Template:Images Template:FFXIII-2 multi Enemies Template:See Also Proto fal'Cie Adam is a boss in Final Fantasy XIII-2. Getting a 5-star rank on the battle with Proto fal'Cie Adam in Episode 4 earns the player the Cerulean Medal achievement/trophy.
Strategy
First Battle
When the fight starts the player should focus on killing the left and right manipulators as soon as possible. Once they are destroyed the player should focus on targeting Adam. The boss will fall soon after it is staggered. The most efficient way of defeating this boss is to use the Relentless Assault Paradigm throughout the battle, and use Potions when healing is required.
Second Battle
After a brief cutscene upon Adam's first defeat the player will have to fight the Proto fal'Cie again. This time Adam's HP is much higher than before and, although the tactics remain the same up until the end of its first stagger, Adam will regenerate its manipulators and assault the party with more powerful attacks. The player should turtle up with a defensive Paradigm with Sentinels before Adam executes these attacks.
Once Adam's HP is reduced to zero a Cinematic Action occurs directly after, leading to the Proto fal'Cie's second defeat.
Third Battle
Adam will regenerate its HP and a Live Trigger occurs. If the player chooses "Scream at Hope", Adam will disappear for good. Choosing any other answer will initiate a third battle against the Proto fal'Cie.
Although its stats are identical to the first phase, it and both manipulators are given separate entries in the game's bestiary; therefore answering the live trigger correctly first time will prevent the player from completing the Monster Professor sidequest, and they would have to close the gate and replay the bosses again to obtain its entry.
Paradox Scope Battle
With the Paradox Scope active the battle can be won mostly with the same strategy as for the original battles; the main difference is its HP is increased.
