Avalanche Abaasy

Learn how to find and defeat the Avalanche Abaasy, a level 120 Superboss in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. Get tips on its attacks, resistances, and drops.

Alright, let's talk about the Avalanche Abaasy. This is one of the toughest challenges in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, a real Superboss that's level 120! You'll find it in Valak Mountain, specifically at the Three Sage Summit, but only after you've cleared Mechonis Core (that's Chapter 17 for you). And here's the kicker: it only shows up at night during a blizzard. Keep an eye on the sky, because like other dragons, it'll fly down to greet you when you get close. This beast is notorious for dropping the Demonic Everflame, which you'll need for the Replica Monado 4 quest. So, it's definitely worth the trouble! ### Stats When you're gearing up to fight this dragon, you'll want to know its moves. Here's a breakdown of its Arts: | Art | Attribute | Multiplier | Hits | Range | Effect | Knockback | Blowdown/Daze | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Ultra Play Bite | Physical | 2.5 - 3.0 | 1 | Single | - | - | - | | Ultra Tail Strike | Physical | 1.5 - 1.8 | 1 | Frontal Arc | Topple | - | - | | Demon Purging Fire | Ether | 0.25 - 0.30 | 6 | Circle around caster | Blaze, Paralysis | - | - | | Ultra Air Crush X | Talent (Physical) | 4.6 - 5.5 | 1 | Single | - | Yes | - | Just a heads-up: when the Avalanche Abaasy's health drops below 70%, it'll enter its Crazed state. Then, when it's below 30%, it'll activate its Awakening aura. Also, its topple effect only lasts for 1.5 seconds, so you'll need to be quick if you're trying to chain topples. ### Resistances This dragon is pretty tough to debuff, so don't rely too heavily on those tactics. Here's how it stands up to different effects: | Break | 100% ‡ | Lock-On | 0% | Physical Def. ▼ | 70% | Agility ▼ | 70% | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Topple | 100% ※ | Bind | 100% | Ether Def. ▼ | 70% | Aura Seal | 70% | | Daze | 100% | Paralysis | 70% | Strength ▼ | 70% | Arts Seal | 100% | | Sleep | 100% | Slow | 70% | Ether ▼ | 70% | Death | 100% | Remember, the '‡' means no resistance during a chain attack, and the '※' means it's only under certain conditions. You'll have a hard time with status effects other than Arts Seal and Death, so focus on raw damage. ### Drops Defeating the Avalanche Abaasy can net you some great items. The type of chest you get depends on the difficulty: * Wood Chests: Contain 1 or 2 items from the
