The fight begins with Lightning alone. At first she doesn't seem threatening as she only uses basic Commando attacks. However, at about 80% health a brief cutscene introduces Amodar and his gargantuan machine gun. It is recommended to enter the fight with a high-level party. The fight is still a challenge for a party with maxed-out Crystarium, full-fragment Odin weapons, a generic paradigm deck (no Tortoise required), and fully developed Gold and Silver Chocobos.
