==Strategy==
A party of magical attackers is required, as all damage Adamantoise takes from physical attacks is divided by 3.
Despite its hard-hitting attacks, Adamantoise follows a simple, looping attack pattern from Phase 2 onwards, making it easier to predict its attacks and buffs.
The challenge comes from its defensive buffs; Earth Rage nearly halves all damage taken, and Savage Adamant Guard grants a massive, though brief, DEF/RES/MND buff. The boss's improved Protect and Shell should be dispelled, and Confounding Roar is optimally blocked with a source of status barriers or Mirror Image.
Ultimecia's instant-cast Hell's Judgment Soul Break is efficient but not required, as its entry debuff overrides Savage Adamant Guard's raw stat buffs and its Brave attack can dispel Protect and Shell.
