Do you believe in the power of Nopons? If not, now is the time to start because in this Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected guide, we’ll be tackling the 12 Nopons you can add to travelling troupe and have them assist you in battle. Wait, what?
Yes, that’s right. There are 12 special Nopon to hunt down, for the Ponspectors from Frontier Village, are an “elite band of surveyors” that is comprised of 3 teams, (Blue – Healing trait, Red – Offensive trait, Yellow – debuffing trait), with 4 members in each group.
By befriending Nopons from all three teams, players can gain access to a “special kind of attack” and the only way to find them is to find the first one, gain information on the location of two other members and embark on an epic quest to find them all and press them for details on the locations of the others. Incidentally, you can happen upon Nopon that aren’t marked on your map and still be able to complete their side quest.
Unfortunately, when you do find them, these Nopon will have issues they will need you to take care of, in the form of side quests, but the Nopon you do gain information on, they will be marked on the map, so at least knowing where they are, becomes a whole lot easier and now, we’re going to tell you where and how to find them, as well as share details on their unlock requirements.
