Mission Walkthrough

For this mission, Gwin comes to you, Elma, and Lin for what amounts to a self-improvement session. Help him become a better soldier and a better BLADE. This affinity mission is a requirement for Chapter 11.

New Affinity Mission: Boot Camp

Train with Gwin to help him get stronger.

Objective 1

Have a practice battle with Gwin in the Outfitters Test Hangar.

Gwin

Lv. 40: Boss

Gwin can use all of the Arts that he’s received up to this point, but he’s a lower level than the rest of you and it’s a three-on-one battle. Handle him the same way you would handle a Ganglion trooper, and you’ll be fine.

Objective 2

Purchase a Soldier Assault Rifle at the shop.

Objective 3

Talk to Gwin in the Outfitters Test Hangar.

Elma gives Gwin a low-level gun for training purposes. With this in mind, it’s off to perform a few sub-missions.

Objective 4

Complete all objectives:

• Elma’s Task A: Defeat two silver suids using a Soldier Assault Rifle in Primordia.
• Elma’s Task B: Defeat two silver femina suids using a Soldier Assault Rifle in Primordia.
• Elma’s Task C: Defeat two tough armored suids with a Soldier Assault Rifle in Primordia.

All of the indigens Elma asks you to fight are below your level, and even though Gwin has a pea shooter with him, you’re allowed to take the whole party, rendering power issues moot. If you have Skells, you can use them for this mission—just make sure Gwin fights on foot and uses ranged attacks. Be sure to equip Gwin with the recently purchased Soldier Assault Rifle if you haven’t done so already. For the tough armored suids, use debuffs to lower physical resistance; otherwise, they can take a while.

Objective 5

Return to the Outfitters Test Hangar in the Industrial District.

After some training, Gwin wants a rematch. Oblige him.

Objective 6

Have another practice battle with Gwin in the Outfitters Test Hangar.

Gwin

Lv. 46: Boss

If you came into the hangar with your Skells, then you can actually use them on Gwin for minimum hassle (and maximum hilarity). Either way, Gwin fights exactly as he did before, except he is now six levels higher than he used to be. Don’t let that extra power throw you off your game.
