Xenoblade Chronicles X is filled with challenging enemies, and among them is Casper the Unhealthy Eater, a Tyrant that players encounter as part of a Basic Mission. While this foe isn’t the toughest in the game, it can still pose a challenge due to its accompanying minions. This guide will walk you through how to find and defeat Casper efficiently.
Players who have accepted the mission to defeat Casper will see a waypoint marking its location, making it easy to track. However, before heading into battle, there are a few key steps to follow:
The first step is to head to West Gate Plain, a familiar area for most players. For those who need a refresher, the location is marked on the in-game map.
Casper only appears at night, so players must adjust the time accordingly. Here’s how:
Press "+" to open the menu.
Select "System."
Choose "Change Time."
Set the time to 19:00 (7:00 PM) and confirm.
Once night falls, Casper will spawn in the designated area.
While Casper itself is only Level 13, it is guarded by three Tough Blattas (Levels 21-22), which can make the fight difficult for unprepared players. Here are some tips to ensure victory:
If your team is around Level 13, the fight will be tough. Consider grinding for EXP by completing other missions or defeating weaker enemies before taking on Casper. A party around Level 20 will have a much easier time.
Upgrading weapons and armor can make a significant difference. Focus on gear that boosts attack power and defense, especially against insect-type enemies like the Blattas.
Focus on the Blattas First – Eliminating the Tough Blattas before engaging Casper will prevent them from overwhelming your party.
Use Soul Voices & Combos – Coordinating attacks with your party members can deal massive damage quickly.
Stay Mobile – Avoid standing in one spot to dodge enemy attacks.
Once you’ve dealt with the Tough Blattas, Casper becomes much easier to handle. As a Level 13 enemy, it shouldn’t pose much of a threat if your party is properly leveled. Use strong melee or ranged attacks to finish it off.
After victory, players will receive:
Experience Points (EXP)
Mission completion rewards (including potential gear or currency)
Progress toward further missions
Save Before the Fight – In case things go wrong, having a recent save ensures you can retry without losing progress.
Bring Healing Items – Just in case your party takes heavy damage.
Experiment with Party Setups – If one strategy fails, try different party members or skills.
Defeating Casper the Unhealthy Eater in Xenoblade Chronicles X is a manageable task with the right preparation. By leveling up, equipping strong gear, and prioritizing the Tough Blattas first, players can overcome this challenge efficiently. Follow this guide, and you’ll have no trouble completing the mission and moving on to bigger battles in the vast world of Mira!
