Xenoblade 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country |OT| You Will Remember Their Names
- Thread starter TheMoon
- Start date
I needed way more than 100 legendary crystals to get my last rare blade.
What do you mean by truly finish? 100%?
100% basically, I only need Agate to have all the rare blades and just need to beat a couple of the last superbosses. It's hard to have the motivation to jump in again knowing that most of what's left to do will require a bunch of grinding
Depends where you are up to. by hour 10 you will likely have barely opened up all the skills/full battle system. If you haven't gotten distracted. Its a 100 hr game and its battle system is very fun when you understand it and are leveled up
Oh and a crucial question!
Where is the Serene Springside in gormott? I can't find it anywhere for jins growth three

It's just down the hill from the campsite near Siegle Fell, where you meet the two children. The Springside is the shallow lake under those giant roots you can climb. It's the same area as Lyta Oasis in the main game, if that's of any help.
I've just got the final superboss left too. Only lvl 86 tho so guess I will be grinding a bit...
It wouldn't be so bad if only there was some good boss to grind against! The lvl 85 boss is so slow...
Yeah, I actually think the game really struggles in the post game. Don't get me wrong, exploring the world, battling unique monsters and soaking in the world is still wonderful.
But because the world is small and almost every inch of it is used in the main story, there's not many places where they can hide really powerful enemies.
Doing the main story and doing all the side quests will get you within striking distance of the first superboss, but after that it's a grind against superbosses to climb the ranks.
Break and topple is easy. Just break with Lora and switch to Jin. His switch inflicts Topple.
Actually, you can get most of the original weapon designs back
with the Tachyon chips you get from Tyrannotitan Kurodil
Yeah I think the Mythra/Addam topple is glitched for that counter.
You can make any Blade Combos you want this time around. However, some (most of those from the main game) are especially effective.
Thank you! And it sounds like (for now), only team Lora can finish on a level 4?
Around mid-game both Team Hugo and Team Addam will be able to pull off Level 4 specials.
Elemental combos are still in, but the game has taken certain.... precautions.... to dissuade players from falling back on the main game's primary strategy for boss fights.
And remember, in the main game, the elemental combo tutorial didn't show up until chapter 3!
does not work been trying for hours. I think I have to try to reduce my levels from 99 to below any UM monster because I am killing things too fast maybe
I have no idea how you didn't get this quest done minutes after getting it. Are you sure you're playing as the character doing the combo?
Yeah, some quests require it to be you doing the combo ender, like Smash. So if you use Lora you need to Smash with Kaze switch-in.
Torna (the group) was a mystery for me even after finishing the game which really bothered me. Who are these people and why should I care about them. Them being frenemies was confusing all the way.
After finishing the expansion I understood where are they coming from and for me they stool out now more than the main protagonist.

have no idea combos, break and topple are not normally things I focus on I only managed 1/5 this time I am pretty sure I did this quest before NG+ just this time I seem to kill everything before I get a chance to break and topple
this is my very last quest only 2 people left outside of my community NG+ does not really have much more to offer so I'll call it quits here
A "true blade" combo is indicated with the names of the following blade special. If it's a generic name like "wind II", it's a wrong route.
Beat Torna 100% now, 33 hours. Talk about good value DLC! It got me motivated to start my NG+ run of the og XB2 as well.
Anyone able to let me know how far I am into the game? Think im approaching the end just been told to go to
Also what's the recommended level for the last boss?
Cheers
torna womb, and lorna got knighted.
Also what's the recommended level for the last boss?

About 3/4 or a little bit over that. I beat the game with my party at level 56 had an easy time at that level though.
It's hard to gauge since most of the game is doing Community Quests and Character Building. I got to that point at 30 hours, but beat the game at 50. :P
Shadow Walker is pretty spot-on though, plot-wise, you've seen probably 3/4 of the story cutscenes.
Beat it last night. Trying to get 100% took me about 36 hours. Random general thoughts, which are pretty much in line with what I've been reading here:
- The last bosses and cutscenes were great
- Throughout the whole play through, I was thinking what's the point of gold, anyway? Then I was like, oh, I see...
- I was not prepared for that nightmare fuel
- As with the base game, the voice acting overall was very good
- I was sad to this concluding chapter to the whole XBC2 universe, but I'm glad it ended on a high note, as a sharper, more refined version of the original game (with better writing, in my opinion)
- Telling people that this is a good game to play before playing the base game is nuts.

There's a map that was posted a couple pages ago that shows all plates if you're missing one.
These Gargoyles robots that you fight around on the 2nd half of the game were a god damn pain in the ass yesterday for me. You had 3-4 of them to kill, one after the other. And I died like 5-6 times against each of them because they have some one hit kill mechanic that I never understood how to counter and I never had time to fill the bar for chain attacks in time.
I basically beated them by chance because one of my team member survived the one hit attack for some reason and was able to res the rest of the team in time.

Thank you! Will go hunt it out.
Edit: -flips over a table- It was the very first one in the game that I missed.

Finished this last night. Took me about 22 hours. I thought it was great. Definitely some padding with mandatory side quests but I found them to be more enjoyable here since the world is so much smaller and because your level up so much faster, the benefits from those side quests are more significant.
With this DLC, it put Xenoblade 2 above Breath of the Wild as my most played Switch game. I think BoTW is still my favorite by the whole Xenoblade 2 experience is definitely a close second. The ending was heart breaking as expected but it was a nice send off for Xenoblade 2. I may dabble with the challenge mode a bit (still haven't tried out Elma) and I may do a new game plus in the near future. But like with many great, long games there is an empty space that probably won't be filled for a bit. The Xenoblade series has achieved to the closest to making me feel the way I did when I played those epic RPGs on the Playstation and Playstation 2. I still have Xenoblade X still to beat but I am hoping for a Switch release. Give me an excuse to experience that world fresh and it's the most grindy of the series which lends well to a portable system.
Now the long wait for whatever Monolith has in store next.

10 hours in you probably haven't even unlocked anything tbh.
It's worth noting that only two items are available from the bards. :(
Appreciate the responses to my earlier questions, such a meaty DLC, although I prefer the main game, this May be the best DLC ever
Finished it 100% a little earlier tonight. I'm sad it's over, but I had a great time.
I actually booted up the base game afterwards and had a run around. As I've said countless times, Torna plays better, no doubt about it - but the world of XC2 is just mesmerising.
Running through Gormott, Uraya, Mor Ardain, Tantal and Leftheria just can't be topped.
Gormott just has so much more atmosphere with green fireflies dancing across the plains at night, roaming thick clouds of fog and glow-in-the- dark fruit.
There's more monsters around and the music is just fantastic. Spying a well-lit Torigoth in the distance, with thunder and rain pounding down in the skies around is just magic.
And then when you arrive in Torigoth there's such a cosy atmosphere in the market square, before you make your way through the cramped, multi-level port and eventually the surrounding farmland.
Mor Ardain looks like an industrial powerhouse with smoke being pumped out of every building, while Uraya really is just tremendous to look at.
I could go on and on...
I absolutely love Torna, but roaming around Alrest in the base game tonight made me realise just how exceptional the world design is in the original interpretation.

Makes sense but what are the items the bards sell you? Just Ultimate Weaponry stuff?
