Help FFXIII: How do I fuck the Adamantoise up the ass?

[Catnip]

I'm asking this for someone who's a noob at this game, and I haven't even tried to kill the stupid thing, so I can't help him out.

Anyways. He wants to kill the Adamantoise, but he can't. His main party is Lightning, Hope and Fang. I'm not sure if that tells you anything, but anyways.

Basically, what he wants to know if there are any tricks or tips or what the fuck ever to kick his ass. He said something about destroying the two legs, but is that it? Can you inflict some kind of skill on him or is he immune to everything?

And yeah, the title is what it is to get people to click this thread. Hi, guys, hey.

With great difficulty

And assuming they have beaten the game, you can use Vanille, summon to knock it's legs out and then spam death till it decides to work. It's the easiest way until you're powerful enough to beat it by force anyway.

Thanks, sweet cheeks. He says he'll try that out. Hopefully it'll work. If you happen to come across any other tips, just post them on over here~

btw, we should d8

We clearly should d8 Catnip we have so much in common

When ye can take it down by force, I strongly advise the Tortoise Paradigm (3 Sentinels) it should shave off a lot of damage, i'd advise it for when you have a party with 15000 HP or above also, it's susceptible to almost every status effect, so you can make good use of the Saboteur as well to your advantage.

Make sure you don't do all the missions in that circle. Doing that will boost the big ass giants far tougher then they are now. If I had a chance to go back and leave at least 1 of those missions undone I would have.

Also make sure you deprotect and deshell it when you summon..........that way you can inflict more damage.........thats if you can't normally kill it with its legs you should kill it while its legs are paralyzed........or else it will get back up and you'll have to take out its legs again or build up TP to summon again which is a bitch of a task especially on the tougher ones.

Shit son. That sucks. Thanks for sharing your knowledge though. Bro would be a goner without you.

You could always have him do the Death trick (with Vanille as the lead). Summon her eidolon to take it's legs out, then get as many debuffs on it as possible. She should also be using the Belladonna Wand (or Malboro Wand which is the upgraded form).

If you have a party of Vanille, Fang, and Hope, you can have Fang lay down the debuffs as a Saboteur, and Hope can get at least Haste on Vanille (for quicker Death spamming).


If you wanna do it normally, then I can't tell you. I've only managed to beat the weakest ones (Adamanchelids) normally. The best thing I can recommend is get pretty far in at least the primary three roles of each character (in this case Lightning, Fang, and Hope). And definitely use a Librascope or use libra a few times to at least get the weaknesses (so your Ravagers and Saboteurs don't waste their time with spells that will have little to no effect). Beyond that, I don't know.
