Recommended Videos

With the street date for the Pyra and Mythra amiibo approaching (July 21), Nintendo managed to update Xenoblade Chronicles 3 right on the cusp of that dual-figure release. Version 2.1.0 is now live, and it adds in amibo functionality for the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 duo, which arrives in the form of cosmetic sword skins (two forms of the Aegis Sword). To the delight of many Nintendo has been pulling back hard requirements for amiibo unlocks, so there is another way: to acquire them in-game, you’ll need to head to the Llyn Nyddwr Camp in the Fornis region and speak to the Nopon Miibomii.

The new amiibo additions are the main event, but there are also a few bug fixes for the recent Future Redeemed DLC. You can check out the full patch notes below!

Remember that there’s more Xenoblade amiibo on the way, as Noah and Mio were recently announced.

Additional Functionality

  • Added amiibo functionality to the game for “Pyra” and “Mythra” amiibo. By scanning the amiibo in “System” > “amiibo” in the Menu Screen, you will be able to use the following special clothing items.
    • Pyra amiibo – Aegis Sword: Pyra (Limited to Swordfighter)
    • Mythra amiibo – Aegis Sword: Mythra (Limited to Swordfighter)
  • A Nopon NPC, Miibomii, has appeared at Llyn Nyddwr Camp in the Fornis region. Meeting certain criteria while playing the game will also let you obtain the aforementioned Pyra and Mythra amiibo items from Miibomii.

Bug Fixes for “Future Redeemed”

Fixed the following issues for Expansion Pass Wave 4, “Future Redeemed”.

  • Increased the percentage chance to re-acquire Battle Manuals, Tactics Manuals, and Strategy Manuals.
  • Fixed an issue where players were unable to re-attempt the final battle after experiencing a party wipe.
  • Fixed an issue where some players were unable to complete the Chapter 2 quest, “Pursue Glimmer”, who’s thought to have headed north-west.
