Can’t trickshot me!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I decided to post a new thread because I could not update the old thread ("Organized FFXIII PKG and Saves Thread") or even access to my first post (weird) and SO MANY PEOPLE requested for a Re-up of the FFXIII save (stop bombarding my inbox please Happy). So I decided to post a updated version (I'll try to update but I'm busy with work and school) so anyways here it is

Intro:

[Warning]
General Rule:
1. Credit everything that you take or use, on anything that is and dont steal Happy
2. If I missed or wrote wrong credits here, please let me asap and will fix[/COLOR]
3. DO NOT LEECH Please! or I might have to delete this thread :( (NGU is known for leecher central; including "beggers"),
Just keep this in the NGU forums (I could of posted in the premium section only but didn't so dont betray trust please)

this thread will be updated "semi-quarterly" or when new stuff comes Smile


Enjoy and thank you

Also, if you have a FFXIII or FFXIII-2 save that gives trophy or untested one that would, send a PM to me and I'll add you to the page if you choose Happy (For users like me when browsing the forum, I want the things in one place that are revelant so no need to open another tab and what not)

Part I: Requirements


//////Required For FFXIII ONLY\\\\\\

-CFW 3.55 (I am using GeoHots)
-FTP
-Filezilla or Windows Explorer (start FTP, then go type "ftp://###.###.#.#" on the address bar; of course the # is your address that is stated on the FTP)

[Note 1:] If you don't know how to install CFW or Confused on this matter, heres a link to You must login or register to view this content.

[Note 2:]: Installing PKG, put PKG file in the root folder of the USB or any removable storage, then install in PS3

Note on Guide to make saves work on your PSN account:
I. You must login or register to view this content.
II. You must login or register to view this content.

One more note: DON'T COPY OVER THE .SFO, COPY EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE .SFO
(NEW: I have removed the .SFO from most of the save so just add yours in)

Updated:
-Apparently, you can use this Xploder to do this resigning but haven't been all that active on this forum (at all if you can say) and I don't know this method too well or at all again,
so here is the link to You must login or register to view this content. if you want to know more.

ABOVE REQUIREMENT DOES NOT APPLY FOR FFXIII-2 EXCEPT MAYBE XPLODER BUT USUALLY NOT THE CASE, 256-AES encryption is not present in FFXIII-2 files unlike FFXIII (I spent so much debugging that FF13 sata sh** but I had no AES key to continue or decrypt) SO FFXIII-2 HEX EDIT TUTORIAL WORKS WITHOUT CFW OR JB (IF YOU HAVE OFW) BUT YOU HAVE TO RESIGN THE SAVE FOLDER INCLUDING YOUR EDITED APP.DATA FILE TOGETHER SO IT COULD WORK

[Note for Pulsian Pioneer:] Head down to the ramp and go to the hut in the middle by going up the stairs, inside the hut, theres a examine button near the table, click it and a cutscene will come reassembling the robot. Afterwards, it gives you items then talk to the Robot again fully, you should get this trophy.

[Note for 5 Star All Missions:] Go to Achrylote Steppe (Central Expense), and initate the first mission which is the 001. Pond Swamp (or something like that), find him (go to youtube if trouble), kill him by getting 5 stars, then it should pop 7~9 trophies including 5 Star trophy, NOTE: DO THE STEPS ABOVE AND YOU SHOULD GET THOSE IN THE PARENTHESIS AND EVERYTHING ELSE AS IT GAVE ME EVERYTHING FOR 100% PLAT, TRY THE NOTE ABOVE GUARANTEED 100% oh and I forgot use either the Loremaster save or the All Roles to lvl.5 save, see if its either of them that makes the trophy above pop or if not try the rest of the non-mission save to see which one of them pops this. [(L'Cie Paragon, Galuf's Grail, Dorgann's Trophy, Natural Selector, Xezat's Chalice, etc...)]

[Additional Note for Master Seal, 5 Star All Missions and Adamant Will save:]
Go on a chocobo (assuming your in Central Expense) and dig some item up and you should get Gysahl Wreath and for Limit Breaker, start the Inf. Stats PKG (assuming you have been for all these saves), load this save, go customize paradigrams to RAV/RAV/RAV or something to fast staggering, then go to Central Expense and face Long Gui or Shalaong Gui (the huge oilphants; LOTR reference Smile ) and stagger them and hopefully you'll get it, this may work and not work but you got keep trying as it took me couple of tries as well.

Part II-a: How-to Guide: FFXIII Superstar Save


///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
In order to get the Superstar Trophy (Gold):

[Note for Superstar:]
Step 1: First of all, do NOT use ANY PKG or anything of sort for 'enhancements'. Load up the save through Original Disc, do not change anything@! I mean it, the equipment, battle order or members, paradigms, etc. (change only the 'Thaumaturgy' in Paradigms to MED/MED/MED), then before you step into the battle with the very first boss, put on Fortisol and Aegisol Shroud before you proceed. When you start the battle, you can attack faster, Use the Espionage Paradigm first (Haste, etc.) then afterwards immediately change to RAV/RAV/RAV (Tri-Disaster) and stagger him to full, then when staggered, go change to COM/COM/COM and kill him fast, if you didn't repeat RAV/RAV/RAV and COM/COM/COM (if you need to heal use MED/MED/MED)

Step 2: When you beat the first boss, it goes to that f***ing Sword piece of Sh** boss (why the swearing? his merciless judgement killed me MANY times!), Use Espionage Paradigm for Haste and what not (try have haste on everybody or at least one member QUICKLY!), but if he uses Merciless Judgement before you do that then go MED/MED/MED (if he damaged you hard, which I know it always does) and heal everyone then switch back to Espionage quickly, get at least haste on Lightning and one other member (e.g. Fang; if you already got at least one haste, skip but preferable to have two), then immediately switch to RAV/RAV/RAV and try staggering him (but anytime between staggering him or even after stagger, don't afraid to use MED/MED/MED then continue; of course importantly ALWAYS MED to FULLY if your health bar is BLINKING before or after his Merciless Judgement or his normal attacks or its useless for you to continue!!!), then after Stagger, go to COM/COM/COM and try bring him down, but if during, your health is low, heal fully rather than trying to attack him full blast before stagger goes away, you got time. Repeat these steps, then you should kill him with 5 stars (always remember, when staggering kill him QUICKLY as you can, but again, if your health is blinking or near blinking HEAL FULLY!)

Step 3: This is where it counts, when starting use Espionage Paradigm for Haste and what not, then quickly change to RAV/RAV/RAV and stagger him quickly! then after stagger immediately COM/COM/COM to kill this asshat (you should kill him in matter of seconds by my save) and enjoy the 5 stars and *Ding* Superstar, (don't worry about death count, nor healing as this boss doesn't dole out as much damage as previous one; just stagger him fast! and kill him fast)

Part III: FFXIII-2 Saves for trophy and others

/////FFXIII-2 Saves (US or EU)\\\\\

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I. FFXIII-2 Saves (Non-Mission; ongoing update)

SPECIAL NOTE: ALL OTHER TROPHY SAVES OTHER THAN BELOW CAN BE OBTAINED THROUGH THE "1~10 TROPHY..." SAVE BELOW, USING THAT SAVE, GO ON TO THIS SITE @ You must login or register to view this content. ,SEE THE TIPS NEXT TO THE TROPHY NEXT TO ONES YOU NEED, GOT MY PLAT USING THESE TIPS.

-->Clockstopper: You must login or register to view this content.
You must login or register to view this content.
-->All 1~10 Trophies Unlock: You must login or register to view this content.
You must login or register to view this content. (See Blue Note below)

[Note for Clockstopper:] Just go do a single Pre-Emptive Strike on monsters, as well as doing it during or after battle as it should pop up and as a added bonus you might some other trophies (cant say at the moment) if this is the first time using this save (thanks Kyoshiro)

[Note for All 1~10 Trophies Unlock:]
-Choco-boco-holic: Try buying something from the store, I have 100Million gil.
-Stagering: Try Staggering Someone.
-Wild Thing: Use a single Feral Link
-Strategist: Perform a Paradigm Shift
-Giants Fist: Go deal 99,999 damage to an enemy! Quite easy with my chars.
-Defragmented and Fragmented: I went to Academia 500AF and just finished the story line from there and watched secret ending for both trophies to pop, (rare occurrance: Just went to Academia 500AF and screwed around and got these out of the blue but it is rare, try it...it might work or might not work)
-Anomalous: Same as Defrag. and Frag., just finish the story line from there and watch secret ending.
-Serendipitous: Go to the Casino and go to the chocobo race hut and win a race (recommended: use the silver chocobo, you can't lose (most of the time) even though during race he lags, just give a push every so seconds in the race and he will come through as 1st place but sometimes it doesn't cooperate to 1st place :( but try it.
-Saddle Sore: Go to any area and mount a chocobo (lol its not what it sounds like), once mounted go around the place with the chocobo, screw around for a mean while (I would say 1-3 mins not mere seconds) then jump off to get a trophy to pop.

-Note: [Original Save]: Gets you everything above
[Mirror-just in case]: Gets everything above except the guarantee of getting serendipitous and saddle sore (don't know if you get trophies for these two using this save)

[Note for All 1~10 Trophies Unlock BONUS Beast Tamer Trophy:] This might give you a little bit more trophies than stated above, Necronzero (his credit for the 1~10 trophies save), if you try befriend a Don Tonberry, you might get a Beast Tamer Trophy (assuming you never encounter a Tonberry nor captured it with your pokeballs). Follow this step to get Beast Tamer Trophy Easy: go to Bresha Ruins AF100 a little to the west of the area where Atlas stood in Bresha Ruins AF005, he appears like a "void" when attacked. Getting a "Battle Mania" Fragment Skill from Serendipity (Chocobo Girl) after earning the "Paradox Professor" Fragment from City of Academia AF400, which requires 100% Map Completion for all areas in the game will increase your chance of getting this monster to spawn at least more than 58% or even 89% of the time (more than half all the time). Additionally, turning on the "Monster Collector" Fragment Skill will increase the odds of befriending monsters. Monster Collector can be unlocked via the Chocobo Girl in Serendipity after all Fragments from Vile Peaks AF010 & AF200 have been earned. You can feel free to battle Don Tonberry on Easy Difficulty; it will increase the odds of your victory and will not adversely affect the odds of befriending him. If you do not befriend him the first time, wait until he spawns again and continue to battle him over and over until he is recruited; it took me 3 tries without Monster Collector.

Part IV: FFXIII-2 Hex Editing for in-game stats (similar to FFXIII PKG)

/////FFXIII-2 Hex Edit Method (STATUS: WORKS)\\\\\

STEPS (HD pictures coming soon):

1. Get any hex editor (I'm using 010 Editor or HxD <---- this one is easier than 010)
2. Get your FFXIII-2 save and transfer to desktop
3. Open your hex editor (right click and run as Admin!) and open up your APP.DAT from your save
4. To edit (I'm using HxD in this case) (OFFSETS ARE BELOW THIS EX.)

EX. I'm going to edit Noel's CPMAX offset
You must login or register to view this content.

above is where the offset is
DO NOT FIND OFFSET 000342F1 EXACTLY, go down to 000342F0 then on the top of the Hex Editor you'll see:
"00 01 02 03 04 ... 09 0A ...." (so on), in the offset 000342F0 hover over to 01 (not the first one, the second one)
and highlight the two digits on that spot and type FF and you should see FF in red colors (its means you did it right) [see below]
You must login or register to view this content.

So I just showed you how, do that for the offset down there, this should be a no-brainer (please its not that difficult ok? I just "laymaned" it down for you)
so again if your finding like offset 00036C91 (Serah's CP MAX), look for 00036C90, the last number in 00036C91, its refering to 01 column.

-->Here are the offsets (these are for now):

Noel
Offset 342F1: Cpmax
Offset 342F5: equipment capacity
Offset 342F9: HPMAX
Offset 34309: Attack
Offset 34315: Magic attack power

Serah
Offset 36C91: Cpmax
Offset 36C95: equipment capacity
Offset 36C99: HPMAX
Offset 36CA9: Attack
Offset 36CB5: Magic attack power

Items
Offset 4F3CSad Awesome: FF Key Items First line, Item on the left
Offset 4A27Sad Awesome: FF Items First line, Item on the left
Offset 4DAC7:: FF Components First line, Item on the left
Offset 54F17:: FF Specialty Items First line, Item on the left
Offset 5531Sad Awesome: 11 Monster Materials First line, Item on the left
Offset 4DAC7:: FF multiplies the amount of component item in first slot of left column


5. After all editing, go to File-->SAVE (DO NOT DO "SAVE AS", it has to created a APP.DAT.BAK)
6. Go to the Save Folder that it saved to, Delete the APP.DAT.BAK
7. Put the Save Folder into a USB (an empty one) or a PSP
8. Copy Over
9. Load FF13-2, open Voila

[Note 1:] For me I had some troubles with "FILE CORRUPT" or "Data is Corrupted...." in the xmb, so do the steps above,
the reason I got that in the xmb is that I used a USB (Cruzier Micro 1gb) filled with my ubuntu shit and it didn't work, so use a empty usb that works
with your PS3, recommended: PSP

[Note 2:] Do not change the folder name like ex. "blus23884372-01" to ""blus23884372-02" (if you saved originally as Save Data 2
then leave the folder name as it is especially the last two digit after the "-")

[Note 3:] IF you encounter a "Data is corrupt" or some shit WHEN IN THE GAME, use a working medium such as what I
stated above and all the notes above this, also remember to click SAVE, not SAVE AS in order to get a APP.DAT.BAK

Thanks for the hard work.
Will I put myself in danger if I used save files to earn a trophy?
Or is it safe?
Because I missed one trophy and it's really hard to get it back.
