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. The area where the body was found has been locked down, and Lightning can do nothing until the blockade is lifted. She must assist in the murder investigation by looking for witnesses and searching for clues that might identify the culprits. Based on the testimony of the witnesses, a clearer picture of the crime is emerging. The dead girl is but the latest in a series of victims, all young women with the same rose-colored hair as Lightning. Many of the city residents suspect the Children of Etro in having a hand in the crimes. It is time for Lightning to report this information to the inquisitor. The inquisitor has lifted the blockade around the North Station. Although the authorities still lack definite proof, the Children of Etro appear to be involved somehow in the murder—and if so, they know about the savior. The evil savior will die at the hands of the Shadow Hunter, read the message. What could it mean?
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. Lightning follows the heretics to a graveyard where they conduct nightly rites that seem to have some connection with the murders—but the gate is closed to outsiders. To open the gate, Lightning must collect the four numbers of the pass code. This code is distributed to all the heretics in the city. Somewhere out in the streets of Luxerion is hidden the key to the graveyard...
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. Warehouse District Code Lighting 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. 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. 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. 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! 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. One inside the graveyard, she will be able to observe the rites with her own eyes—and stop them, if need be. Lightning speaks the four numbers she has found. They must have been the 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, inside that grim graveyard shrouded in darkness?
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. Just as Lightning arrives at the site of the heretics' gathering, Noel appears. Although the Children of Etro hail the Shadow Hunter, he wants nothing to do with them and their murders. Just like Lightning, he has come to put an end to their grim rites. But this does not make him Lightning's ally. He still wants to fight her, just as the Oracle Drive prophesizes. He issues a challenge, then slips into the night as the Order security forces arrive.
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. Strangers are not welcome in the Warren. The door leading further inside is shut fast, and will only be opened for those who can show that they belong. If Lightning does not find a way through, she will not be able to reach Noel. Lightning is inside the Den of Shadows. The clock is ticking toward the end of the world—it is time for the final showdown with Noel. Lumina appears within the Chaos, and tells Lightning why Noel is so intent on making the prophecy come true. She explains that Noel is a prisoner of the past, consumed by grief over the death of Yeul. Only her promise that they will meet again has kept him going. When he saw the recording in the Oracle Drive, he was gripped by the idea of making it come true. All of it—including the death of Lightning. Is there any way to change his mind? Can his soul be saved? Noel believed that if he slayed Lightning, a future would come about where he is reunited with Yeul. But even so, he could not bring himself to deliver the killing blow, and instead he destroyed the Oracle Drive, choosing to forge his own future instead of remaining in the thrall of a prophecy. It was never in Noel to kill an innocent person, even if it meant saving the world.

Main Quest 2: Yusnaan

See also: 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. Lightning manages to slay all the monsters in the ballroom and the automated defenses unseal the doors. Lightning hurries towards the upper floors of the palace in pursuit of Snow. Snow is not the man that he used to be. He has changed—but then, so has Lightning. She is the savior now, and she wants Snow's soul. As Lightning desperately chases Snow, a mysterious young girl appears in front of her. Lightning defeats the monster that the girl summons, but when Lightning tries to continue the pursuit, she finds her way blocked. With palace guards right on her heels, she has no choice but to give up the chase and return to the Ark.
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... Lightning's goal is the palace—but first, she has to find a way into the Augur's quarter. Anyone passing through the main gate must show an ID card, which is not easy to acquire. However, there is another way in, a secret back route that needs no ID card.To use it, she must find the so-called Tour Guide and purchase one of his tickets. Only the rich and privileged are allowed through the main gate into the Augur's Quarter—but there is another route, along the cargo train track. To avoid the trains, Lightning needs to be at the Industrial Area gate at 6:00 PM and traverse the route fast. But the way is blocked with Chaos infusions and monsters, and any delay or misstep will foil the plan. Lumina's interference causes the back route into the Augur's Quarter to literally collapse, and Lightning falls into the warehouse district. This was not part of the plan, but if she hurries, she can still make it to the palace in time. First, she must head for the Augur's Quarter. Lumina causes Lightning to fall outside of the Augur's Quarter, but this turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Lightning recovers an ID card to the quarter, and now she can enter and leave at will. The palace accepts deliveries only once per day. Lightning needs to hurry to the Augur's Quarter or she will miss her change to get into the palace. Lightning gets inside the Augur's Quarter, but the delivery entrance that she hoped to use to infiltrate the palace has been locked down along with all the other entrances. But she can't stop now. According to Hope, Chaos readings inside the palace are spiking out of control. Lightning has to get into the palace more urgently than ever. They need a new plan...
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. Lightning wants to increase the number of fireworks that are launched at the show's climax, and the director Sarzhak agrees. He's bored of the show and leaps at the chance to shake things up. Lightning now needs to scour the city for fireworks and deliver them to the crew chief. She needs lots of them—that statue is not going to come down easily. Hope has a surprise for Lightning. He tells that the only way she can be in the right position when the statue falls is to be on stage as a performer. The director agrees to give Lightning the starring role—but only if has her own costume. Lightning needs to fight in the arena, win the perfect costume, and get back to the show in time for her 3:00 AM cue. Zoe is the owner of the Slaughterhouse and a former actress who once played the role of the savior. She gives Lightning her old costume as a reward for Lightning's victory in the battle arena. The grand plan is about to go into effect. Lightning just has to get into costume and talk to Sarzhak by 3:00 AM, in time for the show's grand finale. At the climax of the show, Lightning appears on stage in her role as the savior. Sarzhak suspects what she i up to, but has decided to play along and give her the fireworks show she asked for. The towering statue is shaken to its foundations, and then with a massive roar, it topples onto the palace walls.
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. Beyond the sealed door, Lightning senses the dim presence of Snow. But the door is encased in ice, created with the otherworldly powers of the l'Cie. The ice is the very manifestation of Snow's torment, and Lightning cannot break it with brute strength. Elsewhere in the palace will be a key. Something important to Snow. Something that will resonate with his heart. The private room of the man who rules Yusnaan looks more like a torture chamber than a place of repose. On the table in the middle of the room, Lightning finds the pendant that Snow gave to Serah as a token of their love. Did he leave it here because he has abandoned his love—or because he wanted to keep it safe? Everything depends on the answer. If this does not melt the ice, then nothing ever will. Snow has been using his l'Cie powers to absorb the Chaos, fighting a solitary battle against the rising tide. In a last desperate act, Snow allows himself to be transformed into a Cie'th and attacks Lightning. But she cries out one last appeal: Don't let your love for Serah disappear into the Chaos! Somehow, Snow hears her—and returns to human form.

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. The Angel of Valhalla is a white chocobo saint to herald the end of the world. It is part of and old legend told throughout the Wildlands. In a village called Canopus Farms, there lives a famed veterinarian by the name of Dr. Gysahl. Apparently, he is the best man to ask about legendary chocobos. At first, Dr. Gysahl wants nothing to do with Lightning. But when she tells him about the voice she heard, his attitude changes immediately. The doctor reveals he has heard the same voice, and goes on to explain more about the legend of the angel. He then suggests that Lighting talk to his assistant, Seven, who is an expert on tracking chocobos.
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. Gysahl admires the animal with satisfaction. He had pursued the legend of the angel for half a lifetime and now his quest is at an end. He is so moved that he tells the story of his daughter, and her death a century ago. The angel is still not fully recovered. If Lightning continues to nurse the creature, it may grow strong enough to take her to the temple of the goddess.
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. Lightning now knows the true nature of the great Chaos. It is made up of the very substance of Yeul's souls, that over countless generations of birth and rebirth have become threaded together to form the fabric of the Chaos. Yeul's existence is too dangerous, too destructive to be allowed in the new world, and that is why Caius refuses Lightning's salvation. He is inextricably bound to Yeul. He cannot die, but he can watch over the conflicted soul of Yeul, and descend with them into the darkness at the end of the world.

Main Quest 4: Dead Dunes

See also: 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. Lighting should seek them out. The barren sands of the Dead Dunes are not a fit place for human habitation. People are drawn here only for some powerful reason—and in the case of the bandits who form the majority of desert dwellers, that reason is treasure. If anyone knows where the clavis is, it is them. The question is: will they share their knowledge with an outsider? The settlement of Ruffian is run by a bandit gang calling itself Monoculus. They are a cagey, secretive group, and they are not willing to share information about the clavis with strangers. Lightning does not particularly want to join the gang, but she has little choice. She is going to have to take this trial that Adonis has presented to her. Lightning isn't going to get information about the clavis or anything else until she joins the Monoculus gang. She has little choice but to take their absurd trial, however impossible it sounds. She must find the sandstorm known as God's Wrath that rages near the bandit settlement...and somehow make it stop.
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. Lightning does something that no human has ever done: she activates the crux and ends the storm. Adonis is impressed—but not exactly surprised. Apparently, his boss had already determined that Lightning possesses special powers. In any case, Lightning is now part of the gang. She should follow Adonis back to the settlement and meet her new boss. Lightning has become an official member of the Monoculus gang. When she is taken to meet the bandits' leader, she finds herself face-to-face with Fang, an old comrade from centuries past. Fang has also been searching for the clavis—she wants to find it before the Order does. But she doesn't explain why, nor does she offer a reason for leaving Vanille alone with the Order, back in Luxerion...
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. Fang is unwilling to discuss her reasons for wanting the clavis. She does reveal that it is ultimately meant for Vanille, but why, and for what purpose, she remains silent. Fang will reveal all in her own good time; for now, Lightning needs to concentrate on the search. Inside the ruins is a sealed door that Fang and her gang have not been able to open. It seems the obvious place to begin... Within the desert ruins, Fang and Lightning at last arrive at the place where they believe the clavis rests. They can feel powerful energy surging within the chamber, but the way is barred by a massive door, sealed shut. Somewhere else in the ruins are strange murals that hold the key to breaking the seal. Lightning has to find them.
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. The Order plans to use the clavis in the Soulsong. The ceremony will not ease the suffering of the dead—it will obliterate them once and for all. Vanille does not know this, but she does know the ceremony will kill her. These is one more chilling fact: if the Soulsong is carried out, Lightning will lose all hope of finding Serah again.

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. Sazh is a shadow of the man that Lightning used to know. He clings a coffer of souls given to him by Lumina, his face harrowed and taunt with despair. Someone has told him that if he can collect enough souls fragments, his son will wake again... All the soul fragments are places in the coffer, but still Dajh does not respond. As Sazh rages in despair, Lumina tells him that it's because of his "scary face." It sounds like mere mockery, but she is speaking the truth. Sazh has allowed his anguish to overcome him, and this is why Dajh remains in the grip of the coma. In a very literal sense, his son is afraid to wake up. Sazh understands at last. Together with the chocobo chick - who turns out to be none other than Chocolina - he begins to fly airship home with laughter. then, like a miracle, Dajh's eyes flutter open.
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... Lightning follows the chocobo chick outside, and there, next to the wrecked airship she finds the Fragment of Mischief. This must be one of the soul fragments that Sazh was talking about. If she could find the rest, would she be able to revive Dajh?
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. Chocolina produces the Fragment of Smiles from her own heart. When she first met Lightning, she claimed she was not human, and it seems she was telling the truth. Perhaps, by collecting all of Dajh's soul fragments, Lightning will not just help Sazh and his son—she will also uncover the mystery behind Chocolina.
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. Lightning has obtained the Fragment of Radiance in a deal with one of the soul seed traders. The traders are collecting soul seeds on behalf of a certain organization. Could the fragment have come from that same organization?
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... Lightning emerges victorious in the battle arena special match and claims the Fragment of Courage as her prize. One question lingers, though. How did Zoe of the Slaughterhouse get the fragment in the first place? Could she have looted it from the body of a losing contestant?
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. Lightning has recovered the Fragment of Kindness. But what in the world was that Cactair? Where did it come from? And what was it doing with Dajh's soul fragment?

Despite demanding a higher price than before, Luka refuses to hand over her tears. Instead, she tells Lightning about the death of her beloved acting coach and mentor. For a century, she cried, until she could no longer cry for herself. Now, the only tears she produces are for sale, and if Lightning wants to buy some, she will have to come back another day.

	Quest Begins: Every day, on Pilgrim's Passage, near South Station, a quiet, dignified gentleman called Ranulph can be seen engrossed in his journal and nibbling on muffins brought to him by the baker, Marlon. Ranulph's life is contented and ordered, marred only by one small wrinkle—the notebook containing the entries from the first 50 years of his life is missing. Perhaps Lightning can find it for him. Current Status: Ranulph smilingly tells Lightning that there is nothing of interest in his lost journal, so she needn't read it if she does find it. According to Ranulph, the book may have ended up in a secondhand shop run by a woman called Mitka. It is a slim lead, but the only that Lightning has got. Lightning manages to find the woman Mitka. She once ran a secondhand shop, but she is retired now and devotes her days to God and the Order. Mitka claims she doesn't know where the notebook has gone—but then again, she seems to know more than she is letting on. The mystery goes deeper than a simple missing journal. If Lightning wants to learn more, it looks like she will have to go to the Warren and find a man with no name. In the Warren, Lightning finds a man with a past so dark that he has cast away his own name in a bid to escape it. At one time, he was called Reddick. When he hears that Lightning is helping Ranulph, he tells her that a woman called Erine has the missing journal, and that she can be found in Yusnaan, on a balcony famous for its view of the city and the monorail tracks beyond.

	Quest Begins: On Pilgrim's Passage in the holy district, Lightning meets a talking cat who begs for help. Can this really be part of the savior's mandate? Must Lightning help cats as well as people? Current Status" The talking cat is really a young boy called Ronan, whose soul has ended up in a cat's body thanks to Lumina's trickery. The only way to return him to his true form is a dose of an antidote called starlit spice. The first step is to find a merchant in Luxerion who sells the concoction. Lightning has found a merchant who can sell her a vial of starlit spice, which she needs to rescue Ronan from his jam. Rubrio sells his wares down by the Wall of Joy in the Warren. If Lightning can slay some Niblets, she should be able to collect a couple of niblet hairballs. Then Rubrio will mix the concoction for her. Lightning has the starlit spice, and now she just needs Ronan to take a whiff of the tincture. He can usually be found somewhere around daybreak in the company of cats. The problem is, if the other cats catch the scent they will surely try to steal the spice. Lightning has to get close to Ronan while avoiding the rest of the caterwauling cluster. The cats have stolen the precious vial of starlit spice. Perhaps Rubrio, the merchant down by the Wall of Joy in the Warren, can brew Lightning another batch.

	Quest Begins: The forgotten truths that lay in Ranulph's journal told the tale of his wife and child's murder--and a man who would give up all in his quest for revenge. When Lightning reminds Ranulph of the cruel reality he tried to forget, he says in a clipped tone that he needs to know who was responsible. He is prepared to face the truth, no matter how much it may hurt him. His resolve demands that Lightning see this through to the end. There might be others who know more about the murder of Ranulph's family. Lightning should seek out the reporter who wrote the article about the case. The reporter who was assigned the case of Ranulph's family is none other than Armand, who is in his usual spot on Saint's Hill in the Residences. He tells Lightning that he will look into the case again, but that he wants her to report back to him about her own adventures, so he can write stories to inspire the people. When Lightning completes either of these quests, she should talk to Armand: "Born from Chaos" (Luxerion, North-South Corridor, entrance to the warehouse district) "Fuzzy Search" (Wildlands, Aryas Village) Armand's investigations have turned up new information. The prime suspect in the murder was a man called Reddick. The world believes he is dead, but Lightning knows him as the "man with no name." But if Reddick is the killer, why did he preserve Ranulph's journal so carefully? Why not just burn the evidence? Maybe it is time Lightning paid another visit to the Wall of Joy, down in the Warren. Quest Complete" Lightning gets the whole story from Reddick. He confesses that he killed Ranulph's wife and daughter. But at the same time, he reveals another key fact, one that might have tragic consequences. Marlon, the baker's boy whom Ranulph is so fond, is Reddick's stepson. When Ranulph learns this, his whole world may come crashing down again. With a heavy heart, Lightning knows she must talk to him once more.

	Quest Begins: In an isolated chamber of the Sacred Grove in the Temple Ruins, Lightning finds an exploratory rover bot called Bhakti. It seems he is almost out of fuel, but Lightning might be able to help. This quest has a time limit. Current Status: The energia Bhakti needs can be found in three locations: Tobias's General Store in Ruffian, next to the Shrine of the Tablet in the Grave of the Colossi, and the foot of the Oasis Lighthouse. There might be other supplies elsewhere, too. Once Lightning has three energia of fuel, she should take them to Bhakti. Quest Complete: Fully mobile once again, Bhakti finally manages to open the chamber where he believes his comrades are waiting for him. But those comrades are not robots; they are humans, and long dead. When Bhakti learns that his friends cannot be repaired, his own systems shut down and he falls silent for good. Who can say if machines have souls? What is clear, is that in his final moments, Bhakti knew what it meant to be human.

Old Rivals	★☆☆	Tobias	—	—	From Day 1	Ruffian
	Quest Begins: Tobias is a wealthy merchant who runs several shops across the Dead Dunes. But the lack of competitors out in the desert means his selection is poor and his customer service worse.

Quest Complete: Now that Ramon has reopened his shop, Tobias is fired up about his business again—it's the competition that he really loved. His soul is released from the ennui that had gripped him, and now Lightning can expect to find much better wares in his shop.

Current Status: Ramon's wife, Monica, was killed by a monster out in the desert. Perhaps the monster that did the deed is still prowling the sands. Lightning should search for evidence of monster attacks on merchants and caravans. If Lightning can find Monica's arithmometer, she should take it to Ramon, who lounges near the north entrance of the Temple Ruins. Quest Complete: With his wife's arithmometer in his hands at last, Ramon remembers the dream Monica had for the both of them, in which they built a shop out here in the desert and made it a grand success.

He tells her that they have information about the holy clavis, but they will only share it if she joins the gang. Monoculus runs everything in the desert. If Lightning wants to accomplish anything while she is here, it might be a good idea to do what Adonis suggests. Current Status: Out in the desert, a storm called God's wrath rages endlessly. If someone can activate the monument that stands nearby, the storm will finally cease—or so the locals believe. Lightning must battle the Gurangatch that prowls nearby and recover the key that activates the monument. Quest Complete: As soon as Lightning gains possession of the Anchorite's Crux, the monument is activated, and the storm that no one could calm suddenly grows still.
