Make the rounds in the area and speak to all of Serah’s friends. After talking to Yuj, Lebreau, Maqui, and Gadot and participating in the respective Live Trigger Events, enter the NORA house. A cutscene will play. After the cutscene, collect the chest that appears by the rocks to get rewarded for your decisions in the Live Trigger Events.
Walk out to the pier, where you’ll see Lightning. Speak to her to begin another cutscene. A Live Trigger Event occurs, to which you should respond “Yes” if you intend to play the game again and receive different endings. After your conversation with Lighting, you will obtain a Fragment and be transported automatically back to the Historia Crux. Go to the Hollow Seclusion area to speak with Lightning again. This time, select “No” in the Live Trigger Event.
Another cutscene will play, and you’ll be back in New Bodhum. Watch out; the area is now inhabited by powerful Cie’th. Go to the Meteorite Impact Site area where you found your first Gate to advance the story, being careful of the Cie’th that will inevitably appear along the way. The Pantopodo and Pleuston enemies are especially dangerous, as they are typically found in later sections of the game but will rarely appear in New Bodhum as well. If you encounter these enemies, which look just like Nektons upon first glance, it’s best to leave them be.
Once you’ve reached the Meteorite Impact Site area, approach the middle of the area to initiate a cutscene. After watching the events unfold, circle the area to find chests in the southeast and north sides of the crater area. These will contain the Fang’s Crown Fragment and the Vanille’s Fruit Fragment, each of which will give you 600 experience points. Now you may head into the distortion field in the center of the impact crater to advance the story. You’ll end up back in the Historia Crux. Choose to proceed to A Dying World.
