[*A*] INTRODUCTION
CAUTION: This presentation is not spoiler free. Nor is it a walkthrough. It is
a guide to assist location of the set of Key Items addressed.
Artefacts are listed in alphabetical order by "name". Each entry comprises the
"Name" of the Artefact followed by the name of the "Action Location" where it
is to be found and the Time Gate (within the "Action Location" is always given
preference) to which it attaches.
Gate Seals are listed in alphabetical order by "Title". Each entry begins with
the "Title" of the Gate Seal, continues with the name of the "Action Location"
where it is to be found and completes with the designator of the "Action
Location" controlled.
Time Gates are listed in alphabetical order by "designator". A designator
consists of a descriptor of the "Action Location" containing the Time Gate of
interest plus a numerical indicator used to separate multiple Time Gates that
may occur in a single "Action Location".
Each Time Gate entry consists of a designator plus a "usage" description. The
"usage" description includes the "Name of the Artefact that must be used to
activate the Time Gate and the "Action Location" (if any) revealed by the first
operation of the Time Gate.
The Directions Appendix gives information to assist finding the Artefacts, Gate
Seals and Time Gates enumerated by the respective index lists. Entries are
provided to cover each "Action Location" containing one or more of these items.
Content is organized by alphabetical order of the "Action Location" designators.
Directions are constructed so as to be "in addition" to those suggested by in-
game, game-designer-presented visual and map cues.
To appeal to the widest class of readers, directions are provided in two forms:
(1) as "Situational" descriptions in terms of "Action Location" features
that a player might see as that player moves about the "Action
Location" and,
(2) as "Map" directions making use of the directional and topographic
features available by application of the in-game Mini-map and Overhead
map tools while moving about the "Action Location".
In the latter case, the presentation will be of greatest use to the player
having used the "Settings" feature of the Main Menu to select "Facing" under
"Mini-map Settings" and "Fixed to North" under "Map Settings".
Use [Select] to toggle the appearance of the Mimi-map on and off. Use [Square]
to cause the Overhead Map to appear and [Circle] to cause it to vanish.
Also, remember that the tilting the Left Analog Stick allows complete scanning
of the area covered by the Overhead Map while pressing down on the Left Analog
Stick will center the Overhead Map position on your party's current location.
Tilting the Right Analog Stick up and down exercises the "zoom" feature of the
Overhead Map.
There is a "Miss Horizon" side quest concerning getting 100% coverage for
mapped locations. For completeness, discussion concerning the acquisition and
completion of map "coverage" for each "Action Location" has been added to the
Artefact, Gate Seal and Time Gate information for each "Action Location" of
interest to the appendix.

[*E*] DIRECTIONS APPENDIX
The entries of this appendix are organized as an alphabetical index based upon
in-game "Action Location" designators. Each "Action Location" entry offers in-
depth coverage of "The Map", "The Artefacts", "The Gate Seals" and "The Time
Gates" topics to assist the player to locate and effectively use these items.
[*10*] A DYING WORLD 700 AF
1 Artefact; 1 Gate Seal; 2 Time Gate
The Map
The map is found in an "out-phase" Treasure Sphere that is located in the
center of the pathway just past the very narrow opening between walls that
admits entrance into the ruined village from the large expanse of barren sands.
Complete map coverage is not possible during first entry as a large portion of
the western section of the area is blocked from access. A second entry from the
Historia Crux resolves that issue as the entry point is at the western border
of the previously blocked western section.
A routine inspection of the area produces the 100% coverage required to fulfill
the needs of the Miss Horizon side quest for map information on this area.
The Artefact
1. "Wild" Artefact - The artifact becomes available after story line events are
completed during a second entry into A Dying World 700 AF. The Moogle Hunt
capability will be needed to acquire the Artefact. It can be used to
activate A Dying World 700 AF Time Gate 1 or any other Time Gate accepting
"Wild" Artefact activation.
Situational Directions. Move forward and across a first bridge from the entry
point. Continue across the sands to pass over a second bridge. Bear to the
right and down the valley to re enter the ruined village. Move through the
village to turn left at the intersection of pathways. Move up the path to
arrive at the Farseers' Relic. Complete story line actions to be able to
collect the Artefact.
Map Directions. From a starting point near the western boundary of the map,
move to the south and to the east to arrive at the ruined village. At the far
end of the village, turn to the north and move up the pathway to the Farseers'
Relic. Perform the necessary story line actions to have the Artefact appear.
The Gate Seals
1. "Promises" Gate Seal - Becomes available after the first story line battle
in the area. It enables time Reversal for Academia 4XX AF.
Situational Directions. Follow Noel toward the Farseers' Relic. As you do so,
listen for the distinctive "hum" of a Treasure Cube. The "hum" will be at its
loudest as you are passing by a low wall on the right-hand side of the pathway.
Look behind the wall and open the Treasure Cube to receive the Gate Seal.
Map Directions. From the center of the ruined village, move southeast and
complete a U-Turn to the north to find and move along a path leaving the ruined
village. As you finish the turn be aware of the ruined structures on the right.
Look behind the low wall seen there to find the Treasure Cube containing the
Gate Seal.
2. The "Determination" Gate Seal that enables Time Reversal for A Dying World
700 AF is found in Academia 500 AF.
The Time Gates
0. Time Gate 0 - Second entry point. It is activated by first use of Time Gate
1 of New Bodhum 700 AF.
Situational Directions. The Gate is located at the top of a sandy slope in a
remote part of Dying World 700 AF. Two bridges and a long journey separate it
from the Farseers' Village area.
Map Directions. The Time Gate appears near the border depression west of the
boundary right angle in the top of the most northwesterly sizable area of the
map.
1. Time Gate 1 - Immediately available upon arrival at its location. When
activated using a "Wild" Artefact, it reveals Bresha Ruins 100 AF.
Situational directions. From the second entry point, proceed forward across a
bridge and move to the right and around the periphery of the sandy area. The
Time Gate will be found where the area boundary proceeds to reverse direction
as it curves back on itself.
Map Directions. The Time Gate is in the center of the peninsula extending to
the southwest from the large southwestern land area of the map.
2. First entry into this area is through story line action originating in The
Void Beyond ??? AF. First exit is also a story line event and results in
the indirect activation of New Bodhum 700 AF.
[*11*] ACADEMIA 400 AF
1 Artefact; 1 Gate Seal; 3 Time Gate
The Map
The map is not immediately available. After entry, move to the right and up the
moving walkway to enter a secure area. Query the terminal there to receive the
map.
Miss Horizon appears down the hallway from the terminal. Her side quest can now
be "officially" started. Map coverage previously accomplished need not be done
over to receive side quest "credit".
A map coverage completion percentage of 69% is possible during the first visit
to Academia 400 AF as all mapped areas are not accessible. The player is
advised that, as painful as it might be, a thorough exploration to acquire that
completion percentage may be beneficial.
The Miss Horizon side quest coverage requirements for the Academia map will
also require a complete exploration of Academia 4XX AF and Academia 500 AF in
addition to coverage accumulated at this location.
The Artefact
1. "Tower" Artefact - Receipt is automatic after the Zenobia battle. Used to
activate the Academia 400 AF Time Gate 1.

security barriers and follow the "smoke puffs" left by the protagonist under
pursuit to the battle site. Win a series of story line battles to receive the
Artefact.
Map Directions. Move east through the maze of hallways while overcoming the
security barriers placed there. Enter the east side promenade and travel its
length west to enter and cross the Central Bridge. Enter and move through the
west side promenade to reach a moving walkway that leads up to the battle site.
The Gate Seals
1. The "Farewells" Gate Seal is immediately available. It enables time reversal
for Sunleth Waterscape 300 AF.
Situational Directions. Starting at the entry point Time Gate, move to the
right and up the moving walkway Enter the secure area and look on the left
between the individuals standing there to find the floating Treasure Cube
containing the Gate Seal.
Map Directions. Move east and then north along the walkways always keeping to
the left. The Treasure Cube containing the Gate Seal will be found just before
a right turn is required to proceed forward.
2. The "Flight" Gate Seal that enables Time Reversal for Academia 400 AF is
found in Oerba 300 AF.
The Time Gates
Time Gate 0 - This initial entry point is activated by the second story line
exit from The Void Beyond ??? AF.
Situational Directions. The Time Gate is located in one corner of a small plaza
in the middle of an elevated overpass bridge between two sets of tall buildings.
Map directions. The Time Gate is in the southeast corner of a small rectangular
area on the 500th Floor of the south Central Bridge area of Academia 400 AF.

section of the Academia 400 AF city map to find the Time Gate.
[*12*] ACADEMIA 4XX AF
2 Artefact; 1 Gate Seal; 3 Time Gate
The Map
The map is that obtained during activities in Academia 400AF. If the area map
was not obtained there, query the pedestal standing near the entry point to
receive the map.
Entering coverage percentage will be that obtained from the exploration of
Academia 400 AF. With 69% entering coverage, map coverage will become 100% upon
through exploration of Academia 4XX AF.
To meet the 100% coverage requirement of the Miss Horizon side quest, 100%
coverage will also have to be achieved for Academia 500 AF.
The Artefacts
1. "Vagabond" Artefact - Received when the Academia 4XX AF story line quest is
completed. Used to activate Time Gate 1.
Situational directions. Interface with Alyssa inside of the chamber past the
reception area of the headquarters building to automatically receive the
Artefact.
Map Directions. Go and speak with Alyssa in the Research Facility at the north
end of the map in the headquarters building to automatically receive the
Artefact.
2. "Wild" Artefact - Available when Moogle Hunt is used at its location. Can be

moving walkways and a broad, fixed walkway to enter the large building seen
directly ahead. The reception counter is the major feature in the entry way.
Look inside the counter on its right side toward the rear to see the Treasure
Cube containing the Gate Seal.
Map Directions. There is a large irregular area with an empty space at its
center at the north end of the map. The Treasure Cube will be found just off
the map edge at the right rear of the empty space.
2. The "Promises" Gate Seal which enables Time Reversal for Academia 4XX AF is
found in A Dying World 700 AF.

2. The "Sisters" Gate Seal that enables Time Reversal for New Bodhum 700 AF
becomes available at its location site after a story line action has been
completed.
Situational Directions. From the starting point, retrace the path to get to the
third platform of the series that led to the map Treasure Sphere. From the
third platform, go straight ahead on the stairway and then to the right when
the right-angle path segment is in position. Move down the stairs to the
elongated platform and complete story line actions there.
Move out on stationary straight path segment and then left to the next small,
stationary platform when the moving right-angle path segment is in proper
position. Go left again across the rotating straight line path segment to
another platform. Move onto the rotating stairway and climb to its top. Watch
the "flip-flopping" right-angle pathway segment that, at times connects to the
small, stationary platform located toward the "outside" of the maze area. At
the right time, quickly run over that segment and onto the identified small,
stationary platform. Move down the stairway and touch the "Gate Key Block"
found there to change the moving pathway segment behavior. Move back up the
stairs and use the pathway block just used to enter the platform to move to the
right and onto the elongated stationary platform structure in the middle of the
maze.

consider their movement by making use of [Square] as they change positions.
Proper timing of character movements will allow the following paths to be taken.
Move from the starting point to the elevated elongated platform in the middle
of the maze area by using moving path segments on the west side of the map.
Once on the platform, move south onto the segment available there and then east
and north onto the north-south extending platform on the east side of the maze
area. Use the "Gate Key Block" down the stairs on this platform to enable
movement onto the next elongated platform.
Upon arrival at the center of the next elongated platform, use the "Gate Key
Block" to enable use of the rotating T block to move onto the next stationary
platforms.
Move north and east to the first available stationary platform to find the
Treasure Cube with the Gate Seal.

becomes available after a story line action completes at its location.
Situational Directions. Start at the very long stationary platform in the
center of the maze. Use the Gate Key Block to change the movement behavior of
the rotating T block. Move to the left and onto the next stationary platform.
Ride the rotating T block over to the next platform on the left. Use the Gate
Key Block to change the movement of the pathway block segments again. Ride the
rotating T block to the platform seen ahead having an elevated stairway
connection. Move up the stairway and around to the right to arrive at the large,
rectangular elevated platform which is the location for the Gate Seal Treasure
Cube.
Map Directions. From the very long stationary platform in the middle of the
maze, use a "Gate Key Block" to allow movement to the second platform on the

series of terraces at the end of a narrow canyon. Exit from its location is by
"jumping" up the series of terraces in the cliff wall to reach the pathways
available at the top of the cliff.
Map directions. There is a "dead end" eastward extension off the main north-
south pathway in the middle of the map. The Time Gate appears at the east end
of the extension.
1. Time Gate 1 - Immediately available. When activated by the "Illusionary"
Artefact or the "Restoration" Artefact, it reveals The Void Beyond ??? AF plus
other "Action Locations".
Situational Directions. Once the "Mysterious" Artefact is obtained, leave the
ruined city and move to the opposite end of the Yaschas Massif. Take the
pathway out of the ruined city and go right at the fork to enter a large open
area. Continue through that area, keeping to the right, until a small sill
separating it from a second open area is encountered. Jump up and move through
the second open area to find a small bridge just past its exit point. Jump down
to the canyon bottom using the bridge platform provided to find the Time Gate.
Map directions. There are two pathway stubs at the southeast corner of the map.
Access to the end of one of those is blocked by a barrier. The Time Gate is at
the end of the adjacent, unblocked pathway stub.
2. Time Gate 2 - Immediately available. When activated by using a "Wild"
Artefact, it reveals Augusta Tower 300 AF.
Situational Directions. The Time Gate is located on the border of the largest
open area in the Yaschas Massif. Enter the open area from any direction and
look around to see the "glowing" white Time Gate against the canyon wall.
Map Directions. The Time Gate is located at about the center of the edge of the
middle "bulge" that appears on the lower western side of the map.
[*34*] YASCHAS MASSIF 100 AF
1 Artefact; 1 Gate Seal; 2 Time Gate
The Map
The map is that obtained earlier for Yaschas Massif 010. If 100% coverage has
not been obtained before entry it may be gained by moving about the area.
However, visits to the other Yaschas Massif areas will still be required to
satisfy the coverage requirements imposed by the Miss Horizon side quest.
The Artefact
1. "Wild" Artefact - Obtained after completing four quests and resolving a
Temporal Rift anomaly. This Artefact can be used to enter Time Gate 1 or
any one of the 9 other Time Gates in the game that accept "Wild" Artefact
activation.
Situational Directions. The four quests are initiated and completed by
interacting with red globes. The spacetime distortion "pillar" that is the
entry point for Temporal Rift anomaly resolution will appear at the foot of the
stairs leading up to the fal'Cie excavation site.
Map Directions. When the notice of the appearance of a spacetime distortion is
received after the conclusion of the fourth quest, relocate to the small
courtyard appearing between the walkway segments in the southwest corner of the
square-cornered area at the north end of the map. Enter the spacetime
distortion "pillar" to resolve the Temporal Rift anomaly.
The Gate Seal
1. The "Reminiscence" Gate Seal is available immediately. Moogle Throw will be
needed to collect the item. It enables time Reversal for Yaschas Massif
100 AF.
Situational Directions. Move away from the entry point Time Gate, down the
walkway and stairs to the central plaza and up the stairway that serves as the
exit from the ruined city. Near the top of the exit stairs look over the right-
hand-railing to see the Treasure Cube containing the Gate Seal.
Map Directions. Move to the end of the pathway seen in the southwestern corner
of the ruined city area. Look down and to the northwest to see the Treasure
Cube containing the Gate Seal.
The Time Gates
0. Time Gate 0 - This initial entry point into Yaschas Massif 100 AF is
activated by the first use of Academia 400 AF Time Gate 2.
Situational Directions. The Time Gate is located at the top of the formerly
blocked meandering walkway that begins at a point just to the left of the
"command" tent within the ruined city.
Map Directions. The Time Gate is located at the end of the walkway seen in the
southeast corner of the square-cornered area at the north end of the map.
1. Time Gate 1 - Becomes available once it's Yaschas Massif 100 AF Temporal
Rift anomaly has been resolved. When activated with a "Wild" Artefact, it
reveals Sunleth Waterscape 400 AF.
Situational Directions. Exit the ruined city area and follow the pathway to its
end (keeping to the left but not entering the side passage off to the left when
it appears). A spacetime distortion "pillar" will appear at the end of the path.
The Time Gate will appear behind it.
Map Directions. Move to the end of the easternmost pathway stub that appears at
the south end of the map.
[*35*] YASCHAS MASSIF 110 AF
0 Artefact; 1 Gate Seal; 1 Time Gate
The Map
The map is that obtained earlier for Yaschas Massif 010.
Notable changes are the apparent absence of prior Time Gates and previously
seen barriers.
Complete exploration of this area results in 100% map coverage.
Given that prior visits have been made to Yaschas Massif 010 AF and Yaschas
Massif 01X AF, this completes the Yaschas Massif coverage required by the Miss
Horizon side quest.
The Artefacts
There are no Artefacts to be found in Yaschas Massif 110 AF.
The Gate Seal
1. "Maleficience" Gate Seal - Immediately available and enables Time Reversal
for Yaschas Massif 110 AF.
Situational Directions. Leave the entry point platform by moving down the
stairs and across the courtyard. Take the stairway leading up to the fal' Cie
excavation site. Find the treasure Cube with the Gate Seal on the platform at
the top of the first flight of stairs.
Map Directions. Move to the walkway system seen in the northwest corner of the
top of the map. The Treasure Cube will be in plain sight as just after the
walkway is entered.
The Time Gates
0. Time Gate 0 - The initial entry point into Yaschas Massif 110 AF activated
by the first use of Bresha Ruins 300 AF Time Gate 1.
Situational Directions. The Time Gate is located on the mid-level platform of
the three major platforms in the ruined city area. It is visible from almost
any point within the ruined city.
Map Directions. The Time Gate is located in the middle of the western side of
the square-cornered area in the north eastern corner of the map.
