I need your help guys! Possible Spoilers I am about to leave Agniratha but before I have to face Gadolt for the second time. The problem is I CANNOT beat! I have spent, I kid you not, over 5 hours in total trying to beat this guy! I thought maybe I would have to grind and so I did, I went from level 64 to 69 but he still kicks my butt every time! Anyone know how to beat him?

Gadolt gave me a lot of trouble too. My trick to defeating him was to try to topple him as much as possible, especially after "vision" sequences and right at the beginning of the battle. If you can topple him during his power that calls for additional badguys, he won't get the help and you can focus on him. I used Dunban, Shulk, and Rikki, with a Topple Up gem on the Monado. I didn't use any Chain Attacks so I was able to revive a lot, and then for healing I used Shulk's Light Heal and Rikki's healing power (I forgot what it's called..Riki is Angry?). His Linear Laser power is able to be blocked by the Monado Shield but it's the Laser Bullet that's really tough. GOOD LUCK!

@Mr_DSi: are you kidding? i don't recall being level 69 until well after that point — you shouldn't be having that many problems beating him (because i sure didn't, haha). my questions would be what party you're using, whether you have the best armor and gem setup possible on them, and when's the last time you looked at their Arts to level them up too (if you're using Shulk, don't forget to level up his Monado arts too).

another question would be 'at what point are you dying'... are you unable to inflict decent damage? are you constantly having to revive a downed party member? what seems to be the problem? if you're having issues with Gadolt now, you're gonna keep having issues after him too.

congrats on being overleveled for what is to come, though! I wish i had been level 69 that early on :3

Okay, I'm at Fallen Arm and have seen all the major cutscenes there, so I'm feel like I'm ready to read and contribute to this thread again without accidently encountering too many spoilers.

I'm now going to go back and do a lot of stuff in previous areas before moving on now that I have the full party available. In particular, I've got one last unique monster to beat in Sword Valley and a certain something to blow up. I've also unlocked some new heart-to-hearts and still haven't completely explored Eryth Sea, Valek Mountain, or Fallen Arm.

@SamuraiShyGuy At least continue to explore the areas, as unlocking the landmarks provides at lot of easy EXP that will help prevent grinding later on. You should also continue to accept most of the quests, as many of them are just "defeat so many of a certain monster" that you'll complete without even trying. Also, if you're bored with Shulk, just switch to a different character, as they all play quite differently. While Shulk relies on positioning and works best against the Mechon, Reyn is a physical close combat tank, Sharla is a combination long distance sniper and medic, Dunban is a more balanced swordsman who also uses auras and a few other more unique talents, etc. The only one I really don't like playing as is Slight Spoiler Melia, who requires too much planning ahead with her elemental summonings.

I should really get back into this soon. I was forced to take a break from Xenoblade Chronicles, because of how much time I spent completing every single sidequest that has been available. I had just finished completing every available sidequest in Frontier Village, the last time I had played. I planned to return to the game, and make sure there were no more new sidequests available in any previous areas. Then I was going to visit the Eyrth Sea, for my first time. It's been months, since I last played. I had already reached 100 hours of playtime.

It is interesting to see stuff that hasn't been relevent since the early parts of the game come back FIFTY HOURS LATER. That's gotta be a new record.

It might be different for some people as the length of the game can vary greatly due to the amount of sidequests there are. Which part of the game are you referring to anyway?

Gadolt is a definite grind moment in the game. I beat him finally at level 70. Make sure you have the best armor equipped (no matter how silly it looks). I didn't have any real strategy aside from that. I used Sharla, Reyn, and controlled Shulk. I did as much damage as I could with Shulk from behind and warned Reyn to use his Last Stand whenever Gadolt was about to kill him. Gadolt seemed to ignore Sharla for me. When Gadolt summons back up, I make sure everyone stays targeted on him. I'll take out one of his henchmen with Shulk but not both of them since Gadolt just kept respawning them when I did that.

...in my pants.

I take it you were referring to the visions then. Also, the end of Prison island is the half-way point in the story. That seems like the half-way point to me anyway.

I think I was about level 52 when I won that fight (I'm not completely sure as it was quite a while ago) so you should probably grind a bit.

@FonistofCruxis turns out I only needed to be two levels higher... And spam the monado buster. I thought I would get something for not going after the other two but apparently not. The cutscene after beating him was SOOOOOO satisfying! And now I'm stuck on gadolt...

Honestly, this game is better than Chrono Trigger. So basically for those keeping track at home, Xenoblade > Chrono Trigger > Radiant Historia (granted, Xenoblade I'm comparing it to to brag about how amazing the game is while Radiant Historia I compared to Chrono Trigger because they were fairly similar). Or at the very least, it is to gaming now as Chrono Trigger was in 1995. It is somewhat less of a controversial statement for me considering Chrono Trigger is only barely in my top 10 favorite RPGs, and I've heard people say that Persona series I need to play is also better. But that being said, it is the first game I've played since Mother 3 that even has any chance of possibly being in like my top 25 games of all time (note: there's been ton of great games since then but a lot of them are just barely not that good, pretty much). Any game where I can run around doing mediocre sidequests and getting distracted by the story for the billionth time and is still a ton of fun, really is THAT good. The combat is a ton of fun (although admittedly often just comes down to spamming random attacks until I win), the story is a good mix of cliche and creativity, the characters are likable and memorable (which is rare for modern day jrpgs), the voice acting is good and the decision to not change the voice acting in the American version ended up as a brilliant choice to make it stand out (and god forbid NOA is ever allowed to choose voice actors again), the soundtrack is amazing, it's almost definitively the most impressive looking game on the Wii. And there's something to be said about making a game this good by combining what works with western and japanese RPGs, it's like both genres shook hands and said "you've done well" and then made this game. Especially nice to see considering the western vs. japanese gaming debates are only somewhat less horribad compared to hardcore vs. casual debates. If you are trying to be on one side of that debate, you are wrong. And probably should be laughed at.

Got the game about a week back, It took me awhile to get into it but now that I have more time, I realize how great it is. I'm only 8 hours in and I just arrived at Colony 6 but I can tell it'll be a lot of fun!

Just picked up Xenoblade and I must say that I am happy with my decision. I'm only about 10 hours into the game and already I can see that it's one of the best RPG games on the wii. This game definitely took my focus away from Monster Hunter Tri.

I just finished Xenoblade and I can truly say this game was frickin amazing. The story and characters was surprisingly good along with the battle system. I love how the game was really long and of course the music. I love Chrono Trigger, probably my favorite game ever, which I played last summer. This game is in the same league. Definitely has "Masterpiece" status for me. I don't know if it beats Chrono Trigger for me but it's in the same area. Definitely one of the highest points on the entire Wii console. Going to play new game plus while waiting for the Last Story now. Nice to finally be able to post on this thread without fear of spoilers.
