How to Unlock All Heroes in Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Recommended Videos

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 continues the tradition left behind by its predecessor in giving players the option to recruit additional allies to help them in battle.  Noah’s quest brings him and his group in contact with numerous heroes as they trek across Aionos.  However, these heroes are not easily swayed, and you must complete corresponding “Hero Quests” to recruit them to your team.  Some heroes are automatically unlocked as the story progresses, but many require additional work and effort, but it’s worth it, especially for completionists.  Read on for our guide on How to Unlock All Heroes in Xenoblade Chronicles 3!
