Navigate AF01X: Yaschas Massif in Final Fantasy XIII-2! This guide covers finding the 'Encounters' Gate Seal, Live Triggers with Noel and Hope, and collecting valuable items like gil and a Mysterious Artefact.
Alright, let's dive into AF01X: Yaschas Massif! You're going to start off in a spot called The Pass of Paddra. Keep your eyes peeled for two gates down in the southwest part of the map. One is a crystal gate on the west edge, and the other is a shiny gate right at the very south of The Pass of Paddra. But before we head through those, there are a couple of things to grab and some chats to have.
First up, you'll need to jump up two ledges. There's a treasure cube waiting for you there that contains the 'Encounters' Gate Seal. Snagging this is important because it'll let you use Time Reversal in AF200 Oerba later on. After that, jump up one more ledge. You'll find Noel here; talk to him for a Live Trigger. He's going to ask: (Yeul said that if you change the future, you change the past. But what exactly does that mean?).
Next, run towards the encampment in The Paddraean Archaeopolis. You'll need to talk to Hope. A scene will play out just before you enter the camp. Once that's done, chat with Noel again for another Live Trigger: (I met another girl with the same name and face as Yeul from the future. What could it mean?).
Now, find Hope and talk to him. He'll trigger another scene, and then you'll get a Live Trigger prompt from him: (How should you interpret the images shown by the Oracle Drive? You decide to ask Hope.). If you try to leave after that, another scene will kick off. Finally, head into the tent and open up the Live Trigger Cube inside.
Time to do some climbing! Ascend the metallic slope right next to Hope's tent. At the very top, you'll find a concealed treasure sphere. Open it up to get 600 gil. Now, look really, really closely to the right of where you found the gil. There's a super tiny, almost invisible item icon. Press R1 to reveal it, and then you can collect the Mysterious Artefact.
