For anyone wondering, the best possible setup will multiply the base rarity by ~7.1 making the best possible odds of getting KOS-MOS 0.7% or about 1 in 140
I have a really funny story about Kosmos. I've played Xc2 all the way through almost a dozen times over the last seven years. Never got kosmos. This year, while doing one of my annual series replays, I found myself standing before the final boss door in Xc2. This had been my best run of the game yet, as by this point I had nearly every system down to a science, with a final playtime of 44.5 hours. Before I went to the final boss, I wanted to use my last two legendary core crystals. I verbally, audibly, said out loud to no one in particular: "This is my last chance to get Kosmos". A rolled the first core, and Bam, Kosmos. I sat in my chair, silently staring at the switch for a solid three minutes. After seven years, it would have been surprising enough to roll Kosmos, but the fact that I said it out loud, in front of the final boss door, on my last two legendary core crystals, during the best run I'd ever had of the game, was enough to make me think I'd used up all the luck I'd ever have again. So I plopped her into my party and beat the final boss with Kosmos for the first time ever. I do not think I will ever top that run of Xc2
I got KOS-MOS on chapter 4 from a common crystal. She was summoned by Nia. You don't know how excited I was but not as excited as mobile gacha games because I knew there was some sort of pity system so eventually I would get everyone. After watching this video, I understood how lucky I was. Good luck on everyone farming for her!
Great guide ! About idea boosters as far as I know using a booster overrides the peak values of you other ideas. So just using one Justice booster is enough to increase you chance for getting a Light or Dark blade.
@@Gamer-g2v1ryou just need to use one, this was confirmed(i believe) in a datamine, the way you zescribed was how people thought it worked early in the games life
@@Gamer-g2v1rThats what i initially thought as well, apparently using one is enough which begs to question what the developers where thinking letting us use more than 1 at a time, which makes no sense at all since it doesn't increase any odds at the slightest.
Correction in relation to the probability groups: The developers did mess up, and getting the pity Blades originally intended for group 5 is impossible. However, the probability group works completely fine. What happened instead is that the pity Blades intended for group 1 also are the pity Blades for group 2. The ones intended for group 2 actually end up being the pity Blades for group 3, and so on, meaning the ones intended for group 5 don't happen at all. You can still get the probabilities for group 5, but you'll end up with the Blades intended for group 4 instead. I know this is correct because I got Kora, Nim, and Finch early on in my playthrough, the pity Blades intended for group 4. However, the last Blade I have left is Agate, I've opened many core crystals and still haven't got her. This would make sense in group 5, where she has a 0.13% chance, almost as rare as KOS-MOS. Additionally, some of the last rare Blades I got where Electra, Ursula, and Floren, who all have a 0.25% chance in group 5. Also, in relation to the luck stat, while it does have an effect, it is the least impactful effect. At 999 luck it only boosts chance by x1.36. Also, the luck stat is inside a square root, which means more luck has a reducing effect. 300 luck is a x1.17, 500 luck is a x1.24 modifer. 900 has a x1.34 modifier, almost the maximum. Because of this, I tend not to bother about the luck stat since it has a minimal effect, and reorganising my Blades to get a high luck stat isn't really worth the hassle.
Dont worry man it could happen from something as random as a basic core crystal, ive done the methods in the video before and i can confidently say they work.
I seem to be goin the same route. Got KOS-MOS in Chapter 5, (on Zeke, so I didn't have to use an overdrive.) And now I have full access to every blade in the game except 4. Patroka, Cressidus, and Zenobia are the last blades I have to open Core Crystals for. the fourth one is Sheba: I hate Sheba and don't currently care to spend any of my money on her. I'm sure I will eventually in some far off NG+, but the miniscule amount of effort it would take to get her would still not be worth it to me unless she was the last one and I decided to 100% the game.
@@jonathanwest8415 I thought like you)) But each blade has their own personal big quest and to open it, as a rule, you need to fully pump up the abilities. Sheba has it too)) The quests are interesting, unlike most in the game. The main thing is to complete the main quest Floren before losing access to one location, that is, in the 6th part.
@@yama-kaskad oh I know all about Sheba, it's specifically her personality I dislike. I recognize she isn't a terrible blade to bring into battle. I just don't care for her as a character, nor for her Blade quest. She's the only blade in the game I dislike to any degree, and it's a very strong degree.
Zenobia I had way too early in the game that I don’t even appreciate it lol there’s some I’ll probably never end up seeing until the end of the game that were in this video
Wow, this guide was super helpful! Ill definitely be using this when I finally complete the story on my save. Great video and thanks a bunch for the help!
Another thing which makes the grind a lot more bearable: you can just cheat the game by using the aforementioned strategies and then make a cloud save with NSO. If you still don’t get KOS-MOS, just reload the save 😉.
Finally a really good guide on how to grind for core crystals. Thank you! Althought I got KOS-MOS, i only need like 3 other blades so far. Almost got them all!!
@@jonathanwest8415 Nim, Patroka and Elma, but i know you can't pull Elma (Land of Challenge) I just needed to know how easily get a bunch of legendary cores, and the whole "you just gotta smash" is fun and all, but you at least give a comprihense guide as to how you can make the odds for drops higher, and especially the faster blade swapping, i hadn't thought of. Which is nice to do next time I finally make a final push to farm some cores to get the final -2-. 200+ hours in, already completeled my own list of beating all the Unique Monsters, and working my way through all the side quests and Blade Quests, including Heart-to-Hearts, but for some reason Patroka keeps out of reach. This guide will be a big help.
Yeah im one of those sad people that had to try for a year to get kosmos, seeing her on my screen was enough to have my entire family wondering what the propblem was😂😮
It took me a while to get her. I savescummed like crazy. Also took a pic at my Switch when I got her. Then, no jokes, I stopped playing Xeno 2 immediately for like 10 months :DD
In my first playthrough of the game; I got her on Rex literally right before getting Mythra. I had some extra cores and wanted to see if I could pull anything useful before the chapter boss. I got the best blade I could have.
Its honestly absurd how rare Kos-mos is, I got her on my first playthrough fairly early, when I reached the Leftherian Archipelago, and had no idea she was that rare! Future playthroughs of that game are definetly gonna be NG+ runs, im NOT pulling all those rare blades again from a damn gacha a second time, especially with how absurdly rare Kos-Mos is.
😫 Bruh, I got the game when it was just released... and only got KOS-MOS *THIS YEAR.* I am SO going to have to play through XC2 again with KOS-MOS running next to T-ELOS and Elma! The other nerds can get scrubs like Shulk and Fiora, and the Torna Blades. 😛 I appreciate you for sharing this, if there are other unfortunate souls who are still SOL on KOS-MOS to this day.
6:33 i might be wrong about this, but i remember searching up if the luck stat had an effect in combos and the answer i remember from those wikis and reddits posts was that it does not have any effect on break chances.
All five blade probability groups can be obtained, it's only the pity blades which were coded incorrectly. Groups 1 and 2 both get the pity blades intended for group 1, group 3 gets the pity blades intended for group 2, etc. Since many of the pity blades had lowered pull rates in the groups they were intended to be pity blades in, this makes pulling every blade a bit harder in 4 of the 5 groups (especially for groups 4 and 5).
Thing is... I got KOS-MOS early in my first playthrough and I didn't even know how extremely rare it was at that time 😅😂 Should have bought a lottery ticket.
I started replaying xenoblade 2 a few days ago and randomly gos KOS-MOS in chapter 3 or 4. The funny thing is that i was hunting for T-elos (yes, i forgot that you can get her only after finishing the base game or in NG+).
Mehh (no pun intended) lol other accessories are better, like the one that absorbs crits as HP and the other that fills the party gauge on excellent chain prompts. That setup trivializes even the hardest fights
Good guide. I want to add something tho. You get Boosters mostly from salvaging and then selling the treasure at exchange centers. Also, it'll be useless if you use more Boosters than the max level of the idea stat you're trying to overtake. Let's say you want a Light/Dark Blade with a Justice idea level of 3, but your Bravery level is 4. In this case, it's enough to use 2 Boosters to get Justice to level 5 which is greater than Bravery's level 4. Keep in mind that I took Bravery as your max idea stat. You need to overtake whatever idea stat you have as the highest. In this case, if you want Fire/Water Blades, you wouldn't have to use any Boosters because Bravery is already the highest idea stat. Iirc it does still increase odds for Rare Blades if you do use Boosters tho.
Too long without archsage brain. She literally added hundreds of hours to my playtime a few years back because she refused to come home, and I was using almost all of the things in this video.
I must have the best luck for anyone who’s ever played the game, because I pulled KOS-MOS in chapter 3 on a normal core crystal with no luck accessories or boosters on Nia. The odds of that has to be one in a million lol I definitely got those blades in group one soon after and I’m no where near close to seeing anything in the other groups at all
Currently on chapter 5 and just got her from a random rare core crystal, I recently pulled Percival from a legendary core then got Kos Mos 4 rare cores later😅 Got her with 400 luck, I thought I had pretty good luck when I got Zenobia as my first rare blade, total legendary cores used 4. Just realised I have all rare blades now minus the ones we get from the story, so my total used cores are appropriately 160 common, 40-50 rares and 4 legendary.
Ay, called it from the post. All jokes aside, if you want a vid idea, you could try making a best/worst ten arts, mentioning underrated ones like Starfall (cause hits 1 and 3 inflict smash)
Vale has been my KOS-MOS. I got KOS-MOS very early during my first playthrough and never thought much about it. And after grinding for all the rare blades, Vale is the only one that has eluded me for years. I'm going to try this method, and I know I need to boost my Justice level as much as possible. Is there a way to downgrade my other stats though, so that Justice dominates?
Single greatest problem about this gacha system (that somehow made its way into an offline single player game) is that you can only open one at a time ;_;
@@MaxMonado Do you have any suggestions of what to do now? Everything I was doing was for KOS-MOS, after all. 🤔 I finished the game and I'm level 96. It's my first playthrough.
So, on my most recent run, I decided to treat XC2 like an actual gacha game and restart and reroll until I got Kos-Mos from the dlc core crystals..... I somehow got her halfway through the stash on my first attempt..... do not ask because I do not know
I got her on my second play I think but the funny things this game was my entry into Xenoblade and I didn’t know who kosmos was and when I got her I was upset that I didn’t get someone else and didn’t use her for the longest I also got telos and they’re both on zeke 😂😂
Consistently? It feels not genuine from what I remember. But i honestly have a sincere feeling that the one percent chance is a misleading digit. I swear it has to be like a 1% based on the save file, and the chapter because on my first playthrough it took two whole ng+ playthroughs to have her spawn, but then the nanosecond i selected separate switch user accounts, i got her _twice_ In chapter 3. Perhaps similar to how one of the starting rare blade trees is broken, kos mos' chance ratio is broken as well?
Well the game has been datamined through and through, if Kos-Mos' percentage was wrong I think someone would have noticed it by now, though it would explain a lot. As far as we know it's just luck at the end of the day.
Friend if I can be honest, I’ve been using this strat and she refuses to just come home. Longest run of this is 5 hours post game. I’m just supremely unlucky.
this "speedrun to kosmos" is misleading dont you think? when it took you a year to get her it was probably because there were other blades in the pool. I may be wrong in thinking that this time she was the only rare blade left, but if I'm correct, then the 2 hours it took to get her isn't indicative of the whole process. great guide tho
Want to know something funny I didn't expect to get kos mos first try I didn't even know kos mos was hard to get. I definitely got to get back to play Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but I hate how you need certain things to progress through the game remind me of torna. Ugh i hate stuff like this.
I have done 3 playthroughs, and in all 3, I have gotten Kos-Mos between chapter 3 and 6, from common/ rare core crystals. It really isn't that bad if you just open every single core crystal you get, however it helps a lot if you are a completionist like me who loves to fight unique monsters and happen to get lots of core crystals from this. I have also had Adenine as a permanent member of my party, so I have probably gotten at least two or three times as many core crystals in my playthroughs as most people will get. That said, I have been incredibly unlucky to never have gotten Vale in 2 out of my 3 playthroughs. Some people like myself will just be incredibly lucky to get Kos- Mos early, while others will not be able to get her for a long time.
As a completionist who does every sidequests and optional thing, I burned through all my core crystals so many times and didn't get her. You were just very blessed to get her let alone consistently.
This stupid gatcha is one of the worst things in the entire franchise. Also until a patch fixed this, it took nearly a minute to pull ONE blade, as skipping the animation was not possible. Absolutely disgusting.
It has some good things. I just hope if they do a xenoblade 2 remake they could give us an option for getting with challenge or quest (that wouldn't giving them in base game) or gatcha. For example in this new run I had to use a canon on Nia which is a weapon I didn't used at all and it was a fun discovery. Field skill s*cks
I'm still so thankful they implemented the skip button. It still really sucks that it can take you so long to get kos-mos or whatever your final blade is.
For anyone wondering, the best possible setup will multiply the base rarity by ~7.1 making the best possible odds of getting KOS-MOS 0.7% or about 1 in 140
Yes, with the best setup being 999 luck, Justice at level 10 as the highest stat and using a legendary core crystal.
@MaxMonado with boosters too
those are very generous odds when you hear the base chance of finding shiny pokemon are 1 in 4096
@@__mik__1992 and some items in terraria are like 1 in 10,000
I got her from a common crystal with no boost.. I need Azami, Kora and Newt and I have all before new game + exclusive ones.

I started replaying xenoblade 2 a few days ago and randomly gos KOS-MOS in chapter 3 or 4. The funny thing is that i was hunting for T-elos (yes, i forgot that you can get her only after finishing the base game or in NG+).
The overcooking bangle is crazy on tora i hit the driver combo so often just with tora. Qtpi has break and launch, alpha has topple, and qt has smash
Yeah, the item is pretty good on him!
Mehh (no pun intended) lol other accessories are better, like the one that absorbs crits as HP and the other that fills the party gauge on excellent chain prompts. That setup trivializes even the hardest fights
Good guide. I want to add something tho.
You get Boosters mostly from salvaging and then selling the treasure at exchange centers.
Also, it'll be useless if you use more Boosters than the max level of the idea stat you're trying to overtake. Let's say you want a Light/Dark Blade with a Justice idea level of 3, but your Bravery level is 4. In this case, it's enough to use 2 Boosters to get Justice to level 5 which is greater than Bravery's level 4. Keep in mind that I took Bravery as your max idea stat. You need to overtake whatever idea stat you have as the highest. In this case, if you want Fire/Water Blades, you wouldn't have to use any Boosters because Bravery is already the highest idea stat. Iirc it does still increase odds for Rare Blades if you do use Boosters tho.
Too long without archsage brain. She literally added hundreds of hours to my playtime a few years back because she refused to come home, and I was using almost all of the things in this video.

Is there a way to downgrade my other stats though, so that Justice dominates?
Just outta curiosity if you set the difficulty to easy would it make getting core crystals more easily or is it the same even on normal difficulty?
It won't change the drop rate of core crystals, it will make the enemies weaker if it' a problem for you though.
Single greatest problem about this gacha system (that somehow made its way into an offline single player game) is that you can only open one at a time ;_;

@@MaxMonado I GOT HER! I WASN'T EVEN GRINDING, JUST LEVELING UP AND I DECIDED TO OPEN SOME RARE CORE CRYSTALS AND I GOT HER!!!
@NascarTK Congrats! Happy to hear it!
@@MaxMonado Do you have any suggestions of what to do now? Everything I was doing was for KOS-MOS, after all. 🤔
I finished the game and I'm level 96. It's my first playthrough.
@NascarTK Do level 99. If you have dlc, try doing challenges and build a team around the character you got kos-Mos for
She was my six or seven rare blade and i got her on the best girl nya.
I was realy luky i gess.
So, on my most recent run, I decided to treat XC2 like an actual gacha game and restart and reroll until I got Kos-Mos from the dlc core crystals..... I somehow got her halfway through the stash on my first attempt..... do not ask because I do not know
I got her on my second play I think but the funny things this game was my entry into Xenoblade and I didn’t know who kosmos was and when I got her I was upset that I didn’t get someone else and didn’t use her for the longest I also got telos and they’re both on zeke 😂😂
5 hours while into NG+
Consistently?
It feels not genuine from what I remember.
But i honestly have a sincere feeling that the one percent chance is a misleading digit.
I swear it has to be like a 1% based on the save file, and the chapter because on my first playthrough it took two whole ng+ playthroughs to have her spawn, but then the nanosecond i selected separate switch user accounts, i got her _twice_
In chapter 3. Perhaps similar to how one of the starting rare blade trees is broken, kos mos' chance ratio is broken as well?
Well the game has been datamined through and through, if Kos-Mos' percentage was wrong I think someone would have noticed it by now, though it would explain a lot.
As far as we know it's just luck at the end of the day.
200+ hours across 4 and a half years. That’s how.
My 2nd playthrough she was the second one I got lol
Still wondering why after all this time Monolith didn’t attempt to patch in a fix so group 5 pity blades was an option again.
Friend if I can be honest, I’ve been using this strat and she refuses to just come home. Longest run of this is 5 hours post game. I’m just supremely unlucky.
this "speedrun to kosmos" is misleading dont you think? when it took you a year to get her it was probably because there were other blades in the pool. I may be wrong in thinking that this time she was the only rare blade left, but if I'm correct, then the 2 hours it took to get her isn't indicative of the whole process. great guide tho
Want to know something funny I didn't expect to get kos mos first try I didn't even know kos mos was hard to get. I definitely got to get back to play Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but I hate how you need certain things to progress through the game remind me of torna. Ugh i hate stuff like this.
bro I jujst went with rerolling for cosmos
I have done 3 playthroughs, and in all 3, I have gotten Kos-Mos between chapter 3 and 6, from common/ rare core crystals.
It really isn't that bad if you just open every single core crystal you get, however it helps a lot if you are a completionist like me who loves to fight unique monsters and happen to get lots of core crystals from this.
I have also had Adenine as a permanent member of my party, so I have probably gotten at least two or three times as many core crystals in my playthroughs as most people will get.
That said, I have been incredibly unlucky to never have gotten Vale in 2 out of my 3 playthroughs. Some people like myself will just be incredibly lucky to get Kos- Mos early, while others will not be able to get her for a long time.
That is insane luck wtf. The fact that you use Adenina definitely helps, but still
As a completionist who does every sidequests and optional thing, I burned through all my core crystals so many times and didn't get her. You were just very blessed to get her let alone consistently.
This stupid gatcha is one of the worst things in the entire franchise.
Also until a patch fixed this, it took nearly a minute to pull ONE blade, as skipping the animation was not possible. Absolutely disgusting.
It has some good things. I just hope if they do a xenoblade 2 remake they could give us an option for getting with challenge or quest (that wouldn't giving them in base game) or gatcha.
For example in this new run I had to use a canon on Nia which is a weapon I didn't used at all and it was a fun discovery.
Field skill s*cks
I'm still so thankful they implemented the skip button. It still really sucks that it can take you so long to get kos-mos or whatever your final blade is.
