Single Crystarium, No Accessory Upgrades, No Ultimate Weapons challenge.

Snow - Paladin - Silver Bangle - Warriors Bracelet
Airwing or Vidofnir (Vidofnir if you can obtain it at this point) - Tungsten Bangle x2

My other 2 Doctors Code's were taken at this point but it doesn't matter, the other 2 teams needed them alot more but that means you need to rely on Hope to heal you, Potions without Doctors Code are somewhat useless imo, they should only be used as a last resort or you'll spend alot of time in the items menu and using up a lot of Potions, there's a good gil farming spot coming up though (Hope's house) if you need it, the enemies there drop Incentive Chips (Sell 2.5k each) and you just run around the corridor for them to respawn, just a tip there for anyone that may need it!

The only thing that makes this boss difficult is his Tail Hammer attack when he drops below 50% HP, he'll start to use it very often for large amounts of damage, he also attacks alot more faster at this point so your constantly curing and barely get much chance to attack, the only way to go about winning this fight without taking a long time with risk of dying constantly (Getting hit with a back to back Tail Hammer is never a good thing) is to get him to summon after he drops below 50% HP and finish him off with the shiva sisters.

Why take this challenge?

It's very challenging and doesn't require much grinding/farming, in fact gil farming isn't required, I never did it at all and only did a bit of CP grinding when I got to chapter 11.

Recomended Roles:

To clarify on single crystarium - This means you can only level 1 type of role, recommended roles are as follows:
Lightning - Com (Highly recommended)
Snow - Sen (100% must have)
Sazh - Syn (Could be changed - It isn't a must have but Haste is great until/if Hope learns at chapter 12 it if you take him the Syn route)
Hope - Syn (Highly recomended but may be able to be changed only for med)
Vanille - Sab (100% needed)
Fang - Com (Highly recommended)

Really Sazh or Hope are the only ones you may want to change (1 of them definately needs to be Syn though), the others are highly recommended though, Vanille needs Sab no matter what and same goes to Snow's Sen.

For those not sure about Sazh's and Hope's Syn's then Sazh gets Haste, Bravery and Faith early and he also gets En-spells (Enfire, Enblizzard, etc.) which are unique to him, Hope gets Protect and Shell early and Bar-spells (Barfire, Barthunder, etc.) are unique to him, each character learns the none unique spells come chapter 12.
