Final Fantasy XIII - Adamantoise (No Summons)

- 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. - เกม

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
Brings back good memories of spamming paradigm shift
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!
I like how you waited just a bit longer b4 using highwind in the end just to make it epic! lol
Thank you very much for an informative, clear and concise video, much appreciated :D
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
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.
Ride ze shoopuff?
"Dangerous when shoopuf’s close! Wants to be shmooshed?"
LMAO. Thanks, that cracked me up. ^_^
All aboard!
When I played this game years ago I just assumed that this monster was unkillable
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
This was very good, not like others where they buff their party before battle, or using a summon. Well played.
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
thanks for the help I never knew highwind was that useful.
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.
Thanks! This tatic works really well!
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
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*
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.
Great guide. Thanks!
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.
I like your strategy. Especially the 'Switch-to-dual-meds-as-you're-about-to-get-knocked-down' thing. Very sneaky :P
thanks man, this is awesome!
great walktrough!
if they ever do an international rerelease titan better be a fucking boss.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
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.
@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
Trapzeohedron. Was just too lazy to figure out how to spell it when I typed it.
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.
this video helped me out a lot. now im not intimidated of fighting adamantoises! lol
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.
@PeronMiles Yes. You get warp points that let you go to most areas of the game.
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
@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
@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.
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)
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.
@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.
Highwind should be used as a finishing move right before a Stagger ends since it resets your chaining progress.
I miss this game. I wish I still had my PS3, so I could boot it up and hunt some turtles.
@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
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.
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 😔
i got this game today but i can't play it right now....OMG I CANT WAIT!!!!!!
@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.
@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.
@Baka461 wrong.. gold dust are dropped by adamanchelids, which are the ones that don't have chains around their legs...
AWESOME NICE JOB
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 -___-
what mission do you get the collectors catalog in? and can you get it again if you redo the mission?
can you tell me where to get genji gloves? and the dragoon lance or whatever weapon you used on fang
that kind of sux. all this hard work to show this and NO TRAPEZEHEDRON1 THAT'S AN OUTRAGE!
How do you do your Highwind attack from far away, in mine Fang always ends up running towards his leg and attacks it directly. Or am I missing something? Also I am using Glaive maxed out but I have yet to find a freaking Trapezoid delio.
@TheVerk51 Yup. The only mission I haven't completed is 54: Gigantuar. I'm trying to max out everything before I reattempt it.
AWESOME !!!!
@wateverwill uhhhh where do you get it im in chapter 11???
Just a quick question would this strategy work on the long gui's if i have the crysterium maxed and i have tier 3 weapons for everyone with Fangs at max
which mission or area do you get the genji gloves and what hp should my chars be at for that mission
does gengi gloves apply only to when ur attacking? or does it raise the dmg cap to 999,999 with magic atks too?
@SilentStep64 did u complete all of the Faultwarrens missions yet?
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.
@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.
i cant kill the second leg whit highwind i stagger it up too 800%!!! when i use highwind and its still standing! what am i doing wrong?
NO 40,000 originally. He has growth egg which doubles to amount of CP in battles.
Wow! Those things still one-hit-kill my whole party with a single stomp.
@Chrissyyyyyo9 Nothing else. What is the 360 good for then?
Hey, how did you get 6 ATB bars? I have all my base roles for all characters maxed out and I don't see a new ATB level on the Crystarium.
@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.
NICELY DONE. :D
@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
@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.
Good job buddy good job
@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.
@Soldier941243 Upgrade any of Fang's Tier 2 weapons with a Trapezohedron once they reach level 41 or level 61
@TheLiveGames hey bro where do you get the genji gloves
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.
what does improved counter do?
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.
@TheWolfnoise What was yours?
@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.
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.
@JWPnim
can you send me a pm with what weapons to upgrade for each character, why, and with what?
I'd really appreciate it, I am clueless in the weapons department. thanks
Have you tried pressing right directional button while in Abilities menu?
@TonePottery
I believe Sentinel have this passive where
if they are on the field everyone takes half dmg.
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.
what weapon does fang have in this video somebody plz tell me.
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!
@kamm841 Actually, they become the Long Gui's after you do the 5 missions shaped like a ring in the Steppe.
@sireenn Yeah I was a bit annoyed because I was looking all over for how you could pass that limit, and kept coming up empty.
how long did u CP farm to get those high stats? & how did u find all of those equipments?
Why do you cast Slow? It doesn't (seem to) have any effect at all.
@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!
THAT WAS FKING AWESOME
I remember trying to fight the one in Eden. I thought it was another Admanchild. Boy was I surprised. o.o
@brewerfan347 try using Rapid Growth, Combat Clinic, Assassination, Relentless Assault, Espionage, and Cerberus.
Is Kain's Lance necessary to 1 hit kill his leg with Highwind when staggered?
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?
where can i get genji gloves?? i need them
