Old Mine

The Old Mine is Mainz's original mine, situated just outside the village.

=== Background ===
In its prime, the Old Mine was Crossbell's economical keystone, producing valuable Septium crystals that contributed to Erebonia and Calvard's struggle over the state.
The mine has been abandoned for decades by the point the Special Support Section visit it, having been replaced by the newer Mainz Mine. After their reformation following the arrest of Ernest Reis and Hartmann, the gate to the mine was destroyed and monsters appeared from it. Not only that, the mine itself seemed to be altered, giving out an abnormal glow.
When the SSS enter the mine, they are immediately trapped inside by an explosion that collapses the entrance. Heading deeper into the mines to look for an alternate exit, they instead find a powerful monster, debilitating them until Randy Orlando and Zeit return to help them. After defeating the strange monster, the mine's gate is rebuilt, with Mayor Bickson giving the SSS a key.
The Old Mine is accessed again when the SSS pursue Randy after he leaves to fight the Red Constellation on his own, who have taken control of the Mainz region. Randy descends into an auxiliary tunnel that connects with the mine with the rest of the SSS on his trail, finally finding him just outside the entrance battling with the jaegers and Shirley Orlando.
If Clear Data from a previous has been loaded, the red gate will be open in the Finale, giving access to a secret area where a strong monster awaits.
