For a full walkthrough of this game that guides you to the completion of all quests within Day 10, maps of the areas, and all sorts of info you may need, visit:
www.trueachieve...
This is a video showing how to kill Aeronite with minimum effort and bare essential preparation. The only thing that will take a few minutes in this preparation is the farming of the ability Heavy Slash Lv 3, which won't take long anyway (Anubys enemies drop this ability).
The Schemata I used are:
1. Garb: Quiet Guardian (buy from Outfitters in The Slaughterhouse area in Yusnaan).
Weapon: DO NOT use the Gagnrad as I did in the video. As an user pointed out in the comments, this will go against your interests because of the malus on Stagger Power of this weapon. Sorry about this!
Shield: Ul'dahn Crest (doesn't really matter; it's from the Canvas of Prayer quest "Roadworks I").
Accessories: Preta Hood (dropped by boss of The Dead Dunes); Runic Ring (treasure in Luxerion).
Abilities: Aerora, Deshell, Deprotect.
2. Garb: Soldier of Peace (complete quest "The Hunter's Challenge" in Jagd Village (Wildlands)).
Weapon: Demon Knife (buy for 220,000 Gil from Forge in Yusnaan).
Shield: Gridanian Sigil (doesn't really matter; this one is from Canvas of Prayers quest Roadworks II).
Accessories: Fighter's Emblem; Dawn Gauntlets.
Abilities: Thundara, Mediguard, Heav Slash Lv 3 (becomes Artemis's Arrows in battle).
Heavy Slash Lv 3 is dropped by Anubys enemies starting from Day 10. This is the only "leveled" ability I use in this video. For max effect, synthesize with each other Heavy Slash Lv 3 abilities until you get a STR multiplier of 6.20x.
3. Garb: Black Mage (from treasures of The Ark).
Weapon: Chaos's Revenge (dropped by boss of The Wildlands).
Shield: Double Cross (doesn't matter, it's actually a default shield lol).
Accessories: Silk Scarf (treasure in The Dead Dunes); White Strap (treasure in the Temple Ruins of The Dead Dunes).
Abilities: Fira, Heavy Guard or Mediguard.
Short strategy: use the "magical immunity schemata" (# 1) whenever he attacks you. Try to keep some distance away from him to avoid the "claw" attack and the "Roar" attack (both deal physical damage, so magic immunity won't help). The attack Hellflare and the first part of the attack "Megaton Break" deal massive physical damage: either Heavy-Guard against them, or use Overclock to Stagger-interrupt him before he can launch them (do so only if he's already close to Staggering), or just let him kill you and use a Phoenix Down to revive.
After the fourth Stagger you will deal damage spamming Artemis's Arrows while he has Deprotect and while you have Bravery. On Easy you won't even need to use EP-recovering items, since 5-6 Overclocks will be more than enough to finish him off.

NoKtoLive - I just have to say thank you for providing such an excellent guide for this game. The maps and advice for each step has proven invaluable for my first playthrough on normal difficulty. I don't have the guidebook and I can't imagine how I'd have played this game (in a rewarding way) without your tips. Props!

@NoKtoLive 10 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated :)

I had trouble with timing his magic attack, and still attacking him. So what I did was cast Deshell on him, then switch to the Black Mage and overclocked him. After it ran out, I'd go back to Quiet Guardian and attack it with that and put Deshell on him again if needed until I ran out of ATB, then back to Black Mage and overclock again. Doing that worked for me, finally staggered him the final time and unleashed Hell on him. I had to use an Ether before the final stagger, and then I used a Turbo Ether when he was staggered for the final time. So doing it that way will of course require some EP recovery if you can't manage the timing for guarding and attacking like me.

@NightwishNick 10 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video, I'm on day 12 and he was all I had left to do! You helped me immensely!

@HeartlessKeyblade92 10 лет назад

Thanks a lot man! Took me a couple of tries and EP to spend, but I defeated him at the very last second as his stagger ran out! Woo! Talk about putting me on a hot spot

@SAMURAIch 3 года назад

Thanks! This worked like a charm. Got him at my 3 time, 2 previous was just my mistakes in buttons and i forgot about EP and went into battle with 2 EP's hahaha

@JamieTrials 10 лет назад

I just beat him thanks to this amazing strategy! My hands are shaking so much right now.

@Spurfect81 9 лет назад

Just remember the first garb this guy is using is the most important, also use black mage garb for quick stagger before the dragon flies away.

@mr.e8117 10 лет назад

So late but thanks for this strategy. Got it on my second try on Normal. Had the same setup except the Morgenstern. He still ran through all of my items though lol. I got hit with a lot of the 1hit KO moves. Thanks for posting!

@PlutoEdits 10 лет назад

I don't know what it is, but I just cannot beat him. I'm using your strategy and I just can't get it. Maybe it's my timing, who knows, but I'm having no luck.

@jaehousen7176 10 лет назад

Thank you so much for this. I actually managed to win with no problem, shit made me so happy I cried

@TechniqueSan 10 лет назад

I just finished NG on easy, thus i'm much stronger than you are when you fought him here. On NG+ Easy, does the stats of monsters increase at all? If not, then i'm set for an easy fight against him.

@TechniqueSan 10 лет назад

Nevermind, just crushed his ass following this tactic, and got me the platinum. Thanks bro.

@kkikkiki 10 лет назад

Just beat him first go thanks to this guide although I had to use 2 Phoenix downs because I wasn't quick enough switching garbs but thanks anyway great guide easy to follow

@GetampedSascha 10 лет назад

I think i can beat him in Normal Mode. And besides why do you need guard on quiet guardian? He blocks all attacks anyway but not magnet.

@legendofmikeandbill 10 лет назад

Damn I've been playing on Normal and this guy is a pain!

@MightyRathalos90 10 лет назад

hmm, why did you sue Gagnrad on your silent guardian? i mean i used almost the same setup only different weapons but thats depending on your way to go but the guardian doesnt need the stats from the weapon anyway and the +25% atb speed wont counter the - 90% stagger - am I mising something here?

@MightyRathalos90 10 лет назад

nvm, i see u figured the same by now. increadible you actually managed it even with this downdraft ^^"

@Eva_The_Awsomest_Child 10 лет назад

I'm only on day 7 and I just managed to pwn this foo' using your technique and most of the same gear and abilities. Thank heaps!! The guide book would have had me spending $700k+ gil and waiting until day 13 :/

@LonelyFlameHaze 10 лет назад

i sold my Gagnrad by mistake didnt notice till after i saved is there a way to get it back ive tried doing the quest again but it doesnt give it to me need help PLZ!!!!!

@zme214 10 лет назад

I am definitely going to try this strategy! I've been breezing through on Easy with brute force alone, compensating for lack of de-buffering through abuse of overclocks and heavy reliance on the overpowered schema setup of the SOLDIER 1st Class, Siegfried, and Sphere Hunter garbs (and the Flesh Render from the Last Reaver). Then I hit Aeronite and burned through all 8 of my overclocks and my entire recovery items inventory without even bringing his health down to a quarter. I do have a question though - would it be possible to substitute the Black Mage for the Cyber Jumpsuit Physical Invisibility build? I've seem some JP videos that seem to use that setup instead along with the Soldier of Peace and Quiet Guardian.

@NoKtoLive 10 лет назад

I tried that myself, but I found it better to have a more offensive setup. You don't need physical defense very much if you play right, especially on Easy, and having better Staggering potential helps.

@zme214 10 лет назад

NoKtoLive Your strategy worked for me! Although I did burn through a few more Ethers and Phoenix Downs because I was still learning the attack pattern and running out of Heavy Guard by the time he used Roar, but it worked! Also, I was on Day 8 so I ended up using Destroyer (from the Last Cyclops) on the Soldier of Peace build. Thanks for the video and advice!

@NoKtoLive 10 лет назад

zme214 Good, congrats ^^

@MyEternalRequiem 10 лет назад

I tried this. Honest to god, man. I followed your outlet to the letter, crossed the t's and dotted the i's; and I just couldn't beat it. I must've tried it at least thirty times, in one sitting. (Which was not a good idea, got me fairly irritated) Every single time, I got it near death maybe three-four times out of those thirty (because I suck at FF games, don't judge), I'd say 1/3 of it's health left on the final stagger; and I have no EP left. I started with 8, used all my potions and phoenix downs. Even had to use Arise twice because it spams Hellfire twice before it goes down. It just flies away. I've been blazing through this game, up until this bastard, and he demoralized the hell out of me. Regardless, I've been trying other methods to beat this guy, looking on youtube and forums; and this video is the only one that got me even close. In the beginning, I couldn't even get the first stagger before it got fed up with me. Good method man, got me pretty damn even with the bastard; I'll probably just have to get it on a new game+, because I'm terrible.

@Sephith0r 10 лет назад

I'm on my first run on Normal and i can't stagger him in the first 3 Minutes with this Strategy. I have done every Side Quest and almost all of the Canvas of Prayers Quest's. I tried this fight now for 4 Hours. Should i wait for my next Run and beat him with upgraded Equipment!?

@NoKtoLive 10 лет назад

That's definitely going to make things easier, but it's not necessary. If you're having problems with the first Stagger, use a few more Overclocks. From the second Stagger onwards it goes much smoother, you'll just have to use a couple of Ethers for more Overclocking.

@alanakafro8923 10 лет назад

Is there a reason to use a demon knife over the morgenstern (1300 strength to demon knife's 1050, and no atb loss). Or is it just preference/ available Gil?

@NoKtoLive 10 лет назад

It's because of the cost. As explained in the text guide, Morgenstern would be a better choice. Not *that* much better as to determine win or loss, but better nonetheless. Without grinding at that point of the game the average player doesn't have enough money for Morgenstern, so I went with the Demon Knife which should be affordable to the majority of players at that point. However, if you can afford it, by all means go with Morgenstern.

@alanakafro8923 10 лет назад

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply man. About to try this stratagey now!

@ninsab 10 лет назад

where can you find the dawn gauntlets????

@franklinclinton2875 9 лет назад

Hi. Why don't you use Paladin instead of Quiet Guardian?

@Solufien 9 лет назад

Franklin Clinton The passive defense combines with Petra Hood and Runic Ring to give you magic immunity. Swap out the hood and ring for Ghost Hood and Guard Glove for physical immunity. The Eaters can eat shit basically.

@zetaro05 9 лет назад

hey man, just wanna say thanks for the vid, cool guide :)

@HyperShadow991 10 лет назад

lol im watching this at a net cafe and im so addicted to this game i wanna go home just to try this stratagey but i need a goddamn break D:

@hotdj06 10 лет назад

Great vid! But the demon knife is not at the forge in yusnan, and im on new game+ :/

@NoKtoLive 10 лет назад

It's a Day 10+ item! Check the "Shop" page in the link in description maybe.

@Gemini_Godhand 10 лет назад

With this setup I MURDALIZED it!

@wandinugraha4310 3 года назад

My timing suck but i beat him with your strategy, thank you!!

@jamiejohnson8469 10 лет назад

Where I'd the Demon Knife ?

@shim255 10 лет назад

where did you get Heavy Slash on Easy?

@NoKtoLive 10 лет назад

Seriously? Can't you read the intro of the video that tells you that every info can be found in the description?

@xSZKxCloud 10 лет назад

How do your overclocks only cost 1EP.

@NoKtoLive 10 лет назад

Easy difficulty, it's written in the title...

@xSZKxCloud 10 лет назад

NoKtoLive blah I forgot this was on easy sorry. I am trying to beat this boss on normal, same setup with an elixir and ether 3 phoenix downs and I am failing hard :/

@xSZKxCloud 10 лет назад

NoKtoLive if you got some time think you could help me out? www.twitch.tv/AvoidsTV

@NoKtoLive 10 лет назад

Jason Quinn Get items that give Bravery! They help a lot to speed up the killing.

@xSZKxCloud 10 лет назад

NoKtoLive thats what I got my elixir for.

@ZDehuman1ze 10 лет назад

First time I got crushed and thougt this'd be nigh impossible.. 3rd try with actual preparation 5stars and only 2 ethers and a hero potion used .. 190-200 atb on each garb shitton of health & mediguard on the debuffing garb 25k? just spamming thunder till the 4th stagger and then deprot rushing him with heavy slash .. almost too easy

@theasianviking86 10 лет назад

I used the "magical immunity schemata" and it worked.. well I still got damage like 300 as max.. but I beat him in first try in your way ;).. but I mained used Fira lvl 4 and Firaga lvl 2.. I say Fira lvl 4 did heck alot of stagger damage.. (dont know if it was the Chaos sword that granted it?) But now I have my first platinum in FF13 serie.. maybe try to complete one day all FF13 with platinum..

@xDAZZE 10 лет назад

Lol beat it after 4 Ethers, 1 Elixir, 10 minutes and a score of 4000 (no star)... Had to use Arise 7 times. I keep running out of ATB.

@jsscmoran 9 лет назад

This is my forth time around its being a year and a half and I just can't :(

@chrcoluk 10 лет назад

I wonder if anyone has beat this guy without a magic immunity setup?

@Bloomful 4 года назад

Damn i thought bhunivelze was the strongest but aeronite is

@TheRaf9999 10 лет назад

spamming with magic, you need at least 2 phoenix down, 2 hero potions, 2 remedies, and some ethers, the quiet guardian outfit 100% necessary, i'll try your strategy

@WynterRayn19 10 лет назад

KILLED THIS BITCH. #YAASSSLAYLIGHTNING

@ZDehuman1ze 10 лет назад

... magic on the heavy slash garb why didn't i think of that >.

@aleee2010 10 лет назад

Amazing U killed him on the first day the game is out. I had the Japanese since 2 months or more and I couldn't beat him good job. I had most my abilities maxed out & My sword is maxed out in strength & magic & great ATB & FAST but still couldn't beat him. I was trying too kill him on hard he has 37 million HP without Chaos cloud and with it 57 million. Anyways very impressive. The key is this magical immunity schemata I had it but didn't use it because i don't understand any Japanese. This dragon is very hard And there is another hard one but I can't seem too find him.

@Wlmwill 9 лет назад

se é loooooco esse cara é foda afff

@ShizukaEarisu 10 лет назад

Gonna try to beat him tomorrow Your way, only this quest and all the Last Ones I need to make ;__;

@HyperSonicXtreme 9 лет назад

Artemis Arrow is the key.

@serrocsc 6 лет назад

ur third schema is useless when u stagger it

@acbgimnop 10 лет назад

I'm on day 6 and the Anubys are dropping Heavy Slash... o.O

@TheRaf9999 10 лет назад

But you need the level 3, in easy this game is very easy, in normal and hard is very difficult

@acbgimnop 10 лет назад

I can get lv 3 by the infusion process.

@NoKtoLive 10 лет назад

acbgimnop It will take you forever to get a powered Lv 3 Heavy Slash if you rely on level-ups of the lower levels.

@acbgimnop 10 лет назад

NoKtoLive It didn't really. I have a 6x LV3 Heavy Slash that took no time at all

@SweetMangoGaming 10 лет назад

He keeps running away on my game. What the heck?? Edit: Nevermind. Finally killed him.

@MasterDayTrader 10 лет назад

He keeps running away in my game also. What did you do to finally kill him?

@SweetMangoGaming 10 лет назад

35823582 It's been awhile since I played, but if I remember correctly, the battle is timed. According to a guide I looked up: "There is an invisible time-limit to defeating Aeronite. If you don't achieve Knockout on him quickly enough, he'll fly away and escape from the battle." It just took me a few tries to get the hang of the battle, switching schemata and keeping the pressure on him to get it in time.

@MasterDayTrader 10 лет назад

Lol oh ok, thanks. I got his life bar down quick. I guess I have to stagger him fast in order to continue the duration of the fight?

@SweetMangoGaming 10 лет назад

Most likely. Just stagger him quickly and kill him as quickly as you can. Use one of the three schemata in this video to avoid taking much damage.. I think it's the Guardian one.. so you can spend most of your time attacking instead of healing. Once you get the hang of that, it shouldn't be too hard. I got stomped the first time until I figured that little tidbit out.

@badreligionbomb 6 лет назад

fuckin dope

@Ae15BXYS 10 лет назад

How the hell are you getting 150000-250000 damage points on the final stagger if it's your first playthrough? I've done over 60 side quests, and another 70 prayer of canvas quests, and I'm barely getting 100000 damage points with Artimus Arrows (I've used exactly the same garb and weapons you've used here). I'm sick of these LR "guides" on RU-vid: instead of helping anyone, they're always more of a "look what I can do" cock spectacle. Absolutely fucking useless for the casual player. I was chopping away at it with Artimus Arrows, and the damn thing fucking flew away ("Fed up"). You should make a note that if you're not getting 150000-250000 DP with AA, you should have a shitload of EP available, or else the damn thing is gonna fly away. 30 minutes of my life wasted.

@Spurfect81 9 лет назад

Did you cast bravery on yourself?
