285 xenoblade - giving nelo his anti-drink medicine

Dear Readers,

We had to return to Nelo the Nopon to cash in on his quest. We warped and traipsed until we realised he hung out at night. Gah. We changed time and found him. He said something nice about Teelan, which updated the affinity chart.

We had to talk to him again to cash in on his quest. He was happy with the medicine that'll encourage him to drink less. He was happy enough with that.

And we're happy to move on to the next quest. Next!

284 xenoblade - hunting cruz paguls for 5 hot pots

Dear Readers,

I decided to focus on "Losing the Taste for Alcohol" quest. We had the first part done and now we had to collect 5 Pagul Hot Pots from Cruz Paguls at Eryth Sea.

I couldn't be bothered looking for them in the game so I looked up a wiki to find out what they were. They were they shelled enemies on the beach where we first arrived.

The wiki was pretty nice! It had a map pointing out where they were and everything! I may just use this liberally from now on.

We hunted them down and beat up what we needed to get the stuff for the quest.

283 xenoblade - actually it was lar'shen who had the back pain

Dear Readers,

We returned to the Imperial Palace, changed the clock to after 6PM and talked to Galdo at the stairs. He thanked us.

I must make a correction and say that it was actually his precious friend Lar'shen who had the back pain. I couldn't tell because everyone in this game has the same soulless appearance.

That's that quest done. Next!

282 xenoblade - beating up the 6 archer hodes

Dear Readers,

We found the Archer Hodes at a place called Showdown Cliff to the northeast of Hovering Reef 1. There were a bunch of them together and we beat them all up handily.

We still had to report back to the guy who gave us the quest, Galdo. We'll do that next time.

I'm just glad it didn't take us all day to find them.

281 xenoblade - deciding on galdo's back pain quest

Dear Readers,

I decided to do Galdo's Back Pain quest. For this we had to defeat 6 Archer Hodes at Eryth Sea.

There are hodes all over the place. There's an entire island that's a hode refuge and there are some on the Hovering Reefs. Will try to find some archer ones next time.

280 xenoblade - finding ruthan

Dear Readers,

We had to find Ruthan to cash in on the quest. I looked up his entry on the affinity chart and it said that he wanders around at night in the Imperial Palace. Then I looked over my previous blog entries and it said I met him outside the Imperial Palace! AAAAARGHHH!

Good thing I made a note of it. I would've been looking around for ages in a big empty place for him. That's a common thing that happens in this game though.

He seems like a likeable old inventor dude. Not sure why Shulk wouldn't be interested in his lecture on his invention. Other than that, he looks just like everyone else in this big empty dull city.

We found him and cashed in on the quest. Done. Next!

279 xenoblade - the deciphering machine quest

Dear Readers,

I decided to concentrate on "The Deciphering Machine" quest. We had to collect 6 pieces of Sturdy Armour from Flavel Andos at Eryth Sea.

I was lucky to vaguely recall Flavel Andos as those floating stationary robots on the hovering reefs. We found them on Hovering reefs 4-7 roughly. Mostly on the early reefs we came across at first.

While exploring the hovering reefs we went to newer ones I hadn't explored yet and found the ether plant thingy with turbine-like machinery.

After we found all the pieces from Flavel Andos we had to go back to Ruthan at the Imperial Palace. I'm going to save that for its own post.
