Final Fantasy 13-2 Serendipitous Achievement Guide

Learn how to use the slot machines and chocobo racing in Final Fantasy 13-2 to become rich and earn the Serendipitous achievement

If you want to unlock Final Fantasy 13-2 Serendipitous Achievement, you need to earn a total of 10,000 coins from Chocobo Racing or Slot Machines in the Serendipity Casino (Exchanging Gil for Casino Coins doesn’t count towards this achievement/trophy).

In this guide, we will show you how to earn the Serendipitous achievement with ease in FF13-2.

Final Fantasy 13-2 Serendipitous Achievement

If you want to earn them by playing Chocobo Racing, go for Gold Chocobo that can be found in a treasure chest in A Dying World AF700. Level it up to 45 (Max) and it would be a force to reckon with on the race track. Or you can earn 10,000 coins from Slot Machines but that is highly random and subjected to your LUCK.

It is recommended that you go for Slot Machines because either way you will need Lucky Coin fragment from 777 Jackpots on Slot Machines; it’s a requirement for 160 Fragments. Slot Machines are pretty much effortless to play.

Use a rubber band to hold down and leave it overnight. In the morning, if you have won 10,000 coins and Lucky Coin fragment, well and good. If not, load a previous save and start over.

Finally, rewards from Slot Machines are higher than Chocobo Racing so it is well-worth the risk.

Keep in mind that it is the NET GAIN of 10,000 coins that will be counted so if you have lost some of the coins it is recommended to load some previous save as mentioned above, it will be easy to amass 10,000 coins this way much quicker.

Plus, if the luck is on your side you can easily amass roughly from 5000 – 50,000 coins from slot machine in victory and super victory modes. Trophy will unlock after exiting the chocobo racing or slot machine once the requirement has been satisfied.

Remember, you need to win 10,000 Coins not earn. Your final coins count should be 10,000 coins more than your starting number e.g. You start with 5,000 coins and end by 15,000 coins.

How To Play On Slot Machines
Talk to NPC next to Slot Machine and she will tell you that slot machine actually has its mood. Good mood means higher chance to get the jackpot.

When NPC tells you she is not in good mood, exit the building and re-enter. When NPC says something nice about the weather (mood), give it a go!

Now, use a rubber band to hold LB button to keep the machine running. This way you will eventually get the jackpot (777), which will prompt the machine to enter a ‘Break’ mode and then in ‘Overbreak’ mode. Overbreak mode is your window of opportunity because you have 10 times more chance of getting a jackpot.

Wait for Jackpot rounds in Overbreak mode, each win will give you 5,000 coins. Keep wining til you have recovered what you lost and WON 10,000 coins on top of that. Keep trying until you do that.

Once you have WON 10,000 coins, exit the slot machine and achievement will pop-up. Remember, you may have to win 10,000 coins in one go or achievement will not pop-up.
