(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alrighty, girls and boys. Here's a platinum save and Ultimate Starter Save with Elixirs! for the game Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.

You must login or register to view this content.

1. Resign the save to your profile and you're set. Param.sfo has been removed from the file.

2. The save was modified by Cyber Editor to give 999.999.999 gil, STR & MAG both at value of 5000, and ATB at max value of 200.

3. Time limit got you down? No problem, just chug an elixir, throw Chronostasis and you're good to go. There's 60000 more Elixirs where the first one came from.

4. The save is on fully completed 3rd round through the game. You have a ton of weapons, shields, accessories, decorations. Most importantly, all 71 in-game costumes are unlocked.

5. When you load the save, you'll be asked to choose a difficulty mode. Just pick whatever, and enjoy the game.

6. When you look into the garb collection, you may see some duplicates of Lightning's Equilibrium garb saying something like "Unindentified garb". These are the DLC garbs you may not yet have. Once you get them as DLC, they'll replace relevant "Unindentified garb" entry. Same for abilities, weapons, shields and adornments. This does not cause any problem with you playing the game.

7. Regarding the trophies, you can get these within few hours of playing (TESTED):
- Miracle of Light (use Chronostasis ability once)
- Seeing Stars (achieve a stagger on an enemy once)
- Fatal Impact (deal 99999+ damage in one strike)
- Perfect Timing (guard one enemy's attack with perfect guard)
- Hero of Might, Hero of Glory, Hero of Legend (kill one more enemy)
- Novice Stylist (customize a schema by setting a garb, weapon and shield)
- Novice Artist (change the color of one of your garbs)
- Novice Swordsmith, Expert Swordsmith (go to any weapon shop and upgrade any of your weapons once [may require more than once, in which case upgrade in increments of one unit])
- Novice Shieldsmith, Expert Shieldsmith (go to any weapon shop and upgrade any of your shields once [may require more than once, in which case upgrade in increments of one unit])
- Novice Synthesist, Expert Synthesist (go to any magic shop and synthesize any two abilities once)
- Novice Craftsman, Expert Craftsman (for this one you have to find a treasure ball that contains an accessory; in case you already picked it up in one of previous playthroughs, it'll be upgraded and trophies ding)
- Perfect Passenger (ride any train once)
- Seed Collector (collect one more Soul Seed - you find these in Chaos zones, which are like black domes)
- Queen of the Arena (win one more arena battle)
- Deliverer of Salvation, Angel of Salvation (clear one more side quest)
- Harbinger of Death, Goddess of Death (defeat Noel in Luxerion)
- A helping hand (clear 1 more request on Canvas of Prayers)

7. Trophies you get by playing through the game a bit longer, like 10+ hours:
- Crimson Rebirth (when in final dungeon, complete all four trials and then collect Ultima Sword and Ultima Shield in middle of the room)
- The Chocobo's Savior (nurse the chocobodin back to full health)
- Globetrotter (clear three specific Canvas of Prayers quests, which appear on Day 9)
- The Savior's Descent, The Hope of a Promise, Hope at the Edge of Despair, The Mystery of a Holy Clavis, An Appetite for Chaos, Beyond Thirteen, [A Father, a Son, and a Chocobo] are all storyline trophies. Note that for [Beyond Thirteen] trophy you have to complete a specific amount of sidequests - the number is currently unknown to me, though the more stars a quest has, the better. About 50 sidequests should be enough for the trophy.
- Unearthly Apothecary (obtain an Elixir - get one by trading in 100 Soul Seeds)

8. Trophies you can't get with this save:
- Expert Stylist (obtain 30+ garbs)

Small trophy set for four trophies
You must login or register to view this content.

1.) Load up save 34. You're in Ultimate Lair just before Ereshkigal. Kill it for these trophies:
- Monster Bane (kill Ereshkigal)
- Holy Garb of Destruction (obtain Ultimatus)

2.) Load up save 35. Just SW of your position is a distortion which is Aeronite. Kill it for:
- Desert Dragonslayer (kill Aeronite in Dead Dunes)

3.) Load up save 36. It's saved before final boss. Kill it for:
- A Legend from Times Past (defeat final boss)

Perfect Starter Save with max gil and 65535 Elixirs!

You must login or register to view this content.

On this save you will be almost invincible. Lighty begins the game on Day 1 in the Ark, on Normal difficulty. You have 999.999.999 gil, and what's most important is that you have 65535 Elixirs assigned to slot 1 of your recovery items. That means you can keep chugging down Elixirs like no tomorrow, allowing you to abuse Overclock and Chronostasis. Boss a problem? No problem, chug down an Elixir from my super save and you're a problem for the boss now. Hehe.Smile

Have fun playing the game, folks.

But how do you do that when the FFXIII save is locked? How do you get the profile save to apply to the save given here? I can't figure out how to get my online id from PSN to apply it to this save. Please help!

When I add my param.sfo to your first file and copy the file to my PS3 I get a continue option at the main menu, but I get a message saying, "You have loaded save data created by another user. you will not be able to obtain trophies......." when I click continue. On the other hand when I do the same thing and change the title/region code to my digital version and the version changes from JP to US the continue option is not available on the main menu. Please can someone help me!

Autosave data can only be used to overwrite current save data" when I click continue. On the other hand when I do the same thing and change the title/region code to my digital version and the version changes from JP to US the continue option is not available on the main menu. Please can someone help me!

Did exactly what you said and there was no continue option on my main menu. How did you get it to work on yours? I don't change regions and get the continue, but get a message saying it's another users' save. I cannot figure out what is going on and this is the first time in many resigns that I have had this much trouble. Going on 3+ hours trying to figure it out.

Thank you for replying! So there is no way for this save to work on Bruteforce? I am using the unlocked save given by Selvaria and I had two things happen, 1. I don't change the title/region code and resign it to my profile and get the continue option at the main menu BUT, it gives me a message saying it's someone else's save and I can't earn trophies or save. 2. I do change the title/region code and resign it, BUT then the continue option is gone and I don't get to use the modded save. If there is anyway you could do the saves for this title/region code: NPUB-31173 I would GLADLY appreciate it. I have not run into any issues before resigning saves from other regions and other profiles. If you do decide to help me could you write details like you did for the responses. BTW what is BSD?
