Chapter 12 (Japanese: 第12章　魂の在所, Daijūnishō: Tamashii no Zaisho) is a Story Mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X. It can be received from Vandham at the BLADE Barracks in New Los Angeles. This mission corresponds to Chapter 12 of the main plot. This is one of three chapters that have story exclusive areas. However, this is the only chapter to also have a story exclusive region, separate from the five Miran continents and New Los Angeles.

Upon completing this mission, level 60 Skell frames and a number of new superweapons are unlocked in the AM Terminal's Develop New Gear menu, Support Missions are unlocked at the Network Console, and a few Tyrants are added to the world.
