	Log in to remove this sponsored message Yes, I know there are threads about this boss fight already, only reason I'm making another one is because any advice specific to me not having upgraded my weapons the whole game would be awesome. My Crystarium is maxed at everyone's primary roles so far (non primary are unleveled). I have mostly breezed through the game so far, even with level 1 weapons as long as I kept my Crystarium upgraded. Now that I'm at Brathandelus 2, I'm stumped. I can get him well below half health before he casts Doom. I keep thinking if I work faster the next time, I can get him before he Dooms me. My party is Lightning, Fang, and Hope. I mix it up with Delta Attack, Mystic Tower, Agression, Relenteless Assault and every now and then I have hope cast buffs. I'm mostly going by the strategy guide's instructions. So, without having upgraded weapons am I stuck, or what's a good strategy for that? Also if anyone is wondering why I haven't upgraded anything, well I've saved and hoarded every bit of loot since Chapter 1. I still have all of it too. My intentions are to save all my weapons and components until post game, where I will focus on getting the Treaure Hunter achievment. Been afraid to dabble too much into upgrading since I would hate to screw something up and cause me to not be able to get that achievment.

My party was Lightning, Fang, and Hope and from the very start I just wailed away with Relentless Assault, only stopping to heal briefly. Funny that this worked. Didn't use any buffs or follow any real strategy, I had an easier time just tearing into the thing non-stop. This message was merged with other messages by LOD-squa (moderator)

	amazing that is ive allready tried that relentluss attack and he goes crazy on Lightning this is the boss im on after two weeks of tearing my hair out what levels r u on ive asked about this on the forum and so far no replies but im guessing its been covered allready this boss. my levels are lightning 3000hp and over for lightning fang 4000hp and slightly more hope only 2000hp but he is getting on for the 3000hp. if u check my post ive covered weapons im useing and armour allready bangles etc. i havent got to the stage where he casts doom yet but the deadly bone breaker i know does massave damage also his laughter move i just want to get this done now as it has really tested my paitence as a gamer for years of playing the final series i found i got to this boss ok like yourself dharka proved tricky in the tower but i managed to get past him. i hope u can reply to my post as i seen u just done him and am very very curious now. and wen he does his poison moves my whole party cops it then.

	Yes, I would have suggested exactly what you did. On my second playthrough, I did no upgraded weapons and it was pretty simple. You just go as aggressively as you dare, but go to Combat Clinic during his major moves. P.S. your post-game strategy is a good one. The second time I did the platinum, I shaved off 25 hours because I didn't have to do nearly as much grinding. However, the trophy hunter achievement is not miss-able unless you sell some of the rings without upgrading them.
