Mission 28: Faded Glory

Guide to Mission 28: Faded Glory in Final Fantasy XIII. Learn enemy weaknesses, strategy, and rewards for this challenging C-class Cie'th Stone mission in Oerba.

Alright, let's tackle Mission 28, "Faded Glory." This one's a bit of a trek, but totally doable. You'll be heading to Oerba Village Proper to find the Cie'th Stone. Don't worry, it's not too far from a Waystone, which is super convenient.

Mission Details:

Location:

You'll find the Waystone for this mission on a corner in Oerba’s Village Proper. It's actually the last Waystone you'll encounter in the chapter's main story, so make sure you don't miss it! The actual mark, where you'll fight the enemies, is also right there in Oerba Village Proper, not too far from the Waystone itself. Easy peasy for travel!

Strategy:

The main challenge here is the sheer number of enemies: nine Ceratosaurs. They're not the toughest foes individually, but nine of them can overwhelm you quickly. Luckily, they have a couple of key weaknesses: they're weak to both Fire and Earth attacks. Make sure you have those spells equipped!

Staggering them can be a little tricky, so focus on dealing consistent damage. Since there are so many of them, spells and abilities that hit a wide area are your best bet. Think area-of-effect (AoE) attacks that can damage multiple Ceratosaurs at once. This will help you thin out their numbers much faster than trying to take them down one by one.

• Initial Reward: Giant’s Glove
• Repeat Reward: Bomb Shell x5

So, gear up, exploit those elemental weaknesses, and use your AoE skills. You'll have this mission cleared in no time!
