The Juggernaut is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII. It is the mark of Cie'th Stone Missions 29 and 61.
Mission[]
29 - Faltering Faith[]
Mark: | Juggernaut | |
Locale: | Taejin's Tower - The Palisades | |
Class: | B |
The cloven spire of Taejin's Tower forms the bridge between the Archylte Steppe and the outlying lands. Yet a rampaging juggernaut now bars all passage, and I have been charged with its disposal.
Why do the fal'Cie value that place so? Why do they protect it, and yet stand idly by when our village is threatened? I sense the place must guard some secret of theirs...
61 - I, Juggernaut[]
Mark: | Juggernaut | |
Locale: | Oerba - Village Proper | |
Class: | A |
Part the veil of emotion and intellect. Discern the true nature of that to which the soul gives rise.
Entreat with the juggernaut, for whom all obstacles must part, and become one with life's circle here again.
Stats[]
Battle[]
The Juggernaut uses Fire-based attacks and uses Steam Clean to heal its status ailments.
Strategy[]
Barfire mitigates damage from the Juggernaut's Fire-based attacks. A paradigm deck consisting of one Saboteur and two Ravagers can be used to debuff it while also increasing its chain gauge. Once staggered, the Juggernaut can be launched.
Its tendency to heal its status ailments with Steam Clean can be exploited by a knowledgeable party, as Steam Clean takes a significant period of time to take effect and the Juggernaut does not act in that time. By keeping the Juggernaut inflicted with any of its vulnerable status ailments, the player can buy themselves frequent reprieves from its attacks.
