Walkthrough - Chapter V | Walkthrough Final Fantasy XIII Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

This time we will be playing as a Hope [1]. Run straight ahead and after the save point you will meet some new enemies - Frag Leech [2].

These maggots are very weak so the fight shouldn't last for too long. Go straight ahead and kill every opponent. Use the elevator located at the end of the path [2]. Save the game and focus on dealing with other enemies.

After a long journey, you will get to the first crossroads [1]. Turn left and you will have to fight with Behemoth Alpha. He is guarding a chest with 3x Antidote. Now you can take the second path and use another elevator [2].

Go down and defeat another enemies. You will see two Vespids [1] on the right. They are guarding the chest with new weapon for Hope - Hawkey. The rest of your journey is really simple. After killing another Behemoth you will get to the next elevator and save point. The lowest level is quite different [2].

You may find here some new enemies called Silver Lobo [1]. To get across the power field you have to kill all of them.

After few battles you will get to the big chamber with a chest guarder by some worms. Blitz and Fira should be enough to deal with them and you will get 6x Antidote [1]. Now you have to take two more fights. After them you will be able to take care of Feral Behemoth [2].

As always while fighting with stronger enemy - the best option is to start with Libra. You will learn that your enemy is weak against water attacks. Use your ability called Water. A very good idea is to use some Synergist defensive spell and stagger the enemy with Ravagers. But remember to attack only when you have 100% HP, because you opponent has a very powerful attack that will take 90% of your health. After the fight use these shiny plants to get upstairs [1]. Here you have to exterminate another group of worms [2]. Preemptive attack will be useful here.

After the fight you will see a short cut scene and then you will take control over Lightning. Go down and save the game.

After few meters you will get to the first crossroads. Go right where two monsters are defending the chest with Star Pendant [2]. Take it and take the left path.

Here, you will meet another group of enemies, but they are very easy. On the upper platform, you will see another movie. When it will end, go straight ahead until you will get to the next enemies. One of them - Barbed Specter - will be guarding the chest with a sword for Lightning called Edged Carbine. After few battles next Feral Behemoth will attack you. Kill him, save the game and go to the next crossroads.

The main path is leading left, but on the right you will find a Feral Behemotha [1] with some guards. They are defending the Fragrant Oil [2]. It is worth fighting. The best paradigm here will be War & Peace. As a Lightning use Blitz to kill all adds and Hope will take care of healing. After the battle return to your main path.

Before you will go further, turn round and get close to the barrier [1]. You will find another enemy that is defending a chest [2]. Kill him and you will get 1500 gils. Now you can go further.

After a short fight turn left. At the end of the road you will a guarded chest. Kill all creatures, take Watchman's Amulet [1] and use plants to get to another level [2].

Go to the next elevator [1]. After saving your game you will have to fight with another opponents to see next cut scene. Then go straight ahead and kill everything on your sight [2].

It is good to open the next chest with Ethersol [1]. Few step later you will be fighting with the boss - Aster Protoflorian [2]. It is a very difficult fight so be careful.

When you will have maximum HP change between two paradigms: Ravager + Commando and Ravager + Ravager. As a result you will stagger the boss and... you will still be alive. Use Libra at the beginning to learn that your enemy is very against fire.

After the battle you will be informed that some new options in Crystarium are now available. You can save the game and end this chapter.
