Xenoblade 3 - Missables and Points of No Return
There are a number of missables and points of no return in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Read on to find out the list of all missables and points of no return, be it quests, conversation events, rewards, and more!

This page contains spoilers for the main story of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

List of Missables

Timed Quests

Xenoblade 3 - Timed Quest

The earlier Standard Quests are considered timed quests as players will have little to no access to Colony 9 after Chapter 1.

It is highly recommended to complete these Standard Quests first before going further into the story. Otherwise, you will not be able to clear them.

Conversation Events

Conversation events are non-voiced cutscenes and cannot be reviewed after it finishes. Be sure to be wary as to when to save and be careful when using the skip function!

Skirmish Rewards

When you come across a Skirmish, you will only receive the reward of the chosen side upon completion. Coming back to Skirmishes will no longer have rewards, so be sure to choose your side carefully!

Semi-Missables

Colony 9 Will be Inaccessible for a While

Xenoblade 3 - Colony 9

After arriving at the front camp in the main story, you will not be able to return to Colony 9 for a while. Before moving forward, be sure to complete all side quests and conversation events before moving further into the story.

Hero Characters Leaving the Party

In Chapter 3, a Hero Character will temporarily leave your party. A warning message will appear before they leave, so be sure to make the most out of them while they're still with you!

I know of a semi missable that I didn’t see. After chapter 5 if you haven’t discussed Eunie’s side story I forgot the name of that discussion sry but then u can’t do her discussion because the city camp is gone but a way to fix that is 1: go to virid park in the city 2: face north and go up the left set of stairs 3: at the top of the stairs face north. U should see a canopy on the same level, go to it and u should unlock the city camp
