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

Close Comrades

Mission Prerequisites

  • Level: 20
  • Complete Chapter 4.
  • Required Members: Elma and Lin.
  • Restricted Members: Doug and Lao.

Mission Walkthrough

Doug has a problem: He can’t find Lao, who was supposed to be his partner on a mission. However, Team Elma can help out. Three suspicious coordinates in Noctilum need investigation. This affinity mission is a requirement for Chapter 7.

New Affinity Mission: Close Comrades

You took on a Pathfinder task with Doug in place of Lao. Head to Noctilum and investigate.

Objective 1
Achieve all objectives:
  • Collect data at Noctilum’s Decapotamon.
  • Collect data at Noctilum’s Decapotamon.
  • Collect data at Noctilum’s Decapotamon.

Q&A Time!

Doug

“HQ’s offering a reward, of course. Either way, drinks are on me once you’re done.”

Answer

Grin: Tell him he’d better know a good place.

Frown: Tell Doug you’d really prefer cash.

Use the mini-map and Follow Ball to lead you to three mysterious flowers, which act as data.

Once you investigate all the sites, you find out that Doug is in battle, but he’s holding, and the mission comes first.

Objective 2
Collect the fourth piece of data at Noctilum’s Qing Long Glade.

The last signal is in Qing Long Glade, and it looks like all of these flowers are drawing indigens! Defend yourselves!

Objective 3
Defeat five arrow germivores in Noctilum’s Qing Long Glade.

Arrow Germivore x5

Lv. 14-16: Enemy

Start with the lower-level germivores, then move to the highest. Have your team concentrate their fire until all are destroyed.

Beat the small fry, and then the big boss joins the fray, backed up by even more germivores! Doug runs in and helps out, making the fight four-on-five.

Objective 4
Achieve all objectives:
  • Defeat five arrow germivores in Noctilum’s Qing Long Glade.
  • Defeat the arrow cinicula in Noctilum’s Qing Long Glade.

Arrow Cinicula

Lv. 18: Boss

Get the germivores out the way absolutely as fast as possible, in the same manner as the previous fight—you don’t want them screwing up your big hits on the cinicula. Bust out your area-of-effect attacks, as the germivores like to bunch up.

Once you’ve taken care of them, attack the cinicula from anywhere but the front. Go for its legs and Topple whenever possible. The cinicula is very slow but it packs a wallop. This can be a long fight even if you’re several levels above the cinicula, but consistency in your tactics will lead to victory.

Objective 5
Talk to Lao on Barista Court in the Commercial District.

Q&A Time!

Doug

“Who doesn’t like chocolates?!”

Answer

Grumble: Demand your own reward.

Interrogate: Ask where Lao was this whole time.

Art Learned: Starlight Duster (Photon Saber)
