P16B: New Bodhum AF700

P16B:  New Bodhum AF700

The first thing that we want to do is head towards where the beach used to be and use the Pillar by the docks to trigger a CS in which we are confronted by a projection of Lightning we fills you in on the reason for this areas desolation. 

You learn a lot more about what happened before and what it lead to and about the event that caused the changes and separation that you have been trying hard to correct.  A lot of this makes more sense now -- the cohesiveness of the story that has been unfolding was not as tight as I suspect most of us would have liked... The Datalog and the Fragment Pages helped, but not as much as knowing the details from Noel and Lightning...

Moogle reveals the Gate at the end of the docks, and you watch Lightning disappear into the Pillar.  In addition to gaining this new information you also obtain the Improved Mooglehunt ability (that is what you need to reveal the objects inside the round starburst thingies we have been encountering.

Advanced Mooglehunt in Practice

Head back to the one we just saw and Mooglehunt it to obtain the Map of New Bodhum AF700, then work your way along the beach and through the town obtaining the following items:

-- Artifact of the Ark near the old house.
-- Cartesian Board Fragment (above the beach under the tree roots) use Mooglehunt and Throw.
-- Hope's Message Fragment (see Supply Sphere Access Code.
-- Laplacian Board Fragment from the hidden Treasure Chest with Mogthrow.
-- Phoenix Blood from a hidden Treasure Chest.
-- Supply Sphere Access Code (Set A) Mooglehunt on rocks near center.


This nicely wraps up what we needed to do here so, if you have done your grinding to your satisfaction, head to the Gate at the end of the docks and use the Artifact to unlock it then go to the Historia Crux!

Going through the Gate unlocks the Gates for New Bodhum AF700 and Academia AF500...
