Hi Guys, I noticed a few different descriptions on how to beat this bastardo, and had some trouble myself so thought i would post this very simple, easy way to 5 star the guy.

A few prepatory pointers:

- I didn't use gold watch here, but if u have it, do, your target time will go from 16 mins to 19 (with all maxed out characters as i have).

- target time depends on weapon/crystarium level. Since Fang and Lightning (or whoever u use) aren't going to be attacking, give them the LOWEST level/crappiest weapons you have! This is important, in doing this with a gold watch, my target time went from 12 minutes to 19 - a huge difference!

- Vanille with at least Marlboro Wand (improved debuff II) is recommended so that poison sticks.

- I had no use at all for doctor's codes so i recommend doing as i did and dismantling them for elixirs. If you are worried about Treasure Hunter achievement, do that first, but you should be fine, since Doctor's Codes dont upgrade into anything anyway and elixirs are worth their weight in gold for this fight.

The general theory here is that in summoning Hecatoncheir, u render Vercingetorix helpless.. the point being the poison that is cast on him will keep damaging him and he can't get out of it, this is why you should take your time, as shown in the video, and when in Gestalt mode take AS LONG AS POSSIBLE to do each 1 point move (up + a), just before the dial hits 0, so the poison will damage him for as long as possible. The damage done with Hecatoncheir is a bonus, the poison is the main thing.

Other than that, you really only need Vanille, and follow the vid casting poison as soon as he comes out of Impenetrable Aura and then summoning Hecatoncheir immediately, and again immediately going into Gestalt mode (if you are not in Gestalt mode Vercingetorix can cast impenetrable aura and the poison is gone - meaning you will have wasted a summon. 3-4 repeats of this, as shown in the video, will kill this bastard nice and easy, making one of the toughest bosses in the game, and the final mission boss, not so bad after all!

To sum up here are the basic steps:

Begin by casting Poison on Vercingetorix, once it sticks, summon, immediately goto gestalt and then use the slow method of attack shown in the video.

Once out of this, goto tortoise paradigm, use an elixir, wait for Veringetorix to goto impenetrable aura, then quickly buff/heal if needed (salvation or rapid growth), then switch to evened odds and as soon as he comes out cast Poison again, summon again, and repeat the above.

Rinse and repeat until u smash the fucker to bits.

If you have any further questions please post and i'll endeavour to answer.

Happy gaming!
