If you are very familiar with Adamantoise's patterns, you can completely bypass Stage 2 if you want (this method being much faster) and aim for just a bit more HP to get to this stage. Also, you can use this method in lieu of the Stage 3 method if you are having trouble bumping up Fang's Strength high enough to Highwind the legs quickly (and don't have or want to spend the money and materials to upgrade a Tier 3 weapon).

Done with a Bladed Lance/Glaive to show the general irrelevance of weapons, but I do NOT recommend Taming Pole/Venus Gospel. Stagger Lock is an absolute no-no.

The only differences between this and Stage 3 in terms of protocol:
- Fang has Power Glove x2 instead of Sprint Shoes + Morale Talisman
- One turn of Espionage inserted at the start of battle to get Bravera + Haste on Fang.

Caveat:
- If he manages to get in his first stomp with the RIGHT leg before Fang can buff herself on the first turn, you may want to retry. This is because you'll be set to Highwind the right leg just as he raises it again, which is problematic.

UPDATE:
I recommend this Paradigm deck for easy navigation.

1. SYN/COM/RAV (Vanille as COM)
2. RAV/RAV/RAV
3. COM/MED/MED
4. SYN/SAB/SAB
5. RAV/RAV/RAV
6. COM/COM/SAB
Progression is 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 to 6. Simple, no?
