How to Beat the Reaper in FF XIII

The Reaper, or Midlight Reaper, is a level 56 boss in "Final Fantasy XIII" that characters Sazh and Vanille have to fight. The Reaper does a good amount of damage and has high armor, but his weaknesses are fire- and ice-based spells or attacks. At the start of the fight, players should cast spells decreasing the amount of damage taken and increasing the amount of damage the Reaper takes.

Instructions

- 1
  Start the battle off by having Sazh cast Haste, Bravery and Faith on both herself and Vanille. These buffs will help increase their speed and attack damage.
- 2
  Have Vanille, while Sazh is casting buff spells, cast Imperil, Deprotect and Deshell on the Reaper. Casting these debuffs will make the Reaper take more magic, physical and elemental damage.
- 3
  Remove the Nerve Gas debuff the Reaper uses with War and Peace, as well as the medical spell removing poison.
- 4
  Use the abilities Slash &Burn and Dualcasting to damage the Reaper. When the Reaper does attack, he does a large amount of damage, so be ready to use one of the characters for healing items or casting a healing spell.
- 5
  Continue to use damaging attacks, or fire and ice spells, to defeat the Reaper.
