For those who have not completed games in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised. |
Achievements are a mechanic in Xenoblade Chronicles. Achievements earned by meeting certain requirements. Upon earning an achievement, the player is awarded with a certain amount of Experience Points. There are a total of 200 achievements, divided into two categories:
Trials are reset when the player begins a New Game +, allowing the player to earn them a second time.
Records are not reset on New Game +. If the player did not earn the achievement on the first playthrough, their progress is carried over. For example if the "Please! No More!" achievement was not yet earned, enemies defeated on the first playthrough will be counted towards earning it in New Game +.
Achievements are absent in Future Connected.

Notes[]
- ↑ The Defence Force soldiers who must be registered for this achievement are Andreas, Dorothy, Kantz, Emmy Leater, Miller, Minnie, Monica, Nic and Raoul. However this achievement may not be achieved after completing A Young Captain's Challenge A route with the change of Emmy and Kantz portraits in the Affinity Chart.
- ↑ The Nopon outside of populated areas are Batubatu, Bokoko, Dakuku, Daza, Gerugu, Kacha, the Nopon Sage and Zazadan.
- ↑ The residents of Colony 6 include the 10 people who move there from the Refugee Camp (Anna, Arda, Ewan, Gorman, Kiroki, Matryona, Nikita, Olga, Pama and Satata), and the 20 people who move in as immigrants.
- ↑ All the Nopon initially found in Frontier Village must be registered (Ababa, Adidi, Bana, Berryjammy, Cherri, Dabidabi, Dedeba, Deki, Dobadoba, Gadada, Gowago, Hoko, Kilaki, Kofuko, Kokora, Kuriku, Lalapa, Leku, Lupa, Medi, Migaga, Miko, Minana, Modamo, Norara, Npa, Pachipa, Pelupelu, Pepa, Pipiki, Pokapoka, Puko, Rasha, Rono, Tati, Tuzu and Yusa. Other Nopon who move there later as refugees are not counted for this achievement.
- ↑ All the High Entia with small headwings must be registered: Atael, Cian, Don Argentis, Elior, En Argentis, Jarack, Jer'ell, Kurralth, Ma'crish, Miriall, Rozeal, Scarlen, Shalen, Talia, Talonyth, Teelan, Vidian, Yura, Zain and Zel Argentis.
- ↑ All of the Machina found in Hidden Village must be registered: Eiz, Eleqa, Kazat, Mixik, Neonik, Orkatix, Prox, Qofaria, Rakzet, Rizaka, Shilx, Voltak, Vronik, Xekit and Zilex. Machina who remain outside the village are not required for this achievement.
- ↑ "Smash a vision tag": A vision tag can be destroyed by any means other than killing the enemy.
- ↑ "Stop the future": A vision tag can be destroyed by killing the enemy.
- ↑ Chain attack damage can be increased by having high tension, raising the chain multiplier, and using arts that hit multiple enemies.
- ↑ "Wiped out": The entire party must become incapacitated; having just the leader become incapacitated does not count.
- ↑ 11.0 11.1 "Defeat a higher-level enemy": The final blow must be dealt by the party leader or during a chain attack. In Definitive Edition, Expert Mode can be used to earn these achievements; but in the original, they can be difficult to get without fighting the Superbosses. One approach is to equip Night Vision V Gems, fully unlock Shulk's Bravery Skill Branch, and then fight Blizzard Belgazas on Valak Mountain's Lower Level.
- ↑ 12.0 12.1 Exact damage: These achievements can more easily be obtained by using Reyn's War Swing while surrounded by enemies; the combination of multiple enemies and multiple hits per enemy increases the chance of dealing the exact amount of damage required.
- ↑ 13.0 13.1 13.2 1 Synergy Bonus is 1 crafting turn. With max affinity between two characters you will get 10-15 synergy bonuses per crafting attempt.
- ↑ The cylinder counter reaches 9 when the Cylinder Gauge has been filled 8 times; to earn the achievement, it is necessary to fill the gauge again after the counter reaches 9. Sharla as the Shooter and Riki as Engineer with high affinity is an easy way to get this achievement.
- ↑ For the "Happy New Year!" achievement, a day is counted when the clock ticks over from 23:59 to 0:00 (midnight) and then from 4:59 to 5:00 (dawn). If the game is played without ever changing the game's clock, the achievement will be earned after a total of 147 hours of gameplay; this time can be reduced by frequently changing the time forward to skip most of the day or night.
- Set the time to 23:00 (11 pm).
- Wait 1 minute for it to tick past 0:00 (midnight).
- Set the time to 4:00 (4 am).
- Wait 1 minute for it to tick past 5:00 (5 am). The game registers this as the dawn of a new day.
- Set the time to 23:00 (11 pm).
- Play 6 minutes until the clock ticks past 5:00 (5 am).
- ↑ "Making Waves" can be achieved by jumping from the Cylinder Hangar into the water below.
- ↑ "Step into a conversation" refers to comments made by party members when receiving a quest. Both unique comments specific to the quest and generic comments such as "I'll help too" are counted towards these achievements.
