Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Remove Doctor’s Code and any other accessories from Sazh.
  2. 2
    After the cutscene, Lightning and Hope will fight a group of Corps Gunners and a PSICOM Tracker.
  3. 3
    Use the Double Dose Paradigm for rapid healing as enemies can quickly deplete HP.
  4. 4
    Utilize the War and Peace Paradigm to maintain enemy Chain Gauges; create it if you haven't already.
  5. 5
    Spend acquired CP to unlock Accessory (Medic) and Launch (Commando) for Lightning.
  6. 6
    Upgrade the Ravager role first for Hope, then Synergist (which has an Accessory crystal), and finally Medic.
Tips
  • Save component upgrades until you have a wider selection for more efficient and cost-effective improvements.
  • Upgrading is generally not necessary until around Chapter 10, as the game provides sufficient Crystarium upgrades to manage challenges.
