  • This is taking me so freakin long to do! I have everything in order, its just that v's death wont work!

  • After trying for ages to death kill the fucking neochu, I finally do it, only to realize that I forgot to set up the other paradigms -_-

  • R.I.P Final Fantasy. You'll be missed!

  • Killed him in like 2 mins. LOL!

    Death came in lucky for me.

    As for the little guys, I used Vanilles summon just to kill them all. LOL! I was being lazy.

  • thanks dude good way to kill him im going to try now :D btw when u get the growth egg and give in to the player in ur party does this mean they have to end the battle to get double xp or just have in the ur party?

  • Hope, heal Fang... HOPE HEAL FANG! Don't bother about me HEAL FANG DAMNIT!!!!

  • omg, I spent almost 1 1/2 hr doing this.. finally right when Vanille was bout to die, my last death worked, then I quickly summoned Hecatoncheir and it killed like 3 of those stupid picos omg so close to losing....

  • It worked on my first try! Thanks :)

  • i still haven't beat him .... i won't give up though.

  • i got lucky on my 2nd try he succumbed to death after the 3rd try (seems 3 and 5 casts is the magic number, i'd say if you dont get it within those try again) but the lil guys got me lol, i forgot like the Ochu u have to kill them too.

  • i just cast death 1 time and he death :D

    i think i lucky

  • it won't work for me, i tried more than ten times already!!!

  • I beat the boss,but i died like 5 or 6 times in a row.

    I used 2 shrouds to fix the problem,and started the attack paradigm as the main one to attack first hand.

    I got 5 stars for my hard work.

  • i'm pretty sure screech attack is a response to the damage u inflict on him. when i use vanille to cast death while the others keep me alive, screech barely damages half my full health, but when i go all out attack, screech kills me instantly

  • Belladona Wand does not increase the success of Death beyond 1%, but it does help any other debuffs landing, each of which increases the chance by 1%

    Now that I have beaten an Adamantoise with Sazh's Blitz at Crystarium 9, and found it a much better method than Death, I wonder whether it would work on the Neochu. Possibly it is too small a target, or the Picochus would get in the way

    If it works, it could save future players of this Mission anywhere up to several hours of their RL

  • I beat them :)

    I just kept casting Imperil in the SAB/SEN/MED paradigm to build the chain gauge for the little ones. Your sentinel probably uses Vendetta, and debuffing deals extra damage ^_^ I used Vanille, Snow, and Hope.

  • just did this a minute ago and it works, just keep casting death while u got a

    sab/sen/med group and kept me healed until screech. Best advice is to keep trying and at least be starting LV. 5 crystalarium cause i failed a lot trying it early on.

  • I hate casting death

  • If I hear Vanille asking me "is it really over?" one more time I'll go insane, I swear.

  • Make sure to cast Imperil on the Neochu. It raises the chance of Death working.

  • everytime i hear the laughter of those anoyying picochus it just pisses me off.

  • I liked pounding the shit outta him more :)

  • This motherfucker is annoying as hell.

  • I death spammed then forgot to have an offensive role at all in my paradigms, so I had to spend forever in SAB/MED/SEN and death spammed all of the little ones too! Mega fail on my behalf.

    To all of your who are taking these things on, make sure you have a Relentless Assault or something!

  • I think I killed one of these things in one of Titan's challenges, but then that was a while ago. I cant do it now :(

  • HOLY S*** I JUST GOT SO LUCKY I GOT DEATH TO HIT THE FIRST TIME I CAST IT FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!!

    2 minutes 39 seconds!!!!!

  • I don't care if it takes twenty minutes and I get 0 stars for this fight.

    I just want the damn growth egg...

  • FINALLY FUCKING DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • HELL FREAKING YEAH I DID IT . Neochu that piece of crap just wouldn't die. I cast Death on him like 20 times and he wouldn't die. Then on one fight, the third time I cast Death he died

  • Fuckin' hell! I don't have any shrouds!!!

  • i basically did the same cept i used snow instead of fang. more hp and he has a weapon that improves guard :) i also gave him hp accessories and gave the auto haste accessories to hope and vanille. also used aegisil xD

    after death worked i used sab med sen to imperil the lil ones and switched to med syn sen to buff with the en- spells and faith and killed them off slowly with com med sen, took me around 8 minutes.

  • If this was ff7 he would definitely be a weapon. not Ruby or Ultima but turd. yea "Turd Weopon"

  • even Orphan was easier

  • BEYOND PISSED OFF!!!! I finally manage to pull off the death spell after an hour of trying and then a second later the little pricks kill me

  • @seraphiel1 I kinda felt sorry for u ..... I just beat this Neochu in first try with Death and BAM I won! Those little onions don't stand a chance against me XD

  • @seraphiel1 lmao!

  • @seraphiel1 i got lucky i died the first time but after 3 more on the next i got it

  • @seraphiel1

    lol!!!!!!!! sucks :( was a fun fight but annoying

  • @seraphiel1 FCK!!! the same happens to me jajajjajaja

  • Is Hp above 10K is considered a low level? If so then I would like to try this strategy... This STUPID bulb is a LOT harder than a Zirnitra :<

  • Yesterday i beat that mark..I have to say that i tried it 4 times.It took me 4 tries max to death it and i have to say that the real problem were the picochus cause they were kinda hard to death them! Finally i got the growth egg...I can't understand some people saying that it is so hard to cast death on him, I think that 15 tries are ok

  • 2nd attempt, 2'20mn, 5 stars! so happy!

    I just did it with Vanille, Hope and Fang. Death worked on the third launch, then Fang burst the picochus! Respectively, Vanille, Hope and Fang had 11555, 8585 and 11115 HP. None had his fifth level complete (just the medic one with Vanille, useless in this battle).

    Now I can enjoy the level up thing!

  • @splendora Just a precision, maybe it can help : These are my characters caracteristics (Strenght and Magic respectively) : Vanille : 1093/1442 Hope : 913/1824 Fang : 1970/1072

  • how do i cast death so death so easily? ive tried about 40 times and no luck what so ever.....

  • Ffxiii ultima

  • Ffxiii ultimate

  • thanks for this, saved me a lot of time

  • OMG!!!!! I finally killed that fucker yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­y

  • @levonrencher1 i dnt have tose weird things that give u shield and the other stuff and i cant beat it is there anter way to get thos by battaling in that chapter

  • @14justinmiranda it all draws down to hp and luck work on increasing your partys health and just keep trying, it will happen eventually

  • if you equip nimbletoe boots(upgrade whistlewind scarf) with the sprint shoes it gives you 10% faster ATB charge, so you get more time for death spamming even after the haste wears off

  • thank you ;______; thank you so much.

    I followed this exact strategy and FINALLY beat this monster.

  • I did this except with snow. My paradigms were vanille snow hope. Med sen med, syn sen syn, and sab sen med. I did first time and failed. Also failed second time. Third, killed with one death.... For the little guys...forgot a offensive paradigms so i had to do enfire and imperil to make death stronger to try to kill them. Snow helped with counter but was weak o.o

  • First half of strategy was amazing... however dont do med med com do rav med sen cuz with 2 meds they attack everyone and youll most likely die :/ I kno from experience T~T SO CLOSE

  • Death Spell is got like 1% or 2% of success on it.. But if u want it to make it Higher upgrade Vanille's weapon to 2nd Tier and cast Imperil on Neochu.. that' will make easier

  • @RumorsAhead Brilliant!! I upgraded from Belladonna Wand to L22 Malboro Wand and spammed Imperil until it stuck, then it only took one cast of Death and the mutha went down. Also, consumed Fortisol and Aegisol before the battle.

  • @wagbyname i used my Fortisol and Aegisol on the last boss in this chapter is there another way to get one of those in that chapter by battaling

  • @14justinmiranda hi there - check out Final Fantasy Wikia / Shroud - but as far as i know, if you arm yourself with a Survivalist Catalogue there's a pretty good chance Aegisol will get dropped by an enemy or two. as for Fortisol - very difficult to get your hands on, except after beating Rosch's Proudclad (2nd battle) you can buy Fortisol (and Aegisol) at Eden Pharmaceuticals in Shop.

  • @wagbyname beat it

    

  • @wagbyname Your chances for shrouds to drop also increase in battles that you get low scores on. I don't have the numbers with me, but if you want to go shroud hunting then you should go after really short battles with high level equipment and take more time than needed.

  • yeah it's not that big guy i'm worrying about, it's those little white pests that are the real problem once that fortisol's worked out.

  • My best advice is the Attrition(Sab-Med-Sen) paradigm. Vanille, Hope, Fang as the party. Hope will (most likely) keep Fang healed as she is attacked while you use Vanille to try and instantly kill the Neochu. It worked for me after about 7 tries. Got 5 stars, and on top of that, I used Hecatoncheir to kill off the Picochu's and received the Limit Breaker trophy without even trying to! How cool is that!

  • can it also be the neochu that you fight in the titan trials, or is it a mission reward?

  • i think if you try to cast fog and pain for like one round it helps..

    i've tried this soo many times and when i did this it worked... so maybe??

  • I,ve been trying over an hour .. and WTF nothing succeed :(... how do i improve DEATh chances ??

  • @HSaAaNoOoH2 Death will have a really low chance no matter what, but death's success rate is based on how many debuffs are on the target.

  • @HSaAaNoOoH2 Malbaro Wand. and Sorcerers mark.

  • where the hell do i get sprint shoes? i dont have any tetradic tiaras =/

  • @Makotico if you have a tetradic crown you can upgrade it into a tetradic tiara then dismantle that and you will get 1 pair of sprint shoes

  • Owwyess I did it with 5 stars ! :>

  • how do you get to oerba i forgot plz help

  • what I did whas using Vanille/Lightning/Snow and the set ups: SAB/MED/SEN and RAV/MED/SEN with the equips Sprint shoes on all (can be replaced with an pre-casted item) and then 2 Sorceress Mark Stared on Van and Light and 2 Black Belt Stared on Snow, also make sure that Van and Light got 4500+ hp and snow 6500+

  • This monster is so strong.. I keep dying.. I just got lucky when i cast death at the start of the battle.. He died.. Haha.. I spam death to it until i die.. And reload/retry, same thing again.. I use Sab/Med/Sen with the use of shrouds.. I got 5 stars rating at the battle afterwards..

  • Fucker took me forever. But the Growth Egg makes it all worth while.

  • low level? i got like 3k HP thats low level and this is pissing me off!

  • Death Noob

  • i try this before i move to chapter 12

    and it works! thanks a lot!!

  • Tried Death for the very first time on this 2 million+ health bitch and killed him instantly then took care of the other little ones in less than 2 minutes giving me a 5 star post-battle rating and my growth egg...good shit!

  • Every time even with sentinel and med first attacks are all on vanilla fml and she dies even tho I have 8000 health maxed malboro wand 2x weird glyph both maxed and maxed champs belt

  • Thats really a luck thing. Obviously it helps if you're using some malboro wand...

  • Hey im in chapter 13 could i go back and get the mission?

  • @Rizeawake yes you can if you done with the game you see still the 2 gates too get back too Gran Pulse

  • one more paradigm, med, sen, syn...use aegisol and fortisol b4 battle...

    so it is a low level party...i farm a lil bit of CP after barthandelus battle to get this stats

    apart from death on neochu, the hardest part is the saplings. kill at least two of them before buffs ends, or it will become horrible

    summon is no no, vanille will die..use combat clinic, and once all are green health, use entourage to let hope buff protects...if anything goes bad, renew...i finished the battle in 8 minutes :)

  • party=vanille(leader), snow, hope

    vanille:4285hp ,str 456, mag 956, belladona wand lvl1, max Gaian Ring, 2 level 1 sorcerer's mark

    snow:6330hp, str 672, mag 440, power circle lvl 1, 2 max royal armlet, one max gaian ring

    hope:4195hp, str 432, mag 983, hawkeye lvl 1, 2 lvl 1 sorcerer's mark, one lvl 1 diamond bangle

    paradigm: sab, sen, med

    ravager, sentinel, medic

    combat clinic

    all the stats above aided by the accessories already. once neochu goes down, cast imperil to all saplings, and firaga

  • i accidentally killed the neochu with a second attempt of death with only an imperil debuff in place the other party members were in sen

  • It worked :)

    target time: 19:27

    battle duration: 3:32

    5*

    suck my dick with that massive mouth you Neochu douche

  • suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a piss take, spamming death, my med dies, i figure gotta restart now but i'll give 1 more death a shot... the cunt dies and i go down instantaneously after him... <<< Sod's law...fml

  • I tried for 3 hours. Over 170 Deaths casted. What should I do to make it work?

    I have Marlboro Wand *

  • @xDAZZE i suggest you upgrade it even more

  • @animetsuki13 nvm I got it xD

    Just unlucky

  • Thats of course for the people who aren't doing low level!!! Otherwise just keep trying with death!

  • Guys, have lionheart equiped (with random: Instant chain enabled - look it up) on light and spam ruinga with Fang to kill the little ones, then just use COM/RAV/SEN with Snow as the sentinel and light will eventually stagger neochu, then switch to COM/COM/COM to tear him to pieces :)

  • lame 6 min to take out these low lvl pichochus =,=

  • NO no no.. death spam is not working for me.. i 5 star this w/o using death spam anyway.. just like to share that 1 alternative is using Instant stagger ability.

    1st - syn syn sen

    2nd- com sen med

    3rd- blitz all the way to those seedlings till dead

    4th- com sen com (the 2 com must have the instant stagger ability)

    5th- com com com (if luck is in your side, the neochu will get staggered, 2m hp is so like 2 turns with fang on the team)

  • takes a bit of luck, but this works

  • i've killed it 7 times but it doesn't give me the egg, why does that hapen??

    i have also finishid all the missions

    i dont know what to do, did this hapen to any of you??

  • NOOO WHAT THE FUCK!!!, I KILLED NEOCHU BUT THE DAMN PICOCHUS KILLED ME!!!! SHITT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD JUST DISSAPEAR!!!

  • more easier if the party

    Van/Snow/Fang

    Sab/Sen/Sen

    after you killing the big thing switch to

    med/Sen/Com

  • @abo3lianTV thats what i did :)

  • took me about 10 tries b4 i actually killed them

  • yay i did it thanks 4 da tip ^__^

  • Ami me hace ataques de 10.000 puntos a todo el grupo, tenga o no protector.

    Esta tecnica no me sirve pa na----

  • the game makers really wanted you to kill something before you could beat this mission!

  • You said that you did this as a low level, What were your levels and equipment at when you did this? The bastard keeps killing me on one shot before i even have a chance to pull of Death, its really annoying lol.

  • wow that was a pain in the ass but it was well worth it

    thanks for posting the info :)

  • I got so pissed at those bastard little picochus and screech... i felt like beating someone up... XD Its so weird that when I stop trying death works... took me at least 10 retries...same thing happend to me in FFX with the chocobo race.... I just stopped trying then got 0.0

  • @xxxRaKixxx Ditto. When i finally got the sun sigil I was half sleep/pissed and it was like a huge weight lifted lolz. i was like "I am never starting a new game again"

  • @xxxRaKixxx Ditto. When i finally got the sun sigil I was half sleep/pissed and it was like a huge weight lifted lolz. i was like "I am never starting a new game again"

  • @xxxRaKixxx Comparing the chocobo race 0.0 time task in FFX to this is an insult. Achieving that time was the hardest challenge I have ever done in a game and ever will.

  • @SonsoftheProphets 200 lightning dodges and the tedious blitz ball games :(

    I only did it to kill Penance and say I did everything in the game. That's all I wanted to do.

  • @Phaiyte well done for that, cause the makers of Final Fantasy XII can kiss my ass if they expect me to dodge 200 lightning botls. I wasn't able to defeat Penance even with getting the Sun Sigil though. So I guess you doing those 2 extra tasks paid off then. I was able to defeat all the Dark Aeons though.

  • @SonsoftheProphets Well, you only really need Tidus, Rikku, and Wakka for any high level gameplay like that. The other members are honestly just a waste of time. Blitzball's pretty gay though and took forever to get Wakka's weapon out of it.

  • i've did 50 battles and death never worked, w8 it did but only for neochu (screech and i die)

  • ive defeated orphan and got really high stats so i dont think i need to do all this 'death' business :) ?

  • people said i needed death for the giant turtles too but i beat them without death do i really need death for this mission

  • sweet did this in 3 minutes lucky death lol

  • I must've tried this 5-10 times, and finally I got a battle where death not only connected, but connected the first time I used it... Pretty limited-utility item though - spend a few hours grinding bombs with it, and you're done. Gold Watch lasted a little longer, I suppose, but I'm done with that too...

  • I did it without tonics, withless and and in 4 minutes. Death worked the first time I used it xDDDD

  • @Zircank

    Lucky! The only threat is when he uses Screech. Even if I do survive, the small enemies can kill me in a few seconds.

  • @Zircank

    I just beat him by the way. CP farming will be much faster now :D

  • I did this method, but because I didn't put on any good paragims for combatting, I just summoned Vanilles Summon and it killed a few of those little buggers and left like 2 left with the tiniest amount of health. :D

  • Damn that's an extremely low level party.

    Especially for that mission.

  • yo vanille death spel is known as deathward righ?

  • @JKTProductionzIncNCo Wrong.

    Deathward is a percentage of increased proection against death.

    Her spells name is death.

  • fucking genius shit right here...even though it's so damn simple.

  • Brilliant guide. Manged to pull off death in second attempt, but facepalmed after seeing how easy those tiny ones were, and for not making a more offensive paradigm than Med, Med, Commando. Anyways, finished in 2:24 battle duration, 5 beautiful stars (thankfully, as this would be lame having to redo), and last but not least, the growth egg :D

  • I tried this for over an hour, never worked. One of the most frustrating things I've done in this game...

  • you could use your summon to help you out as it restores all the party's health afterwards.

  • Death finally worked for me after about half an hour. It was lucky because I was about to give up and decided to try one last time. Then it worked! The hard part was actually killing those frickin little pests that keep bashing you. I was constantly healing and kept spamming Vanille's Death move on them until it worked on them as well. The whole battle lasted probably about a good hour for me but it was worth it :) CP builds up like crazy if you use that precious growth egg!

  • This battle is simply luck....I did it over and over for an hour without one death hit, then quit out of frustration. The next day, I woke up and tried it and it worked on the first try.

  • @poopq00q omg exact same thing heppened to me

  • If you have problems with pollen just use the Dispelga tecnique

  • spammed death till it killed all but 1 then killed him normally, only the big guy and 1 other died from the effect yet still got 5 stars ..... after 16 min of pure death

  • omg, I just killed Neochu like 3 times in the ast 1 hour, but the minions are the stuff killing me, lol, I am embarassed, they keep ganging up on me

  • @yflashinglights get snow and have him in sentinel ALWAYS with hope as medic ALWAYS

    after you kill neochu, you can switch to rav/sen/med or stay sab/syn/med to take out each picochu.

    occasionally switch to med/sen/syn to let hope protect and haste everyone, and you spam heal

  • thanks for the easy win did this in about 20 game overs but it was well worth it thanks again

  • I hate this so bad...15k avg hp on all charas and screech is gay...

    death noob spam time :D

    good place for farming cp with the growth egg is at northern expanse, that king behemoth fighting the megistotheron (or w/e)...easy 6600 w/o growth egg and 13200 w/ growth egg...i kill them in 9 seconds (on average)...so major cp farm time soon. 5* if i kill it today, if not 0* :P j/k 5***

  • spamming death isn't all reliable 4 most people. i have been doing this to long and no results this is really triesome. any tips on spamming death

  • @homelikewater increase Vanille's Magic and max Malboro Wand.

  • This battle took me quite a few tries to get through. Luck seemed to be on my side on my last attempt, because I was able to bring that bad boy down by spamming Death five times. I was pretty shocked and immediately rejoiced -- but then I remembered that I also had those Picochus to take care of. XD

    My Belladona Wand was on star level and I didn't even need to upgrade it up to Malboro Wand to get better chances.

  • Comment removed

  • how comes your death kills him and when i do it doest work and i die help :S

  • with Malboro wand lv 32 I think and Fortisol, at chapter 13 with most crystarium maxed, this enemy kicks Vanilla's ass in like 5-6 seconds. She has about 6000 HP. What am I doing wrong?

  • @luckytrifle if your vanille has 6k hp with cryst maxed and fortisol you have a problem , i have tier 10 half complete and she has 11-12 k hp ( including a plat and diamond bangle)

  • @TheBlitzkriegking Eventually killed it, it's very luck-tied though. I had to equip Vanille with lots of HP increasing accessories and max the Malboro Wand. That made death hit at the second time I retried the battle. The picochus are to be feared after though. You need a paradigm with at least a healer and a sentinel for them.

  • If you need to use Death again, debuff the enemy as each debuff increases the chance of Death to hit by 1%

  • 32 minutes death spam I will never do somethin like that again... but it was worth it^^

  • Took me over an hour to do. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

  • Picochu, Pikachu? PI-CO-CHUU xd picochus are god dam annoying

  • i hate this small enemies!!!!!!!!!!

  • haha i used death on my first try and killed him im sooo lucky finished the whole battle in 3mins!!!!!!!!!

  • i finally got death to work on my 4th try. i instantly died after that.

  • @kenjileon I would of paid money to witness your reaction upon that happening

  • have you already used libra before starting the fight beciase u use death 7 tyms and i use it bout 8 9 and then he uses screech or wotever its called my point is that he wont die of death im useing it more than u have and looking at my hp to urs i have a 1000 or 2000 more? :S

  • how can you fill the ATB gauge that fast?? I have the synthesized abilities of atb speed + 30% and when i cast haste my gauge doesn't fill as fast as yours :S

  • how much does Belladonna Wand increase the succeed rate?

    becouse when i get 1 trapzohedrn i maxed out Belladonna Wand into nivarna and dismantled it for 3 trapzhodren and i used all of the money to give lighting omega weapon. and my characters have 10000 HP average.

  • i thought i'd try and be cool and beat it old fashioned way, so five mins into battle i'm doin pretty well, then i'm like damn i need to peepee so i'm like ugh i'll try death with vanille. then BOOOM the thing is dead and i get to go pee faster LOL

  • you get so happy when that shit actually works XD hahaha

  • hi how long does the auto haste last for?

  • @asherwolves not very long, maybe like 45 sec.

  • lcky lucky guy killin him with death and avoidin that fuckin n freakin screech attack

    well done whatever

  • I JUST BEAT HIM!!!!!!!! XD took 16:44 but it was SSSSSOOOOOO worth it. Sad part about it was I took out the big guy in a couple of turns. Those lil ones are some @#$%^&'s!!!!! omg they just kept coming. no way in hell should I have even tried this mission prolly, my highest hp was Snow w/ 5840 heeheehee *moonwalks away*

  • dude that was so sweet xD i deathed it in ONE death and just kicked the mini's asses

  • I FUZIN LOVE YOU I KILLED IT ON MY THIRD DEATH TOO then i summoned that guy and finished the rest of easy peazy i did it in 7:06 and was able to get limit break trophy and five stars i repeat I LOVE YOU

  • thanks alot for this ^_^ i did this method and killed him on my third death. LOL! i kinda sat there for a minute like O.0...that was easy..

  • I'm trying this setup on Neochu in the challenges of Titan, but Death never cast. My stats are way higher than yours, that's strange. I have over 10 000 HP for each character, then i can stand up for a long time. I tried Death with all buffs and debuf ON (only imperil seems to catch him though), during 30 minutes....nothing. :(

    I guess i just have to keep trying, that's pure luck.

  • Debuffing enemys raises deaths success rate! :) 

  • good job (Y)

  • i just did it in titans trials

    took me almost an hour

    after i decided to try the mission itself

    took me 12 seconds

    wat are the odds
