Final Fantasy XIII - Getting Easy Trapezohedrons

Version 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwNM-4-hzwE

For some reason annotations are screwed up, but please read the rest of the description for some clarification and error fixes!!

Sorry for the random yawns and such, I was tired and my brain hurt!

So, after killing the Adamantoises for 2 days and only finding 1 Trapezohedron, I decided to experiment and see what happened when you dismantled an ultimate weapon. Turns out, you get Trapezohedrons from the dismantle. Knowing that, I decided to crunch out the math numbers and figure out the exact amount of gil and components necessary to make a Lvl 100 ultimate weapon. Here are my findings:

You will need the following amounts:
1,347,060 gil (this includes everything, even the weapon)
24 Ultracompact Reactors
9 Particle Accelerators
4 Perfect Conductors
203 Sturdy Bones

Please follow the guide exactly as I add things in a specific order to maximize experience.

The return value (keeping the Bones and the Trapezohedrons) is 437,880 gil. This is a nice boost to either start over with another dismantle or upgrading a new ultimate!

To clarify: Yes, there are other ultimate weapons that will net you 3 Traps instead of 2. I did not show this because the return gil on those is only around 200k. So while you only get 1 extra Trap from the dismantle, you get more gil back in return so you can repeat the process and/or get some lost money back.

I did this AFTER beating the game. This part is the last section in CH.12. You can return to this spot after beating Ch13, or run it before if you feel you can kill the tortoise.

As always, if you enjoy this video and want to see more in the future, please rate, comment, and sub!!

@Darkscoper Cool thanks man.

[Darkscoper]

@broly2013 Nope, you can only stack different kinds of catalogs, but not the same.

[Darkscoper]

@NunezBobby1 Yes, there will be an Adamantortoise near a save station at Eastern Tors.

[Darkscoper]

@seanrodger No such thing, Adamantoise is the best solution.

@TheIluveverything Buying traps takes much, much longer than using this method, and you spend half as much. I found two traps by accident when farming for ingots, and i spent days directly farming the third. I got my fourth through this method in less than an hour. This method is worth it.
