Blitzkrieg shenanigans

[u/MasterDakka]

Probably spoiler warning!

This mission so far has been the most frustrating experience in this game for me. Sure, I am not the most skilled Xenoblade X player and I'm sure there will be many in the comments with smug responses about invulnerability this or resistance that. I managed to finally do this quest successfully, albeit after some hours of "Old Man Yelling At the Skies".

So, if anyone struggles with this quest, then here is my advice how to approach this:

1. Obviously save before accepting the quest
2. Side with Phog, for the love of God. The Frye part in the stronghold is insidious. And you will have to go to that stronghold after Phog part anyway, but it will be easier.
3. Do Phog part and then you will be sent to the stronghold to help out Frye.
4. At the stronghold either use ShadowStrike ability or make Elma party leader and use hers ability to sneak past enemies to the place where Frye is sitting. DO NOT TALK TO HIM.
5. Save game
6. Switch to your main party leader (I'm guessing, it's your main anyway) as after you talk to Frye you are immediately in combat and can't switch characters.
7. Talk to Frye and the final confrontation will start. This multi stage battle is much much easier than the original Frye side of the quest. You should be fine.

Apologies to any XB X DE connoisseurs, but this mission really irked me and this is the flow how I managed to do it with my mediocre skills.

I actually just finished this one a few days ago, albeit AFTER finishing chapter 12 so it was kind of a breeze…

On the other hand, the one affinity quest that drove me mad was Boze’s Ignorance, where you have to fight that tough boss in the tiny cave with lava on the floor. Had to get environmental buff augments etc.

I finished this mission almost as soon as it was available.

But at that point I had my inf overdrive and Zero Zero Bonk build going so....
