The world of Planet Mira in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is incredibly vast and filled to the brim with things to do. While the sheer amount of content may seem daunting at first, the game does split up many of its tasks into segments that you can view on the world map.

Research Probes are in short supply in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Here's where to find more of them.

Each of these segments has a unique task corresponding to that area of the map, whether it be finding a treasure, defeating a tyrant, or completing a side mission. This guide will detail how to complete every segment recon task in Primordia in order to help you achieve a 100 percent survey rate of the region.

These segment tasks can be locked behind story content, so there are potential story spoilers in this guide. While you will likely complete a decent bit of the segment recon as you play through the main story, we recommend waiting until you've finished up through Chapter 12 of the main story before focusing on survey completion for each region.

FrontierNav Site 101

For this guide, we're going to start by detailing the location of a probe for you to place, followed by the adjacent segments unlocked after placing down said probe.

To place a probe at FN Site 101, you'll need to head northeast of Stickstone Rise. You can get there earlier in the game by doing some tricky platforming across the cliffs, though this is much easier if you have a Skell. You can also completely skip this platforming if you've obtained the Skell Flight Module.

Segment Recon - Tyrant: Caesar, the Hundred Eyed

To the northwest of FN Site 101 is the segment recon for Caesar, the Hundred-Eyed, a level 68 Petramand tyrant that you can find inside Stonelattice Cavern. In order to get to this area, you will need to have the Skell Flight Module, which you can use to enter a smoking cave just off the side of the cliff from FN Site 101.

Segment Recon - Normal Mission: Snipe Hunt

To the southwest of FN Site 101 is the segment recon for the normal mission Snipe Hunt. To accept this quest, you must have completed Chapter 12 of the main story. From there, speak to Bihabba on the deck of the Ma-non ship to begin the quest. Finishing this quest will complete this segment on the map.

Segment Recon - Treasure: Alien Container

Directly south of FN Site 101 is an alien container needed for segment recon. You can find this container within Bedrock Hold, which also has a fast-travel point within this segment.

Segment Recon - Normal Mission: The Queen Is Dead

To the southeast of FN Site 101 is the segment recon for the normal mission titled The Queen Is Dead. To unlock this mission, you must have completed the affinity mission A Challenger Approaches, which also unlocks Ga Jiarg as a party member. Once you've completed that mission, head over to the Wrothian Stronghold in Oblivia to accept this quest.

FrontierNav Site 102

You can find FN Site 102 in the Starfall Basin area, the same place that you woke up at the very beginning of the game. There are only two adjacent segments to this probe to go over.

Segment Recon - Affinity Mission: The Repair Job

The segment to the north of FN Site 102 is tied to the affinity mission titled The Repair Job. This is Lin's first affinity mission, which you can accept after reaching one heart of affinity with Lin and completing Chapter 3 of the main story.

Segment Recon - Treasure: Vehicle Wreckage

To the northeast of FN Site 102 is a segment with some vehicle wreckage. You can find this near the Shadow Rise landmark.

FrontierNav Site 103

FN Site 103 is located just outside the entrance to Noctilum. You should find this one pretty easily during the main story, as Chapter 4 takes you right to that point in order to meet Lao for the first time.

Segment Recon - Treasure: Skell Wreckage

There's a bit of Skell Wreckage to the northwest of FN Site 103. You can find this near the scenic viewpoint that Liesel takes you to during her first affinity mission.

Segment Recon - Tyrant: Zdenka, The Raucous

To the southeast of FN Site 103, you can find the tyrant Zdenka, the Raucous. This is a level 60 Saltat tyrant that sits on top of a spire, so you'll need the Skell Flight Module.

Segment Recon - Tyrant: Celestin, The Spring Storm

Segment Recon - Normal Mission: Haywire!

The segment to the northeast of FN Site 104 corresponds to the normal mission titled Haywire! This quest becomes available after completing Chapter 9 of the main story and comes at the end of a very long quest chain, which consists of the following quests in order.

FrontierNav Site 105

You can find FN Site 105 directly east of where you found FN Site 101. Similar to FN Site 101, you can get to FN Site 105 by doing some tricky platforming on foot, which is made easier by Skell, or you can skip that entirely by using the Skell Flight Module.

Segment Recon - Tyrant: Sapara, The Laconic

In the segment south of FN Site 105 you can find the Saltat tyrant known as Sapara, the Laconic. This enemy is level 22 and rarely appears among a group of Saltat near Unicorn Rock. If Sapara doesn't appear to you at first, simply fast travel to the nearest landmark and return to their location until Sapara shows up.

FrontierNav Site 106

You can find FN Site 106 over on Fallshorn Isle, just across the bridge south of Bianho Grassland. Be careful, as there are level 40 Lawless Grexes blocking the path. Thankfully, if you run past them fast enough, you'll unlock the Fallshorn Isle landmark and respawn there when you die, allowing you to continue to the probe site.

Segment Recon - Affinity Mission: A Day In The Life

The segment just to the north of Fn Site 106 is tied to the affinity mission called A Day In The Life. You can unlock this mission once you've completed Chapter 4 of the main story, and have reached at least level 16.

FrontierNav Site 108

You can find FN Site 108 just northeast of the Plundered Ruin landmark. You'll have to climb a few cliffs and get past some high-level enemies, but with a Skell or the Skell Flight Module, this should be no problem for you.

Segment Recon - Tyrant: Bohdan, The Mistral

Northwest of FN Site 108 is another tyrant you need to kill, this one being named Bodhan, the Mistral.

Once you've done that, talk to Go Rogan on the deck of the Ma-non Ship in New Los Angeles.

FrontierNav Site 109

You can find FN Site 109 on a raised island area to the west of the Ardent Bridge landmark. You will need the Skell Flight Module to access this probe site, as jumping out of a sprint from your Skell does not give you enough distance to make the jump without being able to fly.

Segment Recon - Tyrant: Ridill, The Arrogant

To the north of FN Site 109 is another segment tied to a tyrant. This one is linked to a level 58 Lophid tyrant called Ridill, the Arrogant, who rarely appears in the waters just north of FN Site 109.

FrontierNav Site 110

You can only access FN Site 110 if you have the Skell Flight Module, as it sits at the very top of Talon Rock. Thankfully, placing down this probe is a key part of the affinity mission A Girl's Wings, which is how you unlock the Skell Flight Module in the first place.
