|
IA-C01L: EPHEMERA (Legs) | Underground Exploration – Depth 1 | After taking the elevator, go down the underground shaft, and when you reach the point where the shaft closes off, you'll see a quest marker in an inside room. The chest will be in the back of this same room. |
IA-C01A: EPHEMERA (Arms) | Hidden Part Container #2 in this mission. During the main road after passing a sewer-like entrance and getting launched by the Catapult; the chest will be right in front of you. | |
IA-C01C: EPHEMERA (Core) | Hidden Part Container #2 in this mission. Located at the rear of the reactor, at the end of a bridge, following the MT required for the Combat Log. | |
IA-C01H: EPHEMERA (Head) | Unknown Territory Survey | Once the mission begins, you'll enter a cave area; keep moving forward, and just before you leave the cave, you can't miss the chest on your left. |
You must complete the mission first before using the part since simply locating it won't grant you access to it.
