Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Part 39: Back to the Tunnels with Commander (Isurd Quest)
0And so, with the start of Chapter 4, I'm relatively more than halfway through this game's story, now.
Chapter 4 starts with another battle between Keves & Agnus, and leading the Agnian side was none other than the legendary Smoldering Cammuravi.
He was waiting silently to make his move, and when he did, he fully activated his personal Ferronis, completely changing the tide of the battle in the process. Just as planned.
With one strike of his Blade, the battle at hand was already won. All the Kevesi Consul did was turn around and warp away, leaving his Colony to die to Cammuravi's power.
However, ultimately, this left Cammuravi to be captured and put into a prison cell. That is until he was released by Keves' greatest Consul: N.
----------
Back at Colony Lambda, it was time for Ouroboros to continue towards Swordmarch. Taion tells the team that they need to go up and around Lambda to reach the waterfall's middle levels, and then they can continue on from there.
It was time for Taion to once again leave his Commander behind...
----------
Or at least, after I get done with that guy's Hero Quest, that is...
Go back into Colony Lambda and talk to Isurd at his office.
----------
Isurd had realized that Ouroboros' battle against his fake copy led to his Ferronis to suffer heavy damage. This has interfered with his Auto-Levs' ability to recieve transmitted instructions.
It was then alerted to Isurd that the somewhere within Urayan Tunnels had suddenly collapsed. Isurd wanted to go check it out, but Taion also wanted to help.
Thus, starting Isurd's Hero Quest: Unwavering Resolve.
----------
Dawnhero Isurd is an Agnian Heal class called Strategos. This Class has a focus on both assisting allies and weakening foes.
----------
After taking care of other things, I make my way back through the Urayan Tunnels via the Myma Gate.
Isurd & Ouroboros saw a collapsed path that also contained monsters. Isurd wanted to adjust his active troops, and then figure his and Ouroboros' way up to the cave-in.
It's a rather long climb upward, but I eventually reach it.
----------
Isurd had heard that the cave-in did not harm any of his trapped soldiers. However, approaching the site itself showed that monsters were gathering in from the ether.
You will fight them off. The trapped soldiers turned out to be safe thanks to their Levnis.
A crisis was averted thanks to Ouroboros' help of Isurd, or rather Isurd's orders to Ouroboros.
They tried to compliment each others' roles, but Isurd wasn't too humble about his own thanks to loss of Nimue, as well as seemingly-losing Taion in the past... But yet, that feeling of loss is probably what has allowed him to learn more of himself...
----------
Ouroboros is then told by Isurd to return to his office for a reward. But Ouroboros wasn't here for a reward.
By that point, his Auto-Levs still didn't work. However, he was then reported that they were operational, but needed Isurd's direct assurance that they could still be used. Taion wanted to follow him for this task, as well.
----------
On the way towards the Pira Bluffs' cave, Isurd noticed a wounded solider. He told him that the Auto-Levs activated and started attacking his group.
Isurd couldn't stick around and watch this happen, so he decided to fight these Levnises, himself, and Ouroboros will help them!
----------
These Levnis were strong, strong enough that Lanz had to unleash his Interlink against them, but it still wasn't enough.
It took a combination of Isurd's further planning and his tandem and combination moves with Taion to finally bring both Levnises down.
----------
Isurd was once again thankful for Ouroboros helping him out. Apparently the Levnises were reprogrammed to attack anyone no matter who's side they were on once restarted.
Isurd will look into this, but he repeated to Ouroboros that he'll help them at anyway they wanted. So then Taion asked if he would fight alongside his group in their travels. Taion wanted to show more to his Commander that the path he was walking down now was the right one.
In the name of Colony Lambda, Isurd will try to join Ouroboros whenever they call for it.
----------
From there, Isurd's Hero Quest is completed, and now he's a permanent new Hero in your Heroes' roster.
Thanks to him being Taion's original Commander and the bond they have with each other, Taion is selected as the Class Inheritor of Isurd's Strategos Class.
