    Having to reset your materia every single time you have to redo this fight is the single most rage-inducing thing I've ever come across in this game. This fight already blows ass on hard mode, then they add more annoyance on top of it. This strategy is absolutely top-tier, even if it took a couple tries. Great job.

    Phew. Finally did it. All my magic materia was level 1, and weapon level 7, so I think putting the magic actually made it harder cus I skipped out on stat boosts to get it.
    What I found most useful from this video is the limit boost gear, ATB boost gear, and the timing of counters, I thought I could only counter him when he reloads. pressing X after his zoomies is a good tip.
    I also put regen and chakra on for safety. Actually could not get him to p2 on first stagger. But it was great cus when I eventually got to p2 my stagger was almost full, just needed two counters to get stagger, and had summon + limit ready.
    So if you can do p1 OK, but struggle with P2 ( I know I do ) you can try to skip pushing him in the first stagger. Then get him to p2 with just normal damage while building a nice stagger bar. Then unleash hell in p2 when all aligns. Will take longer but it is way easier to build a stagger bar in p1 then in p2.

The fact if something goes wrong and you have to do this fight again and RESET all your gear was just stupid. Thanks for that square... horrible move! should of been something to retain your stuff after you change your loadout.

    I beat this guy easily with a magic build, but this looks like a really cool method to try out. This is what I like about Remake and Rebirth. Combat has so many options to pick from. I think this game eventually will be actually considered easier than Remake once we figure everything out. There's just so much more you can do and the improved blocking/canceling damage really helps. For example, the other day I beat Rebirth's final boss and then Remake's back to back. Rebirth should be harder, but with the proper setup and thanks to the characters' new abilities, especially Aerith's for the final phase, it just felt easier overall. Imagine fighting Rebirth's Sephiroth with Remake's more limited options now, we'd get our asses handed to us.

    • @akhafasu

      Cool. What was the magic build you use on Rufus? He doesn't take much damage from magic

    • @devilman4018
      @devilman4018 Місяць тому

      @akhafasu wind paired with mp absorb,hp absorb, swift cast, magic focus, and magnify,enemy skill materia, first attack, skill master, magic plus, genji gloves, rune blade. The idea is basically similar to your strategy, use sonic boom on him to pressure him, then attack him until you have 2 atb bars, then use prime mode, Rufus should shoot here but Cloud tanks it while in the prime mode animation, then immediately use braver because Rufus will use reload and if you manage to hit him with braver he gets instantly staggered. Then attack while in prime mode to get the berserk buffs and fill atb, attack with windga for high damage and attack again to get ATB. 2nd phase just use windga again he should fall. Takes a little bit of practice to get the timing right, but it makes short work of him and the Turks before. Credits to the Malicenx dude for the strategy, you can watch his video for more.

    My Strat:
    Phase 1 Use Counterstrike Into Focused Thrust- Rinse and Repeat until he pushes you away repeat step 1
    Phase 2: Use Limit Break On Dark Star and Pop Gilgamesh. Pressure Darkstar into stagger and take him out. Repeat Phase 1 steps with Rufus and heal if necessary with Chakra. When Gilgamesh uses ultimate illusion he’ll either kill Rufus or put him to low health finish him off if needed
