Gogmagog

Gogmagog is a pretty easy boss to start off; his Swipe is his primary weapon although he can do a fair amount of damage with Ruin (although in some cases it is negligible).



Initially you won’t be able to do anything against Gogmagog and you should simply defend using SEN/SEN. You will notice he will raise his hands before the swipe, so use this as a sign that you should change paradigms back to SEN/SEN.

Sequence 1: "Before the fight"

 * Prepare the following Paradigms:
 * RAV / COM
 * COM / COM
 * SEN / SEN
 * Start the fight with SEN / SEN

Sequence 2: "Kickass time!"

 * Once the battles starts in earnest, switch to RAV/COM and let Serah stagger the Gogmagog – it doesn’t take that long.
 * Switch to COM/COM once staggered and begin to hit Gogmagog with everything you have.
 * Gogmagog will fight back hard and get ready for an attack of Ruin and/or Swipe– you may survive this on COM/COM, but as it can do a fair amount of damage you can switch to SEN/SEN and then back to COM/COM once the Ruin/Swipe has completed.

Sequence 3: "After you leave?"

 * You will encounter Gogmagog a second time as you move out of the area – he’ll have a shield which gives him invulnerability until he is staggered.
 * Use the "Sequence 2" method again to quickly stagger him – you can use RAV/RAV to stagger too, but RAV/COM seems to work very well. COM/COM will soon bring him down – be careful to defend against the swipe again.
