One half of an ancient wheel made for translating runes.

Left Translation Wheel is a bonus item in a hidden chamber in the Erchius Mining Facility mission.

Use

Together with Right Translation Wheel it can be exchanged at Treasured Trophies at the Outpost for a codex, The Ancient Alphabet, which provides a key to decipher ancient cultivator text.

How To Find

To access the chamber in the Erchius Facility where the Left Translation Wheel is, players need the Distortion Sphere tech (or any of its upgrades) and a means of reaching high places, such as the Spike Sphere tech or a Grappling Hook. Because of this, it is unlikely to be accessible on a player's first visit to the facility. Players can return to the facility later in the game after getting the necessary tech/s.

The chamber with the Left Translation Wheel is locked; unlocking the chamber requires activating two hidden levers.

The first lever is above the first room where multiple human survivors are, just above the chest with the Space Helmet. To access the lever, exit the room to the left, climb on top of its roof, roll right in sphere form, and then climb the vertical rock tunnel to find the switch.

The second lever is in a large open room with a clothed, weapon-wielding enemy. Climb to the top-left corner of this room to find the lever.

The top of the long vertical shaft leading to the boss door has a pile of debris; behind this is a narrow tunnel traversable in sphere form. Roll down this tunnel to a small hidden room with a few crates. This room also has two sigils, and the door to the chamber where the Left Translation Wheel is. The sigils turn blue if their corresponding levers are activated. Activating both levers open the door to the hidden chamber.
