There are eleven locations where Captain Cryptic can appear : seven in and around Grand Avenue , three in New Town , and one in the Alley . He never appears in the Central Bridge area . Every time the player enters Academia from the Historia Crux his location will be different .

They can also talk about his location with respect to other objects , such as telling that he is " under a slope " . Although he will not reappear in the Academy Headquarters , he can reappear in locations he ' s already been seen in . Captain Cryptic is found in the sides of the areas where the non - player characters never venture , such as in the shadowy crevices between buildings in shopping streets .
