Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Update Adds Pyra and Mythra Swords

Nintendo released the new update for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 that adds compatibility for the new Pyra and Mythra amiibo and allows for both Aegis swords to be used as cosmetics. The Aegis swords can also be accessed without the figurines by completing certain steps after talking to a new NPC. Additionally, the update also adds some bug fixes for the Future Connected DLC expansion.

The Pyra and Mythra amiibo add their respective Aegis swords to the Swordfighter class in the main Xenoblade Chronicles 3 game. To be able to equip the swords, players will need to access the Clothing menu on a character equipped with the Swordfighter class, then select the Attachments menu to change the appearance of the weapon.

This can be done after scanning the figures or after completing a series of steps when talking to Miibomii, a new Nopon NPC located at the Llyn Nyddwr Camp in the Fornis region.

Additionally, some of the bug fixes added to the Future Connected DLC expansion include increasing the percentage chance of re-aquiring Battle, Tactics, and Strategy Manuals from certain enemies, fixing an issue related to rematching the final battle of the DLC, and fixing a progression issue in Chapter 2 related to the “Pursue Glimmer” main quest.

The Pyra and Mythra amiibo double-pack releases on July 21, 2023. Super Smash Bros Ultimate and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 are available for the Nintendo Switch. As a reminder, Noah and Mio amiibo are also in development.
