All Yaschas Massif Fragments Locations

Yachas Massif (010 AF)

Noel and Serah now travel to a research site in the wilds of Yaschas Massif. There they find an aged Hope Estheim who is working for research group The Academy.  

Hope is looking to unlock the secrets of some nearby ruins, and prevent a future cataclysm. After speaking with Hope you can free roam the area in search of fragments and artifacts.  

Pathos Jewel

You will need to unlock the Moogle Throw ability in Sunleth Waterscape 300 AF before attempting to collect this fragment. After speaking with Hope, run down the ramps to the courtyard and head to the big statue to the west.

Climb the ramps surrounding the statue until you reach its head. There is a an invisible floating trasure box in front of its mouth. Use Moogle Hunt to reveal it, then Moogle Throw to have Mog collect the Pathos Jewel  - worth 300 CP. 

Hollow Artefact – Unlocks Oerba 200 AF

This is a mandatory artefact that you gain automatically during the plot. After speaking with Hope and Alyssa at the start of this area, you can then speak to the guard next to them.

He will grant you entry to the Yaschas Massif ruins.  You will then follow Hope up to his command centre at the top of the ruins. After a story cutscene, Hope will give you the Hollow Artefact. 

Misery’s Bead

After receiving the Hollow Artefact head to the north-most Chocolina, just at the entrance to the excavation site. Keep heading south until you come across a worker called Brenda.

Brenda needs a Behemoth Fang, and you can find one by defeating a Feral Behemoth. You will find the Feral Behemoth in the centre of plains of Yaschas Massif.

It’s the big field with all of the searchlights. And cracks in the ground. Be wary of the Feral Behemoth’s big attacks. Level up a little if you feel it will help.

We recommend going to Oerba 200 AF for a while to level up, as it’s a great place to acquire Crystogen Points early on. Once you have defeated the Feral Behemoth, take the Behemoth Fang back to Brenda to earn the Misery’s Bead Fragment – worth 300 CP. 

Amur’s Sphere

Before attempting this quest, you will need the Moogle Throw ability unlocked in Sunleth Waterscape 300 AF. You must also first unlock the Yachas Massif 01X AF era in the Historia Crux by finding the Artefact of Origins in Oerba 200 AF. Skip to the Oerba 200 AF section of this guide to find out how to do this.

To get Amur’s Sphere head to Yaschas Massif 010 AF and head to the furthest north area called Paddrean Archaeopolis – where Hope and Alyssa are standing.

Cole is usually walking or standing at the bottom of the ramp that leads up to Hope and Alyssa. Speak to Cole to trigger this quest. He is looking for an old battery that can only be found in Yaschas Massif 01X AF.

Head there now and journey to the excavation site again. You will see stacks of crates littered around the command centre where Hope and Alyssa are usually found.  

Behind these crates hides an out of reach treasure box. Use Moogle Throw to open the box and collect the Old Battery. Return it to Cole in Yachas Massif 010 AF to earn the Amur’s Sphere Fragment – worth 300 CP. 

Innocence's Sacred Sphere

First, you will need to unlock the Yaschas Massif 110 AF era in the Historia Crux. You can do this by finding a wild fragment in Bresha Ruins 005 AF and then a wild fragment in Bresha Ruins 300 AF.  

In Yaschas Massif 010 AF, head to the Paddraean Archaeopolis and speak to Shannon near the giant statue in the north-west. Shannon is looking for her lost watch.

Head to Yaschas Massif 110 AF then journey to the big field in the Pass of Padra area. In the most northern tip of the field, you will see a canyon stretching out into the distance.

There is an invisible treasure box floating in the crevice. Use Moogle Hunt, then Moogle Throw to hae Mog open the box and collect the Outdoor Watch item.

Return to Yaschas Massif 010 AF and return it to Shannon to earn the Innocence’s Sacred Sphere Fragment – worth 300 CP.  

Yaschas Massif (01X AF)

Noel and Serah travel to an alternate version of Yaschas Massif. This area doesn't offer many fragments, and most of the monsters are defeated easily. 

Mysterious Artefact - Unlocks The Void Beyond ??? AF

After speaking with Hope in the Paddraean Archaeopolis area, walk up the ramps to reach his command centre. Keep on head up the ramps as far as you can go, and you will find an invisible artefact. 

Use Moogle Hunt to reveal the object to collect Mysterious Artefact. This artefact will unlock the mysterious Void Beyond ??? AF area in the Historia Crux.

Orb of Clotho

After speaking with Hope, search for Marlow in the Paddraean Archaeopolis. Marlow will explain that he needs a stone tablet. You can find this back in Yaschas Masif 010 AF. Chances are you might have picked this up already.

If not, return to Yascha Massif 010 AF in the Historia Crux. Head to the big field with all of the searchlights in the Pass of Padra area, the stone tablet can be found in an invisible treasure box. The box is floating in a recess on the right hand wall, near a floating treasure sphere.  

Use Moogle Hunt to reveal the box and collect the Tablet of Paddra. Head back to Yaschas Massif 01X AF and return the tablet to Marlow to receive the Orb of Clotho Fragment – worth 300 CP.  

Swords of Lachesis

After speaking with Hope, get on the nearest Chocobo and head south. Take the first right down to where the Pass of Padra field is. Keep an eye out for a raised platform on the left, just before you enter the wide field.  

If you stand up the ramp a little and use the Chocobo’s jump and glide ability, you can land on the raised platform. You will find an excavation worker called Bridget standing there.  

Bridget is looking for the Fruit of Fenrir, a plant that only grows during an eclipse. Luckily, the Yaschas Massif 010 AF area is engulfed in an eclipse.

Chances are, you might already have picked this item up earlier in the game. If not, head back to Yaschas Massif 010 AF in the Historia Crux and return to the same raised area using a Chocobo.

The Fruit of Fenrir can be found in a floating treasure box on the raised platform.  If you don’t have enough Gyshal Greens to ride a Chocobo, you can use Moogle Throw to grab the box instead.

Once you have the fruit, return it to Bridget in Yaschas Massif 01X AF to earn the Sword of Lachesis Fragment – Worth 300 CP. 

Mirror of Atropos

You will need the Moogle Throw ability – which is unlocked in Sunleth Waterscape 300 AF – before attempting this fragment. Find an excavation worker called Lester in the Paddraean Arhaeopolis area.

Lester is looking for three falling stars, which can all be found in the Pass of Padra area of Yaschas Massif 01X AF. First, head as far south as the map will allow, right down to the Time Gate at the bottom of the map.  

Head back the way you came, but this time take the first left. The Ivory Crystal can be found in a floating treasure box underneath the metal bridge. Next, head north and take the path on the right rather than crossing the bridge.

At the end of this path you will see a blocked off route to the right. Before the blockade, examine the wall on the left of the path. You will see an invisible floating treasure box floating near some piles of rubble.

Inside you will find the Onyx Crystal. The final ‘star’ can be found in a crater, right in the middle of the Pass of Paddra field. The crater you’re looking for is right in front of the western time gate.

Use Moogle Throw to have Mog collect the Emerald Crystal from a floating treasure box. Return all three to Lester to earn the Mirror of Atropos Fragment – worth 300 CP. 

Gorgyra Fragment

Collecting this fragment requires you to beat an insanely tough monster. Your best bet is to make note of this fragment and return to it much later in the game.

To trigger the quest, speak to an excavation worker called Duncan in the Paddraean Archaeopolis. He is usually standing or walking around the ramp that leads up to Hope.  

Once the quest is active, head to the bottom left corner of the Pass of Paddra area to reveal Gorgyra – a powerful and ruthless Cie’th monster. Gorgyra is brutal as he will inflict a wide range of status effects on Noel and Serah, so make sure you have a strong Synergist in your party.

Once you manage to defeat Gorgyra, you will earn the Gorgyra Fragment – worth 500 CP.  

Yaschas Massif (110 AF)

This time period is unlocked in the Historia Crux by using a Wild Artefact on the northern Time Gate in Bresha Ruins 300 AF. There are many fragments to find here, so thorough exploration is to be advised.

Also, keep an eye out for red orbs floating around the map, as these will eventually give you side-quests that will earn you more fragments.

Gerhilde’s Blossom Fragment

Head to the Paddrean Archaeopolis area in the top right of the map. You will find a red orb with a speech bubble above it in front of the Time Gate. Touch the orb to begin the Gerhilde’s Blossom side quest.

Head south into the Pass of Padra area of Yaschas Massif until you reach a Chocobo. Take the path east, then south at the next junction. You will see a semi-invisible woman called Millie walking around the path.

Use Moogle Hunt to reveal Millie and talk to her to receive the Wedding Jewelry item. Take the jewelry back to the orb to complete the quest and earn the Gerhilde’s Blossom Fragment – worth 500 CP. 

Waltraute’s Flower Fragment

You can only attempt this side quest once after you collect the Gerhilde’s Blossom Fragment in Yaschas Massif 110 AF. Find the red orb to the west of the Time Gate in Paddrean Archaeopolis. Touch it again to receive the Waltraute’s Flower side quest.

The orb will ask you to find a service manual. First head to Hope’s command centre at the top of the ramps and you will find an invisible floating treasure box. Use Moogle Hunt to reveal the box and open it to grab the Service Manual Key item.

Next, head back down the ramps and jump on the red Chocobo next to the Paddrean Archaeopolis Time Gate. Head south into the Pass of Padra area and head west towards the big field.  

To the left you will see a raised platform with a man standing on it. He has a speech bubble above his head. Use the Chocobo’s jump and glide ability to leap up on to the ledge.

Speak with the man to trigger a dialogue option. Select “The Manual” to earn the Technician’s Note.” Item. Take the note back to the red orb to earn the Waltraute’s Flower Fragment – worth 500 CP.

Yaschas Massiv ( 100 AF)

Coming soon :)

Thundering Artefact

Thundering Artefact – Unlocks Archylte Steppe ??? AF

Go as far east as the map will go until you encounter a group of Miniflans in the Overgrown Forest area. Defeat them in battle to earn the Thundering Artefact.

This artefact can only be used on the Base of Crystal Time Gate – which is found at the north-most point of the map. This gate will open the Archylte Steppe ??? AF time period in the Historia Crux, which is by far the largest area in Final Fantasy XIII-2.

You must also travel to Archylte Steppe ??? AF before fighting Mutantomato. Head there now before attempting the rest of the fragments and artefacts in Sunleth Waterscape 300 AF.

Recruiting Twilight Odin (Final Fantasy XIII-2 Guide)

Despite of not having an Eidolon that players can use in battle, there’s a monster that can comes close to Lightning’s Odin that is recruitable.

Twilight Odin is considered as one of the most useful and powerful monster that can join the players’ party. Before he turns into a monster crystal, players must face and defeat him two times in two different time periods. For those who are looking for a great monster that has a Commando role; Twilight Odin will be the best bet after some light leveling.

Before players can obtain Twilight Odin, make sure that:

- Have Vile Peaks 010 AF and 200 AF unlocked in the Historia Crux
* To unlock Vile Peaks 10 AF, use a Wild Artefact on the time gate in Academia 4XX AF.
* To unlock Vile Peaks 200 AF, use a Wild Artefact on the time gate in Archylte Steppe ?? AF

---- Vile Peaks 010 AF ----

Once you have them unlocked, make sure you start in 010AF. Talk to the Blitz Squadron that got stranded after a shadowy figure attacked their ship. Each of them will ask you to do a certain quest in regards to finding its members that got lost. Once you get to a point where it asks you for proof, go back to Historia Crux and head to 200 AF.

---- Vile Peaks 200 AF ----

In 200 AF of Vile Peaks, you’ll meet the remaining missing squadron. Go to the area where you see Twilight Odin engulfed in Shadow. Talk to the members of the squadron team and do their quest. Once you get the proof that you need, go back to 10 AF.

---- Vile Peaks 010 AF ----

Once you show the proof to one Blitz squadron member, he’ll then ask you to investigate the shadowy figure.

In this time period, Twilight Odin is just a replica of the original form that you will fight in 200 AF. He’s much weaker in this state. Once Odin is defeated, go back to 200 AF to fight the real Odin.

---- Vile Peaks 200 AF ----

Go back to the are where you find the Shadowy figure that the Blitz Commander is fighting. The shadow is no longer within Odin and now you can fight his true form. This time, it’s somewhat harder as he can use Zantetsuken, which can wipe out your party. It’s recommended that you stagger him and keep on attacking. I suggest to be more aggressive in this battle.
