Story Mission Walkthrough
Go ahead and eat dinner. Hopefully you’ve gotten your Skell license, but don’t worry too much if you don’t. For this chapter, it’s not really a prerequisite. For the next one, however…
BLADE has found another piece of the Lifehold. It’s not the Core, but it’s still a big find. Unfortunately, there’s a Ganglion fortress nearby. It’s action time.
New Story Mission: Chapter 7
A piece of the Lifehold has been found in Oblivia. Head there and rescue Irina and her team from the Ganglion.
Objective 1
Head to Oblivia’s Ibra Ravine and assist Irina’s team.
The way to the ravine is fairly straightforward, but just the same, the Follow Ball will get you there without any trouble. You arrive just in time to stop Irina and Gwin from essentially going on a suicide run. Instead, keep the enemies busy while they look for an opening and secure the Lifehold piece.
Go straight ahead and prepare to fight a gauntlet of mechs.
Objective 2
Achieve all objectives:
- Defeat the assault Qmoeva.
- Defeat the assault Qmoeva.
Assault Qmoeva x2
Lv. 22: Enemy
Treat these Qmoevas like the last ones you fought—side flanks and back attacks, while attacking as often as possible. Concentrate fire if need be.
Once those are out of the way, reinforcements show up!
Objective 3
Achieve all objectives:
- Defeat the assault Qmoeva.
- Defeat the assault Qmoeva.
- Defeat the pursuit Qmoeva.
Pursuit Qmoeva
Lv. 19: Enemy
A Qmoeva by any other name can still be handled the same way. The odds are tilted slightly more in their favor, however, so be careful. If your party is at least five levels above theirs, you should be just fine.
Objective 4
Head to the Lifehold unit in Oblivia.
Use whatever means you deem necessary to reach your destination, where you see the Lifehold unit sticking out the side of a mountain.
However, you also run into a Ganglion who’s already got a grudge against you. Goetia’s back—with her own ride, Almandal!—and this time it’s personal. Elma makes it personal right back, and the game is on.
Objective 5
Defeat Almandal.
Almandal
Lv. 28: Boss
Almandal is a cut above the Qmoevas you’ve been fighting. Fortunately, it’s a four-on-one fight, and you have Overdrive at your disposal. If you have a Skell, this fight isn’t much to worry about—if you don’t, you’ll have to play smart to pull off the win.
Have your party at least level 31 if you want to stand a chance on foot. Chain and combo all of the attacks you can and let loose all of your debuffs. Almandal hits hard, and faster than any mech you’ve fought thus far despite its size. However, stay persistent and you’ll walk away with the victory.
