Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed allows all party members to use four standard attacks, known as Arts. This number will increase to six each by finding all the upgrades known as Art Unlock Kits. Those looking to increase their tactical options and experiment with the possibilities of the game’s battle system, then, will be amply rewarded for taking the time to collect these important items.

There are twelve Art Unlock Kits total. Some are easy to obtain, but others require a lot more effort. From simply looting an out-in-the-open treasure chest to answering a quiz, here is how to find each one, in order of when they become available in the course ofthis fantastic adventure.
Kit #1: Ragrinar Passage Cave
The first Art Unlock Kit can be found as early as Chapter 2. Near the elevator that took fans from the Vermillion Wood region to the Aurora Shelf region is an area called the Ragrinar Passage.
The Gaur Vladuct is right above a cave entrance that is hidden on the map. Head through the cave to find a chest at the end which contains an Art Unlock Kit.
Kit #2: Exile Fortress Ruins
Head towards the large pink tree on top of a cliff in the center of the Aurora Shelf. On the eastern cliff side is a location called the Exile Fortress Ruins. Inside the center room is a broken down throne. Behind the throne is a black Relic chest which contains the Art Unlock Kit.
The party will be forced to come here briefly during the main storyline.If they didn’t pick it up here the first time, they may have to defeat an optional boss to get to this chest (all sorts of surprises await in this fascinating world).

Kit #3: Corner Between Camps
Between the Clifftop Camp and the Pioneer’s Camp located in the Aurora Shelf regionis a single path that all players go through.
After the Volf enemy territory and before the Aspars start to spawn is a sharp curve in the road. Head to this corner and look for an Art Unlock Kit near a container secreted away.
Kit #4: Ruined Anti-Air Battery 3
Ruined Anti-Air Battery 3 is a large structure to the south of Colony 9.Beneath it in the water on the left side is an Art Unlock Kit.
Players may need to defeat a few fishy foes if they swim through the water to reach here. They must be careful not to swim too far near the ledge, too, since the rushing waterfall will easily drag them down.
Kit #5: Gotrock Oracle Ruins
East of Colony 9 and the Anti-Air Battery sits the Gotrock Oracle Ruins.The party will be required to come here during a late story moment, but can pick up this kit soon after reaching Colony 9.
To access it, they’ll need to swim around the south side to find a broken ladder. Repairing this ladder will allow them to climb up to a chest with a precious Art Unlock Kit inside.

Kit #6: Hunt For The Kids (Side Quest)
This quest can be started part way throughthe action-packed Chapter 3.Fans will need to talk to Dillon near Colony 9’s bridge to activate it. He’ll ask them to help find the colony’s children who went missing.
Following the quest indicator past Tephra Hill, players will eventually come across their location between the Aurora Shelf and Yesterdale regions. They’ll be rewarded with another Art Unlock Kit after saving them from Fog Beasts.
Kit #7: Lakeside Rock
Between the Lakeside Camp and Raguel Lake, in the area shown in the map above, are a few relatively nondescript rocks that hide a secret. This general area was used for one of the late game Na’el cutscenes.
Climbing up onto the largest rock, which is situated prominently in the center of the pile, players will find the next Art Unlock Kit sitting on top.
Kit #8: Junior Workforce (Side Quest)
Players must first find two NPCs to start this side quest. The first one is named Finley.They can be found by heading along the path south of Colony 9.It’ll lead the party to a staircase called Outlook Park. Jump down into the water in the center. Finley will be hiding in a corner down there.The second NPC named Axel is near the Oracle Spire. They’re hiding under the bridge.

Kit #9: Royal Green Bush
Head to the Gelgemos Garrison. The interior part of this location contains a staircase that leads to a repairable ladder. Climbing it will take the player to a superboss, butit won’t attack them unless they attack its egg. Around the corner is a small cave that leads to an outlook called the Royal Green.
Fans should look down to see a few bushes, thenchange to a character who has at minimum 4,410 health before jumping down, so they can survive the fall damage.The northernmost bush on this platform has an Art Unlock Kit hidden inside it.
If players have yet to find the following kit, however, they shouldn’t jump down any further just yet.
Kit #10: Royal Green’s Secret Second Relic
To find the next Art Unlock Kit, fans should dtart from Kit #9’s location.On the opposite side of the bush that contains that kit is a fallen pillar. Carefully walk across it, and jump over to a secret balcony not displayed on the map.
Run around the following corner to find a chest at the end. This chest contains yet another Art Unlock Kit.
Kit #11: Raguel Bridge Ether Slide
Travel to the center of Raguel Bridge, then jump down to some platforms below the bridge. There the team will be able to set up multiple Ether Slides. The south Ether Slide will take them over to a natural pillar.
Look to the east to find a black Relic chest with the penultimate Art Unlock Kit inside.
The party must be careful not to fall down here, as there’s no quick way back up!

Kit #12: Smart Rhogul Relic Chest Nest
This final Art Unlock Kit will require quite a lot of resources, as a total of four Ether Slides must be made to reach it.The team must jump down into Outlook Park’s water, just as they did to find Finley for Kit #6. This time, they’ll swim all the way to the end of the cave, and set up the first Ether Slide at the end. They may need to beat a unique monster to do so.
After that, create two more Ether Slides to reach Ravaged Village. Get past the Fog Rift to set up another Fog Rift on the south side. There the party will find multiple Rhoguls protecting their eggs. There is a black Relic chest along the wall which contains the final Art Unlock Kit. If possible, it’s also recommended to make one additional Ether Slide after collecting this chest, to obtain a different, unrelated reward.
