6 frags left for me i think.

bestiary, yomi, and the 4 bought ones in Serendipity

yomi felt a bit hard for me but i was trying him the brute force way. wind shear keeps killing my pet and then it gets messy.

order of the day will be to kill monsters for bestiary entry, getting CP and gil on the side, and then clearing everything lol.

fragments are easy to get i think.. its the trophies that require some work

Yeah I just finished killing yomi, and I've got like 12 frags left I think. Yomi really took a toll on me, I was hoping to do more tonight but i'm not feeling up for it. I've been sick all weekend, fucking strep throat.

I'm not looking forward to redoing Academia 500AF. That dungeon is so annoying.

Got so much done today, to point where I only need 3 more trophies now. I Just did last boss again for secret ending, so that's out of the way.

Trophies I have left to get now are Chocobo steps, 100 Feral Links (Dunno how I'm still missing this), and the 100 Preemp strikes in a row. I'm hoping I'm close to 100 Feral Links, wish there was a way to tell but oh well, I'll just equip the increase feral link gauge accessory and keep doing battles til I get it. I'm pretty tired now, so dunno if wanna finish these last trophies tonight or tomorrow, most likely tomorrow.

HNNNGGG

Also does anyone else find the HC kinda annoying to use after unlocking a fuckload of areas? I can't seem to find the places I need lol. I guess I can change the view though.

**Tobi** · 2012-02-12 02:18

The only thing that annoys me is the long ass load times when changing areas, it takes forever to load jumping areas from Historia Crux

**miokomioko** · 2012-02-12 02:25

I hope it's at least another combo battle, maybe Jihl paired up with Yaag.

This is not working for me. The girl in question just talks about her old boss. She gives me no item and flags no quest... (I have phased in the amnesiac guy, who still doesn't know who he is.)

**Enygma55** · 2012-02-12 04:21

She's actually part of a larger chain of quests. It involves a Bresha ruins questline (I think the grassy area one) requiring 2 passwords to access the Atlas device. Try doing that fragment questline first then talk to the girl in the tent.

**Burningthought** · 2012-02-12 05:08

Btw, if anyone is having trouble with Caius vs. Serah Paradox Scope mode check out the video in the spoiler.

Spoiler: show

It might seem like circlejerking, but after an hour of multiple fails, I tried out this strat and it worked the first try.

zomg this would be awesome. the battle with Jihl that was never happened. i remember tricking my friend into believing we'd fight Jihl in XIII. she was so disappointed when Dysley 1-shotted her.

@Burningthought. i felt the change view helped alot for jumping between different times of the same area

Ah, OK, thanks~ I thought only the other quest that was asked about was tied to Bresha 100.

I must say I'm a little disappointed in something though. I noticed everything (so far) is AF. When I understood the game was centered on time-travel, I was really expecting/hoping that there would be a few "BF" parts that occurred before Cocoon fell where you would spot the old XIII posse running through and possibly even be the cause/catalyst for a thing or two they encountered. For example, maybe Noel/Serah irrationally attacked the airship that was targeting Hope/Snow on the top of the building in Palumpolum, making it barely miss them...

...or would the concept of not being able to actually change the past (because you affecting the past with your actions needs to allow you to eventually come to the past to do them to make any sense) contradict with what Noel/Serah are doing in this storyline?

What S-E excuse is that you can only travel AF because Lightning disappearance at that moment was the first Paradox, which led to the gates appearing after it.

**miokomioko** · 2012-02-12 07:08

Oh yeah, lol. I guess I herp'd when I should have derp'd.

Still, I was definitely hoping to show up during the purge or something. Woulda' been neat. Ohhhh wellllls~

I wonder if she's going to get OHKO'd by a single Ruin spell.

**Tyrath** · 2012-02-12 10:32

So I haven't done any infusion at all. What are some must have infusion monsters I should keep an eye out for?

**Mugmug** · 2012-02-12 11:25

I have every Fragment now except the Serendipity ones.

I haven't touched Chocobo racing yet... Any tips/guides I should read before I jump into it? I have the Silver Chocobo which I heard is the best?

**Spira** · 2012-02-12 11:28

depends on what role you're looking at.
if you're gonna level a MED that isn't Flanitor, then Flanitor is a good source of Esuna/Esunada.

now sitting on 159/160, with only bestiary to clear. Lucky coin came surprisingly fast XD, like less than 3 minutes of me setting the controller to auto-play.
going by the amount of effort/time it'll take to make good monsters, i decided to just do 1 COM, RAV, MED and SEN because those were the ones i'd be using all this while. now I'm mostly COM MED SEN tbh.
SYN and SAB pets have their benefits but i've personally not required the use of pet SYN SAB for any of my fights, and i never used SYN at all in the entire game.
that said, its really a matter of playstyle.. i've come to find that Feral Link buffs are sufficient for me.. and I value feral links a lot more than the monsters themselves.

the 4 pets i'm gonna work on..
Chichu (COM) - for obvious reasons
Cloudburst (RAV) - for main damage/chain rav, and also Friendly Fire <- secondary pet
Goblin Chieftain (SEN) - I love monster SENs, but really, most of them can do the job so long as they have the HP for it. All SEN abilities can be infused over, so you can pretty much make any SEN an ultimate one. I particularly like this one a lot because of Spirit Infusion, which removes the need for a SYN. This one gives uh.. Bravery/Faith/Shell/Protect if im not wrong. its funny how i don't pay attention like that.
Flanitor (MED) - I've decided i'm ok with Flanitor being a slow healer because it has Hyper Rescue, which is infinitely faster than the fastest healers. It'll also do way more than Curaja does anyway, and is great in a pinch.

leveling them has been pretty easy, but its the infusion that'll take a lot of effort. gotta level out the HP+36% monsters, as well as physical/magic damage -% monsters to help make them hardier, especially SEN and MED.

**Ratatapa** · 2012-02-12 11:52

Well currently spamming the casino on auto press for the Trophy + the fragment but i<m close to 160 frags I'm 158 on 160 need to finish the bestiary

Following the guide and theres a mob that even the guide is not 100% sure so i<m asking for your personal test with it

The Metalgigancactuar that is in the Archylte steppe Guide says sunny or rain with a ?? what weather were you guys able to pop it and in which section of the map??

I got the Fragment skill to get tougher monster and more monster pop if that can help.

After that it<s time for choco running for the trophy lol
