Distant Glory / The Lady of Legend Distant Glory : The Lady of Legend is a storyline in " Dissidia Final Fantasy " . It is a bonus storyline that unlocks Shantotto as a playable character upon its completion . Story . The player finds itself in a strange area when Shantotto saunters by , proclaiming that this place is an area of wisdom where the player does not belong . Upon the fact that the player cannot leave , Shantotto offers to help on the condition that her test be passed : manikin s have invaded the area and Shantotto recruits the player to destroy them before they cause too much trouble . Unknown to the character , Shantotto silently admits she gathered the manikins herself to examine when they broke free , and she wonders who could have made them . The player dispatches the manikins , though Shantotto continues to berate them as a " total loser " during their trials . As a " reward " when all the manikins are destroyed , Shantotto gives the player a private lesson for free and does battle with them . Afterwards , Shantotto comments the player could " barely handle " her magic and scores them a B - . She then leaves , having been challenged to a duel with Gabranth , though she cannot remember his name . With Shantotto defeated , the player may purchase the ability to play as her from the PP Catalog for 1000 PP . Stages . Distant Glory 1 - 1 . The first stage can be deceptive , as the player must defeat a normal Battle Piece to make its character counterpart appear , and thus the player can have difficulty setting up their chains . Furthermore , this means the player must defeat all present Battle Pieces in every stage . The player begins with four DP . To finish with the most DP , the player must first move to either F4 or G3 and chain both the two normal Battle Pieces at F3 and G4 , causing Firion to appear at D4 . The player then chains Firion with the Battle Piece at D2 , the latter ' s defeat spawning Warrior of Light at G2 . The player can then move to G3 , defeat the Warrior , and end the stage at the Stigma of Chaos immediately after . Distant Glory 1 - 2 . This stage requires the player to move back and forth between two areas of the board as new enemies spawn . As with the first stage , defeating a Battle Piece causes it ' s character counterpart to appear . To earn the most DP , the player must first defeat the Delusory Knight at F2 , then move to B3 and chain all three enemies together . Then the player can move to G4 , defeat Onion Knight and end the stage at the Stigma of Chaos that appears right beside them afterward . Distant Glory 1 - 3 . The Battle Pieces in this stage are more spread out than before so chaining them is difficult . Unlike the previous stage , the player does not need to defeat both Cosmos Pieces to make the Stigma of Chaos appear , instead it appears when Bartz and the Phantasmal Girl at A5 are defeated , so the player can skip Terra if they wish . The player begins with five Destiny Points . To earn the most DP in this stage , the player should first defeat the Fallacious Wanderer at G1 , then move to H4 and chain Bartz with the Lady of Antiquity at G4 . Then the player should then defeat the Lady of Antiquity at C4 , the Phantasmal Girl at A5 , then move to B1 and defeat Terra to end the stage with seven DP . Distant Glory 1 - 4 . This stage has a very odd set - up with enemies spawning in a very small area . As in the first two stages , the Stigma of Chaos only spawns when the two Cosmos Pieces are defeated , but in this case the Lady of Antiquity must also fall . The player begins with five Destiny Points . To earn the most DP , the player should first defeat the Imaginary Soldier at D5 then chain the Transient Lion at C3 and Cloud at E3 . The player can then defeat the two remaining enemies and move to the Stigma of Chaos to end the stage with five DP . Distant Glory 1 - 5 . This stage has its enemies close together , so the player shouldn ' t have much trouble conserving DP . However , earning DP can be difficult as all DP chances require the player to execute an EX Burst within the first ten seconds of the battle . The player fights Shantotto at the end of the stage . The player begins with five Destiny Points . Earning the most DP in this stage requires the player to consistently be able to enter EX Mode quickly : the easiest way to do this is to purchase several Arcane Resins at the shop which fill the EX Gauge at the beginning of a battle , or more cheaply to use Bartz , Garland , or Sephiroth and wear the Heike ' s set found here and in the other Distant Glory . Begin by chaining the Capricious Thief at B2 and the Warrior of Antiquity at D2 , then defeat the Ephemeral Phantom at E3 and Tidus when he appears after . Finally defeat Zidane at F3 and move to fight Shantotto with seven DP .
