Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Part 41: The Dame of Delivery (Alexandria Quest)
3Time to take on another optional Hero Quest in Chapter 4, and one that was gestured since Chapter 3.
To preceded this Quest, you have to take out some dispatched units to thin out Colony Iota's forces. When you think you're ready, you can try to make your way within Iota.
I strike this landing at 20:40. Skip to that if you want to see the actual Hero Quest take place.
----------
Ouroboros reach inside of Colony Iota. Their commander Alexandria (a.k.a. Dame Alex) was eagerly awaiting their arrival.
At this point, it was less about words and more about action, the action of their battle!
Thus, finally and formally commencing Alexandria's Hero Quest: Her Reasons.
----------
Ouroboros were successfully able to defeat Alexandria, though it felt like they didn't have much confidence that they'd win.
Poor Noah was worried on how much more his team will have to fight other colonies...
That's when Colony Iota's Consul E chimed in, though he insisted that he be called MASTER E.
A man of theater, E had tried to control Alexandria and make her into his ultimate weapon to defeat Ouroboros. However, her failure to defeat them left E very disappointed.
He decided to change into his Moebius form to take down Ouroboros himself and rewrite the "story" he had initially scripted.
----------
Consul E was promptly beaten, and his curtain had dropped, ending his play and himself.
Alexandria was actually thankful for Ouroboros' help for beating Consul E. Apparently this was a part of her OWN plan this hole time, especially when her lieutenant, Chickadee, ran into the scene and revealed what was going on.
Alexandria actually needed help with getting rid of E after finding out that he's support from him was actually a setup to benefit himself. They weren't strong enough to defeat E, themselves. They initially fought Ouroboros to test if they were capable of doing the job. Taion seemed mildly bothered by this plan, as it had risked more lives being killed.
Alexandria believed that no victory can be achieved without some sacrifices along the way, and she wanted Taion to stop "playing by the book" or how they take action. Chickadee thought that Dame Alex was being too rude with this statement. She wanted her to remember that only Ouroboros can destroy their Flame Clock. Chickadee also wanted Ouroboros to observe Iota closer to see how they actually run themselves.
Taion was still hesitant on the offer, but Noah was willing to trust Alexandria and give her colony a chance.
----------
After a slow walking sequence, Alexandria showed Ouroboros what made them so special compared to other Colonies.
They're responsible for encouraging the creation of Aionios' entire delivery system; the Collectopaedia Cards that you can use in the menu for quick rewards. They use their ability to transport goods to their advantage, as it creates a cycle that encourages Iota to strength their forces in and off the battlefield.
Alexandria worked with her Castle on this not by choice, however, but by necessity. She needed something to change by how Colonies are ran beyond just "playing by the book".
This made Taion finally realize that her means were just, and realize that their methods weren't that much different from each others'. The prime motivation for this was because "playing by the book" cost Iota the life of its previous commander...
As such, Alexandria wanted to do better than they did to prevent another big loss like that again. This was enough for Noah to completely understand Colony Iota and promptly smash their Flame Clock, freeing them from Moebius' control.
----------
Alexandria felt sorry that they set up Ouroboros the way that she did, but she only did it because she wanted to see how it felt to live without being confined to Moebius' rules.
She also revealed that she's not as old as she seems to as a Commander. She's only on her 6th term (a.k.a. 16 years old) and tried makeup to compensate for this, and only Chickadee and other team chiefs knew this already.
----------
Upon smashing the Flame Clock, the Hero Quest will be completed.
Alexandria becomes a part of the Hero Roster, and Taion is her Class Inheritor.
Craftmaiden Alexandria class is an Agnian Attacker Class called Incursor. An Incursor specializes in frequent Critical Hits.
I feel like Incursor is one of the better Classes in the game, and Dame Alex herself is one of the better Heroes. I've done some NASTY things in a Chain Attack because of the perks she comes with in it.
The next video will be mostly be about me trying this new Class out and seeing what kind of Quests I can find in her Colony.
