How to unlock the Secret Mission 19 achievement in Tales of Vesperia - Definitive Guide
He'll rear up for a second or two, fairly frequently. You'll need to actually be UNDER him in order to hit his tail.

I was actually laying on the ground dizzy when one of Rita's spells knocked him down and hit him with his feet raised, so because he does the attack so much it's almost hard to miss this since one of your people will probably hit him even if you don't.

Do you recommend any preferable methods on how to do this? On my 2nd playthrough, and currently level 100....probably just going to use Rita I guess -_-

I did a very easy way that requires a bit of luck. This was my team:
Yuri
Estelle
Karol
Judith
I had skills on them that let them down opponents with with artes. I stood at a distance with Yuri and kept spamming Azure Edge from a safe distance since it goes through Gusios and hits his tail. Eventually, Karol downed him after I hit him with Azure Edge and the animation of Gusios falling down occured and I got the "GREAT" sign.

Use free run (hold LT) to get behind Gusios and attack his tail. You'll see it retract inside his body. Then run in front and wait for him to swipe (stay back for this) and then he will rear up on his hind legs and pound his chest (just before a ground slam attack) and run up to attack him. Ghost Wolf is a nice dash attack that can close the distance quickly.
