Talk:The Wicked Beast Cerberus

Without wasting everyone's time, create your own team of 5 people with the following Tank with at least 100% fire resist, but more is better 2 dps preferably at least one person who can Full break A wipe Resetter like Ayaka or Rikku At least someone equipped with Lakshmi for Assuring Protection. Ayaka great for this And at least one person who can put up Fire resist on group. I used Minfilla but honestly any Elemental Buffer will do.

Turn one (Setup). Tank draws hate, Breaker lowers stats, Confusion and Fire Protection go up, push some damage. Cerberus will barely hit group.

Turn 2 (kick it's ass). Tank defends. Use any Atk/Mag up buffs you have for group and open up. Defend with Healer/wipe resetter. You might lose one or 2 here as Cerberus removes its debuffs.

Turn 3 (Nice try doggy). Raid resetter gets people up. Reapply buffs/debuffs as needed. Should survive next turn.

Turn 4 (Put the doggo down). Just reapply Atk/Mag buffs and finish. I won without Limit breaking so I missed out on 10k hairpins....oh no

Party was for those curious: Sozhe (Tank) Double Orlandeau's (one had Break Helm on and other used Break Weapon turn 1), Ayaka with over 100% Fire Resist and a Minfilla.

Very easy fight. Now if ya'll excuse me going back to bed now...

It has basically 5 types of attack: Physical, Fire element magic, reduce fire resist, apply paralysis, apply instant death. If you account for these, you can become unkillable. Ling is good for this because she has 40% evade, 50% fire resistance and 100% paralysis resistance naturally. If you gear her right you can get 100% evade, 150+% fire resist, and insta-death resistance, and she can use Dance of Death to apply poison.

Specifically, I equipped: R Hand: Toxic Dagger L Hand: Flame Shield Head:  Raven Beret Body:  Red Jacket Acc 1: Safety Bit Acc 2: Ring of the Lucii Mat 1: Equip H Shield Mat 2: Quick Assault Mat 3: Quick Assault Mat 4: Spirit of Freedom Esper: Ifrit

I used my Wilhelm with a Toxic Dagger to apply Poison through his numerous Counters, and everyone else in my party became irrelevant. Specifically, he was equipped with a Toxic Dagger (to inflict Poison), Genji Shield (to prevent instant death), Adamant Vest (+50% Fire Resist), Jeweled Ring (Null Paralysis), other gear to buff his defense, and he used Ifrit (+50% Fire Resist). Wilhelm used Impregnable to draw attacks, and after that just guarded, which made him beefy enough (and recovered enough life each turn) that he never died, while also eventually inflicting Poison through one of his counters, which wore down Cerberus's health pretty quickly. Even had time for a Limit Break in there, for the Achievement.
