Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - EASY WAY to defeat LEGENDARY BOUT: RED XIII vs THE BEASTS 

These guides have taught me that I've been playing some of these characters totally wrong - Red XIII being one of them.

I’ really IMPRESSED how EASY it is with your guides.

If anyone is struggling with Levridon like I was, I realized that hitting it with blizzaga when it does the amp up move results in an insta-stagger. It was a game changer for me…I must’ve fought that damn thing 50 times.

Another fantastic strategy. So simple got it first time with your guide. Other guides, "just parry it". If i was good enough to parry every attack i wouldn't be looking for a guide 😂

You are a legend , wouldn’t even come close to platinum without these videos

What I love about these guides is that I’m learning to use each characters like they are meant to be and not make everyone generic lol

Single handedly helping everyone through the platinum thank you bro

if anyone is following this build but still having trouble regenerating lost HP then replace Enemy Skill Materia with with either Chakra Materia or Healing Materia

Just wanted to say thanks for the guides. I went ahead and was able to complete all my sim challenges using the strategies you've shown in your videos! Ripper work

Can’t wait for the next parts I’ve been literally FLYING through these holy shit…liked and subscribed awaiting the rest from the GOAT

Love the strats. Got me through to this point. Finally beat Rulers of Outer world this morning. Blew Sephiroth to hell with Firaga, bastard was pain, took me 20 or so attempts.

These guides are incredible, I stuck things out using my own methods up to rulers of the outer worlds and your methods have trivialised everything that comes after. :P I owe you a thanks for the incoming platinum trophy.

Was looking for this all day! Fantastic guide Opti! Took me a few attempts to learn how to time the Counterspin move properly but I got it down within a couple of tries. Took me 5 minutes to do this one. Fastest one I've had was Aerith with 3:51 and then Tifa with 4:44. Looking forward to seeing Yuffie and Cait Sith's tomorrow! Not looking forward to the Cait Sith one because I don't like the way he plays at all, so he's always benched for me unless absolutely needed like in the main story or when he's used for your initial guides.

Dear lordy, that Levridon I thought would be the death of me . I am not good with the perfect block and counterspin but after listening careful to your words aboput the Mastidons attacks, he became my training subject before the Levridon. I really wanna thank you becasue REd was a pain to be honest, but patience and your guide here, I really wanna thank you. I learned perfect block thanks to this challenge, if anything, hahah. Cheers mate!

Thank you again!!! One more done 4 left for the trophy!!! The only one I am scared of a bit is bonds of friendship!!! And maybe cait sith legendary....

I cant thank you enough for your guide. It makes platinum hunting so much more enjoyable.

This was dirt easy thanks to your strategy. All I got left for the solos are Yuffie and Cait Sith. The solos seem to be easier than the team ones; much easier to have to only worry about one character and what next steps to take. Rather than have to juggle 3 characters, remember when to switch, and remember what to do with them next.

You're a gentleman and a scholar. I really appreciate this guides; been keeping me sane on the long road to platinum

I've been working through your guides and they're brilliant. I did this on my first attempt with your strategy, thank you!

Thanks for the guide man , but i went on ahead im already done all the VR!! im at 97% now i just need to do the hard mode!! thanks again my brother for the content i will still watch your runs and see what you did! since i finished the last 2 challenge for like 50 mins lol

Holy shit thank you. I can't express my happiness right now for these guides

Thanx again opti Using your guide made it easy again I gotta say that I don't frequently use Red, so I'm not used to his abilities.. In fact I didn't know what counterspin was until today 😂 Awesome guide 👍🏻

Took me a few tries. The Gigantoad was the biggest problem. But this guide helped. Onto Yuffie.

Thankyou for this video! Been waiting for it lol, all your vids have got me this far! :)

Legendary Bouts? More like Legendary Guides! them bouts ain't got shit on Optinoob strats! PS i've literally never subbed to a youtube content creator before but you are my first because your guides are THAT damn good that you deserve way more than 40k subs! There is no one that makes better FF7R boss guides than you out there 🔥

Another great success! I had more trouble with the Bird than the Frog, but once bird brain went down I knew I had it because round 5 is a cakewalk. Thanks brotha!

The 2nd fight was kicking my ass even with this strategy. Switching to Blizzaga even for one attack really helps. Thank you!

Almost every other guide makes you feel like you failed if you haven't mastered perfect block by this point in the game and along comes optinoob to show you how to use just normal blocking to your advantage.

Found the most elite build for this. IMO. I created this: silver collar Certain bracer Enhanced Karmic Cowl Weapon: Ice+magic focus, ice+swift, spirit x 2 Armour: HP ab +ice, MP ab +fire and ice, vitality up x2, luck up, ATB BOOST You can have fun and fight away, if you’re good at blocking you should have some fun with this build. It really allowed for lots of cushion for damage against you. So if you are a pro at the precision block, you should have an easy fun one with this build. Also

That was so easy. Didn’t realise Red could build ATB that quick. Thanks for the guide

I'm embarrassed to say I died with being turned into a frog 1x and then by deciding to go mano a mano with regular strikes 1x....but 3rd time's the charm. Amazing work as always - on to Yuffie for tonight, then that's it for tomorrow. Optinoob GOAT confirmed!

I've never been fond of Red's gameplay but again, dodging around and keeping buffs up is very helpful, i was able to do this one without the genji gloves as well, I replaced steadyfast block w chakra cuz i'm too bad at blocking anyway and i replaced phenix w shiva which was very helpful on the last round. Thanks very much for the help!

I'm on a roll with these guides

Another really simple one, thats two first attempts b2b today Aerith and Red, as always thanks for the simple guide Optinoob!

Took 3 goes but again just unluck with RNG. Th only one I cant do now is cloud. I'm going to go back to cloud now and see if I can get this done! These are ridiculous. Wouldn't be getting through them without you bro!

This one also done after just one try! Of course, I reviewed and followed your strategies. That blocking and then counter spin were really useful for rounds 2, 3, & 4! So, this is the easiest Legendary Bout for me so far then. Thank you again! On to Yuffie vs the Wronged video.

On the toad, I found Siphon Fury very helpful. The airborne attacking avoided some of its attacks.

Finally beat all the simulator today !!!!!!!!! The devs are mental , the last one with Zack was the hardest! 10 very hard boss fights in a row and last one is Odin! Got killed by Odin 4-5 times! Took me whole day to beat it! For me it works with aero- cloud / Zack support ! But thanks to you! Without you i didn’t even passed the rulers of the world! This was the second hardest if you don’t have the synergy and a bit of luck against Sephiroth 😂 Big thank you man ❤

Thanks for another great guide easiest way to do this challenge is follow your video 1st time on to the next

Fabulous guide for Red here. Did it on my first go thanks to you!

Ur video guides are really helpful compared to others ur vids helped me do RE4 hard mode and speedrun

I can’t wait for your guide on Cait Sith, he is by far the hardest character for me to use. I’ve made it all the way to the 5th round in his trial, but I died in two seconds to the Mindflayer’s dang laser beam. I’m looking forward to watching your guide and how you’ll wipe the floor with it!

Thank you yet again for an amazing Guide! I had some problem with the frog in the 3e battle because my hp absorb was on lvl 1. So i exchanged enemy skill for a Chakra materia and that made it so much easier for me.

Red/Nanaki and Cait are the player characters I use the LEAST in Rebirth, and with your strategy, you just made me adapt to the former a little more...

Another great video, this was by far the easiest strategy, beat it first try, I beat Barret, Tifa, Aerith and now Red, which is by far the easiest of the Legendary so far.

Thanks for the guide. Got it on the second try.

Thank you for this guide. I have made it this far with your help. Not sure what I did but messed up a little bit at the end but with the Phoenix summon I was able to beat it.

Protip: Use Blizzaga as soon as the Levridon uses Amp Up, this immediately staggers it and stops it from using Electrify

Cant believe i beat this first try. Ran around the arena for 5 minutes in total because the Emu/Bird enemy used amp up but nevertheless

I took inspiration from your setup but went and changed the Speed plus materia and Magic up materia for Strength Plus and AtkMg which made a higher magic stat. then just kept hammering things with the blizzaga. Cheers once again for a decent build.

“Should do electric discharge”. Does it every time. 😆 Another amazing strat though, thank you!🙏

Seriously. I may have to subscribe to you after u get me through these because you are a genius and you make these fights dumb easy. Alot of guides revolve around perfect parry counters and you don't really use any of that. Died once to bird because I didn't realize how fast electric discharge activates but 2nd go around beat it no problem. Cannot wait for your other guides.

The Fastest of all legendary runs build huhuhu TRULY WOW!!!!! your amazing thank you as usual. Done it on my first try...@Optinoob 😁🤟

Easy! First try with this method! No issues at all and I normally don't have Red in my party. Thank you!

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

That counter spin thing was not something I was aware of. I mostly followed this but I brought some time materia because it's useful fot stopping that annoying bird thing in round 4.

Thank you.. Beat it on my 1st try thanks to this video

Seeing as how there isn’t any healing in this setup except for the Ice - HP Absorption, I chose to drop the Speed Up and replace it with an HP Absorption, which I connected to the Enemy Skill materia. After I did that, I had no issues whatsoever. The extra healing from Plasma Discharge is really helpful in this setup, as opposed to the Solo Tifa setup where she’s barely using her ATB charges and just letting it sit there. I really like that Enemy Skill (Plasma Discharge) - HP Absorption combo. I really beat the shit outta that Great Malboro at the end there lol. There was constantly electricity and Ice exploding everywhere lol. Poor Great Malboro never knew what hit him. Mostly cuz I was behind him the whole time wrecking his shit lmao. Thank you for these videos, Optinoob. Your setups and commentary puts them above other videos, and they have saved me hours of frustration I would’ve no doubt gotten doing these challenges on my own. Keep up the incredible work!

The gigatoad is the most challenging part of this If you can get by that, last 2 rounds aren’t bad Thanks for the guide!

thanks for making another one of these feel like easy mode challenges!

Got tifa and red XIII first try thanks to these guides.

Not that you really need it, because it is so easy already. But you can use plasma discharge and the ice shield from enemy skill to get some auto damage buffs. Even mind blast (to increase stagger) .

Excellent guide! As a nanaki enjoyer, you should be using vengeance mode though. It cuts the fight time massively and makes me so fast you can avoid most of the attacks once it's active and burn them down

Finally i did it! This was hard Thanks for the guide bro!

Thank You!! got it on the first try

When I saw you had to fight a Great Morbol I was worried for a bit but with this build easy first try. Thank you

Got it second try. Thank you.

activating vengeance mode makes you build ATB way more quickly than with Red's normal basic attacks which helps a lot with building it up during staggers.

Done it first try without a problem with this guide.

Wow i was dreading doing reds solo challenge bc i didnt like this playstyle...after 250hrs i finally realized i was playing him wrong omg hes so good and so tanky, boi never takes dmg with all the block counters and skill counters

I actually got way ahead of you last night. Red XIII’s wasn’t bad at all using builds like the ones you did previously. Yuffie’s was almost just easy. Cait Sith’s was a bit time consuming but otherwise fine. Now I’m on Bonds of Friendship with Cloud and Zack and it’s pretty tough. Hoping you get there soon! I’m wanting to finish all of these before my hard run!

~~~Red XIII Materia Loadout~~~ Amethyst Collar, Cetran Bracer, Genji Gloves Fire and Ice-MagFocus, Barrier, Cleansing, Eskill, ATB Boost Ice-HP Absorb, Ice-MP Absorb, Speed Up, Magic Up, First Strike, Steadfast Block Phoenix Enhanced Counterspin, ATB Charge up, AP+20, AP+20 Fight Begins at [1:48]

This was tought but made it through!

Using your strategy, the only one that gave me problems was the toad. In all it took less than half an hour to clean up on this one.

Got it first try using this load out 👍

GOAT these walkthroughs dont fail bro

Just beat Aerith’s challenge with your guide, these are taking me so long to get through but we’re getting there 😭

Great guides so far, looking forward to seeing your guides for bond of friendship and To be hero guides, I tried to look for strategy without parry everything, but still no hope, I am quite bad at parry and also the bahamut wing makes me crazy when it cannot be locked properly to hit and cannot pressure it on time.

Your guide is top notch

From watching your guide i saved a lot of time.

This one I found surprisingly easy compared to the other characters you have to play as for legendary,

Haven't tried yet but the lack of Chilling Claw is astounding. Much like Yuffie for the price of just using a bar you get a free counter that most enemies are weak to in this bout and you gain Vengence off of it I'd vouch for Red's other abilities but eh much like Barret many of the later abilities aren't worth it.

Thanks Opti! Excellent as usual!

Bruh I wrote a comment and it was deleted somehow. Anyway all I wanted to say again thank you as I have seen 6 guides before yours and none was working with me and literally no one thought about using resist for Marlboro U r doing great tests on each battle. Today I will try your yuffie guide and hopefully it will be easy, even though from the video it sounded a bit harder than all of them

Reds fights were all pretty easy, once you know the moves of the enemies, you can use Ribbon 🎀 and Stop on all enemies except for Malboro too. There’s almost no way to lose if you just run around and use Chakra anytime you are a bit low.

Team optinoob! Once again beaten on first try, onto Yuffi vs the wronged

I had no idea what "counterspin" even was until i saw this. Think they could've explained that in the tutorials?

2nd try Awesome guide this! Onto Cait Sith

if anyone wonders and wants to do it before you get the genji gloves like me it works perfectly fine without them i just used Götterdämmerung instead just takes a bit longer but not a problem at all

Easiest challenge for me thus far.

Thank you! The only thing I switched was ice hp absorb to i healing swiftcast bc I wasn’t very good at timing the blocks and counter spin and took too much damage.

Havent seen this one yet and do not yet have platinum but thank you for these videos they make me hopeful still struggling with the cloud one atm 😢

Used Ribbon since I don't have the Genji yet. Thanks for the guide. 😀

Great videos - really need the Cait Sith one, it’s a horrible challenge t

Jesus another great strategy first try

I am having the hardest time getting Red XIII to block. I can maybe successfully block 10% of the time. I am dead after a few attacks from The Bane of my existence The Gigantoad or the next POS in this 5 round annoyance. Red XIII is not a character I used much whilst playing this game so this Simulation is a nightmare for me.

this worked like a charm.

These guides got me through another one! Ez mode.

nice and easy, thanks to your strats

All these vids are just in time!🤙
