Xenoblade Chronicles 2- How To Use The Beastly Core Crystal
A chance encounter ends with you earning a Beastly Core Crystal, but you're not allowed to use it yet. When will you be?
The relationship between a Driver and its Blade is an intriguing one and serves as the focus of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. There are some interesting wrinkles in this relationship, including the circumstances and events that involve their individual deaths. One encounter you have in Chapter 3 introduces you to a Blade with a monster as its driver and, after defeating the duo, you earn the Blade's crystal: The Beastly Core Crystal. However, when trying to bond with the core crystal, it is grayed out in the menus. Here's when it became available to us.
Bonding With The Beastly Core Crystal
There was no specific prompt (unless I completely missed it) telling me I was able to bond with the Beastly Core Crystal, but I checked on it periodically. After the start of Chapter 4 is when I was able to bond and tap into the monstrous Blade.
