How to unlock the Secret Mission 17 achievement in Tales of Vesperia - Definitive Guide

Make sure before the fight that you have Raven in your party. Also make sure he has the arte Rain readily available. Be positive no skills are activated to change Rain into an altered arte i.e. Rainsong. You will also be using Destruction Field with Yuri, so make sure that is ready. During the second half of the fight, after Yeager reveals his heart, put everyone on Defend so you dont accidentally kill him. Use Yuri and go into Overlimit and spam Destruction Field over and over as fast as you can. After you've hit Yeager enough times he will stagger and stop covering his heart. Quickly switch to Raven, get directly in front of Yeager, and spam Rain. It was fairly easy doing it this way. Good luck!

Found a great link to a video someone made!

after the first 3 destruction fields (that might be enough to get guard break or very close if you're on normal and slightly overleveled) hit menu after each destruction field to make sure you dont hit him after he staggers OR any of your other party members or he will break out of his stupor and go back to normal. basically if you overkill it and hit him when he's staggering with something other than rain you blow it.

I actually just set Raven's Rain arte to all the directions on my right stick and had him and Rita defend while Estelle healed. Then I set the formation so that Raven would always stand directly behind Yuri so he was in the right position. When he staggered I just hit the right stick and got it on my first try. Destruction Field is definitely a good way to make him stagger though. Good solution. Thanks.

Dingo, I had troubles with Estelle when set to Heal. She would keep running up and attacking which made things difficult for me (also happened on the Alexei battle). I had to put 'em all to Defend.

One thing I found to be handy...when Yeager staggers, wait for him to get up just enough to show his chest, then use an Hourglass to stop time. It'll give you a bit more of a window to hit him.

Got it second try! First time I forgot to set my defense strategy and Estelle was using Artes. Second time, got it easily even without being in overlimit.

A real big hint to know when you got the guard break is the fact that Yeager will scream at that point. I kept on missing this because I couldn't see him hunch over because of the fatal strike icon covering him, but once I noticed the audio clue I got it easily.

Not gonna rate cuz it didnt work for me ... I used a hybrid of all above Waited after mystic art , used hourglass when he went into guard pose then used Raven OV1 4 times by hitting dpad right and spammed rain while rest of crew went all out on him. He staggered for a moment and then I got it,Could barely EVER get him to stager otherwise including using my entire TP bar and using all my OVs,Simply wouldnt do it for me , not sure it was lack of DPS of what...

Okay this is not my solution, but its not listed here and imo its by far the best solution. Taken from xbox360achievements, use who in the first half, but in the second half switch to raven, right after he does his mystic artes hit overlimit with raven, and just spam rain, he went down easily before my overlimit ran out. Just have the characters attack normally, and he will fall during your overlimit rain, and since you are continuously spamming rain its basically impossible not to hit him. BTW have quattro limit.

After 2 hours of cursing, I realized that I was using rainsong instead of rain all this time even if I thought I was not. Rainsong is the altered form of Rain.
In my case, Raven already learned the Crucible skill, thus he was shooting rainsong regardless of his weapon. Deactivate this skill in the skill menu and make sure that Raven is not using a weapon with Crucible. After knowing this, got the achievement in the first try.

This is the method that got me the achievement:

During the second half of the fight (after he reveals his heart), take control of Raven. Make sure you don't have any weapons or skills equipped that will alter your artes (you want normal Rain, not Rainsong). Keep your allies at their normal strategies and back up, making sure Yeager is facing you. Now go into Overlimit (having synthesized the Quatro for level 4 will help) and simply spam your Rain arte over and over and over. Your allies should add in some melee strikes and eventually he will go into a hunched over state where he is catching his breath. Since you are spamming Rain, it should have no problem hitting him directly after he does this. Since your allies are up close, they may hit him first, so use some Limit Bottles and try again until it works.

This youtube video seems to be an easy way as well, but I never tried it. Watch the video and click "more info" to read about his setup and exactly what he did.
