Speaking of Cauldros, has anyone gone there prior to getting a skell?

Sure, I went there before chapter 4. Of course it can be frustrating to get there on a few occasions because of the high level enemies that can surprise you. The benefits of going to Sylvalum and Cauldros early are limited though, because there are hardly any quests before the second half of the game starts. Naturally, expanding the Frontier Nav and placing more probes is the biggest payoff.

Unlike Sylvalum, it's very difficult to get far in Cauldros. Too many narrow paths with multiple level 40+ enemies whereas Sylvalum has a commonly wide open design.
