Final Fantasy XIII - Adamantoise (No Summons)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- Pretty simple walkthrough on how to kill an Adamantoise in Final Fantasy XIII without using the cheap summon/death method. This is one of the most efficient ways to get gil since they drop platinum ingots and trapzeohedrons.
The main thing you are going to need are Genji Gloves on Fang, and have her Commando role leveled to 5 but it helps tremendously if you have all of your base jobs leveled to 5, in this walkthrough howevver, Fangs Sentinel role is only role level 4.
To get this to work you will need 2 good ravagers on your team, I use Hope and Vanille because the main roles you will need are the ones they already specialize in.
You are going to setup your paradigms as follows,
Relentless Assault Com/Rav/Rav
Combat Clinic - Sent/Med/Med
Esponionage - Sab/Sab/Syn
You are going to start out and wait for the first stomp with combat clinic as your starting paradigm. Once he stomps your team should heal you almost immediately, that is when you switch to Relentless assault and attack the first leg. I use Ruin to attack the leg with Fang because it decreases the chance of getting stepped on which is pretty much an instant death. When you see the Adamantoise raise its leg to use stomp switch to combat clinic and wait until it does. Your party should heal you almost immediately and you can switch back to Relentless Assault. Repeat this process until the leg is staggered and get its stagger gauge to around 500% then use Highwind. It will immediately knock out the leg. Repeat this process for the second leg and the adamantoise will fall.
Once it is on the ground switch to Espionage and throw on Debuffs. The only 4 that matter are Imperil, Slow, Deshell and Deprotect. While you are doing this hope will hopefully have given you a few good buffs. When all four buffs are on switch to Relentless assault and go at it. If it starts to get up before you kill it immediately use a Highwind to take out as much damage as possible before its standing.
If it gets back up you just have to repeat this process and it should be dead in no time. This works on Adamantortoises as well, which have less hp but the same drops.
Obviously there is an easier way that relies more on luck than skill by summoning Vanille's Eidolon and then spamming death, but then you have to worry about running around the field getting the 3 tp back so I find it much easier to just go around and kill them the hard way because it is much more efficient.
And yes, I know it can be done in 2 minutes or less, and that is the average time I do kill them, I was playing it very safe in this video since it is a demonstration. Plus the fact I didn't bother to take the time to optimize my equipment for the fight put me back on time a bit.

I started playing this in 2009 on the PS3 but never finished it. Now I’m playing it in 2020 on the XB1X and this video helped me out immensely. Thanks 👍🏻
This Adamantoise seemed huge when I first played this game, now it looks so small compared to the one from Final Fantasy XV .
oh baby a tripol ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) in ffxv is way easer.
just takes more time to beat him.
dan altamirano more time means better risk to die
Adamantoise in FFXV is easy if we have the right equipment and move set. I’ll only take 1-2 minutes to take him down but not that easy for the one in XIII
@@noobdude5933 Ring of the Lucii kills it in 5 minutes and you don't even have to move an inch from the road.
@@TheSuperSaturos My hours of trying to get one to die via the Ring says otherwise...
Just playing this game on pc. Hated it at first but started to fall in love with it after playing it a bit longer
This beast has an excruciating stomp
So much trouble for an overgrown dinosaur, in the old days it would only take us one float to turn him from monster to puppy
Or just hit them with one Manipulate, poison them, and watch them slowly die... :P
Vanish + X-Zone ftw!
Brings back good memories of spamming paradigm shift
This is what I do (non summon) and it takes 2 minutes ...
Fang/Vanille/Hope
1) Syn/Syn/Med
2) Com/Rav/Med
3) Rav/Rav/Rav
4) Sab/Sab/Rav
5) Com/Com/Com
Start off in 1) and cast haste on everyone, then faithra on vanille and hope, and Bravera on fang. Switch to 2) and targert a leg. As soon as fang stabilizes the guage switch to 3) and stagger. Switch back to 2) and highwind the leg. Repeat the above for the second leg. Once its falls switch to 4) and debuff/debilitate. Once everything is on switch back to 3) and get 999% stagger gauge. Then go to 5) and kill.
Fang has Genji Glove. The rest of the accessories dont really matter if you are overpowered. For example I have energy sash, speed sash, and twenty sided die so no attack stat boosting accesories. If you are weaker then you are going to need to buff up longer at the start with protectra/shellra, and equip Gaian Rings and Black Belts/Imperial Armlets etc
when i was recording this Fangs Ravager ability was still level 0. This is just a basic explanation on how to kill them using Highwind for people who don't have all of their jobs maxed.
I like how you waited just a bit longer b4 using highwind in the end just to make it epic! lol
man I kept fricking dying in this so I gave up XD now I wish I could go back and fight them off, great video ! :3
Ride ze shoopuff?
"Dangerous when shoopuf’s close! Wants to be shmooshed?"
LMAO. Thanks, that cracked me up. ^_^
All aboard!
You have to "kill" both legs in order for it to fall into the ground, there it can't attack you for a period of time which you can use to buff/heal yourself, Stagger it and then continue attacking her, if she goes back up, you have to then again kill the legs, that's the only way to prevent her stomp attack which does a LOT of damage as you can see.
When I played this game years ago I just assumed that this monster was unkillable
Watched like a bunch of video. Congrats on the most reliable way to beat an Adamantoise. Some people's vids have everyone maxed out or using smokes or summoning etc. But this is an all around reliable way to beat one.
It's a really good vid. However it would have been nice to see what paradigms you selected prior to engaging the Adamantoise. I can put them up if it's all right with you.
Fang/Vanille/Hope
Com/Rav/Rav - Relentless Assault
Sen/Med/Med - Combat Clinic
Syn/Med/Syn - Recuperation
Sab/Sab/Syn - Espionage
Sen/Med/Syn - Protection
if they ever do an international rerelease titan better be a fucking boss.
This was the only final fantasy that felt challenging to me
13 was still far more challenging than 15 at least. Hell 13 is tougher than most ff games.
Trapzeohedron. Was just too lazy to figure out how to spell it when I typed it.
this is just... awesome... i died in seconds of trying in chapter 12 crystarium stage 8... guess i should go higher a bit...
+Ramond Hew how were you in chapter 12 crystarium 8...impossible. im chapter 11 crystarium 9
+Ramond Hew i'm go to try on chapter 11 :D
Same 😔
@ZennExile It's not to show... It's to show people how to kill adamantoises without summoning for people who are struggling. Earth damage is physical damage... So it works fine.
Just one gripe with this video. Instead of choosing Ruin, Ruin, Ruin etc. every time, just hover over "abilities", hold right and hit the action button. This repeats your previous action of that role, so even if you shift paradigms and go back to Commando, you can still choose your 'previous set of commands' in little more than one button smash.
Oh ya forgot BTW great video, nice to see someone who takes time to play it safe and let people see the actual commands, so we don't have to pause lol
I miss this game. I wish I still had my PS3, so I could boot it up and hunt some turtles.
@catbuffalo Fang only needs about 2100 atp to fight them, you can use a fully upgraded tier 2 weapon on everyone and be fine. Just make sure you have the Genji Gloves or your damage will cap out at 99,999
Thank you very much for an informative, clear and concise video, much appreciated :D
He's wearing some damage reductions + sentinal role gives a passive def bonus (job and skill bonus). I was doing the death spam using Snow as the tank wearing the Ward bonus weapon and it only does like 2-3k per stomp (using damage reductions too ofcourse)
just a tip mate, instead of manualy choosing the "spam" attacks, just highlight abilities and hold the right direction pad and then when "repeat" comes up press X. it only works after you manualy choose the comands for the first time.
NO 40,000 originally. He has growth egg which doubles to amount of CP in battles.
Mission 62 is where I got mine. I did it right after the mission became available to me, I have a strategy on how to beat it fairly easily in one of my other videos. It is located in the circle of stones in The Archylte Steppe.
This was very good, not like others where they buff their party before battle, or using a summon. Well played.
@ElitexxRainx No the ones that walk around are Adamantoise and the ones that stay still in the little chasms are the Adamantortoises. Adamantortoise are weaker but have the same drops.
Wow.... Gonna use this strategy now. I have pretty much finished the crystarium for all characters and STILL find it impossible to kill these without the spamming of the Death spell. Thanks for this! hopefully it'll work for me! *runs off to try*
@musicmaniack256 The Genji Gloves removes the 99k damage cap on the character that's wearing it, allowing him/her to deal close to 1 million damage.
The accessory is also needed for the Damage Limit achievement/trophy, where you need to break over 100k with a single hit
@raisin22 He switches Fang to a Sentinel right before he gets hit. I'm assuming at late Sen levels, the damage decrease is much better than early on, allowing this 3k-5k difference
I'm sorry, but Fang is just the biggest Badass in FF thus far, every time I play her. I feel like if there was a fight between her and Tifa, Tifa'd lose some limbs. And I used to think Tifa was the biggest Badass.
Highwind should be used as a finishing move right before a Stagger ends since it resets your chaining progress.
@TheLiveGames actually, the adamantortoise do have less health and streangth, but their magic is much higher, so a quake or roar is deadly.
the most notable asthetic differance is that adamantortoise have broken tusks, wich leads me to beileve, on a fairly irrelevant note that they are the seniors of the adamantoise population.
@JWPnim Great job on maxing out the chrystarium. But 5:30 is nothing to make jokes at, that was pretty good. 2 min is great also but this guy didn't max out everyone.
@3FruitsPunch The Death method and Summoning takes longer and death has only a 1% of hitting and it takes a while to fill up the TP afterwards.
@Baka461 wrong.. gold dust are dropped by adamanchelids, which are the ones that don't have chains around their legs...
@princejmye You mean Aurora Scarf, which starts of with a full ATB, this giving you first strike. You upgrade a Whistlewind Scarf [iirc] which you can get from one of treasure spheres [can't recall which one] in Chapter 9 or buy from Moogleworks.
@PeronMiles Yes. You get warp points that let you go to most areas of the game.
I like your strategy. Especially the 'Switch-to-dual-meds-as-you're-about-to-get-knocked-down' thing. Very sneaky :P
hey thanx man! i wasnt going to try this seemed complicated... but once you get the pattern its awesome!! and you can kill 3 get your tp up then use the summon way!! thanx man
I reached Gran Pulse last week. I'm not even going to dare attempt to try taking down one of these things yet. I doubt I'm even strong enough. Where I left off last week, I obtained Hope's Eidolon Alexander. I'm just going to try grinding while fighting other monsters for a bit.
@usavichvich chapter 11 is when you initially see these guys, but after you beat the game it asks you one last time to save. do so and reload that save when back at the title screen. you'll be where you were just before the last boss('s) there's two warp gates you can then use to get back to Gran Pulse. After beating the game the crystarium expands some-what allowing you access to a whole load of HP 'n junk :-D
Impressive for someone not using Lightning.
But then again, Sazh is in my party only because I find his afro stylish and he due to the fact the keeps a Chocobo in there. I mean you gotta have a lot of attitude to pull an afro like that, have a tiny Chocobo in there and still look badass.
@TonePottery
I believe Sentinel have this passive where
if they are on the field everyone takes half dmg.
thanks for this, once you get control over what to do this is extremely easy to pull off. my chars still arent maxed so i cant get them down in 1 stagger yet, i kill one in about 5min or so with the setup shown here. much better than the silly death trick that takes just as long with bad death luck, or even a lot longer considering you need tp for your summons. if he dazes you, just spend 1 tp on renew & you're all set again.
i'd love to finish this game (get 1000/1000) but gil farming is so repetitive...
thanks for the help I never knew highwind was that useful.
@jed112
I agree, using Summons or Shrouds is effective but you need to wither keep buying more or regaining back the TP and it gets really annoying, I find it better to just use skills, haha. Plus it feels more rewarding too!
@JWPnim Good job bro, you can read descriptions. Or maybe you can't and thats why you are making a comment like this.
switch to all sentinels before he stomps, especially if your party leader's beneath the leg that's stomping, then go back to what your doing. it's an instant kill if your under the leg he stomps with. if you think this is hard, wait till you meet the long gui.
not necessary, if you're sufficiently leveled and have a Gaian Ring equipped to each character the stomp shouldn't kill anyone.
Agreed on regular 'toises being pushovers compared to Long Gui though!
@3FruitsPunch I used death a number of times and it worked. So thanks! The only problem with death is there's only a 1% chance of it sticking. So some of those battles took 15-20 minutes. But I've collected the genji gloves since so now I use the strategy shown in the vid. The difference is with the gloves, you can kill it before it gets back up. Now I'm stuck on the Shaolong Gui's lol. Can't find a way around them.
Why aren't you using any buffs? You're losing way more health than you would if you at least used protect/protectra...
If you have enough HP to live through the fight, what does it matter? You get a full heal at the end of every fight in FFXIII. So any fight you live through is good enough. The goal of farming turtles is to maximize gil or items gained per hour spent. If you can do it without wasting a few seconds buffing, that's a good thing.
Second reply: I hadn't watched the whole video before I replied to you. His technique is sloppy and slow as hell. This is not a good example of a fast turtle smash. So my previous comment, while true in the sense that protect buffs aren't needed, may have been overly defensive of the OP video which is not really fast.
Kaneki Ken I did it without that bullshit for cp
i got this game today but i can't play it right now....OMG I CANT WAIT!!!!!!
This is a good tutorial, thanks for the one on mission 62 as well, very helpful!
Anyone else playing this on 360? ~ even though its inferior :(
I only had a 360 as a kid, but I’m currently using my Xbox one 10 years after this comment lol
Add another year, I'm revisiting it on X360 too (never got Sony consoles past the PS2 and even then I got mine shortly after the Wii came out) currently grinding on Pulse in prevision of this absolute unit!
@catbuffalo
and btw only Fang got a tier 3 weapon in this vid, cuz Vanille's got Nirvana and Hope's got Nue as their tier 3 weapons
@REDDWARF316 you get 4 auto, and the fifth is in one of the characters crystalium upgrade, last one is ultimate weapon.
that kind of sux. all this hard work to show this and NO TRAPEZEHEDRON1 THAT'S AN OUTRAGE!
The main thing that I'm impressed with is your overall time lol. 65 hours!! That's all? I know the main story doesn't take that long to get through but I did a lot of running around completing missions before I finished the game once--which means I'm still really weak lol. Is this post game? How did you get so strong so fast?
Wow! Those things still one-hit-kill my whole party with a single stomp.
@3FruitsPunch Tried it using multiple strategies, same results. As soon as I drop its health to a certain level, it rapid fires Ultima, roar and quake. I'm in Tortoise for Ultima but it wipes out half my health. So I switch to Salvation to heal but stops me with roar. That leaves me dazed and with very low health. Before I can cure the daze and finish healing, it fires quake or Ultima again. One time it fired rapid fired Ultima 3 times back to back to kill me. But I'll check out your links!
I skipped so many grinding stuff in this game and regret everything,
The bosses became so hard that i have to repeat it multiple times. Probably because im new to ff franchise so it make me confused a lot.
@kamm841 Actually, they become the Long Gui's after you do the 5 missions shaped like a ring in the Steppe.
Sorry! I didn't look at the extra info. You already had your paradigms there.
honestly its easier and quicker to do the summon/death method...yeah it might be cheap but for those that haven't gotten the genji glove this method would take almost twice as long...the only downfall to the summon/death method is it is so random, sometimes killing him in 40 sec and others your finding yourself rebuffing 4 or 5 times lol
and the game breathed a sigh of relief at not having to render the dam thing anymore
this video helped me out a lot. now im not intimidated of fighting adamantoises! lol
@musicmaniack256 The G gloves reads that you can deal up to 999,999 dmg. Hmm, I used Death on several enemies, yet I didn't get the achievement/trophy until I used Fang's Highwind while she was wearing it.
OK, here's what I don't get... apparently you can't kill an Adamantortoise if you don't have a Genji Glove equipped. But the only way to get the glove is by killing an Adamantortoise (mission 63). So how can you complete mission 63 when the only way to get the accessory you need to complete the mission is by completing the mission? I'm 160 hours into the game, I've leveled everyone up to 20k HP's or more and I still can't kill the thing. WTF?
Um...what if we can't even target the legs cause it's the Edden Adamantoise?
I don't know if it's a glitch or what but I can't target the legs, just the entire creature.
I'm wayyy to lazy for this, I will just continue with my Death spam
@ReleasedProduct And also, it's not a cheat if getting over 99,999 damage in a single hit is a trophy. :3
I remember trying to fight the one in Eden. I thought it was another Admanchild. Boy was I surprised. o.o
Did you grind sacrifices to earn gil for the tier 3 weapons????? Good video but i'd prefer to know how to take him before getting tier 3 weapons and having 20k hp. Right now i have fang at 2800 strength (power gloves) and she has around 14k hp. I think i might be ready.
@Nobody7720 at the end it showed the battle results, and clearly it shows the X at the bottom right at 6:05 its playstation -.-
Thank you so very much!!! This helped me out alot. Do do happen to have a video on how to defeat the 2 floating Ceith would you? That would nice if you did.
What accessories do you use, because I was doing this and he does a lot more damage to my characters than he is doing to yours, and i have no damage reducing accessories equipped? Also, it looks like I have about the same amount of health as you do. I am guessing they are items like the gaian ring or imperial armlets or something like that, but I just wanted to know for sure.
I have an off topic question. Is it alright if I upgraded some of the characters weapons early in the game? Before ch.10+ ? I mean as long as I focus on their CP does it really matter how upgraded my weapon is? I feel like I kinda screwed up, and I don't want to start over -___-
Thanks! This tatic works really well!
@Gothen146 the highest is 999,999 damge right? and for the limit breaker trophy, is there more than one way to get it besides using the g.gloves, cuz i got the trophy by using death on a adamantoise, but idk how much real damage it did.
@KooKookid520 Oh I totally agree, PS3 just holds some crowns over 360 that I miss out on by not owning it, but littler things in the bigger picture like the FFXIII graphics or FFXIII Versus. I do adore my xbox though; Halo, Mass Effect, and Lost Odyssey (to name a few) are all beloved favorite franchises/games of mine.
Impressive fight. I was spending so much time debuffing the feet cuz the stomp kept doing like 10k damage to me. I guess that was because I wasnt lvled enough. Im using a party of Fang, Lightning and Vanille. I dont have Traps for Kami's lance yet. I hope I'm ready.
@brewerfan347 try using Rapid Growth, Combat Clinic, Assassination, Relentless Assault, Espionage, and Cerberus.
Do you only have Hope and Vanille together for quick healing? Or some other reason. Cuz I would probably use Lightning as a second ravager. She's a decent medic as well.
How did Roar not pwn your party? Not damage wise but the status-ailments make all my guys immovable.
ok all my guys have 25% damage resistance, you have like 15% on 2 of yours, yet the turtle is dealing only 5k damage to you and 8-10k damage on me??
@BuizeL18
ps3 has higher base quality than xbox 360. both can be upscaled though. I'm playing the xbox version with a hd cable and a 50" tv.
@wanderer78 I'm pretty sure it is. They're just a very rare drop. I've beaten Orphan and i've killed about 10 with 2 collector's catalogs and i've only had 3 platinum ingots and no trapezohedrons :/
@TheFunnybone I am, yes FF 13 is inferior in terms of graphics a little bit but the 360 has better games overall. they have almost every PS3 game and more.
@TheVerk51 Yup. The only mission I haven't completed is 54: Gigantuar. I'm trying to max out everything before I reattempt it.
Great guide. Thanks!
thanks man, this is awesome!
What's with killing the legs? I thought it was one monster, and what would happen if you DID kill a leg?
which mission or area do you get the genji gloves and what hp should my chars be at for that mission
I noticed in your accessories you don't have any added protection against "Roar", yet none of your characters were stopped. Was this just luck? or am I missing something else?
@topito1994 By letting a character equip his or her ultimate weapon, like Lightning's Omega Weapon or in this case, Fang's Kain's Lance, you earn an extra ATB slot.
I have to say that your technique is a bit sloppy. :\ I dunno if you recorded this while you were out of practice or what. But you really don't need to keep driving the chain gauge up after staggering a leg, if Fang is as well leveled as yours seems to be. Highwind will knock the leg out pretty much guaranteed with Kain's Lance. So you should have Highwind queue'd up and ready to mash X the moment the leg staggers. Also, after killing the left foreleg, you should toss a single Ruin at the right leg to target it for your Ravagers. Otherwise they'll waste time retargeting the head by default.
Next, when you realize your Imperils aren't needed (because Vanille already stuck it), why are you manually cancelling out your ATB commands? You don't need to do that. Just Paradigm Shift, that will clear out your ATB bar.
Next, why aren't you using the ATB trick to get additional ATB charges? You even have a Paradigm slot free. You should have a duplicate Relentless Assault paradigm in your deck so you can sneak in some free charges.
Finally, by doing your buffing after the turtle topples, you're wasting valuable attack time. You should get your buffs done before it falls, so all you have to do is debuffs and then get right to boosting the chain gauge. If you can fit in a Tri-Disaster Paradigm this can help get him staggered quicker. Remember that the only way to kill him in a single Stagger is to minimize any post-collapse time spent doing anything other than pummelling him for max damage. So you want to buff before collapse, debuff swiftly, stagger swiftly, and then pour on the damage.
If you want to advertise an efficient turtle farming method you've got to record a video showing tight, efficient turtle smashing. Single stagger is definitely possible with your equipment and levels, you can absolutely go faster.
yeah thats true
there was also not cancelling the debuff chain after a debuff was successful
He beat the damn thing! didn't know that there was a wrong way of doing something when the outcome is successful.
I didn't have enough HP, basically I didn't know it was a beast I thought it was good for some reason. then I tried to get closer to it and basically I got stomped after him doing it two tries. ;-;
