Xenoblade Chronicles X Guide › The Miran Unification Quest › Affinity Missions

Arms and the Man

Mission Prerequisites

  • Level: 28
  • Affinity: Yelv (2 Hearts)
  • Complete Chapter 6.
  • Complete the “Meeting Yelv” affinity mission.
  • Required Members: Yelv.

Mission Walkthrough

Once again, you and Yelv meet up at Mission Control to decide what tasks to take on. For Yelv, however, the selection, proves…unsatisfactory.

Q&A Time!

Yelv

“You got any inside tips on something with a bit more kick?”

Answer

Agree: Tell Yelv that you have seen things that would blow his mind.

Shrug: Tell Yelv that you’ve got nothing.

Q&A Time!

Yelv

“My buddy and me would even sneak off-base and moonlight as bouncers in seedy bars.”

Answer

Agree: Join in on Yelv’s plan.

Inquire: Ask about Yelv’s army days.

New Heart-to-Heart Mission: Arms and the Man

It seems that Yelv is a bit bored with his current missions. Listen to local gossip and find something interesting for him to do.

Objective 1
Eavesdrop in the Commercial District and look for some interesting work.

The info you’re looking for is in the southwestern area of the yellow radius given on the mini-map, in the Commercial District.

Objective 2
Head to the Sunshine Café in the Commercial District.

Q&A Time!

Yelv

“I’m sold, pard! Sold hard!”

Answer

Urge: Ask Yelv what he is waiting for.

Resist: Wonder aloud if there are more pressing missions.

Objective 3
Look for the washed-up wreckage on Oblivia’s Great Washington Isle.

You’re headed to the southeast island off the coast of Oblivia. It’s easy to get there, especially if you have a Skell on hand. Once there, you run into trouble.

Q&A Time!

Yelv

“What do you figure their kind even makes of the old ship, huh?”

Answer

Observe: Say that it is just a place for them to hole up for the night.

Speculate: Wonder if they collect the wreckage as treasure.

Objective 4
Defeat three unyielding forfexes on Oblivia’s Great Washington Isle.

Unyielding Forfex x3

Lv. 28: Enemy

Forfexes aren’t tough, or smart, but they are bigger than you if you’re fighting on foot, and they have tough hides that can give Skells a hard time. Flank and concentrate your fire on one at a time, emphasizing damage-dealing Arts. You want to value speedy kills here more than anything.

Objective 5
Investigate the wreckage on Oblivia’s Great Washington Isle.

Q&A Time!

Yelv

“I knew it! He’s out there! He’s alive!”

Answer

Stare: Tell Yelv that you do not understand what he is saying.

Soothe: Suggest that Yelv calms down.

Q&A Time!

Yelv

“It’s about my best friend, so let’s keep it between us, yeah?”

Answer

Agree: Promise Yelv that you will not tell a soul.

Offer: Tell Yelv that he can wait if he prefers to.

Q&A Time!

Yelv

“Even gave his mimeosome the same cross-shaped scar he had.”

Answer

Inquire: Ask Yelv what his friend was like.

Caution: Tell Yelv that his friend is likely dead.

Q&A Time!

Yelv

“Guess I can’t help thinking about him when I see you. Can’t help talking, either.”

Answer

Inquire: Ask how you fit in with all this.

Speculate: Ask if there is some kind of physical resemblance.

Art Learned: Emission Exchange (Photon Saber)
