I have legit spent the last six hours of my life trying to beat ONE FUCKING BOSS in FFXIII.
Six hours, four tall alcoholic drinks, lots of leveling, and eight thousand strategies later, I have defeated the pope bride.
THE POPE BRIDE OF COCOON
IS A MASSIVE ASSHOLE
HE IS AN ENTIRE BAKER'S DOZEN OF DICKS
I HATE THIS GODDAMN GAME
For the record, the pope bride is the guy in charge of cocoon, and at the end of chapter 9 he morphs from the pope bride into a massive ass robot with one giant freaky robot face and four even more freaky upside down fences hanging from his face/body/something. His name is like Barthandreusiamamassiveasshole or something, and the fact that I have spent six hours fighting this motherfucker and I am still not even sure of his name should tell you something about how was to understand FFXIII is and how much I think of it
The strategy online that says you can protect yourself from Destrudo is a massive asshole liar, though, because Sentinel never takes on him and even if it did Lightning still dies every fucking time. Yes, i was totally leveled in the crystarium as far as i could get. The key is Rav/Rav/Rav and get his chain up almost to 200%, because if you do that his asshole One Hit Wonder decreases in power and you actually live. FANCY THAT. Thank you, other online guide. Thank you, Taurus stubbornness.
I did it with Light/Sazh/Hope, because I could have Haste that way along with all Sazh/Hope's other buffs, plus Rav/Rav/Rav and Com/Rav/Rav for ramping up that chain and thus surviving, plus Syn/Med/Med for OH FUCK ME times afterwards. I LIKE SAZH OKAY. I KNOW NO ONE ELSE DOES
I fucking hate this game. I hate that I just spent six hours on that fucking thing. OH MY GOD WHY WOULD YOU EVER DO THAT TO ANYONE EVER
it's okay world, I beat the boss. and now I will sleep.
