Once you get the yellow box it will label the relevant segment as 'new', tap it to see the info. Not every bit of treasure adds to your survey rate, only certain ones in 'treasure' segments (as opposed to tyrant/quest segments).

It needs to be a specific treasure or tyrant. As for the info, you don't need to read it when they pop. You'll see the info on your segment map, with the word "New" appearing on the segment map to see the name of the tyrant to kill or what kind of treasure you need to seek.

I think it has to be a specific treasure. Earlier today I opened a treasure and that marked a segment on my map as complete (without having any segment info for it).

Just 100% the survey rate. My last tyrant wasn't the Telethia but rather the fog only one in the weeping whitewood. It is notably missing from this gallery I was using for the others I was missing.
Telethia fight was really anti-climatic with its ether attacks only doing 1 damage to me. It looks like the other high level tyrants use multiple elements of attack so some damage will be taken but based on what I've played they are certainly doable with what I have currently (I think reward tickets really break post game progression but even with that being broken it is a tad grindy for my likes). There is also the ground only Sharnaak's Seidr (which melee builds apparently have a lot of trouble with).

There was a segment near that I thought it was but it turned out to be something else. Kind of odd Telethia is the only super one to get a segment.
You
let someone get blown up didn't you? The only way to prevent that is from some random yellow speech bubble somewhere about difusing bombs. Once you take the bomb off the person still dies from poisoning anyway but the body is intact so forensics and Ackwar can figure out the pizza is doing it. On the other hand you get more dialogue from Powell with Ackwar being dead.

Oh.

Oh.
Well,
I wouldn't say I let Gerome blow up. I thought they were serious about the impact thing if he went to the water, so I rolled with it. I actually also found that bubble but didn't really read it either -_-
I've had the same issue. Target switching response seems erratic in a crowd.

Welp I think the game stopped being fun. Just got Ares 90 and you guys weren't joking. It's too fucking powerful.

Sounds like you're not fighting the monsters that will rekt it.
Well it really is worth the effort of grinding for materials.

This is why I plan on just focusing on making an effective ground build (that and I don't want to figure out how to get enough storage for the Miranium.)
Dear Monolith,
If you make a game were you force 3 non playable partners on me, that can't seem to keep of ledges/lava, and make your plateforming horrendous, please don't force me to take a boss in a cave full of lava to force me to stay on minuscule plateforms, where simply using my artes pushes me in said lava, and my partners spend their (short) fight in the same lava.
Thanks.
Edit: no seriously, anyone has some tips for Boze's last affinity mission?
As it stands, I have no real problem with the boss itself; the lava is just killing me everytime.

Just flied to Cauldros, still one shoting.Oblivia is the only region without a superboss though
But yeah I'm sure I'll need to play more strategically against 2 or 3 tyrants.

The Cauldros superboss can't be reached on a skell, the rest are pretty one shottable. Unless you count that guy on top of the volcano a superboss which I guess you can say he's the weaker of the batch

Wow I can totally see why some people are saying this game can be overwhelming. I've had like 3 fights and the AI is already asking me to topple the enemies and destroyed a limb with no idea how I did it. Guessing this stuff is explained later but it is kinda odd how it drops it all on you straight away with hardly a basic combat tutorial.
Also, what an opening when you get past the first valley. Wow.

Equip your party with electric resistance armors up to 100. Also, terrain damage reducer xx is your friend if you have problems with platforms.

I don't know what you were using so I'll list while I was using. My augments were as follows (XX unless otherwise stated). I'll spoiler it in case people want to figure things out of their own. Also some names might be wrong.Skell frame: Side damage up, Above damage up (not too useful for first and third phases as it was flying at the celling anyway), Ether damage up. Armour: All ether res up (ether res of 140). Weapons: 3 custom speed on agni gatling (and the built in one maxed), 2 ultrafauna slayer, 2 ranged accuracy up, 2 ranged attack up, crush append, two draw opening form chests and negate reflect ether (it didn't do it but important to have if it does). There are some augments slots empty (lack of materials to fill them).
Ground wear ultra infinite skell wear (farmed from FN224) giving level XIV: fuel efficiency, potential drive, ranged attack drive (*2), ranged accuracy drive (*2) (arms drop latter two fairly frequently). Augments: Ranged attack drive XX,ranged accuracy drive XX.
In total it ate over half a fuel tank and I didn't get the chance to use overdrive (it drained my GP in the second phase, I think you can dodge that by exiting Skell but you have to be careful you don't get yourself killed). I don't know if RNG meant some super devastating attacks failed to show up for me. Main tricks I can think of are to stand in the foiliage during the second phase so if it does topple you it can't hit with its melee attacks. Also negating sleep by having an attack animation going during that attack on the third phase (though the one time I was put to sleep I still only took one damage). Also always attack from side where possible (phase 2 I conceded) as agni gatling gets bonus damage (the amount of players I see not doing this...).

Same build gets around 170 kills on the Telethia nemesis.
Oh, terrain damage reducer is under special augments, not weather augments...
Thanks, the boss isn't hard, it was just this damn lava...

How do you check the Volkampf total?
Welp, ~20 hours in, just beat Chapter 5. Officially a fan of this game. Combat is fluid and rhythmic, the music is surprisingly fitting (I enjoyed Sawano's work for Kill la Kill, so I knew what to expect - a bit Metal Gear Rising-esque, actually), and the depth of everything is welcome.
While I do miss how story driven the first game was, X is just so... scaled. Running around doing meaningless fetch quests doesn't usually feel so bad when the world is just so damn pretty. The dialogue/pauses in-between/overall animation and models is pretty poor for the characters, but it's almost one of those "FPS drops in ____ Warriors" kind of things - it's just something you have to accept for the series. However, my entire experience has changed completely ever since I actually started using the fashion gear - there are some downright hilarious combinations that kind of change the tone of things quite a bit, but honestly with how hammy things are anyways, it kind of works out. Here's some crappy Miiverse screenshots:
Lin as Tina Belcher will remain for the rest of the game, I think. Also does anyone know if there becomes an ability later to shop for basic/fashion gear, or is it mostly tied to sidequests? Wish there was some kind of database of armor/clothes sets with pictures!

Ok game, round 3 for an EM storm in Cauldros.
I'm not leaving till I get it.
Current accumulated time count of returning to skell for this stupid EM storm...2 hours

Not sure if trust L lol
Been playing this game since Christmas and having so much fun. Seriously, this game is like a drug. Every time I put it down, I keep thinking about it again and want to play. Thank god I work from home otherwise I would be screwed. lol I am over 100 hours in and just now got my Skell. You guys wasn't kidding when you say it changes the game. I spent hours trying to get a built I like and died a lot trying out different combinations. Thankfully, I masted the perfect ejection and restart if I mess up. I also see why so many loved the G-Buster.
The story is interesting and do have a few nods to Xenogears, especially when the ship got destroyed, and surviving on a new planet. I honestly thought the twist was going to like Xenogears. The cast is nowhere near as strong as Xenoblade, but I didn't expect it to be. I enjoy the characters in the game for what they bring. And even though the story isn't as strong, the gameplay is ace. It took all the problems I had with Xenoblade and not only fixed them, but made them even better. The world feels more alive, the quests are better, and the battle system is tight.
Can't give my final impressions until the end, but I will say that this game is too different from Xenoblade, outside of the mechanics, to make a fair comparison. I liked the story, characters in Xenoblade, and vision mechanics, but the world of XBC feels much more alive and dangerous. I have never been so scared sneaking past mobs that can kill me. And I have a giant freaking robot.
So far, one of my favorite games this year.

Can't you just enter the Cauldros Waters and then go back in to reset the weather constantly?
Wyndstryker

Never tried that method.
Might not work for you, my level is way above that boss, but I just rushed and jumped to the little cave in the corner next to the boss and fought him there. With luck a few of your team may get there with you, but I ended up soloing that bastard with my electric immune dude. Level 35 L just couldn't survive a few hits. See below where I fought him.

You are doing it between 05:00 and 06:59. EM storms can only happen during those times because ???

Actually does "Return to Skell" even work for resetting weather?
also this, you can reset it as many times as you want but if it's not the right time it won't matter

2.7 million down, another 1.8 to go to buy this level 50 amdusias.
I wish there were more research probes to make this grind faster. My brain's going numb from collecting these crystals in the cave.

It works.
It can be anyone in your party. Maybe the enemy died too fast? If the party member specifically won't use that weapon (instead using the other weapon they hold), it doesn't count.
Ohhhh, oops. I completely forgot they'd probably switch to their melee weapon. Makes sense, thanks.

It's enough though if they get even one hit with the weapon (or art).
Finished last chapter yesterday I'm at 110ish hours.
Story was interesting with some good plot twist, I had 3 level 50 skells (heavy,medium and light) and did not had any issue with the last boss as I was lvl 60 lol.
I don't think I will do the end game though, too much grinding to get the higher level Skell frames.

Yelv: worst character, or best character?
Both are because of the mystery that is planet Mira. Hopefully Monolithsoft is already making a sequel to explain the mystery.
As someone who has not performed his affinity missions yet, worst character. Maybe I'll warm to him later, though. His battle dialogue isn't bad but his introduction quest acting was terrible.
MagiusNecros
Gilgamesh Fan Annoyance
One of the best. Everyone should do his last affinity quest. I do like his battle dialogue.
