It’s true…
I'm at the big platform near the Prison Island Rest Camp, I know there's a fight coming up that will segue directly into the finale and would like to know how long it will be till credits
It’s true…
When Rex is built properly, I don’t think there is an answer. He does too much damage, too quickly for the tanks to keep up.So, uh, does anyone have any strategies for dealing with this
Yeah, that was the kit I was missing. Got it before doing the UM there.i'm pretty sure some uniques drop Nopon medals so you probably just haven't killed enough of those
as for the affinity kit i'm pretty sure I know which one you're missing
an affinity kit spawns on the cliffs around the island you're on(have to do a bit of jumping down the cliff to reach it) when you kill the level 70 unique at the shrine near colony 9 where you did the ouroboros powers quest
It’s true…
It is weird how Shulk pretty much doesn't have any conflict (other than the main plot itself), and Nikol's problems are resolved in the same conversations in which he first brings them up.Totally agree. I think Shulk and especially Nikol are a bit flat in this game in my opinion. Weakest two party members for me.
Omg he said it
After a rain in Colony 9 and the sunshine came back out Shulk actually said "the breeze feels so good
Run from it, hide from it, you can’t escape the double spinning edge!Staying mostly off the internet while playing FR, then coming back after finishing it to find out that literally everyone had been playing like this was one of the funniest experiences I’ve ever had
Where you up to? I have a few thoughts, but don’t want to spoil anything…It is weird how Shulk pretty much doesn't have any conflict (other than the main plot itself), and Nikol's problems are resolved in the same conversations in which he first brings them up.
I'm not through yet, so maybe it'll change, but Glimmer feels as if she'd have been better served with a game that could've spent a little more time on her. Her feelings on everything made sense, but as least as far as I've gotten, she's kinda just tagged along since expressing her frustrations with the group. It's not the weirdest thing, but more of a window into how her perspective is developing would be nice.
I get why they're not doing that with a more limited scope though; it's essentially a rehash of a common character beat from Xeno 3, and there's more interesting stuff to do with Matthew/A and the returning heroes.
Early chapter 4. Got back to town and have those two quests that can be done in either order. Haven't completed either; I'm aware that one of them looks like it's character development for Nikol and Glimmer, but I've done a decent bit of it and so far I'm not particularly impressed.Where you up to? I have a few thoughts, but don’t want to spoil anything…
you know whatWhat exactly is more interesting at all about Glimmer than Nikol? They both are paper thin to me so I’m very curious lol
Yeah, that was the kit I was missing. Got it before doing the UM there.
As far as I can tell, all of the Nopon medals are in containers. If there's a UM with one, it's gotta be one of the 70+ dudes, because I've killed all the others

He just feels really fun to play. I enjoy most of the characters, but Rex feels so spammy and overpowered, it’s hard not to gravitate to him.
Didn't twig it myself, but saw in Enel’s video *(after I’d finished the game) that you can essentially combo lock enemies with some of his fusion arts.

There are definitely multiple Nopon medals you get from UMs. You probably just missed one. Most likely the one thatYeah, that was the kit I was missing. Got it before doing the UM there.

For, uh, no particular reason, have you completed the gem furnace side quest yet?
He gets Awakening the same way everybody else does: By using a Union Strike on a launched enemy.Something that confuses me - what actually triggers Shulk's awakened state? I don't think I've ever seen it, much less noticed what causes it. Yet he has two arts that get boosted by it...
Gotcha. Simply never noticed lol, thanksHe gets Awakening the same way everybody else does: By using a Union Strike on a launched enemy.
Not a low bar to clear tbh.
Rematched this dude and got it. No idea why it didn't drop the first time, maybe it's something weird with how he fliesThere are definitely multiple Nopon medals you get from UMs. You probably just missed one. Most likely the one that
as it's pretty easy to miss.spawns around theCorridor of Silence[EDIT: got the names mixed up because they're on top of each other, meant the Gravina Bridge] during the werid upside down lightning weather,
It's possible you just forgot to pick it up. I'm pretty sure drops will get automatically collected if they fall off the terrain, but if they do land nearby, you do have to go over and physically pick them up or they will disappear eventually.Rematched this dude and got it.

Yeah, it was probably supposed to specifically be that location. There's a bunch of minor stuff like that in the game.So when you're getting the special mineral to fix the workshop,
did that Igna group you have to fight seem like a Satorl Marsh throwback to anyone else?
The throne with the one bigger guy on it seemed on purpose

Yes, the location names match. It's the same place.Yeah, it was probably supposed to specifically be that location. There's a bunch of minor stuff like that in the game.
Ahh okay, I’ll hold off until you finish up. I think what I’d say is better said in that context.Early chapter 4. Got back to town and have those two quests that can be done in either order. Haven't completed either; I'm aware that one of them looks like it's character development for Nikol and Glimmer, but I've done a decent bit of it and so far I'm not particularly impressed.
The better story moments have been coming at the conclusion of quests, though.
To be fair, it would probably break the game balance! Would have been cool though!it's such a shame thatunlocking him as a hero in the base game doesn't unlock his class, I really wanted to use it in the gauntlet thing a bit
I too have seen The Good Place and had a chuckleNobody is gonna get this but I gotta get it off my chest
Dodge tanking only really works in X3 in my experience ifShulk not only looks like Dunban but also plays like him. Im really digging this design. Too bad he seems to be underpowered in this game. Nikol takes all the aggro off him and the arts build up really slow. One of his normal arts and his talent art also increase dmg when awakened and that status is rather hard to get. They didn't do him justice ;(
With the right setup, you can do it very quickly. Unity pairing him with Matthew works well, especially if you foundOne of his normal arts and his talent art also increase dmg when awakened and that status is rather hard to get.
Are you on hard? On normal I think I died twice the entire game against enemies that weren't clearly way above my level. Both times I just did a pivot of my party builds to better deal with said bosses and won easily.I'm enjoying the game, but there are frustrating parts sometimes, especially when it comes to gameplay and combat. There are huge difficulty spikes between normal enemies in an area and its bosses/unique enemies, to a point where i grinded a lot, became considerably overleved for the area but was still defeated by some bosses without much effort. A and Glimmer don't seem to be enough to take care of the healing, i've been focusing on upgrading them with AP and filling them with gems.
Also i don't like the system of unlocking new art slots, neither the enemy bases. I'm probably close to the end right now five levels above the common enemies in my area, and still lacking most of the arts and abilities bacause i didn't do this or that sidequest. The enemy bases feel like stealth missions and i'm not particularly into this.
Anyone know an efficient way to grind for the superbosses? Leveling down and beating the unique darbus over and over with an exp boosting meal is what I'm doing now.
Yup, just tried it. That's way faster. Thanks!!leveling down to ~50 and killing the unique level 55 fogbeast in the crater is pretty quick, that's what I did to get from level ~70-80 and it only took like a couple kills with exp food and chain attack overkills
You're in the last quarter of the game.For anyone who has already finished the dlc:
I just finished
and currently proceeding tothe quest where you fight against shulk and Rex with only Glimmer and Nikol
. How much do I have left?Prison Island to get to origin
Oh man I feel this way so often in XenobladeReached chapter 4 and a friend was watching:
Friend "you are not going to kill the giraffe looking monsters right?
Me "why not?"
Friend "It's a giraffe, it's not doing anything, you just bumped into one and it didn't even reacted, it's just chilling there"
Now I kinda feel bad for beating them
