LMessi10 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 has anyone heard of someone "losing" a wild artefact? I still have one gate that i need to open but NONE of the 10 wild artefacts are in my game. I have done the time labyrinth in yaschas that yields a wild artefact and the iridium ring quest in bresha ruins 300 af. I have bought the one in the casino. And i have just spent the last two hours checking and rechecking all the locations from the powerpyx's video locations and none of them are there and it will not let me open the gate to sunleth waterscape 400. i am literally a few hours away from the platinum and now it is looking like i will have to restart my game unless i figure it out.

I don't quite get it. How can a wild artefact just disappear? So you mean to say the 10th just disappeared? Maybe there's just some glitch, or the artefact's invisible. Try moogle hunting, or throwing moogle even if it's not there. The glitch might be just being invisible. (Though, I've never had one single glitch so far). You already got the on from Oerba 200AF? How 'bout in Academia 4XXAF? The one on the edge of Archylte Steppe? Those were the only tricky ones that I had problem on finding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moving On Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 The Dying World one is a tricky one that's easily overlooked, indeed. I remember being worried about Wild Artifacts when I played the game, but fortunately, I have not experienced losing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerjnick Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Did you get the one from the farseer relic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMessi10 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 yes i have the iridium ring fragment and the book of shambala so i have to have those two and I can't buy the one from serentipity and i have checked the other 7 locations at least 3 different times each, i have even tried closing the gates for a few of the locations and tried that way but they are not there. I explicitly remember grabbing all of them except the one in sunleth and augusta tower but i checked and rechecked those locations more than the others. Someone in the comment list of powerpyx's video seems to of had the same issue cuz he claimed to have all ten but cant open the last gate. I guess im just gonna restart cuz i am not lying when i say that i have spent around 5 hours re-looking for the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtasthehunter Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Any way you could check each location again and make take pictures or screen shots? if possible of Map Location/and Main game view! its possible are checking wrong times and areas, or maybe record the areas to help pin down what is missing The Farseer relic! is in "A Dying Wold 700 AF" Find Farseer relic and examine the Oracle Drive maybe this might help see if the area you are checking matches these images Final Fantasy XIII-2 Wild Fragment List and Location | guide4gamers.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metdevil Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Have you tried re-throwing Mog to the ones that you need to throw Mog to get? If you throw Mog and then get into a battle, it won't count as obtaining it. Also, you might have just missed but thought you got it when the "Obtained 1 Gil" notification popped up or something. I did that once, threw Mog at a sphere, and then the "Obtained..." notification came up, so I walked off, my wife pointed out that I didn't actually get it...

Lamizzle1219 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Here are the Wild Artefact locations: 1: Bresha Ruins (005 AF) - Use Moogle Hunt 2: Bresha Ruins (300 AF) - Complete Iridium Ring sidequest and use Moogle Hunt to find. 3: Oerba (200 AF) - Look for the big tree and throw Mog at the side of the house where the artefact is floating 4: Sunleth Waterscape (300 AF) - Throw Mog at the floating artefact along the Animal Trail ride 5:Archylte Steppe (??? AF) - Throw Mog off the western edge of the cliff in the Clearwater Marshes area (You'll see it floating on the level below) 6: Augusta Tower (200 AF) - 50th Floor, inner walkway 7: Academia (4XX AF) - Found in the Alley district of the area (pretty tricky to find. Look for the outlining then use the Moogle Hunt to expose it) 8: Yaschas Massif (100 AF) - Must complete Helmwige's Nightshade, Siegrune's Spiritbloom, Schwertleite's Flower, Rossweisse Skyblossom, and Book of Shambala sidequests (in the order stated)... then solve the timerift to receive the artefact. 9: A Dying World (700 AF) - This was the one I had trouble finding. First... complete the area by doing what is to be done via the storyline. Once you have finished and returned to the Historia thingy (Crux, I believe is the name), come back to the area and examine the oracle drive. There's gonna be a cutscene which will have a live trigger. Answer "I can do this" and there ya go. 10: Serendipity (??? AF) - Purchase for 10000 coins (or 7500 coins with Bargain Hunter Fragment skill). Hope this helps not only you... but anyone else who has the problem of the "dissappering Wild Artefacts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtasthehunter Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) i have already started a new game but i am 100 percent sure i was in the right location for all of them... well i sure hope you kept the other save try a speed run to find and compare with other save if kept it? Cause I'm almost sure you didn't need to start a new game! I still haven't heard of anyone losing a wild artifact just not sure where to look for the last few!

Metdevil Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 LMessi10, are you certain that you got the one in the Sunleth Waterscape? I know that that one is really easy to miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metelko Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I've been looking for it in the correct place for ages! Ive tried moogle hunt moogle throw, everything! It's just not there?! What do I do lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojoblazer Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 My last one was in Sunleth Waterscape 300AF. I actually didn't even bother looking there as I was adamant I'd got it during the first animal ride (that introduced moogle throw). Turns out I was wrong..

IIRC there was one in Sunleth Waterscape that was tricky to find. Although I dont care what anyone says, I'd do every single boss and side quest all over again for another platinum if I didnt have to try my luck at the damn casino for that lucky coin fragment! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladedAssasin Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Yeah... I've had the exact same problem as you... and guess what, the Wild Artefact reappears in Sunleth Waterscape 300AF. Go there and check it out, I was 100% certain I had gotten it before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookieflux Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 acadamia 4xx I have tried using moggle hunt on this and it fails. i need another wild artifact to make some progress, so frustrating! please help You need the advanced moogle hunt skill to get that to appear. Do you have it yet? I'm pretty sure you get it by simply progressing the story, unlike the other fragment skills that come through collecting fragments. Just carry on with the main story and you should be able to get that soon. Oh and I have a theory on the OP's problem, even though it was posted a long time ago. Maybe you did a time reversal and then used another Wild Artefact on a gate you had already unlocked? God that would have sucked. Hopefully you solved your problem.

Masta Kaka Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'm having a similar problem in that the Artefact in the Dying World 700 AF is the last one I need, except I have no idea what I need to do to get it now that I've completed it and moved on to the area after that. I haven't completed the story if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't completed the story if that helps. I don't think you can get it on first trip, just go back to the oracle drive and see if it's there now, moogle hunt of course.

arcana75 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I seem to be missing the wild fragment in Augusta tower 200af. The fragment is supposed to be on a platform on 50th floor just outside room 3 where the 3 paradox sidequests are given correct? Yet the fragment isn't there. Does it appear only much later or after certain conditions are met? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
