Final Fantasy 13 Cie'th Stone Missions

All around Pulse, you’ll find the remains of fallen l’Cie who failed in their Focus – Focuses that usually involved monster killing. A simple touch will net you their sob stories of not being able to take down a particular beast. Many of these missions are optional, netting you items and equipment as a reward, though some are mandatory for the story, and a few unlock additional game features and sealed-off areas once they have been completed. So why not take some time out and help fulfill the last wishes of the dead for fun and profit?

Mission 01: Pond Scum

Mark: Ectopudding
Cie'th Stone location: Archylte Steppe – Central Expanse
Mark location: Archylte Steppe – Central Expanse (beside the pond)
Reward: Energy Sash

Your first mission is a relative pushover. The only thing you really need to look out for with Ectopudding is that he/she/it (do gelatinous blobs have genders?) is completely immune to physical attacks. If you’ve got a strict Commando on your team with low Ravager levels, just have them stick to using Ruin.

Mission 02: Goodwill Hunting

Mark: Uridimmu
Cie'th Stone location: Archylte Steppe – Central Expanse
Mark location: Archylte Steppe – Central Expanse
Reward: Cobaltite

Another relatively simple fight, though a bit tougher than Ectopudding due to the sheer number of enemies. Uridimmu’s got an entire pack of Gorgonopsids with him, and if you’re not careful they can gang up and put a bit of extra hurt on your party members.

Mission 03: Massif Contamination

Mark: Ugallu
Cie'th Stone location: Archylte Steppe – Central Expanse
Mark location: Yaschas Massif – Tsubaddran Highlands
Reward: Platinum Bangle

Ugallu’s similar to Uridimmu and his friends, but a lot bigger. He also fights solo, making it considerably easier to concentrate your attacks on him. Fortunately, the percentage you’ll need to achieve to stagger him is pretty low. He’s weak to ice and wind attacks, so set up a party/paradigm with spellcasting skills to help stagger him, then send your Commandos to go to town.

Mission 04: A Hero's Charge

Mark: Adroa
Cie'th Stone location: Yaschas Massif – Tsubaddran Highlands (teleport)
Mark location: Yaschas Massif – The Ascendant Scarp
Reward: Pearl Necklace

Adroa and his buddies have a very low percentage needed to stagger. Unfortunately, Adroa is resistant or immune to numerous magic skills, making it tough to damage him by any means other than pure melee attacking – so do just that. The little buggers don’t exactly have huge HP reserves, so taking them down shouldn’t be a huge issue. They’ll be using a lot of water magic against you, potentially interrupting your strikes, so plan accordingly.

Mission 05: Joyless Reunion

Mark: Edimmu
Cie'th Stone location: Yaschas Massif – The Ascendant Scarp
Mark location: Yaschas Massif – Tsumitran Basin
Reward: Sorcerer's Mask

Edimmu has some solid defenses, being immune or resistant to almost every physical or magical attack you can throw at it. Why not send a Saboteur into the mix to help even the odds a bit before going in for the kill? Fortunately, it doesn’t have a huge amount of HP compared to other single-enemy hunts, so with a few debuffs you ought to be able to clip its wings.
