Remarkable title amidst all the Wii flops!
Once this started as a nondescript announcement of a Wii game that many criticized in advance... until the first trailer was released. Immediately, the originality, the amazing graphics, and the beautiful concept were apparent. That was also the reason for me to get Xenoblade Chronicles on the day of its release, and I haven't regretted it for a second!
You start without a clue. Just thrown into one big world and sent from pillar to post. But in a fun way, since that big world was also a very beautiful world. With stunning graphics, large, colorful, and imaginative environments, and smooth controls. When the story started to become clear, the party began. I was glued to my Wii for dozens of hours, and there was no excuse to stop. It was that beautiful.
Yes, I'm talking about dozens of hours of gameplay here. To finish the storyline, you're already in for quite a few hours, but to complete the game 100%, you'll need to take a few weeks off. There are so many side quests, collectible items, and more. And this, paired with smooth controls, a great combat system, and an immersive storyline, makes the game a real standout on the Wii!

Tips and secrets, cheats and codes
8 tips: 6 Personal tips - 1 Secret - 1 Easter Egg/GlitchPersonal tip:
How to defeat a difficult boss in Xenoblade Chronicles when you're stuck?
Push him off a cliff!
Some bosses in the game are located near high cliffs in Xenoblade Chronicles. Lure the boss towards the cliff and use Melia's Sleepmind. Now quickly use Spear Break to push the boss off the cliff.
If the cliff is high enough, the boss will die instantly and you'll get the loot. Very useful for collecting strong equipment early in the game.
Tip: dropping them in deep water works too.
Personal tip:
How to easily defeat all bosses with Topple in Xenoblade Chronicles?
Topple attacks (the green ones) are without a doubt the best in the game Xenoblade Chronicles. Topple causes the enemy to fall helplessly to the ground for a few seconds. This makes your attacks 100% accurate, regardless of the level difference. Each new Topple attack adds a few more seconds to the "timer," so to speak.
You'll need Dunban as the leader, and Reyn and Shulk are the best for your team. Equip them all with gems that extend Topple duration and make sure their Topple attacks are significantly boosted (quicker reload).
Attack a weak enemy and bring its HP down to almost 0. Stop attacking and lure the enemy towards the boss. Now defeat the enemy with Demon Slayer, and the boss will fall. This is because Demon Slayer forces Topple on all enemies when you defeat an enemy with the attack.
Now you can start with nonstop Topple attacks. Make good use of Chain Attacks, and the boss will never be able to get back up!
Tip: during the Topple status, you can also use Daze attacks (the yellow ones) to further paralyze the boss.
Secrets:
How can I use overtrading to obtain difficult items?

Do you also often find your collection overflowing with rare items but no need for money? Sometimes, for quests, you do need to find some hard-to-find items that can take hours. An easier way is to trade with someone. Choose an item with a market price of, for example, 4000 gold. Offer an item worth at least 4 times that amount, so for instance, an item worth 20000 gold. The person you trade with will be so happy to receive an incredibly rare item that will surely be needed later!
Personal tip:
How can I effectively time the chain attack in Xenoblade Chronicles to defeat bosses and stronger enemies more quickly?

At the start of Xenoblade Chronicles, make sure to master the timing of the chain attack. This will allow you to defeat bosses and stronger enemies more quickly!
Personal tip:
Why are Summon Lightning and Summon Copy the top priority for upgrading Melia in Xenoblade Chronicles?
Once you acquire Melia in Xenoblade Chronicles, upgrading Summon Lightning and Summon Copy should be your top priority.
Summon Lightning (with the right gems for double power with lightning spells) deals massive damage against everything and makes short work of the final bosses.
Combine this with her special ability to make her spells twice as strong, and don't be surprised if she deals 5 to 15 times more damage than your teammates.
Easter Eggs and Glitches:
How can I defeat a unique monster that I've already defeated before in Xenoblade Chronicles?
Lennert  |
| 1535 |
In this game, people often ask you to defeat unique monsters as side quests. However, if you have already defeated such a unique monster before accepting the quest to defeat it, the monster will be gone. UNLESS you save at the location where you encountered it and then keep loading your game (via the menu, Wii icon, and then 'load') until it reappears. This way, you can still complete the side quest that requires you to defeat that monster in Xenoblade Chronicles.
Personal tip:
Why is it important to complete timed quests quickly in Xenoblade Chronicles?
Try to complete quests marked with a clock icon on the menu of Xenoblade Chronicles as soon as possible. These quests disappear after a certain event in the game, causing you to miss out on many items.
Personal tip:
How to defeat level 80 monsters in multiple playthroughs?
High-level monsters above level 70 cannot be defeated in just one playthrough. This is something you'll only achieve in your second or third playthrough, as you can replay the game after completing it. The difference is that you get to keep your skills and levels. You can also earn affinity coins again from each unique monster. Furthermore, after each playthrough, completing quests, etc., will help you reach higher levels, allowing you to eventually take on the highest level monsters.
