  • I killed him using Quickenings! Dude, I've killed all but 1 of the espers I've obtained using Quickenings. When I saw all my allies MP go to 0, I'd already planned to use an Elixer on Vaan, and do a Quickening. I got a 7 hit, and I was like "He's gonna die" since he had about a 1/7 of his HP left. But he didn't die! One of my guys died, the other was about to, but I was able to hit him and that did the job...

  • I heard that once you close gates 3 and 4, you have 75 seconds before he dissapears, if he does do you have another chance to get him?

  • Ribbons ftw!

  • God I hate this esper.

    just Imagine:you are going to fight this thing. then you forgot to bring a black belt and it's to late to go back. So you fight him till his Hp drop to almost 0. Now you are thinking just a lil bit more then he use disablega you are affected. You look at the menu, the reserved char are dead. so you wait while wishing for the disable to dissapear but then you are killed by this thing first.

  • Haha :D I just love that laugh and that smile. Its so cute :D

  • did u know that when the water is still high u can see bubbles in the water thats where this guy is 

  • Fight would've been made much asier by Displling Cuchulainn.

  • Thumbs up for the Irish refrence of Cuchulainn.

  • The Garamsythe waterway eh? just which sluice gates do I need to reach this bastard?

  • @Blufire1992 Close off 10 and 3, then you should be able to access the South Sluice Gate Control I think it was, then you close off 11 and 4 and close off the North one, then close off 3 and 4 to reach Cuchulainn. If you are not prepared, you WILL get slaughtered, Regardless of how highly levelled you are. I was not expecting an Esper and so did not adequately prepare myself for the fight with Cuchulainn, my party consisted of Ashe, Basch and Vaan all at level 58 - 59.

  • @Renegade841 thanks... but my top leveled are all mid60's plus I have Reddas on my side too and with the data from this fight I know how to counter this guy so I think I'll be alright, thanks for the concern

  • I love how he looks this is my favorite Esper and one of my favorite summons of the F.F universe :D

  • I guess Ramza had it easy when he faught him.

  • Final Fantasy 13 aint got nuthin on Final Fantasy 12's battle system. AND this thing was a pain in the ass to defeat.

  • lmfao @ vaan in the end,

  • I mistook that smile at the begining of the fight BIG time e_e

  • dwarven, final fantasy GETS ther character names frum mythology and thos stuff like the guns of this game, most of em wer named after stars! and the handbombs r mostly named after volcanoes :P

  • Cu chulainn, pronounced "Cuholan", actually was a celtic demi god who had a great strength, celtic mithology says that he was one of the greatest warriors of all time. He is also known as the "celtic Aquiles".

    Cu chulainn meas "Cullan's dog", because when he was a child, he killed the strongest dog of the blacksimith called Cullan (it was a guardian dog), and in that moment he became the Cullan's personal guardian till the dog's puppy grow up.

  • oh yeah, I remember fighting him. he got on my friggin nerves big time!! kicked his big blue ass though, so im happy.

  • I hate Disablega! ><

  • unlike the other espers, this one seems to be scary :(

  • @shakew111 Unlike? They're all annying as hell to battle if you don't specialize your characters for them. Except Belias. Belias was a pushover.

  • @armaniacx23 I find myself agreeing with you there, Belias was so easy. He looks big and mean but when It comes down to it, hes really quite weak.

  • Oh god this fight, there's so much shit going on you wont even know what hit you, one of the most hectic fights in this game.

  • Always liked him, so holly jolly.

    Then I fought Ulkair in Dawn of War 2. That completely ruined fat filth and disease monsters for me.

  • Is that big fat thing meant to be CúChulainn?? The greatest warrior in Gaelic Irish history and this is how the Japanese perceive him??!!

  • @Larry2me

    tell me about it. if it had been a samurai it would be great looking but then again we never listen to anyone who lost a war hahahah

  • @Larry2me Lol i was so confused watching this video .... i was looking for videos on Cuchulain the hound of ulster.... but what has this vid got to do with him ? is the fat monster named Cuchulain or something ??

  • @becca0668 Ya I think that fat thing is meant to be Cúchulainn!!

  • @Larry2me O.O LOL really but he is a hero not a monster .....em....

  • Average player situation upon encounter:

    Player: Sweet, another Esper for my collection!

    Cuchulain:HAHAHA! WELCOME TO MY SEWER!

    Player: I'm pretty high-level right now, I can handle this no prob!

    Cuchulain: BEHOLD THE AWESOME POWERS OF MY MAGNIFICENT BEER BELLY!

    Player: JESUS H. CHRIST MY HP!

    Cuchulain: SUMMON SLIMES!

    Player:...Fuck.

    That aside, I prefer this summon, useful as hell, and that huge, dumb grin of his is just adorable.

  • all my characters are lvl 99!!! HAHAHA NOOBS!!!

  • @nigafigya hahahha! -.-' no lifer

  • @nigafigya

    ok mr no life lol

  • the average level in my party is 34,8...basch being 38,ashe 36,fran 35,balthier 34 and vaan and penelo level 33..can i fight againt cuchulainn or suggest me more level up before?

    and with this stats can i defeat the white mousse?

  • @lastyou think you need to kill white mousse first and then try this guy, hes hard -.- im lvl 45 with all chars and still got problems, im gonna kill him next time, score is me vs fat bastard 0 : 4 grrrrr

  • @lastyou It's unlikely if you dont have good equipment yet. It's highly recommended you level up some more. Problem with relying on Quickenings is that it all comes down to Luck. You could get 5 of level 1, 2 and 3, or you could get 2 level 1's, a level 2 and a level 3. Highly recommended you level some more, get some gil and get better equipment.

  • this fight was kinda easy with 2 masamunes with genji gloves and tournesol but was hard! :[

  • moi y ma bien fé chier ce clown surtout les flambos a cvoté

  • the espers here in ff xii are so uncool compared to the summons in ff X

    lamest esper ever wahhhh

  • @nandekure then dont watch videos like this

  • Cuchulainn and his creepy ass smiling... it's like he's the Jokers cousin or something...

  • I USED MIST TO KILL THIS ESPER

  • Comment removed

  • 3 Black Belts makes life so much easier...

  • Not a hard boss but incredibly annoying with the HP drain, but also fun. To counter it, I just had my characters use Regen (made the hp drain not as bad), Curaja at 50%HP, and Esunaga whenever needed. The Foobars can be easily disposed of with at least two uses of Scourge magick.

  • This guys Ugly and very jolly....uhhh gives me the creeps...lol. The guide says he was once a Beautiful thing...can't imagine what he'd look like..Santa? lol.

  • Hahaha. When I first entered the battle, I said "Oh, look how happy he is!! ^_^"

  • Hahahaha lol

  • I would like to know what esper would be the easiest to defeat among the ones who take two bars of mp to summon. (Except for Shemhazai).

  • Probably Zeromus

  • Actually...I beat Cuchulainn level 41 the most...But I think it was 36 or 39, but anyway. I beat this guy without gambits savor attack gambits (I hate gambits, they're annoying and make things too easy). Once you get Curaja just hammer away at him until your attacks start doing crappy and then finish him off with a Quickening Chain. (I actually got Black Hole on this fight so I got very lucky...)

  • i love how he kicks it looks hilarious

  • hes the scorpio esper. unfortunatly for me.

  • Just imagine what the unprepared players would say....

    "Hey, this thing doesn't look so tough....OH MY GOD MY HEALTH IS DROPPING SO FAST!!!"

  • That happened to me...................

  • @MettanAtem thats not my problem, mine was. "WTF, IT HAS DISPELGA.SHHHHHIT"

  • @MettanAtem thats not my problem, mine was. "WTF, IT HAS DISPELGA.SHHHHHIT"

  • @MettanAtem this makes me laugh if i imagined it XD

  • @MettanAtem Lol I was like that when I fought this Esper, got wooped and had to switch my Gambits around a lot! xD

  • Cúchulainn looks gross. Man, this battle is hard, I haven't managed to beat him yet. Sure, I may suck at Final Fantasy XII, but it's so hard when the HP is constantly being drained during this battle! Dx Thanks for uploading, BTW.

  • I had 3 lvl 88's wack at him until he died i need to figure out how once u get to lvl 99 ppl make like 9999 hp

  • use the arcane magic called bubble, raises yer hp

  • Actually, I take back what I said. You don't need either three of those magics. I just beat him today. Have esuna any and cura when hp <50% set as gambits. Also have the three ether perks(optional). Equip blackbelts. Use a hastega mote if you have one before the battle. Attack cuch hard at first and wait for the 4 foobars. Use a quickening to destroy them all and to damage cuch. Keep pressure on him and hope he uses invert to replenish your mp. Use Quickening again. Switch out party,repeat. Done

  • This guy is annoying with that sap barrier, and then he inflicts all these ailments and sap on TOP of that too. My team is lvl 43 avg., and I just faced him for the first time today, and it wasn't too bad I brought him down to under half, but I was just unprepared. Some advice, Esunaga and Hastega and prolly curaja would all be useful here.This battle is prolly the hardest battle in the game so far for me, besides that 4 bangaa battle with ba'gammnan.

  • man i wish cuchulainn would have looked even remotely like the cuchulainn from persona 4.

  • same here....

    are you Scorpio too?

    because, I am.

  • Or Persona 3, for that matter. Square has a tendency to take mythological figures and put their own spin on them, going as far as to fit them into one of their generic monster types, as they did with Cu Chulainn, here.

  • I've never seen Cuchulainn use his unique attack (where he has his own cutscene, not the deathblow) =\

    anyway, job well done, Hamour. gave fatty what was coming to him.

  • Some of the Espers in this game Fucking amaze on how ugly they look DX

    I praise you man I always use Balthier, van, and basch I never use panelo tahts wy she my weakest

  • Panelo is an excellent healer, though. I would have her on when I needed a dedicated or back up healer - whenever Ashe was tied up in attacking or something. Fran isn't half bad, either, for healing, if you decide to focus her that way on the license board, though I usually set her up with black and time magic.

  • well you've done some training. I've got Vaan, Balthier, and Ashe at 55 then fran and penelo at 22 and basch at 26. don't train my weak guys a whole lot :P

  • i don't like the espers of this game..i mean..c'mon, first time i've played i thought that i would find shive,bahamut or some of the others,and then i ve seen THIS..what the hell is this a big fat boy eating whatever/whoever he can..without thinking that by the time you get some cool esper(like zodiark) you will not need it because you can do much more damage with your main attack..for me espers are cool(3/4 of them) but useless

  • BTW u wanna no how Chuchulainn

    became ugly? WELL

    his job as an esper was to EAT impure ppl and when he became this the gods shoved that green and red thing thro his

    head and thats y he rebelled cause of how he looked :(

  • ZODIARK42, it says he was created as a beautiful esper meant to rid the world of impurity and corruption, but there was more corruption and impurity in the world than the gods could even imagine, and since he had swallowed it all, he became fat and ugly and impure himself. Wonder what he looked like before he became fugly...

  • thats what i was sayin

  • You read that off the Bestiary ;)

    And you forgot that "Wherever his feet should fall, there all life withers to dust"

  • LOL, I didn't write it word for word, I just said what I remembered.

  • how do u get there?

  • Cuchulainn is kinda cute I think :3 He's like...a really big...dog...that walks like a human...he just wants to have some company =D

  • So there I was, having some fun. I said, hey, now that I got this awesome key, let me use it! So I did! I had fun, you know? I was like, wow, this is really cool! There must be some awesome treasure awaiting me! Imagine my surprise, when I saw a fucking boss come out of the sewer water. Can't imagine it? Well, I shat bricks.

    I shat boulders, when I saw that my hp was CONSTANTLY dropping. And then, to top it off, he did immobilizega. Also, I was l around level 33 when I fought this boss.

    Rape..

  • i big time sucked at this guy!! I didnt have any eqipment, i didnt kno wot 2 expect... jeez i shudda got a guide lol, im so lacking good equipment!

  • i laughed so hard the first time i saw this esper

  • me 2 reminds me of oogie boogie from nightmare before christmas!

    and my mum! lol

  • lol

  • iam beating this esper at LV.29....in first i reached him to the end but unfortunatly i had been killed by the small enemies....

    in second i got it...

  • It gets me every time how absolutely adorable this guy is <3 !

  • you had to dispelga all enemies as well that wuld help :)

  • Why does everyone seem to do this fight at lvls 50? I've beaten him with lvl36-38 characters, just had one person on faith and haste doing nothing but cura and other two attacking the esper.

    Also, BLACK BELTS! They prevent disable and so are a MUST. Immobilise isn't a problem since you have range and magic right? And, if you are close to him anyway, then immobilise is pretty useless on you, I think =^-^=

  • indeed, I beat him an hour ago with all my characters at 38, not too hard, I had my first party make a quickening combo to take out the fuubars, then after they died I switched to my 2nd team, vaan and penolo healed while baltheir did damage, once he got to about 25% I did another quickening, got black hole finisher, and he was down.

  • this dude's has a lot of equipments u can buy towards the end of the game..so id say he's fightin at lvl 50's cuz hes towards the end and he JUST decided to get this esper after a long time..im doin a perfect game...IM LVL 99 b4 jahara and on the last part of equipments b4 jahara and this is the last part to iy :D

  • @puppetsan Everyone does this with an avg. Party range of 50 - 60 because it's easier for one, and two, You don't need to rely on Quickening Chains which rely on Luck. If you rely on luck, then there's a chance you could only get Inferno or something puny and then you'll have wasted all your MP so you cant heal, and then you'll get slaughtered by Cuchulainn or the Foobar, either way, You're screwed. It's pretty much all about equipment, by time your near the end of the game you're around lvl 50.

  • i killed him with anti immobilize accessory +vaan bravery+berserk+zodiack spear= 9999 gg

  • u need hunter the white mousse

  • i kill him with quickenings

  • Vaan: bubble(no belt) someone else with bravery gambit on vaan, and vaan berzerking himself. gengi gloves and gengi armor and best head piece. masamune/wyrmhero blade for the sword.

    trust me follow that ull see a fast vaan with 3 combos every time, and if ur lvl 90+ they're all 9999's

  • CUTESET ESPER EVER

  • Double n's and u's are typical of the Gaelic language.

  • can some 1 tell me all the steps to get to this guyi did 1 of the hunts now im fightin the white mouse but after i get the key what do i do with it n what else do i need to do

  • I was able to defeat him at level 32 - one of the most challenging battles I've had.

  • i defeated him at level 44 and i had serious probles :D

  • hey not bad

  • Why give Sneaky thumbs downs? He is correct... doesn't matter at that level obviously but a correct strategy would be a Curaja spammer, maybe black belts... and shell ain't bad either, helps a bit with status effects... was still a bit hard beating him with lvl 40 though ~~

  • your thing isnt pausing when you choose steal and all that?!?!?! mine pauses

  • its called active mode u must be using wait mode:)hope this info helps

  • smart stradegy. where is this guy? my guys are in their 50's, so the boss shouldn't be too tough for me

  • Cuchulainn's laugh shivers me timbers!

  • WooHoo hes Irish!

  • Who is?

  • Cúchulainn, It's an Irish folk heroes name

  • Ah... by the way, darling, how do you pronounce his name?

    Qu-choo-len?

  • Coo-Cullen, roughly.

  • But it's Coo Chu Lain...it's more of an Aztec thing than Irish even though he is green.

  • finally someone gets the pronounceation right =)

  • Search wikipedia for "Cúchulainn"! It is an Irish mythical hero.

  • I see. But his look is more Aztec though. That's all I meant.

  • It looks more arabian.

  • not really, it actually looks like something i chewed and spit out :P

  • lmfao ^_^

  • Finding this esper in this place was hard as hell to navagate it took me almost 3 hours to find this guy

  • Maybe I got lucky but it didn't take me more than 10 min to get it, the first time. =P

  • i suggest u take the Embroidered tippet when u are about to kill him..

  • It would be easier to defeat if U used Quickenings

  • Which accessory is it that prevents disable?

  • Black Belt

  • This Esper looks neat.

  • u really should have dispelled him right at the start!!

  • wot level would u recomend to fight my first opt espa and which 1?

  • The easiest Esper is Zalera(fight him at lv.38 or more,Barheim passage.Get the key from doing jobs for Dantro's wife in Eastersand and she will tell you her patient is better and he gives you the key behind her house).Addramelech would be next(Cast blind and slow.He is found in the Zertinan Caverns in Westersand.Fight him with a lv.38 or higher party) and Cuchulainn next(in Gramsythe waterway.Your party level should probably be in the upper 40's).These espers are the earliest ones in the game.

  • Mwahahahaha...i finally kicked his juicy juice ass with a knot of rust.XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

  • This son of a biscuit is so fucken hard when you don't have Zodiak spear,any beneficial magick that ends with ja',Nihopaloa,and bubble belt.Bastard killed my lv.42 party several times before cornering myself in the northend and wasting so many phoenix downs.I finally whittled his life down so that you could barely see his life when i ran out of phoenix downs,killed my first party and two in my second and was about to kill Basche with a kick, when i threw a knot of rust since magick takes long.

  • I enjoyed this battle, especially with that damnable HP sap field. He made me work my ass off to get him.

  • yea, beating this guy was a bitch

  • i tried it on party lvls 46 48 51, couldnt do it :P well im lvling atm then retry, and i dont got so many spells either

  • I was around the same lvl when i got him but i went in the fight jus to check him out how strong he was and wat strategies to use to beat but i ended up quickening his ass soo much i ended up beating up it was us luck some how at the end of every chain i would get a mist charge for ashe and so i could start another chain with it that happened around 5 times i didnt even wanted to beat him but i jus got lucky and then i was like f*** trying to fight it normally LOLZ

  • I remember fighting this guy. It was annoying only because the field gave a sap status.

    He wasn't as hard as Zeromus, I had magic based characters and it sucked having to fight him

  • my freinds zodiark n chaos wil tear dis fat baloomba 2 shreads hahahahaha

  • If you have to wait to have Zodiark and Chaos before fighting Cuchulainn you suck!

  • Yeah, I don't really give a shit where you think I am in the game, ok? Mind your own goddamn business and go rot in hell, kbye!

  • Ok, what part of "I don't give a shit about where you think I am in this game" didn't you get? I don't need to prove anything to you, I don't even know you, so please, I could care less about whatever assumptions or conclusions you draw about a person, you don't know and clearly have no idea what kind of player he is, plus, why should I care what some ridiculous 14 year old with porn in his profile thinks anyway? so don't even bother replying to this comment, I ain't even gonna read it.

  • How Do you Actually Get There?

    In Garamsythe I Know But Where?

  • i believe it's the same place where you meet Ashe, when she is being pursued by Imperials and she jumps off the ledge and vaan catches her.

  • my battle with him took 25 minutes like 30 phoenix downs, a whole lot of quickenings, and with Basch the only guy standing with like 500hp left...i wish i saw this strategy earlier..

  • hehe lol i did that too the first time then i was overwhelemed i was just lvl 35 by then. But 2nd time around was much easier. an alternate strategy. Sell a lot of loot and just use gil toss on him. Gil toss also kills foobars if u can't put them on doom using nihopalaoa+remedy. 2 healing characters and gill toss took like 6 minutes of my time then its all done for

  • That's what I call Sap :O

    Omg... the HP reduces so fast

  • That's why they have the bubble belts! I died so many times in this battle, even with them...

  • Nevermind, i finally got it

  • I can't get to him, i did exactly as the book told me and i am not able to get there. Can some1 please help me??

  • It's difficult to know which bit you are stuck on. Do you have 2 sluice gate keys?

  • After initially casting dispel on Cuc and killing the slimes, my basic tactic was to cast beserk on Vaan and have the other characters constantly cast Cura.(If you have curaja even better) Use black belts to avoid his disable attack. It took me about twelve defeats before I came up with this combo.

  • WTF why dont you have to fight a mob of blobs i have mobs of blobs when i fight him why and how do you not fight the mob

  • i was wondering what debuff you went through with this guy... so it's like a faster sap

  • he's so... jolly! :D

  • im currently trying to beat this guy, do you guys think my levels should be any higher? my main guys are lv44

  • He look's like Bozo when he smiles xDDDD

    But he's funny,and Bozo is an asshole .-.

  • aww HES SMILING. aww big fat jolly gooey blob. like santa meets a teenage mutant ninja tutrle meets jabba the hutt XD

  • You kicked his butt. I just found him today but I got defeated. I thought Cuchulainn was a rank 2 esper but guess I was wrong. I only got Basch and Ash 50, Vaan and Fran 41 and the ones I'm going to train now are Balthier (lvl24 and Penelo (lvl 27). I lost to that Ahriman in the Sochen Cave Palace (the last place before Archades) but I can kick his butt easily now but I'm too busy with hunts. They are so fun. I can defeat rank 5's easily now.

  • I haven't fought Cuchu (short obviously) yet. I just got passed the Judge Bergan battle...damn was he easy. Anyway, you raped this guy oO I gotta get Save the Queen now...just to see Vaan sit on it XD

  • i lost with him too like 3 times, but now i'm ready, with my level 60 party! XD

  • i lost to him for on the 1st encounter,same as zeromus,party lvl at 38...i thought they was easy esper..didn't prepare at all and it cost me.. :P

  • WHERE is he? In gharamsyte? But wheeeree?

  • Isnt he cute? All big and chubby and green and happy? X3

  • Wouldn't it be easier to warp the Foobars?

  • immune

  • oooooh ok.

  • Does Penelo strike up when she has an ax?

    Penelo, FTW.

  • Omg... Esper just try and kill my uber party of a 39 Vaan and 39 Ashe! XP roffles. The others are 10 13 13 and 13, so just Vaan and Ashe. Yes I purposly left them by the way. Now spam scathe and flare, hope I live, and then maybe go to Ozmone plains for the first time. Sounds like a plan!

  • I finished this fight miracally without Curaja, esunaja or just in general, all the "ja's"(because im still behind in story). Basically I used balthier and Fran as support to stay alive and take out the foobars and when time's right use ether give cuchu the final blow with quickening. I was lvl 47

  • omg he inverted u and u didnt die that rawks

  • I have a problem... the waterway is flooded and I can't get around anywhere... I've been tryin to find a way around but everywhere is flooded... I can't get to the white mouse or Orthos and my dudes are level 80+ and I at the first accent in the story line... any help??
