Wild Artefact Problem


LMessi10

Recommended Posts

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. :mad:

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.

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.

yeah man like i said i went to each of the 7 actual locations and either threw moogle and moogle searched in their locatins several times and id even leave and come back and even close the gate and try that way and nada. oh well not a huge deal i enjoyed playing it so another playthrough wont kill me it just sucks cuz i already had 155 fragments and was really close to 100% bestiary, not to mention a maxed out twilight odin and a bunch of other monsters i spent the time farming the right crystals.

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

i have already started a new game but i am 100 percent sure i was in the right location for all of them i explicitly remember grabbing the dying world one you are refering to, the oerba one where you have to moogle throw, the one in bresha ruins that you pretty much have to pick up as part of the story cuz u activate the moogle search ability by grabbing it, the academia one, and the one in the archylte steppe that you have to throw moogle to the lower surface ne ways i went back and checked those 5 locations more than once so that only leaves two of the seven that you find that i do not explicitly remember grabbing and i even went back and double checked each location numerous times while using powerpyx's vid so i was looking and re-looking in the same place i wasnt for example looking in oerba 300 instead of 200. i am not crazy nor stupid the game glitched out and for lack of a better word "lost" a wild artifact. cuz i even did one last check as i was writing this post and they are all gone 60 hours down the drain lol oh well

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... Stupid Improved Moogle Throw :rant:

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"

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!

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

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.

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.

 

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.
