Cleaned out the last UM in Sword Valley, and finished all collectables for the three regions that i'm about to lose access to, there's only one Spiking little bitch of a UM down in the B1 level of Mechonis Field. Can't get near the damn thing without losing most of my own HP.

Even at level 10, Purge only buys you 14.5 seconds? wtf?

The next point of no return (and this is the biggest one) will be upon beating the boss in the capital of Mechonis. You know when you'll face the boss, because you have to complete a story quest which involves activating a teleporter. Once you go through this teleporter, you'll have to fight the boss and this leads up to major changes in the game, so make sure to complete all timed sidequests

Wrong. The only area which locks out at that point is Mechonis Field. You can still walk to Central Factory (you need to for a quest in Junks when you enter the top level of Central Factory, which involves you forging a new weapon), and take the teleporter at the top to Agniratha. Only thing is, you can't fast-travel.

It's after Mechonis Core where the big lockout happens. That locks out Central Factory, Agniratha, Mechonis Core and Prison Island, and changes Alcamoth and Tephra Cave greatly.
