How to Start the Predator and Prey Mission
To begin the Predator and Prey mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, speak with Dirk in Sylvalum’s Shivering Sands. This quest becomes available after completing Chapter 6, and the recommended level for this mission is 32.
Predator and Prey Walkthrough
Dirk will invite you and your squad to accompany him on an indigen hunt.
Defeat Five Intra Monoceroses at Sylvalum’s West Ciel Sandsea
Once you start the mission, you’ll be able to find the Intra Monoceros right next to Dirk’s camp. Take out five of them, then return to the camp to catch a conversation about ice-cream cake. The Ganglion have gone too far this time stealing Grette’s cake! You’ll have a choice of whether you want to gather the noble silk for Adelbert or take out the Oc-Servs. For this guide, we’ll be doing the latter route. No one steals ice-cream cake!
Acquire an Ice-Cream Cake from the Oc-Serv Seivo in Sylvalum’s Badr Basin
To reach Badr Basin, travel north of the camp. You’ll want to head east through Lake Ciel, then swing left around the mountain to reach it, passing through the Samuel Incline. You can also fast-travel there if you have unlocked the landmark. When you arrive, you should spot the level 32 Oc-serv Seivo hovering around the area.
Defeat Three Brutal Prone in Sylvalum’s Badr Basin
Once the Oc-Serv Seivo has been destroyed, a cutscene will trigger where some Prone shows up, deeming you dessert. Defeat the three of them, then return to Dirk’s camp and speak to him.
Search Sylvalum’s Secluded Lava Lake for the Team Jaeger Captives
Well, that escalated quickly… Set out for the Secluded Lava Lake, a short hike northwest of the camp. Head through the cave entrance and follow the tunnel to reach the big area filled with lava and lower level 30 enemies. You’ll want to head to the northern central part of this room to find Phina. Speak with her to learn what happened, then set out to enact some vengeance.
Defeat the Definian Pawn and Two Brutal Prones
Make your way over to the eastern part of the cave to find the three Ganglions ranging from level 30 to 32. Defeat them in glorious combat, then return to Phina to tell her it’s done.
Talk to Dirk in Sylvalum’s West Ciel Sandsea
Head back to the camp to inform Dirk about everything that has transpired. Once you’re done, the mission will be completed.
