Hard Difficulty Tips: Just to make things even more annoying on Hard, Eligor now likes to cast Reflect so your Ice and Wind spells do nothing and you can’t use Cure to heal (he used reflect on Normal but only on himself, now he uses it on you too which blocks your Cure healing Materia). Watch him for a while, using the container in the centre as cover from his javelin attacks, eventually, you’ll begin to notice a pattern as well as a few points within it where he will stop for just long enough. You may also want to give Aerith a Fire materia so she can cast a few cheeky FiragasAdvertisementseval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'platget_com-narrow-sky-1','ezslot_10',182,'0','0'])); This fight is right at the start of the chapter so preserving at least half of your MP for Aerith and Cloud is going to be pretty crucial. If the Spectre traps one of your characters in a whirlwind, quickly switch to the other character to attack it. The Arsenal will begin using a move called “Firewall” which it will use to trap you within a bowling alley of it’s own design, down which it can just pelt you with devastating attacks. Make sure that whenever you’re playing as Cloud, you block any missiles. This is where Barret comes into his own, as he can keep targeting Airbuster with his enhanced Elemental attacks and whittling down its health. Only one Magnify unfortunately, would make things 5x easier. The annoying part of this fight hasn’t even begun yet (we warned you this was tough!). Remember, if Arsenal is close to entering the final phase it’s best to save it to finish it off quickly.

I tested my luck with the “Monsters of Legend” combat sim – which contains the Malboro fight – to see if I was going to be able to handle Hard Mode very well. To do this, use Punisher Mode, then use your Counterstance ability when you see ‘Whirlwhip’ appear above his head. Taking him out will get rid of the connection between himself and Rufus, which also acts as a shield and powers up their attacks. Hard Mode Tips: If you obtained Gotterdammerung from Pride and Joy earlier in Chapter 17 (highly recommended) then this is one of easiest boss fights in the game. Roll backwards out of range until he uses the ability and it misses. Maximum Fury, Ray of Judgement, Maximum Fury, Ray of Judgement. Use Overcharge, then regular attacks until you can unleash Maximum Fury and repeat the process.

Ascension absolutely ruins the Whispers and Bahamut as they have no physical resistance, so pop it at the start of battle and then whenever it’s available throughout the battle to reduce their health significantly. This is useful because not only does the enemy AI waste time turning around to face you while your team goes to town on it, but the party member AI is insanely good at knowing when to block or dodge, so they’ll probably be safer in their own hands than a player’s… no offence. This fight is a huge turning point in your Hard Mode run. Set-up: For the entirety of the challenge, of which Pride and Joy Prototype is the last fight, a team of Cloud, Tifa and Aerith is highly recommended. Equip it on Cloud and immediately use his Ascension on one of Jenova’s tentacles to break it and then keep using it whenever available, preferably on the main body. It’s a total playthrough-ender if you’re not careful. For most of the fight, you’ll want to be Barret. DO NOT SUMMON IFRIT OR SHIVA! Aim to build the Stagger gauge as quickly as possible to bring him down where he’s vulnerable to Cloud and Tifa, and hopefully you can bring Shiva into the fray and hit him with her ice-based attacks. If you die though, you will then know who is going to join so you can prepare accordingly. Thanks, developers! ability of the TWIN BLADE This is another boss weak to Fire, so the exact same set-up works as it did for Abzu. It’s not weak against any particular element, it’s not worth casting spells here. Just like the original version of Final Fantasy 7, the Airbuster fight is back in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. You want Fire + Elemental damage on Cloud and Barret. Use Overcharge and then regular attacks/Maximum Fury until they both break, at which point his heart will be visible. It might be best selecting all abilities from the Command Menu just for this fight rather than using shortcuts. Triple Slash is the best way of dealing with them. In this fight, since you have two characters in close proximity meleeing you, you’re almost guaranteed to successfully counter with it with every use. Don’t get cocky though, you’re still on Hard Mode so keep those gloves up! He’ll also use an AoE attack called Hell’s Gate which is best avoided by dodging out of range. Rude hits a lot harder than Reno, so he’ll knock you flat on your back. This page of the Final Fantasy VII Remake IGN Wiki Guide and Walkthrough contains tips, strategies, and weaknesses that will help you beat the Abzu and Abzu Shoats boss … Any one you want, since Sephiroth changes his elemental bias throughout the fight pretty randomly, there’s no telling which to use. Take out the Shoats ASAP as they can be annoying and make targeting difficult. Once it’s very low on health, it’ll fire off the Big Bomber attack (if you got rid of as many shells as possible with the keycards, it should only be able to use this once) and likely cause significant damage, so make sure you use any ATB remaining to heal. The last hit adds about 75% to the stagger bar in one strike. When it uses “Primary Fire”, don’t listen to Red XIII’s instructions to shoot the gun, it is not worth risking coming out of hiding to hit it while the drones are active. My tip for last 2 rounds is keep switching fighters to confuse the enemy. This fight is more of a duel than other boss battles, and there will be more of these to come down the line. You also want to be casting Blizzaga on him as much as you can, with all 3 characters.

You don’t want to prolong this fight. One other tip is that this might be a rare occasion where it’s best to use a MAX Pray Materia on one of your characters (probably Aerith) instead of using Magnify-Cure. I hated this one in my first playthrough so I was dreading doing it on Hard, but you’ll be pleased to know that it’s not much more difficult. It’s probably best during this phase to take out tentacles for the team with a few fully charged tempest attacks, but other than that just be careful not to get hit by Vengeance or caught by a black hole. I don’t recommend attempting the next bosses without it. What you need to do is knock out both the Left and Right Tentacles to Stagger the main Dreamweaver body. The first is as a cloud game. It’s also best to evade or dodge Aeolian Onslaught as Counterstance doesn’t work against it. While not quite as bad as Hell House, Eligor is up there in the top 5 toughest Hard Mode bosses. Assess Info: Tactical data not available. You can’t kill it in a single stagger. This is a guide to beating the Boss Airbuster in the game Final Fantasy 7 Remake (FF7R). The “Stop” Spell is useful when Eligor is flying in the air. Airbuster’s “Greater Resistance” is Stop (not Lightning), as shown in the guide. After he hits half health, he’ll cast Enrage on himself and his attacks will do more damage but the strategy remains the same. Thankfully, they only have a tiny fraction of the HP of the real ones, but they should still be the priority as they can overwhelm you. ". This way you’ll have killed them before they have a chance to stand up and attack you! Just keep a nice stream of bullets heading for its head from Barret and eventually, it will get frenzied and then saw its way out into the room where Tifa and Aerith lay in wait. Do you think we should fight Pride and Joy Prototype before other bosses in hard mode because it gives the very useful accessory Gotterdammerung?

On both my Hard and Normal playthroughs the party has been Cloud, Barret and Tifa. Filed Under: Final Fantasy VII Remake, Game Guides, How did you get the 2nd elemental material?

Aerith will keep hitting him for decent damage but the real damage will come from your Firagas. Quickly press [x] whenever you see Roche begin an attack animation, this will buy you time to select Counterstance and defend from most of the damage as well as dealing huge amounts of damage to Roche. If Hell House was the hardest boss yet, then Eligor is the most frustrating. It’s still easy to dodge so be mindful of it and continue with the Fire-based assault. It’s pretty slow here and does some pretty easily-avoided attacks. Your Limit should be close to recharged by now, but save it for his Stagger. In this challenge he summons Ifrit to join him once he hits half health. Whenever he has 2 ATB and the team doesn’t need healing, have him unleash a Blade Burst on the legs. Whilst it’s tempting to get the items, they’re actually disappointing and just more of the same items you can pick up everywhere. After he’s taken a chunk of damage, he’ll take to the skies and use Tidal Roar which are large water spouts that emerge from the floor. Once it approaches half health, it will use a move called God House Mode where it will stop the elemental shifting and instead be covered by a massive shield and take basically no damage while it flies around the room. Therefore, it’s best to just carry on hitting the main body. Hard Difficulty Tips: For this fight, there is very little to add except equip Cloud and Tifa with Elemental-Thunder to boost their attacks, and make sure you use Magnify-Cure to keep everyone topped up. This time, while you are beside it, it might start shooting a laser to the side, which you avoid in the same manner as avoiding its crush attack.

MP is precious so the more you can heal without it, the better you’ll fare in the future. This is his version of Counterstance, so if you attack him he’ll block it then hammer you. With steadfast block equipped the damage is heavily reduced, and dodging is so slow you’ll likely take more damage from the 2 or 3 missiles which hit you while dodging than you would if you just blocked them all. The other Whispers that you aren’t attacking tend to be preoccupied with your other party members so you shouldn’t have too much trouble tanking the one you’re focusing on as Cloud. Cast Manawall on all characters and Haste on Cloud/Tifa so that they can use their Focused abilities to Stagger him. Blast it with Fire Magic and when your Limit Breaks and Summon are charged unleash those for heavy damage. Equip Star Pendant Accessory to be immune to its poison attacks. This move does a ton of damage and he’ll spray balls of energy everywhere, the only way to not get hit by this is to hide behind containers. Live demos featured the battle with this boss, and the downloadable demo included it. Assess Info: Aim for their mouth when they use Bad Breath or Chow Down, as hitting them there will make them susceptible to staggering. -to use the ELEMENTAL MATERIA (at least 2 LVL for electric immunity) in the Hell House chooses a random element to begin the battle with, but it seems to be Fire 75-80% of the time. You’ll want Ice materia on all 3 members. You can actually ignore those gray spectres and focus just on the Enigmatic Spectre by fighting it in mid-air. The gray spectres won’t hit you much while fighting the Enigmatic Spectre in mid-air. Once this attack is done, he takes a good few second to cool down, so you have time to heal up and get a few physical attacks and abilities in.

Whenever the house has somebody trapped with Hospitality or Renewed Hospitality, and it doesn’t need poisoning, then use Ray of Judgement or Triple Slash to get in some extra damage. And hey, there’s a trophy for it too. During this phase, its main attack alongside its normal bullet attacks will be Voltaic Discharge, which are electric circles on the floor. Page 1 of 1 Start over Page 1 of 1 . I like to use “Triple Slash” or “Blade Burst” with Cloud and obviously “Maximum Fury” with Barret. For Aerith though, the free healing offered by her level 1 Limit Break is going to be invaluable, so keep that equipped. This could be critical during the final stage. Be patient, take your time, savour this easy part of the fight. You do want to have a maxed-out Poison materia equipped though, it’s going to be the key to winning this thing. Remember this boss is weak to Ice, so use whatever MP you can spare to cast your strongest ice magic. Conclusion: don’t let it happen. This deals it massive damage.

Give Elemental + Lightning materia to both Barret and Cloud, on their weapons. The strategy remains the same as Easy/Normal, except you’ll have to heal much more and deal with the Tonberries. Since this is a VR battle and MP consumption doesn’t matter, use all your characters to cast Thundagas during the aerial phase to bring him down quicker, too. You may even get another Dolphin Flurry through all of this so use it to finish things off with ease. As your MP only gets replenished between chapters, you’ll need to only use it if absolutely necessary, mostly for healing but sometimes for powerful spells against bosses.

Use abilities when you have ATB charge. Summon Shiva when you can, too. Block, counter and hit him with Focused Thrust when your ATB charges up in order to build Stagger, then switch to Triple Slash when he’s in Stagger to do good damage. This battle will take a while as it has high HP, but you have little to fear if you’re patient and top up your health. Use Barret’s Overcharge to do good damage to him along with Cloud’s Fire and he’ll soon jump back down and begin the next phase. You’ll get em next time! However, with little patience and poor timing, he can struggle where MrZhangetsu would succeed. In fact, if you want to get Staggering Feat out of the way, this is your best bet. This means fewer, if any, wide AoE attacks and targeting distant targets and more learning attacks and how to dodge them. Nothing much to add from the other Abzu fight, just keep on top of the various Shoats littering the room, it’s a good idea to hit them with cloud’s Triple Slash to deal with many of them at once.

This will be a physical battle, which is handy as you have Cloud and Tifa in your team. After this attack, it will be Pressured so this is your chance to hit it with Focused Shot/Ray of Judgement to build that Stagger bar. You’ll need to face the “Whisper Bahamut” at the end, but he’s pretty simple, just keep up the same strategy. Assess Info: Melee, lightning and wind attacks rapidly fill its stagger gauge, but long-range and magic attacks have only a slight effect. There will be many opportunities for getting more Mako shards from crates coming up, but don’t rely on that fact too much. The former only grants you items, whereas the AI Cores slows the boss down and limits his stun attacks and removing the bombs reduces the number of times he can use powerful explosives. 2) You also say that Planet Protection can be used to survive Megaflare – I had this active when Bahamut used Megaflare and still took damage from it. These can hit you behind pillars too! Well I found 6 keycards. Bahamut hits really hard and is a great option for this fight. This is likely to be Cloud since Aerith shouldn’t be anywhere near Hell House, and the good news is she can still heal Cloud even if he’s inside the house. Counterstance is the way to go here, since he loves to swipe his claws at Cloud very often.

Hi, I got a question, about the arsenal boss, I once accidentally made the arsenal shot itself with its pulse cannon, was using barret fighting up close when the boss was charging, but i only did it once, the other time i just straight away got the beam on my face.. do you guys have any ideas? If you happen to have two MAX Barrier Materia, assign one to Tifa or Aerith too (whoever joins you), thus you can draw from two character’s MP pools. Other than that, make sure you take the drone out instantly and use the debris around the battlefield to protect you from attacks rather than trying to Guard or dodge. Note: Hold square in the cutscene before this fight to get an opportunity to prepare your loadout. That’s because you now have access to all the end-game weapons and Materia whereas on your first run you just had the bare minimum. Another thing you should have is Gotterdammerung (obtained by beating Pride and Joy on Hard in Chapter 17 Shinra Combat Simulator).

If you’ve already built up a Limit Break with one or two characters, now is the time to use it! Jenova can be one of the most annoying bosses since she counters almost every melee attack with a tentacle whip. Meaning that type of attack doesn’t do well against it. There’s a container in the room which you can put between the boss and yourself which is great for blocking missiles, beams, and whatever else it throws at you. An Aeroga will knock him down for a moment, which presents a perfect opening for a Limit Break which should take down most of his health. If you have enough MP then you can pretty much use this method to keep a steady stream of limit breaks coming.
