Make your way to the first Quest Marker in this desolate wasteland. After the cutscene, go east for another cutscene. Now talk to Caius. Walk into the village. Noel is the green dot on your radar. When you get close, he’ll move. Move into the village further and when you get in a little ways, Mog will make sounds and indicate that he’s found Noel. Do a Moogle Hunt to find him. After the cutscene, talk to Yuel and Noel will move.
You’ll soon come out of the village to wide open area. Find Noel in the middle of this area. You will now fight Caius.
Caius
| 5000 HP | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Element | Vulnerability | Status Immunity | Misc |
| Fire | Normal | Pain | Chain Resist: 50 |
| Ice | Normal | Fog | Stagger: 150% |
| Electric | Normal | Stop | None |
| Wind | Normal | None | None |
| Physical | Halved | None | Untamable |
| Magic | Halved | None | No Role |
Fighting Caius one on one is not that difficult. Just be aggressive and stagger him. Once he’s staggered, change to Commando and kill him. Sometimes the fight will draw out and you’ll have to heal which may essentially start the fight over again. However, this fight is about as straight forward as it gets so keep trying. Caius has 5,000 HP during this fight. It is possible to lose or win this battle but you will only get the Bestiary entry for this version of Caius if you beat him so make sure you do so you don't have to come back later. Trust me, it's a pain.
Note: If you activate the Paradox Scope and defeat Caius, you will get a Paradox Ending.
After Caius is defeated, you can find Noel beyond the N boundary of the village. Catch up to him. Watch the cutscene and then follow after Noel. Noel will run across the wastelands. Just keep following after him. When Noel finally snaps out of it, an old friend will appear.
Gogmagog
| 146400 HP | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Element | Vulnerability | Status Immunity | Misc |
| Fire | Normal | Poison | Chain Resist: 55 |
| Ice | Normal | Curse | Stagger: 200% |
| Electric | Normal | Stop | Potent Orb |
| Wind | Normal | None | None |
| Physical | Normal | None | Untamable |
| Magic | Normal | None | No Role |
Gogmagog is very easy this time around. In fact, it’s “Writhe” ability actually causes negative status effects on itself. Just play a Rav, Rav, Com paradigm from beginning to end and it’ll die.
To leave the Dying World, you’ll have to make your way back to the statue that Yuel was at. You’ll find Mog again and have a chat with him. He’ll fill you in a bit.
Blow this pop stand.
New Bodhum -700AF-
Make your way up the beach to the pier. Do a Moogle Hunt at the pier by the Time Rift. After some story unfolds, you can find Chocolina to the west of NORA house and you can find an Artefact directly north of the pier and SW of NORA House. Take that Artefact to the end of the pier and use it on the Time Gate. Time for the final battle.
