I still come to this video to watch how cool this "villain reveal" was, lots of people criticize this game but the character of Barthendelus is simply perfect: a fake king/president who actually is an evil god and farms humans.

I agree. FF13 definitely had a lot of flaws. However, the reveal of Dysley’s reveal as Barthandelus is one of the most memorable moment of the entire series. And that’s coming from a FF6 fanboy.

My name is Barthandelus... Voice of the Sanctum and Lord-Sovereign of the Cocoon Fal'Cie... Your kind feared the darkness, so we gave you light... You begged us for the Purge, and did it not come to pass? Now you spurn our counsel? You must learn your place! Those words echo in my head. This guy was a literal pain to defeat.

[@seprithlicastia463]

I love Barthandelus' whole speech there before the fight. So chilling, so terrifying, both in words and implication.

[@caiusballad4162]

Totally that, his speech is serious yet grandiose "What can mere mortals men are able to do alone" "Without us death is all of which your capable" "Your kind feared the darkness" "We gave you Light" "And now you spurn our councel? you must learn your places!" Such beautifully vehement lines!

[@Vayne_Solidor]

​@@caiusballad4162Caius is a perfect antagonist.

[@LittleMountain90]

To people dying to Destrudo: The attack is meant to be lethal if you try to solely tank it. When he casts it at 6:47, notice that he resets the Stagger gauge. At around 6:55 onwards, however, you'll notice he grunts and rears his head. By keeping the pressure on and increasing his Stagger gauge while he's charging, you'll reduce the number of projectiles fired. TL;DR: Don't stop attacking while he's charging Destrudo and it won't one-shot the party.

[@Dario-uj6qo]

Just beat him the other day, for some reason I think I tried it but didn't work for me (perhaps I didn't commit enough) so I ended up with a wiping strategy. Since he barely one shotted me with that attack I decided to check my inventory to see if I could equip any item that could give me a little bit more of health (I could just grind a bit but I didn't want to, I felt the game was starting to get too easy so I decided to not level up the cristalium, skip some enemies sometimes in order to not level up and not check equipment for about 2 chapters and I wanted to win because I had a good strategy, not because I grandes and got some stats) and since depending on my position I would barely survive it I devided to use a paradigm that would isolate Lightning from the others and then just spam attack on order to keep it that way so they would barely survive, then heal and continue. The weird thing is that for some reason once it worked he ended up being the curse that use the eidones that kill you once the counter reaches 0 and not only it killed me since I couldn't beat him fast enough (I went for a long resistance/endurance strat, not a damage one) but weirdly enough he didn't do it again in the next try wich was the winning one. Is something that he does if the fight goes too long? Is it a bug? I don't get it

[@many_lives4925]

I remember playing this game for the first time and my jaw hit the floor when he revealed himself to be not just a fal'cie but the freaking leader of all the cocoon fal'cie. Such an intimidating villain. He effortlessly manipulates everyone into doing exactly what he wants.

[@caiusballad4162]

The primarch Dysley is one hell of a vilain, I love all of his scenes in the game, the reveal of him being the gubernator is the best one, really feels like a man showing pure brutality and spite with the Latin music.

[@neezduts69420]

I kinda had a hunch but i didn't expect him to be that powerful I agree

[@stratecaster547]

I dont think Barthandelus gets enough credit in the FF community for being the only villian to get EXACTLY what he wants up until his death (which, again, is 100% the outcome he manipulated the protagonists to achieve). Even Kefka was eventually thwarted after destroying the world.

The story is hard to follow. The constant mentioning of falcie and lcie and being the enemy. The writing even tells you the story is confusing. Mainly the falcie and lcie sides. Especially when they say pulse lcie. The story is good but it needed more. It's too straight forward to he this confusing.

[@guillermoolivaiii9550]

I find this antagonist impressive for the way he handles the situation as he puppeteers the protagonist and her fellow friends. Also, I do not understand how he lacks a lot of insight ,but I would love to watch a prequel to Final Fantasy XIII to put more in-depth to Barthandelus succession to his role. Above all, not many villains make awesome introductions like he does.

[@caiusballad4162]

ABSOLUTELY!!! having to confront a vehement situation which was not prefigurated, and handling it by just destroying philosophically your foes! the perfect gubernator attidute.

[@Zailen1]

This was one of my favorite boss battles. It was difficult, but not in a way that frustrated me. I -welcomed- the challenge. I remember having Sazh up, buffing, and just wailing on the boss, all the while praying that his destro didnt get me. Took me a few days, but when I FINALLY got him, I jumped, and cheered, yelling at my TV. It didnt only feel like a boss fight. It felt like an accomplishment. I felt the struggle that the story protrayed in those moments, and I ate it up. Just amazing.

[@kazameltis]

To be honest I wish they didn't kill of Jihl Nabaat so quickly before the battle. I just think she just had a lot of potential of being a calculating and manipulative villain. I mean it's a complete shame we don't see more of her as a villain, but as a victim.

[@Khalfrank]

No it was NOT a complete shame. Her death was just part of the twist to reveal an unexpected surprise about Dysley. It's hard to see what other purposes Nabaat could've served aside from being manipulative, besides she's just a regular human and there was no way she could've been a real challenge as a "stage boss". As as villain, she was good yes but logically, there was just nothing else to be done with her.

[@BroadcastNinjastar]

I do think she would have made a great La Cith and I also think she would have been great to fight against . From what I was told you were supposed to fight her in the original version but the scrapped alot out of the game

[@MrMadMothy]

It's the last thing to expect a sudden almost impossible fight out of the blue within the main storyline as previously final fantasy games only had optional super-bosses and you were levelled enough to be able to take on storyline bosses without too many problems, I struggled a lot with Barthandelus first time and I trained quite a lot, as soon as you get rid of the miniature heads, it becomes far easier, until then it's a big struggle but it was a refreshing change I liked about 13, though I found the 3rd form of him to be the easiest but this form of him has been known to make some players restart the game over since once your on board, it's almost impossible to level anything up and you have to try deal with the stats you have. (Hell, I was used to seeing bosses and final bosses only having HP up to around 250,000, but once I played this I freaked out seeing some of their HP went well over the 2 million without being near the end game. xD)

[@coughpillbox748]

Gonna have to disagree about this part turning people away -because- of the "almost impossibility" to level before this guy. The room before him, has huge exp gains from fights and also large chances to drop incentivenand credit chips, to help you level up your weapons. I think this is the part of the game where most people accidentally over-grind.

[@jamalmays4804]

@@coughpillbox748 Having recently played on the PC port, I am unsure what you mean. I think this boss and the robot mech dude in the later half of the game (the dude associated with Cid) were tough since leveling was limited. I think leveling aside too, they were just tough bosses in design. Barthandelus HP compared to other bosses at that stage of the game is just crazy too if you review the wiki of his boss fight and previous ones.

[@KingKabisi]

While Sazh and Vanille are typically a weaker duo, the fact that Sazh can cast Haste and Vanille is both a medic and saboteur is essential to this fight. It's essentially a dps burn.

[@Hero_of_Legend]

The trick, is to spend the entire charge-up time hitting him with all you got. Commando being the best job, if available. If he takes at least so much damage before it charges, it'll be a LOT weaker. You'll know when you've done enough damage, because he'll wince, and the charge will bog-down, some.

Oh man, this guy gave me so much trouble the first time I fought him. Destrudo would always absolutely... well, destroy me. Then when I think I’d be close enough, bam, he’d cast Doom and it would all be over for me. I had to restart my entire playthrough, only then could I prepare enough to finally beat him.

[@jellybean2423]

Hey can someone tell me what they are using for this team, what are the paragrims you have to set for this, what are they can someone tell me asap as im up to this

[@LuizBarotto]

Best boss battle in history of gaming!

[@policederave4456]

Aster protoflorian wasn't bad tho

[@KingpinOfSteel295]

yeah but if you think about it manually selecting the commands lets the ATB gauge fill while you are selecting the commands so when you have finished with your commands you dont have as long to wait

[@ASephiroth]

@ParadoxPK I may have had hp boosts on or def boosts, that kind of htign helps. plus when he charges you gotta hit him hard, if you dont and wait for him to hit you, it will be a lot more powerful.

[@jellybean2423]

how do u ge the trial disaster and canvelence or what ever is sazah and vanille and lighting good tieam members

[@AlhazredsGamingGoo]

@Gynagi Ultimecia's lack of fleshing out is part of one of the game's themes, that "good" and "evil" don't always cover everything; Squall himself says several times that more often than not, one's enemy has more to do with circumstance. As far as the other arguments, they're still circular logic. None of those things even suggests R=U; you're accepting the idea as fact first and then stretching things to fit it.

[@Gynagi]

@AlhazredsGamingGoo The general public is aware of this, as the populace outside of Esthar thought Edea had received Sorceress Adel's powers-So, Ultimecia gained, or rather WILL gain, her sorcery from it being passed down from a sorceress in the current era-Since Sorceress Rinoa is the only sorceress left, it's known that it is her powers that will ultimately pass to Ultimecia

[@Midna3689]

lol i still remember how hard this boss was but it was fun while u r feeling like u rly are fighting a boss with the music and the sounds!! >:)

[@StormBreaker_3000]

I would’ve love see sazh and the others fight off against Nabaat

[@InugamiTheHound]

another thing should upgrade my weapons and armor?? Should I change my party as well???

[@JosephGarcia-hw4of]

when i heard his voice, i had goosebumps when he turn to barthandlus

[@Gynagi]

@AlhazredsGamingGoo -If Rinoa's powers were eliminated, theoretically Ultimecia's "reign of terror" would end before it even starts-There is no known way that sorceress power can be destroyed, it can only be passed to a successor-Even if a sorceress is killed, she would pass on her powers to someone else before dying

[@HappleProductions]

Interesting strategy. Slow, but effective. Personally, I fight him the same way I fight everyone else in this game: Lightning, Sazh, Vanille, Librascope (usually libra, but too many targets in this battle), Bully till buffed, single pass of Cerberus to lock the chain gauge, Tri-disaster till the chain gauge breaks, cerberus till stagger is over, rinse and repeat. Oh, and Med-Syn-Med for healing. It's awesome because it renews your buffs every time you need to heal. And debuffs, when needed.

[@interhistoria5632]

It was here that I needed to grind much more. I can't even remember how many potions I went through first time fighting this guy under-leveled and unprepared.

[@Thtambitiousguy]

quick question. ive been neglecting to ugrade my weapons any further until ive went to gran pulse im at the end of chap 9. should upgrade my weapons till i get a star or wait??

[@KyosukeShigeru]

Died once, not realizing that you had to strip the armor first...and it spammed too much powerful magic attacks. Got it right the second time around while keeping it going with some serious pounding. I think having Sazh in your party buffing everyone really helps out (certainly did for me, especially when Haste was active). Fairly epic fight for the most part.

[@triclon]

I'm voting Barthandelus 2020, an real leader who actually delivers on his campaign promises.

[@jellybean2423]

hi can someone tell me what paragrims to you and what characters i should use and stuff do u only go for the individual heads or the entire boss thing

[@MinerJB]

I remember spending several days power leveling and prepping for this fight after a couple failed attempts. Went with a more or aggressive paradigm set up as well, in the end worked out great.

[@11thLegendaryWarrior]

Would anyone mind telling me the name of the theme playing when Barthandelus explains Serah's true focus to Snow. It's amazing and really gave me chills in that scene.

[@Sperium3000]

@TheMrEllerkermike I suggest you change to Rentless Assault and wail on him nonstop. As you attack, he will eventually flinch and groan. I'm not sure if it's actually true or if it was just me, but it seems the more times you make him flinch while he is charging, the less damage the attack deals.

[@Gynagi]

@AlhazredsGamingGoo What do u think, happening after the ending? There is still Ultimecia in the future and Rinoa is still a sorceress. Look the endingscene. There's the problem of this theory? What r ur arguments against this?

[@D1llsta]

Scandalous, barthandelus, everyone knows you can't handle this!

[@phantom117b4]

Can we all agree that his boss theme is amazing

[@jellybean2423]
