Lieutenant Amodar ( boss ) Lieutenant Amodar is a downloadable content boss from " Final Fantasy XIII - 2 " . He joins Lightning during her battle with Serah and Noel in the bonus downloadable battle " Operation XIII - 2 " . Battle . The fight begins with Lightning alone . At first she doesn ' t seem very threatening as she only uses basic gunblade attacks . However , once her HP is reduced to roughly 85 % , a brief cutscene introduces Amodar who teams up with her . Both Lightning and Amodar are immune to Dispel and other debuffs , and have multiple buffs for the majority of the fight . Lightning has access to Esuna when she shifts to the Medic role , meaning that the debuffs that are applied , can easily be removed . Lightning and Amodar will Paradigm Shift periodically . Both have access to the Commando role , but while Ravager , Synergist and Medic are exclusive to Lightning , Sentinel and Saboteur are exclusive to Amodar . Both will often utilize area of effect attacks , such as Ruinga and Blitz , as their primary forms of damage while together in the Double Trouble paradigm . Amodar throws grenades that do damage and inflict multiple debuffs at a time . Fog , Pain , and Slow are the most problematic , though Deshell , Deprotect , and Poison are threatening as well , once both he and Lightning switch to an offensive paradigm , such as Double Trouble . Both foes can be launched once stagger ed , rendering them harmless while airborne . When either Lightning or Amodar falls , the remaining opponent gets stronger . If Amodar is the last one left , he will gain Protect , Shell , Regen , and Veil . If Lightning is the last one left , she will gain Haste , Bravery , Faith , and Vigilance . They will also now gain access to their Full ATB skill s , by using Limit Break . Amodar ' s Iron Bear Claw will deal massive damage to one party member , while Lightning ' s Army of One will deal a long string of small physical hits . The latter sends the target flying , leaving them helpless for a few extra seconds . The player will be unable to act during these skills , which essentially pause the battle . As both Amodar and Lightning ' s drop rates are very low , it is likely the player will have to go through the battle a number of times before acquiring either as monster allies . Strategy . It is recommended to enter the fight with a high - level party . The fight is still a challenge for a party with a maxed - out Crystarium , full - fragment Odin weapons , a generic paradigm deck ( no Tortoise required ) , and fully developed high - level Paradigm Pack monsters . Saboteurs are not of much use aside from if the player intends to utilize a gradual Poison or Wound strategy , of which neither are recommended . Removing Lightning ' s and Amodar ' s buffs will be a lengthy process . As Lightning has more roles available , one might think she should be the primary target as she can heal . If the player struggles dealing enough damage to make her single - cast healing spells worthless , Lightning should be the first target . However , Amodar can be a troublesome foe , easily weakening even the strongest of parties . Recommended paradigms are : The player should start in Evened Odds , casting Vigilance , Protect , Shell , and Veil on the whole party ( preferably using their - ga variations to make it faster ) . Meanwhile Serah should attempt to cast Imperil on Amodar . If the player ' s HP drops into the red or just above , they should switch to Salvation to quickly restore the party ' s HP . Once the player has switched to Tri - Disaster , they should target Lightning using Fire , Wind , and Ice - elemental abilities . If the player needs to heal , it is recommended to switch to Diversity , and then return to Tri - Disaster . Once Lightning is staggered , the party should keep in Tri - Disaster until her stagger gauge is elevated to at least 500 % , then switch to Cerberus - X . Launching her during this time proves an immense aid . Remaining in Cerberus will deal a lot of damage . Lightning is unlikely to fall in one stagger . Vigilance is arguably the most key buff and should remain up all the time , however , the rest of the buffs may also be needed , depending on the player ' s HP and Lightning ' s remaining HP . Once Lightning falls , the player should switch their attention to Amodar . Amodar is a greater problem now as he can inflict many serious debuffs . If the player is struggling under the pressure of the debuffs , it may be prudent to equip Ribbons on the human characters , or have a stock of Unicorn Horns and select monster allies who have either high resistances to debuffs or very high HP . It is recommended to rebuff the party before the attention switches completely to Amodar , with Vigilance still being the most important buff . Once the chain gauge has been stabilized , the party should shift to Tri - Disaster and use Wind , Ice and Lightning attacks on Amodar . If Amodar still has Imperil , this section will do more damage and will be easier . Once staggered , the party should remain in the Tri - Disaster paradigm until Amodar has 700 % stagger before switching to Cerberus . It is recommended to use Serah ' s Full ATB Skill , Ultima Arrow , and then switch to Cerberus during the attack animation to both raise the gauge and deal damage . Once Amodar starts getting close the end of his stagger , it is recommended to go all out with offensive Feral Link s and use Noel ' s Meteor Javelin just before Amodar exits Stagger to deal massive damage and extend the duration for other characters to use powered moves . If Amodar is still standing , simply repeat the process until he falls . Paradigm Pack . The chance of acquiring Lieutenant Amodar ' s crystal is 10 % and can be increased by using high - sync Feral Links , e . g . Red Chocobo ' s Kweh ( up to 400 % ) , Twilight Odin ' s Zantetsuken ( up to 999 % ) or PuPu ' s Items Please ! ( up to 999 % ) . It is only possible to get the crystal if Lieutenant Amodar is defeated after Lightning has been eliminated . Amodar ' s stats are among the highest in the game , particularly in HP . This , coupled with his high strength , can make him an attacking alternative to any Sentinel . Amodar innately halves all Fire damage .
