How to Start the Blitzkrieg 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 Blitzkrieg affinity mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition can be found in NLA’s Administrative District. The recommended level for this mission is 37, and the required level is 33. To begin this mission, you must complete Chapter 8 and the “A Great Divide” affinity mission. The primary destination is Primordia. Your acquired affinities with Phog and Frye must be Rank 3. In addition, Phog and Frye are also restricted characters.
Blitzkrieg Overview
A large-scale military maneuver is about to begin. At the beginning of the mission, you’ll have to decide whether to attack or defend. We chose to help Phog defend NLA!
Objectives
- Talk to Walter on the East Gate Plain in Primordia and begin the defense
- Hold off the enemy onslaught on the East Gate Plain in Primordia for three minutes
- Head to Primordia’s Bedrock Hold and rescue Frye
- Hold off enemy onslaught at Primordia’s Bedrock Hold for five minutes
Blitzkrieg Walkthrough
Once you start that affinity mission, it will begin with a cutscene, covering the operation that is about to take place. You’ll be given the choice to join Frye on the attack team or stay back with Phog on the defense team. We’re covering the Phog route for this guide, but the Frey route is the same but in reverse order.
You’ll be prompted to add Phog to the party when the meeting is adjourned. Do so, then head through the East Gate and speak with Walter. This will begin the attacks on NLA where you’ll need to hold back the Ganglion on the East Gate Plain for three minutes. During that time, enemies will spawn periodically, and you’ll need to defeat them. They will be mostly levels 27 or 28.
Once you’ve repelled their assault, Frye will send a distress signal asking for help. This will prompt your squad to hightail it to the Bedrock Hold Approach. Enter the fortress there and speak with Frye, hiding behind some barriers. If you draw the attention of any enemies, you’ll need to deal with them first.
Speaking with Frye will trigger a quick cutscene leading to another battle against waves of Ganglion. This time, you must fend them off for five minutes. Once the timer hits zero, another cutscene will trigger, leading to the completion of the mission.
Completion Rewards
As a reward for completing the Blitzkrieg affinity mission, you’ll receive the following:
- Experience x310
- Reward Money x24,000
- Gatling Gun Art “Bullet Twister”
- Dual Sword Art “Crisis Zone”
You can now use both Frye and Phog on your team at the same time.
