Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII side quest guide
The Life of a Machine
Bhakti is quite the little thing
The oil in Shrine of the Tablet: Atomos’ Sands is pretty close to the location’s entrance
This giant skeleton is hard to miss when you’re next to the Grave of the Colossi
You can also get the oil at Tobias’ store
Who you get it from: Bhakti, in the Sacred Grove of the Temple Ruins. He’s best accessible via the North Gate or by Cactuar-teleporting to the Sacred Gate. Note: You do not need to speak to Bhakti first in order to collect the items he needs. This is good to know especially when you have a three-day time limit after you formally start the quest.
When you can obtain the quest: Any time.
Rewards for completion: Cyber Scanners x1, Max HP +80, Strength +4, Magic +4
Instructions for completion: Bhakti is in search of three Bhakti’s Oils. You can get all three if you look at the base of the Oasis Lighthouse. Otherwise, you can find four more here: 1) Inside the Shrine of the Tablet: Dry Floodlands, 2) inside the Shrine of the Tablet: Atomos’ Sands, 3) under a skeleton near Shrine of the Tablet: Grave of the Colossi, 4) at Tobias’ store in Ruffian.
Hand over the oils to Bhakti, who will then lead you to a door you must enter. Look at the skeleton at the corner of the room where you’ll receive some items. After this interaction, speak to Bhakti to complete the quest.
