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 Gran Pulse, and can be repeated. Cie'th Stones will divulge the 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.

Some of the l'Cie also have special properties:
 * Waystones serve as teleporters when the missions are completed, allowing travel to other activated waystones.
 * Palings emanate road blocks which dissipate when the missions are completed.
 * Menhirrim are statues in Taejin's Tower whose missions must be completed to advance the story.

The toughest of the missions are battles against The Undying which normally have a specific effect on the area that they take place in.

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... ''

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?

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?

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

My dear, sweet sister set out with her grandiose dreams of saving the chocobos, but never returned. I have sought her crystal high and low, but it is nowhere to be found. Can it be that she turned into a Cie'th? No, she will return-she must. But until she does, there is no one to defend the flock.
