Xenoblade Chronicles X Guide › Data › Secret Files

Off The Record

When you reach level 4 in any BLADE field skill, mysterious missions entitled “Off the Record” will show up in Mission Control. The objectives to these missions are hidden behind riddles, and for good reason: Completing these missions allows you to push your field skills to level 5! Here are the keys to cracking the code.

Archaeological Level 5

“In the court of the forest gods, a brood of sentinels here do flock.”

Discover the Sentinel’s Nest location, located on the east side of the Divine Roost in Noctilum.

“Across the table where titans feast hides an insect you must defeat.”

Defeat Calore, the Lava Walker. This tyrant hides in the lava outside of the Infernal Ledges cave in Cauldros, northwest of Titan’s Table.

“If you seek a pure white shell, to the east does it now dwell.”

Collect white forfex shells from land forfexes or others in Oblivia.

“In fields of green in New LA, ask in the morning to find the way.”

Talk to Solan near Deliverance Park (Residential District) in the morning.

Mechanical Level 5

“Soar deep into the skies and seek the forgotten land’s ultimate peak.”

Discover Mount Edge Peak, the highest point in Oblivia aside from the Floating Reef. Naturally, you’ll need a Skell with the flight module installed for this.

“After dawn o’er land of white, a rare red foe appears to smite.”

Defeat Lyla’s Galdr, a rare tyrant that appears east of Lake Ciel in Sylvalum between 5:00 and 7:00 in the morning. It will appear beneath the Noctilucent Sphere and fly north to a cliff, where it will wait until disappearing at 7:00.

“Etchings of ancient beasts to find? Seek a stony shore in fired climes.”

Collect savage sketches, a rare collectible found on the eastern cliffs of Cauldros.

“In suburban glory in a setting sun, the afflicted tell of what’s to come.”

Talk to Solan in the Residential District in the evening, in an alley in Ishmael Hills.

Biological Level 5

“Take this elevated corn to hand, atop the peaks of a delusional land.”

Collect pale maize, a rare collectible from the top of the Delusian Mountains in Sylvalum.

“Atop the forest’s eternal cascade, a bitter baron awaits the blade.”

Defeat several acid diluses, located on the west side at the top of Everwhelm Falls in Noctilum.

“Above an early land do hover, courting birds whose seal you covet.”

Collect auravis courtship feathers from auravises in Primordia or Oblivia.

“Where ordnance takes first breath, collect your spoils after sunset.”

Talk to Solan in the Outfitters Test Hangar at night.
