Missions (Final Fantasy XIII)

Missions in Final Fantasy XIII are quests that give the player party a target monster to defeat. They can only be found on the world of Pulse, and can be repeated. Mission Crystals left by l'Cie will divulge information about a certain monster that must be destroyed to succeed. There are 64 missions in all, some of which are overseen by the fal'Cie Titan.

1 - Pond Scum
''The gelatinous rube beside that pond is the very ectopudding I seek! I need only slay it to avoid becoming a Cie'th. How many years must it have been since I left the village in pursuit of that vile pest? My brand will not wait forever, I must kill it, and quick. And then, when I awake from my crystal slumber, I can help to repair the ruin it left in it's wake... ''

 * Mark Location Same as Stone Location
 * Mark(s): Ectopudding
 * Reward: Energy Sash

2 - Goodwill Hunting
Time runs short. Todays is the day I put an end to that troublesome uridimmu! The problem, I fear, will be the pack of loyal gorgonopsids. The master alone is a worthy enough foe. Must I face the hounds as well?

Alas...if it must be, so be it.

 * Stone Location: Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
 * Mark Location Same as Stone Location
 * Mark(s): Uridimmu, Gorgonopsid x 4
 * Reward: Cobaltite

3 - Massif Combination
I must hurry to the Yaschas Massif. For the ugallu-lord of its peaks-is my prey. Yet those peaks loom distant on the horizon, and already my limbs refuse the urgings of my mind. Please, obey but for a few days more!

Would that I could still the passage of time...

 * Mark(s): Ugallu
 * Reward: Platinum Bangle

4 - A Hero's Charge
You mean to tell me my Focus is to hune that one-eyed adora that plagues the Ascendant Scarp? Did I really need to be made a l'Cie to go hunting? Did I not do that every day? Are l'Cie not meant to fight Cocoon? Is that not the reason I left, boasting of the feats of heroism I would accomplish?

...Am I never to return home again?

 * Mark Location Yaschas Massif - The Ascendant Scarp

5 - Joyless Reunion
So, I'm told to rid the world of Edimmu. She was prowling the Tsumitran Basin last I heard.

Perhaps it is time to pay her a final visit, and join her as a Cei'th. I could not bear to raise a weapon against my own wife, after all. Not even if her mind is no longer her own.

The Undying-fearsome Cie'th who defy fal'Cie will, driven by an intense loathing of all that lives.The Pillager, Bituitus, is of their number, and it is my fate to seal his.

Villages that survived the war remain unsafe, for his path of destruction sweeps through them all. Even my own fell before him. The demon is said to make his fastness in the Paddraean archaeopolis, but he will find no sanctuary from me there.

Even with the power of a l'Cie-a kaiser behemoth? Really? So I have the choice of being gored to death beside that pond, or wandering the wild as an eternally damned Cie'th? Lovely.

11 - Pride Before a Fall
My focus this time appears to be dispatching an adroa on the Archylte Steppe. I don't know how many years have passed since the fal'Cie last called upon me, but there seem to be more beats about.

Not that it matters. provided I can complete my Focus and retain my master's favor, I will never die. And a little hardship is a small price to pay for an eternity of peaceful dreaming.</i>

13 - Eternity Unpromised
It is a cruel and contemptible contest the fal'Cie have devised, but one from which I may not yet absent myself. We asse,bled l'Cie must overcome innumerable obstacles as we compete to slay the goblin chieftain on the northern highplain. The prize? Freedom from bondage as a l'Cie.

I will win, be made human again, and return to propose to my lover, from whose arms the tyrant fal'Cie stole me.</i>

The great and merciful fal'Cie heard my plea, and granted me the power to save them, I may never again be able to feel the warmth of their golden down, but I can think of no happier way to spend eternity than watching over them form the water's edge.</i> NB!
