I've had to step back from this game a few times for my own mental health for how frustrated I was with challenges like this, but thank you for posting these guides as they have saved me time and trouble so far for the last three trophies I need for the platinum! (I give MAJOR props to Square for putting as much effort into Rebirth as possible, but I feel they've overdone these trophies and achievements to point of making them a chore after a full normal mode story playthrough)
Whoever was in charge of the hard mode side content is really twisted. The main story on hard was difficult but fair, cant say the same about some of the combat sims
after MANY hours of grinding materia and items and gear n whatnot, after trying out different ways to ease my way to hard mode stuff that didn’t really work as much as they claim, THIS build is the most efficient it was such a relieving feeling finally beating this challenge after many times of trying different ways
Just want to tell you I passed this challenge with your build, have been stucked in the 9th fight for a month so I can't be more thankful with you. You are amazing!
Thank you, from one youtuber to another, dont stop posting videos, you help more people than you know, i was about to quit, one plat journey said not to look up guides, your get it eventuallly which may be true, eventually but there is no like you, i just couldnt do this myself, i died once but got it my second try pretty easily, keep doing you, i know i n everyone else appreciates you n that your actually trying to help n not just tell us stupid stuff or n the comments, your replying n helping, keep it up!
For anyone who wants to play for fun and not end the fights under a second 😂 equip Magnify paired with Cleansing and also First Strike on one character. Cast Resist at the beginning of each round. Always have 1 ATB ready for that character to recast it again when Resist wears off. The annoying part of this challenge is the detrimental status effects poison, silence, toad and petrify. If you can avoid those, the rounds are bit more manageable. Have everyone with Revival just in case. Thanks to Optinoob's guide on the Red XIII's legendary bout, I found the usefulness of the Cleansing materia. Thanks Optinoob! 😇
For those on chapter 13, first playthrough, I substituted Cait Sith with Yuffie, weapon I used was crystalline cross (cause it gives the debuff extension weapon skill. The other 3 skills I used were magic attack power +20 x2 and max HP +200). I used the enhanced yggdrasil Armlet on her because I haven't visited the temple of the ancients yet and I used the Hades Armlet on Cloud and the Valkyrian bangle on Aerith. For Cloud's weapon I used the Rune Blade cause I didn't obtain the Slipstream saber yet. Being that I used the Rune Blade the weapon skills I used were magic attack power+20, attack power+20, limit break damage +10% and ATB charge rate up. Everything else I used from what u saw in the video and it worked first try. Thanks Optinoob for the strat once again.
Beat everything first try with this loadout and strat, you rock my dude! Carried me through Remake Top Secrets & now carrying me through Rebirth Brutal Challenges - absolute legend 🙏
Not attempted yet as off to bed but thanks in advance, your guides got me through horizon and now all these challenges. Clear and concise instructions as always
Square if your are reading this, make it so you can change equipment from the VR menu!! So annoying you have to back out all the way to make any change to set up
Thank you so much for this bro!! I literally had deleted my game at one point with how annoying these brutals were more because I felt like it was more annoying than fun. I used a variant of your build but subbed out Cait for Yuffie and let Aerith do the stop and meteor job while Yuffie dealt element and cloud did the rock spam and I floored the challenge!!! Can’t say it enough your guide videos are awesome!!
Wow, man. Thanks so much for putting this on the internet. My Cait Sith is unavailable due to KEY(stone) story beats, so I slotted in Yuffie. Worked like a charm. Cheers! 🍻
This challenge near the last few rounds was a bit rough. Cait Sith was Earthbound but I luckily have a limit break to kill the Grandhorn. And at round 10 Aerith was killed by the sandspitter after I killed all the other enemies. Used punisher mode, then a Quaga. But I got thru this on my 1st try
Awesome video here’s a tip for anybody who’s keen to use the extra materia slots you have give us put a few revivals on a couple of them it got pretty messy at the last few and saved me from having to start over
Great build. I just beat this challenge with your build. The one thing I would add is to prepare for the ostrich in round 8. It turned cloud into a frog the first two times for me. I was able to mitigate this by putting cloud in the second slot. That was he starts on the right side. He was juuuuusst far enough away to cast quake before he could be turned into a frog a third time.
A couple false starts (and one super frustrating run where the f'ing bladefin just wouldn't be blocked) but this solved it! Thanks so much yet again for the guide. I love your Time Stone hack! Can't believe it took me this long to realise that a) Quake is amazing b) you can stack materia!
Only thing i got left are Hard Mode and now working on these my man! 2 down after this one. Your guides are working wonders so far just like Remake did! I had to redo this challenge cuz that ostrich in Round 8 used a frog spell on my party during Quake spell, but didnt on the 2nd attempt. Onto the next ones boss!
I struggled with this fight so much. That savage grandhorn or the petrifying jellyfish just kept ruining my runs one way or the other. With this strategy both essentially died in seconds! Thank you so much! The devs really managed to make a fun experience incredibly frustrating.
Optinoob, thank you. Your guides are well explained, easy to understand, and do not require superhuman speed in navigating the battle menus. I beat this challenge on the 2nd try. Thank you.
Ive found an even easier way. Stick all your cloud materia on yuffie. have her as the leader start with dopple ganger first strike switch to Aerith arcane ward first strike switch back to yuffie send out shurikin mash square to get an atb then atb boosst for 2 bars then quakiga. if they dont all die from the first you get you atb back from atb stagger and just spam it.
Damn, really appreciate these builds. I really want the platinum and there's only these challenges(and the enemy skill cuz I haven't assessed everything) left but they seemed so daunting. I would have tried to min max myself but in a game where there's no one size fits all OP build like so many others I really have to rely on these strategy guides.
Nice work with materia builds. Best fun this game has is the fun builds... Thanks! Wow, I can't believe this I was wondering when I would find something quake worked best for quake and well here it is... I was stuck on battle 9 of 10 and well takes 8 min leastways to get there.. Thanks a million!
This build is super clean, definitely gonna give it a crack after levelling up swiftcast and magic focus materia. But first im gonna do the box minigame in shinra manor. Thank you for the guide!
when i was equipping this build on my team i was thinking "what am i doing?... "time materia" 4x on cait sith???" but then i entered into battle... OH BOY brilliant job, sir 😉
Great guide I didnt have everything maxxed but with the stuff I did have I normally only needed to follow up with clouds limit break in order to breeze through this
Managed to get this on my second try. The Tonberries got me the first time. They almost wiped my party the second time. Cait Sith just dancing around with a Bladesplitter because I didn't bother to throw a revival on him in my second try.
@optinooby who do i use in replace of Cait Sith if im playing chapter 13 (1st playthrough with no chapter select) at level 70 with all my materia maxed including the 5 you get from Gilgamesh island (swiftcast, reraise, limit support, etc). I have everything in the video besides Cait Sith and the saber Cloud has (Im using Rune from your Army of the Dead video). Im assuming Rune or Igneous will suffice.
I'm glad you added Comet Synergy. Is it important? Not really But since she's a body and you're trying to nuke with Cloud she can just spend whatever time after Arcane Ward to just give you that insurance nuke. I notice in the first fight I just let her rock it since I'd been using it anyways. Its not the most helpful but it has pilled on damage or stunted targets to that limits won't miss and so forth
Even better is pairing Petrify to Yuffie and hitting arcane ward on Yuffie followed by Yuffie hitting doppelganger ATB boost followed with maximum Petrify double doubled 😉
Amazing builds mate. Quick question, how does Cait have an ATB full at the start? Is that something I have missed? Admittedly my weapon levels and party levels aren’t max yet.
@@Optinooby That's on Aerith. I stupidly had the cape AND First Strike on her which was causing my issue. Self inflicted. Thank you for the videos. Now onto the Platinum (hopefully) 😂
I have finished the Shadow Queen's blood card and bahamut card it was not easy but I beat that opponent cuz it was so RNG that opponent plays that card
The one time I finally got thru round 9 round 10 was the end. Brutal man. I might give it another try and then I'm going to have to copy one of these builds
I'm legit only on hellion 3 damned weeks later I hate these fights. It's as hard as fighting emerald weapon on white terror and death wheel just as quick deaths. They clearly don't understand the legendary difficulty should be that hard not brutal. It sucks having to use a specific build to cheese the fight because you are an adult who wants to go to work to make money and survived there's no variability in any hard fights. Hate it. The one right before this was okay but this one is ridiculous they always put extremely hard fights so far and that you have to start all the way over tediously doing the same fight after I got the secret summon the entire game has just become tedious and it just makes me angry I wish I could play and enjoy it again but that won't happen. Just a slog now. Thanks either way.
Fuck Square Enix. They made a horrible challenge where Savage Grandhorn uses Earthbound to completely soft lock your party until they lose all their HP. They made this challenge completely unplayable.
The 5th and 9th round are the tricky ones for me. My materia isn't max but with both first strike materia max one in cloud one on aerith and a ABT boost accessory on aerith I just got cloud with arcane ward then cloud uses his double ATB thing with one maybe two level 2 quakes I and that dealt with most. Nearly lost a few times and I did get silenced and frogged but I managed to do it. I'm hoping this strat works until the gotterandam reward one but I guess I can work cloud as the magic attacker with aerith and Barret as support
Weird how do you have that materia slot for Iron Megaphone. Wait never mind. Had to do a crash course. This is the problem with getting Cait so late and then losing him. His folio gains aren't as prevalent so they snuck and colosseum folio into one of the the post game advance matches. He literally needed ONE more folio to reach LV8 so that the Iron Megaphone would recieve all of its benefits. Just...*sigh*
I think the build here maybe that, just freeze all enemies instantly for 10 seconds and then Quake them all!!! For bosses though, you use Gotterdammerung. The person freezing, put HP > MP on them so they have 6000 MP ;)
ok I'm confused. I managed to do the last challenge with Aerith and only having a whistlewind scarf (I don't have chocoking cape) and I had 1 full bar of ATB at the start, yet when I do this one I don't.....why??
I don't have my materia maxed and I honestly don't think I'll come back to the game because I want get the genji gloves first before continuing the vr fights. Problem is I hate the minigames so I'll leave the game December when they'll be nothing new I want to play. I need to figure out how to block incase I can't get used to the petrify cheese build which I do like
I'm back here again summary of brutal battles: you have to cheese every single fight because they didn't think to give you more than one or two options for builds so the fun is sucked right out of it that's how I'm feeling Anthony weeks ago was feeling the same way
Man your video was helpful but I had to change the speed change the speed back and forth of this video because you go through some materia way to fast and on some materia you wait 20 sec.
Hi Opti, just noticed a patch today, does it nerf or screw up any of your strats? I'm going to click "update later" to be safe, but would love to hear your opinion if I should update or not.
@@Optinooby Thanks for the quick reply! I will hold off on updating just in case. Was hoping they might have adjusted the difficulty down a bit for hard/brutal/legendary etc. but it seems that it is mostly about lighting, performance sharp mode, stuff like that from what I have read. Currently farming to get my Swiftcast maxed, then will have another go at this challenge. ;)
It kinda works for me, but I only have 1 time materia so I don't have one for magnify and it sometimes misses some enemies. Can't quite complete it yet, but also my other materias aren't maxed too.
@@Optinooby Found it in chapter 10, but round 9 still kills me with the binding. I think Cloud needs higher magic still. Round 5 is a bit of a pain too. I'll keep working on it though. Thanks for the strat!
I've had to step back from this game a few times for my own mental health for how frustrated I was with challenges like this, but thank you for posting these guides as they have saved me time and trouble so far for the last three trophies I need for the platinum!

I would have liked a Materia Master Trophy for those who maximize their materia and mastard one of everything.
Been stuck for 4 days. I have a job i cant do this insta death after 9 damned rounds. 12 hours on this. It is NOT FUN anymore but im stuck on it. God.
@@supersaiyanzero386 Did you level up your materias to the max? it is not enough to just use the build.
Whoever was in charge of the hard mode side content is really twisted. The main story on hard was difficult but fair, cant say the same about some of the combat sims
AMEN
As cheesy as this game can get, I feel no guilt whatsoever cheesing it right back. Thank you for the guide!
the “Stop Earth” build
The day the Earth stood still
Just with this load out. I didn't have maxed materia made this challenge trival I didn't even come close to dying what an amazing build guide

I didn't know you could stack the same materia multiple times on 1 character with different linked materias
Oh wow, you've been missing out. 😅
Ya, been a thing since OG FF7. The unfair builds you could make were delicious.
Wow how dumb are you?
Game changer knowledge for me, 200 hrs without knowing

Greatest guides on these fights! First time again! Love you dude!
Sephiroth getting PTSD watching Cloud destroy everything in seconds.
Brilliant build sir… I got this during my 1st play through with bit worse equipments. Still extremely comfy to wipe out the mobs with ease. Bravo 🎉
Square if your are reading this, make it so you can change equipment from the VR menu!! So annoying you have to back out all the way to make any change to set up
Same as last guide, this strat made the challenge an absolute cake walk. Thanks again!
Great guide, great strat. Cleared on my first try with this. Never thought of using materia like this. Awesome 👏🏿
These challenges and hard mode is all I need for Plat so I will just follow along as you upload these. Thx for the amazing guides.
your strategy helped me massively I been at this challenge for days!!!!!
OH MY GOD YOURE THE GOAT!!! Saved my ass from a ton of anger and made this whole battle straight hilarious!!!! Thank you for all that you do!!!!
Good show this worked really well . The safety bit helped with the tomberry towards the end
Thank you so much for this bro!! I literally had deleted my game at one point with how annoying these brutals were more because I felt like it was more annoying than fun.

Thank you thank you thank you! This guide helped me so much! The brutal and legendary fights don't seem so out of reach now! Onward to the next one!
The way you say “straight away “ is awesome 👏
This was perfect. I didn't even finish using your set up. I just added magnified quake 3 and stop. That was enough to decimate the competition.
Wow, man. Thanks so much for putting this on the internet. My Cait Sith is unavailable due to KEY(stone) story beats, so I slotted in Yuffie. Worked like a charm. Cheers! 🍻

I have everything in the video besides Cait Sith and the saber Cloud has (Im using Rune from your Army of the Dead video). Im assuming Rune or Igneous will suffice.
just improvise the best ya can say mate

I notice in the first fight I just let her rock it since I'd been using it anyways. Its not the most helpful but it has pilled on damage or stunted targets to that limits won't miss and so forth
Pro tip stack atb boost on Aerith and give her the Petrify materia build, start battle with arcane ward, atb boost, followed up with Petrify doubled 😉
Even better is pairing Petrify to Yuffie and hitting arcane ward on Yuffie followed by Yuffie hitting doppelganger ATB boost followed with maximum Petrify double doubled 😉
Wow. This is amazing. Manged to finally get through this. Thanks

Wait never mind. Had to do a crash course. This is the problem with getting Cait so late and then losing him. His folio gains aren't as prevalent so they snuck and colosseum folio into one of the the post game advance matches. He literally needed ONE more folio to reach LV8 so that the Iron Megaphone would recieve all of its benefits. Just...*sigh*
Thank you for the build, Can you make a general hard mode build? one build to rule then all
I think the build here maybe that, just freeze all enemies instantly for 10 seconds and then Quake them all!!!
For bosses though, you use Gotterdammerung.
The person freezing, put HP > MP on them so they have 6000 MP ;)
Much love mate! ❤
ok I'm confused. I managed to do the last challenge with Aerith and only having a whistlewind scarf (I don't have chocoking cape) and I had 1 full bar of ATB at the start, yet when I do this one I don't.....why??
Starting ATB is a little random

Man your video was helpful but I had to change the speed change the speed back and forth of this video because you go through some materia way to fast and on some materia you wait 20 sec.
So basically the technique for this stage 2 can also be known as StopaQuake !
Unfortunately most of the materia i have to use are at the first level and it's much harder to do it 😭
I’m sure it’s been explained but why not fill the 8th materia slot on Cloud’s armor with anything even like HP Up or MP Up?
you can do so if u wish
love this build!
