Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis - All Ryuker Device, Cocoon, Tower, Region Mag, and Battledia Locations | Aelio Region

During your exploration of Aelio in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, you'll learn that some of the most important locations to find in the region are Ryuker Devices that allow you to teleport across the map, and Cocoons which will earn you valuable Skill Points, essential for increasing your Battle Power. You'll also want to know where Towers are for the same reason. Lastly, Region Mags can net you and your group valuable buffs across a wide area so they're essential to seek out as well. Here we've got a nice map you can cross-check in-game to see which ones you may be missing.

All Retem Region Key Locations
All Kvaris Region Key Locations
All Stia Region Key Locations

Since these items are all clearly marked on the World Map and there's only a couple per region (if any), it's easy enough to combine them into a single image here. 

Tip: To check how many locations you've found in a regionopen up the World Map from the main menu, mouse over which region you want to check, and press Tab. This will let you see how many Ryuker devices, Cocoons, etc. you've found in that region (as well as the number of Red Item Containers and Datapods).
Update: In October 2021, New Genesis added Battledia Quests, which are accessed via Trigger Portals located on the map. These are marked as "Battledia" in each region's Exploration list. We've added where to find these in thee Aelio region.

PSO2: New Genesis - All Ryuker Device Locations | Aelio Region

Ryuker Devices are basically waypoints that allow for fast travel across the map. Once you've unlocked one, you'll be able to travel to it any time by simply selecting it on the World Map.

PSO2: New Genesis - All Cocoon Locations | Aelio Region

Cocoons are going to be a major source of Skill Points, needed to unlock Class Skills and improve your Battle Power. Most of them are very easy and with generous time limits. You'll earn 1 Skill Point upon your first clear of any Cocoon. You don't need to clear the Side Missions for the Skill Point. You'll need to complete these to finish the Side Task Trainia Dominator.

Central Aelio

First Step

  • Location - Found just northeast of Central City. You'll go here for the Task The First Trial
  • Objective - A mostly tutorial Cocoon that teaches basic movement.

Enhanced Enemy

  • Location - Found straight west of Central City. You'll go here for the Task Advice from Liu Lin II
  • Objective - You'll be tasked to defeat an Enhanced Pettas Sword.

South Aelio

Wild Rush

  • Location - Found at the top of Mt. Piccolt, you can't miss it

Runway

How to get to the Runway Cocoon

West Aelio

Test Flight

  • Location - At the far northwest of the map, out on an island. Glide to it from the peninsula to the northeast of it
  • Objective - A basic movement test that teaches gliding

Roaring Rush

  • Location - At the far southwest of the map, south of Crykau Hills
  • Objective - A combat-focused Cocoon, so make sure your Battle Power is up to par here.

North Aelio

Swift Jump

  • Location - North of the Halphana Wetlands
  • Objective - A movement-focused Cocoon, with the tricky bit being that you want to avoid using any gliding, instead focusing on double jumps and wall kicks.

Halphia Lake

Fleeting Fight

  • Location - South of the main Lake area, east of Central Aelio on an island
  • Objective - A mini-boss fight of sorts that pits you against a Bujin enemy.

PSO2: New Genesis - All Tower Locations | Aelio Region

Towers are basically more difficult versions of Cocoons. You'll earn a whopping 4 Skill Points upon your first clear of any Tower. Surprisingly enough, the Side Missions are just for completion's sake and don't affect your Skill Point reward.

Central Aelio

Great Wall

  • Location - Far east of Central City, nearish to the zone boundary leading to Vanford Laboratory Ruins.
  • Objective - This is the most 'dungeon-like' of the towers. You'll have to clear through a few rooms of random assortments of enemies, followed by a mini-boss fight with a Daityl Sword. You'll want a decently high Battle Power for this one.

South Aelio

Aero Runner

  • Location - To the east of the Mt. Piccolt peak in South Aelio
  • Objective - This is a mostly non-combat Tower, meaning it can be an easy 4 Skill Points even if your Battle Power doesn't meet the suggested level. You'll have to do some platforming challenges and avoid some defensive fire.

West Aelio

ALTERS Rush

  • Location - Located at the very north part of West Aelio, directly west of the Altolani Plateau region in North Aelio
  • Objective - One of the more difficult Towers, you'll be facing three mini-bosses, and one of the Side Missions limits how many of the other enemies you're allowed to defeat. A nice challenge for those that want it, but it won't affect your Skill Point reward if you ignore it.

PSO2: New Genesis - All Region Mag Locations | Aelio Region

Region Mags are landmarks that can give boosts in exchange for materials such as Trinite or Dualomite. Each Region mag has a ship-wide meter marked [All] that will give all players a boost to EXP Earned, Rare Drop Rate, or Attack Potency, depending on the Mag in the region. There is also a [Personal] Boost that will give players that feed the Mag additional Rare Drop Rate % for up to 2 hours at a time.

North Aelio - Expert Region Mag

  • Halphana Wetlands - It's closer to the Wetlands, but most easily found by heading south from the Altolani Plains Ryuker Device

PSO2: New Genesis - All Battledia Locations | Aelio Region

Battledias are training exercises that pit players against combat challenges under a time limit. In order to access these, you'll need to get 5 B-Triggers, which are either dropped from enemies or bought on the Personal Shop. Battledia's can be good sources for items like Gold Primm Armor for Enhancement, or unique augments. Purple Battledias can also earn you Gigas-type drops, since you'll be fighting Gigantix during them.
