Template:Sideicon Ochu is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII and mark of Cie'th Stone Mission 39. It appears in three places: a regular enemy in Aggra's Pasture in Archylte Steppe guarding a treasure orb after triggering a cutscene with the Microchus nearby, and twice in the Faultwarrens as a mission mark and a regular enemy. In all three instances, Microchus accompany it.

Strategy
Ochu may cause some problems for those unadvanced in the Crystarium. One strategy is to start the battle with COM/RAV/SYN or COM/MED/SYN and let the Synergist cast at least Haste and Enfire on everyone. The party can then switch to COM/RAV/RAV or COM/MED/RAV.
The Commando should attack the Ochu and when Ochu uses Screech, the party should switch to MED/SEN/MED, and let the Sentinel take the hits while the Medics heal. The party can then switch to COM/RAV/RAV or COM/MED/RAV. When Ochu is defeated, the Microchus should be easy to handle.
