Ngl most of these these bosses took me 1 or 2 attempts. 1st was just to assess and see the moveset. The 2nd was making the right party to maximize stagger and damage
Any summons from Phoenix on is hard to beat. I have got all the shrines to fight the weakest and they r still far too strong. I haven't fought gilgamesh but sephiroth is the worst. I'm at the airing cloud part and always close to beating him til he uses octslash then smiles at the end. I even added revival earrings for arith just to find out he cancels them out when he traps u in that vortex.
From the guide I watched he only uses it when you take a certain amount of damage. So I guess use synergy attacks which pulls your teammates to your location avoiding odins hits?
I mean if you follow what the assess tells you to do, it's actually pretty easy. I completed it one power level down and no one in my party even came close to death the entire fight. Just reduce his defense and his atk, it's a done deal. Just soon as debuff falls off, just reapply. Fight wasn't hard at all after that
That’s not true, just learn how to block and use ATB commands on him. Maybe put haste for good measure. He’ll be pressured and then ya can fire away at him
It would be cool if his limit gauge works differently, and fills mega slowly-- and when it finally fills, he just transforms and you work him like a Summon-- and he's mega strong. Wont happen, but it would be dope
@@romo_lampkin I doubt squenix will do that. they will find a way to nerf him, since the party should be balanced or else no one will play the other characters anymore. lol but i get you. it wont hurt the game by putting one OP character in.
that rufus fight almost made me break my controller considering it was already right after 2 other boss fights back to back. imo it was the most frustrating up there with sephiroth
On hard mode, when you see “Reload” its already too late. Its best to just Triple Slash him after you evade/block his special attacks. Best when he tries to melee you. Darkstar is manageable because Punisher parry owns him. It may be easier to find pressure Rufus by just parrying his dog.
Yeah, #%$& Rufus. I mean, sure you can hit him when it says relaod, but still. He was just a pain in the ass, and the fight drug on longer than it needed to.
Agree. Sephiroth is easier because he telegraphs his attacks better albeit he barely gives you an opening to attack him so you’ll need counter him only after his flurry combos.
Bahamut Arisen is an odd choice for this video over Odin who is much harder. I beat Bahamut Arisen first try at full strength which I wasn't expecting given how tough Bahamut was in the first game. But they gave you a really easy way to pressure Bahamut Arisen by use of synergy skills. Odin on the other hand...that one took many attempts lol.
@@mel-el5862 Yes, but you must admit this is a tougher thing to do than what Bahamut Arisen requires. He's super easy by comparison. I did him at full power when getting to Nibelheim so that didn't help but it took a few hours and aside from blocking/countering I found that I wasn't being aggressive enough with the other characters. Doesn't help that assess info is misleading.
You can manipulate how strong Crimson Breath will be (the level of the attack is determined on how much you have crippled it's chest), unless you play on hard it will always be level 3 no matter what you do which makes the boss fight a lot more annoying.
Honorable Mentions: *The Summon Duos -Titan and Bahamut Arisen, Phoenix and Kujata, and Odin and Alexander all must be defeated before facing Gilgamesh. It's probably best to do this on new game plus because these guys are BRUTAL! *Jenova Lifeclinger -The penultimate boss is unrelentingly aggressive, firing off lasers like they're going out of fashion. Oh, and your party selection is locked to specific members. *Odin -You better be ready to dodge or block everything he throws at you. If he nails you too many times, he'll use Zantetsuken out of boredom and wipe out the entire party in one fell swoop. *Roche (Final Fight) -After the sheer pain that was the Galian Beast, Roche comes back with an upgrade. And BOY does it show!
Bruh swear I struggled the most with Roche took me like 15 times before I got it down to stagger him blocking his attacks, once I got it down I did the same with Rufus
For king zu this how i handle it always with with cloud and pair it with tifa aeirth yufie cause syinergy skill with blade but problem i had is with targeting those wings and found u can target it while on pause and 2 time use limit break 3 lvl with cloud limit sypjon is crazy on one charcter equip gotenburg and just absorb it with limit syphon
I screwed up in the last part of the Sephiroth gauntlet. I would've had Sephiroth dead with one more ability but I instead decided to use the synergy skill into his Octaslash to BM him and then learned the hard way that synergy attacks could be interrupted.
I just beat it yesterday at 112 hours. The over complicated ending had me drop from 9.5/10 to 8.5/10. Definitely deserves multiple awards but maybe not goty
It took me so many attempts to beat Odin being able to land two lucky level2 limit breaks while being staggered. Only to realize that now I have to fight Odin + Alexander. I didn’t even make an attempt lol
I don't know if I'm the only one but when it comes to bosses, it really becomes harder for me when you are required to use only one character. I just can't get used to not utilizing an entire party.
Honestly I died more to Yin and Yang than any other boss in the game but that was because I was still getting used to playing Cait and it’s difficult with no team support.
Rulers of the Outer Worlds was a special hell for me. The hardest of the VR challenges for me. Bonds of Friendship didn’t even give me that hard a time. Virtual Sephiroth after Gilgamesh was just punishment.
Odin was the most difficult boss for me, even after beating all the shrines and fighting the weakest version of him possible, I would get instakilled by his Zantetsuken attack and start over until I finally beat him.
I agree on this. Taking on Bahamut Arisen, I died maybe once during the encounter to acquire his Materia, but for Odin I died multiple times, even with gear that prevented insta-death.
Odin only uses Zansetsuken if you get hit a couple of times from his other attacks be more attentive next time and try to stagger as fast as possible with Tifa and he'll be much easier i gotta say unless you count a spesificic two man team simulation Odin+Alexander was the boss i actually struggled the most with in the normal/dynamic playthrough since each required totally different approaches
Yes Access on Odin explains the whole thing. He basically doesn't want to be bored. You need to use AP commands and dodge his attacks. If you bore him he'll 1 shot you.
The solo Cait Sith boss fight is the hardest for me. I don't know who scaled the game but most enemies during Cait Sith's solo level hits too freaking hard.
Gi Nattak boss has a massive weakness you just use powerful healing magic or items on him as his a undead enemy so dose massive damage instead you could kill him out right with a phoenix down in FF7
Odin was hard as hell, but BY FAR the most annoying battle was the double Test 0 fight if you decided to challenge then getting to Corel Prison for the first time. You were underleveled, and sleep only does so much against the second one. Constant stun locks, moves that are not announced or telegraphed and the unblockable biting was just outright absurd to deal with. Hard mode was even more painful.
10. Just use Maximum Fury to decimate his junk tentacles when he creates them. 7. Even more so if you want to get his crown. You need to use Steal ON THE CROWN when it falls off before the king puts it back on. 5. And somehow, Odin is even harder because of his Zantetsuken attack, which will instakill your entire party if he lands too many attacks. 4. This was the most frustrating fight to cap off an already frustrating part of the game. This is due to Cait Sith's throwing arc not stretching far enough. Plus, Cait Sith works best as a support unit, not a fighter. 3. Just like in Remake, Rufus will only be vulnerable to damage while he's reloading. So you REALLY gotta pay attention. 2. Not to mention, before you even fight Gilgamesh, you have to take on 3 BRUTAL duo bosses against the summons you've acquired. I recommend saving him for new game plus.
Some people still haven’t played, come on with putting the final boss in the thumbnail. I was surprised as hell they used that this early instead of the very very end like normal.
None of these bosses were hard at all except for the Odin summon lmao can't believe Dyne is considered hard that Sephiroth 3D Brawler minigame is no joke tho
Gi Nattak was so infuriating because I killed him, but right as the cutscene began to play out after his defeat, my timer hit zero and my happiness turned to complete sour candy when the screen said “game over”
My top 10 required for Platinum Trophy: 1. "Bonds of Friendship" Legendary Odin 2. "Rulers of the Outer Worlds" Virtual Sephiroth 3. Rufus - Hard Mode 4. "Rulers of the Outer Worlds" Brutal Gilgamesh 5. 3D Brawler Sephiroth 6. Red Dragon - Hard Mode 7. Gilgamesh 8. Dyne - Hard Mode 9. "Hellions’ Intonement" - Tonberry King 10. Midgardsormr - Hard Mode
I platinumed the game, and the 2 hardest bosses are easily Rufus on hard mode, and Odin in the legendary challenges. You need to learn attack patterns for these guys, everything else can be cheesed with magic builds, stop and Brumal spam. Virtual Sephiroth is an honorable mention, can be defeated with magic build/brumal spam, but you need to be fast to get the setup started, else you die.
Every single fight in this list has a fairly simple counter to them, or just using basic skills like blocking can make them quite straight forward. Dyne, vincent and the summon duos are difficult, but nothing in this game stands up to rufus in difficulty. I decided not to even try hard mode because of that fight. Bizzaro sephiroth isnt difficult at all, just long to become frustrating when you get your ass beat by actual sephiroth. The most difficult boss in this game is the menu where it says 'Continue from this last fight' 'Continue from before this battle' 'Continue from last checkpoint'
In terms of actual fighting, I'd say Rufus was truly the hardest. I hate him so much😭 he already beat me up in remake, he just HAD to do it in rebirth, the way my eyes widened in horror when I realized I had to fight him again😭😭
The Tomberry King is actually quite easy if you know how to counter his Death Knife attack. Just give Cloud the accessory that makes him immune to Death attacks and bring long range party members like Barret and Aerith. Cloud takes the brunt of the attacks and kills whatever Tomberrys that show up and with the accessory none of the king's attacks will one shot him. Then it's a matter of keeping Cloud's health up and the King will fall.
I haven’t obtained Odin because of that Zantetsuken. Dyne was a pain in the ass and honestly speaking, a lot of the boss fights in Rebirth are goddamn difficult if you don’t have a good specific strategy for every one of them. You can’t rely that much on mashing that square button.
Heads up, putting Bizarro Sephiroth in the thumbnail less than a month after the game released was a really shitty thing to do to OG fans. Just wanted to come back to this vid and let you know…..
I think the Tonberry king is only difficult if you don’t use Yuffie. You can just use her range attack and spam basic attack against him and his minions. Takes a while, but as long as you dodge his range hits, there’s almost zero danger. Just use a Phoenix Down if he manages to hit one of your non controlled characters.
@@ronintheyorky4426 i think that one was cake haha. Funny how different playstyles of people can affect difficulty. Are you more of a melee fighter or spells?
OK! Right off the bat MojoPlays goes for DYNE at Number 10... OH GOD YEAH! Took me a couple of tries as he is HARD AS NAILS!!! And... WOW! One of the BEST Changes that Square Enix made! The Battle with Dyne was always heartbreaking even in the OG Game... But this is clearly a fight against a man suffering PTSD and YOU FEEL IT!!!! I have no shame admitting that by the end, I was Bawling my eyes out!!! Terror of the Deep... Yeah, HARD! Its a very tactical fight... GI Nattack, Amazingly - I found him not so hard as I expected!!! In fact I found his Minions harder than he was... Tonberry King - This was the fight I was Genuinely Dreading!!! I avoided it for a long time... But as I wanted to finish each region before moving forwards I went for it... And, It was STUNNIGLY EASY! I was Genuinely surprised!!! Maybe I had levelled too far... But I did not struggle here at all! Specimen H1204 and Crimson Mare... NO! I still have nightmares about this pair!!! Bahumut Arisen - Going to be honest... Scares me! I have not even tried yet!!! Galian Beast - The name says it all... While I beat it first time... GOD It did not go down easy!!! Rufus - He is a cheap little shit! And yeah... HARD!!! Again, I beat him first time... But it was not easy!!! And I had been levelling as I wanted my Time Materia Boosted up... Gilgamesh - Not faced him yet... LOL! Took me long enough to unlock him! Cactaur Crush 4 is a Pain in the backside!!! Sepiroth Reborn - Not got there yet... But come on, Its THYE MAIN MAN! OF COURSE!!!! THAT SAID... NO MOJOPLAYS... NO! ODIN - ENOUGH SAID!!! I have tried now 6 TIMES to fight him in the Simulator to get his Materia... Even on the EASIEST SETTING... WIPED OUT EVERY TIME BY HIS ZANZETSUKEN!!!
I really hated that fight against Scarlet. Maybe I went at it all wrong but that one gave me a lot of trouble. Ugh, that’s the one I don’t look forward to on hard mode.
probably not gonna be believed, but rufus fight wasn't much of a challenge for me, I remembered how impossible it was in the first game, so when this one was about to come out, I revesited on youtube to remember what he was made of, and by that point I knew that the game wanted me to use the block mechanic more, so instead of attacking I waited for him to do it and while it was a challenge, he never killed me
I found Odin the hardest in the whole game. Jenova then Sephiroth reborn was an absolute gauntlet but survivable and winnable. Odin just whips out Zantetsuken and game over. He's not angry, he's just disappointed.
Can someone please tell me how to defeat Sephiroth? I’m currently stuck on him and have even lowered the difficulty to give myself a better chance at winning. I haven’t fought him again yet but I do want to give it another shot. I just need advice on how to beat him this time.
In the final stage of the fight get Aerith to use fire magic at times when Sephiroth is still and it'll end up pressuring him. For the final part of the fight its crucial to helping to staggering Sephiroth, and having cloud deliver a combo powerful enough to end Sephiroth
Press circle and square back to back very quickly, with the propper timing you can roll around really fast Keep aerirh alive and use her magic wards. Make sure you prioritize getting the best combos possible
Yeah if Sephiroth pulls out a Octoslash prime and he’s not staggered you are COOKED. However if you have a limit break you can tank the hit and the countdown reset
Fort Condor is the hardest boss ever U can use the same strategy which won u the battle but when u use it again exactly the same strategy at the same exact time, the outcome is going to be different
Odin and Mythril Golem. For me the hardest two bosses (on hard) were Mythril Golem and Gi Nattak. I know Roche and Rufus gave people a ton of troubles. Gilgamesh in Hard VR is the most difficult enemy in the game
Dude the Rufus Shinra boss fight was so annoying, in both games I might add! He's not hard to beat it just takes precision timing to hit, pressure and stagger him.
I felt so ashamed I reduced the difficuty from Dynamic to Easy to finish off Sephiron Reborn. That last phase took me DAYS to beat. Rufus also was took quite a while to beat. The Rufus fight angered me because I knew every single time I made a mistake I was going to pay for it.
Strangely the Summon fights werent difficult. The main story bosses on the other hand. Yeah, Way more challenging. Rufus boss fight was a migrane, scarlett mecha fight was crazy.
odin and gilgamesh by far. Most of these I was able to beat on my first or second try. Took me hours to get odin causw of his damn Zanetsukin. I never beat Gilgamesh, but I was only level 49 when I reached him. After 172 hours into the game, I decided it was time to move on and finish it. Havent tried hard mode yet. Will go back to it after some time doing other stuff, probly from the beginning
Sure about half my gameovers were from the final stage of the final boss... but man having beat Remake a few times even on hard mode... to get bullied by Rufus again was embarrassing, i basically used a summon to finish the fight
Honestly, I didn't even find sephiroth that difficult this time around for some reason. I don't know why, but I just didn't struggle with him. Rufus though, #&$% that piece of crap.
So, something I noticed about the Sephiroth Reborn fight. The party comp that the game gives you according to everywhere online, including this video, you get Tifa, Red XIII, and Cait Sith for the Bahamut part, then Barret, Red XIII, and Yuffie for the elemental wing phase. But for my playthrough, Tifa and Barret were swapped? Why?
@@limppickle4306 Good question. I've heard a few having different party members. Imma try it out tonight when I reach ch. 14 on my 2nd hard mode playthrough and see if anything changes.
hardest dynamic normal non challeng bosses in my opinion ranked: 1 odin + alex 2 odin 3 kujata + phoenix 4 aerith vs 2 fireballs 5 rufus 6 bahamut + titan 7 gi/vincent 8 scarlet/specimen 9 adamantoise more scary than most of the bosses in the game and more difficult than fighting bahamut or titan allone 10 worldboss niebelhim the only worldboss that packs a punsh in my opinion the vissually coolest fights not difficult but coolest is the fight vs the migard solom bahamut and titan where the easiest of the summons to fight
Honestly, it’s the damn Mind Flayer fight and then Corel Intel 2: 5th fight. Both of those need to be rebalanced. All the others felt awesome, but those 2 were just frustrating.

The Brutal Challenge where Sephiroth’s virtual form was the final boss.
The brutal challenge it’s 10 tonberries
The most challenging boss was watching this video and trying to understand the rationale behind what a hard boss is to you people
Ngl most of these these bosses took me 1 or 2 attempts. 1st was just to assess and see the moveset. The 2nd was making the right party to maximize stagger and damage
Any summons from Phoenix on is hard to beat. I have got all the shrines to fight the weakest and they r still far too strong. I haven't fought gilgamesh but sephiroth is the worst.

I even added revival earrings for arith just to find out he cancels them out when he traps u in that vortex.
The most difficult boss fight in Rebirth isn't actually a person or monster. It's a piano sheet. If you know, you know.
Accuracy of comment is 1000%!!! “Two legs…” is the bane of my playthrough. And the sit ups as well
Especially with PS5 Drift
@@Force-Multipliercrybaby lol
I want to see a real pianist tackle it. I got S on tifa and Aerith theme but not perfect
How do you beat the final sit-up? Dude goes to 50!!
I found Odin to be a THOUSAND times harder than Bahamut Arisen even WITH the shrines activated so I call bull on that bit
I kinda agree due to Odin's 1 hit KO but both were a little challenging taking me about 3 or 4 times fighting them each
From the guide I watched he only uses it when you take a certain amount of damage. So I guess use synergy attacks which pulls your teammates to your location avoiding odins hits?
I mean if you follow what the assess tells you to do, it's actually pretty easy. I completed it one power level down and no one in my party even came close to death the entire fight.

@@Spanluverand you NEED to debuff him. If you don't debuff he will never pressure. I debuffed him and killed it first try. Dude was a joke then
That’s not true, just learn how to block and use ATB commands on him. Maybe put haste for good measure. He’ll be pressured and then ya can fire away at him
Wait until Vincent is playable in part 3 and nerfed like hell. He fits the playable boss unlocked meme.
I'll see you in 4 years for that. Cant wait to play him...4 more years😢
It would be cool if his limit gauge works differently, and fills mega slowly-- and when it finally fills, he just transforms and you work him like a Summon-- and he's mega strong. Wont happen, but it would be dope
@@romo_lampkin I doubt squenix will do that. they will find a way to nerf him, since the party should be balanced or else no one will play the other characters anymore. lol
but i get you. it wont hurt the game by putting one OP character in.
@@blobber51 Thinking in 3 years for the 30 year anniversary
exactly what i taught
that rufus fight almost made me break my controller considering it was already right after 2 other boss fights back to back. imo it was the most frustrating up there with sephiroth
tip: attack when it says "reload" above his head
On hard mode, when you see “Reload” its already too late. Its best to just Triple Slash him after you evade/block his special attacks. Best when he tries to melee you.
Darkstar is manageable because Punisher parry owns him. It may be easier to find pressure Rufus by just parrying his dog.
I just finished Rufus on hard mode. Took me well over 20 tries to the point where my blocking and timing were flawless.
Yeah, #%$& Rufus. I mean, sure you can hit him when it says relaod, but still. He was just a pain in the ass, and the fight drug on longer than it needed to.
Use triple slash on Rufus right after dodging his attacks it makes the fight trivial
Toughest challenge by far is the gym owner when doing sit ups.
Yeah screw them minigames
This game deserves an award
Same
It's called "Game of the Year"
GOTY
Definitely, I feel like it released really early in the year so recency bias might get another game GOTY but this is definitely mine
I feel like the ending might hold them back from receiving GOTY. But in terms of visual and gameplay, 10/10
The hardest fight is actually the Shinra Middle Manager.
FR
oh no doubt the 3D Brawler fight took me several days to finally beat I had to put my controller down before I broke it
Bruh this dude was anoyjng 😭😭
Agreed! This guy was harder for me than the sephiroth 3D brawler fight XD
Agree. Sephiroth is easier because he telegraphs his attacks better albeit he barely gives you an opening to attack him so you’ll need counter him only after his flurry combos.

Casting Bio on Odin
will prevent him from using Zantetsuken while he’s poisoned. Of course on Hard mode this is no longer viable.
Bahamut is all gas all the time so I get it.
Red Dragon deserves a mention for its unavoidable one-shot fire attack alone
Omg yes! That fight was tough!
Red Dragon absolutely destroys you if you don't manage to criple the chest in time, that attack is barely survivable at max range.
You can manipulate how strong Crimson Breath will be (the level of the attack is determined on how much you have crippled it's chest), unless you play on hard it will always be level 3 no matter what you do which makes the boss fight a lot more annoying.
Yes this was the best time using Reraise materia is advisable.
Only on hard mode. It's fully avoidable in normal or hybrid

-Titan and Bahamut Arisen, Phoenix and Kujata, and Odin and Alexander all must be defeated before facing Gilgamesh. It's probably best to do this on new game plus because these guys are BRUTAL!

I just beat the story of Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth today. That game deserves Game of the Year. Enough said.

@@ericlee5638 Ok.
The normal mode bosses are a joke compared to the hard mode VR challenges
Talk about a rude awakening
It took me so many attempts to beat Odin being able to land two lucky level2 limit breaks while being staggered. Only to realize that now I have to fight Odin + Alexander. I didn’t even make an attempt lol
All 3 dual summon battles in Gilgamesh Island.... JESUS
Or every single round in the partty animal quest battle Arena.
This final challenges are NUTS
Where's the Odin fight at?
I don't know if I'm the only one but when it comes to bosses, it really becomes harder for me when you are required to use only one character. I just can't get used to not utilizing an entire party.
Rufus is always on another level. He aint playing no games in Remake & Rebirth.
Cant wait to see if theres his fight in part 3 🔥
Toneberry?
They say Tonberry several times
Hahahahaha!! Right??
The King Zu holds a special place in my heart, a place of darkness, pain and hatred. Swan song, why.
I was not prepared for Vincent and I was crapping my pants the whole time…
😂😂Vincent was cake tho I hope they don't nerf him And make him a team member next game
Its actually nightmare survival queen's blood
Honestly I died more to Yin and Yang than any other boss in the game but that was because I was still getting used to playing Cait and it’s difficult with no team support.
Gi Nattek & Rufus on hard mode is not for the weak
Ya know gi wasn't that bad and Rufus is only that bad because it's right after the turks as well
Can tell this guy never did the brutal or legendary VR bosses :)
Exactly! These are more like the hardest story (and some side ones)bosses but there's way harder fights out there.
Took me a week to finally beat gilgamesh and sephiroth on that challenge.never going through that again
Rulers of the Outer Worlds was a special hell for me. The hardest of the VR challenges for me. Bonds of Friendship didn’t even give me that hard a time. Virtual Sephiroth after Gilgamesh was just punishment.

Odin only uses Zansetsuken if you get hit a couple of times from his other attacks
be more attentive next time and try to stagger as fast as possible with Tifa and he'll be much easier
i gotta say unless you count a spesificic two man team simulation
Odin+Alexander was the boss i actually struggled the most with in the normal/dynamic playthrough since each required totally different approaches
@@Force-Multiplierbro I’m at level 68 I don’t want to try dynamic that would probably make enemies more difficult than hard mode

Tonberry will always be my arch nemesis.
My hardest fight was Odin. And the mission you have to defeat mind flayer first.
Odin killed me a lot, and mind flayer just won't die first...
Gi Nattak boss has a massive weakness you just use powerful healing magic or items on him as his a undead enemy so dose massive damage instead you could kill him out right with a phoenix down in FF7
Odin was hard as hell, but BY FAR the most annoying battle was the double Test 0 fight if you decided to challenge then getting to Corel Prison for the first time. You were underleveled, and sleep only does so much against the second one.
Constant stun locks, moves that are not announced or telegraphed and the unblockable biting was just outright absurd to deal with. Hard mode was even more painful.
What about any of the Middle manager challenges?
That was tough, still haven’t beat Sephiroth 3D Brawler but damn….middle manager parties hard apparently
@@JackpotToys pause during 3D brawlers to read their movement
You can use accessories that protect against instant death when fighting the Tonberry King. Makes the fight very easy. :P
The GI natkai boss was tough but those damn Gilgamish summon fights lol
10. Just use Maximum Fury to decimate his junk tentacles when he creates them.
7. Even more so if you want to get his crown. You need to use Steal ON THE CROWN when it falls off before the king puts it back on.
5. And somehow, Odin is even harder because of his Zantetsuken attack, which will instakill your entire party if he lands too many attacks.
4. This was the most frustrating fight to cap off an already frustrating part of the game. This is due to Cait Sith's throwing arc not stretching far enough. Plus, Cait Sith works best as a support unit, not a fighter.
3. Just like in Remake, Rufus will only be vulnerable to damage while he's reloading. So you REALLY gotta pay attention.
2. Not to mention, before you even fight Gilgamesh, you have to take on 3 BRUTAL duo bosses against the summons you've acquired. I recommend saving him for new game plus.
this game just makes it soo hard to tell when an enemy is attacking for me
the combat simulator is the real boss fight
Gi natak has no weaknesses? Tell me you've never played og ff7 without telling me you haven't played it.
Some people still haven’t played, come on with putting the final boss in the thumbnail. I was surprised as hell they used that this early instead of the very very end like normal.
None of these bosses were hard at all except for the Odin summon lmao can't believe Dyne is considered hard that Sephiroth 3D Brawler minigame is no joke tho
Gi Nattak was so infuriating because I killed him, but right as the cutscene began to play out after his defeat, my timer hit zero and my happiness turned to complete sour candy when the screen said “game over”
I found duo summon boss fights leading to gilgamesh the hardest so far but havent done all post mains cenario colloseum and simulator fights yet
The last side quest mini games.
My top 10 required for Platinum Trophy:
1. "Bonds of Friendship" Legendary Odin
2. "Rulers of the Outer Worlds" Virtual Sephiroth
3. Rufus - Hard Mode
4. "Rulers of the Outer Worlds" Brutal Gilgamesh
5. 3D Brawler Sephiroth
6. Red Dragon - Hard Mode
7. Gilgamesh
8. Dyne - Hard Mode
9. "Hellions’ Intonement" - Tonberry King
10. Midgardsormr - Hard Mode
The Gorgons Manes are a real pain in the ass too
I platinumed the game, and the 2 hardest bosses are easily Rufus on hard mode, and Odin in the legendary challenges.
You need to learn attack patterns for these guys, everything else can be cheesed with magic builds, stop and Brumal spam.
Virtual Sephiroth is an honorable mention, can be defeated with magic build/brumal spam, but you need to be fast to get the setup started, else you die.
I can’t even imagine… well done
Every single fight in this list has a fairly simple counter to them, or just using basic skills like blocking can make them quite straight forward.
Dyne, vincent and the summon duos are difficult, but nothing in this game stands up to rufus in difficulty. I decided not to even try hard mode because of that fight.
Bizzaro sephiroth isnt difficult at all, just long to become frustrating when you get your ass beat by actual sephiroth.
The most difficult boss in this game is the menu where it says
'Continue from this last fight'
'Continue from before this battle'
'Continue from last checkpoint'
In terms of actual fighting, I'd say Rufus was truly the hardest. I hate him so much😭 he already beat me up in remake, he just HAD to do it in rebirth, the way my eyes widened in horror when I realized I had to fight him again😭😭
The Tomberry King is actually quite easy if you know how to counter his Death Knife attack. Just give Cloud the accessory that makes him immune to Death attacks and bring long range party members like Barret and Aerith. Cloud takes the brunt of the attacks and kills whatever Tomberrys that show up and with the accessory none of the king's attacks will one shot him. Then it's a matter of keeping Cloud's health up and the King will fall.
Odin is the hardest summon imo and Jenova Lifeclinger was harder than any Sephiroth phase as well
I haven’t obtained Odin because of that Zantetsuken. Dyne was a pain in the ass and honestly speaking, a lot of the boss fights in Rebirth are goddamn difficult if you don’t have a good specific strategy for every one of them. You can’t rely that much on mashing that square button.
Heads up, putting Bizarro Sephiroth in the thumbnail less than a month after the game released was a really shitty thing to do to OG fans. Just wanted to come back to this vid and let you know…..
Rufus Shinra was a pain in the ass. MAJOR pain in the ass. I even remembered how you beat him in the 1st game and STILL!!!!
The 10 Tonberrys all at the same time was pretty difficult. Probably harder than, not all, but a lot of bosses in the game.
I think the Tonberry king is only difficult if you don’t use Yuffie. You can just use her range attack and spam basic attack against him and his minions. Takes a while, but as long as you dodge his range hits, there’s almost zero danger. Just use a Phoenix Down if he manages to hit one of your non controlled characters.
The red dragon in the temple of the ancients
I loved that battle
That was the only fight in the game it took me more than one try to beat
Nahhh that was cake, I think Roche was the most difficult
@@ronintheyorky4426 i think that one was cake haha. Funny how different playstyles of people can affect difficulty. Are you more of a melee fighter or spells?
sephiroth reborn is one of the hardest bosses in FF7 rebirth omg him is so awesome
Odin is definitely the hardest summon fight due to the rules of the encounter.
OK! Right off the bat MojoPlays goes for DYNE at Number 10... OH GOD YEAH! Took me a couple of tries as he is HARD AS NAILS!!!
And... WOW! One of the BEST Changes that Square Enix made! The Battle with Dyne was always heartbreaking even in the OG Game... But this is clearly a fight against a man suffering PTSD and YOU FEEL IT!!!! I have no shame admitting that by the end, I was Bawling my eyes out!!!
Terror of the Deep... Yeah, HARD! Its a very tactical fight...
GI Nattack, Amazingly - I found him not so hard as I expected!!! In fact I found his Minions harder than he was...
Tonberry King - This was the fight I was Genuinely Dreading!!! I avoided it for a long time... But as I wanted to finish each region before moving forwards I went for it... And, It was STUNNIGLY EASY! I was Genuinely surprised!!! Maybe I had levelled too far... But I did not struggle here at all!
Specimen H1204 and Crimson Mare... NO! I still have nightmares about this pair!!!
Bahumut Arisen - Going to be honest... Scares me! I have not even tried yet!!!
Galian Beast - The name says it all... While I beat it first time... GOD It did not go down easy!!!
Rufus - He is a cheap little shit! And yeah... HARD!!! Again, I beat him first time... But it was not easy!!! And I had been levelling as I wanted my Time Materia Boosted up...
Gilgamesh - Not faced him yet... LOL! Took me long enough to unlock him! Cactaur Crush 4 is a Pain in the backside!!!
Sepiroth Reborn - Not got there yet... But come on, Its THYE MAIN MAN! OF COURSE!!!!
THAT SAID... NO MOJOPLAYS... NO!
ODIN - ENOUGH SAID!!! I have tried now 6 TIMES to fight him in the Simulator to get his Materia... Even on the EASIEST SETTING... WIPED OUT EVERY TIME BY HIS ZANZETSUKEN!!!
The issue for the Tonberry King it's that you have to steal the crown and it's a little confusing at the beginning.
I really hated that fight against Scarlet. Maybe I went at it all wrong but that one gave me a lot of trouble. Ugh, that’s the one I don’t look forward to on hard mode.
Odin and Rufus were the hardest in this game. I don’t think I’ve ever used so many curse words in my life in such a short period of time.
probably not gonna be believed, but rufus fight wasn't much of a challenge for me, I remembered how impossible it was in the first game, so when this one was about to come out, I revesited on youtube to remember what he was made of, and by that point I knew that the game wanted me to use the block mechanic more, so instead of attacking I waited for him to do it and while it was a challenge, he never killed me
I found Odin the hardest in the whole game. Jenova then Sephiroth reborn was an absolute gauntlet but survivable and winnable. Odin just whips out Zantetsuken and game over. He's not angry, he's just disappointed.
Can someone please tell me how to defeat Sephiroth? I’m currently stuck on him and have even lowered the difficulty to give myself a better chance at winning. I haven’t fought him again yet but I do want to give it another shot. I just need advice on how to beat him this time.
In the final stage of the fight get Aerith to use fire magic at times when Sephiroth is still and it'll end up pressuring him. For the final part of the fight its crucial to helping to staggering Sephiroth, and having cloud deliver a combo powerful enough to end Sephiroth
Press circle and square back to back very quickly, with the propper timing you can roll around really fast
Keep aerirh alive and use her magic wards.
Make sure you prioritize getting the best combos possible
@@chance6991okay I’ll try. I even nerfed the difficulty to make it easier. Will that help?
Yeah if Sephiroth pulls out a Octoslash prime and he’s not staggered you are COOKED. However if you have a limit break you can tank the hit and the countdown reset
Good news. I beat him.
5:31 Whooped his candy ass
The death claws in an around the mythril mines were harder than a lot of the boss fights
Fort Condor is the hardest boss ever
U can use the same strategy which won u the battle but when u use it again exactly the same strategy at the same exact time, the outcome is going to be different
Odin and Mythril Golem. For me the hardest two bosses (on hard) were Mythril Golem and Gi Nattak. I know Roche and Rufus gave people a ton of troubles. Gilgamesh in Hard VR is the most difficult enemy in the game
Odin and the combo Odin and Alexander fight are TOUGH … he’s like a ticking time bomb
Rulers of the Outer World, Hands down. It took me two f***ing weeks to complete it...
Dude the Rufus Shinra boss fight was so annoying, in both games I might add! He's not hard to beat it just takes precision timing to hit, pressure and stagger him.
King Zu at the gold was one for me until I found out about his wings lol
Dyne was a pain. Beat him first time and have no clue how...
Gi Nattack shouldn’t be on here. Just give them an elixir lol
Johnny is this game's true final boss
I felt so ashamed I reduced the difficuty from Dynamic to Easy to finish off Sephiron Reborn. That last phase took me DAYS to beat. Rufus also was took quite a while to beat. The Rufus fight angered me because I knew every single time I made a mistake I was going to pay for it.
I had to reduced the difficulty for gilgamesh. I was actually ok for sephiroth on dynamic.
Strangely the Summon fights werent difficult. The main story bosses on the other hand. Yeah, Way more challenging. Rufus boss fight was a migrane, scarlett mecha fight was crazy.
Rufus lowkey was the most annoying
4:01 Damage sponge. Use resist w/Magnify and you're good
odin and gilgamesh by far. Most of these I was able to beat on my first or second try. Took me hours to get odin causw of his damn Zanetsukin. I never beat Gilgamesh, but I was only level 49 when I reached him. After 172 hours into the game, I decided it was time to move on and finish it. Havent tried hard mode yet. Will go back to it after some time doing other stuff, probly from the beginning
Gilgamesh was eaay for me. Galian Beast almost made me destroy my television.
I destroyed all these bosses on dynamic except scarlet and Gilgamesh. I actually switched from dynamic to easy for her I was over it lol
I think I had the most trouble with Galian Beast.
Iron kight is a pain but doable. And the fact that you can banish odin and outright stagger bahamut tand titan simultaneously makes em a joke
Bahamut arisen whisper hard mode....
This game hands-down had the most bosses
Mojo doesn't seem to even know about Chadley's Brutal and Legendary bosses, what a joke of a video
Odin should be there cause damn did it kick my ass
Sure about half my gameovers were from the final stage of the final boss... but man having beat Remake a few times even on hard mode... to get bullied by Rufus again was embarrassing, i basically used a summon to finish the fight
Honestly, I didn't even find sephiroth that difficult this time around for some reason. I don't know why, but I just didn't struggle with him.
Rufus though, #&$% that piece of crap.
These are probably easier than getting the timing right on the swinging pipe , in og ff7
So, something I noticed about the Sephiroth Reborn fight. The party comp that the game gives you according to everywhere online, including this video, you get Tifa, Red XIII, and Cait Sith for the Bahamut part, then Barret, Red XIII, and Yuffie for the elemental wing phase. But for my playthrough, Tifa and Barret were swapped? Why?
I think it depends on the party you brought with you into the White Whispers fight.
@@MelioraSR maybe. I'm still wondering why I haven't come across anyone else who had this though.
@@limppickle4306 Good question. I've heard a few having different party members. Imma try it out tonight when I reach ch. 14 on my 2nd hard mode playthrough and see if anything changes.
The only battle that I died more than once was Rufus and Bahamat that it every other boss I beaten on my first try
Feels illegal to be this early...
hardest dynamic normal non challeng bosses in my opinion ranked:
1 odin + alex
2 odin
3 kujata + phoenix
4 aerith vs 2 fireballs
5 rufus
6 bahamut + titan
7 gi/vincent
8 scarlet/specimen
9 adamantoise more scary than most of the bosses in the game and more difficult than fighting bahamut or titan allone
10 worldboss niebelhim the only worldboss that packs a punsh
in my opinion the vissually coolest fights not difficult but coolest is the fight vs the migard solom
bahamut and titan where the easiest of the summons to fight
Gilgamesh was literally harder than sephiroth. I had to tone down the difficulty for him.
Honestly, it’s the damn Mind Flayer fight and then Corel Intel 2: 5th fight. Both of those need to be rebalanced. All the others felt awesome, but those 2 were just frustrating.
