Twilight Odin is considered as one of the most useful and powerful monster that can join the players’ party. Before he turns into a monster crystal, players must face and defeat him two times in two different time periods. For those who are looking for a great monster that has a Commando role; Twilight Odin will be the best bet after some light leveling.

Before players can obtain Twilight Odin, make sure that:

– Have Vile Peaks 010 AF and 200 AF unlocked in the Historia Crux
* To unlock Vile Peaks 10 AF, use a Wild Artefact on the time gate in Academia 4XX AF.
* To unlock Vile Peaks 200 AF, use a Wild Artefact on the time gate in Archylte Steppe ?? AF

VILE PEAKS 010 AF

Once you have them unlocked, make sure you start in 010AF. Talk to the Blitz Squadron that got stranded after a shadowy figure attacked their ship. Each of them will ask you to do a certain quest in regards to finding its members that got lost. Once you get to a point where it asks you for proof, go back to Historia Crux and head to 200 AF.

VILE PEAKS 200 AF

In 200 AF of Vile Peaks, you’ll meet the remaining missing squadron. Go to the area where you see Twilight Odin engulfed in Shadow. Talk to the members of the squadron team and do their quest. Once you get the proof that you need, go back to 10 AF.

VILE PEAKS 010 AF

Once you show the proof to one Blitz squadron member, he’ll then ask you to investigate the shadowy figure.

In this time period, Twilight Odin is just a replica of the original form that you will fight in 200 AF. He’s much weaker in this state. Once Odin is defeated, go back to 200 AF to fight the real Odin.

VILE PEAKS 200 AF

Go back to the are where you find the Shadowy figure that the Blitz Commander is fighting. The shadow is no longer within Odin and now you can fight his true form. This time, it’s somewhat harder as he can use Zantetsuken, which can wipe out your party. It’s recommended that you stagger him and keep on attacking. I suggest to be more aggressive in this battle.

We all know that in the Final Fantasy world, there are different kinds of Chocobo in the wild. In Final Fantasy XIII-2, there are different colored Chocobos that you can recruit, but one of the best colors that players can ever hope for in obtaining in the game is the Gold Chocobo.

In addition to using the Chocobos in battle, they can also be registered in Serendipity’s Chocobo Racing. Chocobos with the golden color have the best skills when it comes in using them for racing. However, the more they are used in racing, the more they get competitive with other Chocobos.

When it comes to using them in battle, the Gold Chocobo has the Commando role. Throughout the game, they’re one of the best monsters to use in yor party. The maximum level that they can achieve is 45 and when that happens, players will have a powerful ally in their party.

Now, here’s how you can obtain the one and only Gold Chocobo:

How to Obtain: In A Dying World of AF 700, refer to the map above and look for the arrow. Use Mog’s Mog Hunt and the treasure that reveals the Gold Chocobo will be there.

Along with the plethora monsters that players can recruit in the wild, there are a lot of hidden ones that are scattered throughout different time periods. These monsters are considered very rare and is only possible to recruit when Mog finds it!

In Final Fantasy XIII-2, there are three useful hidden monster crystals that contains a very rare monsters. Once they’re fully developed and maxed their skills, they can be a helpful ally in the party. Among of the seven monsters that are beneficial in the party is the Silver Chocobo and Chichu.

Here are the list of the monsters that are hidden within the cyrstals. Mog’s Moogle Throw is the only ability that players can use to uncover them.

Silver Chocobo

Location: Academia 4xx AF
How To: In order to get the Silver Chocobo, you must use Mog’s Moogle Throw underneath the holographic Cocoon inside the Academia Headquarter where Hope and Alyssa are. It’s recommended that you have Mog’s Manifestation Fragment Skill as it will increase the chances of getting it. Be patient when doing this as it will take a lot of tries.

Note: The Silver Chocobo will be very useful in winning Chocobo Racing in Serendipity. Max out the Crystarium chart and it will become a one useful Sentinel in the party.

Chichu

Location: Archylte Steppe
How To: South from the Nomad Camp, search for the area with red patches of flowers. Use Moogle Throw two times and you should Chichu.

Note: Chichu has a great defense when leveled up properly. The creature is pretty much 30% resistant to any attacks and is a very good party member for those who are seeking for a Commando role. Chichu can be considered as one of the strongest monster in the game in terms of both defense and offense. However, expect to spend a lot of money for gathering the required monster material to level it up.

Nanochu

Location: Archylte Steep
How To: Once you have access to the Clearwater Marshes, look for a small island (Small patches of land around the water). Keep on throwing Moogle onto that island until you get Nanochu. The probability in getting Nanochu is slim and will require about 30-50 tries depending on your luck.

Note: Nanochu is the same as Chichu when it comes in having a good defense. However, if you are seeking for a good Synergiest, Nanochu will be your best bet.

There are four more hidden crystals scattered within the game but they aren’t good enough to be considered as “useful”. But if you insist, they are Cactuarama found in the Dying World 700AF. Leyak in Sunleth Waterscape 300AF and Rangda / Cactuarina in New Bodhum 003AF.

In addition to the main time periods, there are ten hidden time periods in the Historia Crux that can only be opened when an item called the “Wild Artefact” is used.

The Wild Artefacts in the game are scattered through the different time periods. Some you will obtain automatically, while others will require Mog’s Moogle Hunt ability. For anyone who wish to explore the Historia Crux to its fullest and unlock the hidden secrets within; here are the list of the Wild Artefacts that are scattered throughout the game situs judi slot online terpercaya.

Obtaining Crystarium Points is very important in Final Fantasy XIII-2 as it will help you increase the role level of the characters in your party. There are several ways to get a good amount of CP such as collecting fragments or simply battling monsters.

For those who are near the end of the game and are looking to for an easy way to collect Crystarium Points (CP), there is an easy way to do it and you can expect to get 3000 CP per battle. However, before this can happen, you will be needing the following fragment skills; Rolling in CP (doubles your CP per battle) and Battlemania (increases the spawn rate of rare enemies).

1. With Rolling in CP and Battlemania Fragment Skill set to ON, go to Yaschas Massif AF100 / AF 110
2. Remember the area where there’s a search light?
3. Seek out for the White Behemoth (Narasimha) and take him down. Be careful as the Behemoth is a strong enemy. Make sure you’re prepared.
4. Once done, you can get 3000-4000CP.

In addition to the true ending of Final Fantasy XIII-2, there are eight alternate endings referred to as “Paradox Endings”. These eight endings can only be triggered by doing certain tasks in the worlds.

Through the numerous time vortexes that you will venture inside, there will be a point in time that players will need to do something in order to trigger a paradox ending. By triggering a paradox ending, it doesn’t simply end the game. With the time traveling that Square Enix implemented in the game, they made FFXIII-2 pretty much endless as things change from one time to another.

Fate and Freedom

How to Unlock: When you arrive on the New Bodhum in the year AF00X, you’ll trigger a series of Live Trigger events with the four NORA members. After talking to them, they’ll ask you to visit the NORA house. Inside, trigger a cutscene involving Snow. Go outside and everybody will be gone to the beach area. From the NORA house, head south and you’ll find Lightning. She’ll ask you if you want to be with her; say YES and you’ll unlock the first paradox ending that won’t require you to finish the game.
Requirements: None

A Giant Mistake

How to Unlock: Remember how you have to weaken Atlas in order to beat him in New Bodhum 005 AF? Well, once you have the Time Gate Seal, close the gate in New Bodhum 005 AF to reset the events. Now, instead of weakening him first in order to take him down, fight him straight on. Once defeated, you will unlock the Paradox Ending.
Requirements: “Scars” Gate Seal, Character’s HP to at least 4000 as he’s super strong.

Beneath a Timeless Sky

How to Unlock: Once you complete the game and obtain the Paradox Scope fragment skill, close the time gate of Academia 4XXF and replay through the area until you reach the end of the Void Beyond. In the Void Beyond, turn on the Paradox Scope and fight Caius once again in his much stronger persona. I would suggest that you should have at least 5000 HP for all the characters in the party. When he’s defeated, a New Bodhum XXXAF timeline will be revealed in Historia Crux.
Requirements: Paradox Scope, Serah’s HP to 4000 to survive

Heir to Chaos

How to Unlock: Assuming you finished the game and have the Paradox Scope, head to Academia 4XXF (with the Paradox Scope turned OFF) and replay through the area until you reach New Bodhum, then onto the Dying World 700 AF. When Noel is in his dreamworld, turn the Paradox Scope ON and fight Caius. Similar to the “Beneath a Timeless Sky” paradox ending, Caius is much stronger. I suggest for Noel to have at least 5000 HP in order to survive the battle. Once he’s down, Dying World XXXAF will be revealed in the Historia Crux.
Requirements: Paradox Scope, Noel’s HP to 5000 to survive.

Mischievous Mog’s Marvelous Plan With Flan

How to Unlock: Similar to “A Giant Mistake” paradox ending, you will need to defeat the big red flan in Sunleth Waterscape 300AF (close the time gate in order to reset the events). The Royal Ripeness is easy to defeat when you have both characters in a HP of 3000 or more. Since he deals a status damage to the party, make sure you have a reliable healer in your party that can both cast Esuna and Curaja.
Requirements: Time Gate Seal

Test Subjects

How to Unlock: Replay Augusta Tower 200AF with the Paradox Scope set to ON. Go through all the way to the top and fight Proto fal’Cie Adam. Compared to its previous form without the Paradox Scope, he’s much more stronger so prepare for a good fight.
Requirements: Paradox Scope

The Future is Hope

How to Unlock: With the Paradox Scope set to ON, close the time gate in Academia 4XXF. When you give the Graviton Cores to Alyssa, she’ll hand you the Vagabond Artefact. Refuse her offer then the Paradox Ending will begin.
Requirements: Paradox Scope

Vanille’s Truth

How to Unlock: Once you have the Paradox Scope, set the fragment skill ON and head to Oerba 200 AF with its time gate closed to reset the events. Your goal is to reach the Deserted School House where you fought Caius and saw Yeul. Fight the stronger version of Caius and take him down. When he’s defeated, Oerba XXXF will be unlocked and you can watch the Paradox Ending. At this fight, I would recommend for you to have at least 3000HP.
Requirements: Paradox Scope
