Can you summon eidolons in ffxiii 2

During finisher attacks, the opposite is instead true. Each party member has their own Eidolon. When including Eidolons, and counting the Shiva Sisters separately, there are thirteen total party members. They have their own separate ATB gauges, but both will be dismissed if their shared SP falls to zero. In normal mode, Stiria focuses on the Medic and Ravager roles, healing Snow and dealing Ice-elemental damage on the enemies.

Nix focuses on a Commando role, as her abilities are physical based, although she has Blizzara at her disposal. While Stiria cannot be targeted by enemies, she can still be damaged by wide area attacks. Snow's Gestalt Gauge increases by driving up enemy chain gauges and by defending against enemy attacks.

In Gestalt mode, the sisters transform into a motorcycle. Their concept is Rapid Blaster. While in Gestalt Mode only Stiria's stats are used in the damage calculations.

They were planned to appear in a DLC episode where Snow would ride the motorcycle on the Archylte Steppe , but this idea was scrapped. Odin is Lightning's Eidolon, obtained in the Vile Peaks.

He is lightning-elemental and has many powerful and diverse physical and magical attacks. He acts as a Sentinel, drawing all enemy attacks. Lightning's Gestalt Gauge increases by driving up enemy chain gauges and by healing herself and removing status ailments. In Gestalt mode, Odin transforms into the horse Sleipnir, named after Odin's horse in Norse mythology.

His concept is Multi-Attacker. Odin's sword is known as Zantetsuken and splits in two for Lightning to wield while riding Sleipnir. These are Lightning Strike and Ullr's Shield. A corrupted variation of Odin, named Twilight Odin , appears in the Vile Peaks in the years 10 and AF as a physical manifestation of chaos, using the memories of Lightning's summoning in the area years ago as a source of energy.

He is fought as a boss in both areas and can be recruited as a Paradigm Pack monster for the party. Twilight Odin is also a rare drop of the level 99 Valfodr , this being the only other way of obtaining his monster crystal, aside from defeating him in the Vile Peaks AF-.

Odin also appears to help Lightning at the end when she calls out for help. Brynhildr is Sazh's Eidolon, obtained in Nautilus Park. By default, Brynhildr is Fire-elemental , but Sazh can bestow En-spells on her to change her elemental characteristics. Brynhildr is strong physically, but also has a wide array of spells based on which enhancements Sazh has cast on her. Sazh's Gestalt Gauge increases by driving up enemy chain gauges and by augmenting himself and Brynhildr with status enhancements.

In Gestalt mode, Brynhildr transforms into a race car with side mounted machine guns. Her concept is Gadget Master. Bahamut is Fang's Eidolon, obtained in the Fifth Ark. Bahamut uses powerful non-elemental attacks, and his high attacking stats and speed make him the Eidolon with the highest damage-dealing potential. As Bahamut's SP is rather low, it may be a good idea for Fang to assume the role of Sentinel to increase the summoning time as well as to boost Bahamut's Gestalt Gauge whenever Fang is attacked while blocking.

Fang's Gestalt Gauge increases by driving up enemy chain gauges, defending against attacks and inflicting status ailments upon enemies. In Gestalt mode, Bahamut allows Fang to ride him. His concept is Aerial Raver. Alexander is Hope's Eidolon, obtained in Vallis Media. Like Bahamut, Alexander uses strong non-elemental attacks, but they are all physical.

Alexander draws in all enemy attacks and has the highest starting SP, but he is slow moving around the battlefield and takes longer to act than the other Eidolons, in some cases being late in healing Hope. Hope's Gestalt Gauge increases by driving up enemy chain gauges, bestowing status enhancements, removing status ailments, and restoring HP.

In Gestalt mode, Alexander transforms into an immobile fortress hugging one edge of the battlefield. Whenever Alexander is summoned, executing gestalt or unleashing his final gestalt attack, a somewhat faint, angelic organ pipe can be heard. His concept is Tactical Commander.

Hecatoncheir is Vanille's Eidolon, obtained in Mah'habara Subterra. Hecatoncheir is Earth-elemental and is the only Eidolon that possesses the Quake ability. He is also the only Eidolon that doesn't have Curaga, meaning Vanille must heal for herself. Vanille's Gestalt Gauge increases by driving up enemy chain gauges, inflicting and removing status ailments and restoring HP.

In Gestalt Mode, Hecatoncheir transforms into a bipedal mech with four machine gun turrets. His concept is Shooting Blaster. Before the parade Sazh comments, "They're putting Eidolons on a parade".

These Eidolons are vastly different from the ones the party can summon. They appear organic rather than mechanical, and appear to be only special effect visuals generated for the purpose of the parade that bear allusion to the series's past summons. Although Leviathan doesn't make an appearance, concept artwork for it exists, indicating Leviathan was considered as one of the Eidolons to appear in Final Fantasy XIII. When fighting Eidolons, there are three possible battle themes that will accompany the fight.

Battle to the Death. All summoned creatures in FF13 are cool which made me really excited creating a tune for them! I originally thought to mix orchestra, guitar and drums in one piece and then cut out any unnecessary parts, however it turned out to be quite interesting and well-balanced, so I decided to use it as is.

I especially like the 'pounded out string' sound which looks like it's ignoring the basic tune when it comes back to the introduction. Saito finally added some acoustic guitar, then it was completed. A new arrangement of "Eidolons" is available in the Dissidia Final Fantasy arcade version. Bahamut is one of the enemies faced in the FATEs, while Odin appears once more as a summon Lightning can use in battle.

Brynhildr and Hecatoncheir appear as summons. They do tend to fall off in the late game, but can still be useful tools if you know what you are doing.

An Eidolon has the power to revive and fully restore the fallen party members once it disappears. In order to perform a Summon, you'll need to expend four Technical Points. One more aspect that separates it from the rest is that Alexander transforms into a castle despite the Eidolon Gestalt theme clearly being modes of transportation. Perhaps this is to reflect the historical claims of Alexander's approach to conquering and establishing domains, where instead of razing them he ostensibly rebuilt up them as havens in which he could luxuriate.

This also likely represents a form of refuge for Hope, a feeble boy reluctantly thrust into a life of heroism. Alexander can be considered the weakest Eidolon in the game because of its painful lack of speed.

A mistimed Curaga on the part of Alexander can end the Summon entirely, wasting most of your Technique Points as a result. However, it does have some perks. Alexander fulfills roles of both Commando and Sentinel, pulling most of the incoming away from Hope with Challenge and Provoke. This does make Alexander poor at chaining so Hope will have to stay in the Ravager Paradigm to compliment the Eidolon.

The least recognizable of all the Summons, Hecatoncheir is based on the Centimanes of the Greek myths, the creatures with a hundred hands who aided Zeus in overthrowing his father, Chronus. Ironically, in-game Hecatoncheir is the only Eidolon that comes without a Curaga spell in their arsenal. You get spam healed so you can't die there unless the doom meter counts down to 0.

That battle will get you the eidolon for future use, but first you have to prove yourself worthy of obtaining them. Theres more than one way of obtaining them depending on the Eidolon. You can a build up the chain bonus gauge top right corner, filling this helps raise the gestalt meter.. I think? Last edited by Discede ; 13 Oct, am. You're talking about in chapter seven, that fight, basically just auto-gestalt press A until you get down to 3 gestalt points left, then press Y to do Diamond Dust Lv.

Then just kill Orion as Ravager, Froststrike and Aquastrike should make short work of him as he is weak to both ice and water. Novi View Profile View Posts. Originally posted by Scarlet Crusade :. Originally posted by ReikonSaisei :. Strategy: Making a pact with Bahamut is a very challenging one as it attacks rampantly. Focus on the health of your party. I suggest to have someone in your party cast Shell and Protect to lessen the damage that you get from Bahamut.

Start off by debuffing Bahamut. Have one of your party be a Sentinel preferably Fang and the two becomes a Ravager. Keep on attacking Bahamut until the Gestalt Gault fills up. Character: Hope Chapter:
