PostGameBlues Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Somehow the fight with Sephiroth took me longer to get through. Sephiroth not having Haste or Bravery/Faith slowed things down, and I wasn't about to give up on my Elemental <> Fire armor slots lol. 16 mins with Zack - 2 attempts, 18 mins with Sephiroth = first try. I exacted revenge on Odin for the way he treated me on my fight with Zack. Sephiroth's triangle counter is MADE for Odin. Also his evade -> triangle charge is quite broken. Spam that and you'll generate LB faster than Gotterdamerung. His dodge is also insane, might be better than Tifa's Chi Level 3 dodge.

Having Fire+Elemental definitely helps, potentionally instead of ATB Stagger + Enemy Skill. I also tried replacing HP Up with Time but that just made Cloud way too squishy, even with Sephiroth's magnified Barrier. In the end, the only change I made was adding Empowerment (Faith) instead of Enemy Skill. You lose out on some minor stats boosts, so the fights take a little longer (and the Odin fight is way more scary), but I found the other materia more valuable. Thinks for this gonna give this a go and see how do since it’s not as bad as zack and cloud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I used Magic Up in place of 'Magic Boost'. No need for MP Up as you're absorbing MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibiusMaximus Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Finally. Almost fucked it at the end eating a reprisal from Odin at the end, shot a Fira at him to take the last of his HP. Now to do Sephiroths! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibiusMaximus Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Bahamut without Haste in the Sephiroth fight is a bit of a nightmare, currently assessing the Magic build and wondering if I could swap out the HP UP for a Time Materia. Couldn't get enough damage in to Stagger Bahamut before he got to Gigadrive Mode, and then after he throws off Gigaflare, he goes into Hyperdrive Mode which is even more obnoxious. I knew I was beat the second I saw that shit, but I feel great comfort in knowing that that was the first time I'd ever seen him do that shit. Am I the only one that thinks that Sephiroth being constrained to the 9,999 Damage Limit is a wee bit underwhelming, given that he's supposed to be otherworldly levels of strong? The fact he's capped is both hilarious and somewhat disappointing to me haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonblood Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 So I've gotten up to Odin a few times with Zack using the Aero build. Did anyone who achieve success with the build use a different variation? The first version with elemental + fire is the best I do with it. I was thinking reraise could be good but I couldn't figure out what to take out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibiusMaximus Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Twice I’ve gotten Odin down to single hit levels of HP with Sephiroth, twice I’ve been ganked at the last and I’m so frustrated with this damn fight. I even tanked a fuckin Zantetsuken this time around, so fucked up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the only thing that I’d really be willing to sacrifice but for the Sephiroth fight Sonic Boom gives you Faith for keeping your Magic Damage up which is super valuable.

Yeah Sonic Boom was huge in the Sephi fight. Thankfully I somehow got that bout done first try with the Powerpyx build It's just the Zack fight I am losing my mind to. I got Odin down to 5% HP but got caught in his spatial move. I tried the other version of the Aero build with ATB stagger and First Srike but found I'd die way too much to elemental damage. So I think you're right. Reraise would probably only be good to swap with Enemy Skill. Just feel I need that extra cushion with Odin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I3rand0 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Widya posted an updated run a few days ago. This is the same exact build I used to beat the Zack bout and it shreads. Only took me 15 minutes to clear. Build is in the video description. For the Sephiroth bout, I used the same build except I swapped out ATB Boost and Enemy Skill for Magnify and Time. The extra Haste speed is super helpful for building ATB bars at the start before you turn Prime Mode on and go to town. Took me 25 minutes to clear Edited March 25 by I3rand0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkyrBlack Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Guys I got the plat rn 10 mins ago! The aeroga build for zack fights is so OP I did it first try! Like all zack did was curaga, haste and faith for cloud. Rest was all prime mode, plasma discharge and sonic boom with 2 atb for aeroga till death. Bahamut arisen was a problem. Cloud died to him and Zack also died but after raise'ing him so I got saved. He went to Gigaflare mode because of some tracking issue and I panicked but deleted him before the end. Always had a 3 bar synergy and limit in the bank as a panic button. That helped in the last stage of Odin. Zack died a total of 3 times but Cloud destroyed them no prob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibiusMaximus Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 God the absolute elation and weightless I feel after finally releasing all the pent up rage and tension in my body from doing those last 2 Legendary Challenges. 🤣💀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViologYgY Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 You don't need to destroy Bahamut's wings to stop Particle Charge. Use a Synergy Skill (or Ability) and he gets Pressured and stops absorbing particles. Turns one of the most stressful rounds into a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used it for Bonds of Friendship and To Be a Hero. I was really worried about the Legendary Trials after having struggled through Rulers of the Outer Worlds, but I had a much easier time with them. Kept count of how many attempts it took per trial: Cloud: 7 (had issues with the White Terror until I just went full aggro) Barrett: 9 (turtle power) Tifa: 4 (took a few times to learn Kid G's rhythm, got juggled by the Jabberwock once) Aerith: 2 (I got swallowed by one of the slimes I think? Game might have glitched, but I couldn't move and died within a few seconds) Red XIII: 1 (hell yeah) Yuffie: 2 (unlucky on Joker once) Cait: 2 (Moogle died at an inopportune time and I didn't have ATB to bring him back, got rushed) Bonds of Friendship: 4 (died to Titan twice and Hueyacotl once) To Be a Hero: 1 (Sephiroth is OP) For the most part, I followed the strategies on PowerPyx and just needed to learn the enemies' patterns. I did change Cloud's build to use this because I was having trouble with White Terror. IIRC it was Healing that I swapped out for Enemy Skill because I just used Chakra for healing. On the last two, the key is abusing your ally's infinite MP after Synergy. With Zach I'd cast Bravery on Cloud - after a stagger + Bravery-ed Limit/Infinity's End most stuff went down pretty quickly. With Sephiroth I just spammed Rearise for insurance against shennainganery (which was fortunate, because I got Zantetsukened in the Odin fight). Cloud also got petrified against Jabberwock and Sephiroth had to solo him, my heart rate was through the roof at that point. Very glad to be done with all of these. Onward to the story on Hard and the Platinum! Edited March 25 by Tothoro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SublimeHawk Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I'm currently trying to do Bonds of Friendship with the Aeroga build. My issue is that Zack runs out of MP by around round 5. If Zack dies or runs out of MP, it's pretty much game over. Cloud has no way to heal himself except Soothing Breeze. Also wondering if I'd be better using Sonic Boom instead of Prime Mode.

It gives Zack infinite MP for a time, so Zack's MP should not be a real issue during the fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gboccia Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Just paused on Odin. 10th try on this guy, a kill is a Platinum. Someone save me. Edit: Guardians make their own fate. All done. Just block... Edited March 25 by gboccia Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SublimeHawk Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I have now cleared Bonds of Friendship. I just need to get past the final hurdle which is To Be a Hero. Unfortunately the Aeroga build doesn't work as well for this challenge as Sephiroth doesn't have Faith or Haste. Haste is pretty much essential. I will try to swap Enemy Skill and ATB Boost for Time and Magnify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus is the hardest by far for multiple reasons so if you can beat him you can beat everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SublimeHawk Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) I never thought I would say this but Sephiroth seems to be nearly as bad as Zack. At least when you hold R1 with Zack he actually blocks. Sephiroth just stands there and takes full damage even with R1. Also Zack at least has Faith and Haste. 😄 Edited March 25 by SublimeHawk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
