Xenoblade 2 |OT2| THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME!? DON'T FORGET ME!
- Thread starter TheMoon
- Start date
You know, as I've been doing side quests and putting off the rest of Chapter 8 for a while I just remembered something.
While I really have been enjoying this game's combat system and world, the story so far has been pretty messy.
This game also might have the most "win in the game, loose/doesn't matter in the cutscene" moments I've ever seen in 1 game.
What was the dead with the whole Malos stealing/destroying Pyra's memories thing? It doesn't seem to have amounted to anything. She woke up because of the power of friendship or whatever and got a new form, but they kept hinting/straight up saying that Malos took a bit of her core to fix his and that would cause her to be a husk. On top of us still doing alright against a fully powered Malos (who uses the manado I guess), Prya/Mrythra seemed just fine after that conflict. Does this get addressed later on? Or was all the build up for nothing?

How many annual salvaging deaths were cited in that throwaway conversation at the start of the game? 26? Something like that. And how many people does Alrest have, 1000? That is an astonishing mortality rate. No wonder the salvagers need new blood.
I got my last four in 40-50 legendaries and 50-60 rares, without speccing for luck at all.
All gotten in more or less 2 hours.
I must be one of the luckier ones.
Just did my first 10 million capped damage on the 110 level unique with a 4 orb full burst and a party of around 89. Felt great!
Also, I now have a fully built Poppi. Took a couple of days of grinding, but I got there. I would not have bothered if had another game to play, but I am waiting until Lost Sphear, so will continue with Xenoblade until then.

just go and hunt all UM. Chickenheart, Orion and that Bull thing in the Crater in Temperantia are supposed to be the hardest
One of your boosters must be full right now. Might as well use them all right now via core crystal use.
When you trade you also get turbo items, you either need to sell them or use them when you use Cores.
Yeah they're so limited in the number of boosters to keep but at some point you can increase the limit via shop deeds.
If the message is that you don't have enough space to receive a reward, it is because your boosters are already filled in your inventory. There is another shop beside the trading shop that will buy your excess boosters.
Later on you can buy your way past these limits by having capacity extensions.
Yeah, I will be hunting them down. Needed to get some moon matter chips first. I still need to optimise the party a little more though.
Tx for the swift answer guys.^_^ Now, my Mor Ardain is fully completed lol. Any tips on where to hunt for Rare Core though? I wanted to pull the gacha but monsta won't drop except for the crab from salvaging.
good luck, im now gonna start to Force Feed Sheba and see if I can calculate what is the bond Points required for Every S1 - S9 and S+
Fuck the factory part in chapter IV, holy shite. I was going around in circles and even came across a control room key. Looks like none of that was what I was supposed to do. Apparently you gotta run past super monsters to get there? Lovely. Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow but chapter IV's stupid fetch quests have really been annoying!
Chapter 4 indeed is sooo bad for me.T_T So stressful doing that. Lucky i am soo overlevel that non of the monster aggro me lol. Also guys, How good is pendragon chip? I have using those for all unique blade ll.
Considering what i think is your level, the best way right now is to hunt for treasure chests and continue with salvaging...
The best and safest place to farm much later for me was Uraya, head section if i remember correctly (room looks like a phillips screw head). there is a unique monster in there that is level 65, it releases gold chips (which in turn increase the drop rates), rare cores (almost everytime) and legendary cores (1 out of 2 fights) but i already had finished the game by then.
Lower Level of Anangham #2 Salvage Spot Dock of Empire of Mor Ardain.
Tolen Krabbles monster spawn via Salvaging
drops common and rare cores like 70%+
(oops wasn't reading properly at work)
Chickenheart is easy if you just do the Steam Explosion blade combo to knock it off the platform and watch it lose almost all its health due to the fall damage.
You can build qtpi anyway you want depending on your needs. She is that versatile in combat. Role chips are more for the stat modifiers anyway.
Nope!
Though I heard someone somewhere say that the two locales share a street sign texture. I don't know if that's actually true.
Ursula gets 5000 fans in her quest. Never take video game population from what you can see, haha.
Well obviously I wasn't being serious there, but there probably was some merit to the initial notion that salvaging is dangerous enough that throwing the children into that life should have been considered a bit more carefully.
Oh, for sure. Most salvagers don't have a big dragon titan watching over them though. I'm guessing all the creatures that come up with the salvage is where the majority of the danger comes from.
This was basically me after I got back from grinding my way to Level 71 to face
Grinding to the point of curb-stomping once-problematic enemies while finally understanding the combat system is an amazing feeling.
Level 66 Jin.

Saved this info as notes.^_^ Well, i am still level 45 right now going to chapter 5 so i am not sure if i can do that area yet here lol.^_^
I went back and spoiled it, but I've seen mid- to late-game party members unspoiled in this thread so I wasn't sure what still counts as a spoiler at this point. Is there a specific chapter past which we're putting things in tags for? If so I probably missed the memo.
EDIT: Seriously, what's the line for a spoiler in this thread? Just reading through it I feel like the line is constantly moving. One day party members are a spoiler and the next they aren't.

what is the button combo for such a thing, my pro controller has never pulled off a Lure at all I press down on the D-Pad and all it does is pull up controller menu
edit never mind this is the first time lure worked for me
Is that on the in-game timer or the Switch timer? The in-game timer is a bit bugged and tends to overrun.
If you have spent that much time, though, you'll probably be overlevelled enough to ignore random mobs in dungeons from now on.
Oh, well again, I certainly wasn't trying to tell you how to do your job - moreso wondering if there was any official protocol for this sort of thing. The general attitude towards spoilers in this topic does seem to be a cavalier one and I can't say I recall anyone complaining about being spoiled, so perhaps anything goes is the right call.
Also realised I forgot to actually respond to the content of your first post; that's blade is so good - I had the same arrangement. Let me use everyone I wanted, which is really everyone available to use minus Tora. There's enough stuff available to obviate the need for healer blades entirely but it's nice to keep that one around; she's definitely fun to use.
YER DUN
I don't even find those guys annoying anymore. I love fighting Ardainians at this point.
I'm not trying to be mean or anything, thanks for the head's up, I just want to know where the specific line is at this point. Obviously we aren't talking about the last two chapters, but beyond that I can't tell what is and is not a spoiler anymore.
If the thread wants to come together and say "everything past chapter x needs to be in tags" I'll add it to the OP for clarity.
On topic: The only two healer blades I use are her and Boreas. They're both on different characters, and it seems to work very well for me. It's far from an ideal set up since he's on my tank, I'd like an override protocol to fix this, but it's more than enough for most of the post-game bosses. So long as I'm not massively outleveled.
Nano-Metal Gauntlet (which you ll get as a drop in the Mor Ardain occupation camp north east upper level, i cannot remember if it was by the unique boss or a side quest though), will grant you +44% fill rate upon cancelling an auto-attack... it fills in the diamonds pretty quickly :)
Level is ~60 there.

Just finished the final chapter. This is my GOTY.
Cutscenes are so good. I've been missing a JRPG like this for a while now.

I think it's a matter of convenience and what can be considered surprising. Having to spoiler-tag Morag's name any time you mention her in your party can be considered too inconvenient, and her joining isn't too surprising. Zeke was also confirmed to join pre-release.
I actually didn't know either would join the team until I got to those points in the game. Guess I didn't follow the pre-release stuff as closely as I thought I did.
OK, so party members are no longer a spoiler but that blade still is.
That's the Switch timer -_-
The in-game timer is the same more-or-less as I've seemingly never left this game in sleep mode.
I'm currently level 46 and am starting to breeze past enemies and just now hit 1 million+ on a Chain Attack. Man it feels good to be this strong.
Me too!
I was super excited to go to Mor Adain solely in the hopes of fighting more of these guys.
THIS IS HOW WE DO THINGS
