@Zer0pnp not really. it took me 110 hours to get that far but that was because i was going between Eden and Pulse and doing Titans Trials A LOT just for fun. without all the time i put into that it would have taken me about 90 hours.
@FifaScythi Do you know where the archylette step northern plains is? Befor eyou enter mah'habra, there is the grey wolflike beast and a behemoth fighting. Since you can get a preemptive strike, staggger behemoth, and kill it quikly then focus on the other monster. With growth egg, you will get 13200 cp, and around 999,999 cp every hour or 70 mins
Good video. This is arguably the toughest enemy in Final Fantasy 13. I'm sure people already know but if you're shooting for the 5 star battle rating equip the Gold Watch you receive for beating him the first time. The paradigm's I used were... Infiltration (SAB+SAB+SAB), Relentless Assault (RAV+RAV+COM), Diversity (COM+RAV+MED), Rapid Growth (SYN, SYN, SYN), Salvation (MED+MED+MED), and Tortoise (SEN+SEN+SEN). As the video illustrates try to keep poison active at all times, Vercingetorix has a colossal HP total. Outside that my only advice is to switch to Tortoise right before he uses Wicked Whirl and follow that up with some healing using Salvation. Then switch to Rapid Growth when he's in his Impenetrable Aura. Follow that with Infiltration the second he comes out attacking again, then go to town on him with Relentless Assault using Diversity when you need to heal. Rinse and Repeat. It's also important to note that he gets tougher the more HP he loses. He sprouts stronger wings at HP thresholds of 90%, 60%, and 30% so use the video's recommendation and summon when his HP gets below 25%, he's rough to finish off otherwise.
@freshy115 Its a time limit before you are forced to make an attack. Obviously, to extend the time of the poison you hold off as long as you can before making your selection.
@BlueDragon507 it doesn't matter which tier but it's better if you have the belladonna wand or it's upgraded virsion because then debuffs always work on whatever your fighting
Well that method worked, but because of over excited-ness to the point i missed Paradim change a couple times, I actually almost lost since my summon wasn't able to reach 30, and poison wore off. But hey With a million health left I still beat him. So thanks for helping me come one step closer to the Plat
Awesome job...thanks for the post! After watching your video (mainly the paradigm arrangement, and your use of it), I was able to beat Vercingetorix with a 5 star rating! Thanks again!
Thanks alot , i kinda did the part with the eidolon wrong , but i still got 4 Stars on first try ^^ finally beat the mission , gonna retry it soon to get 5 stars
I think I can give you a tip. Have the Paradigms Tortoise (SEN/SEN/SEN) and Salvation (MED/MED/MED). With these two, You can survive Wicked Whirl and quickly heal off the damage.
This works, but I missed the 5star by 1 fucking second.. Lol I'll try again later. Thx for the help cause out of all the videos on this boss, yours worked best.
so, you use the "up + X" combo? and then if you let the gauge drop, it will automatically use the same ability? is that right? or do you just wait until the last possible moment to press the button again?
YES! I did it! - I even got 5 stars!! Although: * I used Sazh at the front casting poison because Vanille can't survive! * I also had snow tanking the whole time (except when buffing) * Vanille just healed all the time. Also, one thing that helped me: After using the 'Tortoise' paradigm to defend from his nasty move, use a paradigm of SENT/SENT/MED to get back on your feet! I didn't even need to summon! Don't use Fang because she sucks balls!
You are awesome, dude! LOL! I didn't expect to beat this guy with your trick..he died from the Poison and he had like 30k HP left before I had the chance to Commando it. It was my first time mission too with 5 stars. Thanks! =D
Fuck this boss! I don't know why, but EVERY time when I'm nearing the end of Hecaton's Gestalt countdown, the poison stat just disappears and he is just barely alive at that point. Then he kills me.
GUYS. HELP. I have:- Beaten Barthandelus in Chapter 11- Completed ALL the missions from 1 - 63- Beat the game and almost have all mi characters' CPs on level 5 (the original ones, not the extra three)- Killed all of the previous UndyingI did all this and the damn Cie'th Stone for mission 64 is still dormant. Does ANYONE know what the hell is going on or know about what I have to do?!
i did it in under 7 minutes and got 5 stars first kill without gold watch. your video really helped (Y) thanks alot :P he did his really strong attack on me and i flopped when it came to switching to tortoise, i though i was dead, light and fang died so i summmoned and bullied the last 2m of his hp, i staggered him twice which was strange :S
Brilliant tactic! Iv been trying to beat this mission. I have not completed the crystarium yet though.. Im having trouble farming CP as I cant down a Long Gui in 1 stagger with Vanilles death trick, it only does like 350,000 damage. Can you give me any tips that will make it 999,999 damage or better places to farm CP please?
@Zer0pnp he might just be really good at the game. how do you know he hasn't played this before on a different profile and he already knows all the tricks?
5 років тому+1
Thank you for this video! I even got a ribbon thanks to you ^^
I beat this thing today by sheer luck. I used Vanille as the lead, with Fang & Snow as support. Vanille's job was to poision, then heal, then buff. Fang and Snow's job was to punch it to death. When it grows 3 wings and start that crazy whirl wind move, QUICKLY SWITCH EVERYONE TO "TORTOISE." Vanille MUST have this ability in place, otherwise she will die, so she needs to have the sentinel role avaliable to her. I beat it in 11:21, got 5 stars, and the gold watch. Good luck fighting it everyone.
@KOTRobioto Same here. I'm pretty under-leveled,so much so that i can't even afford to attack. Putting poison is all i can do before I'm freaking bombarded like crazy by that son of a bitch. lol I've only tried 2 times so far,but too tired to bother trying anymore for tonight. I got close on my second try. it takes getting used to,but it starts to feel easier the more you do it. I'm currently 11k Hp average with a 14k Hp max for like 1 character and 9k lowest. What stats you beat it with?
nice video. i got 4 stars when i beat it but that was without gestalt mode. and i hadn't my chars max i have all of them lvl 5 so i gone try it this way.
If you want to make this fight slightly easier - it's a good idea to let fang cast Slow on this guy - he'll stay out longer and will take longer to use any of his moves which means poison has more time work it's magic, and you can hit him for some more damage :)
I was doing perfectly with my summon until he used wicked whirl and fucked my strategy, I lost. But I'll try using these Paradigms, maybe it'll be better that way
@AllaDevie1995 uhmm i tried a safer way. it takes longer but it definately works :) have vanille fang and snow. give fang and snow their weakest weapons to increase the time and for vanille giver her a lvl1 belladonna staff or maybe a second tier version. equip everyone with damage reducing accessores like witch's bracelets and black belts. start with sab sab sen to poison it. then quickly switch to sen sen sen and use mediguard with vanille. as soon as it goes invinsible buff/heal and repeat.
+Vorpal Lets Play as long as it works safely ....... i am at over 200 Hours ( fuck this Treasure Hunter Achievement ) and any glitch that helps me get 100% faster is welcome
yeah but to those unfamilliar with the series, like me (ff 13 was the first ff I ever played) there should be an easy option... anyways, I don't hate for that :) love the characters (except hope, he's the weakest and gets killed too easily) Lightning and Vanille are my favorite girls in this game, and Snow is my boy!
yes im agre whit you this is real powerful monster they heding whit giwing a monster a Aura end Heal abelity in FF13 II thei create a twin monster Noel end Sarah fight whit the seim monster ennd seim ability
MAXED Out already So no wonder. Try doing it in my shoes idiot you will always get 4 stars. EVEN if you switch to Tortoise just when he uses his move you can still DIE!
@Zer0pnp not really. it took me 110 hours to get that far but that was because i was going between Eden and Pulse and doing Titans Trials A LOT just for fun. without all the time i put into that it would have taken me about 90 hours.
Oh wow! You let the poison drain its HP during the summon!!! 🤯
I have tried so many other methods and this has been the only one to work for me...thank you!
@Noctiquius After the last battle the game ends, am I missing something?
@FifaScythi Do you know where the archylette step northern plains is? Befor eyou enter mah'habra, there is the grey wolflike beast and a behemoth fighting. Since you can get a preemptive strike, staggger behemoth, and kill it quikly then focus on the other monster. With growth egg, you will get 13200 cp, and around 999,999 cp every hour or 70 mins

@Noctiquius Doesn't the crystarium expands after a boss battle, so how is it possible?

TYVM i tried differend tactics and your tactic got me through the mark :D
THANKS A MILLION!!!
Thanks alot , i kinda did the part with the eidolon wrong , but i still got 4 Stars on first try ^^
finally beat the mission , gonna retry it soon to get 5 stars
I think I can give you a tip. Have the Paradigms Tortoise (SEN/SEN/SEN) and Salvation (MED/MED/MED). With these two, You can survive Wicked Whirl and quickly heal off the damage.
I recently went back to get Platinums form games I never 100% completed and this is one of them, thank you for this it worked perfectly for me.
@TheletterAa but I magically didn't do it without maxing it out.
I still had lv 4 on stuff like sen for lighning and hope and lv 4 for the others to.
what does that red arrow thing do in the gesault mode? is it meant to make it more powerful once it it hits the bottom?
Duuude your guide help me a lot
I got 4 stars in 8min_47secs
Thanks man
This works, but I missed the 5star by 1 fucking second.. Lol I'll try again later. Thx for the help cause out of all the videos on this boss, yours worked best.
can anyone tell me what i have to do exactly because i dont understand the video
so, you use the "up + X" combo? and then if you let the gauge drop, it will automatically use the same ability? is that right? or do you just wait until the last possible moment to press the button again?
Thnx for this poison trick, each time it took 10min. for me.
Finally completed the game 100% :)
@fbGorillius u know i never noticed that vanilles eidolon is the only one that has a one point attack FAIL
YES! I did it! - I even got 5 stars!!
Although:
* I used Sazh at the front casting poison because Vanille can't survive!
* I also had snow tanking the whole time (except when buffing)
* Vanille just healed all the time.
Also, one thing that helped me: After using the 'Tortoise' paradigm to defend from his nasty move, use a paradigm of SENT/SENT/MED to get back on your feet!
I didn't even need to summon!
Don't use Fang because she sucks balls!
Does she?
Tf? Fang is literally one of the strongest characters in the game you probably werent even properly level to say that.
@@marioman200 I think so.
@@marioman200 She has high strength but that is all.
@@BlueGuise9 She has so much more than that.
This helped SOOO much! 5 stars with no Gold Watch....beautiful Paradigm and great accessories.
You are awesome, dude! LOL! I didn't expect to beat this guy with your trick..he died from the Poison and he had like 30k HP left before I had the chance to Commando it. It was my first time mission too with 5 stars. Thanks! =D
@AllaDevie1995 do you have the third tier weapons
Thanks, helped me a great deal. Did it 6th try with quite a low level party and with 5 stars which means I don't have to fight that bugger again!
some of the bosses of this game are so ridiculously difficult to kill its a crying shame because this game is stunning
Worked like a charm. Awesome! I was having so much trouble with this fight.
do you have to have tier 3 weapons for this? or do you think it would be okay to do it with maxed tier 2 weapons?
what items and accessories u wear to each character? thank you and great video!
Solid strategy! Thank you! Beat it on my first try and got 5 stars with Tier 2 weapons.
Does it help if you fill the gestalt gauge completely? Does it give you more points to do actions?
I love playing Vanille as the leader
Why he can´t move after you transform?
@AkumaPB ive gotta say that pretty damn amazing! was it your first time?
Fuck this boss! I don't know why, but EVERY time when I'm nearing the end of Hecaton's Gestalt countdown, the poison stat just disappears and he is just barely alive at that point. Then he kills me.

spaghettimonster2798 Are you sure you've either accepted the Cie'th stone challenge from Oerba and/or killed missions 7?
You can check out on the map press X to open the overview of all missions. There you should find which you missed.
What equipment are you wearing for your characters
i did it in under 7 minutes and got 5 stars first kill without gold watch. your video really helped (Y) thanks alot :P he did his really strong attack on me and i flopped when it came to switching to tortoise, i though i was dead, light and fang died so i summmoned and bullied the last 2m of his hp, i staggered him twice which was strange :S

this helped me beat him i was having trouble and then i tried this and only just beat him thanks for uploading this strategy
thank you for uploading this video :)
What a great time you can cast hast,ener and courage by yourself
nirvana upgraded from malboro wand (improved debuffing)
How do you get their hp so high?
Me again thank you so much after 6 tries I finally beat him with 5 stars.
Excellent video bro, i'm right behind you on this one.
It looks to be the Nirvana based on a Belladonna Wand, since she has improved Debuffing 2 : )
I play final fantasi 13 but ATB 5,how ATB 6
A Tier 3 weapon, that requires a Trapezohedron (R&D Depot for 2m or Adamantoise/Adamantortoise/Long Gui as a rare 1% drop).
@@lechondre
I disassembled 2 gengi gloves, I didn't really need 3, happy with 1 and 2 Kaiser knuckles.
i REALLY hate how his chain resets whenever he goes into impenetrable aura
he was like "fuck when can I get my turn, hurry up bitch" lol
Here is a little tip, when Vercingetorix is in impeneratuble aura, he heals 8 times everyonce ina a while he'll heal 9 times.
I beat this thing today by sheer luck. I used Vanille as the lead, with Fang & Snow as support. Vanille's job was to poision, then heal, then buff. Fang and Snow's job was to punch it to death.

good job man. this boss was killing me.
so did you get it?
I'll have to try this myself, I'll post a response if this strategy works.

PLATINUM AT LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST!!!! *dies*
It worked, best strategy ever.
I did this method and I defeated that fucking hard and painfully frustrating monster!!!!!
thx god , i did this on xbox n it rly worked. all i need is t hunter n im done with ffxiii
I was doing perfectly with my summon until he used wicked whirl and fucked my strategy, I lost.
But I'll try using these Paradigms, maybe it'll be better that way
It works...IT WORKS!
there always should be extra bosses that are incredibly hard to beat, as in all final fantasy's
got it i was down to using mediguard, about do die,and he died from poison :) hell yea, thanks man!
NICE!!!!!!!!!!! LO HACES VER MUY FACIL!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS
@AllaDevie1995 uhmm i tried a safer way. it takes longer but it definately works :)
have vanille fang and snow. give fang and snow their weakest weapons to increase the time
and for vanille giver her a lvl1 belladonna staff or maybe a second tier version. equip everyone with damage reducing accessores like witch's bracelets and black belts.
start with sab sab sen to poison it. then quickly switch to sen sen sen and use mediguard with vanille. as soon as it goes invinsible buff/heal and repeat.
This strategy doesn't work for me at all. And my characters are maxed out...
well random instant chain can kill it
@sec0ndevolution its ok i finished all missions now :)i order new FF 13-2 tomorrow :)
That really isn't the easiest way to kill Vercingetorix.
+Vorpal Lets Play
as long as it works safely .......
i am at over 200 Hours ( fuck this Treasure Hunter Achievement ) and any glitch that helps me get 100% faster is welcome
Minene Uryuu922 More of an exploit my friend, yes fuck the achievment.....one long ass grind, can get seriously 2.0 achiev from gears of war quicker.
初めまして♪ Vercingetorix 戦はワクワクしますよね～((*'ω'*))♪ 強いからワクワクするのかな？(？-？*) サイヤ人の血が流れているのかも(*^-^*)笑 (Japan).
goooooood men
@Glus95 ok fair enough loll thanks for that :P
yeah but to those unfamilliar with the series, like me (ff 13 was the first ff I ever played) there should be an easy option... anyways, I don't hate for that :) love the characters (except hope, he's the weakest and gets killed too easily) Lightning and Vanille are my favorite girls in this game, and Snow is my boy!
Makes me wanna go fight a Long Gui!
In 13-2 that thing is hella annoying
Use this video I 5 Stared this mission first go and I was under leved and geared
It is not as hard as everyone thinks
amazing strategy, my chars are a little weaker than yours and i got it second try,
well you should find your own way, i have platium for it and i have it for 13-2 =D
Hahaha, cool:)
am I the only one who never poisoned this guy because it would be cheap..?
have a cookie
Yum cookie.. Yum yum.. in my tum tum..
It's not really cheap - if they didn't want you to use it, they would of made it immune to it.
***** not really.. my record on this guy is a 15-minute mano'y mano filled with manic healings and clutch sentinels..
any tips, guys? I got 4 starts with this strategy
it sucks how you get 0 cp for this
yea i think Yomi was worse than this one
@fbGorillius When I finally get your trick to work, I ONLY GET 4 STARS! WHAT THE FUCK!!!
yes im agre whit you this is real powerful monster they heding whit giwing a monster a Aura end Heal abelity in FF13 II thei create a twin monster Noel end Sarah fight whit the seim monster ennd seim ability
What?
this is so trash
I killed it on first go with 5 stars barely even trying
Do you even know the game?
Also plated it on first go too,without guides
You're so different 🤪
MAXED Out already So no wonder. Try doing it in my shoes idiot you will always get 4 stars. EVEN if you switch to Tortoise just when he uses his move you can still DIE!
I play final fantasi 13 but ATB 5,how ATB 6
