Final Fantasy XIII-2 Walkthrough

regarding the tomato thing, do I have to start over if after getting the black hole gem and the tomato is not mutant?

having a hard time completeing map for oerba? is there a way to walk on water?

Also how to you get to the other side? there is usually a Chocobo to help but i can't find one you can ride. where treasures 14,15,16 and 21 are.

I killed the faeryl in archylte, n I have the black hole gem, but when I went back to sunleth, the frigging tomato was still royal, not mutant!  what do i do?

how do i get back to augusta in the year 200af im stuck in 300 af and completed everthing im stuck

how do u go back to augusta in 200 af im stuck plz help

Cant get to academia? Beat the giant tomato thingy and have all the fragments. Still it hasn't been unlocked. What do I do?

The weapon Sacred Cross is not "just north of the gate" its miles north of the gate, its at the opposite end of the western section of the map (where as the gate is in the furthest south-westerly position on the map).Make sure you realise this before proceeding. If you assume like i did it will be near the gate its not. youll have to go to the north of the western section first by the 3 toppled pillars marked on the map and then to the very south west  to the gate.

"the  little arm in the northwest" is actually in the north east....

You already have Beta and Gamma NOT Alpha and Gamma as stated at the top of the page. So you need alpha, delta and epsilon if you are using this guide ;)

tell me how can you have 4 paradigms for monsters when you only get a paradigm pack of 3? You have Ravager, Commando, Sentinel and Medic roles for the monsters in the table above but this is surely not possible.

first id like to say thanks for making this guide its helped me a lot. however im now a bit confused. When I went through the gate after collecting the artefact in waterscape I was given the options:

This guide helped a lot for myself and my husband. We enjoy the FF series, and he had gotten stuck in XIII-2 at Augusta 200AF the first time through, not sure where to go to use the Wild Artifact. ^^ This is a great guide.

@angel1212 - Not anymore! Thanks for the heads up.

Your Paradigm titles are all wrong on the Faeryl battle. Good editing ;)

This is turning out to be a game of little content, certainly not up to the level of FF#13. I can't recall another FF this shallow. On the positive side - IT'S FINAl FANTASY - STILL THE BEST RPG SERIES EVER.

Thanks Doc Brown...I apologize and to tell you the truth i followed your stradegy with maxing out Noel as a commando and serah as Ravager and been breezing threw the bosess like nothing. Great walkthrough

Interesting opinions Fuego...Anyway, since you asked, you get it from the Mystic in Serendipity. You can acquire it after the conclusion of Episode 5. Our fragment skills page listed under primers has the requirements for each skill.

I should have not been cheap this time around and bought the strategy guide...by the time they finish this walkthrough ill already have beaten Final Fantasy XIII-3, and be playing Final Fantasy XIII Verses

btw how do you get glide jump...ign doesnt thoroughly go through that

You think you can silence me Gamespot! this walkthrough is amateur at best. IGNs is much better! and no i do not work for IGN....TIME AND SPACE!!!!!

if you have troubles with the clock puzzles check out the on-line solver that I've made for them: http://clockpuzzle.pl/

@mkrool Check back this evening (Pacific time) for the completion of Episode 4. Episode 5 will wrap up tomorrow, with the final Episode going up on Friday.

this guide stops exactly where i have lol would love if u could put guide up bout where to go after u see caius in augusta tower and u need key 50

Hey could you add what you are putting your points into in the crystarium, You stoped letting us know what are you leveling into and what you take when the crystarium levels up for your characters after Oerba. Thanks, Otherwise great job on the guide so far, I hope you finish it soon. :)

hopefully they finish this guide, unlike the zelda: skyward sword walkthrough

why bother with this when there is split infinity's guide...

@yukinaze, yes, but not XIII.

Check back in a few hours; Updates are on the way!

damn gamespot you bozos are slow as sh*t..only up to episode 3 part one. Like an idiot i followed your walkthrough not knowing it was complete till i got to the end of yaschas massif. but then i finally came to my senses and went to IGN where they not only had a complete walkthrough, but a complete wiki on everything ffxiii-2. Step your sh*t up gameFLOP

Final Fantasy is the best!!!!! :)

yehey! thanks for the walkthrought...!!!!! :)

OH GOD, NOT ANOTHER WALKTHROUGH!!! Gamespot diddnt even finish the skyrim walkthough, and all they have to do its stupid stuff like achievements, and the parts that are done, are really awfully written. Its very disappointing.

I'd honestly rather go back and play Resonance of Fate again.

Im sure this will come in handy when I eventually pick this up. Thanks!

@Yukari_DeviL We're workin' on it :) Stay tuned for daily (often hourly) updates.

Hope this gets finished soon =)

@doc-brown thanks

@lilflex1 It will, starting later today.

@doc-brown will this walkthrough have fragment locations

@huggster666 It looks like I neglected to fill in that part...You can find the second capsule in the underground section of the ruins. The treasure sphere lies in the western tunnels connecting the middle and upper sections of the map.

I've written a guide for this game too, you guys want to read it? Here it is: Continuously press X. The end.
