Navigate the Lower Traverse in Final Fantasy XIII. Learn enemy weaknesses, find treasure like the Saint's Amulet and Rainbow Anklet, and discover CP farming spots.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After passing through the corridor, you will reach a set of stairs where a group of Noctilucale wait at the bottom. These are vulnerable to both Fire and Ice. Use area of effect attacks to defeat them.
  2. 2
    In the central area, a trio of neon green Phosphoric Ooze will appear. They are weak to Fire. They can combine to create an Alchemic Ooze. Use Libra on the Alchemic Ooze for enemy intel.
  3. 3
    After killing the Phosphoric Ooze, run back (away from the marker) to reach another group of enemies guarding a treasure containing a Saint’s Amulet.
  4. 4
    Follow the marker, killing a giant group of Noctilucale and a mixed group of Phosphoric Ooze and Noctilucale.
  5. 5
    At the path split, choose the right-hand path first. Jump up the debris and follow the track to a dead end. Defeat the mass of Noctilucale and open the Treasure Sphere for 10x Medicinal Oil.
  6. 6
    Return to the split and take the left path. Four Phosphoric Ooze will appear; defeat them.
  7. 7
    Head forward, jumping over more debris. When you reach the split near the Save Station, turn around to the dead end at the back and collect the Rainbow Anklet.
  8. 8
    Head to the Save Station.
Tips
  • Noctilucale are vulnerable to Fire and Ice.
  • Phosphoric Ooze are vulnerable to Fire.
  • Wait for the Oozes to merge to form the Alchemic Ooze and use Libra to receive the enemy intel. This is a missable enemy alert.
  • This is a good spot to max out your character’s primary roles in the Crystarium. By returning back and jumping down the four platforms, you’ll cause the Noctilucales to respawn. It’s fairly easy to secure a preemptive strike against them, and they offer up 640 CP upon defeat.
