It's one thing to just beat it. I can't imagine the time it takes to find the path of least resistance that anyone can follow along with. Doing the good work over here.
Anybody reading this, give this man support! Literally the best RU-vidr for guides and trust me, I've searched this site for the best guides. Opti, as always thanks for your hard work, man.
I have played the original, remake, reunion, and now this. Every damn time I play a game from this universe i always forget that elemental on ARMOR triggers its defense capabilities. I usually quip it with weapons and wonder why it doesn't work in my game. lol
I’m currently on hard mode and just beat this battle and it seems I did it the hard way. I haven’t come across magic focus or swift so unless I’ve missed something I’ve never heard of those materia! I need to find them
Man, it took me WAY too long to learn the joys of elemental materia. It would have helped so much on this fight bit i jist used the trees to avoid the worst of the midgardsormr's attacks
Wow, got my ass handed to me a bunch of times. Followed your advice and it was a cake walk. Don't need the genji gloves or the third elemental materia on Barrett
Can someone help me understand weapon ability? I can only use Prime Mode if I have umbrella Blade equipped. Why doesn't it come up when I have the Rune Blade?
@@Optinooby got it! I was able to beat it by a hair without using Prime Mode. But everything else was great! I was immune to some of its attacks. Lol thank you!
I thought this was going to be a helpful guide to defeating the boss for the first time on hardmode.Only to find out you had to have beaten him before on hardmode to get the genji glove from another boss fight drop for a sinister quetzalgiat talon and a slimy malboro tendril, as they only drop from an enemy in hard mode only . Found that out after trying to get it unlocked through the item transmuter, was grinding for hours for craft lv 16. AH WELL 😅.
@Optinooby On some website, for how to get these two parts im missing to crafting the genji glove. Apparently, they only drop from certain enemy in hardmode. Maybe it was lying to me lol. Though if it is true, i could just skip to the zone level of the beast in hardmode to claim it i guess.
@@TheLusionest Its true, they are found in hard mode, but it doesn't say anything there about progressing the story in hard mode. You load a chapter on hard mode and then warp to what you need
They ruined a otherwise amazing game with these dumb boss fights. Literally every boss has instakill abilities. You literally have to change materia for every fight. It's actually become a very tedious game.
@@topfranluis1 You can get it before doing any hard chapters, just load one up and warp around. Dont think you can warp around though in chapter 2 specifically so you may be right
