How to beat Malos on the Ancient Ship, Xenoblade Chronicles 2
111Welcome to our latest YouTube walkthrough video for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, where we’ll be showing you how we managed to beat Malos on the Ancient Ship during Chapter 1 of the game. It’s essentially your first big battle in the game with Pyra as your Blade and while she give you a lot of power, it’s still easy to lose to Malos, so hopefully our walkthrough will help you to make it through to the stunning cinematic that follows it.

You’ll get to the battle with Malos after making your way down into the depths of the Ancient Ship, so if you haven’t already made it this far, you can check out the full walkthrough for this section of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiAeu0cFKMU. Here you’ll unlock the area to find Pyra, before getting taken out by Jin, brought back to life by Pyra and returning to the Ancient Ship from a memory of Elysium. It’ll all make sense when you watch the cinematics, honestly.
Anyway, once the cinematic has finished, you’ll find yourself with Pyra as your Blade in a rain-swept battle with Malos and his powerful Blade. This will pretty much be a tutorial-led battle, which will introduce you to the Specials moves and the subsequent Blade Combos, which you’ll need to execute well to beat Malos. Try to pay as much attention to everything that its saying and you can watch it all again in our video, as these will be skills you’ll need throughout the game.
However, if you don’t manage to beat him the first time around, you’ll have to take him on from the beginning without the benefit of the tutorial help. He’ll be much more difficult at this stage, so you’ll need to use the Hook Shots well to keep Rex in HP and hit up all of your Arts and Specials to take down his health. If you can luck out a Blade Combo, then this will help too, but the key for us was to pick up the HP potions from the Hook Shot to keep going for long enough to finish Malos off.
Once he’s done, you’ll have another large cinematic story section, which will see you being saved by gramps at the last, before waking up on a large Titan, which is where we’ll be picking things up in our next walkthrough video.
