Conquer the Death Game quest in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII! Learn strategies for earning Gil and EP, defeating enemies, and utilizing Chronostasis.

Alright, let's talk about the Death Game quest in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. This one's a great way to farm Gil and EP, so I recommend saving it for the tail end of Day 12. That way, you can keep at it as long as you need to rack up those resources.

Walkthrough
  1. 1

    Where: Warehouse District.

    What to do: Your goal is to earn 30 Death Game Points. You get one point for each enemy you defeat. You'll primarily be fighting Gremlins, but if they're all gone, you'll end up fighting Anubys repeatedly.

    Why this way: You have a 4-hour time limit, but honestly, it's not much of a concern.

  2. 2

    Where: Anywhere on the battlefield.

    What to do: Keep an eye out for Chaos Infusions. These events flood the battlefield and allow you to collect Soul Seeds. Plus, you'll get at least 1 EP for every battle you complete.

    Why this way: The EP you earn is crucial for making the time limit irrelevant.

  3. 3

    Where: Anywhere on the battlefield.

    What to do: Activate Chronostasis. With the massive amounts of EP you'll be earning from defeating enemies and collecting Soul Seeds, you can maintain a permanent Chronostasis effect. This essentially makes the 4-hour time limit a non-issue.

    Why this way: Chronostasis slows down time, giving you ample opportunity to defeat the required 30 enemies without feeling rushed.

  4. 4

    Where: Anywhere on the battlefield.

    What to do: Just keep attacking enemies until you reach 30 kills. It's pretty straightforward once you've got Chronostasis running.

    Why this way: This is the direct path to completing the quest objective.

Tips
  • Seriously, abuse Chronostasis. The EP you gain from this quest is huge, and it makes the time limit a joke. 4 hours is nothing when time is practically stopped.
  • Don't stress about the time limit; focus on chaining kills and collecting those Soul Seeds.
  • This quest is an excellent farming spot for both Gil and EP, so don't hesitate to repeat it if you need more resources.
  • Gil Obtained: 3800
  • Item(s) Obtained: Emergency Beacon, Dragoon Garb
  • Stats Boosts: HP +120, Strength +12, Magic +6
