This article is about the enemy. For the Artifice, see Aion.

Artifice Aion is the final boss of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, fought in Aion Hangar on the First Low Orbit Station. This article is about its second and final phase. This phase will always start with Artifice Aion in the hangar's back which will fire a Siren Buster as its first art. The Party Gauge will be filled by 300 at the beginning of the phase (filling it to full by default, although it is affected by the "Party Gauge Gains" difficulty parameter, so on Bringer of Chaos it only fills 3/4 of the way).

At some point during the battle, Aion will once again backtrack away from the party to the hangar's back, making it very hard to attack it anywhere but at the far edges of the arena, then use War of the Servants, which will summon two Artifice Colossi. Aion will go back into the battle once the newly summoned Artifices are defeated. This cycle can repeat again depending on how quickly the player is able to defeat Aion.

Dialogue

Idle banter

• Your will? My will?! Then we need to settle this!
• If you lose, everything will disappear? Then you'd better bring your best!
• I am also a despicable and cursed being! That's karma! You should quit!
• What would the old man think? Seeing us Aegises fight each other?
• I'll show you the end of the world! With Aion!
• Five hundred years and I still remember. This time, I'll make sure you're dead!
• Go on. Try to keep going. Try with all your might! With all your strength!

Arts

Malos tends to say one line when the art begins, and the other when it actually fires. He won't interrupt himself, so the second one may not play if it's quick enough and he is not delayed by a cutscene.

Blizzard	DIIIE!
X Star	I'll wipe you punks out! X Star!
