By far and away, the most overpowered ability in Final Fantasy 7 that can be accessed early is the fabled Beta Enemy Skill. This spell, once learned can inflict massive amounts of Fire damage to all enemies in battle and is powerful enough to one shot most random encounters for the forseeable future. Even bosses are going to struggle to match the player's party with Beta in the arsenal!
Of course, getting it early is often seen as tricky. It can only be learned from the very strong Midgar Zolom. However, with the correct setup its really quite simple :)

Beat this game 5 times and had no idea sadness reduced damage, neat
Same... Wild
Excellent stuff as always Simon
Thank you
Will miss tomorrows livestream but watch later
Wow I remember back in 98 I got this enemy skill on disc 2 and just got it in lvl 14 thanks to this guide.👍
Beta, combined with a high magic stat, is super for power-leveling in Junon (vs the secret disc 2 monsters you can fight when triggering the alarm). The sweeper type enemies are susceptible to mini, which leaves only Matra Magic as a threat, and the other guys are weak against fire. Low on mana? Just visit the Junon Inn, it's cheap, and has a save point.
Finally got it! Thanks for this.
first time he didnt use beta at all but second time worked a treat! thanks
Thanks, I got it first try with everyone being between level 18 and 20 in my party! :)
Thanks! I struggled to survive Beta so levelled up to 18. It's a great ability!
Worked like a charm! Got it first time thanks so much. I tried this once before but the method wasn’t nearly as easy as this
got the beta skill for the 1st time this is an awesome guide :)
Thank you! I have 10 attempts just to learn his beta
It took a couple of tries, but I managed to get the Beta skill. Good job on the video, it helped a lot. 👍
Amazing video! I've never beaten the Snake until much later on and never got Beta from it. I've played the game more than 20 times through since I was young and never knew this. Genius. Loving your content mate.
thanks for tutorials bruv :D
Watch this last night, About a dozen attempts, he uses beta then immediately attacks without giving time to heal every time
same problem ... no chance to heal cloud after beta lile in the vid... tries multiple times.
Hey, listen, you're explanations are simple and fast keep your videos the same way best of luck and bless you
The way I play is to get all of the Enemy Skills on all of the Enemy Skills Materia. So, since Beta can only be learned from the Midgar Zolom (I think), I wait until I have all 4 of the Enemy Skills Materia (all equipped by Cloud) to get it.
Dude that’s sick
Beta, White Wind, Big Guard. And you are good to go!
I grinded to level 26 for everybody to learn their 3rd limit break. I just spammed Planet Protector until I took no damage to get it 😭😭😭
I went back to junon right after golden saucer at about level 17, I got laser from deathclaw and made Barrett immune to fire with that one accessory that makes you immune to fire damage, I used laser 3 times and finished him off with a big shot
i read the first part of the video and thought it was about ff7r beta for the ps4! i screwed myself over on that one, too eager to read the rest! xD
im not better i thought he meant the item shinra-beta :D
Took me two attempts. Cloud survived Beta, but the snake attacked with it's bite attack before I could heal up. Oops xD
2nd time I ordered Cloud to Hi-Potion himself while the Beta animation was ongoing. And that did the trick.
I did everything *except* using the gravibals. I didn't even think to use those. It'll be much easier for me next time. Also, I recently learned that you'll want to select cure/hi potion on yourself before he starts his beta attack so that you'll heal yourself right afterward. The last time, I selected a hi potion on myself during his beta animation, and he immediately attacked me afterward.
sadness helped ALOT, thank you
You're welcome.
Enemy skill is by far the most important and fun to use materias in this game.
Playing through the game again. Currently in 2024 and I can't wait to get Big Guard ! And Beta will help get me there
threw 8 deadly waste items at zolom, none of them inflicted poison :) then graviballs till he ejected red xiii and cast beta, which i used then to finish him off. thanks, buddy!
lol! Thank you!
how can you cure so fast after teh enemy using beta ?
I manage to survive beta attack but when i want to cure that snake attacks me again leaving me dead.
I get to the end where it cast beta and clouds the last alive and then it attacks twice in a row before I can cast beta and I lose.
i did exactly the same but used Baratt to obtain. beta is so overpowered at this stage of the game so it can get u out of a tough spot :)
Hello Fuzz how are you today
Thought I knew almost everything about ff7, missed this enemy skill though. Cheers 👍🏻
Chocobuckle is well hidden as well. I would have never found it without a guide
Good video but personally I don't really bother with poison. I Just use sense materia so that I know how much HP the Zolom has left and I attack it with physical attacks and Ice magic (it's weakness), until it rears up. At this point I no longer use Cloud to attack to avoid being ejected and continue to attack until it's HP is less than about 800 at which point it will use Beta.
Graviballs are a neat idea, but Bio does plenty of hurt to that bugger too!
Also, up to this point in the game, Graviballs are only obtainable from the Deenglows in the Train Graveyard in Midgar. So make sure you farm for Deenglow encounters prior to leaving Midgar!!!
I'm following your guide, cloud is not doing any physical attacks at all, as soon as I get Beta he kicks me out
Hm I wrote guides for game in 1997 from what I remmber the set up is this level 15 plus you need aenemey skill and luck to not get kicked out elemental fire in ur armour the talisman to boost mgd put it on red13 he has the highest use poison and gravity balls or mantra magic go in with full limits using mindblow will cause him to not have enough magic to cast also he use it as a final attack also back row with the party you can use poison and wait as beta is normally a counter attack I beat the zolom at level 15 survived beta and cast it the second you get it if only 1 party member is left ur fucked as he will use a physical attack right after u can cheat this by saving a limit for aries as limits automatically cancel all action including enemy attacks boom done OR YOU CAN RUN RIGHT THROUGH with luck.
any suggestions for if you didnt get the Elemental materia early game? thanks
I think you're just gonna have to wait then, sorry. There's no way to increase your defenses enough to survive via resources without it.
Your only other option would be to power level.
I’m following the guide and not attacking w cloud but he still smacks him out right after he uses BETA before I can finish him.
I got to lv 15 right after you blow up the first reactor.
Weird glitch, I killed him and then it went to barrets flashback in corel, not sure why
That ending was awesome. I know I'm in the minority but I love FFXV.
I don't think you're in the minority. I too enjoyed FF XV greatly.
ShinGogeta yeah I have noticed there is a split between those who like remake better and those who like xv better. XV was my first FF in the modern era and it got me back in the swing of things and now I'm through all the games I missed over the years (7-14)! I actually like both remake and XV equally although the open world can be a little distracting I thought it was an incredible experience!
Where find Deadly Wastes ?
I had to grind to level 30 so beta wouldn't kill me. Yuffie is my Enemy Skill teammate and her Beta does 1500 right now :D
This is either very easy or a huge headache. It depends on the playthrough. On this playthrough, he will not stop following Beta with a physical attack. Gonna have to grind the grasslands for a few more levels. Ideally Cloud's HP needs to be above 600. Otherwise, you rely too much on luck.
So where can I get deadly waste and graviball items NOW if I don't already have much????
Deadly waste didn't poison him hahaha i tried poison materia too, didn't work.
Tried again, I poisoned him... but he tail whipped cloud, who i use with enemy skill, out of the fight.... I did EXACTLY everything you said.. I did not attack him once with cloud! this method did not work....
And so I kept trying, got him to cast beta, cloud survived but barely, then he IMMEDIATELY attacked again right after and killed cloud. Game over!
WTF!
I’ve used your tricks
1st attempt: he took cloud
2nd attempt: he took cloud (again)
3rd attempt: he took red xiii so i managed to win yay! however i used a different route, i had only one deadly waste and i put bio on cloud, and had two graviballs pretty much enough, simply your guide was a helpful way to obtain beta and defeat midgar zolom! thank you!
Because you used cloud to cast bio he "took" him as you framed it. dum dum dum dum dum.
@@lexilunke525 I learned it anyway
If you cast bio with cloud...that's why he is getting kicked out
@@yanceyboyz I noticed that later on
Can you use two enemy skill materia on one party member? I’ve had varied results with having one character with two ES Materia?
Depends on what you want to use it for.
If you are using ES to get Skills, then it's a bit tricky. If an ES is on one Materia but not the other, then the character will never learn the Skill for the other Materia. Thus, if you want to get all the Skills, you'll need to make sure that the Skill you are trying to get is not already on any of your currently equipped ES Materia.
In terms of using multiple ES Materia with the same Skills on them, there is no added effect.
tried this twice and he didnt use beta both times... plus on my second attempt he ejected 2 players and one didnt even hit him with anything lol, finally got him to use it on 3rd attempt... on the bright side i killed him 3 times in a row early game i guess xD
Same but takes ages I’m at level 58 on cloud and still don’t have it
@@scout_princess He ONLY USES "Beta" When He HITS BELOW "1000" HP(And IF You Don't "Kill" Him In The "Process"(It's Like A "FINAL COUNTERATTACK" But Not A "FINAL ATTACK")). AS Fuzz "Demonstrated"(AND As I "Explained", The BEST WAY To LEARN It Is As Follows:
1. GIVE The "Character" The "Enemy Skill" Materia That Doesn't Have "Beta" THAT, And Also PUT "Elemental-Fire" On His/Her "Armor", And ALSO PUT "Cure-All" On That Character(Equip That Character With A "Talisman" As Well). DO NOT GIVE That Character ANY OTHER "Magic" Materia, THAT Character SHOULD NOT Be Doing ANY DMG Against The "Midgar Zolom" And THUS, Should Be DOING NOTHING BUT Keeping The "Team" AT FULL HP. The REASON For That Is Because The "Midgar Zolom" Has A "Counter" To "DMG" Where He "Kicks Out" A "Character" When He GETS BELOW "50%" Of His "MAX HP". ONLY Your "Other 2" Characters Should Be DISHING OUT ALL The "DMG". Magic Like "Bio", "Quake", ETC. Works Well, And He's SUSCEPTIBLE To The "Poison" Status. IF You Got Some "GraviBalls" From Those "DeenGlows"(They DROP Them) In The "Train Graveyard" Earlier Like "Fuzz" Said, Those Are ALSO Effective"(He's SUSCEPTIBLE TO "Gravity"!).
2. EVERYONE Should Be In The "Back Row" AND In "Sadness" Status(THIS CUTS The "DMG" From The "Midgar Zolom's" Physical Attacks Down To LIKE "150").
3. Your MAIN GOAL Is To KEEP The "Character" With The "Enemy Skill" Materia AT FULL HP AT ALL TIMES While Your "Other 2" DISH OUT The "Damage" With "Everything" You Have(From "GraviBalls"(But DON'T USE ALL THEM Because They Are RARE), "Bio", "Quake", ETC.). EVENTUALLY, The "Midgar Zolom" Will RISE UP And Get "Angrier". KEEP UP The "Onslaught" UNTIL He "Kicks Out" ONE Of "Those", Then HAVE The "Other" That's REMAINING(While STILL KEEPING The "One" With The "Enemy Skill" Materia AT FULL HP) Dish Out The "Rest" Of The "Damage". He'll CAST "Beta" Shortly After. FROM THERE, You Can HEAL Your LAST STANDING CHARACTER With A "Hi-Potion" OR The "Cure" Spell And Then FINISH HIM With "Beta". IF He's "Poisoned", He'll ALSO TAKE "Gradual Damage"!
I had to get Aeris to her level 3 limit to beat that bastard. Planet protector. Got 0 damage. Never thought of using elemental linked with fire.
I think I got this much later in the game.
I reached this part without elemental materia 🙃
To decimate means to kill 1 of 10. Hence deci from Latin. When Rome would conquer an area they would decimate meaning to kill 1 of every ten men.
Interesting. Lots of our words today now have a very different meaning from their historical usage.
It was a punishment for the Roman Legions that displayed cowardice. They had 1 in every ten men in the legion killed by their comrades. Had nothing to do with conquering an area, was mostly a discipline measure in the legions.
I have had the Midgar Zolom eject party members that haven't attacked him before. It has almost seemed random at times.
I'm surprised you didn't at least have restore materia on the other two. Each part member having restore makes this fight much easier.
I usually just wait a little while to learn this skill. You can get a HP Plus materia from Junon, and then a fire ring at Costa Del Sol. When you get the buggy back and return with these equipted Zolom isn't nearly as intimidating. Not to mention, you'll have learned Lazer with two enemy skills at that point. That is easier than farming graviballs
To me it is worth waiting a little while to learn Beta. It cost to much MP early game, and Matra Magic is effective at weakening enough early game to get you through enough battles to return prepared
I only have one restore materia right now, but as you can see with the right setup that shouldn't be a problem. A few people on Gamefaqs have noted that his eject seems to have some kind of random element to it, but that must be a bug as far as I know.
He jsut keeps using a swipe as soon as he finishes beta and kills me I have heal selected legit like RIGHT before he does beta so why isn't cloud using it??? I have the elemental materia in my bangle and the talisman equipped + cloud is sad WHY Won't it work like 20 attempts in I just want to get everything when i first can
I do believe if the person with beta gets ejected, you don't get it, and if both party members are downed but the other one is ejected, it doesn't count as a game over.
This is correct period if someone gets ejected and the other 2 die. It's not game over period also , cloud learned it , but then he got adjected right afterwards so I didn't get it
i’ve beaten him like four times and he won’t cast beta, i use red 13 to just spam bio 1 until i run outta mp or he’s ejected.
If I remember rightly it has to have less than 800 HP before it will use it (and ejected at least one party member).
I just did this and beat him but he didn't cast beta smh
Where can you get a lot of graviballs, tranquilizers and deadly waste this early in the game?
They can all be obtained in Midgar. You can get Graviballs as a rare drop from Deenglow in the train graveyard. Tranquilizers and Deadly Waste can be stolen from enemies in the upper levels of the Shinra building. Deadly Waste from Zenene and Tranqs from any soldier encounters (Grenade Combatant and Mighty Grunt).
@@Slothicans Those "Battle Items"(The "GraviBalls") Are Actually "Uncommon"(12.5%) Drops From The "DeenGlows" In The "Train GraveYard". Deadly Wastes Are Indeed "Steals"(50%) From "Zenenes" In The "Shinra Building"(After "Sephiroth" Appears(Floor 68)) But You Can ACTUALLY GET Those "Deadly Wastes" MUCH EARLIER Than That. In The "No. 5 Reactor", There's An "Enemy" Called "Smogger"(Green/Yellow Machine Enemy That Uses "Poison"/"Darkness" Attacks). They Can DROP "Deadly Wastes"(12.5%). Tranquilizers And Hypers BOTH Can Be Stolen From "Enemies" Inside The "Sewers" Where You Fought "Aps" So There's Your FIRST Chance To Get Those.
@@Slothicans Oh, Yes, And "Ghosts" Inside The "Train Graveyard" Have A MISSABLE Battle Item Too: Ghost Hands(50% Steal Rate).
I love you.
Can you do this without the elemental meteria
Unlikely on your first visit as you need to survive the Beta attack.
I never had an issue getting this as a kid because i was always over level 30 by the time i got here lol....good ol days of grinding pointlessly to milk the game for hours because you only got like 1 new game a year haha
At 3:45 you say “and finally, stick everybody into the…” and I have NO idea what the word you say is, someone explain??
He says to stick everybody in the back row so they take less physical damage. 👍
Cant you just manipulate it? Or that wont work?
You don't get Manipulate this early in the game.
No, Midgar Zolom Is IMMUNE To "Manipulate". The WAY He "Dies" He's CONSIDERED A "Boss" Enemy.
he just wont cast beta I ended up killing him I keep trying ,but he just keeps dying I'm not over leveled. If anything I'm under leveled I'm gonna keep trying could be awful luck.
same man ig it’s horrible luck
@@QuickThekidd It'll generally use it when it has less than 800 HP remaining.
No use attempting da snake until you have elemental. You don’t get that until a bit later in the game
Elemental materia can be collected in Midgar before first reaching the world map :)
You get elemental in Midgar!!
VERY WELL DONE Getting BETA Early! Looks Like My Strategy Worked! Normally Though, Red XIII Has The Most HP At This Point. ANOTHER Thing You Can Do Is Throw A "Hyper" At Midgar Zolom And Put HIM In FURY Status. That Tends To Make BETA MISS Sometimes. Also Do A Video On How To EASILY Learn "Chocobuckle"! A LOT Of People MESS THIS ONE UP Because Of ONE LITTLE TINY WRONG MOVE!
There's 2 OTHER Enemy Skills That You Can LEARN: L4 Suicide And Chocobuckle. L4 Suicide Is EASY To Learn(Learn It Off "Mu" Enemies) And You DON'T Have To Be A Level Multiple Of 4 Either. CHOCOBUCKLE, On The Other HAND, Is TRICKY To Learn:
1. You MUST Have L4 Suicide. Buy 1 Mimmett Greens From Chocobo Billy, Move It To The VERY TOP Of Your ITEMS!
2. Get A BATTLE With 1 Of 2 ENEMY GROUPS: 2 Levrikons Or 2 Elfadunks. THESE Are Level 16 Chocobos. The OTHER Enemy Groups Do NOT Have Level Chocobos Multiple Of 4.
3. Have 1 Of Your OTHER 2 Characters(Not The One Your Trying To Learn Chocobuckle For) Feed The 1 Mimmett Greens To The Chocobo. IMMEDIATELY Have The One You Wanna Learn Chocobuckle For Use L4 Suicide After!
Note: Chocobos ONLY COUNTER With Chocobuckle If They Are Hit By L4 Suicide And After They Have Been Fed 1 Mimmett Greens, AND They Will ONLY HIT Whoever Uses The L4 Suicide On Them! That's Where A LOT Of People Mess Up Learning Chocobuckle!
Thanks mate, I do have all the enemy skills planned for videos. L4 Suicide uploadin now, Chocobuckle in a future episode. One thing to note about Hyper is you cannot manually target it at enemies. One trick you can try though is casting confuse on the party with Loco Weed and they can then throw Hyper at enemies.
@@FuzzfingerGaming That's Right! You Can't Manually Target Enemies With Those. Will You Also Do A VIDEO ON How To Farm GIL EARLY From Corel Prison In The Future? There Is ONE RARE Enemy That Is Not THAT Rare(It's A 1/16 Enc Rate) And You Can One-Shot It With Matra Magic. It Appears In The OUTER Area Of Corel Prison, Not Corel Prison Itself And It's Called "Cactuar". Some Say It's Not Very Reliable But Actually It Is. You Just Have To Work At It. It IS A Good Way To Earn GIL EARLY Without Leveling Too Much! With Fast-Forward You'll Find Them Quicker Too And You Can Steal "Turbo Ethers" Off Land Worms In The Process.
@@RedMarioXIIINanaki36 your poor shift key.
On my 19th try. Ends the same. As soon as it casts beta it then attacks and kills cloud before i can cast cure..... wtf 🤨🤨🤨
Buffer cure. As in, when Midgar Zolom is casting Beta, select cloud to cast cure on himself so that as soon as Beta is over, Cloud cures himself. That should give you some breathing room to cast a few Betas on his face.
@@PewPew_McPewster its cool man im level 50 now with 3 enemy skills, each with beta. Ive come along way :L
@@MRGazzman123 Enemy Skills really break this game; between Mighty Guard, White Wind, Beta and Trine (and also Matra Magic early on), the Enemy Skill materia shines consistently from early game to late game.
@@PewPew_McPewster yeah i seen thst. I got the platnium for the remake and realised i enjoyed that too much haha so got the ps1 out. Never really played the original. I forgot i had beta and was like fuck these random battles up the ice mountain.. beta this and beta that ✌ haha. Yuffie vs her dad, eat beta 😂
I like to make this fight as hard as I can by staying low level, really makes me feel like I worked for it. Don't think I have ever used any of the methods ya use in this fight o.o
Unless your over lv.14..you wont survive beta. Its nearly impossible to get beta under lv.14..unless you go to costa del sol and get the fire ring. Beta does about 900dmg to everyone, cut in half by elemental materia thats still 450dmg or so to everyone. And cloud doesnt break 500hp until lv.14
@@tasselhoff1293 Use Aerith limit break to be invincible
@@berentook i suppose thats true. But even still it doesnt last long enough to really make much of a difference. And if Aerith is too low level, she wont be able to withstand a single hit from the zolom, seeing as how naked, Aerith doesnt break 400HP until lv.13, and with materia equipped it drops her into the danger zone of dying from beta, or a counter attack. It is doable i suppose, but unless your perfect zolom is gonna kill most parties below APL 15
@@tasselhoff1293 Sadness will also reduce damage by 30% so 450 becomes 300ish
@@berentook 30% of 450 isnt 150pts man. That would reduce the damage to about 315. And beta does tend to do more then 900dmg that was just a ball park number. Being low level also means your spirit is lower, which will put that 900dmg closer to 1000dmg.It is possible i guess..but its much more effiecent to just waste zolom with mindblow, then come back with fire ring and manipulate, and grab white wind and beta at same time
I tried this trick, to poison him with deadly waste. It only afflicts him with poison if your character has the sadness status effect. If he has no status effects or is hyper, you cannot poison him at all with deadly waste.
Is there any way to get Beta if you’ve already dealt with the Zolom? Because I screwed up and defeated him without knowing I needed Beta
Another one automatically appears.
Fuck!after like 45 minutes, I learn beta, survive it, manage to get off a 945 damage beta with a 125 damage poison... and it survived 😫 thing must have had like 10 hp left. He ejected me and I lost beta.
I normally use Aeirth for this as sometimes Midgar Zolom can attack immediately after Beta. Using Healing Wind (as the Zolom uses Beta) will interrupt the second attack and obviously heal who ever is left. I use the Enemy Skill materia on Aerith and do it that way.
Either way great video Simon! Good to see other methods!
Cait Sith is great also if you have learned Slots and know how to use them. I hate grinding, but you can easily one shot Zolom after he cast Beta having Cait Sith use Game Over on it.
@@mr7oclock346 the thing with that though is that you wont have Cait Sith as soon as you leave midgar. I think this is more of gaining Beta at low level.
However, it is a great idea to come back and get it when you have the buggy.
@@guitarliam5 Considering there are 4 total Enemy Skills materia in the game, and the fact that you can't reach the Midgar Zolom before you get the other 3, you kind of have to come back later anyway to pick up Beta on the other 3 materia.
If a skill isn't learned on all of the equipped on a character enemy skills, they will all learn a skill when it is used. However, if just one of the enemy skill materia has tha lt skill, it can't be learned if it is equipped on the same character.
On disc 1, it is just easier equip 2 on to the same character and learn Beta on all both of them. Technically you can get 3 enemy skills on disc 2, but back tracking to learn anything in the third one isn't really worth it. It is much easier to wait to learn skills on the third enemy skill materia until disc 2 after you get the highwind
@@mr7oclock346 oh yeah I totally get what you're saying. I just prefer to get it early on the 1st one because its OP and basically one shots all random enemy fight haha! Aqualung is another good example of being OP (relatively early)
@@guitarliam5
My go to stratagy until I'm ready to grind is to keep Aerith on the front Row with Cover and enemy skills with the Fury status. Matra Magic is more than enough to build up her limit breaks as you progress. She will also be constantly healing your party with Healing Wind, and later Pulse of Life.
I then keep Cloud equipted with the long range materia, and Barrett in the back row with the Sadness status. I switch Barrett for Yuffie as soon as she is recruited. Their attacks from the back row are enough to weaken enemys for Aerith to finish them off with Matra Magic and learn her level 3 limit breaks.
That's enough to get you to the buggy pretty easily. If you take the time to pick up 2 more restore materia, that helps too.
Beta just cost to much MP to be that good early game in my opinion, when you can just hit enemy's with Matra Magic one or two times and do the same thing. 2 Matra Magics still cost less than Beta.
If you rely on Beta you'll have to back track to an inn often, because Tents are expensive.
2 more tries but got it
I used the fire ring on tifa and beta did absolutely no damage. Used your way for cloud to learn it and the ring for tifa to learn it all in one go. Poor Aerith was yeeted back to space though. 🙁
Man fuck this. I did the save glitch to ignore this battle.
Just equip the fire ring...simple
Straight out of Midgar? No.
When if you don't have ELEMENTAL
i thought you meant beta access ff7 game demo
I wish!
#retrowolf13
Most of the people do it once all 9 party members are obtained
A Little Later When He Gets LASER He'll Have An EASIER Time Getting BETA On The OTHER Enemy Skill Materias!
I do it once i return from costa del sol. Equipped with the fire ring, you can also pick up white wind enemy skill from the zemzelette on the way to get beta. Its impossible to get white wind until after you get cait sith as you need the manipulate materia. So the most effiecent way is to return with the fire ring and get 2 great enemy skills back to back..or just follow fuzzys guide, this works too
@@RedMarioXIIINanaki36 once you get the other enemy skills, you have more then enough HP to endure beta, and your physical attacks will do enough damage to him to entice beta. Laser isnt really needed
@@tasselhoff1293 Actually It Is, That Is Part Of The Trick. You Don't Wanna End Up "Killing" Him Without Him Using Beta, And He ONLY Uses Beta When He Drops Below 1500 HP. "Laser" Is A Gravity-Based Attack That Reduces A Target's Current HP By 1/2 So It's An EXCELLENT Way To Learn Beta Without Killing Him And You Can Do It With An Enemy Skill Materia That ALREADY Has Beta Learned For All The Damage, So There's No Worries Of That Eject CounterAttack Of His.
@@tasselhoff1293 Yeah For MANY The Enemy Skills You Can Learn The Enemy Will Normally NEVER Use Them On Their Own, Which Makes "Manipulate" A Very Necessary Materia To Have.
God what is that voice
Got beta with Tifa lol
Yeah this is the strategy I used....20 years ago....😑
dude you should start practicing to steer away from your crazy british accent
Lol, no matter what I cant beat him, and power leveling takes up too much of my time. Ill just play Final Fantasy 9 instead.
