This can be a fairly challenging fight and it's your first battle against an Oretoise-type enemy. If you plan to complete all of the game, and obtain each of the achievements and trophies, you will be getting much more familiar with these types of enemies very soon. They get much harder than this!
The difficulty for this fight comes from the massive amounts of damage that Adamanchelid can put out with its constant stomping on the ground. It will stomp five times in a row and each of these stomps will deal a significant amount of damage to your party members depending on how far through each of their Crystariums they are and how much HP they have.
Start the fight off with Libra and make sure you’re in a defensive paradigm that will allow one of your party members to apply helpful buffs (Haste, Protect, Shell). Using Evened Odds paradigm is useful because it will allow your Saboteur to apply Deprotect and Deshell.
Once you switch from defensive to offensive paradigms this will help you rip through Adamanchelid’s HP fairly quickly. Note that it's also susceptible to Daze. Having your Saboteur apply Daze will allow your Synergist time to finish applying buffs.
The goal is to bring the mark down with a single stagger and this should be achievable if you properly buff your group. You also need to be prepared for the attacks that occur between Adamanchelid’s five stomps. These attacks, which include Quake and Bay, can be very inhibitive. Quake will require intense healing and Bay removes positive status effects meaning you may need to reapply them.
It was recommended that you complete Mission 33 on the way to completing Mission 32 in which case you should now navigate to that Mission using the link below.
