@NinjaAceTrainer I think Shulk will be the DLC Blade.

@Grumblevolcano Aren't Torna's Blades the DLC blade(s)?

@NinjaAceTrainer New Game Plus isn't DLC, it's a free update for everyone. The DLC blade is the blade you get later on in the year if you bought the expansion pass.

@Grumblevolcano Oh, that's great! Thanks a lot for that. If it is Shulk, that would be amazing. Alvis, Malos or Jin would be good too.

@edhe As I understand it, you can change your level all willy-nilly.

@EvilLucario You wouldn't be able to increase to the original level as you've already used some of the bonus XP. It mainly depends on how expensive the items are.

@Grumblevolcano Either way, getting back to level 99 isn't hard, and if you know how the game works you can kill anything at massively lower levels.

I for one would be happy if all the enemies stayed at their regular levels in NG+. That way I can start the game over at level 71 (where I left off my original playthrough), and gradually hopefully work my way up to level 80 or even 90 by just playing the game.

@NinjaAceTrainer Now you got it.

Well, that went great. I'm at the final boss. I lost twice to it and I was doing great on my third try but then just as I was about to kill one of the reinforcement guys (which I'd guess was the last one of those since the boss didn't have much energy left) that enemy used its blowdown attack and sent me down to my death. That was enough for today. At least I know to position myself better next time.

I am lvl 50+ just trying to get through the chapters/story now...i will do everything else in ng+. On chapter 5, but these are so long.

@Late Yeah, blowdown deaths suck. You should seal reinforcements with a dark blade combo finisher, or seal blowdown with a wind blade combo finisher.

@NinjaAceTrainer Yes. I tried a different team and my dark blades were on Mòrag. I was starting to think I somehow didn't set those blades since she didn't switch from Brighid until the first reinforcements appeared. And once I got rid of them, she started using just Brighid again. I think I didn't have any wind blades in that battle either since I switched Roc out for Nia. I wanted to try out the new move and see how powerful it is.

@Late Fair enough. If you are having trouble completing any blade combo though, just activate Pyra/Mythra's true form.

@NinjaAceTrainer That's what I did just before the guy appeared who killed me. I had Rex, Tora and Mòrag (don't really care about my damage input at the moment, mainly want to stay alive so I have two tanks just in case) so I had to have either Nia or one of Mòrag's two dark blades start the combo to get a dak finisher.

I should have started the combo with Nia before changing Pyra's form but I forgot. I waited for Mòrag to switch her blades but after a while I stopped waiting and started a different combo.

Anyway, it wasn't a big deal. I was doing fine until I got hit by the blowdown. I'm sure I'll be able to finish the game today. Thank you for your tips even though I was aware of those things already. I didn't pay much attention to the seal effects until I read one of the posts here where they were mentioned and I've been doing fine without them. This is the only boss in addition to the Temperantia boss that has killed me 3 times and I'm glad the final boss isn't a pushover.

Hello!

i have 2 question regarding some quests with blades :

1*)- It's regarding the little girl blade that has a white bear : i went to the inn to start the quest to unlock a skill but i accidentally hit the "cancel" button right when she said she wanted to go near a "blue cliff" or something, and since there is no indicator, i don't really know where it is in the titan....
Can someone tell me where is the place she wants to go please?

2*)- It's about the blade quest where i need to inspect 2 locations to retrieve a golden gantelet....i just did that and know my journal tells me to go to guura to meet the personn near the windmill plaza, but there is no blue quest indicator, nor an icon near the house .....i'm afraid this is a bug (((((
Has somebody experienced something similar? maybe i should update my game but i'm a bit afraid that other bug star appearing^^^^i'm on 1.1.0 and chapter 6.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

@maelis, if that second one is the one I'm thinking, Vess, they'll only be on the porch during daytime (I'm betting it was night time when you warped back to Torigoth).

Just finished the game. On my previous three times, I kept just adding more orbs and never used the chain attack in case I'd die as soon as I've finished using it. Now the boss was just about to call reinforcements for the first time while it was at half health. I used my chain attack and the boss died before I'd even broken all of the orbs (there were 5) with a full burst. I could have killed it on my previous tries as well if I'd known I'd do that much damage. Oh well, not that big of a deal.

The game was really good. I don't think I've ever played an RPG for 2 months straight (well, other than Pokémon). I played less during chapter 7 but I never completely abandoned it. I had hard time turning the game on for that month I spent in that chapter but every time I did, I was reminded how much I like the game. I will explore a bit more before switching to another game. I haven't done any exploration after chapter 7 so there's going to be a lot to discover. Before I started playing less, I went and explored pretty much every place I could up to Mor Ardain but I haven't set a foot in Temperentia after the boss battle there. I remember reading here that it's a lot bigger than what it seemed at first glance. That's why I decided to continue with the story after I'd ran all over Mor Ardain because I'd already been exploring for over 10 hours.

Anyway, I'm glad I can finally say I've finished it. I'm pretty sure the ending was even cooler for people who finished Xenoblade Chronicles. I didn't. I think I'm in Sword Valley. I could see some connections between the two games though.

@RR529

Unfortunately i tried at daytime and i still see nothing ((( only in my journal it says that i need to go back torigoth to give the gauntlet...that smells like a bug ((((

@maelis Ursula has a heart to heart at the Cobalt Cliffs at the beginning (north) of Uraya's Stomach area. For the Vess quest, activate it on the quest screen, then go to the place where you need to go in Torigoth. Change the time of day until you see the quest marker appear on the quest locator at the top of the screen. What you are describing does not sound like a bug, so this should work.
