Final Fantasy XIII Playthrough - Part 213, Adamantortoises and Adamantoises
This is the 213th video in my Final Fantasy XIII playthrough. In this video, the party starts truly farming Adamantortoises and Adamantoises for Platinum Ingots and Trapezohedrons. I owe this method to Arthellinus's Postgame Guide and Adamantoise/Shaolong Gui Guide on GameFAQs. At the time of recording this video, I'm just starting to farm these monsters, so I don't have much practice yet. Also, I don't have any maxed Gaian Rings yet. I just have two low-level Clay Rings and an Earth Charm. From my experience, I would recommend maxing the Clay Rings to Gaian Rings BEFORE starting this work. Earth Charm absorbs Earth attacks, but only part of the time. For this method to work, Snow MUST know Daze from the Saboteur role.
Step 1: Fang applies Haste and Protectra to everyone in the Convalescence paradigm. Step 2: The party staggers one leg in the Tri-disaster paradigms. Get the chain gauge up around 750 (Adamantoise). Step 3: Have Fang use Highwind to destroy the leg. Step 4: Repeat Steps 1, 2, and 3 for the right leg. Step 5: After the turtle falls over, have Fang apply Haste and Faithra to Vanille and Snow in the Espionage paradigm. Have her apply Haste and Bravera to herself. Meanwhile, Vanille and Snow will debuff the turtle. Step 6: Stagger the turtle in the Tri-disaster paradigms. Get his chain gauge up to 800 ~ 850 (Adamantoise). Step 7: Switch to Devastation and devastate the turtle. It's best if you synchronize your attacks with Snow's Daze. I wasn't too good at it yet as of this recording, but you want to confirm the attack when you see the word "Daze" appear over Snow's head. Then, cancel the rest of the attack when Snow's round is over.
Final note: If you see the turtle use "Bay," just restart.
Thank you for watching!
