1-3 Find the Code is the third leg of the main quest in Luxerion in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, where Lightning needs to find a pass code to gain access to the Children of Etro's nighttime gathering. The Warren's code is only accessible at night, and the codes are different in each playthrough so the player needs to physically find them on the town walls to be able to proceed.
Quest log[]
- Entry 1
- The mysterious rites that the Etro heretics attend each night appear to be connected to the murders of the young girls To get into the place where they are held, Lightning needs the pass code.
After 6 AM, four numbers will appear on walls across the city. Lightning must find them and then return to the Forsaken Graveyard in time for the next rites.
- Entry 2 - Warehouse District Code
- Lightning has found a number to the pass code in the warehouse district.
No one knows what the heretics' endgame might be, but it seems likely there will be more victims before they are done. Lightning needs to open the gate to the Forsaken Graveyard and infiltrate the rites that take place there each night.
- Entry 3 - The Centrum Code
- Lightning has found a number to the pass code in the Centrum.
Many residents of the city are suspicious of the heretics and their plans. Lightning must move quickly to stop the heretics and bring an end to the sinister rites that take place in the Forsaken Graveyard.
- Entry 4 - South Station Code
- Lightning has found a number to the pass code near South Station's public phone booth.
Clearly, the heretics do not fear the Order, if they are hiding their codes in the shadow of the Cathedral itself. Lightning must stop the rites in the Forsaken Graveyard before more blood is spilled.
- Entry 5 - Warren Code
- The heretics' stronghold lies deep in the Warren. There Lightning finds an Oracle Drive that shows the savior being killed by Noel, the so-called Shadow Hunter.
Noel appears and tells Lightning that he intends to make the prophecy come true. He then disappears deeper into the Warren. Lightning wants to follow, but she has more pressing business.
Check the walls near the Oracle Drive!
- Entry 6
- Lightning has the four numbers of the pass code. Now all she needs to do is go to the Forsaken Graveyard, and speak the numbers into the phone booth at midnight.
Once inside the graveyard, she will be able to observe the rites with her own eyes--and stop them, if need be.
- Entry 7
- Lightning speaks the four numbers she has found. They must have been correct ones, because the gate at last opens.
Now she can see for herself the rites that the heretics hold. But what hazards are waiting for her, inside that grim graveyard shrouded in darkness?
Walkthrough[]
The player need not write the code down, as the game will remember the code after inspecting each entry on the walls of Luxerion. Lightning can find the numbers after 6 AM on Day 2 and will have to find four numbers by visiting specific locations in Luxerion. For the first number, she must head toward the Commercial District. There are two green markers showing the gates have been opened. Under the lower marker is a dead end, similar to a reversed letter L. There will be a number on the wall at the dead end.
The second number is located southwest several steps away. Lightning should enter the Avenue, and head left through the arcade pass to reach the Back Alleys, follow the stairs up, then turn right and follow the alley between the houses to see the glowing marker on the stairs at the end of the passage.
The third number is at the South Station, on the west wall from the Canvas of Prayers notice board.
The final number is in the Warren area behind the Rusted Gate northwest from Old Town that opens at midnight. When the clock hits 00:00, Lightning should go through the gate to reach the Wall of Wealth to find Lumina with an Oracle Drive and the number.
With all the code numbers uncovered, Lightning can return to the phone-booth in the Forsaken Graveyard and answer the phone and enter the code. Next, Lightning enters a new area, Sinner’s Corner, and starts the next quest, "Rites for a Goddess".
