Chapter 6 (XCX)

Chapter 6 is a Story Mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X.

In a cutscene, it is revealed that many Ganglion troops are currently in a losing fight against a group of vicious indigens. Meanwhile, in the Ganglion Flagship, Luxaar and Goetia discuss the ongoing battle for a clue leading to the Great One and an escape from the small pocket of space that Mira is located in. After the talk, a messenger appears to bring news of an interesting proposal.

Meanwhile, Lin makes some food for Team Elma. Lao and L come in to enjoy the meal. Afterwards, Lao announces that there's an abandoned mech deep in Noctilum that the Ganglion are going after. L explains that the Tainted, indigens who devour everything they encounter, protect that part of the land. However, since the humans are in mimeosome, or Mechanoid bodies, Lao and Lin hypothesize that they'll be safer against the Tainted.

The mission is to retrieve the unknown mech to see if it's possible to tip the scales in the humans' favor.
