Foggy Dilemma is an Affinity Mission inXenoblade Chronicles Xthat becomes available after completing Chapter 4. While this mission is not extremely difficult to complete, some players may be confused about how to start it. This guide will attempt to alleviate that confusion, and it explains how to initiate and address the Foggy Dilemma mission inXenoblade Chronicles X.
The preliminary waypoint for Foggy Dilemma appears in NLA’s Residential District, and, indeed, that is where players will ultimately start the mission.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: How to Start Foggy Dilemma
Before players can start the Foggy Dilemma mission, they must fulfill several prerequisites. The first of those prerequisites are completing theChapter 4 Story Missionand reachingLevel 13withXenoblade Chronicles X’s protagonist. While the ways in which those two prerequisites are fulfilled are quite straightforward, there is a third prerequisite that may give players some trouble.
Specifically, players need to accept theBackup Request basic missionfrom theMission Controlconsole in NLA. For the sake of full clarity, the precise position of that console has been marked on the following maps, and players should scroll through the available missions until they findPhog’s Backup Request mission and accept it.
To note, Phog’s Backup Request mission does not always seem to be available through the Mission Control console. Fortunately,Xenoblade Chronicles Xplayerscan quicklyrefreshthe list of basic missions by closing the Mission Control menu and then opening it again by interacting with the console, and they should repeat those actions until Backup Request appears.
If a player still does not see Backup Request after refreshing the Mission Control console several times, it may be because they have accepted a basic mission that prevents it from appearing. As such, players may need to spend some time completing their basic missions, or abandoning them, before Phog’s request becomes available.
After accepting Phog’s Backup Request mission from the Mission Control console, a waypoint for the mission will appear inNLA’s Residential District(on top of the waypoint for the Foggy Dilemma mission). Players should now travel to that waypoint and interact with it to accept the Foggy Dilemmaaffinity mission inXenoblade Chronicles Xand complete Backup Request.

The Foggy Dilemma mission begins withadding Phog to the active partyand traveling toObliviato investigate some Data Probes, and the locations that players must visit will always be marked with anorange diamondon the in-game map. The first of those diamonds will appear on thewest side of Oblivia, and players should take these actions when they find it on the map:

Upon arriving at the fourth Data Probe, players will initiate a fight with several Level 12–14 enemies. This is a fairly easybattle inXenoblade Chronicles X, and dispatching those foes marks the end of the Foggy Dilemma mission. This does not need to be the end of a player’s time with Phog, though, as he will be available as a possible party member moving forward.
