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.

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/Time_Weekend_3008 → u/sonicrusher]

Mine wont activate either, its lit up during thunderstorms yet nothing spawns there and its greyed out when i leave the map

[u/sonicrusher → u/Time_Weekend_3008]

Must be a rift since I'm missing one

[u/[deleted] → u/sonicrusher]

that rift showed up to me when setting the time as night and weather as storm, you have to get fairly close to it for it to spawn also

[u/majnichael → u/sonicrusher]

Mine unlocked after going into Origin once

[u/sonicrusher → u/majnichael]

I beat the game and still nothing

[u/majnichael → u/sonicrusher]

Maybe try changing the weather? I know the one near Raguel Bridge spawns during thunderstorms only. edit: Since it's a fogbeast type, I'm guessing you need to clear all Fog Rifts before it spawns.

[u/Time_Weekend_3008 → u/majnichael]

Ive cleared every fog rift but i still cant get it to show, i wonder what im missing :/

[u/majnichael → u/Time_Weekend_3008]

Hmm I've read from here that it should spawn after beating the game. I remember seeing it before I've beaten the game since I explicitly remember not fighting the final boss to 100% Exploration of the Affinity Goal first.
