Aerith Transcendence Strat Vs 4th Cactuar Crush 4000 Points Final Fantasy VII Rebirth 

Unlike almost every other mini-game, this one and the push-ups mini-game sucked and actually made me put down the controller for a bit.

Elemental-fire combo on her armor made that bomb fight doable, otherwise no idea how youre supposed to get it done

@@joegaudiI pulled it off with constant chrono aegis.

I used Lustrous Shield to block Fireball, then Arcane Ward Magnify Blizzara spam along with Sorcerous Storm once they were both staggered. Took a couple tries though.

Ur using her wrong then. Aerith is one of the strongest characters lol you just gotta build her around her weaknesses, not her natural strengths. Check it: Ur prob using magic boosts and a bunch of spells n just waiting for a Ra or Ga to cast elemental weaknesses. That's functional but wrong...ur spending alot of time just standing and doing nothing, then getting bullied cuz u cant run away. Equip her with Hermes. She doesn't need more magic power or mp, she already has the most lol she needs burst atb potential. And instead of having every spell, give her copies of 1 or 2 spells with multiple linking, then First Strike and ATB Boost. Her radience ward (stacks with arcane ward for x2 spells, PLUS synergy materia if u want) makes her an invincible rock while she drops an unstoppable nuclear bombardment. In other words, she doesn't need to move. Oh and her basic attack is slow because it's a shotgun, so use it like one. She multitargets at mid range. Think of her as a pump action shotty that can call in enough artillery to erase most bosses in one stagger.

I found Aerith easier than Yuffie 3.

You know right before I went inside I thought to myself "Watch they make us use Aerith the most annoying one". Times like this I wish I was wrong.

This really helped thankyou so much

Damn, I literally thought this after finishing the 4th trial. And now that I know about Transcendence I might try to go for the Dark Matter but damn...

Very helpful! Soul drain worked perfectly as well as sorcerous storm (for the rarer ones)

Update for anyone want to get party level to 10 and max item craft, you need dark matter from the standard cactuar mini game, and 5exp pt from the hard cactuar mini game. To get 6k+ point with aerith, you need to know how to use her unique ability "transcendant" or something i dont know english well. But that ability need to prioritize cast whenever you have 1 ATB and it wil automatically enhance over time, when it full, 1 cast from it can do 70-80% dmg to big cactuar or kill them, and during the time it auto charge, aerith basic attack enhanced as well. And block the bomb wont - points(in case of bad luck, get chain hit by bomb could get up to 3 hit), it take me about 2h to get all party exp from yuffie and aerith for hard cactuar mini game.

it helps me a lot thanks you so much for the tip :) 😊😊😊

agreed.

Damn.. I thought I was the only one. I forgot the main plot because of how many mini games in the side quest just to get good items/weapons and the main game where they force you to play mini games to progress the story

Mystifying game design. I was rolling my eyes more than I was having a good time.

Because Aerith is weak as f..... Same problem here!

Follow this and you will easily steamroll it: Never chase the cactuars. Melee the green L2 the white R2 the dark and orange Storm, soul drain, transcendence the big guy.

@@SonofStormblessed Okay, yeah, well i meant it as a tip, not a law of the universe :) But sure, there's a few exceptions, but i got it 2nd try by just doing the above + some reactionary thinking.

You can check my comment above, the hard mini game also increase party exp by 5 per game. In case you want pt level 10, it is unavoidable :(

@@NhanNguyen-ex9hy I was able to do it. Haven't tried hard mode yet.

Shadow Ward Vs Darktuars, Luminous Vs Lightuars

Party Level 8 in the skill tree

No problem, thanks for watching. It is pretty good in a few other random scenarios or if you need a source of non elemental damage and don't have a time constraint; not sure how good the buff is (when it's active increases your magic attack and lowers your magic defense)

It's one of the final unlocks on the folio grid for Aerith, just before her level 3 limit break unlock

@@EJ_Crough ty for the reply

Reprieve from the weapon, Transcendence is also a buff when active

@@Fredchuckdave ahh I see. So not really necessary. I gave her the haste boots😁. It took me some time to figure out that you can smack the light and dark cactuar with a physical attack so that they lose their magicward buff.🙈 This saved me a good amount of time, cause i always waited till the buff depleted.😅

You alternate Yuffie and Aerith for these, I think its 1st and 3rd are Yuffie and 2nd and 4th are Aerith

It's so easy with Yuffie. Use Windstorm ability and a weapon that increases Wind damage

The point goes way over your head

They're given to you just for this minigame. L2 to activate luminous, R2 to activate shadow. It's in the tutorial for it.

I just played this part it's 100 percent a rip off of Laid to Rest, they use the same breakdown rhythm

@@Fredchuckdave thank you very much!

@@raykaworu No problem, thanks for watching!

Party Level 8 in the skill tree

All the minigames are either timed or severely dexterity dependent.... The core game is great but the minigames have been an extreme chore for me because of finger problems, and simply gave up on some of them.

@@melanp4698this mini game isn’t dexterity dependent. It’s just bad game design. No one in their right mind will call this mini game fun. It’s a chore to get the dark matter. It’s a requirement to get lvl 16 Transmutation. Someone in SE hit their head very hard before making this.

@@Bairyhalls47 I said they're EITHER timed or dexterity based :) And yes i gave up on getting those last 6 Dark Matter, i will never be able to beat the Dolphin game. And i agree, they overdid it with the minigames, but at least the core game was good.

@@melanp4698 Dolphin is pretty easy, once you memorise the course and always on nitro, some obstacles near the end need to be aware of, but not that hard. 3-4 tries and you get it. What was ridiculously hard is latest races in chocobo silver cup (lol, I managed to complete with 1st place a gold championship on 1st try, but not the damned previous courses in silver), last course for the air chocobo mini-game (especially landing at the end with perfect score with those rings out of places) and Sephiroth in 3D Brawler. The latter was the worst, my reflexes got rusty with age. You not only need to memorise all patterns and animations but also do it lightning fast. BECAUSE if you counter it, but late, you're only block his attack which results in getting him an LB boost and you are not progressing with kicking him, he's only opens after dozen succesful hits or fully evaded fast red combo -- it's almost like hittng just frames in fightning game, well, but that RPG, lol). You're failed on hits, combos or only blocked him? He'll get that sweet LB boost and wreck you soon. Wasted around 5+ hours on it alone. I've done them all and feeling burned out on game. Gonna finish the story (I'm literally enjoying every second of it after that bad chores) and play something other for a while. Maybe I'm not even bother to complete it 100% like Remake and Yuffie DLC which was ten times chiller. After all those mini-games? Never again. In Part 3 I'll do only the battle stuff. Screw this shit. Quantity over quality. At least TEST your stuff, ffs! I know it's INTENDED to be hard. I don't argue, the battle sim stuff and muscleman bouts are fair challenge where you need to figure tactics and do builds + appropriate situations thinking. The battle system is great. The Queen's Blood are AMAZING. And I love the game but majority of those mini-games are abysmal. Guys who was in charge of that need to go study more on the game design. I wonder if they even played it and got high score.

@@melanp4698Are you kidding? The dolphin minigame is probably the easiest out of all. Or at least among the easiest.

Minigames are fine just don't need 75 of them when you could have 10 good ones instead

I just couldnt stand how everytime you turn around there was a stupid mini game, and some mandatory. I agree though it should be shortened down to the amount of minigames. If I remember corretly Remake didnt have this many.​@Fredchuckdave
