Lightning approaches the first mission, the Ectopudding.

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.

Mission List

01 - Pond Scum

Mark:		Ectopudding
Locale:		Archylte Steppe – Central Expanse
Class:		D

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 awaken from my crystal slumber, I can help to repair the ruin it left in its wake...

Additional details

• Stone location: Archylte Steppe – Central Expanse, near the exit to Vallis Media
• Mark location: Near the pond in the middle of the Central Expanse
• Initial reward: Energy Sash
• Repeat reward: Bomb Core x3
• Rank earned: Good Samaritan

02 - Goodwill Hunting

Mark:		Uridimmu
Locale:		Archylte Steppe – Central Expanse
Class:		D

Time runs short. Today 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, so be it.

Additional details

• Stone location: Archylte Steppe – Central Expanse, near the mark from mission 01
• Mark location: Approximately south of the Cie'th Stone's location

• Repeat reward: Bomb Shell x3

03 - Massif Contamination

Mark:		Ugallu
Locale:		Yaschas Massif - Tsubaddran Highlands
Class:		D

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...

Additional details

04 - A Hero's Charge

Mark:		Adroa
Locale:		Yaschas Massif - The Ascendant Scarp
Class:		D

You mean to tell me my Focus is to hune that one-eyed adroa 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?

Additional details

• Stone location: Yaschas Massif - Tsubaddran Highlands
• Mark location: Yaschas Massif - The Ascendant Scarp

• Initial reward: Pearl Necklace

05 - Joyless Reunion

Mark:		Edimmu
Locale:		Yaschas Massif - Tsumitran Basin
Class:		D

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 Cie'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.

Additional details

• Mark location: Yaschas Massif - Tsumitran Basin
• Initial reward: Sorcerer's Mark
• Repeat reward: Bomb Core x5

06 - No Place Like Home

Mark:		Munchkin Maestro
Locale:		Yaschas Massif - The Pass of Padra
Class:		C

At last, reason to be thankful for the gift of l'Cie power! I am charged with slaying a munchkin maestro-the very creature which brought devastation upon my home I left behind.

When I have put an end to this demon, and saved the village...please, bear my crystal to the forum. There I shall rest, never to leave my beloved home again.

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.

08 - The Eleventh Hour

Mark:		Rakshasa
Locale:		Vallis Media - Atzilut's Tears
Class:		C

A rakshasa lurks along the route to the Yaschas Massif, and I'm supposed to hunt it down? I think I'll pass! If it's crystal or Cie'th, my life is over anyway. I might as well make the most of it! From here on out, I live for me!

Additional details

• Stone location: Vallis Media - Base Camp
• Mark location: Vallis Media - Atzilut's Tears
• Additional foes: Flan x 3
• Initial reward: Collector Catalog
• Repeat reward: Bomb Shell x3

09 - Heave-ho

Mark:		Kaiser Behemoth
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
Class:		C

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.

All those years of hard work and careful planning of this! I should have lived more for the moment.

Additional details

• Stone location: Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
• Mark location: Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
• Initial reward: Rhodochrosite
• Repeat reward: Bomb Core x3
• Waystone

10 - Hollow Hope

Mark:		Ambling Bellows
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
Class:		C

The war claimed my family.
The war claimed my home.
This focus is my last remaining hope.

I long for the release of crystal sleep. Perhaps when I wake the world will be a better place. I should hurry and destroy the ambling bellows raising havoc on the steepe's northern highplain.

Additional details

• Stone location: Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
• Mark location: Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
• Initial reward: Super Conductor x4
• Repeat reward: Thrust Bearing x3

11 - Pride Before a Fall

Mark:		Adroa
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
Class:		C

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.

Additional details

• Stone location: Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
• Mark location: Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
• Additional foes: Adroa x5
• Initial reward: Frost Ring x2

Mark:		Geiseric
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Western Benchland
Class:		C

The Undying-fearsome Cie'th who defy fal'Cie will, driven by an intense loathing of all that lives. Geiseric, the Profane, is of their number, and my Focus is his doom. He is said to lead a horde of Cie'th on the steepe's western benchland.

To think you would become such a Cie'th, Geiseric! You, who would not harm a fly. Whatever part of you lingers in that grotesque prison of crystal and flesh must suffer. I will set you free my friend.

Additional details

• Stone location: Archylte Steppe - Arid Strath
• Mark location: Archylte Steppe - Western Benchland
• Initial reward: Royal Armlet
• Repeat reward: Bomb Core x5
• Rank earned: Baneslayer

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 assembled 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.

• Class: C
• Stone Location: Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
• Mark Location: Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
• Mark(s): Goblin Chieftain, Goblin x 3
• Reward: Cobaltite

14 - Defender of the Flock

A sahagin infestation threatens the steppe chocobos who roost at the Font of Namva- those gentle souls I've known since I was a child!

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.

• Class: C
• Stone Location: Archylte Steppe - Western Benchland
• Mark Location: Archylte Steppe - Font of Namva
• Mark(s): Sahagin x 2, Ceratosaur x 2
• Reward: Gysahl Reins
• Rank: Feathered Friend

NB! This area is inaccessible until mission 12 is completed.

15 - Tribal Warfare

There are other l'Cie who share my Focus. The first to complete it is the winner, with freedom from this l'Cie fate as his prize. But for all who have tried, none have yet survived.

...So I guess that will make me the first! No more being a fal'Cie tool for me! Just need to take out that goblin chieftain on the northern highplain, near the range of the behemoth king...

• Class: C
• Stone Location: Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
• Mark Location: Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
• Mark(s): Goblin Chieftain, Goblin x 6
• Reward: Survivalist Catalog

NB! This is inaccessible until mission 14 is completed as a chocobo is needed to reach it.

16 - Surrogate Slaver

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.

Perhaps if I complete her Focus, the fal'Cie will set her free? I will set out for the Font of Namva at dawn, and put an end to the sahagin's predation!

• Class: B
• Stone Location: Archylte Steppe - Eastern Tors
• Mark Location: Archylte Steppe - Font of Namva
• Mark(s): Sahagin x 2, Ceratoraptor x 4
• Reward: Rhodochrosite

17 - A Widow's Wrath

A Pulsework champion that had been working the Mah'habara Subterra has gone haywire, and is now raising chaos on the steppe's northern highplain. It is my Focus to see the automaton deactivated-a duty which I undertake not only at the fal'Cie's behest, but for my husband, whom the accursed machine butchered.

By all that is sacred, I will not rest until I have torn it washer from bolt!

• Class: B
• Stone Location: Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
• Mark Location: Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
• Mark(s): Pulsework Champion
• Reward: Perfect Conductor x 3
• Waystone?: Yes

18 - So Close, Yet So Far

Who designed this place? It's a maze of dead ends! How am I supposed to find the ambling bellows? Knowing it's in a twilight cavern doesn't help much when I'm trapped in a maze of the blasted things!

Curse my luck. I'm running out of time. I'd every intention of fulfilling my Focus, and now I'm going to end up a Cie'th!

• Class: C
• Stone Location: Mah'habara - Twilit Cavern
• Mark Location: Mah'habara - Twilit Cavern
• Mark(s): Ambling Bellows, Hoplite x 4
• Reward: Sorcerer's Mark
• Waystone?: Yes

19 - Triangle of Tragedy

Time is of the essence. He must not defeat me in this! I must be the one to slay the uridimmu at Sulyya Springs.

We were always together-he, my princess and I-but it was he who won her love. Were he now to turn to crystal, I fear it would break her heart...and so it must be me! Then my princess can live out her days in happiness, as a princess rightly should.

• Class: C

• Mark Location: Sulyya Springs - Subterranean Lake
• Mark(s): Uridimmu x 4

20 - Words Unspoken

When father told me he was leaving us, I struck him full in the face. I can still remember the look in his eye to this day...just as I'll never forget the way he picked himself up and left without a word. I found out later that he had turned to crystal. It pain me now to think of how I never made any attempt to understand how he suffered under the burden of his Focus. That is why I must triumph over the goblin chieftain near Taejin's Tower-so that someday I can tell him that I am sorry.

• Class: C
• Stone Location: Taejin's Tower - The Palisades

27 - Mithridates, the Lone

The Undying-fearsome Cie'th who defy fal'Cie will, driven by an intense loathing of all that lives. Mithridates, the lone, is of their number, and his undoing is my burden.

It is said in life he once loved music. I can but hope the notes sounded by the elevator in Taejin's Tower descending from the apex might lure him out, and allow me to restore a touch of harmony to the discord of the tower's tainted song.

28 - Faded Glory

This timeworn ghost town is Oerba? I hardly recognize the place! Could the ceratosaurs I've been sent to destroy have done this? And even if they did, what purpose would it serve to eradicate them now? Are the fal'Cie planning to raise a new village in this white wasteland?

Well, whatever they intend, I suppose I'd better get to the harbor where the creatures nest...

• Stone Location: Oerba - Village Proper
• Mark Location: Oerba - Village Proper
• Mark(s): Ceratosaur x 10
• Reward: Giant's Glove
• Waystone?: Yes

29 - Faltering Faith

The cloven spire of Taejin's Tower forms the bridge between the Archylte Steppe and the outlying lands. Yet a rampaging juggernaut now bars all passage, and I have been charged with its disposal.

Why do the fal'Cie value that place so? Why do they protect it, and yet stand idly by when our village is threatened? I sense the place must guard some secret of theirs...

• Mark Location: Taejin's Tower - The Palisades
• Mark(s): Juggernaut
• Reward: Uraninite

30 - Syphax, the Insidious

The Undying-fearsome Cie'th who defy Fal'Cie will, driven by an intense loathing of all that lives. Syphax, the Insidious, is of their number-a number of which I am tasked with bringing low.

My mark dwells in the abandoned dig Cie'th lair deep withing the bowels of Mah'habara. He's a treacherous foe, to be sure, but one I must overcome if I am to see my crystallized beloved again.

31 - Newfound Purpose

It doesn't much matter if it's destroying a Pulsework champion in the Haerii Archaeopolis or picking flowers in the yard-if it's my Focus, I'm going to do it. Life was boring before, with nothing to live for. But now I'm a l'Cie, I have a Focus-and life is beautiful, the clouds have parted, and...and there are rainbows! Cie'th or crystal, it's all the same to me-so long as I can put myself to the test, challenge my own limits, and win!

32 - And Then There Was One

Fate is not without a sense of irony, it seems. I am commanded to hunt the amam that stalks a pond in the steppe's western benchland-just as the rest of my family were once charged, to their doom. They are Cie'th now, and I alone am left to put an end to the abomination's bloody reign.

I am coming for you creature.
I will have my revenge.

• Reward: Glass Buckle

33 - A Parent's Pledge

I have been charged with putting down a stray adamanchelid that wanders the steppe's eastern tors, no doubt seeking its lost parents.

What kind of monster could preform such a deed? Not a day goes by I don't recall the pain of losing a child to a rampaging beast. Would I now subject other parents to that fate? No, I forsake my Focus. The cycle of suffering ends here.

The Undying-fearsome Cie'th who defy fal'Cie will, driven by an intense loathing of all that lives. Zenobia, The Butcher, is of their number, and I, of her line. But I go now to stay her blade, as my father and his father before him once attempted.

The Butcher's den is in the old Haerii archaeopolis, at the northern edge of the steppe. There, at the scene of her foulest atrocities, I will expunge her taint, and restore my family's honor.

52 - Head in the Clouds

Why do men dream of flying? And why must we be without wings? True, a nest of vipers hangs in our sky. Yet were the sky the province of all things harmful to life, still would I gladly soar amongst the clouds. What cruel irony then that I should be charged with smiting a winged zirnitra...

Regardless, I had best head to the eastern tors. Then again, crystals cannot fly, and some Cie'th can...

We five l'Cie are the Shepherds who see the caravan safe from harm.

For honor, the fal'Cie, and my brothers, I will slay the spiny scourge, and carve my own legend in its ruined husk.

• Reward: Genji Glove

63 - Crushed by Doubt

I've been given the Focus of eliminating a stampeding adamantortoise in the eastern tors of the Archylte Steppe. It seems someone enraged the beast by attacking its young, and the fal'Cie wish it dead.

I understand the danger it poses, but is violence the only solution? I would be enraged if someone attacked my child! It just seems wrong...

64 - The Doomherald

Vercingetorix, bane lord of the Undying, lives on. But how? I smot the fiend's ruin so long ago it seems an eternity. Yet it was my Focus then, as it is now, and at his end I turned to crystal. Did some unearthly power quicken his lifeless corpse again, even as I dreamt?

No matter. I know where he lurks: in the Paddreaen archaeopolis, whose doom he did herald. There do I go, to bury the beast as many times as I must.
