Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles 2

@AlternateButtons what's wrong is you don't have Nia (healer)

Also it's not required to be over leveled to win. I beat the game without using the inns at all except in the beginning of the game i used it to gain 1 level on all party members and never used it again.

@AlternateButtons Use spoiler tags.

@AlternateButtons It's alright man. We are trying to help you. Did you beat Malos?

Spoilers for End of Cliffs of Morytha Ahead:

@NinjaAceTrainer Not on your first playthrough, it seems to be a New Game+ feature. As for spoiler tags, [spoiler]Text[/ spoiler] (without the space between "/" and "spoiler")

@Grumblevolcano Thanks, I've added those in.

@NintenNinja16 Get a tank in your party and/or use lure to pick off enemies one by one. That isn't the last hallway in the World Tree, so it might be worth doing some sidequests and resting at an inn to get bonus exp., as there is a later room which is much more difficult. Or, if you want to cheese that room completely, kill a few of the enemies, then just run past the remaining ones to the end of the hall, cutscene activates, and you're safe.

@NinjaAceTrainer @Grumblevolcano

Thanks for the responses to my post, I was able to beat the chapter and continue on to 9 after doing some side quests and such, I currently have the main story on hold to get Poppy’s third form

@AlternateButtons Swap Zeke for Tora if survivability is an issue (assuming Poppi is still built as a tank). Two tanks + healer isn't the fastest way to get through fights, but it is safer. I have Tora with an HP-boosting accessory while Morag naturally has agility booster shoes instead.

Also, whenever Jin does his Stunned Swallow move, you can avoid it by running around (so you don't attack and trigger the launch counter) until it finishes.

@AlternateButtons That's awesome you finished that part. I used two tanks as well for pretty much the last half of the game. I didn't have Rex as a dedicated healer though, blade Nia is enough. Her specials deal damage and heal the party at the same time. Are you doing Break> Topple> Launch> Smash during battles? When you do all those successfully you get items and hp potions and it does a lot of damage.

@AlternateButtons Has Chapter 7 taught you nothing about Rex's ability to bring people out of crippling, suicidal depression? He's literally doing to Jin what he just did for Mythra (that's what I chose, she's just a lot cooler, funnier and more believable, both physically and as a character. Her terrified expression at seeing Rex fight for her at the cliff spoke louder to me than any of Pyra's pleas. Also, the way she crouches in one of her idle animations is something I also tend to do, so bonus for identification) and, to a lesser extent, Nia. You're kind of exaggerating his evil; Malos is the one in charge, the real psychopath (but even that has deeper roots... you'll see), Jin's just following because he was approached and offered a compelling argument in a state of weakness, same as the rest of Torna. A psychopath enjoys killing and inflicting suffering; Jin doesn't, but Malos sure does.

Made my way to chapter 8. I feel kind of overpowered at the moment thanks to things that happened.

@8-Bit_Zorldo Just move the plot forward until you get your driver back, none of these segments last for long.

Gotten totally side tracked with dev leveling and merc missions. World is not getting saved anytime soon, but 5 blades helped deliver a lunch box! I just wish the merc missions used system time instead of game play time.

@8-Bit_Zorldo If it's when (don't look before the end of Chapter 7(?)) You engage Nia as a blade then no, I don't think that there's another way, annoying as it is.

@NinjaAceTrainer Spoiler tags.

@8-Bit_Zorldo @Grumblevolcano Really sorry, thought I put them in...

@NinjaAceTrainer Looking at the comment when you quote the post, it seems that the ")" in ) breaks the spoiler bracket, if you have a space between the ")" and [Spoiler], it should work.

)[Spoiler]Test

Alternatively you could use "s" instead of "S" for the spoiler tags as for some reason this works:
)Test

@Grumblevolcano You've tagged it successfully. I tried to go back and edit the spoiler tags in, but it won't work for some reason.

@Grumblevolcano Success! It seems that it was the upper case S causing the issue. Thank you very much.
