Rex reaching a Salvage Point
Salvaging is an activity and game Mechanic in 异度神剑 2. As a salvager, Rex is able to dive beneath the Cloud Sea to recover lost 秘宝. He will encounter several salvager NPCs through the game who wear a diver suit.
Salvaging can be a significant source of Gold, as well as Mechanical and Fish collectibles and 秘宝 items. Some Key Items needed to complete Quests must be obtained through salvaging. 敌人 can appear as a result of salvaging.
Rex can only salvage at designated places, called Salvage Points, localized with a blue "hook" icon across Alrest. Most areas have at least one Salvage Point.
Salvaging
To salvage, Rex must use Cylinders. Cylinders are available in four types: Normal Cylinder, Silver Cylinder, Golden Cylinder, and Premium Cylinder. Initially only Normal and Silver cylinders are available. Gold, and eventually Premium cylinders become available as the story progresses and Rex increases his Salvager Rank.
When salvaging, the player selects a cylinder type, and is then given a button prompt. At most Salvage Points the button prompt is always the same, although at a few Salvage Points the buttons are random. After the last button, Rex dives into the Cloud Sea. He returns some time later, with 秘宝 and sometimes 敌人.
The 秘宝 acquired consists of a number of Collectibles and up to three 秘宝 Troves (chests), which appear on the ground nearby. An icon symbolizing the quality of the results is displayed briefly; if more than one chest was obtained, the icon represents the best one:
 No chest (collectibles only) |
 Brown chest |
 Red chest |
 White chest |
The rarity and amount of 秘宝, and whether or not 敌人 appear when salvaging is influenced by three elements: the player's success on the button prompts, the quality of cylinder used, and the Salvaging Mastery Field Skill.
According to a translation of 异度神剑 2: The Complete Guide:
- The probability of a Blade activating their field skill at a Salvage or Collection Point is 60% for a Lv.1 skill, 80% for Lv.2, and 100% for Lv.3.
- Salvaging Mastery increases the appearance rate of 秘宝 and collectibles by +5% per level, and reduces the appearance rate of 敌人 by 2% per level, to a maximum of 9 levels.
- The button challenge also affects the appearance rate of both items and 敌人. Failure on the 3rd button-press invalidates the first two.
- Better cylinder = higher chance of salvaging rare 秘宝 and lower chance of 敌人.

Games Collaboration
Rex's costume worn by Link in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
A DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild bringing "Rex's costume" to link was released on November 9th, 2017. It offers the new side quest Collaboration: 异度神剑 2 where Link must discover three red 秘宝 across Hyrule, each of them containing the Salvager Headwear, Vest and 裤子/长裤. These three pieces of Rex's costume individually grant Link the bonus effect Swim Speed Up, with a set bonus of Swim Dash Stamina Up if all three pieces are worn together.
