Return to the 12th Floor of Augusta Tower

final-fantasy-13-2

I'm working on the mission in Final Fantasy XIII-2 which requires you to bring fully explored maps to someone in Academia -400 AF-.

Sometime after exploring all I could of Augusta Tower -200 AF-, I noticed I acquired a Key Item called Access Key 13. Using this key to explore the 13th Floor of Augusta Tower -300 AF-, I was able to reach 99% map completion.

Much to my dismay, I discovered a sliver of unexplored area on the 12th Floor. The problem is, when I try to use the elevator to head down there, I get the message, "Access key 13 confirmed," and it sends me to the 13th Floor. If I try from there, I get the same message and am sent back to the 15th Floor.

Can I ever return to the 12th Floor, or is the completionist in me doomed to cry a little?

It is actually reachable right now, you don't have to close the gate to reach the 12th floor.

Go to the 15th floor
Take the mini elevator from the 15th down to the 14th
Then take the big elevator in the middle down to the 12th.

Find and tame Chichu

According to the strategy guide, you can find Chichu in the Archlyte Steppe -??? AF-. In order to get its crystal, you need the Improved Moogle Throw fragment skill. If you have it, throw Mog into a patch of red flowers on the Plains of Eternity.

Because the Chichu monster crystal is one of a few only found using Mog, you don't fight it, so you could theoretically be any level as long as you have the improved Moogle Throw (which you get with the Mog's Manifestation fragment) and access to the Archlyte Steppe -??? AF-.

Where Can I Find the “Tameable” Chocobos

Here are my findings. Note that almost all of these are rare spawns and not always easy to tame. In my experience the Red Chocobo was the easiest to obtain and also the first you'll have access to.

     Name            Growth Type   Max  Obtained                      Note
COM  Chocobo         Late Bloomer   99  Tame - Archylte Steppe ???AF

SAB  Black Chocobo   Late Bloomer   99  Tame - Vile Peaks 10AF
SYN  Purple Chocobo  Late Bloomer   99  Tame - Bresha Ruins 300AF       *5

Seems to appear most often during sunny weather in grassy sections of the map (eastern half).
Found in a treasure chest.
On the western side of the map in the marshes. Weather doesn't seem to affect his appearance or spawn rate.
You have to use Moogle Throw on a green orb machine in Academy HQ. Keep tossing Mog in until he finds it.
Only spawns in the snowy areas (not the tunnels), and seems to be more often when you're near a Rambunctious Chocobo. Watch out for Tonberry while searching for Purple Chocobo.
