How to unlock the Endings of the Paradoxes

In Final Fantasy XIII-2 it is possible to see alternative endings. Most paradox endings require that you finish the main story at least once in order to gain the Paradoscope Privilege. At this point you will have to go back in time and unlock some previously blocked areas and end the objective / clash with the enemy on duty to view the alternative ending!

Below I list the endings of the paradoxes:

END OF PARADOXES - THE HEIR OF CHAOS

This End of the Paradoxes can only be obtained after finishing the main adventure as it requires the Paradoscope Privilege which will be used to reach the "Dying World"

END OF PARADOXES - FATE AND FREEDOM

In order to unlock this end of the paradoxes you must during the conversation with Lightning at the dock select "YES" during the Reflection. By doing so you will get the “Destiny and Freedom” Transcript Fragment that you will need to use in the Crux History.

END OF PARADOXES - A TIMELESS SKY

This End of the Paradoxes can only be obtained after finishing the main adventure as it requires the Paradoscope Privilege, this too is unlocked in the crux historia but I recommend that you have the characters of at least 6000 pv.

END OF PARADOXES - THE FUTURE IS HOPE

This End of the Paradoxes can only be obtained after finishing the main adventure as it requires the Paradoscope Privilege. At this point you must activate, then the Paradoscope and close the portal of Academya 4XX DD at the Historia Crux.

END OF PARADOXES - A GIANT MISTAKE

On your first visit to the Ruins of Bersah 5DD, you defeated Atlas, using the control device to weaken him. But if you come back for a second visit, there will be the possibility of engaging in a lethal fight, I advise you to be at a high enough level as the fight will be challenging.

END OF PARADOXES - THE TRUTH OF VANILLE

This End of the Paradoxes can only be obtained after finishing the main adventure as it requires the Paradoscope Privilege. This will also unlock via the Historia Crux!

Privilege Guide

Only when you have unlocked the Serendipity destination within Historia Crux will it be possible to go from that moment to the "Mystic". The building will be located southwest of the Temptation Square at which point you can acquire your first Privileges. As the game progresses, upon reaching each Milestone you will have the opportunity to acquire different and increasingly useful privileges for the advancement of the story.
