I finished the Zack and Sephi fight today bc of your guides. Im not as clean as you, but I had to upload my fights anyway. Thank you. I credited you in my video. Solid videos.
Thanks for this bro, took me like a week and a half for get this down. I had to improvise a little bit on some of the fights cuz things can go a little different, especially on Bahamut and Odin. Thanks for taking the time to make this. You got yourself a new subscriber.
Dude I really LOVED these guides, I was able to complete the whole Simulator MIssions because of them. They're so detailed and easy to follow! Thank you very much you've earned a new subscriber.
Thank you so much with your perfect guide. I succeed at first try following your step by step (after failing several times using other guides). I'll see your Zack guide right now!
I wanted to thank you for your very well done guides. you allowed me to platinum the game with your videos. the only truly detailed ones I've found online. I'm an Italian guy, and I just wanted to say thank you!🎉🎉
Got it done! Thanks for this guide and step by step. Odin was a pain but I was able to have Seph survive and be able to bring Cloud back no got low but thankful ability usage I was able to use magic when needed with the purple color mp. Thanks again!
I finished all brutal & legendary challenges a couple weeks ago & got my platinum this past weekend after finishing hard mode. Thanks to your guide & a medley of a couple others all this was made possible. I’ve subscribed to your channel & I just wanted to say thank you 🙏🏼
Duuuuude! I've beaten all the challenges up to this one but somehow this was giving me more troubles than Bonds of Friendship. I tried to follow a magic build similar to yours but I think it wasn't using Sephiroth potential properly. Tried yours right now out of desperation and worked first try! It even went horribly wrong cause during Bahamut it didn't register the limit command and I realised that a few seconds too late, so then Sephiroth died and Cloud had to solo 1/3 health Bahamut without reraise, but managed! Then Odin first half also went very bad, got hit a lot and Sephiroth was low due to the previous fight, casted reraise on both but somehow in the end I didn't even need it cause your sequence always allowed to use something or react to something, stellar guide! Thank you!! Now onto hard mode for the platinum!
Finaaaaally beat this!!! I don’t know how many times I attempted this battle but I do know I was able to finally achieve victory thanks to your guide Thank you!!
I left a very bitter comment earlier about not being able to get the hang of Sephiroth or his limit break hack, which I've now deleted, but I kept at it and got as far as Odin. I then took your guide and adapted it to my mediocre play style and finally managed to do it! Basically what I'm trying to say is thank you for this guide! The way you lay out the steps is really helpful and easy to follow. My triumph over Bahamut and Odin wasn't as clean or as stylish as yours, but I'm one step closer to the Platinum. Now on to BoF!
Congrats on the win. I know how frustration works, so don’t worry about it. Thank you for coming back and sharing your kind words. If you need any help with BoF, lemme know. I’ll be posting a video today on a new strategy
@@akhafasu I managed to complete Bonds of Friendship first attempt, though it was a disaster! I left a comment on your other video. I'm excited to see this new strategy and test it out. I feel oddly bereft now that I have the platinum. I've subscribed to your channel. Your guides are excellent. :)
First off… you’re awesome, your videos are easy to follow and having the descriptions while you explain is priceless! I had to become a Patreon (Brian). Second, I don’t know why or what my mental barrier is. I can knock out rounds 1-8 so easily now that I play around with them to try different things, most of these battles (even after doing them 100 times…. no joke there… I’ve been trying this for a week now). Then fuckin Bahamut. I follow your steps perfectly and I can beat him only 1/3 of the time. I’ve reached Odin about 10 times and got real close most of the time, I think he is easier than Bahamut. Anyway, everyone commenting that they did this on their first try after following your video (or even after 3-5)…. I Envy You!!! Truly amazing….. why can’t I! Ugh. If anyone read all that, thanks for listening to me rant. And any advice is appreciated. 😢
Thanks for the support. I responded to you on my discord. And I know what you mean. I had a hard time with the last two myself. But I was able to figure out when to block and go on the offensive. Odin especially. You need to block his attacks to gain ATB and attack back. Only then will he use Sleipnir’s Furor and get pressured. After that it’s all ATB management
Thanks for the reply and additional tips. I’m not good with Discord. Don’t use it much but I’ll figure it out. Appreciate the help. I’m still having fun so it’s not like work to me…. yet! I only have this and Bonds and then the Plat is mine. To be honest, I couldn’t care less about the Plat. 100% it all - It’s just my own personal mission that I took on and I’ll see it through to the end. 😊
Thank you a lot! I watched your videos and it was very helpfull with both legendaries "Bonds os Friendship" and "To be a Hero"! Now I have to complete Jhonnys Collection and beat the game on hard to get my platinum Trophy! You're the best! Edited: P.S.: You got yourself a new subscriber!
Just finished it in 3 tries. Died twice to Odin as I got careless when he was almost dead. Thanks for the guide man! Yours, Sorento, and Optinoob's made my platinum possible lol. Cheers!
Thank once again!!! I completed all remaining bouts just now, I finally did it thanks to you and everyone here!!! Everyone, sub up to him and the other guides on yt cause they did us all a huge HUGE favor! 💯🔥🔥 WWWWW!!
@@justnateclips7521 wow thank you so much for the huge shoutout :) And congrats on beating all the challenges! Super happy to know I was able to help you out with my content
Finally finished it, my run got messed up and Cloud died twice, luckily Sephiroth is OP on his own so I just spammed shift strike and firaga until he was dead, thank you for the guides bro
Thank you. I used the build in your video and found the commentary / screen prompts useful. Now, for everyone reading, it is not as easy as it looks. I wish I was one of those 'Yay first try' guys, but I would say almost 30 tries and I got there. I got to Odin 4 times. The 9 battles before become relatively easy (you still gotta pay attention). Odin is quite random and I honestly think you need a little luck on your side.
Thanks man! Nearly got bamboozled by Odin with his stop and him killing Cloud, so I had to use Arise but luckily I managed to kill him on the end, awesome guide!
This too ended with your tactics not the same but in general....And then I got the platinum trophy, thanks to you guys who published these videos, otherwise I was still there at the first brutal one It seemed easier than the one with Zack, but maybe I trained with the other challenge so much that this one with Seph seemed like a joke to me, done in 4/5 attempts Thanks Akha and good luck ;) I apologize again for my bad English, but I'm Italian and I make mistakes XD
Amazing job, got this first time with your guide and never attempted it beforehand!!! Awesome guide my friend......thats all challanges and trophies tied up, minus the now easy, Hard mode run.....will be a breeze after this haha
Thank you for this! I finally beat it. My Odin fight was messy as hell but I somehow pulled it off. Now I just need to do Bonds of Friendship. I’ve gotten really close several times and figured the smartest thing to do was beat this one in order to have Cloud’s weapon level at 9
Another great guide bro!🔥🔥🔥 completed bonds of friendship yesterday and to be a hero today with your guides, thank you!🤙🏽🤙🏽 After bonds of friendship, to be a hero was a lot more fun knowing how most bosses fight and you get to use Sephy! Personally I hated Cait Siths out of all these legendary/brutal sims😑 Which simulation did you consider the most challenging akhafasu?! Thanks again brother!!🤙🏽🤙🏽
Died to Bahamut 3 times because he kept transforming when I didn’t have 2 atb and Odin twice. He kept getting all fathers fury off and killing me and Sephiroth instantly but luckily during the unlimited MP phase after the synergy skill I used reraise on Cloud and he killed me with like 1 hp left so luckily I rose and got to kill him otherwise I would have been screwed. Great guide
Thanks for the guide~~~ its so much easier after spent days and alot of luck beating the Bonds of Friendship. beat it in 2 tries lolz Sephi is just too OP
got this first try thanks to you! for some reason odin didnt stagger at around 25% hp so i think i missed something there, but i managed to beat him after sephi died!
You've got a new sub - great content. I have a question though... in what order am I supposed to do all of this? I've spent 400 hours... (yes...400, I know but a lot of that has simply been sightseeing and watching stories and plots again) and I'm trying to finally Plat this damn game but I am STILL confused. Do I Hard Mode everything first? I'm currently on Chapter 10 HM. I do NOT have the Gotter AND I have not finished the Legendary fights.. plus I'm obviously a number of folios short. Do I Brutal/Legendary FIRST and THEN finish Hard Mode or the other way around? Some UA-camrs have the Gotter and then do the Chadley Tortures while others do those first and then tackle Hard Mode. It seems to make a HUGE difference to have Level 9 as opposed to 8. I want all the manuscripts for sure and LOTOW keeps kicking my ass, so the Gotter has been something I put off. I hate being killed right at the end by Greg or Seph just when everything else has gone so well to that point. ...help? LOL
Hey. I recommend getting the Gotterdammurung first if you having issues with hard mode. The challenges require some strategies to pull off and can be done e even if you didn’t complete hard mode. But yes, the more the manuscripts the somewhat easier they’ll get. Another important thing is to master the materia that you’ll be using. Makes all the difference. If you need to chat, drop by my discord :)
I finally won, I was very scared of Odin, doing some solo battles against him helped me a lot. Your guide too, thanks for sharing, now I'll go back to Zack and Cloud.
I beat this thanks to your guide. Only took me 2 attempts. First attempt I died on Odin from zantetzugen which I already casted reraise only for him to temporal freeze and kill me.... FFS. Second time I blitzed the eff outta him and gave him no time to even take a leak. THANKS A LOT. ONLY HAVE FRIENDSHIP TO DO AND ILL have platinum
Just got the Platnium about 20 minutes ago. Took me the day with your guide. Made everything, especially Alexander, who caused me the most problems the last 2 days easier. Hell, I did Odin blind. As inised Sephiroth Limit Break trick to keep Odin at bay. Though I thought I was screwed when he got frozen but Cloud got it done.
Got to Odin on my first try but had a couple of hiccups along the way so I didn't have enough MP to handle the onslaught. I'll get him one or these days!
@@akhafasu Yes, but Sephiroth had to bail me out a couple of times with healing and Arise in the Alexander and Bahamut fights. I'm also just not good with handling Odin's attacks but I'll do better next time!
@@akhafasu I managed to beat him finally! It was pretty messy but I managed to pull through. Thanks for all the help. Your guides have saved me quite a lot of pain!
Your guide works. I got to odin my first try using your guide. Then i died, then i tried again and couldn't get far. Decided to rest for a day got to odin again then i almost had it then he killed me with the stop attack. Tried again can't get pass bahamut, it seems im betting better but that sfupid dragon.
Sephiroth Just doesn't want to fly for me lol. Against Alex I'm pressing circle like you said then square and he just slides then hits thin air, pls help
Compared to Zack’s Bout this was really easy Sephiroth was easy to get used to and I beat Odin on his second try (couldn’t beat him first time due to RNG) I suggest getting Sephiroth’s limit break twice during the Odin fight as I used them both either during his stagger or to make hin stagger Thank you for the guides Optinoob, now only the Hard Mode remains for me!
Great guide but I’m still stuck on Bahamut. My aerora isn’t breaking each wing in a single attack. My stats are identical to yours. Any idea why the discrepancy?
I lost against Bahamut damn! He had few hp but I didn't destroyed his wings fast so he used Gigaflare...but I'm almost at the end of this brutal way. Cannot give up (anyway be a hero seems like easier than bond of friendship to me) Edit : I did it! Smashed Odin in 3 minutes. Bahamut was the though one Thank you for your strategies. Without them it would have been impossible to overcome them!
Yeah. Sephiroth makes this way easier than with Zack. Using the synergy unlimited MP and having ReRaise on deck let me beat Bahumet and Odin easily. Just make sure you’re as close to max MP going into the Odin figjt. It will save a lot of headache
this is so helpful but jfc, i have everything down to muscle memory except for Odin. no matter what, it only takes one hit before I lose momentum and before long he's built up hits for Zantetsuken. i'm losing my mind lmao.
You need to hit him more and do some damage. Once done enough, he will cast Sleipnir’s Furor which will pressure him and give you the opportunity to stagger him
Could someone clarify what is meant by prime mode + block? I’m trying to do it on my end but it doesn’t seem to do anything and Cloud just gets knocked about and loses too much health against Bahamut (which is as far as I’ve gotten in these challenges). EDIT: Finally beat it on getting to Bahamut for the third time and Odin on my first. This guide was a godsend despite my crap blocking skills with Cloud and will def use your one for Bonds of Friendship. Shoutout to Alexander for causing a game crash on their defeat on my third-last attempt (no idea why this happened here but I’m blaming them for it).
@@akhafasuCheers for the explanation. The game doesn’t do too well explaining this. I’ll practice a bit with this one before attempting Bonds of Friendship.
At least now I can get to round 9 after 15 to 16 hours of practice. I have a lot of difficulty with these challenges because I get very angry very fast especially when it's been a long time
@@akhafasu Haha I know, I could have just dodged out the way too, think I was so tired last night from attempting this that my reaction time was starting to die.
I just did a No Damage boss run. And man... I'm beat. Played until 7am but to finish off Demon Wall without taking any damage. The AI can be so dumb at times
This Guide helped me lots. Ooonly: i cant get passed Alex: did what u do in the guide, but when my sephi attacks the arms, the thundagas are soo slow. When im about to attack the other arm, alex starts to destroy me in few hits. Dont get it? Whats the secret. Im cruisin through stages 1-6 so its annoying to start over again and again
@@akhafasu i tried, but the circle move to close in on him doesnt work. I target his left arm(right for me) press circle and sq. x3 etc. And then a thundaga. But its not working consistent. But i like the move u figured! Found another way : run op the left of alex and in Prime block his attacks and hit the arms with magic
@@akhafasuyes i did! But now bahamuth is now my last stop🤣. Lot of rng involved cause sometimes i have trouble to get passed titan! I want to advance fast to bahamuth again. Super Annoying ..
Am I the only one who seems to be struggling with this? I think this is far more frustrating than Bonds of Friendship. Sephiroth just wont build his Limit gauge at the same rate for me, which really throws the whole strategy out the window. I've been trying for the last week and never seem to get Odin past 25% health
You need to build his triangle gauge first. Then you'll be able to use Skyshatter by pressing circle towards and enemy and pressing triangle. Getting hit will reset the gauge and you need to build it up again. You can check my Patreon if you need help :)
Well, if you know how to beat him, it’s not that hard. Just keep attacking with Sephi to build up his limit and destroy his wings when you get the chance
@@akhafasu I found another way when it comes to Zu. But you're guides helped me through some real obsticles. I actually just posted a video reviewing the platinum trophy experience. Gave you a shoutout too bro 🔥
I hate Alexander so much. I guess I need to get used to Sephiroth. But Jabberwock, Alexander, and King Zu back to back is rought. I just don't get how you get Petrified. It just happens no matter how defensive you think you were. Alexander is always a luck based fight and for whatever reason Alexander almost ALWAYS starts Tracking beam and/or Earth Tremor. Doesn't matter you're in the air it hits you. These 2 moves plus Whirling Ray are defining in ending your run. And King Zu is ass. You can't really Sword Shift randomly cause you just get spamked by a random wind attack or oh you dodged into his face Gale Pinion. I see where the problem is. Coming into King Zu I basically died because Cloud died in the Alex fight
With Alexander, break the arms as fast as you can. If you see tracking beam, do counterfire with Cloud. Same with King Zu. Break his wings. Lemme know if you need any help
@@akhafasu I honestly just learned you can do that against Alex's attacks. The methods wasn't used at all in any video I've seen on previous bouts. I think I commented on your pre step by step video. I'm frustrated because I just keep fumbling the bag with Odin. Combining Seph's whole limit build scam this shouldn't be hard I dunno. I beat BOF on a day off where I got plenty of sleep the night before. And I'd just been grinding this out for like the last 2 hours knowing I have work. Probably just need to go to bed and give it another day. If anything I just wish they didn't put Bahamut in this as quiet frankly an easier run killer than Odin.
that is my issue too... for some reason sephi always dodges is some random direction or the attack doesn't land... not sure what the controls are for dodge on how to control it. Kind of wish they let you toy around with sephi a bit more than what they do...
Edit: I don't know if I can walk through the wall yet I'm about to find out on my next run I thought it was a full barrier I feel like I have no idea what's going on because these flights are making me so goddamn focused I can't just step back and look at the bigger picture. This asshole literally split the field and cloud and sephiroth were on two separate sides so I'm using shift / from behind a fucking wall and then he uses temporal imprisonment on sephiroth on one side of the wall in cleves me down he was at 25% health this is such a fucking bullshit dude I hate this shit I don't even know why they had to make challenges like this without a fucking goddamn fucking checkpoint I'm so fucking pissed I've been doing this for weeks or months and I've taken a couple of breaks for a few days or maybe a week at one point. I appreciate your help with bahamut though I just have to learn to get all the way to the end and have enough MP for manawall X2 and reraise. It's really weird that Odin doesn't die fast because I remember in rulers of the outer worlds I took that guy down with four fire spells Max I know I will beat it but I don't want it to be some kind of shaky angry crazy psychotic barely made it type of thing I can definitely practice against the Odin in the simulator so that's a plus
God I didn't think I'd fucking hate Odin this much, even when he's not touching you he can just trap you in an endless hitbox. Guess that's another 15 minutes wasted thanks to Square Enix. Edit: I fucking did it! I nailed the bastard! Took 38 attempts.
I finished it with this guide first try. Thought it auto saved so I let my girl hop on her game. It did not auto save. Tried again, failed on Odin with >25% health and, quite frankly, I’m upset with myself. Now I know I can do it. Just really don’t want to again ☠️
@@akhafasu got it again last night. That was awful. Even more frustrating knowing I did it first try (apparently getting lucky) and RNGesus was not on my side. Welp, thanks ahead for the Bonds of Friendship help lol
Yup. They increase weapon levels: Base stats, materia slots and links, new abilities etc. So, if you were to get them you’ll see everything that you’ll get when you level up by getting the next manuscript.
@@akhafasu I know they do all that. What I mean to say is, I have one slot left on some characters folios. I need 20-25 SP to finish them. Will obtaining 10 SP increase base stats even without filling a slot? Edit: nvm, I see. When I get Weapon level 9. Oof. Yeah I'm not doing all these minigames again

Drop by my Discord for a chat sometime
This too ended with your tactics not the same but in general....And then I got the platinum trophy, thanks to you guys who published these videos, otherwise I was still there at the first brutal one
It seemed easier than the one with Zack, but maybe I trained with the other challenge so much that this one with Seph seemed like a joke to me, done in 4/5 attempts
Thanks Akha and good luck ;)
I apologize again for my bad English, but I'm Italian and I make mistakes XD
@@dreafetr congrats on the win!
Ive seen some good guides but this takes the cake. Amazing work
Thank you so much!
Amazing job, got this first time with your guide and never attempted it beforehand!!! Awesome guide my friend......thats all challanges and trophies tied up, minus the now easy, Hard mode run.....will be a breeze after this haha
Thank you. Got videos on Hard mode bosses as well.
Thank you for this! I finally beat it. My Odin fight was messy as hell but I somehow pulled it off. Now I just need to do Bonds of Friendship. I’ve gotten really close several times and figured the smartest thing to do was beat this one in order to have Cloud’s weapon level at 9
You’re welcome :) and congrats on the win
thx dude your guide helped me a lot during To be hero. i follwer your strat and i did it
Awesome! Thank you for the comment
WOOT Finally did it, let's go! Thanks!
Congrats!
thank you so much for this guide. beat this in 1 try vs 100 tries for bonds of friendship haha. Sephiroth was OP against Odin.

Another great guide bro!🔥🔥🔥 completed bonds of friendship yesterday and to be a hero today with your guides, thank you!🤙🏽🤙🏽 After bonds of friendship, to be a hero was a lot more fun knowing how most bosses fight and you get to use Sephy!
Personally I hated Cait Siths out of all these legendary/brutal sims😑 Which simulation did you consider the most challenging akhafasu?!
Thanks again brother!!🤙🏽🤙🏽
You’re very welcome 😊
Died to Bahamut 3 times because he kept transforming when I didn’t have 2 atb and Odin twice. He kept getting all fathers fury off and killing me and Sephiroth instantly but luckily during the unlimited MP phase after the synergy skill I used reraise on Cloud and he killed me with like 1 hp left so luckily I rose and got to kill him otherwise I would have been screwed. Great guide
Thank you. And congrats on the win! Got the platinum?
Finally!!!!! Thank you so much. Cheers
You're very welcome :)
Thank you for this build and strat! Got it on 3rd try!
You’re welcome. Great to hear!
Thanks for the guide~~~ its so much easier after spent days and alot of luck beating the Bonds of Friendship. beat it in 2 tries lolz Sephi is just too OP
God I was able to help :)
got this first try thanks to you! for some reason odin didnt stagger at around 25% hp so i think i missed something there, but i managed to beat him after sephi died!
@@DonFlamingo_ congrats on the win!
You've got a new sub - great content. I have a question though... in what order am I supposed to do all of this? I've spent 400 hours... (yes...400, I know but a lot of that has simply been sightseeing and watching stories and plots again) and I'm trying to finally Plat this damn game but I am STILL confused.
Do I Hard Mode everything first? I'm currently on Chapter 10 HM. I do NOT have the Gotter AND I have not finished the Legendary fights.. plus I'm obviously a number of folios short. Do I Brutal/Legendary FIRST and THEN finish Hard Mode or the other way around? Some UA-camrs have the Gotter and then do the Chadley Tortures while others do those first and then tackle Hard Mode.
It seems to make a HUGE difference to have Level 9 as opposed to 8.
I want all the manuscripts for sure and LOTOW keeps kicking my ass, so the Gotter has been something I put off. I hate being killed right at the end by Greg or Seph just when everything else has gone so well to that point.
...help? LOL
Hey. I recommend getting the Gotterdammurung first if you having issues with hard mode. The challenges require some strategies to pull off and can be done e even if you didn’t complete hard mode. But yes, the more the manuscripts the somewhat easier they’ll get. Another important thing is to master the materia that you’ll be using. Makes all the difference. If you need to chat, drop by my discord :)
I finally won, I was very scared of Odin, doing some solo battles against him helped me a lot. Your guide too, thanks for sharing, now I'll go back to Zack and Cloud.
Congrats on the win!
Grats... I am struggling with bahamut... I must be missing something. Clouds magic stats exactly the same but cannot kill wings in single cast ..
@@michaelhanson5773 Do you enable fury via Prime Mode before you attack the wings?
@@michaelhanson5773 You Enabele Frenesi in prime Mode?
Make All diference
Yes. It increases damage to deal and taken
I beat this thanks to your guide. Only took me 2 attempts. First attempt I died on Odin from zantetzugen which I already casted reraise only for him to temporal freeze and kill me.... FFS. Second time I blitzed the eff outta him and gave him no time to even take a leak. THANKS A LOT. ONLY HAVE FRIENDSHIP TO DO AND ILL have platinum
@@theoc511 happy to know I was able to help you out :)
@@akhafasu thanks again. If I can't beat friendship I'll have u share play it for me when u return from vacation
@@theoc511 sounds good my friend :)
Just got the Platnium about 20 minutes ago. Took me the day with your guide. Made everything, especially Alexander, who caused me the most problems the last 2 days easier. Hell, I did Odin blind. As inised Sephiroth Limit Break trick to keep Odin at bay. Though I thought I was screwed when he got frozen but Cloud got it done.
Congrats on the Plat! Way to go 👏
Thabk you so much man!
You’re welcome 😊
Got to Odin on my first try but had a couple of hiccups along the way so I didn't have enough MP to handle the onslaught. I'll get him one or these days!
Do you have a maxed MP absorb?
@@akhafasu Yes, but Sephiroth had to bail me out a couple of times with healing and Arise in the Alexander and Bahamut fights. I'm also just not good with handling Odin's attacks but I'll do better next time!
@@Renoistic with Odin, try to block his initial attacks in punisher mode to gain ATB
@@akhafasu I managed to beat him finally! It was pretty messy but I managed to pull through. Thanks for all the help. Your guides have saved me quite a lot of pain!
@@Renoistic first off, congrats on the win! Great job! And thank you for your comment :) Happy to know that I was able to help you out
My goat!
Tysm
Your guide works. I got to odin my first try using your guide. Then i died, then i tried again and couldn't get far. Decided to rest for a day got to odin again then i almost had it then he killed me with the stop attack. Tried again can't get pass bahamut, it seems im betting better but that sfupid dragon.

Sephiroth Just doesn't want to fly for me lol. Against Alex I'm pressing circle like you said then square and he just slides then hits thin air, pls help

@@akhafasu ah yeh to get him in the air you don't just press circle you press up and circle, got it thanks for quick reply
@@CarnivorePaul you’re welcome
Compared to Zack’s Bout this was really easy
Sephiroth was easy to get used to and I beat Odin on his second try (couldn’t beat him first time due to RNG)
I suggest getting Sephiroth’s limit break twice during the Odin fight as I used them both either during his stagger or to make hin stagger
Thank you for the guides Optinoob, now only the Hard Mode remains for me!

Great guide but I’m still stuck on Bahamut. My aerora isn’t breaking each wing in a single attack. My stats are identical to yours. Any idea why the discrepancy?
You need to build frenzy by attacking in Prime Mode
Thanks … it makes sense, too. I’ll keep trying until I get it. Your guides have been incredible helps.
@@NickParico-ci4rv you’re welcome. Drop by the discord if you wanna chat or need any help
Bonds of Friendship took me about 2 days. But I beat To Be A Hero on the first try.
Congrats!!
I lost against Bahamut damn! He had few hp but I didn't destroyed his wings fast so he used Gigaflare...but I'm almost at the end of this brutal way. Cannot give up (anyway be a hero seems like easier than bond of friendship to me)
Edit : I did it! Smashed Odin in 3 minutes.
Bahamut was the though one
Thank you for your strategies. Without them it would have been impossible to overcome them!
You’re very welcome. And congrats on the win
@@akhafasu thank you again. now..the last card battle and then...as fast as I can towards 14th chapter in hard mode
@@carloservadei all the best my friend. Do let me know ow if you need any help. Drop by my discord for a chat
@@akhafasu thanks mate. I'm actually at chapter nine fighting against Scarlet Machine. I almost beat it
I’ve got videos on hard mode, both with the Gotterdammurung and without it.
Yeah. Sephiroth makes this way easier than with Zack. Using the synergy unlimited MP and having ReRaise on deck let me beat Bahumet and Odin easily. Just make sure you’re as close to max MP going into the Odin figjt. It will save a lot of headache
Appreciate the tips :)
this is so helpful but jfc, i have everything down to muscle memory except for Odin. no matter what, it only takes one hit before I lose momentum and before long he's built up hits for Zantetsuken. i'm losing my mind lmao.
You need to hit him more and do some damage. Once done enough, he will cast Sleipnir’s Furor which will pressure him and give you the opportunity to stagger him
Could someone clarify what is meant by prime mode + block? I’m trying to do it on my end but it doesn’t seem to do anything and Cloud just gets knocked about and loses too much health against Bahamut (which is as far as I’ve gotten in these challenges).
EDIT: Finally beat it on getting to Bahamut for the third time and Odin on my first. This guide was a godsend despite my crap blocking skills with Cloud and will def use your one for Bonds of Friendship. Shoutout to Alexander for causing a game crash on their defeat on my third-last attempt (no idea why this happened here but I’m blaming them for it).
@@campber9908 when you’re in punisher or prime mode, holding down the block button will counter most normal/melee attacks
@@akhafasuCheers for the explanation. The game doesn’t do too well explaining this. I’ll practice a bit with this one before attempting Bonds of Friendship.
@@campber9908 all the best
At least now I can get to round 9 after 15 to 16 hours of practice. I have a lot of difficulty with these challenges because I get very angry very fast especially when it's been a long time
@@supersaiyanzero386 if you need help, check out my Patreon
"Wait to see what the Ogre does, block if it attacks you" - Ogre just stands there and spams the one attack you can't block until Cloud's dead.
Just be in Prime/Punisher mode and hold R1. If it attacks, Cloud will counter. If you're health goes low, Aeroga to get it back.
@@akhafasu Haha I know, I could have just dodged out the way too, think I was so tired last night from attempting this that my reaction time was starting to die.
I just did a No Damage boss run. And man... I'm beat. Played until 7am but to finish off Demon Wall without taking any damage. The AI can be so dumb at times

Press circle towards the enemy and then attack
Oh, didn't think about it. Thanks :)
@@mariuszglinski5121 you’re welcome
This Guide helped me lots. Ooonly: i cant get passed Alex: did what u do in the guide, but when my sephi attacks the arms, the thundagas are soo slow. When im about to attack the other arm, alex starts to destroy me in few hits. Dont get it? Whats the secret. Im cruisin through stages 1-6 so its annoying to start over again and again
@@Feanor1972 attack each arm 4 times with the air combo and then Thundaga it.
@@akhafasu i tried, but the circle move to close in on him doesnt work. I target his left arm(right for me) press circle and sq. x3 etc. And then a thundaga. But its not working consistent. But i like the move u figured! Found another way : run op the left of alex and in Prime block his attacks and hit the arms with magic
@@Feanor1972 hopefully you’re able to defeat him :)
@@akhafasuyes i did! But now bahamuth is now my last stop🤣. Lot of rng involved cause sometimes i have trouble to get passed titan! I want to advance fast to bahamuth again. Super Annoying ..
@@Feanor1972 you’ll get the hang of it. With Bahamut, counter his initial attacks and then break his wings. Counter again and repeat
I can’t figure out how to launch sephi in the air . I held circle but nothing happened
Press circle towards enemy then attack
Am I the only one who seems to be struggling with this? I think this is far more frustrating than Bonds of Friendship. Sephiroth just wont build his Limit gauge at the same rate for me, which really throws the whole strategy out the window. I've been trying for the last week and never seem to get Odin past 25% health
You need to build his triangle gauge first. Then you'll be able to use Skyshatter by pressing circle towards and enemy and pressing triangle. Getting hit will reset the gauge and you need to build it up again. You can check my Patreon if you need help :)
Hot take: The King Zu fight is harder to pull off than Bahamut and/or Odin
Well, if you know how to beat him, it’s not that hard. Just keep attacking with Sephi to build up his limit and destroy his wings when you get the chance
@@akhafasu I found another way when it comes to Zu. But you're guides helped me through some real obsticles. I actually just posted a video reviewing the platinum trophy experience. Gave you a shoutout too bro 🔥
Thank you. I'll have a look :)
I hate Alexander so much. I guess I need to get used to Sephiroth. But Jabberwock, Alexander, and King Zu back to back is rought. I just don't get how you get Petrified. It just happens no matter how defensive you think you were. Alexander is always a luck based fight and for whatever reason Alexander almost ALWAYS starts Tracking beam and/or Earth Tremor. Doesn't matter you're in the air it hits you. These 2 moves plus Whirling Ray are defining in ending your run.
And King Zu is ass. You can't really Sword Shift randomly cause you just get spamked by a random wind attack or oh you dodged into his face Gale Pinion.
I see where the problem is. Coming into King Zu I basically died because Cloud died in the Alex fight
With Alexander, break the arms as fast as you can. If you see tracking beam, do counterfire with Cloud. Same with King Zu. Break his wings. Lemme know if you need any help
@@akhafasu I honestly just learned you can do that against Alex's attacks. The methods wasn't used at all in any video I've seen on previous bouts.
I think I commented on your pre step by step video. I'm frustrated because I just keep fumbling the bag with Odin. Combining Seph's whole limit build scam this shouldn't be hard
I dunno. I beat BOF on a day off where I got plenty of sleep the night before. And I'd just been grinding this out for like the last 2 hours knowing I have work.
Probably just need to go to bed and give it another day. If anything I just wish they didn't put Bahamut in this as quiet frankly an easier run killer than Odin.
Thanks for the info. If you need any help, lemme know
I think they did a update my limit doesn't go up as fast as urs
@@andrewcairns9906 it still does build up decently. Tried it a while back
I don't understand how you build up the limit break for Sephiroth so fast... 😢
Build up his triangle gauge, where it says Telluric Fury. Then press circle and hit triangle.
@@akhafasu I'll try, thanks!
@@Runehise great. Lemme know if you need any help
that is my issue too... for some reason sephi always dodges is some random direction or the attack doesn't land... not sure what the controls are for dodge on how to control it. Kind of wish they let you toy around with sephi a bit more than what they do...
@@michaelhanson5773 Try locking in with R3
Anyone notice that the music is from FF16?
You’re welcome ;)
Edit: I don't know if I can walk through the wall yet I'm about to find out on my next run I thought it was a full barrier I feel like I have no idea what's going on because these flights are making me so goddamn focused I can't just step back and look at the bigger picture.
This asshole literally split the field and cloud and sephiroth were on two separate sides so I'm using shift / from behind a fucking wall and then he uses temporal imprisonment on sephiroth on one side of the wall in cleves me down he was at 25% health this is such a fucking bullshit dude I hate this shit I don't even know why they had to make challenges like this without a fucking goddamn fucking checkpoint I'm so fucking pissed I've been doing this for weeks or months and I've taken a couple of breaks for a few days or maybe a week at one point.
I appreciate your help with bahamut though I just have to learn to get all the way to the end and have enough MP for manawall X2 and reraise. It's really weird that Odin doesn't die fast because I remember in rulers of the outer worlds I took that guy down with four fire spells Max
I know I will beat it but I don't want it to be some kind of shaky angry crazy psychotic barely made it type of thing I can definitely practice against the Odin in the simulator so that's a plus

Yes. Simply because our boi Sephiroth is OP

If you don’t deal enough damage, he will get more powerful until eventually… Zantetsuken
Wait...manuscripts increase base stats?
Yup. They increase weapon levels:
Base stats, materia slots and links, new abilities etc. So, if you were to get them you’ll see everything that you’ll get when you level up by getting the next manuscript.
@@akhafasu I know they do all that. What I mean to say is, I have one slot left on some characters folios. I need 20-25 SP to finish them. Will obtaining 10 SP increase base stats even without filling a slot?
