Luxerion, the first major area in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII includes a total of 13 Canvas of Prayers quests, you can complete if you wish to improve Lightning’s stats, and earn additional rewards such as adornments and Gil.
Most Canvas of Prayers quests in Luxerion dont require specific items, but to complete you need various materials that can be obtained by killing the beasts within the city; thus, you should focus on them the moment you start the video game.
The Luxerion Canvas of Prayers Quests are unlocked gradually, and can be activated by talking to Chocolina near the North Station, or to the one in Luxerion’s South Station.
The following Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII guide reveals the complete list of Canvas of Prayers quests available in Luxerion, providing additional details on how to start them, and where you should look for the ingredients required for every Canvas of Prayers side-quest in the city.
Quest 1: Revenge Is Sweet

Quest 2: Inventive Seamstress

I wonder if youve heard of the liquid glass that can be harvested from Meonektons. I think it would make a perfect coating for cloth it would give the material a beautiful glossy sheen and make dirt and stains just fall away. Id love to try it out. But how am I going to get a sample?

Quest 4: A Song For God
Description:
