How do you defeat barthalmus in final fantasy 13?

Answer 1

It depends on wether it is the first time you fight him or not. He is slow, and most people cant beat him due to not leveling up properly. If your having trouble trying equipping different armor too see if it defends against his poison attacks or go back and level up all the stages in your crystarium, it may take some time but he will go down easy. oh one more thing try leveling up your weapons.

Answer 2

Set up these paradigms:

Vanille: Saboteur/ Fang: Saboteur

Vanille: Saboteur/ Fang: Sentinel

Vanille: Medic/ Fang: Sentinel

Vanille: Ravager/ Fang: Commando

The de-buffing from dual saboteurs quickly builds up the gestalt meter up. After 2 rounds of casting, switch to Saboteur/Sentinel as Hecatoncheir's attacks are very unforgiving. As soon as Fang goes into yellow health, paradigm shift to Medic/Sentinel class. The Eidolon goes through stages of attacking and charging.

When Hecatoncheir is charging, switch to Ravager/Commando and cause some damage. The Ravager/Commando and Saboteur/Saboteur boost the gestalt meter pretty efficiently so it is up to you what you use. Just remember to switch back to a Sentinel role when the Eidolon starts to attack again.
