Beneath the Aurora Quest Overview
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Beneath the Aurora is an Expansion Pass side quest focused on Len’s proposal in Leftheria. The quest begins at Rigitte Harbor after the party has reached Chapter 6 and the relevant New Quests Pack 2 content has been activated.
The objective path is straightforward, but the quest combines travel, item collection, exploration, combat, and a party-member selection that changes portions of the dialogue and cutscenes. It is best treated as a short story-focused quest rather than a lengthy combat challenge.

How to Unlock the DLC Quest
Beneath the Aurora does not appear as a normal early-game quest. First, progress far enough to begin Chapter 6, then confirm that the corresponding Expansion Pass content has been received through the game’s Expansion Pass menu.
The quest is part of New Quests Pack 2, so owning the Expansion Pass alone may not be enough if the associated unlock item has not yet been claimed. Once the required item is available, travel to Rigitte Harbor in Leftheria and look for Len.
| Unlock Requirement | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Story progress | Chapter 6 has been started |
| DLC access | New Quests Pack 2 is available |
| Key item | The corresponding DLC unlock item was received |
| Starting NPC | Len at Rigitte Harbor |
| Region | Leftheria |
Reach Chapter 6
Continue the main story until Chapter 6 begins. The quest is not intended to be started during the early chapters.
Claim the Expansion Pass Content
Open the Expansion Pass menu and receive the relevant key item for the New Quests Pack 2 content. This step enables the quest data in the current save.
Travel to Rigitte Harbor
Go to Rigitte Harbor in Leftheria and speak with Len. The conversation begins the Beneath the Aurora quest.
Confirm the Quest Objectives
Check the objective list before leaving. The first task sends you to Pippito’s Haunt in Tantal for a Posystone.
If Len does not offer the quest, verify both conditions: Chapter 6 must have started, and the matching Expansion Pass key item must have been received.
For official Expansion Pass information, consult the Nintendo Xenoblade Chronicles 2 product page checked on July 27, 2026.
Beneath the Aurora Objective Route
The quest sends the party across multiple areas, but the objectives can be completed in a clear sequence. Start by obtaining the Posystone, return it to Len, and then follow the Leftheria route toward the two islands.
The quest log provides the exact wording for each objective. Use the table below as a quick route reference while moving between Titans and Skip Travel points.
| Step | Objective | Area | Required Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Get a Posystone | Pippito’s Haunt, Tantal | Collect the quest item |
| 2 | Give the Posystone to Len | Rigitte Harbor, Leftheria | Return to the quest NPC |
| 3 | Check Baldotas Isle | Leftheria | Travel to the island and inspect the area |
| 4 | Check Godsford Isle | Leftheria | Continue to the proposal location |
| 5 | Clear the enemies | Godsford Isle, Leftheria | Defeat both Gogols blocking the proposal |
| 6 | Speak with Len | Godsford Isle, Leftheria | Start the final conversation and scene |
The main navigation challenge is the transition from Tantal back to Leftheria. Use Skip Travel whenever the location is unlocked, then follow the quest marker toward the relevant harbor or island. The quest does not require a separate farming route for the Posystone; the item is tied to the objective at Pippito’s Haunt.
After reaching Godsford Isle, inspect the area before approaching the combat encounter. This helps keep the final objective sequence organized and avoids leaving the island before the enemies have been defeated.
| Location | Purpose | Travel Advice |
|---|---|---|
| Rigitte Harbor | Start the quest and return the Posystone | Record the location for the mid-quest return |
| Pippito’s Haunt | Obtain the Posystone | Travel to Tantal before continuing |
| Baldotas Isle | Check the proposal area | Follow the objective marker |
| Godsford Isle | Clear enemies and finish the quest | Prepare for the required battle first |
The quest moves from Tantal to Leftheria, so do not search for the Posystone on the Leftheria islands. The first objective specifically points to Pippito’s Haunt in Tantal.
Godsford Isle Battle and Party Selection
The only required combat encounter listed for the quest takes place on Godsford Isle. Two enemies block the proposal area:
| Enemy | Level | Encounter Role |
|---|---|---|
| Jealous Gogol | Lv. 43 | Part of the required island battle |
| Imbalanced Gogol | Lv. 45 | Part of the required island battle |
The enemies are close in level, so a balanced party with reliable healing and access to elemental combos is a practical approach. Focus on controlling the encounter instead of rushing directly toward the final conversation.
Recommended preparation includes:
- Confirm that the active party is properly equipped before traveling to Godsford Isle.
- Keep a dependable healer available for sustained recovery.
- Use Driver and Blade Arts that help build Specials consistently.
- Avoid starting the encounter while other nearby enemies could join the battle.
- Heal and restore party resources before speaking with Len after the fight.
Once both Gogols have been defeated, speak with Len at Godsford Isle. The game then asks you to choose one character to watch Len’s proposal.
Pyra or Mythra
Choose a central story companion for a scene with strong connection to Rex’s main party.
Nia
Select Nia for a different conversational tone and an alternate character focus.
Poppi
Pick Poppi to view her distinct reaction and dialogue during the proposal.
Other Party Members
Brighid, Pandoria, and Mòrag each provide their own dialogue and cutscene variation.
The selection does not change the core quest route or the basic completion result. Its primary effect is presentation: dialogue and cutscenes vary according to the chosen character. If you want to see every version, reload a save from before the final conversation and repeat the selection.
Defeat both Gogols before speaking with Len at Godsford Isle. After the battle, the final selection determines which proposal reaction scene you view.

Players collecting every DLC quest scene should consider repeating the final choice from a pre-conversation save.
The party choice changes dialogue and cutscenes, so keep a save before the final conversation if alternate versions matter to your collection.
