Template:FFXIII Enemies Adamantortoise is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII. It is also a mark in Mission 63. Adamantortoise is essentially an easier version of Adamantoise with less HP and lower stagger point, but with the same item drops. They also have a notably higher resilience to debuffs than the Adamantoise, but can be defeated using the same strategy. Adamantortoises can be found chained to the ground in the the passageways to Eastern Tors valley. The other one is accompanied by three Gorgonopsids. Adamantortoises have shorter tusks than Adamantoises and their shells are smoother.
Strategy
Adamantortoises are susceptible to Instant Death by use of Vanille's Full ATB Skill. Equipping her with the Malboro Wand makes the feat easier. The party can collapse the Adamantortoise by defeating its legs, or by summoning an Eidolon, and while collapsed, Adamantortoise is temporarily unable to take action. A general strategy after having destroyed the legs, is to first stagger it with Tri-Disaster (RAV/RAV/RAV), raise the stagger percentage a bit and then destroy it with Fang's or Snow's Full ATB Skill. Full ATB Skills ignore Protect and Deprotect and elemental affinities, so debuffing the legs is not needed, but Bravery (Attack Power +40%) or Bravera (Attack Power +80%) work, making it easier to one-shot the legs.
Once the Adamantortoise is fallen over the party should aim to stagger it, drive the chain gauge up to 999.99% and inflict as much damage as possible. Useful debuffs include Imperil allowing the party to cast the En-group spells to deal double damage, and Poison, which in Final Fantasy XIII is especially effective against opponents with high HP. However, like said, Adamantortoise is more resilient to debuffs than its big cousin.
