11E: Helping Hands

Stone Mission 19

Van and Fang have a chat in which Fang says that she remembers everything that happened, and Van starts to behave oddly - you know what this means right?  Eidolon Fight!

As the fight is about to commence Fang tricks Van into admitting that she has been hiding the truth from her - and Fang is not happy.   Before they can explore that any deeper however there is the matter of Vanille's Eidolon - so let us get that fight behind us, shall we?

Some of my mates said this was a difficult battle for them - I did not find it to be that.  In fact all that you need to do to win this easily is to switch to the Stumbling Block deck, and then simply attack.  If all goes well you will not be switching out of this deck unless he gets lucky and does some serious hurt to you. 

The fight will go like this - you attack, then use a potion, then attack.  If you get badly hurt (ie in the yellow) switch it to attack then use TWO potions - then attack, rinse and repeat.

There is enough time in the charge up for your attack to use two potions and still make your next attack on time. This is, using this tactic, an easy victory.  Just wait until the meter fills and then trigger the Eidolon's Gestalt to win!  Good on ya mate!  Well done!  Van picks up another ATB segment and you now have all of the Eidolon in your stable!

Fang and Van have the chat that they need to have, and then we cut back to the party and basically fight your way along the path until you reach the next save point - which you should use!  Now the path ahead to the left is where we want to go, so fight your way across the bridge. 

On the right once you cross is a Treasure Sphere with 3 Crystal Oscillators in it.  Grab those and then fight your way down the stairs and grab another Treasure Sphere with 3 Perfect Conductors - this stuff will come in handy for upgrades...

When you reach the marker it appears to be a dead-end - but there is an examine point, which you should examine, and that earns you an exciting CS.  Go down the stairs here and get on the Atmos and after a brief ride it drops us off at our destination!  Whew!

As you can see there is a nearby save point - use that - and the next Stone in our mission path.  After you save head over to the Cie'th Stone to flag Mission 19!

Stone Mission 19: Triangle of Tragedy

Before you start to backtrack after completing the mission, grab the 5 Seapetal Scales from the Treasure Sphere.  On the way back I noticed a Sphere I did not see when we came here - and grabbed the Aquabane Brooch from it.
