Whew, so I just finished this Skies Under Cradle mission, and it takes forever. This is probably the longest and maybe even most boring mission ever, though it gives you a lot of heat to upgrade your gear and crowns. I think this mission is boring because even though there is a lot of monsters, all of them are weak and there is no boss. This mission forces you to explore a really big world (big for a regular mission that is). However, there are lots of new things that didn't exist in previous missions.
The first new thing is that before you take the elevator down, there used to be items in the area my character is standing above that gives you one extra health. However, starting with this mission, those will be gone and replaced with a vendor, who sells a lot of stuff you can use for the mission. However, everything he sells costs crowns, so I don't think it's worth it.
The next new thing is big crystal chunks in the map. I personally have no idea what they do, but when you attack it, it drops a fragment that you can carry around. I don't think it ever gives you any bonuses and I've tried carrying one of those to the finish elevator and they don't go into your arsenal. If you know what they are for, please white a comment below.
This mission also has a new kind of gate. This gate requires you to give three energy to open. Even though it is not required in the mission to open these gates, they usually give you a good amount of XP or crowns. So behind this gate, there are nine stone cannon monsters that appear, along with healers. Because of the healers, it is very hard to kill any of the cannons with a gun, so I recommend using a sword and just go up to the cannons and slash them. You may die once or twice, but the cannons give quite a lot of XP. Behind the nine cannons you will also find four green and pink blocks that give you stuff. I'm not sure if it's worth three energy, but to defeat all nine cannons is the only challenging and fun part of the mission.
Even though this has never before appeared, a monster that I killed dropped a very rare item. It is called a Mecha Knight Kit. Apparently, when you use the item, it spawns a helper, as shown above. The helper can't ride the elevators with you (I don't mean take the helper to Haven, but because this mission requires you to take the elevator twice, that's how I know).
So the last thing about this mission is that there are lots of plants as shown above, and be sure to attack all of them because they drop crowns and hearts, so destroy all of them. That's pretty much it. The rest of the mission is straight forward exploring until you find the elevator. There are actually two elevators. After you find the first, it leads you down to another level. You can choose to go back to to Haven, but never do that! You will have to redo the entire first part of the mission over. So After you go down the first elevator, keep exploring and you'll find the second elevator. Then you finished the mission.
