Spirit Crucible Elpys (Japanese: エルピス霊洞, Erupisu Reidō) is an area in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It lies within the main Titan of the Leftherian Archipelago, that resides within the great cloud barrier, and is only accessible from the Village Guardian of Fonsett Island, and a Leftherian is needed to open the entrance.
The lack of Ether in the air inside the Titan weakens Blades, preventing Max Affinity to be reached and for Blade Specials higher than level 1 to be charged. This effect does not apply to artificial Blades such as the various forms of Poppi, including Poppibuster, as well as to Shulk, Fiora, and Elma, who are not Blades. The Spirit Crucible Elpys is also the place of rest of Addam.
Story[]
Xenoblade Chronicles 2[]
Addam and Pyra sealing away the Third Aegis Sword
According to Addam, the Spirit Crucible Elpys took origin in the Kingdom of Torna, as he refers to it as the "royal Spirit Crucible in Leftheria."
In the aftermath of the Aegis War, Addam, the hero of the Kingdom of Torna, sealed the third Aegis Sword in the Spirit Crucible Elpys, so that only someone worthy of wielding it could get to it. He then proceeded to seal Pyra in the Ancient Ship, and spent the rest of his days in Fonsett Village, leaving Azurda with the task of looking over the Spirit Crucible.
After being easily defeated by Jin, with Pyra being taken away, Rex and the party are lead to the Spirit Crucible by Azurda and Eulogimenos with the objective of retrieving the lost sword in order to defeat Jin and Malos and rescue Pyra.
After successfully reaching the lowest part of the Spirit Crucible, the party is confronted by Addam's Phantasms as a final trial. During the battle, Nia reveals herself to be a Blade, and lends her strength to Rex. Accepting Rex as a worthy Driver of the Aegis, a memory of Addam himself meets him in the dream of Elysium, and proceeds to reveal the sword. However, the sword vanishes when Rex holds it. But, not bothered by this, as he now knew what he had to do, Rex proceeds to use his connection to Pyra to lead the party to the Cliffs of Morytha, and the party goes there to confront Jin and Malos and rescue Pyra.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3[]
When Z used Origin to create Aionios, the remnants of Spirit Crucible Elpys make up parts of the Erythia Sea. The remains of the Leftherian Titan that housed it became the Lavi Sandbar, with the Vault of Heroes appearing as the Place of Heroes Past. The individual pillars from the Chamber of Pillars have been relocated to different locations around the Erythia Sea, with their remnants being found at the First Pillar Remnant, Second Pillar Remnant, Third Pillar Remnant, Fourth Pillar Remnant and Fifth Pillar Remnant landmarks.

Etymology[]
Elpys is likely derived from Elpis, the Greek personification of Hope, one of the theological virtues (Latin Spes), and corresponding to the seven heavenly virtue of "Patience", that is opposed to the name of Torna alluding to the seven deadly sins wrath or Ira in Latin.
Trivia[]
- Azurda claims that many others have ventured inside Spirit Crucible Elpys and have not returned. However, the entrance to the Spirit Crucible is first opened by Rex, and there are no other entrances other than through the village guardian. From this it can be assumed that the entrance can be closed.
