Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - EASY WAY to defeat LEGENDARY BOUT: BARRET vs THE COLOSSI 

Please don't apologize for the support messages at the beginning. They are helping you keep doing what you're doing. If I could afford to support I would - these have been incredible for helping me clear these. Thank you for what you do.

By the way, I really appreciate that you use skills via the menu instead of just binding everything to the quick use buttons. It makes it easier to see what is going on so I don't have to pause the video if i am unsure what it going on.

I like that you have just accepted it and called it steelforeskin lol

"Steelforeskin" check out his guide on the Rulers of the Outer Worlds for that reference.

There was no way i would've beaten even half of the brutal and legendary challenges without ur guides 😂

Stuck on that damn turtle after like 10 attempts. Waltzed through the entire challenge first try with your guide. 10/10 as always.

Quick tip: using the two ATB bar Point Blank ability does a lot more damage than maximum fury for those wanting to take out the enemies even quicker

I had to modify this one because my timing just sucks on the turtle. I ended up going with fafnir rifle instead of Gatling gun, linked fire and ice elemental to it, fire elemental armor, then fire linked to magic efficiency, mp absorb, and hp absorb, then first strike, magic up, enemy skill, and atb boost. You can pretty much spam Fira that way (which heals you) and stay at full mp. The interesting thing about that last fight is the hell rider uses reflect, so just cast fire or Fira when you need heals (keep in mind your mp will deplete eventually here because you’re not doing damage). Use physical attacks to eventually stagger him and save your limit breaks and/or ice magic for that time.

So for anyone still struggling with the turtle I suggest putting Hp absorb instead of mp absorb since we only use mp on round 4, also to increase your defense i put 2 vitality up instead of mp up. Highly recommend using these, i won on first try!

Thanks man, your guides have been a life safer for hard mode. If anyone is having problems against in round 4 like I did, I traded Chakra for ATB Boost for this challenge and it helped a ton against the turtle cause I was able to immediately use Fira the Steel Skin at the start. If you need health against Hell Rider II, then take advantage of his reflect by using Fira to heal you instead of Chakra.

I decided to try the magic way - worked wonders - was struggling before. Build: Materia: Weapon: Fenrir rifle (enhanced elements, limit break +10%, enhanced oc, attack +20) Elemental+Fire&Ice, Magic Focus + Fire, Magic up, STR up Armor: Cetran Bracer Elemental + Fire, Magic Focus + Fire, MP absorb + Fire, Chakra, Enemy skill. Basically limit break + OC the first round Second phase: turbulant spirit, steelskin. Then just spam attack/abilities Third: eyes closed with the absorb.. Fourth: Turbulant, fira, overcharge, limit, firaga, repeat Fifth: Basically the same tactics

Another challenge breezed through. Sorry that I comment on literally every video, but these guides of yours are a godsend.

Oh man I'm so glad you mentioned having guides for Remake as well. These guides have REALLY helped me towards Rebirth Plat. Only 8 more Legendary Sim fights. I never got Plat for Remake (never even did Hard Mode for Remake). So I plan to go back and do that after Rebirth Plat. You're awesome. Thanks for all the hard work.

Great guide as always. Because I suck at perfect blocking I dropped Precision Defense Focus and added HP Absorb (and moved HP Absorb + Enemy Skill to a linked slot). I then cast Plasma Discharge after Steel(fore)skin in the rotation each fight. It didn't do much for the turtle (as it tends to stay our of range) but on the others I was getting heals constantly.

Dude you are a God for making these guides. I struggled so hard with the brutal challenges and I thought these would be the same. But your setups have actually made them fun and engaging and I love it. Thank you!

And there i was thinking that once rulers of the outers worlds was done having gotterdmung accessory would make my life easier the rest of the game, but no. Thanks for the great guides, would not been possible without your help

Dude you been making these boss fights so easy, plat is within my reach now

Another excellent guide! I would mention that Bravery from Enemy Skill really helps smooth out the Adamantoise fight

Thank you for another excellent guide! One step closer to that Platinum.

Can't wait for the guide to Tifa's challenge and the rest of the gang! Your methods are the best!

Once I got into a rhythm with the Adamantoise, this was easy. Now I remember why I mained Barret in Remake!

I didn't block anything and still got it done first try! and my materia are not levelled! Amazing!!! Thank you!!! :) can't wait to finish all the challenges!!! One more step towards the platinum!!!!

Finally beat the brutal challenges!! First legendary challenge done too! These guides really do help

Amazing guide again. Your method for the turtle made it so easy. I somehow managed to get a crazy amount of perfect parries in the last fight, but I'm glad I saw you take those hits so it wasn't as threatening. Perfect guide again mate!

First try with this guide. Excellent and efficient guide for this Bout - amazing as always!

Using your strategy, I took 3 hours to get through this one. The only hiccup for me was the adamantoid in round 4. He killed me over and over again. My first time killing adamantoid, I made sure not to need to again by winning round 5, 1st time.

Dude your guides all the best, easy to understand and easy to apply, thank you so much, rulers of the outer world and cloud solo was so easy wuth your help, lets see the barret try tomorrow 😊

Hi. I just subscribed. I just wanted to let you know that your tutorial vids are far and away the best that I have found, so, thank you. You are detailed and precise without rambling, and, your builds and strategies don't require learning crazy mechanics that are unintuitive and take a long time for me to get the hang of how they work. I wish I found you sooner, because, I struggled for two days to get through most of the brutal challenges. Then, I hit a wall, and when searching for guidance, most of the vids I found didn't really help. Your vids got me through the rest with relative ease and far less time than my previous experiences. Now, I'm working on the solo challenges, and, so far, they are a breeze thanks to you. Thank you for sparing me from all the headaches, frustration, and time I would be spending without your help. I'd eventually get through it on my own with just sheer persistence, trial and error, and experimentation. However, my patience has worn thin, and, I found myself becoming frustrated far quicker than I usually do. You've relieved much of that, and, I am grateful. 👍

Another challenge down, thanks for the amazing guide! Crazy that after all those tough Brutal Callenges & Cloud's, this was a one-timer! Great to be stress-free. As I suck at timing blocks, I also subbed out Precision Block, and went with HP Absorb + Enemy Skill, and used Plasma Discharge after Steel(Fore)skin in the rotation. Amazing work as always! On to Tifa this weekend.....

Great guide again, many thanks. First three rounds were an absolute cake walk. Round 4 was tricky but got past it once I'd got a good rhythm going. Final boss took two attempts but far easier than the Adamtoise for sure!

You can also use lifesaver to boost ur Health by 1000

Amaizing work once again, couldnt have made it so far without your guides...even struggled on Rulers of the outer worlds for like 2 hours but i got trough in the end. Cant wait to get all these done.

Yep, can confirm. Elemental materia damage uses Str as its modifier.

That Moss-Grown monstrosity is such a pain in the ass to get through! It's a total Bullet Sponge 🧽 🐢 that hits incredibly hard.

if you use chakra twice immediately you get the full heal from both casts, which gets bak 80% missing hp. It's pretty useful.

With this build you can cast fire on hell rider 2 while reflect is up to gain some health back. More potent than chakra

I swear I waited the whole Day for your guides. Chadley is the Final piece I need for the platinum I guess you will be my best heller for that thank you mate❤

I first tried this. Awesome build as always. Had the most trouble with the turtle, but it wasn't close any time. My last fight was unusual clean for my standards. I'm so glad that all enemies only aim for Barret's foreskin otherwise we would have a much harder time

Bro did this first try THANK YOU STEELFORESKIN

Much easier than Cloud’s! Thanks for the guide 👍

Thanks for this nice guide. I got it on the first try.

Splendid guide, got it on the first try unlike the others (but Barrett's kit was one I've always favored).

~~~Barret's Materia Loudout ~~~ Gatling Gun, Cetran Bracer, Gotterdammerung Fire and Ice-Elemental, Fire-MP Absorb, ESkill, Chakra Fire-Elemental, First Strike, Strength up, Precision Block, Steadfast Block, HP up, MP up Odin Massive Recharge, Overcharge prot, Mag AP+20, AP+20 Fight Begins at [2:01]

If you're having trouble with MP for healing and to cast fira, I highly recommend using the barrage blaster weapon, as I believe that's the only weapon that has the trade-off weapon skill, which recovers MP from taking enough damage. About every 330 damage you take recovers 1 MP, but each individual hit has to deal at least 330 damage otherwise it will not recover MP. So if you take 660 you'll heal 2 MP at once, and 990 damage will heal 3 MP.

Always fascinating how people from other countries pronounce these crazy names. I love “Jigunt Bomb” lol and also ty so much for these videos. They’re so helpful ❤️ Edit: If I can contribute anything I’d say using sonic boom every now and then is pretty cool. Boosts your defense and strength even more.

Although it took about 2 hours of trying, I was able to finally beat this Legendary Bout for Barret thanks to your guide. I really had to get used to the Adamantoise attacks to be able to block these to build ATB. Then I just followed your instructions to do Fira whenever the Adamantoise is not pressured then go from there. I wasn't as worried or stressed for this challenge compared to the Brutal Challenges specially the last one. In any case, on to Tifa's challenge. Will review your videos first and then follow the script! And once again, THANK YOU!

Just did this challenge first try after watching the guide, thank you

Thanks for your help with your videos...keep it up Opti!! These guides are extremely helpful...sorry for spamming to every of your guides but its incredible how good it works. :D

YES!!!! done it again in my 3rd attempt. That Adamantoise is super beefy on his ATB gauge thingy and per attacks but no problem with the last Hell Rider II . Anyways as usual a bunch of thanks to this quick and straight forward video guide (same as the other previous video guides as well of course). Alright on the next.... @Optinoob

Following your guides makes me happy.

Got it first try with this strategy! Thank you so much!

Your video is amazing. Easy to follow and helped me get through this challenge in no time.

If you don’t have the gotterdammerung yet, the transference module works with this strategy too.

This was much easier than Cloud's... got it in two (would be one, but you know, I suck at things). Thanks for the guide!

This looked A LOT easier than Clouds legendary bout but I redid this one so many more times! I actually had a tough time with the last guy! And I don't have Gammeraung accessory thingy (I know I spelled it wrong lol) Your guides are exceptional! Next up: Tifa!

That turtle was annoying and wild. I changed the build by putting HP absorb instead of MP and then I used STOP and then I summoned PHEONIX and used reraise TWICE LOL. I had such a hard time but then beat the last enemy first try!!!! GO FIGURE LOL

You’ve done it once again! On to Tifa vs the Martialist!

Once again a great guide This one is so easy compared to the 3 last one hahaha, it feels so good after 1 hour of tries on Brutal Six and Cloud

I don't know what to say, you're just amazing. Thank you so much for these guides.

I booked marked all of these guides and the playlist. I don’t have the patience to do all of these bouts in 1 sitting. So I do 1-2 and then I play some Octopath Traveler 2.

Thanks first try! Loved just standing around and shooting because you are right his movement is too slow.

idk why im losing MP faster with the turtle fight, until i swapped 2 defense materia with fire + magic efficiency materia to reduce fire cost, then beat the challenge in 1 go. thanks for the great guide~~😍

Wow this was so easy with this guide first try on to the next getting closer now to hell on earth

You did it again! I watched over 10 different guides for this fight that didn’t help and come here to get past that turtle!

Maaan thank you! Just did this first try thanks to you 🤘🏻❤️ keep doing the good work! So grateful

Thanks for this. I had to make some changes to the materia and instead of Chakra I had cure. Round 4 was still wiping me out. An instead of precision dodge I had magic up. 😊

All these guides are honestly god tier, the strategies used are simple and effective, i honestly wish i had these when i first did them, they're so much easier to use. Don't suppose you'd be willing to put together a setup for the final bossess on Hard, from lifeclinger onwards? It's a real gauntlet and requires everyone, so standard three party setups don't work quite as well and you need to spread out all the good stuff depending on what character fights what.

I tried cloud and tifa but i need to level up some materia and practice more so i frist try this to feel good about myself lmao keep up the good work!

Thank you again! I am not very good at blocking so I switched to barrage blaster little less damage and swapped out chakra and enemy skill for healing plus swiftcast. It has less damage but also has overcharge protection but also has trade off so when I was getting slapped around I was getting my mp back and healing for full health. This was helpful because while it was nice to try the double chakra thing it was hard to sometimes generate the full atb being low in health. For the turtle using turbulent spirit while it’s a short lived one time ability was useful for atb generation to regularly pressure. On to your next video!

After cloud rush Barret was sooooo easy. First try with your build thanks a lot :)

You weren't lying, Gottamerung really makes things much easier. Thank God I don't have to do Rulers of the Outer Worlds again.

Nice chill one tanking the bad guys, first time done.

Wow, first try. Incredible guide yet again.

BARRET DONE. I'm actually having fun with these now.

This seems so much easier then rulers of the outer worlds, which I am currently stuck on. Tried your method for like 10 hours so far and just can't seem to beat it.

You're the goat! Thank you

I’d like to know how many hours you’ve clocked to get the right build. The annoying bit is it doesn’t tell you which enemies you’ll actually fight, that’s where all the trial and error of getting the right build takes up major time

Great guide. Strategy works an absolute treat for me.

The steelforskin is back! 😂 I love you Opti lol. After you guide me through this platinum I might attempt you DMC5 plat walkthrough, but I'm not sure if I'm good enough. Does it require a lot of skill or is it mostly you figuring out easy methods for noobs like me?

hello i wanted to say that i found your channel while looking for a guide for resident evil 0 leech mode! thank you alot! gonna tackle soon both ff remakes ;D

So used to you saying “Steel Foreskin” now that I have to remember that it’s not the actual ability’s name 😂

Your vídeos are amazing. Been have helpful to me 💪🏻

Worked great thanks!! Was struggling until I watched this 😂 😢

again great guide, thanks for your hard work, im wondering how difficult it will be to do last fight with sephirot in last chapter? kind of scared about that :D PS I manage to do all this challenges by myself but your methods are godly compering to my kills :D

This guys content is so good i first tried this lol with this guide

Thank u thank u thank u Thank u Thank u thank u thank u Thank u Thank u thank u thank u Thank u cuz one thank u is not enough if some guy like me could do it then anyone can do it thanks for the easy guide keep it up m8

I just couldn't beat the Moss-Grown Adamantoise, no matter what I did, so I decided to switch out Chakra for Healing and use Cura if I got low, beat him first time after doing that, beat Hell Rider II easily also, only had to use Healing once. I don't know why Chakra didn't work for me, maybe I needed more health than it gave. Oh I also Subscribed.

Turtle slowed me down great guide again. A few goes and I had it thnx again 👍

Great stuff man time saver. 🎉🎉🎉gained a fan

Got it one go. Thank you so much

Got through first time, thank you Opti! This was much easier than Cloud's! Onto Tifa's!

For Barret Swap Enemy Skill Materia for Time Materia and use Phoenix as Summon. Rearaise helped me to finish of this Turtle.

Ok I have a problem no one is mentioning in the chat. When I pressure the turtle with fire he keeps charging at me. I’m not good with timing so I don’t block. What is a solution. He kills me before I even have a chance to stagger him. His charges take nearly 2000 hp

all your guides are great and has earned a sub :)

Okay, a hard mode combat simulator challenge build with a DEFAULT weapon? I find that surprising.

This was by far the easiest one so far. The only thing i replaced was the gotterdammerung for the space ranger medal of honor for the extra strength and magic and the hp up for magic up.

Thanks! Got it using your strat. The turtle can go straight to turtle hell. 🐢🔥

Why does my AI seem to be more aggressive at the turtle. I have been following this guide for this exact build and for some reason, the turd doesn’t become more staggered. It waits for me to struggle at the last bit. I don’t get any gains at all

Got it first try with this strat and setup!

Another great strategy!
