Unfortunately, Raspatil's attack cycle is a bit faster than mine;mine: adds get summoned earlier and earlier in the stagger period and you start to get too low in health. So after the second or third stagger, I started switching to Diversity and targeting the adds immediately after they were summoned. This provided less time for damaging Raspatil, but kept the situation from spiraling out of control.

After the 5th or 6th stagger, Raspatil essentially lapped my cycle and caused me to almost miss a stagger almost entirely. This washappened to be a blessing in disguise as it essentially resynced our attack cycles.

Once Raspatil was down to 25%, I used Serah and Noel's ultimates when the chain gauge was up to 850-900%850–900%, I used Serah and Noel's ultimate attacks, Ultima Arrow and Meteor Javelin. Then I started to get a little more aggressive as well, staying in the Aggression phase of my attack cycle for longer. Raspatil died while all the adds were active, so I just finished them off and completed the encounter.

While I had a relatively easy time likely due to my party's relative power, it's mostly about dealing with Raspatil's attack cycle being faster than yours. Raspatil has two gotchas:

  • You need to kill all the adds summoned before Raspatil casts Beseech. It will happen after a (somewhat extended) period time after every summon, so you can't stop focusing on adds until the end of the encounter.

  • You need to manage wounds to prevent yourself from getting into situations where your your party's max HP havehas been capped in the yellow zone, providing an opportunity for Raspatil to one shot you even with a dedicated healer.
