How to unlock the Commando's Seal achievement in Final Fantasy XIII - Definitive Guide

Use the combination of the Jabberwocky&Bandersnatch and the single Wiadislaus in the final area of the Tesseracts just before/after the battle with Tiamat Eliminator to max out all core roles(or if you're really ambitious all current possible alternate roles too). Each of these fights found at the top of a long set of ramps(secret elevator on the opposites side in the corner) will net you 32000 CP. Just ride the elevator up, fight both sets, ride the elevator back down, run to the save, and repeat. Netting 64000 CP each trip 740000 will take you 11.5 trips. This should only take but 1-1.5 hours to complete for an already well established team.

This is the best place in the entire game to grind for CP quickly. I maxed out all character's core roles and gained the needed 740000 CP to max their specialties once the 10th Crystarium stage is unlocked after the final battle with Orphan and the credits are done. Keep in mind that 999999 CP is the max CP you can have at any time. So make two save files if you want to come back to this area to max existing alternate roles if you haven't already chosen to do so as you won't be able to return to this area post-credits. Doing this will aid in post-story gameplay and make maxing out those additional roles take much less time on Gran Pulse.

Since it takes the same amount of CP to max out any one character's specialty core role(740000), it is possible to earn all six of these achievements immediately after you reload the post credits save file.

Use the following choices to max each character's specialty role in the most efficient way possible. Light=RAV, Sazh=SYN, Snow=SEN, Hope=MED, Vanille=SAB, Fang=COM

Yes, and I believe that's stated somewhere in the solution. If this was available post-credits, maxing out the rest of the roles would be a breeze though instead of the grind that it turned out to be. :(

This looks excellent, but am I right in thinking you can't do this if you've completed the game? As the mobs will be gone?

This can go quicker if you have the Growth Egg from the Neochu in mission 55 :) It;s extremely tough but keep spamming death and sooner or later it'll bite the dust, even if you retry loads like I did :P

I found it a lot easier just to fight the Jabberwocky and Bandersnatch. Yes their HP are higher, but they do a lot less damage so you don't even have to pay that much attention (very important whilst grinding and you're getting bored). The Wladislaus has that annoying Mounting Contempt attack which could ruin the fight pretty quickly

From what I remember, the Jabberwocky and Bandersnatch fight takes significantly longer than the Wladislaus, if done properly. Sooo, you actually made your grinding efforts last much longer than they needed to. wink

There is the save point of course and you don't have to do this all at once.

There is another Wladislaus and a Sanctum Templar on the winding ramp, which adds yet another 35k CP. So thats 99k CP each trip. I was able to complete a trip in about 10-12 minutes. Thats between 500-600k per hour in total.

You can max all roles up to Level 9 fairly easy here, and save up 999k CP so then once the credits have rolled and the last crystarium stage is unlocked it will be much easier to finish maxing everyone on gran pulse having much less to grinding to do.

In order to earn this, you must completely fill the Crystarium for the Commando role on any character. Commando is a primary role for Lightning, Sazh, Snow and Fang. In order to reach Stage 10 of the Crystarium to actually be able to fully upgrade it, you must first complete Chapter 13.

For further details, please see Master's Seal.
