The crazy thing for me that a lot of people don't seem to realize is that this video came out 1 month after the game released in Europe, and in 1080p (I'm assuming it's running in Dolphin). Crazy how English-speaking fans managed to figure out how to effectively beat the hardest superboss in an 80+ hour game with unique battle mechanics this fast.
Melia: Even when victory seems impossible, we march on! Shulk and Fiora: Is this such a good idea? That line is fantastic. Also, spear break out of all the moves killed it. A melee attack by the ether user killed the strongest enemy in the game. xD
I always found it so strange whenever Shulk was one of the AI controlled members in your party when you got a vision. When you go to warn him you tell Shulk, "Hey you saw another vision." Which is weird because shouldn't he know that already? Just found it funny.
Shulk is a pretty sociable and well-mannered chap. Maybe he just feels embaressed talking about it. Also seperation between gameplay and story? Iono whatever lol
This game is where it's at. The worlds design, the scope, the setting, the mmo'esque battle system. I recently got into it again and now i can't put it down.
They're also using Electric Plus Melia instead of DoT, for whatever wacky reason. Lots of weird choices here, even though tbh it's good enough as long as it works.
Eu me fiz essa pergunta quando notei que Ultimecia em Final Fantasy 8 criou o Omega Weapon dentro do próprio castelo, Tomara que ele seja leal e ela. LOL
This was the first gameplay I ever saw of this game and now it's one of my favourite games ever, if not my favourite... I had no idea what was happening in this video and now I'm coming back and everything seems so different and I understand everything
nostaglia! I watched this vid back in 2011 and now I watch it again in 2022!! I stole that build at first, because I had no idea first^^ Xenoblade De is so much fun again:)
Really nice video, helped me a lot with the gem setup and general ideas. For anyone who tried this and failed (like me lol), I found using Shulk + Dunban + Fiora to be easier, in which case Dunban would have the same gems as Fiora, and just be topple locking using steel strike and use Heat Haze for dps.
I never used Unebeatable nor did i have perfect gems like you and it was easier then i thought it would be. xD I used Shulk, Fiora and Dunban for topple-lock.
lucky, i've only ever seen the box once and it was in a used shop but they don't intend to sell it... especially to someone who'll cut the factory seal.
since you linked with Fiora, instead of equiping Strenght VI, equip Critical VI, along with Double Attack, you are looking at critical double strikes. Another option instead of equiping Strenght VI is Attack Plus VI (raises attack by 50%).
Good job man!, there's one little thing that I question...... HOW THE F*** IS THERE A FIRE BREATHING DRAGON IN THE MIDDLE OF A FROZEN WASTELAND!!!!!!!!
I'm five years late I know, but holy crap that could be why it's called *Avalanche* Abaasy, it was alive during the fight between the two gods, and the bionis' movements caused an avalanche that buried one of the ancient Dragons until it was uncovered and revived by the resulting ether flow when the bionis reawoke during the story of XC. Holy shit.
11:30 such a clutch Chain. I also think it is better to use Monado Armor and wait for his attack and then stop toppling him, so he can attack you while the damage reduction is still in place. So far you let Monado Armor run out twice.
you know as you finish quests you get 1 to 4 stars and at best a big star which gives you most reputation... there are 5 big areas where you can gather reputation... like colony 9 is one of them and in order to get the quests you need, you have to work on your reputation... just talk to people that have exclamation marks over their head and even if they don't it may lead you to other quests... you have to do those quests even if they don't pay off anymore.
Well I know how frustrating it is, but I found my own way around it. Just fight all the small enemies till your chain attack bar is fully maxed (Would help if you had Dunban's Skill that reduces reduction of Chain attack bar outside of battle linked to whoever your playing as). Challenge the field boss or story boss and when the vision comes, wait till the attack gets closer to reality, then chain attack right before it attacks. Doing a Break Topple Daze will destroy the vision from happening.
Max Debuff Resist, or Divine Protect will do just fine. Also link Melia and Dunban's spike damage down skills via the skill link (takes LOTS of affinity coins though) You can also keep instant death from happening by using Monado Purge, Cure Bullet/Round (from Sharla), or like he did in the video, keep Abassy down with topple.
I have to boast this... Shulk, Ryne, Sharla defeated Avalanche Abaasy, no chain attacks or topple at all, used it to revive instead, it went from night to day (where i had to survive) back to night. Had about 15 deaths, incredibly messy but i acutally did it, maxed AGI yes but you can kill any superboss with any combination of characters, just some are better than others, god that was painful.
You get it late in the game from an NPC on the Junks ship. It's one of 5 different side-quests where you need to gather special parts to create new replica Monado's.
the roman numeral next to the name of talent art attacks represents how high monado shield needs to be to block it. that other number i'm not sure about, i noticed it changes every time the vision tag breaks, but don't really know what it means
you can get them all at the first go but it requires reputation in order to get the appropriate quests for "Eater" and "Armour" ..."Enchant" and "Buster" is what you have at the beginning... later on as you progress with the story you get "Shield", "Speed", "Purge" and "Cyclone". 8 Arts in total
@RydiaMist Haha yea I should have probably picked the UK voices too, because in the end scene I sorta started thinking that the emotional attachment to the game would have probably been bigger if I could actually understand what I hear :3 I'll play the new game+ with the English voices :~D
I remember that I was waiting in the summit for the other monsters and suddenly this guy appeared. I was like "WTF?! LVL 120?!?!" and I accidentally pulled it. Needless to say I ran away like if there was no tomorrow. On a side note, I didn't know you could retopple during the topple.
If you play the game using the Dolphin emulator, the graphics are 1080p. Apparently, the designers programmed the game for it, even though the crappy old Wii doesn't natively do it at all.
I'm impressed you did so well with stats like that, your strategy was quite risky too, but once you max out all skill trees even this boss is no challenge anymore
Thanks! I did this very shortly after the game came out in english, and basically just winged it with what I knew, using the characters I normally used. I think you can beat these bosses with pretty much any party set up with a little prep.
***** yea, that's just what it looks like to me, but well done, though I have beaten the game 100 % already I still enjoy fighting the super bosses from time to time, I just hope monolith softs new game is gonna have some extremely though bosses too
All the people who can run dolphin without slowdowns are using i7. My I bought my PC in 2006 (VGA later) and it was really a monster, the best PC you could see that year... The technology runs fast! :) Thanx, your very kind! ;)
Oooooh. Yeah, I play as Shulk constantly and even I use Battle soul accidentaly. Like that one time I used it with a full talent art icon. Or when I accidently used battle soul and it actually cost me the battle.
Yeah now i reached mechonis body and still can't shield from arts without numbers. These kinds of arts really make it challenging to fight with bosses :D
oh god i just looked at my characters gems too...i completly forgot to equip blaze defense and i did not even think about using unbeatable, but i still beat him, all i did was HP up, def and ether def, divine protect, agi and night vision, wonder if the monado III makes it a little easier because i dont have it yet.
i don't see why you wouldn't wanna have shulk as the leader... when you get a vision you don't have to waste a block from the party gauge to warn him about it
Kicking that big fat dragon's ass is hard when your party is not good. I've almost mastered the game and I can thus kill that boss quite easily but even when your party is incredibly good, one mistake, one missing attack can bring an awful lotta troubles sometimes...
Well no one answered you so, tension is everything. It raises your chances of more rounds. After that, like you said, it depends on affinity, but after that, you get what you get.
There are actually 5 of them, but one of them is only lvl 100, so some people don't count him as a Superboss. xenoblade . wikia . com / wiki / Enemies_lv_100_and_over
@ReiaSage There's no archer :P More like : Sage Berserker Semi Utility/Berserker Melia does amazing damage but is obviously vunerable Fiora does amazing damage in short time and can tank a few hits Shulk has the Monado which can be used for defense/offense and can do some nice damage
enzyme3254 yes, because debuff resist covers everything except topple and daze. you may want to slap on topple resist on a party member or two if you don't want to be breaking your offensive to help them up.
DUDE youre party acts WAY better than mine! my party NEVER heals each other like they hate each other or something maybe im doing something wrong, i think (advice?)
Your video quality is impeccable, especially since you're showing footage of the Wii. I'm amazed. What kind of PVR are u using? What's your settings? Please tell !
Are you playing on HD television using component cable? I at least am, and though Wii is incapable producing HD graphics, It looks really good, as good as in this video.

"Yay Shulk. Go you."
The epitome of voice acting.
K•コッパ T•テング Honestly, this game does have great voice acting, that one line just sounded like the actress was having an off day. XD
UltimaKeyMaster
They really did a good job of it, but this made me cringe so hard. XD
That line always makes me laugh XD
Melia: Even when victory seems impossible, we march on!
Shulk and Fiora: Is this such a good idea?
That line is fantastic.
Also, spear break out of all the moves killed it. A melee attack by the ether user killed the strongest enemy in the game. xD
Also,
Melia: Fiora!
Shulk: Don't worry about it!
:D 😇💒
Allen Ramirez Poor Melia.
Say, aren't you the Yami I've occasionally seen floating around?
The One Who Resides in the Chaos Probably
Remember MomAnela?

Shulk is a pretty sociable and well-mannered chap. Maybe he just feels embaressed talking about it. Also seperation between gameplay and story? Iono whatever lol
The inflections make it sound more like he just told them he had it, if you ask me. Its kind of a quirk of the gameplay but I think they play it well
I think it’s the look on his face, he’s too uncomfortable to say anything
Wait, that was a 17 turn chain attack starting at 3:50. Holy crap
+JC101 i know everyone is talking about other stuff but tHAT WAS AWESOME
And he wasted a Max combo gauge with shulk behind the enemy. He could have dropped a x5 back slash for stupid damage and kept the combo going.
"You must suffer more!"
"Alrighty!"
DittoMaster6 When in the video?
+I Am A Person Pretty much during every Chain Attack.
5:11
This game is where it's at. The worlds design, the scope, the setting, the mmo'esque battle system. I recently got into it again and now i can't put it down.

"Is this such a good idea?"
They're also using Electric Plus Melia instead of DoT, for whatever wacky reason. Lots of weird choices here, even though tbh it's good enough as long as it works.
"Is this such a good idea?"
Culex an actual smart man he is
Damn...now I want to replay this game
SOOOO, WHO´S HYPED TO SEE ABAASY IN 1080P NOW
4:15
"You must suffer more"
"Okay"
I still wonder what was going through Zanza's mind when he created Avalanche Abbasy.
This thing could easily OHKO it.
Maybe the telethia can read its' mind and kill it for him?
I don't think Zanza necessarily made the Abbasy. I think it's from years of evolution
Eu me fiz essa pergunta quando notei que Ultimecia em Final Fantasy 8 criou o Omega Weapon dentro do próprio castelo, Tomara que ele seja leal e ela. LOL
Topple Locking: The Boss Fight
This got recommend for me today ah to think how far this series has gone
That moment when you notice that the strongest enemy in the game looks like Kyurem.
It's the other way around this came out 2 months before black and white
***** xenoblade or black and white
***** So 3 years then
Xenoblade Chronicles came out in 2010 not 2008
J Lo same with black and white
This was the first gameplay I ever saw of this game and now it's one of my favourite games ever, if not my favourite... I had no idea what was happening in this video and now I'm coming back and everything seems so different and I understand everything
RIKI LIKE FIGHTING EASY MONSTERS!!
Legend has it that it's still trying to use Demon Purging Fire to this day...
This game is the first one in ages that made me cry, the way the makers of the game got me involved with the characthers is amazing..
Im really feeling it
nostaglia! I watched this vid back in 2011 and now I watch it again in 2022!! I stole that build at first, because I had no idea first^^
Xenoblade De is so much fun again:)
A dragon stronger than God.
I'm confused-
Ever heard of a Bunnia stronger then God?
Nope, where?
Noah Norel satorl marsh
well Shulk is actually a god, and is the strongest: he kills them all. xD
I really like playing with Melia. Her Lighting elemental attack is so strong IMO. Haven't finished game though
Why can't this guy fight the final boss? Or his other level +99 buddies?
Because they don't want to face off against Zanza the God of the world.
16ktsgamma boi THIS BITCH IS STRONGER THAN A GOD
16ktsgamma I read this comment a few months ago before I fought yaldabaoth and it made me so confused
HOLY CRAP how long was the chain attack near 4:00??
Really nice video, helped me a lot with the gem setup and general ideas. For anyone who tried this and failed (like me lol), I found using Shulk + Dunban + Fiora to be easier, in which case Dunban would have the same gems as Fiora, and just be topple locking using steel strike and use Heat Haze for dps.

I used Shulk, Fiora and Dunban for topple-lock.
before watching this - dammit, i don't have $100 to spend on 1 game...
after watching this - shut up and take my $100.
Why would you need to spend $100 on it?
there's only a few copies in circulation in north america and the cheapest one's i've found on ebay were $100.
Bigge1724 I lliterally just went to my GameStop and bought it for $50.
lucky, i've only ever seen the box once and it was in a used shop but they don't intend to sell it... especially to someone who'll cut the factory seal.
I got it for $15.00 lol
its important to do quests and all of them so you can get your monado arts.
Melia kicking a giant dragon topples it over. Magnificent
If I read the Wiki right, this is the strongest Unique monster in the game?
Actually it's the strongest monster in the WHOLE ENTIRE game!
triforcepower73 stronger than zanza?
gamefan6219 Much stronger.
triforcepower73 Thirty-Nine levels stronger, to be exact. Zanza is actually level 81, says chuggaaconroy .
I Am A Person 39 levels stronger that zanza?! Holy Sh**!
since you linked with Fiora, instead of equiping Strenght VI, equip Critical VI, along with Double Attack, you are looking at critical double strikes. Another option instead of equiping Strenght VI is Attack Plus VI (raises attack by 50%).
Good job man!, there's one little thing that I question......
HOW THE F*** IS THERE A FIRE BREATHING DRAGON IN THE MIDDLE OF A FROZEN WASTELAND!!!!!!!!
Apparently his fire breath allows him to maintain optimal body temperature. That's just a guess, but, yeah.
It was probably frozen in ice, and Zanza moving the Bionis freed it. That, or the ether in the air was dense enough to revive it, and it freed itself.
Ask Zanza
I'm five years late I know, but holy crap that could be why it's called *Avalanche* Abaasy, it was alive during the fight between the two gods, and the bionis' movements caused an avalanche that buried one of the ancient Dragons until it was uncovered and revived by the resulting ether flow when the bionis reawoke during the story of XC. Holy shit.
Lol, I could hear you mashing for Starlight Kick trying to avoid Demon Purging Fire.
11:30 such a clutch Chain. I also think it is better to use Monado Armor and wait for his attack and then stop toppling him, so he can attack you while the damage reduction is still in place. So far you let Monado Armor run out twice.
What i do, is as soon as a vision happens i spam monado armour, and then the skill refills it for free
YOU HAD SO MANY CHANCES TO USE MULTIPLIED BACK SLASH!!!
11:21 _At this moment she knew, _*_she fucked up._*
Xenoblade Chronicles is definitely one of the best RPG's money can buy.
I love how you use the super abuse combo that destroys all land enemies.
Spear Break + Starlight kick
you know as you finish quests you get 1 to 4 stars and at best a big star which gives you most reputation... there are 5 big areas where you can gather reputation... like colony 9 is one of them and in order to get the quests you need, you have to work on your reputation... just talk to people that have exclamation marks over their head and even if they don't it may lead you to other quests... you have to do those quests even if they don't pay off anymore.
You got so lucky with those chain attacks :P

Had about 15 deaths, incredibly messy but i acutally did it, maxed AGI yes but you can kill any superboss with any combination of characters, just some are better than others, god that was painful.
Lol you tried to stop Ultra Air Crush X with Monado Armour
You get it late in the game from an NPC on the Junks ship. It's one of 5 different side-quests where you need to gather special parts to create new replica Monado's.
i finally has been able de defeat him thanks to your video ;)
I love this game my first 100% game and I went hunted after I got 100% to kill everything I could find in all areas
the roman numeral next to the name of talent art attacks represents how high monado shield needs to be to block it. that other number i'm not sure about, i noticed it changes every time the vision tag breaks, but don't really know what it means
Es el nivel del arte de monado es simple de hecho , solo bloques si tiene números iguales o menor si es superior no hay manera
you can get them all at the first go but it requires reputation in order to get the appropriate quests for "Eater" and "Armour" ..."Enchant" and "Buster" is what you have at the beginning... later on as you progress with the story you get "Shield", "Speed", "Purge" and "Cyclone".
8 Arts in total
The number represents the level at which your Monado shield levels needs to be to deflect the attack. Anything above 12 I believe is not blockable.
The skill you get in frontier village is not Eater, it's Armor.
Eater you get at Makna Forest... the quest is called "Makna Ruins - 4"
@RydiaMist Haha yea I should have probably picked the UK voices too, because in the end scene I sorta started thinking that the emotional attachment to the game would have probably been bigger if I could actually understand what I hear :3 I'll play the new game+ with the English voices :~D

On a side note, I didn't know you could retopple during the topple.
C'mon, Rydia, you missed a chance to use a bonus damage x5 Back Slash during that long chain attack...That damage would have been epic!
once they've beaten it
Fiora: One hit kill! Or something.
Im almost halfway through the game and this looks awesome
Right, thank you for all your attention.
Unbeatable gens allow you to survive attacks proven fatal but you only have 1 HP left..
If you play the game using the Dolphin emulator, the graphics are 1080p. Apparently, the designers programmed the game for it, even though the crappy old Wii doesn't natively do it at all.

That was awesome. Hard boss videos are usually overcheated, but yours looked very challenging and thus fun to watch. Congrats.
Overcheated? Explain
how would i go about maxing her tension in battle. i beat the game without knowing a lot about battle it seems.
Good question! I wanted to know the same thing ever since the battle I had with Gadolt's second encounter.
This Avalanche Abassy is harder than the actual final boss Zanza
That was the longest chain attack I have ever seen...
How have you recorded this game at 1080p?
Dolphin emulator on a super computer?
Surely isn't it better to run Dundun or Riki as your tank? Fiora is just too squishy in my opinion.
All the people who can run dolphin without slowdowns are using i7.
My I bought my PC in 2006 (VGA later) and it was really a monster, the best PC you could see that year...
The technology runs fast! :)
Thanx, your very kind! ;)
Oooooh. Yeah, I play as Shulk constantly and even I use Battle soul accidentaly. Like that one time I used it with a full talent art icon. Or when I accidently used battle soul and it actually cost me the battle.
Yeah now i reached mechonis body and still can't shield from arts without numbers. These kinds of arts really make it challenging to fight with bosses :D
Wait. Ultra Air Crush X did 20239 damage to Fiora. How did she not go down?
Unbeatable gems, the beginning of the video shows my gem setup~
Oh. Makes sense.
Sad thing is, this thing's Talent Art isn't the most powerful.
jatoatley Yeah. Yaldabaoth's Talent Art is stronger upon Mechonis Core.
sonicrules876542 Actually, that's the only time it ever HAS a Talent Art.
Do you guys ever buy gear or just find it? Im at Satorl Marsh right now.
oh god i just looked at my characters gems too...i completly forgot to equip blaze defense and i did not even think about using unbeatable, but i still beat him, all i did was HP up, def and ether def, divine protect, agi and night vision, wonder if the monado III makes it a little easier because i dont have it yet.
i don't see why you wouldn't wanna have shulk as the leader... when you get a vision you don't have to waste a block from the party gauge to warn him about it
Very good video.. I loved how did you used Melia.. I'll use her more from now on!
Awesome video! =D And congratulations for your victory ^^.
I bet Melia could topple the Mechonis with her kicks.
It said optional boss, I didnt think it would be to important to the story.
what does haste do? and what does divine protection and night vision also do?
Depicted are three brutal monsters ganging up and taking turns to beat up an innocent creature until it dies
How do you get Melia to wear Lancelot gear? Is it a skill link?
4:12 that was perfect
Kicking that big fat dragon's ass is hard when your party is not good. I've almost mastered the game and I can thus kill that boss quite easily but even when your party is incredibly good, one mistake, one missing attack can bring an awful lotta troubles sometimes...
9:38 ahahahah you were very lucky.... But honestly you had a very nice party (and nice equip) :D
Could you tell me what gems you use to prevent Abaasy's Instant Death spike? I'm not sure whether to use Spike Resist or Divine Protect or both?
How do your chains last so long? I have super high affinity with reyn shulk riki (i only ever played with that team)
But it only goes round twice!
Well no one answered you so, tension is everything. It raises your chances of more rounds. After that, like you said, it depends on affinity, but after that, you get what you get.
holy.... epic quality!
There are actually 5 of them, but one of them is only lvl 100, so some people don't count him as a Superboss.
xenoblade . wikia . com / wiki / Enemies_lv_100_and_over
@ReiaSage There's no archer :P
More like :
Sage
Berserker
Semi Utility/Berserker
Melia does amazing damage but is obviously vunerable
Fiora does amazing damage in short time and can tank a few hits
Shulk has the Monado which can be used for defense/offense and can do some nice damage
The boss battle music is EPIC.
Needless to say, if you can beat this guy, then Zanza is no problem.
Thanks alot for help!
LOL The dragon killed by Melia's spear break. XD
Should I be using debuff resist gems instead of divine protect gems?
enzyme3254 yes, because debuff resist covers everything except topple and daze. you may want to slap on topple resist on a party member or two if you don't want to be breaking your offensive to help them up.
DUDE youre party acts WAY better than mine! my party NEVER heals each other like they hate each other or something maybe im doing something wrong, i think (advice?)
