We are currently in a New Game+ to earn outstanding trophies. Previously, Lightning raided some treasures in Luxerion. She also went to the Dead Dunes and picked up treasures in the Giant's Sandbox area. Now to make her way to Ruffian.

Along the corridor to the Grave of the Colossi, she picks up a Pilgrim's Crux (time 2:44). Soul Seed tally: 6.

In the Grave of the Colossi, she activates the Red Cactuar statue at the Grave of the Colossi Shrine (time 5:29).

Beneath the massive ribcage, she grabs some Bhakti's Oil (time 5:40).

In the southwest, she uses a Pilgrim's Crux to lower the sandstorm (time 6:11). On the hill beyond, she slays some Goblots and gets an Arithmometer (time 7:06).

At the southern end of the hill, she opens a treasure ball with 4 EP (time 9:35). It upgrades her Silk Scarf to a Silk Scarf+. It now increases ATB Recovery by 17. This is accessory upgrade #4.

On the way to Ruffian, she finds a treasure ball in a ruined building (time 11:31). It once held Earth Eater Notes, but now it holds a Crystal Medal.

Atop the western stairs, a treasure ball once contained the Serenity Sachet (time 11:51). Now it contains 1,500 gil.

At the southern end of the plateau to the east of Ruffian, a treasure ball upgrades the Corsair Scarf to a Corsair Scarf+ (time 12:27). It now has Defender Lv. 2. Accessory upgrade #5.

Afterwards, it is the end of Day 1, so Lightning is sucked back up to the Ark to offer her Eradia to Yggdrasil (time 13:15). Looks like Light got a one-day extension, at least.

Now, the Crystal of Atonement appears on the Ark (time 15:04). This handy-dandy tool allows Light to rewind time to the first day, as with a New Game+. This allows her to do it at will.

The treasure cube contains 10 Mighty Materials (time 16:26).

Apparently, Lightning must talk with Hope about Main Quests and Side Quests before she can beam down again.

Afterwards, the warp device is unlocked, so Lightning beams back down to Ruffian in the Dead Dunes (time 20:28). Her regularly scheduled trip is marred by a commercial interruption from Lumina. Even though I know what she is, she still seems creepy in these scenes.

Back in Ruffian, Lightning activates the Red Cactuar statue for Ruffian (time 25:16).

In the compound, she talks with Adonis, Fang's majordomo, to begin "Adonis's Audition" (time 25:28). She will have to talk to him a second time and say "Yes" to get the quest.

On the coumpound's second level, she finds a treasure ball that once contained Gurangatch Notes (time 28:07). Now it holds a Crystal Medal.

At Tobias's item shop, she gets a Bhakti's Oil (time 28:31).

Then, after teleporting to Near God's Wrath in the Giant's Sandbox, she heads north and defeats the Gurangatch at the sandstorm (time 30:49). She dispels the sandstorm with the crux that drops.

Back in Ruffian, she talks to Adonis to complete "Adonis's Audition" and meet the boss (time 34:38). Yay, Fang joins Lightning! At least in the Dead Dunes.

When she chats with Tobias and has sold some stuff, she learns about Ramon and discovers the quest "Old Rivals" (time 42:04).

At the Ruins North Gate, she takes care of the quest "His Wife's Dream" with Ramon (time 43:53). Fortunately, she had already gotten the Arithmometer.

Back at Ruffian, she concludes "Old Rivals" (time 47:57).

Then, she heads off to get treasures in the Dry Floodlands. On the southeastern ledge, she nabs another Pilgrim's Crux (time 53:45).

In the south, a treasure ball once contained the Star Bracelet (time 54:47). Now, it contains 1,500 gil.

In front of the Shrine of the Tablet, she activates the Red Cactuar statue for the Dry Floodlands Shrine (time 57:19). Then, she signs off.
