Information

Ido Front (前線基地 (イドフロント) , Forward Operating Base?) (fan translation: Idofront) is a research station located at the bottom of the 5th Layer.[1][2] It is the deepest a person can go and still survive the The Curse of the Abyss.[3] It is the place where White Whistle Delvers begin their Last Dive.[4]

Its main purpose is as a gateway into the 6th Layer. Its center, the Altar of the Absolute Boundary, acts as an elevator through the Sea of Corpses, and it can only be activated by the sound of a White Whistle.[5][6][7]

History[]

Long ago, Ido Front was a ritual site. The rituals, as well as preparations made for the rituals, were held here.[5][8] It has since been transformed into Bondrewd's main base of operations, since approximately 10 years ago.[9] Here, he conducted experiments resulting in technology to combat the Curse, albeit at a cost.[10]

Nanachi, Mitty, and other children were brought to Ido Front to fulfill roles as his test subjects. It is also here where Nanachi and Mitty were transformed into Narehate, after ascending from the Miniature Garden Of Dawn.[11]

Prushka, Bondrewd's adopted daughter, was raised here, before being turned into a Cartridge and subsequently a Life-reverberating Stone.[12][13]

The base is supplied by a Transportation Vessel which travels along a direct route from Orth into the 5th Layer.[14]

Trivia[]

  • The cylindrical structure above the Ido Front is a pillar of frost called a "Water Bastion". It is suspended in place by The Force Field.[15][16][17]
  • Based on a comment from Majikaja stating that Nanachi is a Narehate of the "old ritual site", it is possible that the rituals that took place at Ido Front long ago involved an individual receiving the Blessing. How the Blessing was achieved by the ancient people is unknown.[18]
  • The crystals formed at this self-regenerating ritual site, which are seen during Ganja's travel on the path leading to the Altar of the Absolute Boundary, are said to be the accretion of excess residue during the healing process. Yet, in Riko's day and age, the place has been neatly cleaned up.[19]
