Main Quest 1: Luxerion[]
Name | Area | Character | Objectives | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1-1 An Evil Savior | Luxerion | Noel Kreiss | Initiated upon entering Luxerion. | |
A grisly scene greets Lightning as she steps into Luxerion. A young girl has been murdered, and the Order's inquisitors have locked down the area to search for suspects. Lightning should talk to the inquisitor in charge of the investigation to get the blockade lifted—especially in light of this grim message, found near the body: The evil savior will die at the hands of the Shadow Hunter. | ||||
1-2 In the Shadow of the Heretics | Luxerion | Noel Kreiss | Investigate the Congregation of the Order between 0:00 and 6:00. | |
At midnight, the Children of Etro gather in huddled groups in front of North Station. It seems likely that these heretics, worshippers of the Goddess Etro, are behind both the murders and the grim message threatening the savior. The heretics are alert and cautious, Lightning must follow them stealthily, as it is her only chance to learn more. | ||||
1-3 Find the Code | Luxerion | Noel Kreiss | Find the cipher for the encryption of the four numbers. | |
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. | ||||
1-4 Rites for a Goddess | Luxerion | Noel Kreiss | Stop the sacrifice at 0:00. | |
The gate to the Forsaken Graveyard where the heretics gather stands open. It now seems clear that Children of Etro are behind the calls for the savior's death. The rites have already begun, and the heretics may be murdering another young woman at this very moment. Lightning cannot afford to delay. It is time to bring an end to the heretics' deadly games. | ||||
1-5 Hunter in Light and Shadow | Luxerion | Noel Kreiss | Chase and defeat Noel. | |
Noel has helped put an end to the Children of Etro's bloody rites, but the man they hailed as the Shadow Hunter still believes he must kill Lightning. He issues a challenge to Lightning and then disappears into the Warren. Deep within that maze of narrow streets lies the chosen battleground. Lightning has little choice but to follow. |
Main Quest 2: Yusnaan[]
Name | Area | Character | Objectives | |
---|---|---|---|---|
0-1 A Different Snow | Yusnaan | Snow Villiers | Defeat the enemies and find Snow. | |
Lightning steps into the grand ballroom that lies at the heart of Yusnaan and confronts Snow, ruler of the city. He makes it clear that the reunion is not welcome, and the pair cross swords. But before their conflict can escalate, they must deal with monsters that have emerged from the Chaos. Eventually, Snow slips away through the Chaos, and Lightning is left trapped in the ballroom. If she is to catch Snow, she must first kill the monsters and get the doors open again. | ||||
2-1 The Great Break-In | Yusnaan | Snow Villiers | Gather information about Snow. | |
Lightning returns to Yusnaan, determined to find out what is happening with Snow. But he is holed up in his palace, which has been locked down tight in the aftermath of Lightning's previous "visit." She might be able to snake into the palace through the delivery entrance, but first she has to get into the exclusive Augur's Quarter... | ||||
2-2 The Legend of the Savior | Yusnaan | Snow Villiers | Infiltrate the Palace via the Arena. | |
Hope comes up with a plan B. He thinks that if Lightning can somehow topple the giant statue that forms the main set of the theater show, she will be able to use it as a bridge to get over the palace walls. In order for Lightning to be in position when the statue is brought down, she must talk to the director of the show no later than 12:30 AM. | ||||
2-3 A Solitary Patron | Yusnaan | Snow Villiers | Head to the throne of l'Cie to fight Snow. | |
It was an elaborate plan, but Lightning has finally reached the grounds of Snow's palace, which are infested with thick clouds of Chaos. It could be just a natural outbreak—of something much more sinister. Snow is the last remaining l'Cie, cursed with tremendous powers and an evil destiny. When a l'Cie reaches the end of his strength and falls into despair, he is transformed into a grim creature known as a Cie'th. |
Main Quest 3: Wildlands[]
Name | Area | Character | Objectives | |
---|---|---|---|---|
3-1 The Angel of Valhalla | Wildlands | Caius Ballad | Find the Angel of Valhalla and defeat the Chocobo Eater. | |
The Wildlands is nature's last refuge in a dying world. When Lightning first arrives here, she hears a strange voice, whispering on the wind. It speaks of an Angel of Valhalla, and an encounter ordained. An Angel of Valhalla? Lightning has no idea whose voice it is, but given her own past in Valhalla, it might be a lead worth following. She resolves to ask the locals if any of them have heard of this angel. | ||||
3-2 Healing an Angel | Wildlands | Caius Ballad | Take care of the Angel of Valhalla. | |
Thanks to Dr. Gysahl's emergency surgery, the Angel of Valhalla is out of immediate danger. Lightning is strangely concerned for the animal—she still cannot shake the feeling that they know each other. She decides to find out more from Dr. Gysahl about the chocobo's prognosis. | ||||
3-3 Where Chaos Sleeps | Wildlands | Caius Ballad | Head to Etro's Temple to defeat Caius. | |
At last, the Angel of Valhalla has recovered the use of his wings. The source of the voice that brought Lightning and the angel together remains a mystery. It is time to go to the temple of the goddess where the great Chaos lies, just as the voice foretold: The encounter is ordained. You have been led to the fountainhead whence the Chaos flows. |
Main Quest 4: Dead Dunes[]
Name | Area | Character | Objectives | |
---|---|---|---|---|
4-1 Bandits of the Desert | Dead Dunes | Oerba Yun Fang | Find the Bandit's Hideout | |
Somewhere in the Dead Dunes lies the holy clavis, a treasure with the power to draw the souls of the dead and open doors to the otherworld. The Order is anxious to find it—perhaps Lightning should search, too. Bandits operate in the desert, making a living from plundering the ruins. They might have information about this clavis. Lightning should seek them out. | ||||
4-2 Aspiring Bandit | Dead Dunes | Oerba Yun Fang | Help Adonis calm the Sandstorm. | |
If Lightning wants to join the bandit gang, she must quell God's Wrath, a sandstorm that rages near Ruffian. The key to breaking it is held by a monster that can be found nearby. No ordinary human has ever been able to make the key work, but then, the savior is no ordinary human. God's Wrath rages in the area around the Giant's Sandbox. | ||||
4-3 Where the Clavis Lies | Dead Dunes | Oerba Yun Fang | Head to the Ruins near the Giant's Hand and investigate the suspicious door. | |
Fang has been using her position as head of the bandit gang to search for the clavis, but she does not disclose why she wants an ancient relic that gathers the souls of the dead. Meanwhile, the Order is redoubling their efforts to find the clavis. If Lightning and Fang are to reach it first, they must head quickly to the ruins which it is buried. The entrance stands near the Giant's Hand. | ||||
4-4 Murals of the Gods | Dead Dunes | Oerba Yun Fang | Decode the Mural of the Gods by collecting lithographs. | |
Three murals depicting events of the crystal legends are the key to unsealing the door to the clavis chamber. Only those who have seen the three murals and know the deeds of the gods may pass through the Sacred Gate and into the presence of the holy treasure. Each mural is displayed in its own gallery, located in different parts of the ruins. Lightning must visit each one in turn. | ||||
4-5 The Holy Clavis | Dead Dunes | Oerba Yun Fang | Find the Clavis and defeat Grendel. | |
Lightning and Fang have seen the three murals. They have the three pieces of the crux, and now they can open the Sacred Gate. Soon, the holy clavis will be in their hands. But the Order is closing in on the treasure as well. The pair will have to hurry to the chamber if they are to claim the prize and keep it out of the Order's hands. |
Main Quest 5: Wildlands[]
Name | Area | Character | Objectives | |
---|---|---|---|---|
5-1 Father and Son | Wildlands | Sazh Katzroy | Find Sazh's fallen airship/home. | |
Far in the North, Lightning encounters her old ally Sazh living in a wrecked airship with his son, Dajh. Except that living is hardly the right word for the coma in which the unresponsive Dajh lies. His soul has left his body, and no pleas, no cries, seem to reach him. | ||||
5-2 Follow the Chocobo Chick | Wildlands | Sazh Katzroy | Follow the chocobo chick to find the Fragment of Mischief. | |
As soon as Sazh walks out of his house, a chocobo chick appears in the same doorway. This chick beats its wings frantically, for all the world as it is trying to communicate something to Lightning. Sazh refused to talk to Lightning, but perhaps the chocobo chick can tell her what she needs to know... | ||||
5-3 Wishes on a Canvas | Wildlands | Sazh Katzroy | Collect the Beloved's Gift from the Dead Dunes and Fragment of Smiles from the Wildlands. | |
Chocolina is a strange woman who looks after the Canvas of Prayers, into which is woven the hopes and dreams of people all across the world. Sazh refused to talk to Lightning, but perhaps with the help of Chocolina and her Canvas of Prayers, Lightning can still find out what is in his heart. | ||||
5-4 What Soul Seed Traders Want | Wildlands | Sazh Katzroy | Gather the Moogle Fragment from the Moogle Village and collect soul seeds. Give them to a seedtrader to receive the Fragment of Radiance. | |
The traders who have Dajh's soul fragment have representatives in all four regions of the world. Easily recognized by their unusual headwear, these merchants offer bounties for a certain material. To start doing business with them, Lightning should talk to their leader, who can usually be found in Luxerion, in the Arcade. | ||||
5-5 Battle's Bounty | Wildlands | Sazh Katzroy | Defeat Zaltys at the Slaughterhouse in Yusnaan to collect Fragment of Courage. | |
It appears that one of the soul fragments is in Yusnaan's battle arena, the Slaughterhouse. Rumors are flying that a "special match" is being held with a most unusual prize being offered to the winner. Could that be the soul fragment? There's only one way to find out... | ||||
5-6 Beyond the Sandstorm | Wildlands | Sazh Katzroy | Head to Dead Dunes to beat the Cactair to get the Fragment of Kindness. | |
A unique creature called a Cactair roams the Dead Dunes, and it appears that it might hold the key to finding one of Dajh's soul fragment. It looks like a regular Cactuar, reports say, but for one unusual feature. What could that be? Whatever this "Cactair" looks like, the best place to search for it is the area near the Oasis Lighthouse. |
