Alexandria is a missable Hero in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and the commander of the Iota Colony. She will join the team after completing the Hero Quest Her Reasons. The quest will become available in Chapter 3, but the party should be at least Level 40-45 to make her questline less challenging.
Most of the Heroes in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 are easy to obtain and will become available from Chapter 3. However, some Heroes can only be found by exploring and uncovering as much of the map as possible. In Alexandria's case, she is in the western-most region of Fornis Region, Full.
Finding Alexandria
- With the party at levels 40-45, players should make their way to the western area of Fornis Region, Full.
- Head to the Dies Arch. It is west of the Zem's Crossway and Southwest of the Llyn Nyddwr Campsite.
- Noah and the party will arrive at a large rocky archway.
- Pass under it and continue heading west.
- The party will have to fight some Iota soldiers.
- If the party is around level 40, they should make quick work of the Level 22 soldiers.
- After the battle, Alexandria will attack Noah in a cutscene.
Locating The Commando Teams
Commando Team Fili
- Now, before finding Alexandria, the party has to find and defeat four commando groups from Alexandria's colony.
- The first set of commandos to find are the Fili team in the Fornis Region, Full.
- The nearest landmark is Galghour's Menhir.
- Go to the question mark or manual marker as indicated on the above map.
- The party needs to have the Skree Walking Traversal Skill activated by completing Xenoblade 3's Teach's Hero quest.
- At the top of the dunes, the commando team Fili will be waiting on the party's left.
- Once the team is defeated, rest at the nearest camp and discuss the events that unfolded.
Commando Team Chelle
- Now use the Skip Travel mechanic to get to Conqueror's Peak in Fornis Region, Full.
- Head the marker as indicated on the map, and it's an easy run to the Chelle team.
- After defeating the Chelle Team, rest and then discuss the events.
Commando Team Rhyza
- Use the Skip Travel mechanic to reach the Sellas Terrace Campsite.
- Follow the directions as indicated in the above map.
- Again, it's another easy run to the commando team.
- Once Rhyza's commando team has been defeated, rest and discuss the events.
Commando Team Sequoia
- The final team will lead the party out of the Fornis Region and into the Pentalus Region, Full.
- Use Skip Travel to reach the Aquifer Exhaust Landmark.
- Now, run southwest to the marker indicated on the above map.
- With the commando team in sight, prepare for another tough battle. Use a combination of Ouroboros and Chain Attacks.
- Again, with the commandos defeated, rest at the nearest campsite and discuss the events.
Confronting Alexandria
- With the commandos out of the way, use Skip Travel back to the Iota South Gate.
- A large Ferronis is guarding the colony, and a team of guards is at the gate.
- Players can choose to fight them. Or avoid them all by taking a sharp left, as indicated in the image above. The party should hug the left wall until they can sneak behind the Iota guards.
- Once the party has made it passed the guards, they will arrive at Colony Iota.
- Head directly toward the question and mark this will trigger a cutscene and then a battle with Alexandria.
- After defeating Alexandria, the Her Reasons Hero quest begins.
- After a short cutscene, the party will get confronted by Consul E.
- Alexandria will take the party's side and fight the Moebius alongside them.
- With Moebius E defeated, the party has to follow Alexandria into the colony.
- After a cutscene explaining Alexandria's motivations and some backstory on the Collectopedia Cards, Alexandria will join the party, and the Her Reasons quest will be complete.
Alexandria's class is The Incurser and is one of the best attackers in the game. She's one of the best fighters in a Chain Attack, as she can easily land critical hits. Taion is the first character who can use her class and works well with Noah and the Hero Gray in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. However, ensure there are support and healing classes in the group too.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
