Revision as of 15:19, 15 January 2015
The city is alive with lights and fireworks, and the people wander the streets as if in a dream.
This is the third region of the game world, after Luxerion and the Dead Dunes. Only a short time remains before the world ends, but the city is alive with banquets and festivities, the people free to indulge their every desire. Snow the Patron rules over it all and maintains the peace.Official site description
Yusnaan, the City of Revelry (ユスナーン, Yusunān?) is a location in Nova Chrysalia in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Described as the "city of pleasure", it is home to a number of attractions, including fireworks displays, an arena, a giant Cactuar statue, and plays.[2] Yusnaan is home to the lone fal'Cie that continues to provide the town's residents with resources. Snow Villiers is the city's Patron, and a l'Cie charged with protecting the fal'Cie. The people of Yusnaan know the end of the world is near, and seek to spend their final days partying.

- Yusnaan
- Standing opposite to Luxerion in all ways is Yusnaan, capital of hedonism and revelry, which draws pleasure-seekers looking to enjoy what little time remains to them.
- In the area known was the Upper City, visitors can find the Champion's Quarter, home to the Slaughterhouse; the Glutton's Quarter, where many fine dishes are served; and the Augur's Quarter, where the rich gather to enjoy flights of fancy. The lower part of the city consists mostly of old warehouses an abandoned factories.
- In the Patron's palace, great banquets and revelries are held each night. However, recently Snow does not show himself often. and security around the palace is tightening. Chaos infusions continue to spread throughout the palace, and some grumbling voices are even beginning to wonder if the Chaos hasn't overcome their great Patron at last.
- The Palace of Yusnaan
- The glittering city of Yusnaan is the one and only hub of production left in the world. Most industries fell to the encroaching Chaos and materials have become scarce and even impossible to attain. In this world, most of the food and goods needed for daily living are made of Pandaemonium, the last of the fal'Cie.
- The goods made by the fal'Cie are shipped to the palace and then redistributed throughout Nova Chrysalia. The palace that plays host to the nightly banquets is also a vital link in humanity's last lifeline, and as the Patron, Snow bears the heavy responsibility of protecting it.
Story
Template:Sideicon
As revealed by Snow in Final Fantasy XIII: Reminiscence -tracer of memories-, while he and the rest of the declining humanity initially lived in the deteriorating man-made Cocoon Bhunivelze, Yusnaan was created by the fal'Cie Pandaemonium after it built Luxerion. Making its home in Yusnaan, Pandaemonium established a supply chain of food and goods to lure people to abandon the man-made Cocoon, and Snow was among the first explorers on Nova Chrysalia. The supply plant in Yusnaan was taken over by Snow, and currently provides the world with food made of Chaos, though some people prefer to grow their own food. As the last fal'Cie of the world and Yusnaan's provider, it is under perpetual guard.
Snow became the Patron of Yusnaan by popular demand as the populace deemed him a fair divider of the scarce resources. According to his retelling of the events in Final Fantasy XIII: Reminiscence, Snow gained the title of Patron from the Order, pretending to respect their authority to keep them from taking the city by force. In time, with his friends scattered to the winds and the regret of Serah's death heavy on his heart, the ongoing politics with Order sapped Snow of his energy. By the time Lightning awakes from crystal stasis, now a shell of his former self with his l'Cie brand at its final stage, Snow seldom appears except during the nocturnal festivities. Snow made it law in Yusnaan the citizens are to live in perpetual celebration and revelry.
During the end-of-the-world celebrations a Chaos infusion erupts within Snow's palace, summoning Anubys monsters. Lightning arrives and fights Snow and afterward the two deal with the monsters. After Lumina brings down the ballroom chandelier and Snow halts it, he flees deeper into the palace with Lightning in hot pursuit. She is accosted by Lumina, who claims she is different from the usual servants of Bhunivelze since she can see inside the Chaos, then summons a Zaltys to block Lightning's path and disappears. After defeating the Zaltys, Lightning's path is blocked by a barrier of Chaos, and she flees from the approaching palace guards.
Lightning returns to Yusnaan determined to infiltrate the palace and free Snow from his pain. She tries to enter the palace via the Augur's Quarter, but lacks an ID and is refused entry. She contacts a man who can smuggle her inside and participates in a secret "tour" that leads her through Yusnaan's industrial area. She meets Lumina who says Yusnaan will soon be swallowed by Chaos, and says Snow no longer cares as he has been taken over by despair. Lumina summons a monster and Lightning defeats it, but its deathblow sends her falling down to the district below. She finds an ID card and uses it to access Augur's Quarter, where she and Hope devise a plan to get her across the palace walls. Hope suggests they topple the Statue of God and Lightning convinces the director of the night's play, Legend of the Savior, to incorporate more fireworks into the show. Lightning helps gather the fireworks and convinces the director to let her star in the play.
Lightning plays her role and the statue falls allowing her to cross the palace walls. Inside she finds numerous Chaos infusions, and comes across a frozen door. Lightning finds Serah's engagement necklace from another room and uses it to dispel the ice from the sealed door and faces Snow. Snow plans to absorb the Chaos to save the city, and then have Lightning kill him in his Cie'th form. Though Lightning tries to talk him out of it, Snow steps into the Chaos infusion and transforms into a mindless Cie'th hybrid. After she subdues him, Snow remains unresponsive. Lumina appears and urges Lightning to kill him, saying it's what he has been waiting for, but Lightning pleads for Snow to return to his senses, saying Serah still needs him. Snow snaps out of his stupor and his transformation is reversed. His soul is saved and Lightning leaves him with a task to continue protecting Yusnaan until it is eventually destroyed along with the rest of Nova Chrysalia.

Quests
Main Quests
0-1 A Different 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.
This scenario works as a tutorial and a prologue. It is also the playable scenario in the Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Demo.
Lightning is sent into a battle against Anubys and get a tutorial how schemata and the battle interface work. Once the battle ends Lightning learns about the camera settings, and more enemies spawn. Her goal is to clear the room by defeating all enemies. There will be a tutorial teaching how to guard against incoming attacks.
After defeating all enemies a door opens. The path leads to a black market dealer and there is a tutorial teaching how to buy items. Lightning should fill her inventory with Potions (they are free), then head upstairs and go left.
In the next corridor there are more enemies and a tutorial on how to switch targets on the battlefield. Continuing down the corridor and jumping on the crates there is another corridor, and a large hall with Snow going left. Lightning must climb the ladder on the left side and push forward. At the end of the next corridor there is a gate. Lightning must push the button on the pillar nearby (right side while facing the gate), and eventually she will enter a hall where Lumina appears.
Lumina summons a Zaltys for Lightning to battle, part of the next tutorial that teaches how to stagger enemies. Defeating it earns a Firewyrm Scale.
Approaching the door at the end of the path ends the quest. Completing the quest earns the The Savior's Descent achievement.
2-1 The Great Break-In
- 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 sneak into the palace through the delivery entrance, but first she has to get into the exclusive Augur's Quarter...
Lightning visits Augur's Quarter in the south end of the city, but is denied entry as she does not have the correct ID. Heading down and right, the player can find a man in a pink suit playing a drum, the Tour Guide, who offers to let Lightning join the secret sneaking-in tour for the price of 2,000 gil. After paying the fee, Lightning can start the "tour" at the door to the Industrial Area at the north end of town at 6 PM.
The tour consists of crossing the warehouse district that is littered with monsters. Player will simply need to move from one mark on the map to another in a straight path. There is one merchant along the way from whom Lightning can buy restorative items. At the end of the "tour" Lightning meets Lumina and fights a boss, Cyclops, sending her plummeting to the lower levels. The player must follow the exclamation mark to find two skeletons and the ID Card needed to enter Augur's Quarter. The player must follow the next exclamation mark to reach a gate and use the card to open it, and then cross the Underground Route and use the ID card again to open the next gate. Lightning emerges at Pleasure Alley. Once she gets to Augur's Quarter, however, she finds all doors to the palace are locked.
2-2 The Legend of the Savior
- Hope cones 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 and Hope devise a plan to cross the palace wall by toppling the Statue of God during the night's performance. After speaking with the director and the Pyrotechnician Boss on the site, Lightning is tasked with bringing ten Fireworks before 12:30 AM. The Fireworks are obtained via numerous ways. The boss will hand out the Boss's Note and ask Lightning to visit four locations marked on the map.
The player can visit the locations as the boss asked but while working on the current objective, two side quests are available, and it might be a good idea to complete them first: Fireworks In A Bottle and Fireworks For A Steal. Completing these two side quests earns 11 Fireworks (which is more than needed), and you will save time. The Chocobo Girls also give fireworks in exchange to a password.
If the player doesn't want to do the side quests, they can visit the locations marked on the map. Lightning must return to the boss before 12:30, or wait for the next day. The first technician is next to the Cactuar Statue and gives three fireworks, but must be reached before 10:30 PM. The technician on Central Avenue gives 4 fireworks by completing Fireworks In A Bottle quest before 11 PM. Near the Slaughterhouse the next technician visited before 11:30 PM gives three fireworks. North towards the train station one can get two additional fireworks from the fourth technician, who will disappear at midnight.
Fighting at Slaughterhouse between 1 AM and 3 AM pits Lightning against a Personal Guard to win a Fireworks.
After getting enough fireworks Lightning must return to the Augur's Quarter and talk to the Pyrotechnician Boss again.
After handing out the Fireworks, Lightning must speak with the director and convince him to let her play a role on the stage. The director says he will let Lightning on the performance, if she wins a suitable outfit to wear from a Slaughterhouse tournament, starting the The Fighting Actress quest. Lightning must be back with the Midnight Mauve garb by 3:00 AM. The player can do other side quests until 3 AM, and then talk to Sarzhak, this completes the quest.
2-3 Solitary Patron
- 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–or 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.
It is a good idea to enter the palace well-prepared by having fire-based attacks for Snow, and lightning-based attacks for the creatures inside. There will be numerous Chaos infusions inside.
Following the same path as in the prologue, Lightning will reach a locked door but it can be opened using the ID Card obtained earlier. Lightning can follow the corridor to reach a closed gate, but tapping the red button near the crates opens it. Lightning should follow the main corridor until she ends up in a larger area. Moving east, then south, then west, around the area gets her to the top floor. Jumping over a small pile of crates, Lightning will eventually reach another large chamber with a closed gate where the switch is above her position. Jumping over more crates Lightning should head east through a new tunnel, then move south and then west following the upper corridor to reach the area above the gate. Going around the chamber where the gate is (now below Lightning), and she will reach the red switch and head through it.
Moving east, then south, and then east again, Lightning enters another larger area with multiple crates and vertical structures. Jumping down, hopping over the crates and following the tunnel to some smashable boxes on the left side finds a ladder behind them to get to the switch and a treasure sphere containing Frostbane Choker.
Lightning should activate the switch, follow the tunnel behind the gate, jump over more crates and find a soldier who will sell her Potions and Phoenix Downs. Following the main corridor there is a frozen door, but it cannot be opened yet. Lightning must head west and continue along the main passage that leads to a ladder. Climbing it, Lightning can see into Snow's Room, but it cannot be entered from this side. Following the corridor north, then east, finds another chamber. The switch needed to activate is on the right side, while in the middle of the chamber is a ladder. Lightning should climb it, head left and kill the Anubys guards.
Without jumping down, Lightning should head north, then east and continue along the suspended grates, and activate the switch. Entering the opened gate and following the tunnel enters a large room with two Anubys guards. Lightning should continue along the corridor they were protecting.
Lightning can now get into Snow's Room and get Serah's Pendant. Lightning should jump through the hole to get on the lower level and move south, east and north over the crates to get to the frozen door that now opens leading Lightning to Patron's Chamber, where Snow awaits.
Defeating Snow Villiers completes the quest and earns Maximum EP +1, Maximum HP +300, Maximum ATB +10, Strength +112, and Magic +28. After the battle, Lightning can pick up the Ghostly Hood from the sparkling red area on the ground.
Completing the quest earns the Hope at the Edge of Despair achievement.
Side Quests
Canvas of Prayers
Yusnaan has a total of fourteen Canvas of Prayers quests, which can be accessed by speaking with Chocolina, located outside the Monorail Station. These quests do not earn Eradia, but completing them will award gil, stat boosts, and adornments.
Chocobo Girls
This is not an official side quest and thus will not appear on the menu's list of side quests, but the chocobo girls give one Fireworks each if Lightning has read a note on a wall informing her of the "password". One of the posters is on the western side of the southern back alley route in Reveler's Quarter. If Lightning obtains Fireworks from the four chocobo girls, she'll get the Miqo'te Dress garb. The Chocobo Girls are found near the Slaughterhouse in Champion's Quarter, in Glutton's Quarter between the inn and the outfitters, on Central Avenue, and in the western side of the back alley of Reveler's Quarter. The girls are available from 5 PM to 3 AM.
Fireworks in a Bottle
- On Yusnaan's Central Avenue, a drunk pyrotechnician refuses to hand over any fireworks to Lightning. But if Lightning were to bring him a bottle of Yusnaan's finest, he might be inclined to change his mind.
To get the four fireworks from the Drunk Pyrotechnician on the Central Avenue (his location is marked on the map after talking to the Pyrotechnician Boss during the main quest), Lightning must visit the Banquet of the Lord east of Glutton's Quarter and buy a bottle of Bacchus's Brew from a waiter for 1,000 gil. Giving the brew to the Drunk Pyrotechnician completes the quest.
The Fighting Actress
- In The Champion's Quarter stands the Slaughterhouse battle arena. Zoe, the owner, has given Lightning the go-ahead to fight in tonight's special match. The grand prize will be a gown that Zoe herself once wore on stage. But it isn't enough for Lightning to just win the battles–she has to do it with style and grace. In other words she must put on a show.
After delivering the Fireworks to the Pyrotechnician Boss at the Augur's Quarter, Lightning speaks with the director who asks her to get a garb for the night's play from the Slaughterhouse. Next Lightning must speak with Zoe at the Slaughterhouse, the western-side of Yusnaan, and she signs her for a tournament.
Opponent | Difficulty | Reward |
---|---|---|
Gremlin | ★ | Bronzed Medal x1 |
Anubys | ★★ | Silvered Medal x1 |
Zaltys | ★★★ | Crystal Medal x1 |
Winning all three matches completes the quest.
Songless Diva
- In the Fountain Square, Reveler's Quarter, Lightning meets a single called Olga who has been abandoned by Berdy, her lover and songwriting partner. If Lightning were to find the wayward Berdy, it could help the diva get her voice back.
After talking to a woman in a blue dress on the Fountain Square, Lightning will spot a suspicious man draped in purple. Talking to him, he confesses to being Berdy and losing something important on the east end of Lower City near the beach. Going there spawns a group of eight Gremlins. Defeating them earns the Music Satchel. Returning it to Berdy completes the quest.
Stolen Things
- On Yusnaan's Central Avenue, Lightning is waylaid by a gentleman named Gregory. He tells her about a pickpocket called Pickett who works in the area. Gregory is worried about the young man, and wants Lightning to help him. Lightning has to try and track down Pickett in the Reveler's Quarter and give him his father's letter.
If Lightning ventures to Fountain Square and stops near the Side Alley, Pickett, a kid with a chocobo on his shoulder, will steal 200 gil or a single Fireworks off Lightning. Chasing him and talking to him retrieves the belongings.
Gregory is a man with top hat in Central Avenue, who, upon hearing the boy stole something from Lightning, asks her to locate the boy and give him Father's Letter. Approaching Pickett and allowing him to steal the letter, Lightning must give chase and talk to him again. Returning to Gregory afterward completes the quest.
Fireworks for a Steal
- Just off Hawker's Row in the Glutton's Quarter, Lightning meets Funicula, a fireworks lover set to open the world's first fireworks specialty shop...except that his entire stock has been stolen by monsters. Can Lightning recover the fireworks before the time runs out?
A man called Funicula dreams of opening a fireworks shop, but his wares were stolen by a monster. He is found in the west of Glutton's Quarter near the Road of War that leads towards the Slaughterhouse. The monster that has the Fireworks (x5), a Skata'ne, is fought in the Road of War, and afterward Lightning can either keep the Fireworks, or give them to Funicula to complete the quest. If she gives them to Funicula, he will run off. Following him and talking to him again earns 7 Fireworks, and completes the quest.
A Testing Proposition
- In the Champion's Quarter, next to the battle arena, Lightning meets a potion-peddling alchemist called Velno who makes an interesting proposition. Velno has made a fortifying tincture by mixing two deadly poisons, and she wants Lightning to test it out. It sounds dangerous, but the potion might prove useful in battle. Hint: You must free up a slot for the potion in your recovery items inventory.
Velno mans the General Store at the Slaughterhouse. Lightning must have at least one spare Recovery Item slot, as Velno asks her to test out a vial of Nektar. Lightning must obtain a status ailment through fighting a monster, then use the Nektar mid-battle, but it does nothing.
When Lightning reports back to Velno she is given Nektar Mk II that needs to be applied after being poisoned in a battle (the Dead Dunes Goblots are good for this). Speaking to Velno afterward obtains a replacement and Lightning needs to use the next remedy, Mirakle Nektar, when afflicted with three status ailments. After all this is done, returning to Velno obtains the Nektar of the Gods that must be used during a Slaughterhouse battle. Talking to Velno again afterward completes the quest.
Last Date
- Lightning runs into a crestfallen young man by the name of Lennet who makes a surprising suggestion—he asks Lightning for a date, in a place of the girl who canceled on him. If Lightning feels sorry enough for the young man, she should don her best outfit and meet him at the Banquet of the Lord, in the Glutton's Quarter. Lightning must complete the quest within the next three days. The date must take between seven and eleven o'clock in the evening.
After talking to Lennet near the stairs to the Banquet of the Lord, Lightning must return between 7 PM and 11 PM and go to the Banquet of the Lord and talk to Lennet while wearing the Midnight Mauve garb to complete the quest. Lightning must do this within three days of accepting the quest or fail.
Free Will
- Fountain Square, the Reveler's Quarter. Lightning encounters a mysterious diviner who tells her that his colleague has used alchemic arts to acquire an eye that can see the future. If the two diviners are telling the truth, it might be worth Lightning's while to do as they bid her and follow her "true path as the savior."
The diviners are found in a shop near Fountain Square in the Reveler's Quarter. Upon accepting the quest, they tell Lightning to come back on the following day at noon. There is actually a grace period of six hours before and six hours after the given time of 12:00 noon, so Lightning will have to speak to the diviners on the following day between 06:00 and 17:59. She will then need to collect three Desert Flame gems.
The locations of the Desert Flame gems are listed below:
- 1 Desert Flame gem can be found in the underground tunnel that passes beneath the Cactuar statue, North of the Reveler's Quarter.
- 1 Desert Flame gem can be found by breaking the containers behind the Elegant Gentleman standing across from the inn outside the Augur's Quarter. Speaking with the Elegant Gentleman reveals that he coincidentally lost one of his Desert Flame gems and will reward Lightning with 6,000 gil in exchange for one.
- Up to 3 Desert Flame gems are sold for 2,000 gil each by a merchant near the Monorail Station. Note that depending on how many Desert Flame gems Lightning is carrying at the time, affects the total number of gems offered by the merchant.
After giving the Desert Flame gems to the diviners, Lightning will be tasked with killing every Niblet, including the Last One (Niblet Ω). Talking to the diviners after bringing the Niblets to extinction will complete the quest.
Friends Forever
- In the Reveler's Quarter, Lightning meets a young woman called Primrose, who is watching the chocobo show with rapt attention. Primrose claims that she herself is a chocobo, and that she is looking for her six chocobo companions. The girl looks human enough for Lightning, but her worry is real. Perhaps Lightning can help.
Primrose is a woman in Pleasure Alley near the stairs to Augur's Quarter. She claims to be a chocobo turned human who is looking for six lost chocobo chicks. It is easy to find them as Hope provides a list of their locations, and they appear as orange dots on the minimap.
- There is a chick in Hero's Garden of Patron's Palace with a guard.
- In Augur's Quarter, there is a chick with the man repairing the broken statue.
- Next to Cactuar Statue, there is a chick with a sitting girl.
- On Aromatic Market, below the stairs leading to Glutton's Quarter, there is a chick in a stall next to the fireworks.
- In Hawker's Row, there is a chick with a woman sitting on a table in Terrace Cafe, below the stairs.
- There is a chick to the west of Yusnaan Station, with a railway worker.
After finding all of the chicks, return to Primrose to complete the quest.
Family Food
- In the Glutton's Quarter, on Hawker's Row, Lightning meets the owner of Seedy's restaurant. The food is top-notch but the owner's business sense isn't, and his restaurant teeters on the edge of collapse. Even his own son has given up on the business. The only person who can save the restaurant now is the renowned epicurean known as Gordon Gourmet.
Seedy's restaurant is on the southeast part of Glutton's Quarter. He asks Lightning to sample his food and after she has taken a bite, asks her to find Gordon Gourmet. He is found in the Banquet of the Lord on the east side of Glutton's Quarter, going up the stairs. Gordon asks Lightning to eat at all six restaurants in Glutton's Quarter. She can always buy the cheapest option to save money. The restaurants are marked on the map. Lightning should start by talking to the Maitre D' at the entrance to the Banquet of the Lord, then go downstairs to visit Terrace Cafe, Veggie Parlor, Fishy Flavors, Meat Grill, and Stand 'n Sip. Returning to Gordon Gourmet, he'll give Lightning a new challenge: defeat the great cat Schrodinger.
Once the cat is beaten Lightning receives the Civet Musk. Giving it to Gordon, he will give Lightning Gordon Gourmet's Recipe. Returning to Seedy's Owner, he will give Lightning Steal a la Civet to take back to Gordon. Taking the item to Gordon completes the quest.
Tanbam's Taboo
- In the Champion's Quarter, in front of the battle arena, Lightning encounters a man gripped by remorse. Tanbam is his name, and he broke an alchemic taboo to create an ensorcelled machine. Powered by Chaos itself, the machine has already slain many brave fighters. The only person who can stop it now is the Slaughterhouse's knight of light--but even for her, it is a tall order. Can Lightning defeat the dread machine Desmond?
Tanbam near the fenced area outside the Slaughterhouse asks Lightning to vanquish an automaton he's built. Accepting the battle challenge, Lightning receives Desmond Notes. Desmond is invulnerable to status ailments, but should not prove to difficult to defeat. Winning the battle completes the quest.
Play It for Me
- In the Champion's Quarter, just off Armor Alley, stands a famous Cactuar statue. Here Lightning encounters a young trumpeter by the name of Morris playing a very familiar tune. He can only play a few notes of the melody. If Lightning wants to hear more, she will have to collect the rest of the score from the musical treasure spheres. This is another of Lumina's games—but maybe it's worth Lightning's while to play along.
Morris is found in Champion's Quarter on the steps playing few notes of the theme, "FINAL FANTASY XIII - The Promise", catching Lightning's attention. Morris gives Lightning item Musical Treasure Sphere Key so she can open treasure spheres that emit music notes and play "The Promise". They are all behind smashable containers. Nostalgic Score: Coda is west from Yusnaan Station in a dead end. Nostalgic Score: Chorus is behind the fenced area in Coliseum Square. Nostalgic Score: Refrain is atop the ladder east from the Cactuar Statue. Giving the three items to Morris concludes the quest.
Adoring Adornments
- Near the entrance to the Augur's Quarter, Lightning meets Candice, an aspiring baton twirler who just can't seem to get noticed. Candice believes that she needs to jazz up her wardrobe, and after seeing the dashing figure that Lightning cuts, decides she is just the person to help. Lightning's mission? To collect as many adornments as she can and deliver them to Candice.
Template:See Also Candice is a woman near the Statue of God in Augur's Quarter. After completing main quest 2-2 The Legend of the Savior, she moves to Pleasure Alley near base of stairs leading to Augur's Quarter.
For the first scene with Candice to trigger Lightning needs 10 adornments. For the second scene she needs 30, and for the third scene she needs 55 adornments. The player can simply get the required 55 adornments and talk to Candice three times in succession to complete the quest without needing to return to her more than once. Adornments are obtained by completing quests and by buying from outfitters.
Adoring Candice
- The baton twirler Candice is the talk of the Augur's Quarter. Everyone knows her now, but her biggest fan remains Tomesso. He wants to confess his love by giving Candice a present, but the shop is always sold out. Tomesso is a busy young man, but maybe Lightning can go to the shop in his stead and buy the special adornment.
Tomesso is a man near the guardpost on the stairs of Augur's Quarter. He admires Candice and asks Lightning to buy a gift he could give her. Lightning must head for Armor Alley between 3 PM and 5 PM and find a new salesman and for 4000 gil Lightning can buy Gift Glasses. Giving the item to Tomesso completes the quest.
Death Safari
- The suspicious gatekeeper, who once punched tickets for the Sneaking-In Special, is still at his post by the industrial area gate, but he is running a new event now. In Death Safari: A Battle Against Ferocious Monsters!, paying customers get to run around the industrial area slaying as many Niblets as they can. Sounds like fun.
After taking part in the sneaking-in tour during the main quest, returning to the Industrial Area allows the player to take part in the Death Safari, where Lightning must kill 30 Niblets and collect their bounty. Niblets will spawn in groups and each one killed drops Niblet-Defeater Emblem. Niblets are not difficult to defeat, but can spawn in large groups. After collecting 30 emblems, returning to the gatekeeper completes the quest.
Death Game
- Lightning has a ticket to enter a special event run by Wedge's friend, Biggs. It is called the Death Game, and it promises to live up to its billing.
- Collect 30 Death Game points within the four-hour time limit.
- Each slain monster is worth a point.
- Contestants cannot restock items until they gain 30 points.
- Losers forfeit their Death Game points.
- To quit, examine the panel next to the entry gate.
- Difficulty: ★★★
- Requirements: Death Safari has been completed. Available between 6 AM and 2 AM.
- First Time Rewards: 3800 gil, Dragoon, Emergency Beacon, Max HP +120, Strength +12, Magic +6
- Subsequent Rewards: 5700 gil, Max HP +60, Strength +10, Magic +4
After completing Death Safari, Lightning gets a ticket to try out the Death Game. The game is played on the Warehouse District, near to where the path to the town lies. There is a time limit of four hours, and Lightning needs 30 points to win. Item replenishment is forbidden. Warehouse District will be a Chaos infusion.
As Chaos versions of opponents give good EP spoils, Lightning can keep her health up with Curaga and use Chronostasis. Each defeated enemy drops Death Game Point item and killing 30 enemies completes the quest. The enemies fought in the game are Gremlin, Anubys and Niblet.
The player can leave the quest unfinished until late in the game to preserve a location in constant Chaos infusion, to have a place to go to replenish EP if needed for teleportation, or otherwise. One can also use the quest to farm Soul Seeds.
