Conegamer said: I must make reference to what Smeags said here- the game locks out after a boss fight in a forgotten capital. The previous 3 areas and this one are locked out. Then far more areas lock out in the following area. The key is, the game doesn't warn you. So...be careful! |
Yeah... poor Cone seems to be an hour too late when he warns me about stuff. I mean, right when he tells me to explore Sword Valley completely I've just finished the base, and right when he warns me about not fighting the boss in the capital... I fought the boss in the capital.
He tells me not all is lost however... which is good. I mean, a huge part of what makes XenoBlade XenoBlade is it's focus on exploration... so it would be a shame for me to lose some of that for no good reason (well, storywise it is a good reason, but mechanic-wise it was silly of the game not to warn me in advance).
So now I'm going back and completing quests and exploring areas. I'm level 69 across the board and 59 hours in so far.
