Final Fantasy XIII Help Thread (No Spoilers)

Stick the thread. And I would help you but Sadly I'm on chapter 8.

 

Had so much trouble with this boss too.

As I recall, I ended up using Lighning, Hope, and Fang. I began the battle with Com/Syn/Sab, or maybe Lightning was a Med instead of a Com. Hope got in a bunch of buffs and Fang got in a bunch of debuffs. Then I went Rav/Rav/Com, staggered the boss, and then went Com/Rav/Com. If I desperately needed healing, I would go either Med/Med/Sen or Com/Med/Sen. I also maxed out 2 of the 3 primary roles for each character. And I had Lightning's original weapon, Blazefire Saber, upgraded into the Flamberge. When the boss was staggered, Lightning and Fang would get at least 10000 per hit.

And if Hope and Fang fell in battle, I'd summon Odin.

 

It was at this point in the game that I kept Lightning, Hope, and Fang as my main party.

 

Ok I just got to Chapter 11. Im walking through the giant area doing mission 1. Im trying to find out do I have to search for the monster on my own or do I have to follow the golden arrow.

 

Open the big map and head for the red star.For later missions where the monster is in a different area,the star appears a little off the map on the path that you need to go on.The 1st mission monster is pretty close to the Cieth stone.

Brawl,you still need help?I already beat the game and am just doing the missions right now.Though if its the Super Pope I would suggest probably getting two of your main cyrstalium jobs leveled to as full as they can get (which you did).Even better if you can get the three main roles leveled up.The roles you use are the same ones i use as well,except for the med/med/sen,but everyone has their own style.To be honest though it wasnt till chapter 12 that I started using Fang as part of the main team,it was usually Light/Vanille/Hope,then when everyone could start getting stronger again I started to find that Light/Fang/Hope worked better at the time.

 

Once again barthandelues has struck. Im stuck on the boss battle in chapter 11. HELP ME!

 

Fang is probably your best bet if you need the sentinal.Otherwise,it will all be worth it just for that first scene in chapter 12.Brawl knows the awesomness of it.

 

Ok thanks, also SoraBrawl once I beat the boss does it take long to beat 12? I have tonight till like 5 in the morning, yes five and then tommorow to beat the game. I leave for a while and cant bring my PS3.

 

It doesn't take too long to beat Chapter 12, although some of the fights are pretty difficult. I had to avoid fighting some Behemoths because they'd kill me quick. Chapter 13 is time consuming though. I kept on getting to areas, thinking I'd be done, only to go to another area. I have some tips though.

Spoiler (Somewhat): In the area where you can warp to Pulse, do not advance for a while unless you really want to finish the game. There are Cie'th there, Sacrifices. They can drop Perfumes, which sell for 12,000 gil a piece. They also drop Scarliettes, which sell for 7,000 gil. You do not want to advance because if you go too far, they will not regenerate. Look up some gil farming faq for more info.

Near the end of the area/Chapter, you will reach an area where you go up a winding pathway. You will fight previous enemies (By previous, I mean the last two bosses you've fought). There is also a save spot here. By killing these enemies, you will get 32,000 CP (The boss battle enemies, not the Sanctum Soldiers). And then save, load, and repeat. Good for CP farming if that is what you need.

End spoiler.

 

Need help AGAIN! Ok so I haven't played for 3 days and now im stuck on ProudClad number 1. How do I beat him. I feel like im leveled up pretty well, but now I don't know what to do. He kills me when he does his attack after the first stagger. (I forgot it's name.)

 

Also,never use a sabatour.That boss can never be dubuffed.Buffs for yourself are good though.

 

I beat him the minute after I posted the post.

 

I found a easy way to take down the Proudclad II, I got five stars on it. It took me 3 tries though.
First equip your party with General Belt.
I used Light, Fang, Hope.
My paradigms was:

COM/COM/RAV - AGGRESSION
RAV/SEM/RAV - MYSTIC TOWER
RAV/COM/RAV - RELENTLESS ASSAULT
MED/SEN/MED - COMBAT CLINIC
MED/SEN/SYN - PROTECTION

I started with Protection.. That way I can heal and Hope can buff the team. once everybody got haste and some other buffs I moved to Aggression and got the chain Chain Gauge a little from half way then I shifted too Mystic Tower to stagger him and then once staggered I moved to Aggression and started to pound on him. If your party gets low HP just shift to Combat Clinic, you will be healed pretty fast.

 

can someone help me with the Orphan fight?i cannot figure out how to beat him.i beat Barthandelus(dont remember how to spell his name) and i keep getting killed by Orphan.this is the party is use if anyone can help me

Lighting: Commando/Ravenger
Hope:Medic/Ravenger
