Jitters84 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Is there anyway to test the bosses on hard mode one by one? If you test them on hard mode in the combat sim on hard they are only "normal" difficulty. I've gotten to Odin twice after tons of attempts and normal Odin just doesn't seem to prep me for the hard mode one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume your builds will be similar to the other caster builds going around but with some more descriptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isnt unfortunately, all you can do is learn there mechanics more or less and moves. 14 minutes ago, Jitters84 said: Post soon! Been stuck for 2 days on these.

Very similar with some tweaks, having a build based around Wind is the best for general damage throughout all rounds, so most optimal guides will be using that element. We get rid of Titan instantly by stopping him as soon as the fight starts, the first 4 rounds are over within 15 secs, though after that, you will need a little knowledge of the enemies, though I will do my best to explain.

Looking forward to the post! Any tips will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nudoetcrudo Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) What is considered harder? Ruler of the Outer Worlds or the last 2 legendaries? (Haven't done the last legendary yet). Also, what is considered the safest / easiest build for Ruler? I ended up beating it with a modified version of the build that uses Yuffie (Brumal + ATB Ward) and Aerith (aga spells with wards + Genji Gloves), but I found it too much luck-based, especially the last fight (if Sephiroth targets a non-leader, you need to understand who he's targeting to parry Shadow Chains). Haven't tried Tifa's Divekick build, but I am curious to test it. Edited March 29 by nudoetcrudo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tothoro Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 It'll vary by person, but anecdotally most of the discourse I've seen places Ruler of the Outer Worlds as the hardest and I would definitely agree with that sentiment. I do think part of that is people doing Rulers first though, the Legendary challenges share a lot of the same bosses and you'll have a pretty good idea of their patterns and strategies by the time you're finishing them up. Optinooby's guide is certainly makes it look the easiest, but I didn't find it until after I'd beaten the challenge (my build here). And you couldn't pay me to go through that again, haha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphiprion11513 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Yeah I second that they’re most likely going to vary by person. I had no issues with Rulers thanks to Optinooby’s guide. I spent the most time on those last two Legendary missions. I found those to be the most challenging, it ultimately comes down to practice and getting the hang of what you need to do to make it smooth and not panic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudoetcrudo Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Thanks for the replies! I just checked Optinoob's guide and I ended up basically with the same build and strat for Ruler lol Sephiroth is still not 100% safe, but it seems to be the best strategy atm. Now I am excited about the last 2 bouts Edited March 29 by nudoetcrudo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyAmato Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I just got them done after 2 straight weeks of attempting them. gotta Thank @Optinoobyfor the guides, I was having trouble doing all the other methods. I don’t think I’d have gotten the platinum if not for @Optinooby! if you’re having trouble watch his guide fight by fight. Pause as the round begins and watch the video to re familiarize the strategy for that round! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitters84 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Jesus. What a grind. Thanks to @Optinooby, Solestro and Widya Vello's videos for getting me through brutal/legendary. I've plat'd every From Soft game and this game was a bigger combination of grind and challenge than any of those (albeit the combat isn't as satisfying/fair as a From boss and each individual boss is fairly easy by itself as I'm confident I could kill any boss in the game 80% of the time on hard now whereas a Souls game, I'm happy with a 20% chance on many :P). Only Hollow Knight's boss rush mode made me sink that many hours into a single bosses/boss runs before. I kinda liked the challenge of the boss rush mode, but do hope that's either toned down or they tone down the quantity mini-games/open world in Part 3. If I knew I had 20 hours of boss rushes after dozens of hours of mastering some fun mini games (Queen's blood and chocobo races) and some horrible mini games (sit-ups, 3D brawler...) I don't know if I would have done it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few more tries got killed to other enemies... eldrige horror and odin can go back to hell. I'm really beginning to dispise this platinum and the game.

Tewlbawx Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Finally achieved the platnium today. Shoutout to @Optinooby for your clever guides for the more difficult brutal and legendary bouts. Would recommend his guides 10/10 for anyone struggling with those VR matches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalFearbringer Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Hi guys, just wanted to know what are the hardest challenges in the game when it comes to VR missions: 1 - Bonds of Friendship 2 - Rulers of the outer worlds 3 - To be a Hero Is it safe to assume that this is the order based on difficulty? So far I've only managed to do Rulers of, which was super draining, that Sephiroth is proper unfair. Currently trying To be a Hero but Odin is killing me every time I reach him.

Oddish88 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I've made a few guides for these. I've tried to keep the buildd very simple yet effective at clearing the fights. One thing I've noticed is elemental spells being very overpowered here. Barret vs the Colossi this one is kinda funny, running barret as fire mage and it's close to impossible to die. I actually don't move, block or dodge even once during it. Aerith vs The Magi Fire/Ice based build, with 1:21 clear time not much can go wrong Cloud vs The Warriors yet another magic build, lightning based this time Bonds of Friendship Cloud is a wind/lightning mage with prime mode, zack is largely ignored just used as faith/haste/stop buffer Will do more if it helps anyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
