Navigate the treacherous Fifth Tier Part 2 in Final Fantasy XIII. Learn how to defeat Vetala, farm CP from Pulsework Gladiators, and tackle Mission 26.
Alright, you've made it to the bottom of the stairs in Fifth Tier Part 2. The boss you're facing here is Vetala. Once you've dealt with it, you'll snag a piece of Cobaltite and can also find a Librascope in the area.
Walkthrough
- 1Head down the stairs to face Vetala.
- 2After the fight, collect your Cobaltite and Librascope.
- 3CP Farming Spot: This area is fantastic for farming CP! After defeating Vetala, five Pulsework Gladiators will spawn here. To respawn them, run back up the stairs to the Fourth Tier, head to the outer walkway (but be careful to avoid the Vampire enemy), and then return. With a preemptive strike, you can defeat these five Gladiators in about 40 seconds, netting you a sweet 8,000 CP each time!
- 4Once you're done farming, continue down the corridor to the next area.
- 5You'll encounter a Menhirrim and a Tyrant. Take out the Tyrant first, as it's the bigger threat.
- 6After defeating the Tyrant, speak with the Menhirrim to accept Mission 26.
- 7Proceed to the outer ring of this area and approach another Menhirrim. A cutscene will play, showing that annoying fal'Cie blocking your path.
- 8To progress, you'll need to head back up the staircase (the one near where you fought the Pulsework Gladiators) to the sixth floor.
Tips
- The Pulsework Gladiators are a great source of CP. Make sure to get a preemptive strike to maximize your farming efficiency.
- Remember to avoid the Vampire enemy when you run back up to the Fourth Tier to respawn the Gladiators.
- Prioritize defeating the Tyrant before talking to the Menhirrim for Mission 26.
- Cobaltite
- Librascope
- Mission 26 (after speaking to the Menhirrim)
