How to Beat Vanille's Eidolon in "Final Fantasy 13"

Vanille is one of the main characters in the fantasy role-playing game "Final Fatnasy XIII" for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. She is a special kind of character known as a L'Cie, which has the ability to summon special entities known as Eidolons to assist them during particularly difficult battles. Vanille's Eidolon is an earth-based entity known as Hecatoncheir. Like all Eidolons in the game, you must fight and defeat them before you can use them in battle.

Instructions

1. Click on the right trigger button to pull up the "Paradigm Shift" panel.

2. Equip "Stumbling Block."

3. Select your sentinel. Choose "Provoke" for all four attacks.

4. Select your healer. Choose "Cura" for both attacks.

5. Repeat these steps until the Gestalt bar fills up to beat the Hecatoncheir. Hecatoncheir will yield to those who heal the wounded, so as long as you use this technique, you will be able to beat Hecatoncheir without throwing a punch.
