Markhughes88 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Well i got this game friday, and i must say although the story is a little too cheesy (but then again all of the trilogy has been) im thoroughly enjoying the open world and battle system! I got to caius earlier though, and i have to say he slapped me three ways from sunday to the point i had to run with my tail between my legs. I've gone back to do yusnaan for now (got all but about 4 side quests and the main quest finished for it now). Whens best for me to re-attempt caius? Should i go back soon, or complete act 4/5 first?

ecto69 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) XboxAchievements.com - View Single Post - How do you beat a certain boss *spoilers* Here is how I did it. Full thread Check post #2 spoiler for details. http://www.xboxachievements.com/forum/showthread.php?t=568216&highlight=Caius You have to rotate your magic, can not stagger with fire as you then can no longer use fire. Are you on normal or hard difficulty? Edited May 26, 2014 by ecto69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'd leave Caius as one of the last bosses you face. But don't wait too long or else his stats will boost (after day 6) and it'll be even harder to defeat him. Just use Libra and learn how to stagger him and bring Ethers.

FYI he is the only BOSS that does not have stats increases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markhughes88 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Ok sounds good I think I'll try that. I will be playing again tonight so will try. I've gone back and completed acts 1, 2 and I am in the tombs in the dead dunes trying to find the final crucifix piece. Also I've played through on easy first (I don't usually but thought **** it). Will I be able to play hard on my 2nd play through, or will I have to complete it I. Normal first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out my FAQ here for some hints. Also I have a speed run on desert dunes ruins , with maps, posted here. http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/lightning-returns-final-fantasy-xiii/227616-speed-run-main-quest-4-a.html Edited May 30, 2014 by ecto69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesToN Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Ha, I remember when I first fought Caius, I couldn't beat him to save my life, but I kept trying and trying and eventually beat him. I come back to him much later, and beat him to a pulp with Whirlwind Kick/Artemis's Arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markhughes88 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Well after completing all the other story quests and 49 side quests I returned to battle him. I used deprotect for his commando and just spammed attack and blitz (using heavy slash when staggered) and then deshell, curse and my -aga spells to beat him down to size in ravager mode. Was rather easy compared to previously, I think he downed me once, but I had two spare Phoenix downs so all was well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenreir Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Another tactic for Caius is just to spam heavy slash. spam heavy slash (dragons blood armour gives u heavy slash 3) when you are out of points hit overclock and spam again. Real cheap tactic but worked for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
