Stuck on the 'Where Are You, Holmes?' side quest in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII? Get a step-by-step walkthrough and tips to help you find the elusive Holmes and complete this quest.

Alright, let's tackle the 'Where Are You, Holmes?' side quest in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. This one can be a bit of a scavenger hunt, but don't worry, I'll guide you through it. It's all about finding a specific person in Luxerion, and the game doesn't exactly hold your hand here.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, you'll need to head to Luxerion. Make sure you've progressed enough in the main story to unlock it.
  2. 2
    Once you're in Luxerion, your main goal is to find a guy named Holmes. The quest marker might be a little vague, so keep your eyes peeled. He's usually found wandering around the Grand Cathedral area.
  3. 3
    Talk to him, and he'll give you the rundown of what he needs. It usually involves finding something or someone for him.
  4. 4
    Follow the quest markers that pop up after talking to Holmes. These will lead you to the next objective, which might be another NPC to talk to or an item to retrieve.
  5. 5
    Pay attention to the details Holmes gives you. Sometimes he'll mention specific landmarks or times of day, so keep those in mind.
  6. 6
    If you get lost, don't be afraid to check your map and zoom in. Luxerion can be a maze, especially the cathedral district.
Tips
  • The quest giver, Holmes, is often found near the Grand Cathedral. If he's not there, try leaving the area and coming back, or advancing time.
  • Keep your ears open for any dialogue that might give you clues about Holmes's whereabouts or the location of whatever he's looking for.
  • Don't rush! This is a side quest, so take your time and enjoy exploring Luxerion. Sometimes just wandering around the cathedral area will trigger the next step.
  • If you're really stuck, sometimes changing the time of day can help. Certain NPCs or events only happen at specific times.
