So I got the DLC, and I've beaten them 11 times so far. And alas, on the first battle I managed to get Amodar, but I haven't yet got Lightning. It's not exactly an arduous battle but it's getting a bit tedious now. I was just wondering if anyone has in fact managed to recruit Lightning or maybe whether it'll only let you have one of the two at a time and I have to get rid of Amodar.

Aha, I see I'm not the only one who hasn't obtained the crystal xD

Well at least you have 1 of them, I have none, I've beaten them quite a few times now and nothing, well, I've gotten "Lightnings Cross" which is an accessory but nothing aside from that, just keep pounding away at them, we'll get it eventually =]

Mmmk, seems like I've been luckier than I thought then lol.

I can only imagine that Lightning is going to be a pretty amazing COM as well going from how Amodar is. At max, which is only level 13 (so thankful it isn't as costly as Odin was) he has 6 atb segments, 12k hp and 800 str without any infusions. I'm determined to get this tonight now.

Giving it a rest now and then to get fragments.

Got her crystal on my 2nd try. I can say this , if I had spent more time trying to get her earlier in the game, it would have made thing so easy... but now that i've 100% the game, it's a bit late... Is she better than the blue chocobo ? Definitely way better in my opinion... That is of couse if you can get her to lvl 13. about 800 str/magic and 6.5k hp when upgraded with normal crystal, without any infusion.

Ah nice, I've done around 50 or so battles and still no luck, gonna keep trying. Should make farming a lot easier anyway, and with a nice Tonberry 35% magic infusion she should be dealing quite some damage.

I got her the other day, I forgot to post.

She is pretty damn good, and I prefer my party to be COM/RAV/RAV anyway, so all is good!

Mine has 940 or so magic thanks to one infusion, definitely worth grinding it out until you get her.

I tried to make things easier to by doing this:

Turn on the "Capture More Monsters" fragment skill, increases crystal drop rate by 20%

And apparently using Feral Link as a finishing attack increases the odds of obtaining any crystal.

Yeah, after trying about 20 times and not getting either i realized i only had to get the last 2 fragments at Vile Peaks to get the "Capture More Monsters" fragment skill lol...got the fragment skill and then got Lightning on my 2nd try lol...wish i had did that earlier, though i farmed quite a bit of crystals for leveling her up...with 1 infusion i have her over 1000 magic and around 6000 HP
