Mission 61: I, Juggernaut: 61

Learn how to defeat the Juggernaut in Final Fantasy XIII. This guide covers enemy info, location, and a winning strategy to earn your rewards.

Alright, let's tackle Mission 61, also known as 'I, Juggernaut'. This one's a bit of a throwback since we've fought Juggernauts before, but this particular mark is located in Oerba Village Proper. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it!

Enemy Info:

Location:

To find this mark, you'll want to head to Oerba Village Proper. Use the teleport stone and travel to the stone located within the village. From there, go down the ramp nearby and take a turn around the corner. You'll find the Juggernaut chilling in the open area right outside Van's house and the building shaped like a tank.

Strategy:

First things first, make sure you equip any fire-resistant accessories you might have. They'll definitely help out here. When you're ready to fight, start with a 'Relentless Assault' paradigm (COM/RAV/RAV). This is great for building up the Juggernaut's stagger gauge. Keep at it until the gauge hits at least 500%.

Once you've reached that stagger threshold, switch to your 'Cerberus' paradigm (COM/COM/COM). This is where you'll unleash some serious damage. As soon as the mark recovers from its stagger, immediately bring in a Synergist to cast crucial buffs like Protect, Shell, and Barfire. At the same time, have your Saboteurs apply debuffs such as Deshell, Deprotect, Imperil, and Poison. (Yep, machines can be poisoned, surprisingly!). After your buffs and debuffs are in place, you can go back on the offensive with your damage dealers. A second stagger should be more than enough to finish this tough enemy off.
