Aeronite (Lightning Returns)

Aeronite is one of two superbosses in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, the other one being Ereshkigal. It inhabits the Dead Dunes and moves around the desert as a darj mist sphere shooting lightning from it. Upon defeat, it drops 50,000 gil, 9.00 EP and it has a chance to drop a variety of rare components, including both Holy Forgefire and Demonic Forgefire. In its ordinary form, Aeronite has 38,500,000 HP, while its Chaos form has 58,000,000 HP making it an enemy with the highest HP value in the series. It requires the player to stagger the boss four times consecutively to do any significant damage to it. Upon starting the encounter, the player is given approximately three minutes to stagger Aeronite, after which there are another three minutes to reach the second stagger level and so on up to the fourth stagger level. If the player will not be able to maintain stacking stagger effects, Aeronite will use Fed Up which will cause it to flee the battle and fully heal itself when it is next encountered.
