    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

      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.

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.

    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.

But this battle here, the twist reveal, the soundtrack, Barthandelus's lines, caught the magic of the older FF's right here. This moment here was just so excellent and I remember just thinking to myself "omg this battle theme is an absolute banger!" throughout the boss fight.

    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.

    Quick question. When Sazh pointed his gun at Nabaat, WHAT THE FUCK WAS SHE THINKING?
    She's a human. She can't dodge or withstand bullets. All it takes is one shot or two if you miss her head. After that, she'll be out cold forever. This is ridiculous. She just walks up to her death sentence and draws a poorly made police baton. What the hell was she thinking?
    I mean, let's take Sazh's gun out of the equation for a while. Let's assume she walked up to them and they had all other weapons _except_ Sazh's guns. Well she'd still fucking lose because, unlike every other enemy in the game, she's a fucking human with no armor on her. Just cast fire on her and watch her turn to fucking cinder in the blink of an eye. I mean, Barthandelus casted ruin on her and she died. What made her think she could withstand the wrath of six powerful l'cie which single-handedly murdered her entire fleet?
    This scene annoys me so much.
    "You eminence, please escape. I'll grant you an extra second or two before I get brutally murdered due to my stupidity."
    Hell, all she had to do to even stand a chance was just wait for all the soldiers and engineers in the room to assist her, somehow, before Barthandelus murdered them. But NOPE! She just walks up to them, practically holding a "kill me" sign. Pathetic.
    Silly Nabaat. You suck...
    Also, wtf is wrong with the party? Jilh draws her weak ass baton and they go all "GASP! She drew a baton and all we have is this stupid, STUPID pistol aimed right at her fucking head. How can we POSSIBLY survive this fight? She's so intimidating with her ineffective weaponry."
