C04-P02 - The Vile Peaks (Continued)

The Vile Peaks (Continued)

Oh God! you are separated into two teams again. 

Lightning and Hope

  • ENEMY (E-01): PSICOM Tracker (x1), Corps Gunner (x4) (FIRST ENCOUNTER)
    (Always kill Corps gunners first, they deal so much damage but have little health)
The Vile Peaks Path 5
The Vile Peaks Path 5
  • ENEMY (E-02): Corps Regular (x1) (FIRST ENCOUNTER), Corps Gunner (x1)
  • ENEMY (E-03): Corps Regular (x2)
  • ENEMY (E-04): Corps Regular (x2), Corps Gunner (x1)
  • ITEM (T-01): Fiber-optic Cable (x3)
  • ITEM (T-02): Librascope (x1) 
    (walk around the circle)
     
  • ENEMY (E-05): Uhlan (x1) (FIRST ENCOUNTER)
  • ENEMY (E-06): PSICOM Tracker (x2)

Okay! So this is a little fun part where Hope takes control over the robot (it kind of looks like Dreadnought). Your task here is very simple, keep walking, killing Pulsework Soldiers and destroying walls to open the path. After you are done with the mini-games, pick up the two treasures in front of you. The prizes can be different depending on how many enemies you killed but don't worry because it doesn't matter.

The Vile Peaks Path 6
The Vile Peaks Path 6
  • ACCESSORY (T-03): Sturdy Bone (x10) or Thickened Hide (x20) or Spark Ring (x1)
  • ITEM (T-04): 100 gil or 300 gil or 999 gil
     
  • ITEM (T-05): Electrolytic Capacitor (x2)
  • ENEMY (E-07): PSICOM Ranger (x1), Corps Regular (x2) (LAST ENCOUNTER)

Take the narrow path to the top area for an item.

  • ENEMY (E-08): Uhlan (x1), PSICOM Tracker (x1), Targeting Beacon (x1) (IF SUMMONED)
    IMPORTANT: You should wait until PSICOM Tracker summons Targeting Beacon then cast 2 Libra to complete your Datalog. Targeting Beacon is a missable datalog.
     
  • ACCESSORY (T-06): Spark Ring (x1)
  • ENEMY (E-09): Corps Gunner (x3), PSICOM Ranger (x1)
  • ITEM (T-07): Phoenix Down (x1)
    (Side area to your right)
     
  • ENEMY (E-10): PSICOM Tracker (x2) (LAST ENCOUNTER), Uhlan (x1), Targeting Beacon (x2) (IF SUMMONED)
    (If you haven't got full intel from Targeting Beacon yet, this is your last chance)

Before you save your game, take a moment to prepare for the next battle because it is going to be hard, trust me. Odin's attack has Thunder element so equip Spark Ring on both Lightning and Hope will help reduce his damage.

EIDOLON: Odin

Paradigms (Lightning/Hope):

  • COM/RAV (default)
  • COM/SYN
  • MED/MED
  • RAV/RAV

Equipment:

  • Lightning: Gladius, Spark Ring
  • Hope: Airwing, Spark Ring
     
  • EIDOLON (B-01): Odin (x1)
    Strategy:
    • Start by throwing 1 Libra then immediately switch to MED/MED until you have green health. He'll mostly attack Hope more so makes sure to keep him alive.
    • When he stops attacking, switch to COM/SYN until you have Protect on both Lightning and Hope.
    • The gestalt gauge fill up fast when you attack him during his defense stand. So when you see he uses "Ullr's Shield", quickly shift to COM/RAV and RAV/RAV one turn each to chain attack.
    • Simply put, attack him when "Ullr's Shield" is on his head or you have green health and MED/MED when you are low in health.

Equip Power Wristband on Lightning and Black Belt on Hope back.

Next battle is about a tutorial on how to summon Eidolon, it is useful for a first-time player.

  • ENEMY (E-11): Uhlan (x2) (LAST ENCOUNTER), PSICOM Ranger (x3) (LAST ENCOUNTER)
