How to Start The King of Fear 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 King of Fear affinity mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition becomes available after completing Chapter 4. The mission can be found in NLA’s Residential District. The recommended level for this mission is 40 and the required level is 32. To begin this mission, you must complete Chapter 7, survey 25% of Noctilum, complete “BFFs” affinity mission, and complete “Prone Sweet Prone” mission. The primary destination is Noctilum. The required affinity with H.B. is Rank 2.

The King of Fear Walkthrough
After accepting this mission, travel to the Residential District in NLA and head for the southern part of the area, just east of the Sports Complex. Approach the objective marker there to trigger an event. Once it ends, make your way to Noctilum. Your destination is the Lotus Keep Building Site in the northern part of the region.
After arriving, go to the area’s west side and jump up on the ledge overlooking the site. You’ll find a Nopon there you must speak with. It will send you to the Sapphire Table in the southern part of Noctilum, near FN Site 221.
You’ll find a stricute there guarded by the Prone. Approach it to trigger an event, ending with you engaging the Prone (ranging from levels 30 to 40) in glorious combat!
Now that the Blood-king had been dealt with, return to NLA. Speak with Pulala in the Residential District for one more event, which will then complete the mission.
