Thanks, this guide really helped me clear this battle! However, I do not have any FFIX gear, so I had to substitute the weapons and outfits with ones from the Rebirth & Half Anniversary events, and used Diamond Dust Lv. 6 instead of Cross-Slash.
I just can't quite damge him quickly enough with the team setup that I have that lets me survive lol. Tbh, I watched your EX2 vid today like 5 times. I just don't have precisely what I need, or may need to adjust strategy.
@@Nitelight9 I have an idea that *might* work based on what else I’ve seen of your account, but I don’t wanna backseat game or provide unsolicited advice. Lemme know if you want input!
@@Nitelight9 came back to say I have now conquered EX2 bahamut! That fight is a hell of a stat check haha I hope one day we get EX versions of the other summons
This one is pretty crazy for me but I did finally beat it with: Cloud: Murasame OB10 & Bandaged Sword OB7 Aerith: Fairy Tale OB3 & Sun Umbrella OB5 Sephiroth: Edged Wings OB10 & Kuja's Spirit Blade OB1 My Bandaged Sword was only OB2, but within the last 3 days I somehow pulled another 5. My Tifa is nowhere compared to my Sephiroth, so I had to leave her out as she was not helping with the DPS race at the end. I thought Mega Flare was the follow-up after the Sigil phase, if you could not break it in time, instead, he was hitting me with PATK, so I just ignored it all together and lowered both his PATK/MATK with Flare Star and Debrave's, got fully healed and survived. I tried EX2 with the same method, I thought EX2 was a minor increase of difficulty from EX1 and boy was I wrong. His 2nd Mega Flare was doing around 13k AoE on me. I immediately gave up.
Thank you verry much, It worked for me. The sigils were the fateful moment, ignoring them and boosting myself allowed me to win. On the other hand, I could see that I was taking a long time to win because the bahamut bonuses and my malus were turning bright red ^^.
If you have a 4 or 5 star sigiless Ruin Blow you could use that rather than Uppershot for Tifa's dps. The damage is comparable in % but uses less ATB enabling you to deal the damage faster.
@19bunts I actually tried it again and was finally able to do it after making two small changes. My problem was I had to slow down the animation speed. It was going so fast I wasn't getting enough time to manually put the buffs/debuffs in. If you have the bahamut gear for all three, it's super doable. At the very least, if you have bandaged sword for Cloud, Sunny umbrella with Aerith and Tifa with Tiger fangs, you'll survive the first attack if you get two of their buffs/debuffs in.
@monca1222 all I did wad slow down the animation speed, put the bandaged sword on Cloud, and put Tiger fangs on tifa. I had it on auto and only manually tapped when he was going for megaflare. I beat it thanks to you! I was so close to beating ex2 as well and died with a sliver of life left. Thank you so much!!!
Couldn't really fit them in as a main weapon because I needed the sigil break (diamond) and the debuff (MATK) -- as a sub weapon, they just aren't the best thing I have because I couldn't get them to OB6. Maybe they could have gone in somewhere, but I'm not sure.
@@Nitelight9 what I did for the sigil breaks is decide to get them to as low as I could (1-4 sigils left) with aerith and my 2nd character, then I had cloud get our mdef to high potency to tank the attack. Might be worth experimenting with!
The reason why I don't invest time anymore into this challenges is cause: i go in with 3 dps and then log out when Bahamut does his 1st buff. I resume and all his buff are gone and no mega flare and my 3 dps kill him in 2-3 Minutes with single cure materia This kinda ruins the feel for accomplishments knowing this is possible You could glitch Ramuh already...you even can glitch the new dual summon😂
Yeah, I don't use exploits because it does ruin the accomplishment. But, I also understand that it's sorta hard not to use them if you know they exist.
Just cleared EX1 thanks to your video !! Thanks man !!

I've been waiting for this one, thank you!
I'm sooo happy to hear this!!! You're welcome :)
Congrats on the clear, my man! Looking forward to the EX2 guide :-)

@@jace743 100% bro! I'll happily take and try your advice! Also, feel free to msg me on discord too.
I just beat this one last night and I&B ex1 just now. These fights are so fun man
They are! I spent hours doing this one and didn't even mind!

Let'sssss GOOOOOOO!!!!

Ahhhh…finally did it! Thanks man ! Great guide step by step! The two bomb was a paine …Now Ex2 hahaha

Well done! And yeah, I thought the same thing about EX2 .. but no, it's quiiiite a bit harder. I'm working on that one

Thanks! I was finally able to clear it!!
This got me to beat it. Cheers 🎉
NICEEE!!!! Congrats!

Thanks bro :)
My characters have more hp and more magic Def and are lvl 80. Bahamut does like 13-14k damage on the first megaflare and kills my whole team...
Same, I just don't get it, have the same team. These EX battles are rough
@@monca1222 me either. It's like they beefed up the fight

Hey any reason why you did not use guide gloves?
Couldn't really fit them in as a main weapon because I needed the sigil break (diamond) and the debuff (MATK) -- as a sub weapon, they just aren't the best thing I have because I couldn't get them to OB6. Maybe they could have gone in somewhere, but I'm not sure.

so how about a guide without ff9 stuff equipped?????
I'll consider it!
It would be much better if you clicked every equipment successively/consistently, so we can see the name of everything.
@@Maxim.Nazarenko I'll try to remember to do that in the future!

This kinda ruins the feel for accomplishments knowing this is possible
You could glitch Ramuh already...you even can glitch the new dual summon😂
Yeah, I don't use exploits because it does ruin the accomplishment. But, I also understand that it's sorta hard not to use them if you know they exist.
I feel more like not touching the Game anymore since this is unhealthy
😊
I'm convinced the game just hates me because it just refuses to let me beat this trial. I've tried about 20 different builds and nothing has worked.
I understand how you feel. If you just can't get it, come back to it in a couple weeks. You'll get it.
Same here... 9 different builds on over 10 different teams, just finished my 10th try of the day, and nope.... cant get it.
O try to break the sigil and just cant. Its nuts🥹
Pretty much have to have a diamond sigil break
@@Nitelight9 but even with the bahamut knucles is hard. Crazy! Maybe I have to wait for atb to get full to get that bonus and I am doing it wrong
