Tried to explore and do some quests in
but some of the monsters are guarding entrances and their too high level to attempt to fight... and why did they have to be big spiders ? Major grossness! It's creepy enough having to carefully walk around groups of sound -sensitive insects.

You should be able to kill at least some of them with just one more level. Don't remember what level the spiders are since I only ran through it like once (at level ~72 or so!), but the Slobos (including the unique) are 96 IIRC.Hiltz said:

small Telethia in Alcamoth
Also, anywhere that gives level 4 or 5 sleep resist reasonably quickly? I tried the unique in the final dungeon, but it takes too long and doesn't even seem to have a good chance of dropping a shard due to the adds that come along with him.
Oh, and thanks Man God for letting me know, wouldn't have been happy if I had missed that.

Sleep resist isn't need, you can use Debuff resist, which drops fromchaosblade said:

EDIT
Oops, wrong monster, will fix soon. No, actually it's the right monster. Although I just realised your level might be too low to fight it.

so after finishing Colony Six (word of advice for those who want to zip through it...you can't complete the reconstruction until literally the last room in the last dungeon) I get the final Defense quest :
I say yeah man, that berk is going down, my team is unstoppable. I mean, I can smash those level 85 Gogols with ease
I go there and it's

I was wondering about the lvl 5 Colony 6 stuff. Those tough unique monsters are impeding my progress as well. At least it is easier to level up if you equip all of the EXP UP gems onto a character.
By the way, what level is your party and whose in it ?

like I said, level 84. I use Shulk, Sharla and Reyn/Riki according to the Uniques I've got to fight. For example, against
Veteran Yozel
What issues are you having with the Uniques for reconstruction?
Anasui Kishibe said:
I'm currently just having problems with the uniques in Tephra Cave. I can't get the red orb item in Trader's Stopper because there's a lvl 97 gogol guarding the door. Also, there's a big spider that needs to be defeated to get an item from, but it too is equally as high. With the Reconstruction, I still need to upgrade the last section to lvl. 5 but it requires an inferno element and something else which I think are only available in the "last dungeon" location you spoke of.
Maybe I should have increased affinity for the last character. He's the only one in my party who everyone still hates and also need to upgrade his arts too.

Figure that would be even harder to get. At least I wouldn't have to kill 8 other enemies just to kill the monster I need to!Aveyn Knight said:
Another 10 levels and I can tackle that, only 83. But I know exactly what Man God is talking about, might try that and see how long it takes to take down. I'll probably need to collect some Topple and Daze Plus for that, those look like they are easy to find around Eryth Sea.
In order of importance here is the list of stuff you need to easily handle/break the endgame.
Max Affinity: Raises chain attack rate, allows for more skill links, which in turn can raise the chain attack rate.
Level Six Gems: Agility, Topple, Night Vision, Heat Sink, Ether Up, Spike Defense, Double Attack, Divine Protect/Debuff Resist. Poison/Blaze/Chill up for Riki, Electric(Poison/Blaze/Chill) for Melia.
Lancelot Armour/Glory Gauntlets/7th Character Speed V Armour:
Topple Artes at level X, Monado Armour, Shield, Purge, Cyclone also at X
Level 95-99. I really wouldn't try taking on the last two before 99 as those misses will sting.
To get all that you'll need to have Colony 6 at max, be able to beat the first three 99+ bosses and a few of the other high 90 monsters.

Fortunately that's most of the stuff I've been going for. Ever since I got Monado Armor I've been dumping a lot of points into that, it's extremely useful.Man God said:
Right now I'm looking into raising affinity since I still have several weak links since I never used several combinations of characters together. And I thought the Attack V armor was generally considered better than Speed V, with the exception of the body armor part since that one has a 45% haste built in.

I use it whenever I need to abuse Purge on an enemy, but other than that, there are better gems that can be used.Hiltz said:

Just defeated Avalanche Abassy last night. Halfway through the battle the night turned into morning and I said "OH FUCK" when my guys started to miss miss miss due to the Night vision gems went bye-bye. My party is Shulk, Dunban, and the last character.
Somehow I managed to scrape a win though, many thanks to Shulk's Monado arts.
...And now I think I am done.
With the strongest enemy defeated, I think it's about time I take a break from the world of Xenoblade. First walkthrough: 109 hours. Second walkthrough: 115 hours. Total time: 224 hours.
It's been so much fun, although there were plenty of frustrating moments as well, hahaha.
Thanks, Monolith and NOE. Many thanks.

Running from Colony 9 to Frontier Village with the footage speeded up.
I thought the idea would be cool, but the quality is crap

So I'm about 20 or so hours into this game, and holy shit, I love it. Especially after finishing FFXIII earlier this year, it's really refreshing to not only be allowed to explore vast spaces, but to also be rewarded for doing so. No other game in recent memory has made me feel so compelled to just run around and fill out zone maps. The soundtrack certainly helps with that, of course.
With the exception of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, I don't see myself putting more time into anything else this year.

Not much has happened by that point, but anyway,
Party follows Melia in the tomb because Shulk has a vision that she dies there. Shulk saw Melia at the top of Prison Island with him so he wants to help her out because of that too and to try to get in.
Also, just made it to

That part of the plot is probably the slowest/least interesting part (it was for me) plus there's an abundance of sidequests that can knock you off track - the part following those areas though, there's more focus on story and the sidequests are throttled for a good while so it does balance out
The story after there goes insanely awesome

Jenna-Louise Coleman - Melia

Voice acting is definitely better than I expected. Can't even play with the Japanese option, maybe I'm just used to the English but a lot of the voices don't seem to match the character. Especially Dickson.Oxx said:
In other pictures I saw she looked like an older version of one of those girls creepy-GAF was going on about, I wasn't impressed. She looks pretty good in the airbrushed photo above though.Wiseblade said:

You probably shouldn't use Shulk for that fight due to the issues with the Monado, obviously. Don't remember if either of the enemies has a talent art they use though.
I took out the telethia first and it seems most people recommend that. Not sure what I did (beat it on my first try) but Dunban with good agility with gems+skill links if possible and high ether defense armor will probably be enough to dodge most physical attacks and take any ether damage. If you can get aggro up on Dunban for both enemies you should be set since he'll dodge a lot, and have Sharla around to heal when he does take damage. Melia is the best choice for the last character if you're using her, otherwise Riki is probably the best bet since Reyn will screw up Dunban's aggro and eat damage, thus requiring more healing.

That's just kind of off the top of my head, can't really think of anything else other than just making sure your weapons and armor are up to date, your gems are set efficiently, and you're high enough level. Don't remember what level enemies you're fighting there.

But you're definitely rushing the game, and I'd say you're missing out on a lot of great stuff in doing so. Just more for you to see when you eventually come back to it, right?
Managed to beat that lvl 87 lizard monster at Kromar Island last night. It put up a good fight despite being at level 91 and had two characters equipped with debuff resist gems.
