The Jewel of Life (also known as the Life Beads) is a fixed salvage in Endless Ocean that can be found in the Underwater Ruins of Mo'ia Atoll. It makes an orca appear in Ship's Rest.

In-Game[]

Footlocker Description[]


Location[]

Jewel of Life 1

The player will receive an email after charting 80-90% of the overworld map that will trigger the appearance of the Jewel. There are three crudely-carved stone faces in the Underwater Ruins of Mo'ia Atoll, at map coordinates I-5 and a depth of 16m, or 52ft. In front of the middle face is a zoom-mode patch that is home to the Jewel.

Post Discovery[]

After the player has picked up the jewel and returned to the boat, Katherine will say the following:

"You found the Jewel of Life? This strange little stone is actually a gem. It was a popular accessory in ancient Japan. Ancient Pelagoans also used a similar accessory. There’s actually a legend about them. It goes like this... Long ago, there was a goddess of storms and battles. And she had many priestesses who served her. They all wore jewels like the one you just found. This goddess was closely tied to the orca whale. Maybe you can befriend orcas if you wear it!"

The email that the player gets that unlocks the Jewel is as follows:

"Strange Ceremony

It seems you are really throwing yourself into your work recently. Remember to take care of your health - this is your most important resource! That reminds me of a ceremony people in the Paoul Republic have taken part in since time immemorial.

They pray to the storm god for good health and even for immortality before a rock shaped like a human face. It's just a superstition, but take note of it anyway. You never know when this information might come in useful."

Or, alternatively, in the US release:

"Rituals and Rest

Good day. It sounds like you are really working hard these days. Be sure to rest every now and again. Everyone needs to recharge. Such things remind me of the time-honored Pelago ritual that is said to grant health and vitality. Supposedly you stand before a "crag shaped like a face" and offer thanks to the god of storms."

Real-World Information[]

  • This salvage is based off of magatama, Japanese mythological tear-shaped beads commonly described as jewels. They were prevalent throughout Japan and its surrounding archipelago during the Jōmon period, where they were made of all sorts of earthen materials, up to the Kofun period, where they were almost exclusively made of jade, as is seen in-game.
    • Though the Jewel of Life is said to be resembling an orca or shark, real life magatama seem to share no connection with either creature.
