Chapter 13 (Act 3): Hero Walkthrough

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

#	Walkthrough
1	To begin Chapter 13 (Act 1), you must have completed Chapter 13 (Act 2) and A Hero's Trial Affinity Mission. There are no party requirements or restrictions for this chapter. Once you're ready, head to the conference room inside the BLADE Barracks. Several cutscenes will trigger, officially kicking off the last act of the Epilogue.
2	New LA is under siege by Ghosts, and this is humanity’s last stand. Your first mission is to defend both the Industrial and Commercial Districts. Prepare for battles against Level 54–55 Ghost Pilgrims and Ghost Megatherions. You’ll face two enemies in the Industrial District and three in the Commercial District so gear up accordingly.
3	After clearing out those areas, you'll need to hold the line while civilians evacuate. Survive a continuous wave of enemies for 3 minutes. It’s not just about brute force so it's better to have a plan and be ready to adapt on the fly.
4	Once the evacuation is complete, you'll board the White Whale 2. Head to the Bridge to regroup with your team and strategize for what’s coming next. After the scene, Vandham will hand you some spending cash so go hit up the shop terminal on the ship for any last-minute upgrades or supplies. Be sure to save your progress, then go to the Skell Bridge Entrance and choose to Cast Off when you're ready.
5	After some lengthy cutscenes, you'll find yourself piloting your Skell in space. Just move forward toward the nearby platform. After landing, take the elevator up to your final destination. A boss fight against the Vita awaits once the cutscenes are over. Pick your party wisely since this is your last chance to adjust your lineup.
6	After defeating Vita, a new enemy emerges—the Void. This chaotic battle scatters your party, leaving you to regroup before the final confrontation.
7	Following the cutscenes, you’ll wake up in Volitaris, an entirely new region, alongside Elma. Do note that you cannot return to Mira from this point onward. Your priority is to reunite with all your teammates, meaning you'll have to find each of your recruited party members..
8	As you move forward, you’ll regroup with Lin and other allies. Continue following the quest marker until you locate your Skells. Once inside, you'll gain increased speed and flight, making it easier to find the rest of your team.
9	Once all teammates are reunited, you can return to the elevator to confront Void in the final battle. However, If you wish to explore before the fight, look for Ancient Devices. They are large, spear-like structures scattered across the area. Activating these can weaken Void in the final battle. There are 6 spears in total that you need to activate to fully weaken Void but they are not marked on the map.
10	Void’s still standing, and it’s time for one final clash. Now powered up with Ares and your reunited crew, you’ll face Void in a climactic showdown. After defeating it, a wave of closing cutscenes will play, officially bringing the epic 3-act Epilogue of Xenoblade Chronicles X to a close.
