" Chapter two , titled Stern Eyes is the third level available on Story Mode in " Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy " . This chapter features Vaan . Story . Separated from Laguna and Tifa after leaving Lightning , Vaan is alone while looking for a path back to Order ' s Sanctuary . Entering a gateway , he finds Terra , who attacks him . Fighting her off , Vaan tries to talk to her , but she flies away . Confused by the encounter , Vaan continues on and finds Kefka arguing with Terra , goading her to fight despite her refusal . Initially planning to continue on without getting involved , Vaan changes his mind when Kefka tries to torture her into submission , and intervenes to stop him . After a battle Vaan takes Terra and flees , while Kefka is distracted and decides to let them go , confident Terra will eventually return . Vaan leads Terra through the mountains , though she worries it ' ll do no good to flee . Stopping briefly at the next gateway , Vaan introduces himself , but Terra doesn ' t reply , instead asking Vaan to kill her , not wanting to fight or hurt others anymore as she did under Kefka ' s control . Vaan refuses in spite of their opposing allegiances , and explains she ' s still a person who needed help . Assuring her he won ' t hurt her , the two continue on . As they open the gateway , Terra - now fully free of Kefka ' s influence - is encouraged by Vaan to make her own decisions . Vaan assures her Cosmos will win the war and allow them to go home . He tells her to find a safe place to hide away so she won ' t have to fight , and he ' ll come back later and take her to see Cosmos to become one of her warriors instead of a Warrior of Chaos . As Vaan goes to leave to continue fighting , Terra finally introduces herself to him . Gateways . Hidden Darkness ( Repeatable ) . This is the first optional Gateway - the player can skip it if they choose , but there are treasures inside worth looking for . The close placement of the enemies around C3 makes it easy to chain three of them . The player encounters their first Strange Battle Piece at F4 . It begins battle with a full EX Gauge and uses the Bahamut summon to gain 99 Bravery every couple of seconds , and will repeatedly use Crushing Blow , possibly doing heavy damage with Bahamut ' s boosts . Fortunately it only has 1 HP , so the player simply needs to wait for an opening and use an HP attack to win . Use a Jump Chain at C3 or a Multichain at D3 to chain the four enemies besides for the Strange Battle Piece Encounters and Treason . The three battle pieces in the upper - right can be avoided , as they offer access to no treasures or the end piece , but if the player wishes to chain them for KP a Multichain at D3 will work . Terra is the boss of this stage . She enters EX Mode at the beginning of the battle and continually casts Tornado , but never uses her EX Burst , and with her EX Mode ability Dualcast may use Tornado twice in a row . The best way to handle her is to keep a distance until Tornado ends , then attack while Terra is recovering . Gulg Gateway . The player has a chance to earn a considerable amount of KP in this gateway with one Straight Chain . Using it at D4 will chain all five enemies , resulting in 25 KP if the player can defeat each of them in under 90 seconds . The Expert Battle Piece is a new sight here , and at level 15 with over 2 , 000 HP defeating it in the time limit can be a challenge . The player should try to give themselves whatever advantages they can , such as a Summonstone , a full EX Gauge , or using an Attack skill . The enemy ' s Boosters result in a 32 . 0x multiplier when it has full HP , so the player should try to land an HP attack early in the battle to drop the multiplier to zero . Kefka is the boss fought at the end of the stage . Snow of Sorrow ( Repeatable ) . This gateway has only handful of weak enemies , and their placement makes it easy to chain them to earn a fair amount of HP . The two treasure chests here hold rare items , so although it is optional the player should not pass this area up . Use Multichain at C3 or a Jump Chain at B3 to chain all of them . Seasonless Gateway . In this final stage the enemies are positioned to be chained by a Multichain or Cross Chain at C4 , which can be purchased from the Moogle not far from the gateway ' s entrance . The enemies are a bit higher level than the ones encountered thus far and may prove a bit of a challenge , so the player should consider using an Attack or Charge skill before initiating the chain to make the battles easier .
