Final Fantasy XIII HD Gil/CP Farming (Adamantoise/Adamantortoise)

80k CP per kill (using a Growth Egg, 40k without one)
Possible Platinum Ingot (150k gil) or Trapazehedron drop each kill (Better chances using Item Catalog and it's upgraded one for rare items)

Also, you can do it with a summon technique if you're bored, have spare TP, or are not powerful enough to defeat these with this method:

This strategy works on the adamantoise and adamantortoise in Gran Pulse. Suggest you do this after you beat the game since that will unlock crystarium level 10 (more stats)

My party is Fang, Lighting, and Vanille but you can swap by preference.
I would recommend each party member have at least 14k health, Genji gloves for Fang, and most crystal trees nearly maxed out (kinda have to be to have that much HP anyway). I have 3rd tier weapons for Fang and Lightning (upgraded Dragoon Lance and Lionheart) but I've done it with the 2nd tier ones. For Vanille I'm using the Malboro Staff for debuff effectiveness (2nd tier). You want a lot of attack power with 2 of your members, and a lot of magic with the other (for healing). All must have ravager available. The healer must have saboteur while the other 2 should have commando and either synergist or saboteur

Start off with Synergist Synergist Medic to get and do the cast order shown in the video (fang has bravera/protect, other two have protect(ra)/faith(ra), everyone has haste)
Switch to Ravager Ravager Medic and blast one of the legs until it breaks. If you aren't maxed out yet, get the percentage up an extra 100-200%
Switch to Commando Medic Medic and highwind that leg to kill it. Target the other leg and start attacking before switching (so the CPU targets it when you switch, instead of the head)
Switch back to Ravager Ravager Medic and break the leg
Switch to Commando Medic Medic and highwind the leg
Switch to Synergist Saboteur Saboteur and bravera/faithra yourself and lightning (important to have 2 saboteur or 1 saboteur+1 ravager to keep the chain going). Once you see the adamantoise with deprotect, deshell, and imperil...
Switch to Ravager Ravager Ravager and break it. Continue until the chain is up to 800 or 900%
Switch to Commando Commando Ravager and burn it down

Collect CP and hopefully an ingot/trapazehedron, move to the next one (there's 4 - 2 in the enclosed area and 2 roaming the plains). Save, quit, reload and repeat

[371ekim]

[djawnee]

whats the weppon from fang bevore u upgrade it?

[IStrenghtAndHonorI]

Really good vid, thnx for uploading, you had a much better strat than mine. I can kill them easy but this was really fast! Worked for me =)

[aleaf09]

I see a big turtle

I decide to face it with my 2000 hp, 1000 hp hits

fail

[MasterDevilOfDeath]

Wow, thanks so much! Been trying to f**king find a way to defeat these things instead of the 'Spam Death Spell' method! Works like a charm. I can defeat them in less than 1 minute, which makes grinding for Traps and money so much more bearable!

tried it but man i still got my ass kicked, i did last longer and prob could have won if i had more then 2 phoenix downs. any idea why it's happening, even the baby ones started using ultima at some point and quake as the 1st atk, it all happened after i beat the 1st one

i've just been farming in orphens cradle, a chanch at 7 perfumes (12500) and i forget the other thing they drop (7k), alot quicker to respawn them then quitting the game and reloading the whole thing just for 1 kill

[cody100100100]

@Skievy try switching to SEN/SEN/SEN/ when he does that it should reduce the damage by alot

[Skievy]

i see you takeing out 3 of them, i can only take 1.....the other 2 cast ultima right off and it kills my steam. when fang isn't 1 shoted i can get 1 leg down (2 hits of highwind) get 2nd to half and does the foot stomp that always kills me, no clue why its doing untima when every vid i watch for this i never see ultima used??? i'm lv5 on all and fang/lighting are max lv2 wep

any help would be nice

[drscorpi0n]

@ohgreknight I forgot to mention,i figured out an easy way awhile back but i didnt mention it (yes, i beat the second orhpan with the same amount of leveled people mentioned earlier) except i didnt use fang, i used vanille,using a sentinel was a waste of time, just have vanille cast poison, then the other three status inflictions she can caste, power up with hope, and just keep staggering

[ohgreknight]

@drscorpi0n I found your problem, You have hope in your party.

[drscorpi0n]

this is a little off topic but ive gotten to the final barthandelus...i can beat his first form but when he combines with edin and orphan i cant do anything about it...i get about halfway and he uses the opposite extremes thing and then eventually kills me...ive done something wrong in training and stuff cuz it seems like my ppl are under leveled...im using lightning with 5,000 hp and 1300 strength... hope with 4,500 hp and 1300 magic..and fan with i think about 6,000 hp and 1100 strength.
