Where is don tonberry in ffxiii 2

The party should have Haste from the preemptive strike , so staggering it shouldn't take long. With decent stats the player should be able to switch back to Cerberus and finish the battle before the stagger wears off. Noel can unleash his Meteor Javelin just when Don Tonberry is about to recover from stagger for massive damage.

Don Tonberry becomes a good enemy to farm once the player's Crystarium is developed. Don Tonberry yields Scarletites as a common drop which sell for 18, gil in shops with Haggler and Hermes Sandals which sell for 11, gil, again with Haggler. With a maxed character equipping a Collector Catalog , or preferably, a Durable Collector Catalog , the player will get a Scarletite essentially every time.

This makes Don Tonberry a good monster to farm for money. Don Tonberry is a quick-hitting Commando. Since its Strength and Magic are nearly equal, it can function as a Magic-based Commando with good spellcasting speed, but cannot use its useful Drain Attack or its Chaser abilities with Ruin or Ruinga. Monster abilities can only be learned by tamed monsters; exclusive abilities are limited to a small number of rare accessories or weapons.

If a chocobo has this passive ability, it will have the listed race ability associated with it while engaging in chocobo races.

Note Executes powerful magic attacks. Start in The first Delta attack and with a pre-emptive strike, use one attack phase to raise the chain gauge a bit.

Then switch to Riot shield and allow Yakshini to cast bravery and faith on your party. If Noel or anyone else needs healing, switch to solidarity, otherwise go back to Delta attack and stagger Don Tonberry. Near the end of his stagger, Don Tonberry will use Deep Seated Grudge, damaging all party members and clearing his chain gauge, so switch to consolidation when you see this coming. Heal up and prepare for phase two. Start raising the chain gauge again, Don Tonberry should be focused on Noel, so heal with solidarity when necessary, thereby not dropping the chain gauge.

Then stagger with Delta attack and finish him off with ATB refresh. If he isn't dead, start from the beginning and make sure to employ a wound potion as Noels max health is probably getting low. Once again get a preemptive strike and attack one round with Delta Attack to raise the chain gauge.

Now go into Strategic Warfare and after two rounds brave and faith should be on everyone. Now it's stagger time. Tri-Disaster will stagger in one round, then immediately into aggression for an assault. Now use ATB refresh to finish him off.

If you take time to heal, he'll likely use Deep Seated Grudge and you'll be forced to start again. I've had Serah die a few times and still managed to take him out before the first stagger, so I recommend just pushing it out.

I believe this to be due to the Chain Gauge not being raised continually. Also, there is strong evidence that using a Feral Link Ability to finish off the Don Tonberry can increase your chances of getting a monster crystal, so you may work this in to your strategy if you wish.
