Very well put together video, this is the first time Ive had to seek help with anything in this game, its my last one to do and I ran out of time on the boss at the end twice, maybe its time to finally dumb myself down and equip one of the cheat rings, I just want to finish to story.
Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful! I think the rings can be quite useful with this trial as there's so much happening and attacks are often coming from behind you while you focus on another enemy. I liked the Timely Focus one as it gives you more time to react to things but you still have to do the dodge yourself. If you are after completing the story, I'ld say give one of these rings a go, and you can always redo the trial in the Arete stone and try it without the ring.
@@lanah_tyra I destroyed the trial just by using the charge + 4 hit combo repeatedly, that was the only tip I needed haha. Ive reached the stage where I find the combat so repetitive that I just did the full omega DLC with that timely ring equipped. Sounds like FF mode will improve the combat so I just wanna get to that.
@CraigEmpson yeah it's impressive how far the simple charge combo can get you 😂 I don't do hard mode usually but really liked FF mode in this one. Need to get back into it and finish my platinum, but still playing through Rebirth.
Thank you for this video. Ring of timely focus definitely made this feel like easy mode. I don't need to time any of my dodge, blocks, or counters because of it. And FF mode is the hardest mode, right? If so, then it doesn't matter if you have the ring of timely foucus because I'm breezing through all the trials thanks to it.
I'm glad you found it useful :) Yes FF mode is the hardest. I'm sure there are people who love the challenge of completing it without the timely ring and use more skill specific accessories instead, but if you just want to complete it and you are bad at dodging like me, then the timely ring is amazing.
@@lanah_tyra I completed titan trial without the ring. That's before I found this video. But the Phoenix trial was literally impossible without it because of the cannon guy. But because of the ring, I didn't have to keep my eyes on him or anyone else. I just finished the game yesterday on final fantasy mode. The game overall is pretty easy without the ring. But it's pretty hard to complete the trials without it.
@@thai33oz Titan is not my favourite, I'm more the caster type so I prefer Bahamut. Struggled a lot with Titan XD And I agree the canon guy at Phoenix is very annoying
Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful! I used the Ring of Timely Focus as I'm not the best with dodge timing, The Breath of Fire (Heatwave) and The Breath of Fire (Flames of Rebirth) for cooldown redaction.
You need a flying enemy for it. Use the Eikon ability Phoenix Shift (the one which dashes you to the enemy, circle on the default controller layout) and while you dash use magic attack(triangle on the default controller layout). You have to do it twice to get the time bonus. It was one of the tricky ones to get, during my normal runs on the trial, I didn't even get to do this, as I was usually focusing on the easier techniques. I had to specifically focus on doing it for the recording. So unless you want to get the time bonus for all techniques used in a run, I wouldn't stress too much about it.
Launch an enemy a flying enemy works fine. Or do a charged magic shot on a downed enemy to launch them. Then do phenix shift and press ur magic button and hold it for a charged magic shot. U can also do phoenix shift and press magic and then press and hold it again if ur high up so u don't miss the relaunch The shift shot in the air will spike them to the ground and then the charged magic shot will launch them back up. Then do Phoenix shift and press magic again to spike them and u can even do another charged magic shot to relaunch them but u cant do another Phoenix shift. Instead do a downthrust. This is good during the stage with the cannon dude. In ff mode final trials there is two birds and the cannon guy opens with the charge and his normal fire spells won't hit u while u just yo yo the flyers for easy kills. U can also do this against the first boss. The Garuda one on final trials After she does specific attacks she kinda rises a little bit. That's when u can do the double shift u don't even need to charge shot after u can just stomp and do another one. It's also a good time on the first boss Guarda to use the rising ability during this stage to get both finishers if the boss is almost dead. Against normal small enemies u can do burning blade in the air to launch them even if they are not downed and then stomp into the shift shot charged magic combo. Or if the target is knocked down u can do a charged magic shot to launch them. Then u can do ur normal stuff.
@@lanah_tyra I tried but it doesn't work, I press circle to dash towards a flying enemy and then I press triangle, then I dash again and press triangle again before touching the ground but nothing... I would like to try to use all the bonuses in the challenges to have extra seconds for the next phases.
@@Simon_Fenix it might be worth to try one of the other controller setups, as I noticed with the magic burst combo, that for me having to move my finger from circle to triangle, I was always late. Swapped it to the one where the magic is on L1. You could try that, and press the circle and L1 almost at the same time, very very quickly after each other.

Thanks for this guide, was having trouble racking up the time bonuses but was able to do this thanks to your video. Appreciate it 😁
Thank you, I'm glad it helped you complete the trial :)

I will be sure to give this strategy a go, what accessories did you use for this trial? Also I’ve subscribed to you.

Thank you.
Thank you, I'm glad you found the guide helpful
I think Mines may be broken cause more than a few times i caught the timer not giving me my time for my battle technique executions
Which battle technique have you trouble with? There were some where I thought I was doing it right but then turned out nope
@@lanah_tyra it's okay I've finally beaten it thanks
@@lanah_tyra is it okay if I send you a friend request on P.S.N if so what's your name
How does it work Double Shift?
You need a flying enemy for it. Use the Eikon ability Phoenix Shift (the one which dashes you to the enemy, circle on the default controller layout) and while you dash use magic attack(triangle on the default controller layout). You have to do it twice to get the time bonus.

The shift shot in the air will spike them to the ground and then the charged magic shot will launch them back up. Then do Phoenix shift and press magic again to spike them and u can even do another charged magic shot to relaunch them but u cant do another Phoenix shift. Instead do a downthrust.

Try do it on ff mode
Working on it! Was taking my time with ff mode so haven't got that far yet, but planning to do the trials on it as well.
