Final Fantasy XIII-2

[TheForeignGamer]

Yeah, I found Odin really easy. I guess I'm the black sheep in this situation

And yeah the first one was confusing as hell, but at least they had the courtesy to provide someone who heals you

[Ringwraith]

Well, it would be unwinnable otherwise seeing as you completely lack a medic.
I still got confused constantly, and it's when I finally figured out you can (and should) Libra things multiple times.
I also didn't have much trouble with Odin, but still took a couple of tries, but they all do unless you know beforehand how to do it.

Hekatonkheires gave me the most trouble of all the summons as well.

I forget the exact method I used to beat him, but I believe it involved switching to Sentinel shortly before he does his most powerful attack.

[Ringwraith]

Pretty much, just make sure you've switched to sentinel during his attacks, otherwise you'll be spending half the battle on your backside.

I'm sure I'll beat Hetacon eventually. And I'm prepared for the worst yet to come. I'll likely grind on the Steppe for fast levels.

Him and the final dungeon, especially the final boss are the hardest parts of the main game I found. Of course post game stuff is probably way harder, but I didn't do much of that.

[raspberrylicious]

Just poison the fuck out of the final boss and you'll do fine.

[Ringwraith]

Indeed, there are no status aliment that aren't useful in this game.

Spoiler:

The final boss is even vulnerable to Death.

[AsukaNeumaki]

Yeah but that boss is so easy anyway he's like the Yu Yevon of FFXIII

[Ringwraith]

I'd disagree.

Spoiler:

Seeing as you literally cannot die during that one, unless you try really hard anyway.
Good thing though, as otherwise you'd go back miles upon losing.

[AsukaNeumaki]

Well yeah but still its just SYN/COM/RAV then switch to RAV/COM/RAV and you pretty much win as long as your COM has Launch which is pretty much impossible to not have unless your doing a No Crystarium playthrough

[Prinapocalypse]

I had a lot more trouble than that. I might have been under-leveled perhaps though.

[Ringwraith]

Spoiler:

Basically, don't dawdle, otherwise you're gonna have Death cast your way, and it's not anything like the version anything else uses.
Although you can't dawdle too long even if you survive the Death spam.

Something that's easy to forget is that the game has an Easy mode, in the options, to be toggled on and off at will. So if you're really struggling, you still have another option.

[TheForeignGamer]

Are we still talking about XIII? Because I have never heard of this "Easy Mode". :O

[Ringwraith]

Oh nevermind, it was only added into the Japanese versions of the game for some reason.
Shame really, would've helped you out a lot, as it slows down Doom counters.
