In Final Fantasy XIII there is also at least one super special limit breaker attack for each character. To do these all the time, you will need the '''Instant Chain''' ability. You can acquire Instant Chain by equipping both a Hunter's Sash and Lionheart, or using a Hunt Catalog and Unsinkable Sun armor. Lightning's Special Limit Attack '''Army of One''' can do up to 999,999 damage with Genji glove for example, so these are without doubt the strongest special moves in the game. | In Final Fantasy XIII there is also at least one super special limit breaker attack for each character.

[[File: | If you have some time to burn and aren't in a hurry, there is an actual alphabet to Gran Pulse you can learn that allows you to read the signs. Some of them are quite interesting such as the signs that read "CARGO" and "SCHOOL" in Oerba village. These are pointing you towards the school in Oerba. Also on the front of Lightning's weapon you see the words "LIGHTNING". Other buildings show you the names of shops, or landmarks. | ||

'''If you kill the final monster, Long Gui start appearing all over the Steppe outside and these are ridiculously tough boss fights.''' Kill each of the monsters except for the final one, then exit the area and re-do Faultwarrens as you can gain some very nice CP and Gil here. Upgrade your Crystarium before you ever kill the last boss in Faultwarrens. Once you kill it, there is no way to stop the Long Gui from appearing all over the Steppe and replacing the easier Adamantoises. | ||

Go back to the Steppe and get on a Chocobo. Ride as far as you can into the Haeri Archaeopolis/Old Road area. Right here you should see wandering around, a large fully grown sheep. If you touch the sheep, it will show you grabbing some wool. Now run outside, and touch the Ci'eth stones in the circle. Changing the Weather will change the type of sheep that appear on the Steppe. Note: Changing the weather sporadically may also affect your enemy encounter difficulty, so be careful with this. | Go back to the Steppe and get on a Chocobo.

'''Scraggly Wool''', '''Rough Wool''', '''Thick Wool''' and '''Fluffy Wool''' are the four types of [[../Components|components]] you can gain from the sheep at any time. You have to touch the largest sheep, to always get the exact wool. Note that if the sheep are not appearing, they may be somewhere else on the Steppe so approach every area and use the Ci'eth stones to teleport there. After the sheep return to their original location, you can get even more wool. | |||
The wool is excellent for experience boost, so if you combine all the wool scraggly/fluffy/other you can upgrade into a tier 3 weapon that increases your experience with an at least 200% bonus. Then when you go back to tackle the super tough enemies and use those weapons/items in your fight, you will gain a 200%+ bonus in experience. This makes gaining a lot of experience fast, much easier. Now test it out by going to Aggra's Pasture and fight the Neochu/Neochu mission using your enhancements. You should see that your EXP is going through the roof. Use the Growth Egg to make your stats go even higher, and start selling all the Platinum Ingots/Gold Nuggets you have in order to pay for weapon upgrades. | The wool is excellent for experience boost, so if you combine all the wool scraggly/fluffy/other you can upgrade into a tier 3 weapon that increases your experience with an at least 200% bonus.

Starting out in Guerilla, summon your Eidolon right away to take out the Adamantoise's legs. Cast Haste, Bravery and Faith on yourself, then switch to Tri-Disaster and attack until your Eidolon leaves (don't go into Gestalt mode). When you get up to around 200% on the stagger bar, you can start using Cold Blood if you have it, although trying before then may allow the stagger bar to deplete before you recover. Once your party is back, switch back to Guerilla and buff the rest of your party with Haste/Bravery or Haste/Faith, then back to Tri-Disaster to finish staggering the Adamantoise.

When he's staggered, if you're using Agression you can switch right then and your remaining Ravager will continue building up the stagger percentage. If you're using a Commando instead with {{~t|Paradigm|Cerberus|com|com|com}}, you'll want to use Sazh's Cold Blood ability to quickly build the stagger bar up to 999%. Either way, once you've switched to your offensive paradigm, queue up two Blitz attacks for Sazh over and over, switching to the same paradigm for ATB refresh ever two attacks. | ||
The disadvantage of this method is that it costs three TP to summon your Eidolon, which will have to be recouped before you can fight another Adamantoise. Energy Sashes will help with their Kill: TP Charge property, but you'll still need to fight some normal enemies in between until you've recovered enough for another summon. Post-game, use the CP you acquire to obtain the ability crystals you need in the other characters' secondary roles so you can use a better tactic. | The disadvantage of this method is that it costs three TP to summon your Eidolon, which will have to be recouped before you can fight another Adamantoise.
