Final Fantasy XIII - How to Beat Adamantoise Fair and Square
28No death. No shrouds. No summons. No showing off.\nThere are too many videos on Youtube showing how you can beat the Adamantoise in less than 3 minutes with overpowered characters and weapons. Here I will actually explain to you how you can effectively take out the legs as quickly as possible, while mainly focusing on defense.\n\nBecause my stats are high and I'm already in Crystarium Stage 10, I've equipped myself with the crappiest unupgraded weapons I have on hand.\nThis strategy is one I came up with myself, without the help of any guides. So please excuse me if some of the choices I made seem foolish in the eyes of elite players.\n\nRequirements:\n1) You beat the game.\n2) You can survive a stomp attack or two.\n3) Level 5 sentinel & saboteur on Fang.\n4) Level 5 synergist on Hope or maybe Sazh\n2) Level 5 ravager & commando on at least 2 characters.\n\nRecommended:\n1) Level 5 ravager & commando on all characters.\n2) Accessories to reduce earth damage.\n3) Accessories to reduce the chance of stop.\n3) Quick Stagger\n\nParadigm:\nFang/Hope/Lightning\nRAv/RAv/RAv\nSEN/SYN/MED (Default)\nSEN/MED/MED\nSAB/RAV/COM\nCOM/COM/COM\n\n!!!IMPORTANT!!!\nOnce the leg is staggered, pay close attention to the chain gauge. Most people will NOT be able to take out the leg until the chain gauge reaches a certain amount. The higher the chain gauge, the higher damage you will be able to inflict. For me, it is about 600%, but it will vary depending on your stats. Take some time to figure out what percentage you need and remember it. Keep attacking it until you reach 600% or whatever it is, then quickly change to COM/COM/COM and use Highwind to take out the leg in a single hit.\n\nImmediately after Highwind connects, switch to SEN/MED/MED and heal like crazy. If you have low stats you might not survive the next stomp. While you're healing, use auto-battle to challenge the Adamantoise until it blinks red, then cancel the remaining commands and use auto-battle again on its other leg. \n\n!!!IMPORTANT!!!\nPlay as sentinel the smart way. Don't spam Mediguard! After you use it, you're locked in a vulnerable position for a few seconds. After you take out the first leg, your party will most likely be in critical condition. Without protection, a single stomp can wipe you out. To properly guard against attacks, keep your finger ready and watch the legs carefully. As soon as you see either leg lift up, immediately use auto-battle/Mediguard. Right after the stomp hits, cancel out so that you are ready to guard the next attack.
