Sapphire Ridge is a location in CrossWorlds. It is an area of caves and bamboo forests with Japanese-influenced architecture that can be found on the east half of the Croissant. It is a high-level area that can only be accessed after obtaining all four Elements. The area closely resembles the Old Hideout area from the prologue, and is likely connected to it.

Sapphire Ridge
Sapphire Ridge is a system of hills located to the east of Shadoon. It's covered in eternal night by a strange weather phenomenon that is currently researched by the United Voyager Nation. Many years ago miners carved deep into the hills to unearth the valuable Cobalt Ore. Although not much was found, the miners uncovered many hidden paths that lead to the north of the area. Otherwise Sapphire Ridge is rather rural as most paths lead through the cave-systems up Ascension Temple. The south houses a hostel called the Cave Inn, which counts among the oldest structures build by humans on Shadoon.
