      OO  | 5) Tips and Tricks |  OO

    To make sure you find every treasure, check all paths, even the dead end

      ones, check behind you when you reach a new area and don't be afraid tostray a little of the beaten path

    The game has a very useful datalog that gives you information and tips on  how certain things work. Be sure to check it every once in a while to make  sure you are up to date.

    All members, including the once not participating in battle get the same  amount of CP after battle. Therefore you don't have to worry about  characters getting left behind. Fill out the CS for members not  participating in battle as well, because you never know when suddenly the  party is changed and you find yourself with a party that is not leveled up  properly.

    Pressing L1/LB during encounters will open the Enemy Intel and shows the  information for the enemies you are facing at the time. Use this often to  see the weaknesses for the enemies. Using Libra will fill out the ? faster  than just attacking and defeating the enemies does.

    After the opening movie, a battle starts. During this, you can view a tutorialon Active Time Battle. Your choice if you want to see it or not.Battle explanations can also be found in this FAQ.--------------------[-] Manasvin Warmech--------------------

  • 8/9/2019 FFXIII Walkthrough

    7/344

    The Manasvin Warmech, as this enemy is called, is not that hard of a battle.So just attack it all the time and heal with potions if HP drops below 100.You need to fight this enemy twice but if you just keep your HP above 100you should be fine and thus along with 6 potions, should get your firstTrophy/Achievement with ease. And since characters are healed after eachbattle, you start the second fight with a full HP bar.

    After the fight, you'll get the chance to change the camera settings. No needto worry if you accidentally select the wrong option, you can always change itto whatever you want in the settings menu at the bottom of the main menu.You'll also get an explanation about Datalog, basically its an option in themenu that allows you to view the story, certain tutorials and game info.It also contains the Enemy Intel.

    You now control Lightning, the main character of the game. Use the left stickto walk or run towards the yellow arrow and on the left you will find the firstsave station in the game. At this point, you can only buy potions and phoenixdown but they are costly and you wont really need them as the game providesyou with enough to last for a while.Keep running and you'll get another tutorial, about Enemy Encounters

    At the top right of the screen is this mini map, use this whenever you feellost. The yellow arrow points in the direction where you should go. It alsoshows blue dots which indicate friendly people or party members, and the red

    dots indicate enemies. The Save Station also has its specific icon as dotreasures, but you won't see them until you've actually opened them. Tothe bigger version of this map, select Map in the main menu.--------------------[-] PSICOM Warden x2--------------------Again a pretty easy battle. You'll probably end up with a 5 star battle rank alot in this area, but don't worry if you don't. Besides better items it doesn'tadd much to the game just yet.

    You'll see a blue circle thing on the left, but you can't do anything with it,it is some kind of a portal for the soldiers. A little further ahead you'll seea blue circle on the ground. This indicates that you can jump up or down to the

    next area. You don't have to press any buttons, so just walk up to the circleand keep going.-------------------------------------[-] PSICOM Warden x2[-] PSICOM Warden, PSICOM Enforcer x2-------------------------------------Treasure: Potion.

    Treasure: Iron BangleThis gives you HP+50, so I suggest giving it to Lightning as she hasthe lowest HP. Plus, she is the leader of the party, and if the leader dies,it's game over. And you don't want that.

    Continue on and take the stairs down to the road. Zigzag your way throughthe obstacles and take the stairs up again on the left. Watch the scenery belowand then on you go. Jump down at the end and go right.

Its thebottom option in the commands menu at the bottom left of the battle screen. Ifyou choose to follow the tutorial, you will be forced to use up one of yourpotions as an example.

    Keep following the road.

    -------------------------------[-] PSICOM Warden, Pantheron x3-------------------------------Go up the stairs to find a save station and if you jump down on the other sideyou'll find a switch that takes you to the next area. Keep walking straightinto another movie.

Defeat them al, with punches and thetreasures will contain the best items.The first two waves are very easy as you have 3 chances each.The last one is the tricky part. When you jump down, chase the enemies towardsthe right side until they are grouped around you, then sweep once. Then waituntil the others are in a good position and sweep again. On the bridge, movetowards them and wait until they can't move any further. Then sweep them allout. Don't worry if after 20 times trying you still can't get it. It will onlylead to more Gil and there is no trophy or achievement for this.

Then use a RAV/MED switching to RAV/RAVuntil the bar is filled up. The bar fills up when you chain attacks, soRAV/RAV will get it up faster than RAV/MED.It may be better sometimes to keep RAV/RAV and use Potions to keep the HP up.Especially if you spent some time gathering CP.

    After the battle Lightning gets another ATB slot. And you may want to changeyour Accessory. You can walk back to save the game before you cross the bridge.------------------------------[61] Uhlan x2 PSICOM Ranger x3------------------------------In this fight you get the Odin Driving Mode Tutorial.

    Stagger quickly. Do this by beginning with RAV/COM, to get the bar up.Then change to MED/COM when HP gets too low. When the counter hits around 110%switch to RAV/RAV and stay that way until the enemy is in stagger.Then go for a SAB/RAV to give him deprotect and deshell.
