steponit Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) Hey, I found a few threads here that helped me a lot, but I found I needed to do a lot of searching to get some of the answers since i didn't know what excactly to look for, so i decided to put them together here for new people looking for help.

Start out as Sab/Syn/Syn (vanille/hope/fang in my case) and start casting death while the other 2 buff you, using sab/sab/sab at start is silly because the other two will be debuffing the legs. you should be able to survive 1~2 stomps and get 4 to 5 deaths off. summon, switch to sab/sab/sab so curse gets on adamantoise asap, switch to sab/syn/sab when your haste starts to wear off. i use rav/rav/com to get some TP from the nearby mobs, using the equipment explained in the "Eden, chapter 12" link. rince and repeat. this is nothing new, but it does help you get a bunch more death casts off before you have to (if you're unlucky) retry the fight. * Long Gui (Dark Matter): - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=216156 * long gui strategy + genji gloves dismantling discussion: - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=221214 * normal + summon strategy: - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=221214 ** Leveling ** * Leveling spots and must-get items: - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=215306 * Leveling from chapter 11 onwards: - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=219319 * FFXIII Advanced Strategies, Cp and Money Earning, Items, etc: - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=215029 ** Archylte Steppe (chapter 11 area) ** * Chocobo, digging and chocobo jump locations: - http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/file/928790/58966 * Chocobo, item (some of those easy to miss charms) and mission locations: - http://ff-13.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aruka.png ** L'Cie Missions ** * Starting location, Fight location and drops: - http://twobrothersandasister.com/?p=6455 (also has links to very good 5-star youtube videos) - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=216825 that's about all the tabs i had open at the moment, post some more pages you know if you feel they're useful Edited April 15, 2010 by steponit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyBoyBob Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hey guys, i was getting really pissed off that i couldnt manage to 5 star even mission 1 (3 star normally, 4 star with sprint shoes) whilst following the 5 star guide linked in the encyclopedia. So after a little look through the forums, someone else had the same issue and was linked a pretty handy guide. http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/928790-final-fantasy-xiii/faqs/60472 This link explains the time penalties per item, so if you go in with all tier 3 weaps + power gloves etc, youre gonna be hurting to hit the 5 star mark. So, if youre like me thinking "why the fook cant i get 5 stars on such an easy mission" ... this is why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
