I struggled with this A LOT, both the Reapertail and the Mindflayer. I really like using Cait Sith normally and thought I was decent with him... apparantly not. Found this challenge significantly harder than all of the other legendary solos and even the final brutal challenges. Spent days looking looking at, trying out & tweaking various builds and this finally pointed me in the right direction to pull through. Thank you!!! I used weapon Resounding Megaphone with 2x Moogle Decoy, 2x Moogle Sentinel to maximize tanking ability from the moogle. This meant I had one less materia slot to play with. From this build I removed ATB Stagger, MP Up, Strength Up, Elemental + Lightning & Wind. Instead I had Time, Reraise + maxed Magic Efficiency and Magic Up. Key for me was having Chocoking's Cape on top of First Strike and ATB Boost. This meant that I could start the harder battles with Haste, then ATB Boost and Let's Ride and still have 1 ATB available from start. Haste and Skill Master ensured I always had ATB topped up during the battles. HP Up also helps since it gives more room for mistakes. For anyone that might be struggling with Reapertail or Mindflayer: Battle 3 / Reapertail: Do the standard start. Jump away from the moogle and do the dodge + 4 attack combo. Refresh Moogle or Haste as prirority. Whenever you have 2 ATB ready do Blizzara + Fira right after each other. Only do the Fira when you see Blizzara materializing and connecting. Since you generate ATB so quickly you should be able to bring the Reapertail to pressured & staggered state continously from this magic barrage. This should also keep it from going for you instead of the moogle - my main problem with this fight. Battle 5 / Mindflayer: Do the standard start. Jump away from the moogle and do the dodge + 4 attack combo. Apply Reraise - this is for extra safety. Keep refreshing Moogle - it needs to be ALWAYS out, Chakra if needed and keep chipping away at it from afar. Only do actions when at 2 ATB unless emergency. Try to use Lucky Slots if you have the oppurtunity and raise your limit break level. SAVE any limit breaks you have, then use them immedaitely when you see the Mindflayer doing Eldritch Horror. Use MP to reapply Haste or Reraise only. The moogle will tank well so just take it slow, dodge and block attacks and keep your distance. You can bring Poison instead of Reraise to speed things up with Bio x2, but better safe than sorry.
This one is fun...Eventually I learned you can juggle a lot of the mobs just spamming 'Let's Ride' since it does a ground pound AND gives ATB back...so a couple of these fights I just spammed it while laughing my ass off cause all it was was a giant moggle falling crashing to the ground over and over again lol
Nice man! how do you get almost a full atb back after firaga, is that speed demon keychain and some other refund ability? didn't know you could do that.
Im about to delete my game right now…i tried this fight since yesterday. Just tried it another 3 hours tonight and still didnt manage to kill all bosses. Most of the time i don’t even get to the last one and the last time i did he oneshottet me with an ability that he assumebly uses at 30% or so -.- so i didnt know what was coming… something with horror in it’s name. As much as i loved this Game the First weeks i now hate the Grind to platinum. And the worst part is, the hardest fights are still waiting after this…
