Completing a Challenger Approaches to Solve Ga Jiarg in Xenoblade X

Among the updates in the Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition compared to its Wii U predecessor, one of the most thrilling features is the introduction of new party members. Whether they’re fresh characters from the world of Mira or familiar faces that have become playable, gaining new allies adds a delightful twist to the experience.

One of the standout new characters is Ga Jiarg, the former prince of the Wrothians and a prominent boss encountered in Chapter Nine of the main storyline. This guide will explain what you need to do to unlock Ga Jiarg’s recruitment mission and how to successfully complete it.

Requirements to Unlock Ga Jiarg’s Mission

Unlocking Ga Jiarg’s recruitment quest is fairly straightforward; you need to finish two specific quests before you can start it.

Complete ‘Chapter Ten: The Zu Pharg Menace’

First, you have to finish ‘Chapter Ten: The Zu Pharg Menace’ from the main story. The boss of this chapter, the Zu Pharg, can be quite challenging for players who aren’t adequately prepared, due to its massive size, powerful attacks, and its capability to summon additional enemies.

Complete ‘Prospective Partners’

The second requirement involves completing the affinity mission called ‘Prospective Partners’. You’ll need to have completed both Chapter Nine, where Ga Jiarg appears as a boss, and the affinity mission ‘Spy Games’ to accept this mission.

‘A Challenger Approaches’ Quest Walkthrough

To kick off Ga Jiarg’s affinity quest, titled “A Challenger Approaches,” go to the B.L.A.D.E. barracks and accept the affinity mission located just to the right of the customization console.

In this mission, Director General Maurice Chausson requests your help to deliver an alliance treaty to a Wrothian camp that B.L.A.D.E. has located in Oblivia, which is overseen by Prince Ga Jiarg.

Upon reaching the Wrothian Stronghold, you and your team are confronted at the entrance by Ga Buidhe, who demands that you defeat her in a duel if you wish to meet the prince. This battle can be quite tough if you’re unprepared, just like your previous encounter with her and Ga Jiarg in Chapter Nine.

Once you defeat Ga Buidhe, she implores you to take her life, but before you can react, Ga Jiarg intervenes and invites your team in to discuss the treaty. When you meet the prince, he expresses his willingness to form an alliance but mentions that he will need something in return from humanity.

Ga Jiarg explains that after severing ties with the Ganglion, many of his fellow Wrothians have been left without medical assistance for wounds incurred in battle. As a result, he requests that you procure some Med Kits to aid his people, humbling himself in the process.

You have two options for retrieving the medical supplies:

• Option A involves raiding the Ganglion base located in the Hilial Stronghold in Sylvalum. Expect to face tough enemies, and remember that you cannot collect med kits while engaged in combat, so come prepared.
• Option B allows you to head to New Los Angeles and talk to Jeffrey at the Restricted Hangar Entrance in the Administrative district. He has the medical supplies that Ga Jiarg needs. However, expect to pay a hefty fee of 100,000 credits to acquire them.

After securing the five Med Kits using whichever method you chose, return to the Wrothian Stronghold in Oblivia to deliver the supplies. Once you provide the medicine, Ga Jiarg will express gratitude and officially solidify the alliance between humanity and the Wrothians, as long as the Ganglion remain a common enemy.

Completing this quest unlocks Ga Jiarg as a party member. Ga Jiarg is a unique class based on the Galactic Knight, wielding a Photon Saber and a Raygun, making him a formidable addition to your team.
