Xenoblade Chronicles Quests

      

 Quests

As you journey through the game world, you may receive Quests from the people you encounter.
By completing these Quests and solving people's problems, you can receive rewards and deepen your affinity with those people. Talking to people and taking on their Quests will reveal the relationships between them in all their complexity. There are also some subplots of the story than can only be seen by taking on Quests.

You can proceed through the main story without having to clear Quests, however.

Unique Features

Characters and Weapons

Each character can equip different types of weapons. Some excel at close combat whereas others specialize in long-range attacks. You will need different battle tactics for each character depending on their equipment and personality. The player can change which character they control at any time using the menu. (The player-controlled character cannot be changed during battles.)

The Monado's Powers

The Monado is a weapon imbued with special powers that set it apart from other weapons in the game. As Shulk gradually becomes aware of its power, powerful moves with special effects, known as Monado Arts, become available for you to use.

Battling Mechon

Mechon's tough armor means they are impervious to damage unless a special attack that harnesses the Monado's power is used. The character who wields the Monado releases its power, sharing it with members of the party. This enables all party members' attacks to cause damage to Mechon.

Battling Unique Monsters

Some of the monsters you'll encounter while travelling around the game world are unique monsters with individual names. Unique monsters drop items that are more valuable than those dropped by ordinary monsters when defeated. You'll encounter powerful unique monsters right from the beginning of the story. Don't take them on until you are ready. Bide your time and build up your powers before challenging them.
