How to Defeat Vanille's Eidolon on Final Fantasy XIII

"Final Fantasy XIII" is a role-playing video game for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The game features a plethora of spells and abilities with the most powerful ones called "Gestalt Modes." Characters must first battle their respective Eidolons to acquire and use their own modes. Hecatoncheir is Vanille's Eidolon. Players can only use Vanille and Fang during the fight and must use the proper combination of Paradigm Shifts to defeat this Eidolon.

  Press "L1" to go to the Paradigm Shift menu. Select "Stumbling Block."
