Guide to Mission 15: Tribal Warfare in Final Fantasy XIII. Learn the location, strategy, and rewards for defeating the Goblin Chieftain and its Goblin allies.

Alright, let's tackle Mission 15: Tribal Warfare! This one's a bit of a step up from the last, mainly because you'll be facing a larger mob of Goblins along with their leader. The good news is, the core strategy is pretty similar, just with more enemies to manage. It's a Class C mark, so it's definitely doable, but don't underestimate those little guys!

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Mark: Goblin Chieftain
  • Stone Location: Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
  • Mark Location: Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
  • Class: C
  • Additional Foes: Goblin x6
  • Prerequisite: Mission 12

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Approach the Target Area

    You'll find the target location on the map towards the far North and East, right along the edge of that high cliff we were on earlier. To get there quickly, it's best to stay mounted on your Chocobo. Just be mindful of any other enemies you might run into along the way – try to avoid unnecessary fights to save your resources for the main event.

  2. Phase 2: Engage the Goblins

    Once you reach the target area, you'll spot the large group of Goblins. Find a safe spot nearby, dismount your Chocobo, and prepare for battle. The Goblin Chieftain will be there, along with six of its Goblin buddies.

  3. Phase 3: Defeat the Goblin Chieftain and Allies

    This fight is pretty straightforward, but the key is managing the numbers. With six extra Goblins, they can easily swarm you if you're not careful. Keep an eye on your party and don't hesitate to call in your medics if things get hairy. Focus on keeping them from overwhelming you, and you'll eventually take down the Chieftain.

Strategy:

  • The main challenge here is the increased number of Goblin cannon-fodder. Don't let them gang up on you!
  • Keep an eye on your party's health and use your Medics as needed to keep everyone topped up.
  • The battle itself will net you 6,860 CP, some Fractured Horns, and a Mission Complete notification.
  • Initial Reward: Survivalist Catalog (This is a key item, so make sure you grab it!)
  • Repeat Reward: Bomb Shell x4
