@@sebbakiddb3770 It's at the end of the video Cloud: Rune Blade, Cetran Bracer, Genji Gloves (+ Gilgamesh summon) Tifa: Dragon Claws, Cetran Armlet, Fury Ring (+ Odin summon) Barret: Battle Cry, Valkyrian Bangle, Chocoking's Cape (+ Alexander summon)
Just had to comment and say thanks for this. After losing to Sephiroth multiple times I looked to see if there was an easier method and within a couple tries this was enough to crush the challenge in like half the time as my other attempts! Tifa once again proving why she's the goat in more ways than one.
Your build is perfect i done this trial after many atempts. I was reaching sephirot in 20-30 mins and with your build it was only 7-10 mins. I finally done this and sephirot was way easier than gilgamesh once i got the timing for parry took like 10 tries. 💜💜💜💜Thanks.
Thank you so much for making this build. With every other build for this trial I saw, I could barely get past Odin & Alexander, let alone Gilgamesh. Thanks to how quickly each round goes, I was able to perfect the Parry mechanic and beat Virtual Sephiroth this morning!
Man it realy work for you? I will try on my side cause im stuck on this challenge for days? It only remain me this thing, the legendary one and the hard difficulty of the story in har for the platinum
I don't understand why square enix is treating us like we are all sado masochist with this game. All I want to do is Platinum so I can move on with my life. Still stuck on Gilgamesh 220 hours played I can't freaking do it. Trying every guide including this one I just get turned into a frog and my party wipes. 100x I've tried with no progress. IDK what I'm doing wrong. I've beat and platinumed every dark souls game, I love challenges. This isn't a challenge, it's cock and ball torture. Why would they make the game like this? Who asked for this???
Thanks for providing the build for this, while I didn’t come close to 4-5 minutes, I still went from a 27 minute attempt at Gilgamesh to finishing the whole thing in 9 minutes. Great job/skills! Coming back to edit this, was able to get a 5:37 clear time, once you can get the parrying on Gilgamesh down it drops the amount of time on the fight considerably. Be patient and keep trying, you’ll eventually muscle memory everything.
@miguelbastida2899 you the one you'll need the most skill for is sephiroth because you have to perfect block his grab but other than that just hold block for dear life. If feel like you can't dodge
@@KingAlucard101i meant with skilm this perfect way like the video creator. His Timing on everything is so fluent. I think to parry sephiroth is not as diifficult. The shadow chains seems very easy to parry. At least the melee one.
@@miguelbastida2899I beat it in about 9 minutes with their build. It’s also very skill dependent. If I had their reflexes with perfect parrying I’d have probably finished it in 6 minutes. The AI is too erratic for me to read.
You played so well! I am not even close to perfect parry every single attack and dodge like you do lol. I tried this strategy and OMG Tifa deals so much damage Odin and Alex get wiped out quick and that phase was blocking me from continuing the challenge. I knew she was broken but divekick and true strike are wayyy to OP and I love it! I got to Gilgamesh for the first time and he's much stronger than the first duel, gotta practice so I can destroy both him and Sephy! My materias are not all max lvl so I'm not as powerful and I take more dmg but I think I can do it quite easily now. Tifa is the GOAT and once again proves she's beyond Godlike level of power and I can't wait to play hard mode and maximize her damage and try different combos (I love overpower and starshower for example so I want to make a super long OP combo with those abilities). I also want to try different builds for every party member to do this challenge like Red and Caith doing silly moves to these wild bosses. Again thank you for this amazing build and showcase and well done, you are skilled!
Gilgamesh is a real pain in the butt. Seems the strategy is to stay away and parry what can be parrried, the majority of his attacks being unblockables. Build up your ATB for a Firaga just in time to wipe out his Genji Shield then pour on the pressure. Short version : Don't go toe to toe with Gilgz
Awesome!!!! I knew tifa was key to this haha. This is where the game gets interesting once ppl start getting insane damage and challenges no longer a 30+min slog
I've reached Sephiroth like 10 times (with a different build), but I just can't parry "Shadowy Chains". I have no idea when I'm supposed to press the button. I tried when he's rushing on me and also tried when the sword is about to hit, but it doesn't work and I end up dead within 30 seconds lol. Any tips to parry his attack? Thanks!
It seems I am a bit behind on Tifa's moveset. Could someone explain what they are doing to gain atb while attacking Titan at 1:25? I've never seen that move and don't know how to execute it. I'm sure it has something to do with Unfettered Fury. Thanks in advance!
It took me a like half an hour to figure it out but what he is essentially doing is LVL2 Chi level from unbridled strength then activate unfettered furry to have RAGE AND FALL hold square to start whirling uppercut and press square again afterwards it cancels the uppercut and does the attack you are seeing
yea it's p annoying because the time window is so short. I recommend maybe trying to activate partners in pain before delivering the killing blow on Kujata if you can.
I tried this strat and 5 times out of 10 I can't get past Titan / Bahamut or Odin / Alexander, the boss AI just sometimes says nope, we won't let you play anymore.
Takes me about 12mins to get to gilgamesh, I’m still pretty inconsistent on gilgamesh and have never beaten virtual sephiroth and this guy takes care of it in 4mins 😂 But seeing this video makes me realize how useful blocking is, i’ll have to learn to incorporate that on my playstyle
@@zoge9 what approach? is it the siphon strat? the method in the video works, the damage output is insane but i cannot make it pass odin coz the team is built around offense and dies fast
@@AdamOP11 yup, i used the limit siphon method. With a few personal tweaks. I put in barret and always reserves his atb for healing, and just use overcharge as his main dmg. Odin and alexander is a bit harder with this method but it made gilgamesh easier for me which was i was never consistent on, when it comes to sephiroth he’s actually really easy once you use blocks, his timing isn’t that hard.
@@achrafachraf322 have you seen the unlimited limit break trick? I tweaked that tot personal preference, i had cloud use the regular expeditionary medal so he starts with ascension instead of cross slash, i also used sleek saber with 2x attack +20 and 2x atb, barret was my designated support and only used his atb for healing and barrier. Also learned to incorporate blocks into my playstyle which helped a lot. If this doesn’t work for you try different strategies or combine them to your personal preference like i did.
All these comments saying great guide except this guy isn't explaining half the stuff he's doing and it's clear that he's ran this about 6000x before because he had Gilgameshs moveset down pat; like you can hardly call this a guide you haven't explained your strategy at all and it's clear to anyone watching this it's not just Divekicky you are doing, you are doing a very specific sequence of actions that is resulting in terrific damage numbers, what you aren't doing is explaining anything though to be fair this isn't called a guide :)
I'm also stuck on the Gilgamesh part of the challenge. For the most part I think I understand it but if memory serves what tripped me up would obviously be if I got turned into a frog (let's try to dodge those, yes I know), being turned to stone (is that from his gilgamesh beam? He only has about 80 different skills at his disposal), and then on my last attempt I think there was like a purple shield or something around him that would paralyze my characters anytime they tried to attack him? Since the game kind of depends on atb what are you supposed to do in that moment...
I already beat this but messing around other builds - had a specific question is octaslash physical damage or magic damage? I don’t want to waste extra mp if I don’t have to thanks o/
Holy crap! I finally did it! Tried the Yuffie method first, but Phoenix and Kujata kept getting on my nerves with their AOE bs so I switched to this method. It makes short work of the summons, so Gilgamesh and Sephiroth are the only real threats. But damn Virtual Sephiroth is a freaking pain though once you get through the first phase, it's actually easier, as long as you have fire and ice paired with elemental you'll replenish your health. The first phase is a pain, one false parry and you're getting shadow chained.
I FINALLY BEAT Sephiroth! I used Cloud, Barrett, & Tifa. All I needed to do was have Barrett cast Barrier-All twice & I was able survive Virtual Sephiroth’s Octaslash each time. I never parried Sephiroth’s Shadowy Chains btw. 1. Barrett cast Barrier-All 2x. 2. Tifa’s armor: Cetran Armlet 3. Tifa: Tranference Module 4. Cloud: Limit Booster 5. Cloud cast Regan-all at the beginning of each battle. 6. Tifa cast Haste-all at the beginning of each battle. It only took me 30hrs 😂 I couldn’t beat Sephiroth’s Shadow Chains & I kept havijg stupid deaths to Alexander, Odin, & Gilgamesh.
Kudos to you for this. It takes me the length of this video to even beat Kujata so idk if there’s more going on other than just the build. I’m gonna have to stick to the limit loop method tho because I’ve tried this way countless times but the enemies are just too aggressive and I need constant healing
It was a combination of focused strike and focused shot that staggered Alexander, not heavenly ascent. I’m not entirely sure if focused strike builds more stagger from the air or not but the majority was a 2ATB focused shot and Tifa finished off the stagger with focused strike.
Doesn't work for me at all, hard to predict incoming attacks, getting constantly flung away.. best I could do is get to round 3 and there Odin just killed everyone.. I don't understand how are people doing this, copied everything including skills and moves and yet I fail every time
Probably because you’re doing just that, copying it with no experience. This person probably practices for hours or days to become good enough to perfect parry most of the attacks. This isn’t supposed to be an easy way to beat them just because it’s done quickly; it’s a way for people with a lot of practice AND skill to be able to beat them fast, but you need to take the time to learn the enemy patterns
@@RAGEAlanBun Yeah that's fair, I honestly thought this was some cheese easy strat but it's insanely difficult to pull off, I could never do such perfect parries, I can't even see the attacks coming in the first place, especially Phoenix just interrupting me from offscreen.
@@BaalSilverwing It's not an "experience" thing trust THAT. I do find the vr simulators frustrating because sometimes the opponents may not consistently use the same abilities (meaning they could be a little bit more aggressive so if you start losing matches you were previously winning you are not tripping), some things probably could have been patched (like the phoenix dragging your character across the screen because who cares about the players right), and overall just very hit or miss. So I felt the frustration, I have beaten every vr challenge except for this one!
@@xRoycex I already got the platinum month ago and ironically enough I understood how this Tifa Divekick strat works for this challenge which helped me beat it :) There's steps that have to be done in proper order, once you get that muscle memory it's a breeze and learn the gimmicks of certain enemies like Odin. Hardest one was definitely Gilgamesh, divekicking alone won't get you anywhere, you MUST know how to parry, especially for Gilgamesh and Sephiroth you literally HAVE TO parry
@@biohead66 I just toughed it out… after accidentally resetting to Elena vs Rudy… twice. Fucking sucked. But yeah I pulled through. It was mad close though against Rufus.
@@hayyinha Best advice i can personally give is maximize dps with tifa, hope you get a cycle which bahumut doesn't target tifa at the begging and for Gilgamesh i beat him more consistently by learning all his moves, spreading the party so every one is far away from each other and constantly swaping, bcs he only goes for the character you are currently controlling. For seph if he does chain your hole party and octaslashes you hope you have baret's life saver ability up so cloud and tifa will survive and be ready to res him. Phoenix comes cluch if you are running out of MP.
I don't get how your damage on dragon gloves is so high... ? I used same materia and still kaiser gloves are much higher. My divekicks are only doing like 3.5 to 4k can you tell me what I'm missing?
No they are not...they are at LEGENDARY power. This is the hardest battle in the entire game... to even have access to this u gotta beat 5 previous legendary battles, of which all of them have enemies in them that can 1 shot u. the reward is the best item in the game: gotterdamerung
Great build. But I'm giving up. Cannot grasp when to parry Sephiroth. Takes at most 30 seconds and I'm done. If he would at least focus on the main (just like every other mob), I could handle that. But right now Sephiroth is beyond bs. Gilgamesh is much easier, although he has more skills he randomly uses.
Can someone explain to me what happens on the odin and alexander fight at like 2:41. He somehow wastes all of clouds and barrets atb in a matter of a few seconds and even slowing video down I cannot see what he does. It kills Alexander's arms in like 5 seconds.
Holding L1 press R2 or L2 Switches to allies command bar then button for skill assigned in this case firaga cloud focus shot barret could be wrong but hes so unbelieveble fast with it
Thanky to your guide im quite often able to go to round 4. But I need help with Gilgamesh. Can somebody explain me how to beat him? I mostly get killed by the attack where he stands on you and basically one hit ko's me
its the lvl 2 unfluttered flury when it says rise and fall, hold square for the uppercut then press square again after for the special attack that fills up the atb bar instantly
Is there anyone that’s done this with this build that would be a champ and wanna help me through SharePlay I can’t get past Gilgamesh and it’s driving me crazy
@@BoBurnham69 i beat the challenge yesterday with the Yuffi, Aerith and Barret Build. This where Yuffi is in her Brumal Form. Give Aerith Genji Gloves. For the Gloves, you can start Chapter 12 on Hard and fast travel to Quezacotl and the red Morbol to fight them and craft the item.
So from what I see during the Gilgamesh fight Barret does 26500 dmg with lifeblood cannon. But he doesn't have the Genji Gloves equipped on him, is this something this attack breaks the limit when used with 3 atb charges?
@@platterbuss2328 no! Those matches are unlocked after Chapter 12, but they're able to be done in Easy difficulty if you wish so! I think the highest level of them is easy is somewhere like 60? They're a joke in easy, to be fair.
Also, how the heck does anyone Divekick Odin? Whenever I do it, he does Reprisal. Just counters. I can't get past him because I can't avoid his Zantetsuken.
unfettered fury is like bridled strength, except it changes her physical attacks into magical attacks and changes her combo route a bit, her falling ender is now like chi trap. it's pretty cool
You need to either distract him with one of the others and use the menu to give Tifa the command Divekick, or just be quicker on it, I have only had him use it maybe once because I divekick when he turns and then he just vanishes after the second kick.
@@DGEvil-Melon im about to attempt it, edit : took me 3 hours to get right lmao, sephiroth was the only one giving me trouble, i also opted for red 13 as my caster instead of cloud cos of his higher healthpool and sustain, and buffs like watchers' respite and supernal fervor.
I don't understand why square enix is treating us like we are all sado masochist with this game. All I want to do is Platinum so I can move on with my life.

did u change the build at the end of the vid. u start of with magnify + bravery on barrett, but on your build at the end he has no magnify equipped to it
@@Battousaimanslayer At the beginning of each round, he casts a Magnified Bravery & Haste and uses Barret’s Lifesaver skill to siphon any damage Tifa takes into himself. From there, its a matter of building up Tifa’s ATB to the point where she can cast Unrelenting Fury twice, increasing her damage output, and spamming Divekick to deal massive damage.
