"Fragments are little nuggets of information like frozen shards of time. You just have to touch them to fill your head with what's inside, kupo. You see, they are made of the same crystal that's inside the Oracle Drive. That's how they hold memories and stories and so much more."
—Mog in Spinning Moonstone Fragment
Fragments are a gameplay element from Final Fantasy XIII-2. They can be obtained by various means, e.g.: progressing through the storyline, winning a certain battle, finding it hidden by time paradox where Mog's Moogle Hunt ability is needed to unveil it, or through discovering quests. The fragments are inscribed with tidbits of knowledge, folklore, and legends from the game.
When acquired, fragments can be traded in for special, unique skills, such as Paradox Scope, in Serendipity. Also, when quests are completed, CP is gained to help Noel and Serah advance in the Crystarium.
There are 160 fragments to collect in total, and there are several held in each time period. Fragments are organized into different categories, and collecting all of one allows the player to collect the Fragmented Trophy/Achievement. Collecting all 160 fragments allows acquisition of the Defragmented Trophy/Achievement.
