How to unlock the Instrument of Tragedy achievement in FINAL FANTASY XIII - Definitive Guide
The boss is the Anima with the Right and Left Manipulators. Take out the manipulators to disable it's attacks and wail on it. The Anima will then regenerate the Manipulators, rinse and repeat. Heal as necessary with potions. A 5-star ranking is easy enough.
This is a story related achievement, which will unlock with natural progression through the game.
It will unlock towards the beginning of Chapter 3.
This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed. It will unlock at the beginning of Chapter 3.
The first thing that you should focus on is destroying both the Left and Right Manipulators, as these defend Anima if you try and attack him normally. Furthermore, destroying them will cause Anima to stop attacking you for a considerable amount of time to regenerate them. Once they are down, focus all your attacks on Anima to stagger it, which will give your attack damage a major boost. If Lightning’s health drops low, use a potion to replenish it. A combination of relentless attacks and healing when necessary will see him go down pretty quickly.
Once an important scene plays and the Chapter finishes, you will see a cutscene introducing you to Lake Bresha. After you take a few steps, this trophy will unlock.
