How To Farm Adamantoise, Alternative Style

This is the alternative farming style (where Fangs summon or Vanilles death trick might strike you as the most used ones).

The party is just an example as you could use Fang instead of Vanille and someone with com and rav instead of Lightning. The important part in this guide is that Sazh is your leader. This tactic can be used very early, and it is somewhat possible even before endgame (when you first arrive at Eden plaza).

If you cannot manage to beat the Adamantoise using this tactic you either lack strength/magic or aren't quick enough with the commands (yes the Adamantoise usually arise on/after the 6 blitz).Also the debuffs are VERY important as the chain builds more quickly if they are applied (they are a must. In those rare cases Vanille fail debuffing quickly you should have a small window to wait a few seconds before switching paradigm. However if Vanille needs more than a few seconds after sash have applied the primary buffs on your party you are boned. This is the reason I urge you to upgrade Vanilles Malboro Wand as soon as you are able (just upgrade it to Nirvana, there's no need for levels on the weapon once it's a Nirvana). This helps Vanille get her last ATB bar which can help a lot. Deshell or imperil doesn't help with the deathtrick btw (and this metod is way faster, in my opinion and experience, and constant).

If you still cannot manage to kill the Adamantoise this way then don't dismiss your summon Brynhildir, instead use Sazh as rav to build a high chain before the summon dispatchs himself (this will somewhat prolong the time down and grant you a longer period to build a chain). Important then is to never use the summoning finishing move as it will clear the chain. ALSO make sure to NOT stagger him before you buffed the whole party after summon leaves. I dispatch the summon to cut time for the farming but it might not be possible when you just start out (before you might have economy to get sash strength up enough). I really recommend dispatching the summon when you are able as it cuts many seconds from each try and you will need many many tries to get all the money (and catalysts) you need.

Anyway, if you need more help: read the Postgame guide by Arthellinus over at gamefaqs. Thanks to him and thanks to square enix for making this game.
