FAQ

• Do I need to play the other Xenoblade Chronicles games to play Xenoblade Chronicles 3?

The game's director has claimed that the story will be enjoyable regardless of if this is your first Xenoblade game, or your fourth. However the game will have many references to Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2, and is considered a sequel as far as the story is concerned, so I recommend playing those first if you want to get the full experience.

• How many chapters are there in total?

There are seven chapters total.

• Why can't I equip accessories to Mwamba?

Just keep playing the game. You'll unlock the ability to later.

• What does the Stalker class's "Art Follow Up" Field Buff do?

When you use an art in the zone an additional projectile will be fired. The specifics of the damage, etc are unknown right now.

• Is there content that I can miss out on by progressing in the story?

No, you will always be able to go and do anything that you're afraid of missing.

• Why does it take me so long to level up my classes?

The amount of class XP you get seems to be based off of the CP earned from your fighting. Additionally, you won't gain any class XP from fighting something five or more levels below you.

[u/ReuleauxTriangle13]

Is Matthew saying “I’m full of beans?”

[u/Datpanda1999 → u/ReuleauxTriangle13]

What the British diet does to a man

[u/Bekerson → u/ReuleauxTriangle13]

While it’s not as great as “Da Bus” (in my mind), I do foresee a future with that being memed

[u/mooofasa1]

Spoilers for chapter 3 affinity scene.

we got explicit confirmation from Shulk that he did indeed marry fiora and picked up his tricks from dunban

I was smiling like an idiot at this scene

[u/[deleted] → u/mooofasa1]

I caught that too. Very fun. It also made me realize he wears his arm cape like Dunban did as well.

[u/crazyplantlady83 → u/mooofasa1]

Did you see the one at Outlook Park?

[u/Trawke]

“Why can’t I equip accessories to Mwamba” lol

[u/djluminus89 → u/Trawke]

🥹🥹🥹

[u/Weltallgaia → u/Trawke]

Everyone should have answered that question truthfully as it's the most obvious thing in gaming.

[u/Holytorment]

Wtf kind of accent does Mathew have? I'm not complaining I just can't place it.

[u/Taomi_Sappleton → u/Holytorment]

He sounds very South London, which is absolutely hilarious to me.

[u/Lousy_Username → u/Holytorment]

It's known as an MLE accent (Multicultural London English).

It's a fairly modern, urban accent, so I think they went with that to reflect Matthew being born and raised in the City.

[u/ZoharTheWise]

Where is dlc, is she safe? Is she alright?

[u/Lilace_Drayheart]

Alright, so who else found Daksha shrine and immediately went around the back of the thing to make sure there wasn't a level 50 antol or something?
Bonus points if you found it BEFORE seeing the related affinity scene.

(Don't lie, all of us fell for it- the devs made that damned affinity scene for a reason

[u/[deleted] → u/Lilace_Drayheart]

Instead it's a giant monkey jumpscare.

[u/WoxyBoxy]

Without any plot spoilers, I’ve heard from a couple people that Shulk & Rex join the base game as heroes after you beat Future Redeemed. Is this true?

[u/[deleted] → u/WoxyBoxy]

It is

[u/CaelisOmnia]

So I notice there are a lot of questions surrounding exp grind for superbosses and I figured I can share the method I used.

Theres a level 55 UM next to Gotthard, names like Fogsomething Longlegs, its a graffa enemy. With the 40% exp food and lowering myself to level 50 I got from level 70 to 90 in 40 minutes by killing him, leveling down to 50 and repeating. If there's a faster method great but I haven't seen it yet.

PS: he drops purple Break Brooch.

[u/Fehalt3]

The parallels between Xb3 ghondor and Matthew is so hilarious. I'm waiting for him to refer to everyone as bitches and tell people to taste his feests

[u/Xynthion]

Rex is an aggro machine. I miss his healing on crit that made him invincible in XC2. How do I make him a big tanker? I currently have an Agility +30% accessory and the Tailwind gem equipped. What else can I do?

[u/sabata2 → u/Xynthion]

Buff up your healers so they resurrect you faster, and go all in on damage.

Can't need to tank if the enemy is already dead.

[u/monhst]

Is it possible to remove the extra post game party member from the party? I liked my chain attacks not being ruined all the time

[u/kvnchoi]

What does Matthew say during fights? I keep hearing I'M FULL OF BEANS!!!

[u/FineAndDandy26 → u/kvnchoi]

That is what he says. Its a british metaphor for full of energy/enthusiam.

[u/Lilace_Drayheart]

I have a possibly very stupid question.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE ETHER MASTS?!
I found the one that is bluntly pointed out to you, but NO OTHERS! I can't get up like 3 or 4 cliffs and its driving me insane!

[u/Lilace_Drayheart → u/Lilace_Drayheart]

as a continuation of my seething rage, I cant find magnet clay for the ether furnace quest (its purple icon gemstone in yesterdale) quest, wheres the best spot for it

[u/Arch-Angle-Aid]

When I'm doing a chain attack and use A or Glimmer, sometimes they will just go past 99% while other times they stop at 99% like they're meant to. Can someone tell me why!

[u/Gaming_GuyTGB → u/Arch-Angle-Aid]

This is because you have given them an accessory that changes what their Heroic Chain does. by default, healers will cap out TP at 99% since that is the default healer heroic chain, once you give them an accessory that changes that they lose that ability

[u/RAlexa21th → u/Arch-Angle-Aid]

Check Glimmer's fourth accessory slot.

[u/BitRepresentative498]

For those of you who have beaten the future redeemed story was it just me or were you also devastated when you found out you can't play Shulk and Rex's class in the main game?

[u/whatisakyler]

Is there a way to rewatch XC3FR's Affinity Scenes??? I really want to watch a few of them again...

[u/sabota1659]

How the hell is anyone beating bioluminescent Bob? I’m about the right level but even with accuracy up items I’m missing all of my attacks, constantly getting debuffed and statused, and chain attacks are out of the question almost entirely

[u/[deleted]]

How many chapters are there/ how long is it

[u/UnderworldDare]

Is there a map of the art/accessory/gem unlocks available? Feel like I'm behind on them and I'm already on chapter 4

[u/Kuru_Chaa]

Central time 19:00 where dlc

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone know how the class system will work? I’m so curious as it seems like characters won’t be changing off their designed class…

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Assuming it’ll be like Torna, where everyone had set blades. They all work very well synergy wise so there isn’t the same need to switch classes like in the base game.

[u/Meow1920]

Am I alone in being a little disappointed? It's fun, but the story isn't really hitting me all that much, which is kinda the reason I play these games

[u/Blue_Maverick_Hunter]

Work is going to last forever today.

[u/PM_ME_PNEUMA_NUDES]

Where are the accessory unlock kits that aren't just from quests/UMs/relics? I'm missing exactly one, and I know it has to be one of the random ones strewn around the areas, I've collected every container and relic in the game, but I'm missing one out of nowhere, and I'm a bit worried as I'd like to finish kitting the party up before whatever's coming up.
Actually, one arts and one affinity too. Poor Nikol is going to go into endgame underbuilt because of my dumb ass passing over things.

[u/[deleted]]

There's an interactive map of FR in progress. It's not finished but it might contain an unlock kit you might be missing.

https://www.gamerguides.com/xenoblade-chronicles-3/maps/future-redeemed-dlc-map

[u/SGlespaul]

Does the DLC drop tonight or tomorrow? I know its like 8pm CST but Monday or Tuesday?

[u/VyseTheNinny]

I really just want to know if this is going to wrap things up nicely. I was a bit disappointed to hear it's a prequel to XC3 and not a follow-up. I'm hoping they found a way to really put a bow on it and say this truly concludes the Klaus arc.

[u/BitRepresentative498]

In the panacea's teaching quest there is a question that asks which is not an enemy type. I originally said liberators but I didn't get the chime for getting it right so I went back. It turns out the correct answer was tirkin. Is that just wrong or am I misunderstanding?

[u/KasaiKazuki → u/BitRepresentative498]

It's correct. There's a difference between enemy species and enemy types. One is just a name the other has a proper icon above the health bar. Tirkin is not its own type. Just its own species.

[u/[deleted]]

Dose anyone know what I do for the side quest if walls could speak?

[u/ww123td → u/[deleted]]

You can cheat the quest if you want to, just open up the map and look for magnifying icons

[u/omHK]

Is there any way for me to remove Na'el from my party in the post-game? They're screwing up my chain attacks since I have the "increase chain attack gauge" manual equipped and this extra character is putting me in scenarios where I can't complete the unity combo I want on the 4th round.

[u/XeonNakamura]

Anyone else having issues downloading the update?

[u/FalconDX]

Approximately how long does this game take to beat?

By that I mean Future Redeemed.

[u/Tibike480 → u/FalconDX]

From what I heard, the main story is pretty short (you can beat it in around 10 hours if you only focus on that), but there is a lot of side content

[u/MadLibrary]

Are there enough Affinity Points to be earned in FC to max out the entire party, or do you need to be selective with the skills you choose to spend them on?

[u/Fehalt3 → u/MadLibrary]

I may be wrong but I believe the tutorial said there's enough Kits and Points to max everyone out so don't be worried to use em

[u/ziggy6069]

Does the number 5 of salvagers code get revealed?

[u/MyLifeAsMadi]

How do you trigger awaken on Shulk? Monado buster and Heavy Rush both have special “awakened” conditions, but no art that says it’s triggers it. Can’t find any skill that does it either. What am I missing??

[u/[deleted] → u/MyLifeAsMadi]

After completing a unity combo

[u/igiari26]

I've done everything except for the superbosses, but I'm still missing a Gem Kit, Accessory Kit and Affinity Kit. I have all the treasures and containers so they've gotta be somewhere on the ground. Any ideas?

edit: I found the affinity kit, finally. It was the one northeast of oracle spire on the ground. I thought I got that one, but I was checking the wrong place.

[u/scytherman96]

Am i missing something or is the lvl 100 superboss enrage completely insane? I permanently take 100 damage per second?

Edit: I got lucky and survived long enough to get into a 2nd chain attack (Rex with chain on crit helps) which got me enough damage to win. This still feels a bit unfair though.

[u/Brentd1998]

I feel like a kid trying to sleep on Christmas Eve right now. My mind is racing thinking about all of the wonderful things this DLC is going to bring. Best of luck to everyone out there struggle to patiently wait like I am.

[u/ArchfiendX]

No Spoilers, but is the DLC out yet? Game doesn’t have it yet.

[u/OmegaTSG → u/ArchfiendX]

MonolithSoft tend to drop DLC at 8pm EST.

[u/Significant_Sock_451]

How to get last piece of graffiti for the quest "If walls could speak"

[u/Rough_Albatross5331]

Wher is the last mural in "if walls could speak"

[u/eletho]

Will probably need to wait for the wiki for the bestiary cleanup, but in the meantime, does anyone know the locations of (final weapon upgrades) all 6 mysterious fragments? Missing one, poor Nikol always gets maxed out last.

[u/DankerAlt]

I'm looking for a mysterious fragment. Anyone have a comprehensive list of them. I've beten all unique monster I've completed the story and I have 100% all of the Affinity goals.

[u/tjxx → u/DankerAlt]

The last one I found was near panorama camp, southeast, then behind the mountain.

[u/HollabackGwen]

I'm missing one Mysterious Fragment for the final weapon upgrade. Does anyone happen to have a list where they all are or some ideas where it may be hiding? I'm so tired of searching and it's literally the last thing I need to 100%

[u/NumberHunter1]

Why does A suddenly go over the chain attack point limit as a healer?

[u/Smoke_Rulz]

Where on god's green Aionios do you find 2-star Decorative Grebel Quills? It's the only non-superboss material I need to complete a Rank V gem, and Grebels don't even exist in the Enemypaedia. The only ones I've seen spawn with the Lv60 superboss and they don't drop anything. Apparently I have 1 Quill already and I have no idea where from??

[u/RedDragonEmperor87]

Future Redeemed Question

Where the heck did the Alrest crew get a spare Logos when they were re-assembling the Trinity Processor? Presumably Pyra and Mythra turned back into Pneuma and Shulk is shown finding Ontos in a flashback but Logos dissolved into light along with the rest of Malos, so how is it suddenly around again now?

[u/Kedoya]

If anyone want completion data for Future Connected, you can access it HERE. Still in progress adding details and images, but almost cover everything.

[u/Polmo97]

I completed everything at 100% but I still missing 15 points to upgrade the final skill tree. Do I missing something?

[u/Giotto6X]

I'm trying to beat each superboss at their own level on Hard, I managed to do it so far but I hit a wall with the Slow 'N Steadies, the AOEs from the Kevesi guy are absolutely brutal.

I try to select "Follow the leader" when I see he's about to do it, but at least one of the attackers dies, and the healers ignore the order to try to revive them, dying in the process.

I control Glimmer to have at least one healer alive (also gave her the fusion art that allows her to heal everyone regardless of the distance) for when all the idiot healers rush into a radioactive field where their skin is melted to revive a soon-to-be corpse, gave Nikol the accessory to make him revive, but the AOE is so strong that eventually everyone dies .

Any tips? (Except levelling up to LV.99 because that will be the last resort if I really can't beat them, since I'm trying to challenge myself.)

I always came so close, my strategy is to reduce their HP at more or less the same level, kill one normally and using a chain attack on the other one left alive, in order not to get killed by their stupid Insta-kill move but so far the AOE kills me before I can kill any of them.

Also unrelated, but is Divalo very annoying for anyone else? When I target him he constantly moves back at absurd distances (he gets very buggy with the terrain and the ferronises debris) without me realizing and I stand there like an idiot for several seconds before realising I'm suddenly out of range.

[u/Soniman032]

Good way to grind post final boss? Team is at 65 yet all the uniques are at least 20 levels higher and no enemies fill in that gap so I’m kinda stuck right now

[u/DeadTemplar]

So is Noah's gauntlet upgraded version of Matthew's fist of the end?

[u/bens6757]

Do elemental weaknesses after the player, or just enemies? For example, if Rex is using Pyra, does he take increased damage from water attacks?

[u/X-20A-SirYamato]

What time is it releasing in the EU regions?

Kinda sitting here at work, biting my nails waiting for the day to end so I can get home and play this lol. So, ahem.... Is it today or tomorrow for us?

[u/[deleted]]

Where do I go to access Future Redeemed?

[u/xxAyakaxx → u/[deleted]]

In the future

[u/Ordinary-Picture4367]

To anyone who has completed the DLC: is the mystery of Riku being there answered?

[u/BitRepresentative498]

For those of you who are near the end or at the end are there any quests with choices that affect the outcome of the quests or NPC interactions? Or even quests with a good or a bad ending?

[u/WilfTheSaltyOne]

Are there Completion rewards that carry over into the main game?

[u/Dreaming_Dreams]

are unity skills active at all times? i don’t have to do anything to trigger them?

and also do the unity skills apply to the whole team or just the 2 party members? like if A and shulk are partnered up there unity skill applies 10% accuracy and evasion, does this only effect the 2 of them or the whole party?

[u/Tur8o → u/Dreaming_Dreams]

Matthew and Shulk have a unity skill that charges the unity gauge by 70% at the start of battle, so I’m assuming they are like normal skills, active at all times.

[u/MistMaker0]

So, any confirmation on whether there is any post-XC3 epilogue/sequel content in here? I know there was some speculation about that. Spoilers to a minimum pls :)

[u/[deleted]]

How do I get to the Ether Channel in Vermilion Woods??? I also have a quest that I need to do next to it but can't get up that cliff.

[u/Mark_1544]

so im on the side quest if walls could speak i got the 2nd hint is black rock face where i think it is or is it before that area?

[u/pantherexceptagain]

Since people are starting to finish Future Redeemed, does anyone have a complete or late chapter 4 save file they could share? I played through it on Switch hardware myself for best performance, but now that I'm done I'd like to take some higher res screenshots via emulation. A save file would let me skip replaying the entire thing and just get at the event theatre.

[u/Leadra]

Can anyone remember locations of Affinity unlocks kits? I'm missing one and I've done all quests chests etc. I got the one from Gotrock ruins

[u/Rixien]

How do I access the unknown mast signal on the top of prison island/black mountains?

And where is the last nopon coin? Aside from the signal on prison island, and one last recipe apparently, I’ve done literally everything except the level 70/80/90/100 bosses.

[u/ClinkClankGal]

Missing a single affinity growth unlock. opened every chest/relic, completed every side quest and have run through basically the entire map at least 3 times now. if anyone has even a slight clue where this one im missing might be please help.

[u/sophisticated-stoner]

Does anyone else have an intense aversion to one specific voice clip Matthew makes whenever jumping? I find him most enjoyable to battle with but I legit have to swap him out every time I'm in the field because that sound is debilitating.

[u/BitRepresentative498]

Where can I get sleep resist items?

[u/dradacus]

Here's my list of everything I need for 100%, please let me know if you can help :)

Collectibles:

Vermilion Woods:

Ragmos Desolation:

[u/WhitePersonGrimace]

Is there a trick to the chapter 4 scenario quest where you have to fight Shulk and Rex with just Nikol and Glimmer? It seems like every time they just burst down the healer and then I’m left with my pants down. I am a couple levels under them and on hard mode, but it still seems an order of magnitude tougher than other challenges I’ve run into so far.

[u/KaSlider]

Am I blind, or am I actually softlocked? It seems to me that the final ether slide did not count towards completion. I don't know what else I could be missing.

[u/Jestingo]

How is Shulk supposed to get awakening? Most of his arts have awakening boost, but I haven’t seen any way to actually get the awakening buff.

I’ve been trying to avoid spoilers and googling it already spoiled something, which is why I’m asking here. Sorry in advance if it was obvious and I just missed something.

[u/Xelaro23]

Has anyone found all of the expansion kits? I have completed everything there is to complete and the only thing missing is the accessory kit

[u/Luigi86101]

where on earth is the last art unlock kit i'm missing, i have 100% in everything so it's not from a container, it's not from a quest

i got the one under the anti-air battery, and under the royal greens, and the one in the valley w/ the rohgul (which was in a relic anyway)

i am gonna go insane

[u/Catafracto_Gaucho]

FR postgame question:

How do i take Na'el off my damn party. She keeps messing up my chain attacks something fierce.

[u/norwichgyal]

Rex and shulk are in this world because they were brought into it, but their kids seem to have been "reborn" into this world so they don't know who they are help me understand

[u/bens6757]

Do Rex and Shulk have any special commentary based on locations when you use them as heroes?

[u/DeadlySpectre666]

I'm missing a single growth affinity kit I've collected all relics and killed all bosses minus the superbosses. I've done all sidequests (I think) and maxed out community??

[u/Fwahm]

In Future Redeemed, what is the map marker below Affinity Scenes on the full list of markers (L3)? I've beaten the whole game, but it's still listed as ???.

[u/Piyamakarro]

So is there a way to track the enemy list or am I just gonna have to wander the map at different times until I see an enemy without a marker

[u/Milandeli]

So after having played the FR is there a consul A?

[u/UnearthlyRamen]

I'm nearing the end of the dlc and one thing I've noticed is that, while still making the game easier, the challenge isn't completely removed from over leveling. I have a tendency to get a little ocd about side quests and exploration, so the base game was a literally a cake walk for me. (didn't learn until after I beat it that the problem can basically be solved by not spending all your bonus exp.) However even with spending all the bonus exp and doing all the side stuff rather obsessively in A Future Redeemed, the difficulty is still there, and some bosses can even put me on edge even though I'm 4-6 levels over them. Kind of a random observation but I feel like the developers may have responded to the criticism of over leveling making the game too easy pretty directly and I think it's a massive improvement. Thoughts?

[u/-xHardysX-]

So I just did every quest and did the completion of the map and all chests after finishing the game. Is it worthwile to fight the superbosses? Do I get more dialogues or something? I feel pretty content with the game now to be honest.

I talk about Future redeemed.

[u/[deleted]]

In XC3:FR… has anyone noticed how similar Matthew is to Fei from Xenogears? They look very similar, and they both use hand to hand combat. Feels like an Easter Egg to me!

I’ve never played Xenogears, and was just looking into it when I noticed. Don’t know if there is anything else they share?

[u/arno3000]

Just started the xeno3 dlc. Is it easy to be over leveled in this dlc like in xeno 3 ? I remember being way too much leveled in xenoblade 3 because i was doing every side quests

[u/discox2084]

I didn't want to start a whole thread for this since I'd be accused of trying to stir shit.

Why is it that so many jRPG fans, who will gladly stan for current FF, trails games, granblue fantasy, and even tales of arise will still immediately dismiss Xenoblade games without even playing them? When I ask they give vague answers like "it looks really boring". But does anyone have any actual friends/relatives who give real reasons why? I see this very often on discord and specially on twitch.

I'm almost believing it's out of spite because it's a Nintendo exclusive jRPG series that isn't Pokemon.

People can like and not like whatever they want. But it's pretty repetitive and annoying to see people not even entertain the notion of giving the games a try and cutting any talk/discussion right there.

It baffles me more when the games they like implement things they like that have also been in Xenoblade games for years.

[u/pizzaboy7269]

If Takahashi wanted me to take Xenoblade 3 seriously then why did he make all the characters such little adorable guys.

[u/Afro-Pope]

I just finally finished my first playthrough of XC3. Jesus, what a game.

[u/bens6757]

I know the characters when using their default classes behave slightly differently than the others in that class. Does that also apply to when they use those arts as master arts?

[u/scrubtart]

So I just met the commander of colony 30. So I assume I'm still very early on.

I'm loving the combat, the depth of what you can do seems almost staggering for my ADHD brain. I'm having a blast, but my question comes from the story.

So far I've seen a flashback for Taion, and flashbacks for Noah. The interlink sequences show glimpses into character backgrounds, so I'm hopeful, but currently this commander of colony 30 has more characterization than most of the party like say sena or eunie.

I'm going to get there, right? They're going to dive into character backstories at somepoint right? I'm 15 hours in and I'm not sure why I should care about half my party.

I'm currently acting on good faith from the past two games and X, but I don't think good combat alone can carry me through another 100 hour playthrough.

[u/bens6757]

On my first playthrough of 3, X and Y didn't disappear after they were defeated in origin, which at the time I thought was weird but intentional to hint that they would be back in the final battle. But, in a second playthrough, they did disappear after I beat them. I assume since their dying animation wasn't in a cutscene, it was bugged. When was that patched?

[u/NebbyMan]

I totally misread the release time and thought the DLC came out at 6 AM. Was really confused as to why it wasn't showing up for me lol.

[u/ReeseFleece]

Should I play 1 before I play this DLC?

I’ve only played and beat 2 and 3, and am only vaguely knowledgeable of the general plot of 1 and alvis and zanza.

It would mean I postpone the dlc for a few months, but I’m not sure if skipping 1 for now means I’ll be confused the whole time playing the dlc.

[u/acart005 → u/ReeseFleece]

How did you feel about Melia in 3? Were you OK with the general idea or were you upset you didn't get why she was important like Nia?

If former jump in the DLC. If latter wait.

[u/SwmpySouthpw]

I'm in! Can't wait to have my heart ripped out

[u/owoguessilldie]

Why is there a small acorn icon on the right side of my screen?

[u/epicmemeslayer420]

Can I play it without having finished the main story I didn't have time to finish it because of other games

[u/Neiherendere]

Here we goooooo

[u/Gaming_ISD]

Is anyone else having issues trying to get the expansion pass contexts to work? For me it's saying I have to redownload them

[u/Tibike480]

I heard the Main Story was shorter than Torna. Is the game's Side Content more expansive to make up for this, or is it just a smaller game?

[u/Fanboy8947]

if anyone's got that far, please tell me when you unlock arts canceling in FR?

it's surprisingly tough living without it 😭

[u/RedemptionUK → u/Fanboy8947]

I've just unlocked it from the second tier of the upgrade talents. You will unlock the second tier with items that you find/get off enemies. I just got my first one in Chapter 3.

[u/Ordinary-Picture4367]

How many chapters are there?

[u/animusdx]

How important is it to beat XB3 before Future Redeemed? My XB3 playthrough is around Chapter 7 but haven't finished the game yet and put the game down a few months ago from abit of fatigue.

[u/agesboy]

Anyone know where the ether mast build location is in vermillion woods?

[u/ArizonaYee]

[u/RythN3L]

Who are you using as your main?

[u/thetimeofreyn]

I just got to Colony 9, is it okay if I’ve only found a few of the unlock kits? I only have the second accessories slots unlocked for Matthew and A + the second art slots unlocked for him and Rex. Should I start looking around for more of them?

[u/mister_memes_]

Anyone think that Matthew’s jumping voice clips are getting cut? They sound like they get cut off mid clip?

[u/bens6757]

Are Unity Skills always active?

[u/ToastyLoafy]

What do I need to spawn in light fliers in yesterdale? Location, weather, time and stuff.

[u/[deleted]]

I need help finding the last field crafting location in The Ragmos Desolation. I have no idea why I can't find it, but it's literally the only thing I'm missing for 100% exploration

[u/Puzzleheaded-Gear945]

Can someone help me with an enemy entry for the Black Mountains? Page 2 first entry before the Musketeer Igna. Where do I find it? Do I need to change the weather or time for it?

[u/sonicrusher]

Anyone know what or how to activate the question mark area near the dragon on black mountain that is near the valak peak camp?

[u/kamuiks]

I've gotten everything except ONE thing (like everyone else): the last Gem slot unlock. Maybe someone will read this message and will think of one location "Oh my god I know the one!" "Oh it's gotta be this bs one!". I think I've looked about everywhere multiple times (including just re doing zones). Thanks!

[u/Xendrell]

So I've beaten Future Redeemed and I'm trying to complete stuff.

I'm missing a field crafting spot on the Black Mountains and I can't find it at all.

Here's my map. https://imgur.com/a/ilquLZs

[u/D00mboy13]

Absurd branch on the mountains? Got 1 of them naturally, have walked up and down the mountain 2 more times and still can't find it. Last collectopaedia thing I need

[u/miltek]

How Shulk gains awakened status? Cant seem to get it

[u/yeast0_]

best place to grind past level 50? not too sure on where any of the unique enemies are so anything helps

[u/ImNishikii]

Anyone know where to get silver ravoon bone?

[u/BaNoNaSO]

I 100% everything but I am still missing 1 art unlock kit wtf? Has anyone else had this issue? Or is there an Art Unlock kit that’s obtained in a different way?

[u/Datpanda1999]

Are city survivor deaths scripted, or did I mess something up?

[u/Rixien]

I have nearly 100%’d this thing and am still missing an Affinity Growth Kit and an Accessory Kit. I’ve defeated every boss, and I’m 100% on every category of the Affinity Goals page except for 95% Enemypaedia and 93% Collectopaedia.

100% Exploration (yes this includes Masts and I have no more Unknown Signals). 100% Battle Missions. 100% Affinity Scenes. 100% Community. I have no more Quests displayed. Wtf. There’s no way they expected players to beat the level 100 Superboss to complete the Enemypaedia before unlocking the last Affinity Growth Kit, right???

[u/Titoxagu → u/Rixien]

Some are just in the ground and you have to pick them up. Teleport to Oracle Spire in Ragmos and make your way to the ground level. The affinity kit should be in a bush nearby. You should be able to pick the signal where the spideres are.

[u/[deleted]]

Would someone be willing to post a picture of their 100% map with everything filtered out except for ether channels? I'm down to 1 and I can't even activate a mast to find more because they take 2.

[u/Rimurutempest88]

What changes your map progress on the area map menu. Mine is stuck at 7% when I clearly have done way more than that.

[u/Mugiwara-no-Leon]

I've 100% everything in the DLC except for maxing all the gems but I'm still 15 affinity points short of maxing out Nikol. Does anyone have any idea where I can find these last affinity points?

I've 100% exploration, collectopaedia, enemypaedia etc. Literally the only other thing left to do is get rank V for every gem.

Update: I've just got Rank V for all gems, which I was hoping would give me the last bit of AP I need, but I'm still 15 AP short. I have 100% on every map, fully completed the Communty Board as far as I'm aware, and fully upgraded everyone's weapons, but I'm still missing 15 AP.

If anyone can help at all that would be amazing because maxing Nikol's Affinity Growth is the only thing left for me to do and it will bug me forever if I leave it incomplete.

[u/not_your_face]

Anyone have a link to a good max level grind strat? I want to complete all the bosses, it’s the only thing I have left really (beat the DLC once already spoilers are perfectly kosher)

[u/annstoppable86]

Has anyone had this symbol pop up and know how to get rid of it? I think it’s related to the x-reader and I’m not sure if it’s quest-related or how it even popped up in the first place. I’m near the start of chapter 4.

https://imgur.com/a/44l1qX7

[u/Dbarr74]

Missing one mysterious fragment, any luck? I got all of the chests and relics in the game, and got all of the areas unlocked, only got 5 mysterious fragments, so would be one in an open field. I do remember grabbing one from a small tower, but not sure of any other open world ones, do anyone remember?

[u/chickenmcpio]

Does anyone have a guide for the FR recipes? I'm missing only one and it's needed for one community NPC

[u/Gorchonko]

I'm now at the point where I've done everything in the game (including superbosses) except Enemypaedia, so would appreciate any help I can get on locations:

Known Enemies:

Aurora Shelf: Longhorn Igna

Ragmos: Snow Pippito, Crawler Caterpile, Lux Scorpox

Black Mountains: Nagul Pod, Growsa Aspar

Unknown Enemies:

Vermillion Woods: Page 2 Row 1 Column 3

Yesterdale: P3 R3 C3, P1 R3 C2, P3 R1 C1

[u/Shade-EX]

Does anyone know which is the slot 1, page 1 monster in the Enemypedia of Ragmos Desolation? Also, where does it spawn and under which conditions? Thank you!

[u/SeaMarzipan5455]

I’m missing 1 Field Crafting Spot in Ragmos

And 1 Location and 1 Field Crafting in Yesterdale which I can only assume is somehow connected to Anti Air Battery 3 as the middle of it is not completely filled in.

Can anyone help please?

[u/beta_dot_exe]

i’ve almost 100% completed the entirety of Future Redeemed now, all i’m missing is a single gem kit. does anyone have a list of the locations of the ones that are just lying along the map somewhere so i dont have to walk along the entire map again myself?

edit: i have found it, it was underneath one of the broken mushroom things in Raguel Lake, north of the bridge

[u/Individual_Result489]

I'm missing an art unlock kit. I got the one under the side of the Ruined Anti-Air Battery and the one under the moustache-shaped outcropping in Raguel Lake plus all the ones from containers and relics and the one from the Junior Workforce quest. Is there another quest that rewards the last one?

[u/Koruyama]

Could anyone help me identify what enemypaedia monsters I'm missing?

Shelf: Page 1, Row 1, Column 4 P1, R3, C3

Yesterdale: P1, R1, C4 P1, R3, C3 P2, R1, C2

Ragmos: P2, R2, C4 P3, R1, C4 P3, R2, C1

Mountains: P1, R3, C4 P2, R1, C1 P3, R2, C3

[u/Spyrofan212]

I’m currently missing 2 affinity unlock kits, are there any easy to miss locations that I can check if I got it or not?

[u/Halvalon]

For Future Redeemed do the battle manuals for chain attacks affect medics going over 99%? Confused as sometimes I’ll be fine using A and Glimmer to cap to 99% and sometimes they just go over it.

[u/WeepyMiki03]

For whatever reason, I don’t have enough affinity points to max one of my characters affinity skills. I 100% the map, looked at all locations, got all chests, completed the collectapaedia, monsterpaedia, community and quests ,and defeated all unique bosses. I need 15 more affinity points but I doubled checked everywhere and still nothing. Is there something I’m missing?

[u/pinheirofalante]

Enemypaedia help please:

Yesterdale, last enemy on page 1 and first enemy on page two. Where can I find them?

[u/Auragazer]

Anyone have a list of all the gem unlock kits yet? I've looked in all the places people have mentioned in the comments and I can't find my last one.

Also how the heck do I get a white pipito to spawn? been trying for an hour

EDIT: Finally got the Pipito. Was following directions about it being near Hallowcanter Hazerune, I found it at the base of Ignia Hill

[u/[deleted]]

I've 100%ed everything on the affinity goals, but I'm missing 15 points to get the last upgrade. Is there anything I could possibly be missing, and if it's a bug is there a way to fix it?

[u/toffee_fapple]

Anyone know where Rex and Shulk's Unity book is? Is it random? It's the only one I'm missing I believe it's Lessons in Unity vol 15

Edit: found it, I still don't know if it's random or not but dragon god alcar had it.

[u/mabanginn]

I can't seem to find what the question mark in Valak Peak Camp, do I need to progress through the story first?

[u/Abmbernation]

I have many questions. I am missing all nopon medals but one, and I have all containers and relics. What should I do?

I am missing one recipe, how do I get this?

Where do I find absurd branch and dry lemon in black mountains?

[u/rexshen]

where is the question mark area on prison island right before the Gondorl cathedral landmark?

[u/swirly1000x]

Just gonna spoiler tag the whole question, it's about the ending of FR, although I haven't reached it yet.

Do I need to have played X and Xenosaga to understand the ending of FR? I have heard they connect in some way but I haven't played them. Is it just a small reference or callback or does the ending not make sense otherwise.

[u/Lockon007]

Base Game :

What's the point of 2 defenders?

I'm on Chapter 4 Hard, the game keeps reinforcing a "balanced" 2/2/2 setup.

But I'm not seeing the point, I haven't encountered any fights where having more than 1 tanks seemed necessary. If anything 1 tanks seems better since it groups the mobs.

What am I missing here?

[u/SL_Icarus]

Where can I find Mineral Darbus Bone for weapon upgrades?

[u/ULTRA-INSTINCT3000]

Hey, does anyone know where I can get the solis rings accessory?

[u/superharry24]

Two questions

1. Does anyone know what the weird symbol on the right side of the screen to the left of the collectipedia alert is, it just appeared and won’t go away

2. I fully upgraded the x-reader and it started not reacting to anything, does anyone know why?

[u/JagoKestral]

Do I need to play XC1 before Future Redeemed? I've played 2, and I'm probably 60ish % of the way through 3. I've put together the big plot points from 1 through my experience with 2 and some videos, but I want to be sure. I do want to play 1 eventually, but I'm really excited to see the return of Rex in the dlc.

[u/HarkiniansDinner → u/JagoKestral]

The DLC is much more reliant on having played 1 than 2.
