We are currently in a New Game+ to earn outstanding trophies. Lightning has just restored the Angel of Valhalla to full health. Now, he can help her get to numerous treasures around the Wildlands. They will be starting in the Grasslands.

From the northeast of the Grasslands, Lightning and the chocobo can get to the upper part of the City of Ruins. On the upper levels, the chocobo can glide across the ruined pieces of roadway so Lightning can reach the treasure ball (time 5:59). It costs 6 EP to open. It upgrades Lightning's Soul of Thamasa to the Soul of Thamasa+. It has Multicast, which increases the number of magic combo finales. It now reduces max HP by 50%, compared to the previous reduction of 66%. Accessory upgrade #17.

In the southwest of the Grasslands, south of the entrance to the Rocky Crag, Lightning and the chocobo can jump and glide over to a plateau. There, Light can find a treasure ball (time 18:03). It used to contain the Firewyrm Bracelet. Now, it contains 1,500 gil.

Lightning and the chocobo then exit southeast to Aryas Climb (time 21:48).

On a small western plateau, they can find an Aryas Apple (time 24:42).

At the front end of the Aryas Hill Ruin above Aryas Village, Light can find a treasure ball with the Key to the Green Gate (time 25:30).

Along the major route leading to the southwest, Lightning finds a treasure ball with the Beloved's Gift (time 27:05). This is given to Chocolina during Sazh's quest line.

In the eastern part of the Aryas Hill Ruin, a treasure ball contains a Fira Lv. 2 (time 28:00).

Along the long eastern plateau, there is an Aryas Apple (time 30:39). Also, there is a treasure ball (time 30:50). It upgrades the Flamebane Choker to the Flamebane Choker+. It now boosts fire resistance by 55%, rather than the original 50%. Accessory upgrade #18.

From the northern edge of Aryas Climb, Lightning can use her powered-up chocobo to glide to a bit of broken roadway in the southern Grasslands (time 33:15). The treasure ball there requires 2 EP to open. It upgrades the Witch's Rosary to a Witch's Rosary+. It has Sworn to the Staff, which restores ATB to standby schemata while using magic attacks. It now reduces physical resistance by 75%, as opposed to 100% before. Accessory upgrade #19.

By the entrance to Jagd Woods, Lightning meets the Hunter Hopeful (time 34:27). He issues the quest "The Right Stuff." After accepting his quest, she gives him 6 Vibrant Ooze (time 35:42). One of the rewards for this quest is a Mystical Meal for the chocobo.

In the woods, she finds several Luminous Mushrooms at night. There is also some Forest Fertilizer in the first open area (time 40:51). A second Forest Fertilizer is along the path to Jagd Village (time 42:02).

In Jagd Village, she talks with the Hunter Chief (time 42:23). He issues the quest "The Hunter's Challenge." First, he wants her to slay Valis and Hanumans to get 3 Monster Minces. Light can turn these in right away. Then, he will want her to get 1 AMP Chip from an Aster Protoflorian.

Then, at the Sorcery Shop, she performs some badly needed ability maintenance (time 45:10). She does some synthesis and level boosting to free some ability inventory.

Then, she turns in the AMP Chip to the Hunter Chief to conclude "The Hunter's Challenge" (time 56:43).
