FFXIII Mission 64 The Doomherald HD (5 Star Rating)

Mission 64, the final mission. You're fighting Vercingetorix, a superboss who has 15,840,000 HP. He can deal lots of damage and heal himself. However, with the right strategy this is an easy battle, I still consider Mission 62 the hardest. Have Lightning, Vanille, and Hope in your party and equip them with Tier 3 weapons. Equip Lightning with strength boosting accessories and the other two with magic boosting accessories. All three should also have Royal Armlets or Imperial Armlets to reduce damage and Genji Gloves. Have these Paradigms:
Assassination (SAB/RAV/SAB)
Relentless Assault (COM/RAV/RAV)
Discretion (COM/MED/MED)
Rapid Growth (SYN/SYN/SYN)
Tortoise (SEN/SEN/SEN)
Cerebus (COM/COM/COM) (optional)
Use a Deceptisol and Aegisol before the battle to help out in the beginning. When the battle begins, debuff Vercingetorix with Deshell, Deprotect, and mots important of all, Poison. Always put Poison on him, this is invaluable in this battle. When this is done, switch to Relentless Assault and attack him until he does Impenetrable Aura. When he does this, he heals 8% of the damage dealt to him. During this time he is immune to everything, so this is when you switch to Discretion and heal and Rapid Growth and recast Faith, Bravera, Haste, and other buffs he will take off. When he's done healing, continue the attack.
Sometimes you'll stagger him. You can either stay in Relentless Assault and keep attacking him or switch to Cerebus during this, though it will likely only last a few seconds.
When he casts Wicked Whirl, immediately switch to Tortoise to reduce the damage from this attack, because it is his strongest attack. When the damage is dealt immediately switch to Discretion and heal from it.
Keep up the attack and you should be able to beat him under the time limit and earn a 5 star rating. If not, equip the Gold Watch to increase the time limit to make the battle much easier.
When you've finished him, congratulations! You've just killed a superboss.

[@bluetreason]

Well this battle is going to be hard as hell. >_> Would you recommend a gold watch to five star him? Just curious.

Thanks Richard, thanks to your strategy I was finally able to kill this guy 5 stars and get 3 trophies right there! I'm at 88% in trophies for this game now.

Do You. Know. How. Ican. Upgrade The Enkendler Wepon To. Omega Wepon?😀☺️🙂🙂

[@ClaireYunFarronXIII]

Those two close calls, though...

[@NovaScotiaComedy]

@BUNNYANDDIABLO Insanely high Magic makes him an incredible Ravager, Medic and Synergist. Not to mention, he is the only Medic (save Vannile) with Curasa/Curaja. He's the best Synergist besides Sazh. Hope is an excellent ally.

I used Lighting for this battle. I found this battle was all about your magic users. There's no point using Melee for damage since your debuffing will slow the stagger rate and you barely have time to take a hit when he staggers anyway. If you absolutely want to use your summon I find that after he is debuffed and you have decent stagger rate on him is it really worth it since the moment he shields it goes back to 0. I'd suggest going into your limit after he has 6 wings and you get a quick stagger so you do more damage. I find a decent strategy was when I was able to stagger him using One Man Army after he shielded once and I got stagger I was able to get his health down to about half. I think the most important buffs I got was Faith Haste and Protect while Debuffing was Poison, Imperil, and Defaith and I'm not sure but maybe slow though I found it didn't honestly help since he was almost as fast as he was before using it.

[@Korunagasaki]

@Helixthetiger it depends, the stronger you are the lower the time limit

[@clairesfocus]

@Helixthetiger you get a gold watch for beating him, if you equip it, it makes the target time, which you have to get under to get stars and shit, substantially higher...

[@Leungy12252]

i can never beat this thing with the strategy you and the others given :/ my party with (Lightning, Fang, Hope) however the only time i've beat this boss with 5* was the time when i was messing around using (Sazh, Fang, Snow) with a messed up paradigms... which tortoise, Relentless Assault are included and the rest just messed up...

[@jjayreed10]

yea dude i agree 62 was the hardest to 5 star also

[@plasmoplasmoplasmoer]

you need to equip the collectors catalog..which increases common drops..and only wear that one..wearing a collectors and connoisseur catalog will make it harder to get drops because it cant decide which to drop..you know? you probably dont need this advice any more anyway.. :P

[@shprotov04]

easiest boss, usually I spend 2 weeks to defeat someone, but here I only spent 3 days

[@VapourXY]

So many close calls man lol

[@CharNatorn]

Nice job wasting a phoenix down at the end lol

[@amandaclaireon4065]
