Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Long Gui Fragment

The first thing I suggest you do is make two Cerberus (COM x3) Paradigm Sets. The reason for this is the trick that allows you a full ATB if you switch from one Paradigm to another that is exactly the same. Simply switch when you use up all your attacks and you will have a new full set.

• The best COM for this is Dragoon as he has lightning-based attacks.
• The SEN doesn't matter much, but the best you probably have this early is the Bunkerbeast.
• Be sure your SYN has Enthunder, Protect, and Shell. If you have a Purple Chocobo, that would be good. A good replacement is the Thexteron.

The strategy for Long Gui is actually simple compared to the others. We have to take out Long Gui's legs so we can get him down and stagger him. We want most of our Paradigms to be -X so the AI focuses on single type attacks versus AOE's.

Start by casting Imperil, Deshell, and Poison on the Left Leg while you let your SYN buff you. Switch to Tortoise (SEN x3) if see the notification for Ultima Attack. If you need to heal due to Ultima Attack or the stomps, switch to Hero's Charge-X (so you can get buffs while your heal and keep the Chain Gauge up). When you are healed switch back to Relentless Assault to stagger it. Now switch to Cerberus and finish the leg off.

Repeat this for the other leg and watch out for Quake.

Once both legs are staggered, Long Gui will fall. No matter your health, switch to your debuff paradigm and cast Deprotect, Deshell, Imperil, and Poison while getting EnThunder from the SYN. Switch to Relentless Assault and stagger it. Let the Chain Gauge get to 950% and then switch to Cerberus. Go all out, using the Paradigm Shift trice between the two Cerberus' and kill him.

The first time you beat Long Gui you will get the Long Gui Fragment and 30,000 CP.
