What the hell was Fang doing? o.O
I thought bringing her along would help at least a little bit but everytime I looked at her she'd be doing Mediguard..... -___-
It didn't matter tho, this boss wasn't nearly as difficult on Normal mode when compared to the Hard mode version. You'd probably need around 5-6 Elixirs or Turbo Ethers just to have a chance of beating him before he leaves the fight prematurely.
You have a 3 minute time frame to stagger him before he gets mad and leaves the fight. Not to mention that you have to stagger him FOUR times before you can cause any type of actual damage. The 3 minute time frame you have before he leaves will reset after each successful stagger so no you don't have stagger him 4 times in 3 minutes, but you do want to take the timer seriously.
The strategy I used to stagger him quickly is the same one I used against the Ereshkigal boss fight in my other video. (Spell, Spell, Switch, spell, spell, switch, etc.)
You have to constantly block his attacks because he's gonna keep spamming spells as long as you're spamming spells. Ruin magic is a MUST for this fight because it keeps the stagger bar up while you're busy guarding his attacks. Chaos's Revenge sword is also a MUST because it lets you stagger enemies when the stagger bar is 75% full instead of 100% which is a big help.
After the 4th Stagger, the Aeronite will completely drop to the floor. It'll be obvious that he's ready for your attacks at this point so use your most powerful attacks and just unload on him. Using Overclock helps you defeat him faster at this point as well as slowing down the 3 minute time frame you're given to beat him after the final stagger.
I show the setup that I use after the boss fight and also what I unlocked for defeating him and getting the platinum trophy as well. The Pallas Athena garb is unlocked for getting the platinum trophy and the White mage's Hat is probably for defeating the Aeronite (not 100% sure).
Note: The Ultimatus Garb I used was unlocked after defeating Ereshkigal, the Ultimate Lair Boss. It's not necessary to defeat Aeronite, the only ability it comes locked with is Ultima and it wasn't that helpful for this boss fight. The garb was purely cosmetic for me but if you need help defeating Ereshkigal, make sure you check out my other video on him.
Good Luck. =)
