I made this channel mostly as a place to house videos of some of my proudest gaming accomplishments, across multiple genres. They're not all meant to entertain, but I'll be happy if they do anyway.
Wow you finished Odin off so quickly. I can’t even.. lol I try not to get hit so he won’t use Zantetsuken. And you took down Sephiroth quickly too, my goodness
WTF? How is this possible, This guy is a machine, got to be! The reflexes needed for the constant blocking/countering is astounding. I mean seriously mate, Watching this was FANTASTIC! I'm over here struggling trying to do Cactuar Crush 2 & 4 on hard mode with Aerith, not even getting close to the 6k points needed, and here you are making me look like a complete noob, I mean i have platinumed games like Dark Souls, Sekiro, Bloodbourne and Elden Ring and a bunch of other games but yet these challenges and the cactuar crush is killing me. Could you message me a build and tactic for Aerith Cactuar Crush because your clearly a master. MY hat goes off to you Sir!
Hey, hope you doing well. Just wanted to say thank you, I did platinum the game few months ago, now I decided to go back to play it again and I was trying to understand the benefits of unfettered fury and finally I understood. Funny enough I love Tifa, I did all the hard challenges with solo Tifa and I always considered Tifa so broken, she just deletes everything, and now with the understanding of unfettered fury she is even stronger than what I thought. Sadly enough there's only 1/2 enemies in the entire game that have enough hp to make this fun but at least Gilgamesh will cry, thats the only guy i couldnt kill in one stagger before maybe with this tech i can Ps: i saw 2 videos and the one i wanted to comment on was 4 min one but won't bother changing
Cait's my favourite character to play as in Rebirth. Great vid and gameplay, specially watching you do small stuff as jumping off the Moogle to absorb Fire damage as the Moogle can't.
This one seems like the safest guild. Ive been using optinoob build and got to Gilgamesh and consistently can beat him but lose on sephiroth. I may try this one before I give up for a month or two
If you are making it to Sephiroth, don't change your build. The only thing you really need for Sephiroth is know how to perfect block shadowy chains. If you wanna safely optinoob, don't go full swing til you get your first perfect block in. Put down a ward, bait out shadowy chains and block it, focused thrust him one time immediately after the perfect block, then go to town. He uses shadowy chains roughly every 15 seconds so after blocking it one time, you can finish the setup no problem. Alternatively, you can cancel his shadowy chains with a swiftcast thundaga or firaga, if you cast immediately when he readies shadowy chains.
This is a fantastic step by step guide but it really does need pointing out that Aethertruck has MAXXED weapons at level 9 and that makes a HUGE difference in damage output. That means he has finished every chapter on hard mode because a LOT of the folios are locked behind each chapter completion. Finishing FF7RB on Hard mode is fucking H A R D. I'm stuck at Rufus on Chpt. 11 and just want this bullshit to be over with already!
I did try to address this. Aerith is not equipped with Magic Up. Tifa is not equipped with Strength Up. Those 60 points of stat more than make up for the attack power gained from weapon level 9. I know STR Up is listed in Tifa's slots in the description, because that's what I recommend, but in the first 5 minutes of the video I show you I have that slot empty to compensate for weapon level 9. And considering she does the lion's share of the damage in these fights, particularly to Gilg and Seph, Barret's stats don't really matter. If your Tifa is weapon level 8 and uses my materia build, your Tifa is doing more damage than mine.
@@aethertruck I kinda glossed over that as I kinda knew what build you were going for but did notice the empty slots and wondered why that was. Thanks for explaining why. I’ll give this a shot with your method and see if I can’t finally get the Gotter after God knows how long… I’m at 430 hours now, granted about 100 of that is sightseeing and watching scenes all the way through again but damn, they made this one REALLY fucking hard.
@@zildog my first clear was a struggle too. I had many attempts fail at Odin and Gilg, but only 3 or so fails on Seph. That's how valuable perfect block is on Shadowy Chains. Almost nothing he does is threatening at all except Shadowy Chains, so if you really practice your answer for that, (and keep everyone topped up with prayer, magnify+regen and magnify+cure spells) the clear will definitely come.
@@aethertruck Will give that a go - it’s Odin that is wrecking me. Haven’t even dealt with Gilg yet but Seph looks a LOT easier. You were recommended to me by T Boom Gaming - solid reference as I’d never come across your vids before and I hate the Yuffie Brumal method. Will give it a go and hopefully make it stick!
Thanks for the video! You did awesome!! Gonna try this build on Tifa, still trying to beat this with 3, and you did it solo with Tifa lol you got skills bro
For this piece (even for chocobo song) the game ignore my inputs for some notes ! He says me « miss » whereas i spam the joystick 😅 For chocobo song the lvl 3 corrected the problem and i got the s rank but for this one always the same bug. Does anyone know how to fix this ? Ps : sorry for my english i’m french
I think you're probably misunderstanding the timing of the note you are missing. Some of these notes have tricky and deceptive timing. Increasing the speed makes it easier to tell exactly when the note is.
Skewer from Sephiroth too, why are they listed as unblockable if they are actually blockable? I completed all combat challenges including this one and I didn't know this was possible...
Aerith: Can you hear me calling Out your name? You know that I'm falling And I don't know what to say I'll speak a little louder I'll even shout You know that I'm proud And I can't get the words out Oh, I I want to be with you everywhere Oh, I I want to be with you everywhere (Wanna be with you everywhere) Something's happening Happening to me My friends say I'm acting peculiarly Come on, baby We better make a start You better make it soon Before you break my heart Sephiroth: As you wish 😂
No BS dude... this is easily the best and most informative guide for this challenge. Your walkthrough does not try to make everything sound "so easy" and instead focuses on being detailed and "friendly". VERY elite! Favorite video I have seen on this challenge. :)
How do you come to build these strategies or even understand these move sets so deeply. Are you just like a video game genius or something? Like seriously I don’t understand how I have almost 400 hours in the game which is probably 40% combat sim and I have a mere FRACTION of the understanding that is displayed in this video.
You have no idea how many hours I have in rulers of the outer worlds. 😵💫 A lot of my game hours have been explicitly for videos I've spent four or five hours trying to get a solo win and I just don't save the game after it's all done. My PlayStation tells me I have 360 hours in game. I'm not incredible at the rest of the game, I'm just very experienced with rulers of the outer worlds.
The Titan and Bahamut round was Godskin Duo levels of unbalanced and unsynchronized bullshit. Just both of them on top of you just doing whatever at any point but you basically flawless blocked all of it. Actually a God gamer.
Today I finally beated him! I'm terrible at parrying, and really upset with the developer that made it mandatory, but I can confort the other noobs like me: it only take one parry with the right strategy, and than you too can make it trough 😄 Don't give up!
3rd time coming back looking for this video. Now if I can get Sephiroth to not start the fights in aggro. Got the Gotter on 3 accounts but on my main account, Seph is calling in the chains as soon as the fight starts.
It does a small amount by default. Level 2 of precision defense focus makes that number go up, between 50-100% bonus pressure. It's my vote for #1 best materia in the game (if perfect blocks are something you actually try to do, anyway)
I cannot do the parry somehow finally got a build which works through all 4 rounds but this shadowy chain is impossible to parry i cant tell where he is going until it's too late :(
Pause (enter battle menu) more often. Just as a way to calm the nerves. As soon as you see the shadowy chains cast, immediately enter the tac menu and pay attention to the way he is facing. Make sure you use Precision Defense Focus materia on everyone. Parry has a much more forgiving timing window with that materia.
@@aethertruck thank you for the advice, I'll try again. Thankfully the build i have has precision defence and I am normally pretty good at parrying. Really hope I can get him next time fingers crossed hah
@@NeverAgain507 whenever he does the crouching version which will be most of the time, his left foot will be pointing in the direction of his target. Forgot to emphasize that.
@@aethertruck after a long break (because it was starting to get mad) I finally did it just by following what you said. Thank you for your help. Literally barely spent 30 seconds out of the battle menu. Yuffie (thanks to her speed) I noticed can actually avoid shadow chains if you are too late to parry (like when she is attacking as shadowy chains came up) so that helped too.
A great way to practise this monster piece is watch the youtube on 0.5 then 0.75 speed with your controller in hand and practise the rhythm on screen then slowly speed up as you get the hang of it
Practice modes for rhythm games often include this type of accomodation. Unfortunately, this game isn't a real rhythm game, so they didn't include a practice mode. Slow rate video playback is the only option people have at some version of practice, good tip
This took me about a half hour. What some people don't know about me though is that rhythm games are my most played genre. A lot of the same skills absolutely translate from game to game. People who have never played a rhythm game in their lives are probably not going to be able to do this even if they had several days of practice. They didn't expect non rhythm gaming standard FF game players to be able to do it so they didn't give any rewards for it. It's just there for fun and the game doesn't record your accomplishments anywhere except for the song menu in the piano minigame.
I gotta say, as crazy as your fights are, most people who struggle with this fight still don't understand how powerful Transendence is or how Synergies work with the R buttons. Also, you really do need to mention that you're level 9 with all manuscripts on hard mode! That makes a yuge difference.
The best thing about this game is not about how beautiful, or how complex and yet simple it is: "You wanna float through, see the sights and enjoy the story, reminiscing about years of nostalgic memories? Go ahead and enjoy the ride, fellow soldier." As opposed to: "You wanna get your fucking ass kicked on Hard Mode learning how the mechanics work in some of the toughest shit you've ever dealt with in a video game? Good fucking luck and may God have mercy on your soul and grant you eternal perfect parries."
Idk why i never use the menu to slow down and think. Gilgamesh seems like the only one i have to study. Perfect block is hard to do under stress. This is actually a guide, appreciate that. The rest are just "go in blind and cheese it". Thanks for letting us know what to do, helps me feel better about tryin this again, but without a cheese.
Yeah this looks like a fight I'll HAVE to learn how to parry, because, yeah while magnify manawall is cool and all, what does sephiroth do right after octaslash? Another shadowy chains immediately, that just ain't fair. Anyway this guide has helped, and funnily enough I used the same method with the 3D Brawler Sephiroth boss.
damn you're so good at those precision blocks! nice! even Aerith was like, "I don't know how i did that" esp with Odin wow man. I am inspired to get good at that too. Sephy baby tried SO MANY TIMES to get you with chains
Precision defense focus materia can block "bind" type attacks at level 3, which are attacks that have special animations when they hit you. Things like Bahamut's crush grip, Sephiroth's skewer, and Titan's throw move. Not every exclamation point is a bind attack, but every bind attack is an exclamation point move. Learning which is which is something you have to figure out, the game doesn't tell you. But you need max level precision defense focus materia for perfect blocks to work on them. Some of these bind attacks are much easier to perfect block than dodge. Gilgamesh pose is easier to perfect block than dodge in my opinion, but skewer is easier to dodge. Still though, perfect blocking generates a good chunk of stagger, so when I'm playing normally I try to parry a lot
Bro this guide is amazing. Wow. I've learned so much. This is Elden Ring level of difficulty here where we really need to study moves, learn to perfect block, and exploit the tiniest weakness.
Well to be fair, only two of these bosses aren't easily challengable on their own. Gilgamesh is the lions share of knowledge check in the whole gauntlet and he's not very likely to wipe you without having a few minutes to practice him. Sephiroth is really the only Elden Ring type boss imo. He will wipe you in 3 mistakes. But at least his lethal attack gives you plenty of time to prepare. It's like 3 seconds for the crouching version and there's no variation. You can also dodge the crouching version but it's a lot harder than perfect block. Just make sure you bring precision defense focus materia. The extra frames of perfect block make all. the. difference.
@aethertruck Gilgamesh is pretty tough too, for me anyway. Yesterday was my 1st and only try at this challenge with a limit siphon build, walk in the park until Gilgamesh. The dude attacks non stop with so many different attacks it's hard to remember it all. Will try getting to Sephiroth this time, thanks for the tips!
@@GoldChocobo77 unfortunate for you, limit siphon doesn't get good til you get thre reward for beating this challenge lol. Remember that Gilgamesh only attacks your piloted character like 90% of the time. You might have more success building ATB, then switching to a different character for like 5 seconds before using limit siphon/other actions. Also be sure to pilot another character during limit breaks, and if you don't have subversion materia to get rid of Gilgamesh's buffs, you should consider it.
@@GoldChocobo77 the stress free way to learn is to watch others. Don't be afraid to pause to reference something. Most of his attacks have a name. Just make sure to think about his swordplay abilities: shoddy means he's gonna stand still, sloppy means he's gonna dash at you. Roll behind him for sloppy, roll away for shoddy. And don't be afraid to block things with steadfast block materia. Blocking his attacks often builds more ATB than hitting him yourself.
