Yeah, I found the entrance on my own, took a peek inside and hit reverse on my Skell very quickly so as not to wake the Queen inside.

That was the first drat place I explored once I got a flying Skell and couldn't escape fast enough.

You can argue that Xenoblade's locales are more visually appealing than X's relatively more archetypal zones

Noctilum has like 4 different types of Jungle and I want to see what "archetype" Sylvalum can be said to fall under.

You use them when your skells run out of insurance. I'm not sure where to use them, but presumably you'll get the option when you go to pay for skell repairs after you have no more insurance.

You go to the hanger like normal and your uninsured Skell will be greyed out. If you choose it, you get the choice to use a Salvage ticket, spend money to repair it (a little less than 200k for my level 30 light Skell) or outright abandon it.

Yeah it would have been really great to have more aliens join the team. I realize that they did it because they didn't want non-BLADES doing stuff for you or to have anybody incapable of riding in a Skell (Nopon), and just to keep that player avatar thing going with the online connectivity and stuff... But one of those weird non-standard Orpheans would have been great.

They should have taken cues from Xenogears and make the Nopon's Skell form just be the same as its ground form, just giant. They even had a sidequest in the first game that made a Nopon grow huge, though not really to Skell size.

Anyway, are there any prereqs to get Phog's mission to appear on the board? I keep checking it but haven't gotten it yet.

Also, who is Murderess? Is that some unanimously agreed upon nickname (like Seven in the first game) or an actual character name?

So I found an Intergalactic Phoenix with an ATK of 7496 and an Intergalactic G-buster with an ATK of 35000. Are those what I should be looking for? I got them in like two minutes of fighting the Puges in Sylvalum so I want to make sure I just got lucky and got the right ones really quickly.

All around the internet, maybe gamefaqs? But all the adds from all the bullshit videogame discussion sites and wikis slowed my browser from having 12 tabs open looking for how badly people failed at videogames.

There is also like a multipage argument about why Morrowind sucks and why undertale is better which was what the chat turned into. But the moral is some people just can't get into videogames unless there's fan art and tumblr rants to accompany it.

There's also a lady with 150 hours in Fallout 4 and she never got past the initial starting point after the nuke scene because none of the characters had good fanfiction so she just stayed in her base and hasn't done any of the quests other than the ones where you meet 3 interesting characters who her friends made fan art of or whatever.

Can we just close down the internet?

Does anyone know any good areas with level 60+ enemies to fight? I would like to get some decent high level skell weapons and it seems like level 60+ enemies drop the good stuff more often. The only one I can really think of off the top of my head is the one ganglion tower near the bend in the abyss of Oblivia.

What do you guys dress your characters up with? Once I found a decent pair of jeans and a nice red jacket my avatar was never in anything else.

Bring your Skell to the inside of that giant flower at the very top of Noctilum. Make sure you have a good AoE attack on your Skell and you'll obliterate like 15 level 60 bugs.


...and aggro the lv 90 but it's a pushover for a tyrant of that level.

Just get your skells back and then die on foot to the boss 3 times so it drops the difficulty.

Hover above them on your skell and target aim the top part of the flower, they're breakables.

I'll try it. I didn't see other targeting points when I was fighting them, but I guess I just missed them.

Well, I just spent 90 minutes beating my head against a wall. Quest to fight some Prone in a cave full of flowers and wasps and beetles. They're at the far side of it and halfway through the fight I get about 10 adds for an unknown reason. And it's all on a small island over lava. I'm coming back at 50.

A good example of this game being morbid as Hell, though. "They started skinning her, and when they found out she was a mim they got mad and took their time pulling her apart, screaming for Alfred the whole time."

Is that an Affinity mission because I've done almost every Normal mission and I do not remember that one.

Yeah, I immediately looked up that tyrant and slaughtered it after it didn't proc upon killing Gradivus.

Anyway, my strategy was to pump my ground gear and Ares 90 with as much Evasion as I could, helped further by that one galactic knight skill. I think I was at 523 or so in total, so almost nothing actually hit me. I also added a Fuel Efficiency XX on my ground gear and loaded my Skells with as many Theroid Slayers as I could fit with augments to prevent Flinch, Blaze and Topple on others. Though, Flinch Resort of 100% only blocks the pausing it causes, not the loss of GP and I was still afflicted with Blaze even though my resistance should have been 100%, but whatever. Last but not least, I had an Aug that healed by Skell 20% when entering overdrive.

EDIT: if you want, I can snap a couple screenshots of the build when I get home tonight.

No, you just had to run around and search for every single mission by hand and hope you didn't miss one that only shows up at a different time of day.
