Lost Odyssey DLC - Defeating Professor K in 3 Turns

This is a video of my level 8x party taking on Professor K in the 400ms Point DLC, Seeker of the Deep. At 108800 HP, this guy may seem like a pushover, but one bad choice, coupled with Professor K's resistance, defence and reflect will have your party sprawled on the floor in no time.

This punishing dungeon has no save points and you'll spend at least 30 minutes turn tailing your way back to get another shot at the little fella.



He may be harder than The Immortal One if you do not know what you're doing and get your party wiped out by Annihilation. Most people that beat him used the new DLC items like Accelerator (Reduce casting time 3) or Rose Quartz (Turn Cast).



These items are obtained from mini bosses you encounter in Random fights along the last 9 levels (16B to 24B). However, some people claim to never get these items (rare drop) even after 5 hours.



In this video, I will provide rough details on how to defeat Professor K in 3 Turns.


Minimum Requirements:

Level 80+ Immortals (At least 8000 HP)
The following skills:

Persistence
HP Boosting skills
Crisis Defence
Complete Defence
Level 8 White Magic
Level 8 Spirit Magic
Lucky 0 Magic Damage
Nullify all elements
Double Cast
Reduce Casting time 2
Mental Stability 2
Weapon Guard 2
Slot +5/Slot +10
Turn-tail


Before the fight, get your Immortals' HP down to 1 to 1000. You can do this by fighting Hellish Kelolons (Black Kelolons in 24B). Note that this must be done by 24B as there are no more random encounters after 24B. Attack these Kelolons normally and they will perform counters, usually taking your characters to near death. Use Complete Defence to keep low health characters alive and Turn Tail when all Immortals have yellow Hp.

Health Sed to full health and put him in the front row (so he will tank the few Forceus that Professor K casts) and the Immortals in the back row.




Equip Sed with the Curse Crest, Holy Guard and Quad-Element Seal.

Once the battle starts, just keep casting Reversa and hope for the best. If you're unlucky, Professor K will cast Reflect on his 2nd turn, meaning that your party will suffer 4 reflected Reversas hitting for about 40000 each. This is where Persistence pays off, if you have 2 HP or 860 HP, a 40000 reflected Reversa will only whack your HP down to 1. I took a big risk by taking 3 of my Immortals with 1 HP into the battle.



In total, I have faced Professor K 6 times. In the 4 times I failed against him it was always because my party or the majority of the party got wiped out. Sure you can use divide and complete defense but that means that your party can last only so many turns. Because Professor K always has Regenerus and Annihilation at his disposal, you will never be able to cover the 20400 HP he heals while ressurecting your party members who fall to Annihilation. This is definitely not a fight you can win if you play defensively and stretch it out.

I actually just got through this in 2 turns thanks to your video. The only differences were my lvl 99 party and I used Magic Seal with Sed thinking it would stop his regenerus. Instead it stopped his Reflect as soon as he used it on the next turn and here I was, thinking I had to waste time getting 1 Turn Cast. Thanks a lot man and I hope magic seal helps you guys too.

In the end I waited till I got the accelerator item. Nailed him! Not even Sed died. I kept Ming on full health and used divide with he to split my startegy. I also anticipated the refect on round 2 and cast flare with Sarah, Kaim and Seth, so it had no effect. He will always use regenerus if he is getting too low on health, think its a game programming thing. He didn't get even one offensive shot off at me when i did it!! Thanks for the video!! :)

Do you have the reduce cast 3 on this video?

[smexiiclairebabes123]

what place is that where u find professor k

[GrotesqueScene]

What a fucking boss.

[tiomigue07]

@Gargols1 I agree with you.

@CharlemagneReturns well its definitely better than Thirteen. I actually liked most of the aspects of Twelve except for its general story line. The dungeons were great, plenty of side missions that turned out to be more interesting than the main story line, and tons of summons!

FFXIII has a good story and characters! It's just the battle system that sucks. I want turn based back.

Before watching this I had unfortunately went through all twenty five levels before reaching this guy and was annihilated lol it was about 4am and needless to say I said F*** It and went to bed. Next day I looked online for a guide through the battle (something I rarely do) and luckily found this video..thanks!
