How to Unlock Traversal Skills in Xenoblade Chronicles 3

As you play through the main story of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 you will naturally unlock the Party Skill many. There, you will see three tabs – Traversal Skills, Affinity Bonuses, and Meal Effects. While Affinity Bonuses and Meal Effects are rather easy to understand, what has many players confused is the Traversal Skills tab.

Namely, this tab has four locked slots. Naturally, players would expect at least some explanation on how to unlock these skills, or at least what they are. Alas, there’s nothing to help us understand this. Worry not, as we will explain what you need to do! You will unlock Traversal Skills in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 by completing certain Hero Quests.
