    This place is amazing to see but I'm not sure what to kill here.

    My guys aren't that developed enough to kill a behemoth quickly before it goes bayformer on me. I'm on the 4k~6k stage right now.

    Had the same issue. It doesn't help that when you zone in for the first time, the first things you see are 2 behemoths, and a couple of wolves.

    The wolf-like monsters are easy as fuck; I'd recommend starting there. Also there are these little penguin-like monsters that net about 2000~3000 CP each time, and battles don't last more than a minute depending on your set up. Takes me 30 seconds, and those are what I've been grinding on for the past several hours now.

    To get lots of CP quickly just after you enter Gran Pulse, I found out that if you follow the story marker into Mah'Habara you can farm the enemies by the entrance there, I was getting around 20k CP every 5-10 minutes, it got to the point where travel time was longer than the actual fights, the enemies respawn pretty quick too.

    Wolfs give 1320CP for me and I tried to do the pengiuns but one summoned a Behemoth and all hell broke loose or are you talking about a different, easier, set of those things?

    I have run out of all my shrouds. At some point will they become available at the shops?

    I'm also on the 3rd mark which I accidentally dropped for a teleport mark in some mountains. The marks is all the way on the other side of the mountains and I keep getting killed by some huge tomato type puddings. Anyone know of an easy way to dispatch of these monsters?

    Uhh... those penguins never summoned a Behemoth on me rofl, but they do like to summon wyvern.

    Yeah the wolves don't give good exp my bad.

    Also as soon as you get chocobo access, go dig for gold nuggets. Things make you rich.

    If I remember right, their problem attack is a massive Waterga. I just buffed with Hope and could survive that np.

    No idea other than once you beat the game it puts you back on Gran Pulse. I'm not to the Waypoint part though, so I can't say anything more than that, sorry.

    You have to clear the missions associated with the specific teleport stones to unlock the ability to teleport between them. If you missed/skipped them yeah you gotta run back. Sucks to be you

    Do you know which mission links up with the way point in the tower? I just got to the Springs and might turn back if I missed it.

    The way point isn't actually IN the tower, it's on the way to it.

    I want to know, what are chocobo feathers for?

    They're just organic components. Burn them on upgrades if you want.

    Question for the people towards the end on chapter 11. / Pulse
    Spoiler: show
    Doing the Pakti quest, and I don't know if i'm just to sleepy or what but I can't seem to find the last part for the robot. I've got the Aspheric lens, Metal Plate, Power Cable and the Battery Pack. I don't want to walk towards the ship at the pier for fear it triggers a CS and im forced off Pulse. I don't want to leave pulse, but I want the 500k in sell-ables the quest nets.

    Sorry if this has been answered. Didn't see it. I'm on Chapter 11 now, Gran Pulse and just gaining CP like a mofo til I continue on. I assume SOME grinding is necessary to proceed and not have a hard time with what's to come. My question is how much? Also; Once I leave Chapter 11, Can I come back to GP after that? Or are you stuck until you beat the game? Thanks!
