Hello, and welcome to our ongoing guide to every Unique Monster location in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. There's a ton of these massive beasts to find and fight in Monolith Soft's latest adventure โ€” somewhere in the region of around 140 โ€” and plenty of them are super-tough to locate, hidden away in secret areas and hard to reach spots.
