It's a good thing that there aren't multiple choices that occur due to a choice... Then I would have to do many more playthroughs...

@TysonQ7, thank the gods that isn't the case, or I actually might still be playing Xenoblade Chronicles on my deathbed. lol

@theblackdragon: I've been trying to make sure I always press b at the right time but I've also been just talking to different quest givers with different characters since I always see little hearts go up. But its just not going as fast as I'd like. I guess i'll just have to sick it up.

Just achieved 5-Star Affinity with Clolony 9!

I guess he does mind.

@TysonQ7, job nicely done my friend. How many sidequests did you have to complete before unlocking the fifth affinity star?

@G4L
I have 63 Colony 9 Quests done, not including story.
Though I honestly hate choice quests. They make me feel bad...
Oh well, there's always next playthrough.

I finally understand what you guys meant, when you said the ether mines boss is hard. I still don't understand how the whole affinity thing works though.

Well, randomly during battles, characters may dodge attacks or perform strong auto-attacks. When this happens, a blue circle appears, and if you Press B when the red line is on or inside the circle, your characters gain affinity. Characters that have high affinity levels can see Heart-To-Hearts, help each other in Gem Forging, and I believe also are more powerful together, though I don't know about that last one.

Hey this kinda boss creature is one level below me how hard could he be-
died

oh

@Golden-Darkness, I hope you're not referring to the Queen Aracno. That boss was so damn easy, and I didn't take damage one single time during that battle. I really cannot phathom how anybody could find that battle difficult. Even in the very slightest regard. lol

Well, I didn't, but that wasn't very nice. Of course, you have no clue what he's talking about, so I will laugh if you die at the place he's talking about. I was OP and almost died.

I'm sorry if you found that statement offensive @Golden-Darkness, because I wasn't trying to be abrasive. I didn't even know which boss you were referring to, anyways. I feel pretty stupid for making that remark, in the first place. I apologise if I seemed like I was being a d*¢k.

Does anybody know where the hell the Wallslide Gwynry is hiding at Mag Mell Ruins in Tephra Cave. I don't see how this monster could be so elusive, because there's literally nowhere to hide in that area. Some of these sidequests are pretty annoying, and for the most ridiculous reasons too.

Oh, I went to bed.
I'll check soon before I leave today if you're still interested.

@G4L
Don't worry about it. Anyways, the Gwynry is in the room that branches to the left and right-- it's on the right. It caught me by surprise and almost got me.
ANYWAYS, Spoiler
Just got to Eryth Sea! It's so big! TOO MANY PLOT DEVICES!!

Also:
DUNBAN YOU'RE EMBARASSING RIKI!

@BenAV, yes we're still interested!

@TysonQ7, thanks again, but could you be a little more specific as to the location my friend? It wasn't that really large bunnit, was it? I already killed that monster. If so, my game must be malfunctioning or something.

If you're talking about the quest with that soldier, then I know what you mean. Although apparently no matter which choice you chose, something bad happens.

I just had a look through my achievements and from the look of them, I'm pretty sure that achievements are carried through as there's no way I've completed all that on the second playthrough alone.
I can't say 100% that they are, but I'm about 95% sure.

Well I'm pretty far ahead in the game, about to

about to fight the first disciple. How do I damage it, because all of my hits are only doing 100's. And I'm fighting with Shulk, Dunban, and Sharla, all of which are at lvl. 72

Sigh
Okay, you get to Magmell, go up the "stairs" go into the next room, go straight ahead, then take a right.

If you've fought Gwynry before getting the quest, he'll take a while to respawn again. I had to save and load a few times before it would re-appear.
