Ignore the left side. Keep summoning sword and shield units on the right with 1 cleric. Once you knock out the right tower they will mob the center. Summon Cloud and Tifa at the same time, put a ballista down in the rear and it’s over. This had me so frustrated but this strategy finished him off with over a minute left
This comment alone is the fastest way to beat this. I tried following the video and you have to time things just right. I kept losing at the last second when he would freeze Tifa and Cloud. The strat in this comment finished Gilgamesh in half the time as this video.
Actually superb strategy. Only thing I'll add is to put 1 archer on the left once the two units have locked on to your left tower (so your archer doesn't get targeted). This will ensure you kill the units on the left and push the line of defense out enough for you to drop Cloud/Tifa tgt on top of the enemies in the right lane.
I didn't like fort Condor in this version of the game. No assassin's boards, no altering troops and no gaining more. They really limited it for some reason, I'm just glad I got it over and done with
They ruined the original condor mini game. I loved it on OG FF7, now we have this BS. The timer is the dumbest thing. Does not allow for defensive play. This simplified crappy version of the original is the worst thing about rebirth
Thanks for this guide finally beat him. The other 3 stages were fine and enjoyable but the final stage was cancer. Often times so many of my units left and still couldn't make in time. Why don't just let the units be customizable like in integrade...
Fuck me, I've been stuck on this for about 3 hours now and counting - this cunt keeps stunning all my units when he's got about 2 shots left to kill and then time hits o v e r i t
Worked great. Elite enforcer on the right, ignoring the left, cloud to finish off the flying mob, and just battering the boss with trebuchets at the end was key
Took me an hour to do this, then have hard mode a chance assuming I'd get wrecked, and beat it in the first attempt with 45 seconds left. Spawn Cloud and Tifa together, build a 4 deep line of ballista directly in front of the Captain. Make 2 clerics to keep Cloud & Tifa alive. Murder.
Tip: one of the recent patches added a 'decrease difficulty' option for the Fort Condor fights. Press L3 when selecting units before the fight to enable it.
The difficulty spike in this part came out of nowhere 😭. When i saw him use stop and the clock winding down i was like "no way!" Only managed by at 0.8 seconds 😂
This was the only thing I couldn't stand in the whole entire game. It was nightmare fuel! Thanks for making this video! I can finally continue with the main story in peace now.
Awhhhh.....not Chadley. C-Biscuit? C-Dizzle?? Chatistic??? S'all guud..I agree with you about this being a bad mini game. Feels like a gotcha game kinda. I think it's a step down from intermission cuz at least then you had more options and were able to freely pick your pieces instead of just four slates of fixed shit.
did they patch the fights or is there RNG involved? i really try to copy that video as accurate as possible. but where your enemies get defeated, my enemies defeat my attackers and crawl on my territory forcing me into a defensive position.
RNG, like a lot of the other minigames; there hasn't been a patch yet for anything since the game is pretty much functional save for the garishly soft image quality in Performance mode
Omg thank you so much!! I'd been stuck on this for hours and I followed this guide exactly and won straight off first time! This mission sucks so much!
Duuuuuude thank you!! I followed your every move and it got me the victory! I tried this battle so many times! Why did they make this so infuriatingly difficult?!
After almost 15 attempts I caved and looked up this video. Ignoring the left side (for the most part) and switching Barrett for Tifa helped alot. Also recommend saving a Cleric until you set up your Trebuchets/Ballistas on the commander bc their magic heals any damage they might take. Thanks for the tips man
I skipped the ballista spawn at the beginning and played more blue and red troops instead and it seemed to work out better for me. Thanks for the guide!
The Elite Ranger at 1:07 NEVER advances, he turns around and wastes time on the lion thing. Why won't he avance for me? And why do people swear by this foemati9n when it seems to be the worst one possible based on my performances with other formations?
I attempted to follow this second by second but the script is nowhere near this. You're advancing while I'm being pushed back, despite following this exactly
Thank you so much for this. Seriously! I followed your tactics a few times and nearly made it but ran out of time. I tried the final time starting top right with elite enforcer. Then followed the same pattern for a while as you, then spammed elite vanguard at around the 1 min 30 mark. Finally did it that time round. JFC this level was horrid 😂
F this mini game. The timer makes it not fair. I kept losing to the clock vs anything else. Thanks for this, it helped a ton. Spawned tifa and cloud plus some archers and ballista’s and he went down quick
Thank you so much for this! I really struggled with this and eventually ended up having to go through multiple different walkthroughs, still always failing. Luckily this one finally went through (with 12 seconds to spare). 😅
So annoying, i legit got to him with 5-6 units on my 2nd attempt but he used stop and the timer ran out. All they have to do is remove that as part of his move list and the difficulty drops tremendously
Thanks for this. This battle was completely awful because Gilgamesh keeps changing between attack, defense and ranged, and the stupid stop magic if you get too close >_>. Finally cleared it thanks to this video.
Thanks for this. Had to follow your video to the letter to get though Hard Mode, although the last battle seemed impossible to replicate, some things always went down differently half way through it. Managed to scrape by on the last seconds with Barret and the clerics finishing off the boss. That time stop has to be the most BS thing I've seen in a while. Preventing you from playing the game, in a time-based minigame no less, is just the polar opposite of fun.
Once you manage to get closer to the comander and he focus on beating your pawns, put some catapult in front of him (at distance clearly) so the catapult will keep damaging Him even when you pawns are stopped
Man, thank you so much. This one was seriously kicking my ass. The last 30 seconds or so didn’t turn out like you had it, but it got me close enough to just stacking ballistas. 🙏
Thanks for this, the time stop in the last phase was killing me, and I couldn't figure out how to get enough units to him in time to wait it out before they could attack again.
I used the same team, but I ended up putting a ton of ballistas and trebuchets in front of Gilgamesh while having a group attack with Tifa and take advantage of her Haste buff, but I barely made it, as I never realized I could safely ignore the left side.
I agree with everyone here, so far this part has been the only thing I’ve hated. Thank you for the play through, cuz I was running into getting stopped and wiped every damn time regardless of how well I performed.
Thank you for this. I was dreading the inclusion of this minigame since the DLC. And now it’s here. The most unfun sidequest and sadly, a requirement for platinum. I cannot imagine anyone who likes this
Yeah this game mode sucks ass. The DLC version was so much better. I'm trying to platinum it too and tbh the mini games is what's making me second guess that goal. You have to complete every minigame with the high scores and I'm dreading the idea of it
I followed this guide to a tee and i have to say thankyou for this guide this battle was some bullshit, i finished with 0:00:29 sec. Left but still the guide worked
It took me two tries using your strategy. I’m not sure what happened the first time, I must have missed a step. The second time I was careful to watch the timer as you spawned everything.
I followed your steps all the way up to summoning Cloud and they advance the captain, then I freestyled and finished with exactly 00:01:30 left on the click
I followed this exactly, but no dice; however, the first time I came close by defeating him right at 0:00, which the game translated as my defeat (I let some choice words fly). After several unsuccessful attempts, I tried a suggestion below via ignoring the left side and sending shield/sword units with a cleric, then a ballista. This worked first try, but I had seconds left (not a minute). After all that, the game unlocks Hard Mode for Fort Condor. Like it wasn't hard enough! No thanks...

You are a god among men sir.
This actually worked like a charm! Boss move!

Yeah fuck this fight

I've tried everything and I'm like 3 seconds too late, pissing me off SO much

@@davidmasters8601 yep no more sudden death shocked me, the few times I got close to winning the time would run out. How silly
Thank you for releasing me from Fort Condor hell. I am free.
just wait until remake part 3 where you have to play 10 rounds of fort condor for the huge materia quest
@@yourehereforthatarentyouwas it confirmed?😢😢😢
You're welcome. I'm glad my strat worked for you! 👍
@@teoregus5394 obviously a joke...
until it actually happens
@@teoregus5394it's likely to happen if they continue to follow the main story beats.
I got the boss to like 1HP a dozen or so times and every time he would just use stop and I’d sit there frozen for the last 10 seconds
Me too! Adding a trebuchet or five at the end was what finally won it for me
@@laurelt9038thank u so much bro, trebuchet did the trick at first try, i did this like 15 times before that
This was actual cancer
Ballistas for the win, I threw about ten down within the last minute and finished it with 7 seconds left lol
@@Afterlife_777this did the trick for me too,thanks for the comment. I was seething up to that point 😂

This was such an awful experience. Who the hell playtested this?
nobody
😂@@yourehereforthatarentyou
I ask myself this question so many times in this game...
its called a challenge
@@stephensturges5711 nothing challenging about tedious minigames, annoying is the word you're looking for
Worked great. Elite enforcer on the right, ignoring the left, cloud to finish off the flying mob, and just battering the boss with trebuchets at the end was key
Using this strat worked for me. Thanks
This was it for me after 10+ fucking times. I really dont understand why they would put these God-forsaken fights in the game.
Legend
I only beat the 4th battle cause of this comment right here. Lol
Thanks for this comment. Saved me. ❤

My hero!
Did this just now...thank you
Yeeees it work for me too ! I add 5 ballista 😂 win with almost 30s left haha
Hard Mode seems easier because you really gotta think about what to place and placements
Yet you left out everything you did before you could summon them.
thank you. this could've used more time in the oven clearly

Thanks bro. Followed this video EXACTLY and the battle played out identical. Spent over an hour on this fight. THANK YOU!
This was the only thing I couldn't stand in the whole entire game. It was nightmare fuel! Thanks for making this video! I can finally continue with the main story in peace now.
Thank you so much! I had tried so many different teams and had nearly given up hope but you got me through it! Appreciate you so much!
this minigame battle is the worst thing Square Enix has created, and we are talking about a game with Chadley in it
Awhhhh.....not Chadley.
C-Biscuit?
C-Dizzle??
Chatistic???

Yeah I've run this strat 5 times and in no way does it get close to this success
This video didn’t work for me either but I think it’s also based on luck I finally did it on myself after like 2hours
Omg thank you so much!! I'd been stuck on this for hours and I followed this guide exactly and won straight off first time! This mission sucks so much!
Thank you, I had to improvise at the end but I’d not have been able to do it without your guide.
Thank-you! 1st guide ive seen for this battle that works
Duuuuuude thank you!! I followed your every move and it got me the victory! I tried this battle so many times! Why did they make this so infuriatingly difficult?!
This one definitely worked. Followed the placement exactly, sometimes 2-4 seconds behind. Finished it with 06s:57ms to go. Much appreciated.
Thanks for this. I can finally go back to enjoying the rest of the game now!
Thanks again for the vid! Followed your basic strategy (with minor changes made in the heat of battle) and won first try 🎉
Thank you very much! This fight was insanely hard compared to the previous ones.
After almost 15 attempts I caved and looked up this video. Ignoring the left side (for the most part) and switching Barrett for Tifa helped alot. Also recommend saving a Cleric until you set up your Trebuchets/Ballistas on the commander bc their magic heals any damage they might take. Thanks for the tips man
This is the way.
Srsly, I’ve been though about ten guides and 40 battles and this is the only one that’s worked. Thanks OP.
Thank you so much bro. I was on this for 2 days until I saw this. Can’t thank you enough bro.
I skipped the ballista spawn at the beginning and played more blue and red troops instead and it seemed to work out better for me.
Thanks for the guide!
THANK YOU!!!! Was stuck on this for 2 hours! What a pain
I have different starting units than you... why? F.e. I just have Vanguard instead of Elite Vanguard... why??
Thanks for throwing this vid out. This was basically the only way I could clear this.
The Elite Ranger at 1:07 NEVER advances, he turns around and wastes time on the lion thing. Why won't he avance for me? And why do people swear by this foemati9n when it seems to be the worst one possible based on my performances with other formations?
I attempted to follow this second by second but the script is nowhere near this. You're advancing while I'm being pushed back, despite following this exactly
Thank youu for the guidee! It's working for me. I finally am released from this hell. But there's another hard mode
I followed the video closely but I happened to add I think an extra ranger to the right, and a couple more in the center, and finished at 1:17:88
Thank for the guide I thought I was losing my damn mind. Great work.
your the best! followed ya video and had 45 secs to spare! kudos✌🏽😁

Ty man you saved my life there was doing this fight all night basicly
Managed to beat this horrible stage following this video. Thank you, you saved me from a lot of frustration.
Thanks, I tried other guides but still failed, thanks for this, it was driving me nuts, thankfully it's over now with your guide 👍👌
Thank you sooooo much for this saves me figuring out methods 😂 had 1 minute left

Thank you so much. This last fight was a pain.
For anyone who finds this... used cloud/barret... first set with both ranks on each type. Used cloud when bird came out to kill it asap
this video helped a lot, beat it with almost 1 min to spare by pausing and copying, thanks
Thank you man, your videos help me lot
Thank you for the tutorial. This battle was frustrating to say the least
This is the most ludicrous difficulty spike in the series since those goddamn lightning tower calibrations in Final Fantasy X-2

Thank you for this. I was stuck here.
Obrigado pelo vídeo, consegui passar graças a ele, esse minigame é completamente injusto e espero que seja corrigido numa futura atualização
Thank you for these videos! I like Fort Condor but these were a bit much
So you place them around randomly like I've been doing?
Thank you!! This mission was terrible. I enjoyed the other ones but this strat was perfect.
had to redo this fight a lot of times until the rng decided it was good enough for my first elite ranger to not just die and mess up everything
Thank you so so much!!!!!!
You saved me from this trap 😂😂😂
Not even Miyazaki had been able of frustrating me so much in a game.
Fucking Fort Condor.
Quick tip
Set the game to easy so that way you build up a ATB a lot faster (This also works in the hard mode variance of FC)
Thank you SO much, I finally beat this stupid thing. The first 3 rounds weren’t too bad but this was just AWFUL.
Once again, the trebuchet proves itself as the best weapon of war ever invented
