Heck, this screenshot I took is a perfect example of just taking in the beauty of the Primordia region - just one of five in the game. Sure, you still have that little minimap that will point out key items and such, but it's not so eye-drawing that you won't be able to step outside of your Skell and enjoy the scenery from time to time. While completionists will just want to run around, hopping from one mission to the next, Xenoblade Chronicles X's map being on the gamepad really helps immerse you into the game. It's particularly useful for swimming across the ocean to get to Sylvalum before you get your Skell License. You will still have to jump or occasionally change the angle you are facing, but otherwise, it can save you some major thumb cramps. Warning: Massive Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2 and X spoilers ahead. This can be activated by holding down R and pressing B. So, Im drawing the entire Collectopedia in Xenoblade Chronicles because we dont have. This is particularly useful for bounty missions, as well as story and affinity missions.Īuto-Run, on the other hand, will spare you at least from holding up on the analog stick.
The list is compiled in such a way that 1) it can be used by players who just started a (new) save file, and 2) it can be used by players with pre-existing save files to check their own probe count and locate any probes they may have. By holding down R and pressing X, players can activate the Follow Ball, which will lead them to whatever goal that is marked on the map. Original introduction This guide aims to list the location of every probe in Xenoblade Chronicles X for Wii U. When I mentioned the Follow Ball and Auto-Run features, several of them had completely forgotten about them!įollow Ball is a useful item that you get after rescuing a certain Nopon that Lin (and my own character, Vic) can't help but stare hungrily at. Even my fellow GameSkinny guide writers have complained about how tedious it is to hold down the forward button for minutes on end or to find where the next mission objectives are.
This can make leveling AMs much easier down the road. Doing so will yield much higher resource collections at the end of each cycle without wasting any of the excess. This can be useful for some missions where ores are required since placing a mining probe in these spots ahead of time can ensure that you have all the items needed ahead of time.Īlso, don't forget to chain identical probes or place container probes. In particular, selecting a probe location can show you what minerals can be mined from that location. However, the usefulness of the probes themselves extends into earning you a decent amount of spending money, Miranium to use at the AM Terminal, and more! This is without mentioning the constant ability to fast travel, search for affinity mission minimum requirements, and function as a standard map by pressing the big green button! Many missions require certain minerals or materials that can only be found by using the FrontierNav's mining features. However, the rest of you need to learn how useful this little Wii U Gamepad feature is! If you aren't in the group that ignores the usefulness of FrontierNav you have earned my respect.
