Fomoire

The Fomoire is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII-2. It is a challenging foe to defeat, especially if a player wishes to obtain a full 5 stars. Fomoire will begin the fight by using Murderous Might, which allows him to use Dominating Fist and allows the player to attack his fist.

Strategy
The Fomoire is a powerful foe, but not dangerous if the player cuts off access to his Dominating Fist ability. The player should start by attacking his fist with Relentless assault, bringing up the chain gauge and upping the damage dealt to the fist. Should the fist become staggered, the player should switch to Cerberus in order to deal more damage in a short amount of time. When the fist is defeated, Fomoire is crippled offensively. The player should then begin with Relentless Assault to stabilize the chain gauge, then switch to Tri-disaster to quickly stagger it. Once Fomoire is staggered, the player should switch to Cerberus and begin juggling the Fomoire in the air. The Fomoire will not likely be killed in the first stagger period, so the player may wish to use Meteor Javelin or Ultima Arrow before the enemy has lost its stagger meter fully in order to deal more damage. The Fomoire will likely use Murderous Might a second time once its stagger gauge is empty; should this be the case, defeat it again as above, and then attack Fomoire himself again. It will not likely last long past its second or third stagger.
