“The expedition's quest to reach the headquarters of the Students of Baldesion at the center of the isle continues, and to that end they have relocated to a new base camp to utilize an ancient proto-aetheryte. Yet as they venture further north into a network of caves hidden within the massive mountains, frozen tundra gives way to smoldering lava: Pyros, a new region replete with new wonders and new threats...

Enemies
In Pyros and the next zone, The Forbidden Land, Eureka Hydatos, regular enemies receive a passive enhancement based on their element. These enhancements apply regardless of the elemental level difference between the player and enemy.
- Wind: Higher evasion, causing your attacks to miss more often. Arguably the most annoying since it breaks combos. Can be countered with Feint L.
- Fire: Higher damage.
- Ice: Higher HP.
- Lightning: Paralysis immune.
- Water: Stun immune.
- Earth: Heavy immune.
FATE enemies may not necessarily have these enhancements. For example, the Karlabos of Pyros in We're All Mad Here is vulnerable to Stun despite being water elemental.
Eureka Pyros FATEs
Similar to Eureka Pagos, Pyros contains two elemental conflict (i.e., Happy Bunny) FATEs in addition to notorious monster (NM) battles.
Among notorious monster battles, Thirty Whacks, Haunter of the Dark, and Heavens' Warg are of particular interest, because they have a very low chance of dropping three items: Lamebrix's Dice, Ying-Yang's Tissue, and Skoll's Claw, respectively, that together can be exchanged at the Expedition Engineer to unlock a sixth magicite in the Magia Board. These items can be sold for a premium on the Market Board. Because of their high value, some players may not wait for others to arrive before pulling them once they spawn. To maximize's one's chances of earning rewards, be near the FATE spawn area a few minutes before its cooldown resets. Heavens' Warg (Skoll) also has a weather requirement. It is recommended to use a tracker if available for the instance. Some Eureka-oriented Discord servers have weather window notifications for Heavens' Warg (the cooldown is instance-specific).
The enemies required to spawn Skoll (Pyros Shuck) are a ways away from the actual FATE area. As a precaution in case the NM is early pulled before players who assisted with the prep arrive, some players will opt to prep the NM well in advance of the weather transitioning to Blizzards.
Happy Bunnies
Pyros is also home to many a happy bunny. As a reward for saving them from imminent peril, happy bunnies will help you find hidden treasure on the island.
In Eureka Pyros, the southern FATE We're All Mad Here has treasure locations in the southern, lower-leveled region of the zone. The northern FATE Uncommon Nonsense has treasure locations in the northern, higher-leveled region of the zone. Most players will ignore the northern FATE due to the treasure locations being surrounded by high level enemies that will aggro to even elemental level capped players, making the treasure hunt a nuisance.
