Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition - What The Skell Mission Walkthrough

Unraveling the Mystery of "What the Skell?!" in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition

The sprawling world of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition finds its heart in NLA, where most of the game's compelling stories unfold. The game truly shines in its character development, showcasing both your team members and other individuals. Take Alexa, for instance, whose passion for Skells rivals that of many players.

This affinity leads her to take on the mission of repairing a fellow Blade's damaged Skell after an accident. However, this seemingly simple task spirals into a much larger conspiracy, threatening Alexa's very career. This guide will walk you through completing the "What the Skell?!" mission and overcoming its challenges.

Initiating the "What the Skell?!" Mission

As one of Alexa's personal Affinity Missions, you must first complete her recruitment mission, "Weaponized," which begins in Chapter Four and culminates in Sylvalum. You'll also need to be at least level 36, have finished Chapter Nine, and possess at least two hearts of affinity with Alexa.

Once these prerequisites are met, head to the Outfitter's Test Hangar to speak with a disheartened Alexa following a weapons test gone wrong, resulting in significant Skell damage. Accompany her to the Administrative District to make amends.

Gathering Essential Repair Components

Upon arriving at the Hangar, Mika's hostility towards Alexa is evident. She and Camber are out of work until the Skell is repaired, but replacement parts are scarce. Taking responsibility, Alexa vows to find the necessary components herself, and you, naturally, offer your assistance. This involves locating two items within Cauldros: five Standard Blade Modules and six Pan-Analysis Chips—a journey into a region you may have barely explored.

Acquiring Standard Blade Modules

Standard Blade Modules are primarily obtained from Fleet Shrads, although any Shrad has a chance to drop them. Remember, the game might direct you to the nearest Shrad, not necessarily the most efficient source.

Obtaining Pan-Analysis Chips

The Pan-Analysis Chips are easier to acquire. They are blue collectibles, and the game will clearly mark their locations. Collect six and return to Camber.

Testing the Sparkjet Rifle

Despite the repairs, Mika remains distant, while Camber expresses gratitude. Alexa then seeks further weapons testing opportunities from Tika. This part of the quest mirrors "Weaponized," providing the Sparkjet Rifle (with a remarkably high TP Gain Rating) to defeat specific enemies: three Cantors in Sylvalum (appearing only at night) and a Tyrant in Cauldros. Beware the Shadow Falsaxum in Sylvalum.

Uncovering the Saboteur

Tika's concerns about the rifle's sudden explosion reveal that Alexa's previous failures were not her fault; someone is sabotaging her. To identify the culprit, you must gather eyewitness accounts. The first witness is outside the Outfitter's Test Hangar, leading you to the Diner. Another witness near the storage facility points towards the Administrative District. A third witness near some red steps reveals the saboteur's location: Mika, motivated by jealousy.

Alexa, surprisingly, forgives Mika, gaining the right to pilot her Skell. Your reward: 26,000 Credits, 360 EXP, and Alexa's Overclock Art for Assault Rifles. You can also bypass the eyewitnesses and go directly to Mika's location.
