    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.

      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

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.

      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.

    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)

      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.

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.

    Barthandelus was the turning point in the game for me that finally sold me on XIII. Both in gameplay with needing to strategise the most against him, and the plot twist to the story involving him. That speech he gives to the party before you fight him still gives me chills.

    You know, you don't have to manually input "Blitz" over and over like that. If you want to use the same combination more than once in a row, holding right while highlighting Abilities lets you use the "Repeat" command to recall the last sequence of abilities you used when last you were in control of the current Role.

    To all people struggling. That boss drove me mad and I wanted to play with light hope vanilla. It is just nearly impossible without sazh. He has the best buffs to kill him. (especially the speed boost). I Beat him with Sazh on my first try. (after more than a dozen with Light hope vanilla).

    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. With doctor's code equipped on Lightning and about 40 potions, the fight is a lot more manageable than you might think- it's just entirely frustrating when you die very close to the end.

    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.

    @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 We already know what happens after the ending scene; at some point in the far future, Ultimecia comes to power, and her reign ends when the SeeDs travel into the future and kill her when she starts time compression. The ending scene has nothing to do with anything. We don't know what happens to Rinoa or anyone else. Rinoa may be persecuted for being a sorceress, she may just stay out of Esthar and live around people who don't know she's a sorceress, but it doesn't matter.
