When do adamantoise become long gui

Ultima is Long Gui's strongest attack and deals non-elemental magic damage to all targets. When Long Gui is in low health, it can cast Roar and Ultima back-to-back giving the party no time to heal in-between.

This can be useful, as Ultima will nullify the Daze effect from Roar. When the Long Gui collapses, it may also deal Earth damage to anyone who is too close. Long Gui collapses if an Eidolon is summoned against it, or its legs are defeated.

When Long Gui has collapsed, it will not attack, and becomes vulnerable to multiple status ailments. The only ailment Long Gui is susceptible to when not in its collapsed state is Slow. The collapsed state lasts 90 seconds, and if the player summons an Eidolon during the time Long Gui is collapsed, the time spent with the Eidolon is not deducted from the 90 second collapse time. Long Gui will cast Doom upon the leader should the battle last longer than 20 minutes.

The recommended party is Fang , Sazh and Vanille, though the battle can be won with any party. Either Sazh or Vanille should be the party leader because of their specific skills. Sazh is also a good healer as he mostly casts Curasa , and Fang and Vanille are the only ones to learn the upgraded versions of Synergist spells. If the player can see they will not survive Ultima when Long Gui starts casting it, they can quickly summon an Eidolon, making them temporarily immune to damage. If timed correctly, the player will survive Ultima with no damage sustained and the Eidolon will disable the Long Gui's legs causing it to collapse.

Because summoning an Eidolon will always topple the Long Gui, even a low level party can defeat it if they have enough Elixirs to replenish their TP. The party should disable the legs and stagger Long Gui as quickly as possible to If controlling Sazh, the player should constantly use Blitz when the Long Gui is staggered ; Sazh will deal , damage 99, x6 per Blitz.

Sazh and Vanille both deal more damage per second than Fang, but Fang has high strength and will help kill the Long Gui faster than any character other than Sazh or Vanille. It is possible to double the damage from Death, Blitz and Fang's attacks, by inflicting Long Gui with Imperil and buffing the party with Enfire , but Long Gui is only vulnerable to statuses when in its collapsed state.

If using Vanille's Death to deal most of the damage, a fast strategy is as follows. The player should have at least three TP, and when the battle takes off, quickly go to the "Summon" option, but not actually summon until allies are receiving the starting damage from Long Gui's Ultima. Someone posted a thread about it search Sazh and Toise should pop up, im too lazy to find it. But that guys method his characters were only at stage 9 of the crystarium and they go down in about 2 mins.

If I can down Adamantoise in with max crystarium, have exactly 6 traps some of them used for ultimate weapons , and have 2. That's without summon. I feel as though summons make it longer now actually.

You know, that's what I am thinking right now, the circle on Gran Pulse. Initially, counting the ones close to that circle of toises, there are a total of: 2 Adamantoises, 2 Adamantortoises 2 near the circle entrance, 2 roaming around the area 5 Adamchelid 3 inside the circle, 2 guarding a TB right outside.

And after the switch, it's 3 Long Gui, 1 Adamantoise 5 Shaolong Gui I think that's what they are, please correct me if I am wrong If I can use Vanille's death method not actually instant kill, but the paradigm trick to hit for per cast to take down a Long Gui in one stagger magic has to be over , from what I heard , I think walking the circle will be FAR MORE efficient than just staying in Eden.

Because you can farm Dark Matter, Trap and Ingot all together in one walkthrough. And beating on these easy Shaolong Gui you can recharge your TP fast, you can even put in a few summons here and there against Long Gui. But I don't know which is more efficient, at Eden or just walking around Gran Pulse.

But if you're also farming dark matters I think this is better. More topics from this board What are the best weapons for each character, and why?

Forgot your username or password? User Info: tzehuan tzehuan 11 years ago 1 Hi guys, I am just wondering, for farming trap and ingot, is it better to farm Adamantoise or Long Gui?

I heard Long Gui has a much higher drop rate for both items although it takes longer to kill. Of course, you probably didn't click on this guide for an overused quote from a former United States politician, so let's get into the nitty-gritty.

If you're interested in five-starring this battle, be sure to finish the Cie'th Stone missions beforehand. Vercingetorix , a swift and hard-hitting beast, will require just as much preparatory grinding as Long Gui; but the perk to fighting him first is that he'll drop the valuable Gold Watch accessory.

The Gold Watch will increase battle time by 10 percent, which may not sound like much, but when you're going up against Long Gui you're almost certainly going to need that padding for the full five stars.

Regardless, the strategy is surprisingly simple. Like the Adamantoise and Adamantortoise enemies, Long Gui's legs are targetable. On the one hand, this is a bother — it means more things to smack around while tanking severe damage from attacks like Ultima, Earth Shaker, and Quake. But as luck would have it, these legs are the key to your success. Endure Long Gui's Ultima. He always opens with it and it's always going to hurt.

Heal, heal, heal and keep spamming buffs on your party because Long Gui's irritating Roar ability can strip you of preexisting buffs in a flash. As soon as you can, summon an Eidolon to disable his legs. While they're disabled, hit Long Gui with every debuff in your arsenal. Deprotect and Deshell are obvious winners, but don't underestimate the value of Poison. Long Gui's HP being what it is, a damage-over-time spell like Poison is very appealing. Now, drive his chain as high as you can.
