Missions (Final Fantasy XIII)

Missions in Final Fantasy XIII are quests that give the player party a target monster to defeat. They are found on the world of Gran Pulse, and can be repeated. Cie'th Stones will divulge the information about a certain monster that must be destroyed. There are 64 missions in all, some of which are overseen by the fal'Cie Titan.
Some of the Cie'th Stones have special properties:
*Waystones serve as teleporters when the missions are completed, allowing travel to other activated waystones.
*Palings emanate road blocks which dissipate when the missions are completed.
The toughest missions are battles against The Undying which normally have a specific effect on the area in which they take place.
Redoing missions is nearly essential for obtaining the trophy L'Cie Paragon that requires one to finish all missions with a 5-star rating. Other trophies obtained by completing missions are the Kelger's Cup for completing all D-rank missions, Xezat's Chalice for completing all mid-level missions, Dorgann's Trophy for completed all high-level Cie'th Stone missions, Exorcist for completing all the Undying missions, Floraphobe for defeating Gigantuar, Natural Selector for passing all of Titan's Trials, and Galuf's Grail for completing all of the Cie'th Stone missions.

==Mission list==
===01 - Pond Scum===
Mark: 		Ectopudding
Locale:		Archylte Steppe – Central Expanse
Class: 		D
The gelatinous rube beside that pond is the very ectopudding I seek! I need only slay it to avoid becoming a Cie'th.
How many years must it have been since I left the village in pursuit of that vile pest? My brand will not wait forever. I must kill it, and quick. And then, when I awaken from my crystal slumber, I can help to repair the ruin it left in its wake...

===02 - Goodwill Hunting===
Mark: 		Uridimmu
Locale:		Archylte Steppe – Central Expanse
Class: 		D
Time runs short. Today is the day I put an end to that troublesome uridimmu! The problem, I fear, will be the pack of loyal gorgonopsids. The master alone is a worthy enough foe. Must I face the hounds as well?
Alas...if it must be so, so be it.

===03 - Massif Contamination===
Mark: 		Ugallu
Locale:		Yaschas Massif - Tsubaddran Highlands
Class: 		D
I must hurry to the Yaschas Massif. For the ugallu—lord of its peaks—is my prey. Yet those peaks loom distant on the horizon, and already my limbs refuse the urgings of my mind. Please, obey but for a few days more!
Would that I could still the passage of time...

Mark: 		Adroa
Locale:		Yaschas Massif - The Ascendant Scarp
Class: 		D
You mean to tell me my Focus is to hunt that one-eyed adroa that plagues the Ascendant Scarp? Did I really need to be made a l'Cie to go hunting? Did I not do that every day? Are l'Cie not meant to fight Cocoon? Is that not the reason I left, boasting of the feats of heroism I would accomplish?
...Am I never to return home again?

Mark: 		Edimmu
Locale:		Yaschas Massif - Tsumitran Basin
Class: 		D
So, I'm told to rid the world of Edimmu. She was prowling the Tsumitran Basin last I heard.
Perhaps it is time to pay her a final visit, and join her as a Cie'th. I could not bear to raise a weapon against my own wife, after all. Not even if her mind is no longer her own.

Mark: 		Munchkin Maestro
Locale:		Yaschas Massif - The Pass of Paddra

At last, reason to be thankful for the gift of l'Cie power! I am charged with slaying a munchkin maestro—the very creature which brought devastation upon my home I left behind.
When I have put an end to this demon, and saved the village... please, bear my crystal to the forum. There I shall rest, never to leave my beloved home again.

Class: 		C
The Undying—fearsome Cie'th who defy fal'Cie will, driven by an intense loathing of all that lives. The Pillager, Bituitus, is of their number, and it is my fate to seal his.
Villages that survived the war remain unsafe, for his path of destruction sweeps through them all. Even my own fell before him. The demon is said to make his fastness in the Paddraean archaeopolis, but he will find no sanctuary from me there.

Mark: 		Rakshasa
Locale:		Vallis Media - Atzilut's Tears
Class: 		C
A rakshasa lurks along the route to the Yaschas Massif, and I'm supposed to hunt it down? I think I'll pass! If it's crystal or Cie'th, my life is over anyway. I might as well make the most of it! From here on out, I live for me!

Mark: 		Kaiser Behemoth
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
Class: 		C
Even with the power of a l'Cie—a kaiser behemoth? Really? So I have the choice of being gored to death beside that pond, or wandering the wild as an eternally damned Cie'th? Lovely.
All those years of hard work and careful planning of this! I should have lived more for the moment.

Mark: 		Ambling Bellows
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
Class: 		C
The war claimed my family.The war claimed my home.This focus is my last remaining hope.
I long for the release of crystal sleep. Perhaps when I wake the world will be a better place. I should hurry and destroy the ambling bellows raising havoc on the steppe's northern highplain.

===11 - Pride Before a Fall===
Mark: 		Adroa
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
Class: 		C
My focus this time appears to be dispatching an adroa on the Archylte Steppe. I don't know how many years have passed since the fal'Cie last called upon me, but there seem to be more beasts about.
Not that it matters. Provided I can complete my Focus and retain my master's favor, I will never die. And a little hardship is a small price to pay for an eternity of peaceful dreaming.

Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Western Benchland
Class: 		C
The Undying—fearsome Cie'th who defy fal'Cie will, driven by an intense loathing of all that lives. Geiseric, the Profane, is of their number, and my Focus is his doom. He is said to lead a horde of Cie'th on the steppe's western benchland.
To think you would become such a Cie'th, Geiseric! You, who would not harm a fly. Whatever part of you lingers in that grotesque prison of crystal and flesh must suffer. I will set you free my friend.

===13 - Eternity Unpromised===
Mark: 		Goblin Chieftain
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
Class: 		C
It is a cruel and contemptible contest the fal'Cie have devised, but one from which I may not yet absent myself. We assembled l'Cie must overcome innumerable obstacles as we compete to slay the goblin chieftain on the northern highplain. The prize? Freedom from bondage as a l'Cie.
I will win, be made human again, and return to propose to my lover, from whose arms the tyrant fal'Cie stole me.

Mark: 		Sahagin
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Font of Namva
Class: 		C
A sahagin infestation threatens the steppe chocobos who roost at the Font of Namva—those gentle souls I've known since I was a child!
The great and merciful fal'Cie heard my plea, and granted me the power to save them, I may never again be able to feel the warmth of their golden down, but I can think of no happier way to spend eternity than watching over them from the water's edge.

===15 - Tribal Warfare===
Mark: 		Goblin Chieftain
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
Class: 		C
There are other l'Cie who share my Focus. The first to complete it is the winner, with freedom from this l'Cie fate as his prize. But for all who have tried, none have yet survived.
...So I guess that will make me the first! No more being a fal'Cie tool for me! Just need to take out that goblin chieftain on the northern highplain, near the range of the behemoth king...

===16 - Surrogate Slayer===
Mark: 		Sahagin
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Font of Namva
Class: 		B
My dear, sweet sister set out with her grandiose dreams of saving the chocobos, but never returned. I have sought her crystal high and low, but it is nowhere to be found. Can it be that she turned into a Cie'th? No, she will return—she must. But until she does, there is no one to defend the flock.
Perhaps if I complete her Focus, the fal'Cie will set her free? I will set out for the Font of Namva at dawn, and put an end to the sahagin's predation!

Mark: 		Pulsework Champion
Locale:		Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
Class: 		B
A Pulsework champion that had been working the Mah'habara Subterra Subterra has gone haywire, and is now raising chaos on the steppe's northern highplain. It is my Focus to see the automaton deactivated—a duty which I undertake not only at the fal'Cie's behest, but for my husband, whom the accursed machine butchered.
By all that is sacred, I will not rest until I have torn it washer from bolt!

Mark: 		Ambling Bellows
Locale:		Mah'habara Subterra - Twilit Cavern
Class: 		C
Who designed this place? It's a maze of dead ends! How am I supposed to find the ambling bellows? Knowing it's in a twilight cavern doesn't help much when I'm trapped in a maze of the blasted things!
Curse my luck. I'm running out of time. I'd every intention of fulfilling my Focus, and now I'm going to end up a Cie'th!

Mark: 		Uridimmu
Locale:		Sulyya Springs - Subterranean Lake
Class: 		C
Time is of the essence. He must not defeat me in this! I must be the one to slay the uridimmu at Sulyya Springs.
We were always together—he, my princess and I—but it was he who won her love. Were he now to turn to crystal, I fear it would break her heart... and so it must be me! Then my princess can live out her days in happiness, as a princess rightly should.

===20 - Words Unspoken===
Mark: 		Goblin Chieftain
Locale:		Taejin's Tower - The Palisades
Class: 		C
When father told me he was leaving us, I struck him full in the face. I can still remember the look in his eye to this day... just as I'll never forget the way he picked himself up and left without a word. I found out later that he had turned to crystal. It pain me now to think of how I never made any attempt to understand how he suffered under the burden of his Focus. That is why I must triumph over the goblin chieftain near Taejin's Tower—so that someday I can tell him that I am sorry.
