You should have at least 25 to 30 quests completed by this point in order to make the next set of battles more manageable. Follow the location marker on the map as you make your way to Poltae. Make your way to the location marker to the west to initiate a cut-scene. After the cinematic, use the chocobo to glide over the rocks to the north and make your way onto the roof. Jump to the adjacent rooftop and over to the rock platform, then glide over to the next platform for another cut-scene.
Head southeast to find an item sphere that contains aBegga's Beads accessory, then head back and climb up the ladder. Continue over the bridge and up the stairs for another cinematic.
After the cut-scene, you can find an item sphere to the north, which contains the Ruinga Level 2 spell. Head up the slope to the west, then follow the hallway until you're interrupted by another cut-scene. Use the platforms to reach the top level, then continue northwest until you reach the second Yeul. Quickly make your way up to the balcony, then drop down to the lower level and examine the plaque to begin the Goddess Glyphs side quest. Head back and continue through the northwest doorway, then speak to Yeul on the west side when you reach the middle level of War's Cage.
Head up the ramp and through the opening, then take a right and speak to the next Yeul. If you're feeling good about your platforming skills, move back outside and drop down to the lower platform to find an item sphere that contains Blizzaga Level 2. Speak with Yeul again to get back to the upper level and jump over to the balcony to the top. Continue through the doorway and examine the item sphere, which contains a Prophecy of Rebirth with information on the upcoming boss battle.
Head into the next room and take down the Aster Protoflorian, then climb up the debry to speak with Yeul again. Head up to the balcony and down the hallway to initiate another cinematic.
Use the platforms to cross the room and examine the item sphere to the right to obtainThundaga Level 2. Head back up and through the hallways to reach the highest level of War's Cage. Examine the plaque to the northwest, then head up the path to the right and speak to the next Yeul. If you're confident in your platforming skills, there are two item spheres to the south. Return to Yeul, then head up the platforms.
If you have EP to spare, use Chronostasis to stop time and reach the item sphere containing Aeroga Level 2 before the platform disappears.
If you're fast, you don't need to use Chronostasis, but if you have EP to spare, it's the easiest way to gain access to the item sphere. Move through the hallway and speak with the next Yeul. The three platforms that spawn do not linger very long, so you must be quick if you want to avoid falling. When you reach the Reaver enemy, engage it and see how well you do. If you have trouble taking it down, you probably need to complete more side quests before you can beat the final boss.
If the battle isn't all that difficult for you, Lightning is ready for the final battle. Keep me logged in on this device Forgot your username or password? Don't have an account? Sign up for free! What do you need help on?

User Info: Insomaniac User Info: ayaloren. Illusion of choice. Commitment issues? I won't even open emails if they come with attachments. User Info: Maurith. Nope, you get the exact same scene no matter what you choose. Finished all main quests by Day 4 failed one side quest , didn't use any guide or walkthrough.
Not sure why people keep mentioning Caius as the hardest boss main quest not optional that should be left for later days. He was in his Commando stance, I killed him with magic but I had to revive once from his megaflare.
I have no idea how either system works, and I just keep mixing stuff together randomly. Last edited by RetriButioN ; 29 Dec, am. Showing 16 - 27 of 27 comments. I finished all of the main story quests on Day 5 even turning off the DLC, using only what I assumed were the previous game rewards and bypassing the two Garbs. Now I have come to learn that you can upgrade weapons and garb apparently I did find Caius a heavy hitting battle and probably the most challenging one I bumped into thus far, though if I had some higher damage output and more than LV1 or 2 abilities I hadn't unlocked leveling up yet Also I'm fairly surprised about people thinking Overclocking is OP or even very useful.
I just found it to be a waste of EP and wish I could unmap it from battle since anytime it goes off now is when I forget what L2 does and hit it thinking it is Libra. However I wouldn't recommend spamming Chrono as hard as I did. Now I feel like I'm roaming through empty ghost areas that are incrementally unlocking side quests and passable upgrades as I wipe out easy enemies repeatedly. It's cool to learn there is a hard mode though. As it is I'm also surprised to also learn that items seem to cost lots later.
I've been floating at k gil and ended up putting on the Beggar's item to farm abilities since I assumed cash was practically worthless In extra loops, you can also upgrade accessories by finding them again. But only head accessories, not ring accessories. Just thought I'd clear that up.
You went a bit overboard, to be sure, but nominal use of it is to be expected. Serah and Noel chase after Caius into the sky on an airship and defeat him as Chaos Bahamut. Caius returns to human form and threatens that if Serah continues to change the future, she will experience the same visions as Yeul and die.
He is impressed when Serah reveals she knows, but is still determined to continue. When Noel blocks his attack on Serah, Caius deems he would have made a worthy Guardian, and says everything he ever did was for Yeul. Believing the Yeuls being born only to die young is meaningless and cruel, Caius reaffirms he will stop at nothing to free them, even if reality itself must be destroyed to achieve it. Caius transforms into Chaos Bahamut and flies into a wormhole that opens in the sky.
Noel and Serah follow Caius into the wormhole and emerge in Valhalla where Caius confronts them on the beach. Noel attempts to convince Caius that Yeul willed to be reborn to see him again, but Caius refuses to listen and uses the chaos of Valhalla to transform into Jet Bahamut.
He sends Noel and Serah falling into a bottomless abyss beneath Valhalla's waves of chaos. The two are saved by Lightning, who spirits them to the battlefield where the two defeat Jet Bahamut, along with his supporters, Garnet Bahamut and Amber Bahamut. Having lost the final battle, a weakened Caius returns to human form. He tells Noel that if it is his fault Yeul keeps being reborn, he must be killed for her sake. He claims he had killed Lightning, and provokes Noel by attacking Serah.
Noel disarms Caius and lunges at him with his sword, but stops at the last second. Caius seizes Noel's blade and forces it through his chest to destroy the Heart of Chaos, then collapses and fades away. Though the Heart of Chaos was destroyed, Caius has obtained a new form of immortality as he became one with the chaos itself since the many incarnations of Yeul desire his continued existence.
As elaborated in Final Fantasy XIII-2 Ultimania Omega , he intended to destroy the world in a way that would minimize any temporal effects; Caius knew the world would end at AF anyway, and wanted to save Yeul's suffering by destroying the world sooner. Telling Yeul they are free of their respective curses and can begin anew in a world without Etro, Caius releases the chaos to commence the end of time. Able to appear at the beckoning of the Chaos Yeuls, as seen when he attacked Serah in the Void Beyond, Caius is summoned to fight Lightning when she attempts to rescue Serah's soul.
Though defeated, Caius's existence continues as the boundaries between the mortal and unseen realm mingle. In this dying world, nothing is more precious than time.
Why do you waste it on me? Does my victory still sting? Do you seek vindication? After Noel destroyed the Heart of Chaos within Caius, Etro died and the boundary between the mortal and unseen worlds was destroyed.
For the next years Caius resides in what remains of Etro's temple in the Wildlands from where the Chaos has been flowing. With the various incarnations of Yeul as his only company, Caius suffers due to his new existence as a personification of the Chaos he unleashed upon the world. Lightning has become the savior of souls tasked with releasing people from their burdens before the oncoming end of the world.
She encounters Caius in the temple where he tells her no one there seeks her salvation. He infects her with Chaos and drops her to the temple's lowest level. Lightning is surprised he is not dead, and Caius explains "they" are keeping him alive, doomed to haunt the temple's halls as it has become a shrine to Chaos.
He disappears and Lightning pursues him deeper into the ruins, assisted by the many incarnations of Yeul Caius had protected throughout the centuries. Lightning confronts Caius in the throne room, where he tells her not to waste her time on him, and asks if she seeks revenge for suffering defeat at his hand centuries ago.
Lightning insists on trying because it's what Yeul wants, and believes that freeing him would bring the Chaos under control. Caius challenges her to take his soul by force. Once defeated, Caius impales himself and shows her he is beyond salvation. He explains Yeul is the unseen Chaos who has bound him to the dying world as her incarnations are not of one mind: some desire his prolonged suffering to end, while others wish him to remain by their side.
He says that there is no place for Yeul in the new world that the god Bhunivelze is creating, and they must remain behind when Nova Chrysalia is destroyed. Caius reveals he is nothing but an empty husk and intends to become a shepherd of the souls wandering in the Chaos. When Lightning asks if it is how he plans to atone for bringing about the end of the world, Caius demands that she leave and disappears. Lightning turns against Bhunivelze when she learns of his true plan to make humanity but emotionless drones in an effort to create a "perfect" world.
Lightning rallies the souls of humanity to strike him down, and moments after Bhunivelze's defeat, Caius appears to Lightning and her friends alongside the many incarnations of Yeul. Caius says the living don't need a god but the dead require one, and the Yeuls declare their intent to take Etro's place to maintain the flow of life and the balance between the new world and the new unseen realm.
Grabbing Noel when he protests the Yeuls' decision, Caius asks if he would be willing to take Yeul's place. In a final act of redemption upon finding Noel's answer satisfactory, Caius lets the final incarnation of Yeul depart with Noel to the new world and asks Noel to keep her safe, while he remains with the other Yeuls in the unseen realm.
A reporter named Aoede interviews Noel and Yeul during her investigation on people who remember the "other world. Noel mentions that Aoede might meet him should she be on the verge of death. Sometime later, while a war correspondent, Aoede blacks out during a missile attack and finds herself walking in line with a number of other people heading to a sea being watched over by Caius. Believing she has died, Aoede grieves how the free will Lightning and her allies fought for mankind has only made the new world full of hate.
Giving Aoede the choice of rebirth or eternal rest, Caius explains that in her world humans decide their own fate, and that she can choose to change the world. Aoede hears Yeul's voice asking that Caius reveal the reporter is still alive, as she is led back to the land of the living by Mog.
Even in his human form, Caius can cast powerful magic and use chaos to suit his needs.
