How to Start the A Girl’s Wings Affinity Mission
In Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, affinity and main story missions are unique in that you can only undertake one at a time. If you begin an affinity mission, you won’t be able to start a main story mission, and vice versa. Furthermore, you can only have one affinity or story mission active at any given time.

The A Girl’s Wings affinity mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition can be found in NLA’s Industrial District at the Outfitters Test Hanger. The recommended level for this mission is 33, and the required level is 33. To begin this mission, you must complete Chapter 9 and grab the Flight Module basic mission from the Mission Control terminal. This mission will be restricted to just your Avatar.

A Girl’s Wings Walkthrough
Shortly after accepting this mission, you’ll be tasked with obtaining an Upgraded Coil from Oc-Servers in Sylvalum and a Light-Speed Jet Fin from Aetrygons in Oblivia. If you don’t have either of those materials already, then the objective markers for this quest will lead you to the closest ones in each location. You’ll need to defeat each mentioned enemy until the material you need drops. If you run out of enemies, you can fast travel to a nearby probe or landmark to reset them.

Once you’ve obtained both materials, return to the hangar to trigger an event. At long last, it’s time to soar! Exit the hangar and fly north to Talon Rock Summit. You can do this by pressing the ZR button to jump and then holding it down to take off! Once you land, plant the probe. This will trigger an event where you’ll receive a call from the commander and Lin.

Fly back to the hangar and approach Vandham to trigger one last cutscene, which will finally complete the mission and allow you to fly using your Skell!
