I did him 3 weeks ago. He really doesn't like sleep. I'm on helions now and it's hard. I dual caste quake, haste, then another quake. First rounds done fast. Second round quake then stop magnify. Quake and haste. Quake damages anything unless they're immune to spells damage. Petrify immunity doesn't go against its damage. I think I get to the 4th round before getting destroyed. The Ying and yang round has a wipe mechanic. I've not worked that round out yet.
@@WheeledHamster Even tho i have the Platinum now, i'm afraid i don't have any like, sure-fire strategy, as i think when i beat i just got lucky that i overwhelmed the Savage Grandhorn, but i can still try. So targetting him is a must, but assess/view his data to find out how you pressure him, apply that method & kill it with stagger as fast as you can. Also use as much Genji equipment & Str/Mag up, damage buffing spells as possible, Prime mode also gives you attack buff if you perform its jab, but beware it goes away if you roll iirc. Again, people get lucky in this fight, the streamer i've been following the longest beat it first try, & he wasn't even aware of the danger. That's how lucky you can get... So yeah try to get your damage dealer as powerful as possible, you have the Tifa divekick strat & spells can also get stuuupid powerful with Genji, swiftcast & magic potency materia. Some bonus tips: darkside materia, atb boost materia, elemental weakness materia
@@PetePlayGames1992dude you can’t lock on In this game, sure there is a lock on but it’s Japanese lock on so it doesn’t actually work like their cameras don’t ever work.
That 9th fight made me rage so hard that I had to turn the game off for awhile. That damn big guy put us all in those traps and one shot us after we were doing so damn good.
Sam and as usual TH-cam content sucks for new games so I can't even find a strategy without going through hours of material and all the guide sites are broken because of advertising and they are outdated and improperly Source coded
For the 9th fight have Cloud quickly cast quake3 with Magnify + Petrify (Quake), and equip another member with time so you can immediately cast stop on the Savage brute that traps you. As a plus I also have comet + synergy on the third part member. Comet helps clear the weaker enemies quickly.
@@Helloim_anthonyI prefer an Easy but Fun Platinum where I'm gonna enjoy every single second of it, than a Hard and not Fun Platinum where I'm gonna get stress out 🤷🏻♂️ Some stupid challenge and Mini-Games from this game just ruined my whole experience with it, it's pure fustration... I do love Soulslike games but they are hard by design, everything was done by foundation to be challenging and every single game mechanics were made especially for it. Meanwhile, games like FFVIIR it's just annoying with cheap Difficulty, requirements and stupid mechanics.
Dude u have 3 elemantal materia. I think the only way to get 3 is to beat whats in the video......if im wrong some1 let me know......ive done 100% of everything other than finishing chapter 10-14 on hard and these combat challenges.
It’s says you can stagger him to get him to release but I am pumping all the damage I have into home and can’t get him to stagger and he just keeps dart binding my whole group
Maybe like within 20 secs he has the my first character earth binded and when I try to focus him the there just spam earth quake to the point where I can’t move because it keeps popping me in the air I understand it’s suppose to be hard but I platinum remake I don’t think I am going to to it one rebirth between all the mini games and stuff like this just feeling cheep
I finally beat it but now I am stuck on the white terror fight he is barely manageable on his own but they throw in a giant slime too lol just to make sure I wasn’t tripping I went back and fought the five summon gauntlet and Weiss on remake and beat them on my second try I am not sure but this wolf shouldn’t be this strong.
Hmmm just had aerith with magic combo materia with stone magic and magic enhanced also with stone materia (sorry im french dont know the word in english) equipped with ribbon, safety sphere for tifa and buff materia and cloud with resistance materia equipped with stone and poison and elemental affinity with fire/ice and the genji gloves, just rolled on the first 3 challenges basically using thee strikes and aeris doing the rest spending 0 mp.
@@carloscasanovalopez3639 Either you’re lying or are literally the first person to find a fourth because as of right now only 3 are reportedly obtainable. I’ve done literally all side content but brutal challenges and only have 2 so there’s definitely something wrong with that statement.
I swapped steadfast and prayer on red13 and gave him comet and synergy so he just spams that while I’m hitting the big one with fire was the only way I could get through it
@shizochaos oh man thanks a lot I was able to beat Shiva and ifrit with the pause game and was finally able to get to level 16 crafting so once i start playing hard mode I'll get the genji equipment
@shizochaos this is exactly what I did. How is anyone supposed to naturally react to Seph's attack strings 10x before your single moment to atk is beyond me. I love ff7 but I absolutely hate how these minigames were brutally shoved down our throats.
@MrHenri911 I finally did it was Able to defeat sephiroth I took a picture of all his 6 attacks and pause and execute took me a bit but finally beat sephiroth
@@danteespinoza8119not a bad idea! I kept pausing/unpausing until the animation frame made it clear if it was up, side, down. Still took more tries than it's worth but hey, we got a ribbon now. 🎀
It's sad that this game really needed to add annoying, unfair challenges to artificially extend the length of it. These challenges are not even hard. They're tedious, boring, and everything you need to do to complete them is not tied to skill but just some random bs.
I love your channel but these combat simulator guides suck. Especially since there's no way to even do the same build as you because I have to complete this combat trial to get the third elemental materia in the first place. And I can't get a third magnify materia until after I beat this one on brutal challenge 4.
There's no significant in game reward for it. If you can't accomplish it yourself just don't do it. It's unfair to the people who beat something themselves to make it look like a lot more people accomplished it than actually did.
9? Anyone say 9? 9th fight. Or hehe, as they say, hot garbage.
Focus on Savage Grandhorn first

Like all this stupid challenges
The problem is not the 9th fight the problem is that we have to do all of the previous fights just to get there each time we lose
Anyone having trouble with the 9th fight, use aerora while they block you.
I will not be able to do anything while they block me (if you mean the barriers)
I got to 9th and got trapped. I was tired so I couldn't work out how to break free in time.
Looked it up, focus on Savage Grandhorn first!

With Red XIII you build up 2 atb bar then throw stardust and the 2 small are instant dead. The last one is easy 3o1

Me too!! 🥺😭💔
Magnify-petrify, mp absorb-petrify,magic focus-petrify fight will be over in no time...
Magnify-petrify combo is quikly becoming my best friend!!
I am flying through these with this setup. Add First Strike Materia along with Chocoking’s Cape accessory. Damn near unstoppable.
My guy, this made it so easy 👌
Thank you! This helped immensely!
Will try this with swiftcast. Thanks for the tip.

cait sith with moogle magic is very nice. i recommend it!
I used him in almost every fight, he's awesome!
Try Fira and Firaga on the 9th fight, that did it for me
So confused watching this. I get to round 6 and my screen looks nothing like this, my characters get pummelled and then hey presto it’s over.
Those monsters with the four legs omg they are so annoying
Round 9 has brought me to new heights of gamer rage... I think I'm going to need therapy. 😡🤬🤪😅
this game was top 10 oat but these challenges are bumping it down fr
Crazy after the platinum we ain't gotta do ts no more so you'll be fine when u wanna replay the game
Better than having an easy platinum

you are right and this game is Garbage because of the mini-games
Earthbound keeps getting me...
how to escape from it 😢?
@@anhemtoctai5099 you can't, you have to stagger the grandhorn with another party member to release earthbound
I feel like playing dark souls when playing the hard mode, most mobs can one shot me
Please guide me to beat Gongaga battle intel: distant rumors in VR Missions. I can't deal with Earthbound skill.
Warding plus petrify materia on your armor gives you immunity I believe. That or stagger him.
How do you break those barriers
You need to best those guys very fast right on stage 9
This is really a frustrating one…
Yes it is the earthbind one at 9 is stupid
It’s says you can stagger him to get him to release but I am pumping all the damage I have into home and can’t get him to stagger and he just keeps dart binding my whole group
@@joshuahorton-lo2nq yeah… same situation here yesterday. I somehow managed to eliminate 2 other enemies fast with synergy then focus on him only

Where do u find the centran bracer accessory?
Why does he have 3 warding materia??? this is crazy there is only 2 in the game
Hmmm just had aerith with magic combo materia with stone magic and magic enhanced also with stone materia (sorry im french dont know the word in english) equipped with ribbon, safety sphere for tifa and buff materia and cloud with resistance materia equipped with stone and poison and elemental affinity with fire/ice and the genji gloves, just rolled on the first 3 challenges basically using thee strikes and aeris doing the rest spending 0 mp.
For fight 9. When the big guy blocks cast Feuga then he is instantly staged.
Use what??
@@aaronlebeauf423 Level 3 Fire Magic. Don't know how it is called in english.
@@niklasfeldbusch318 ooh it's Firaga. I thought there some new materia I missed.
@@aaronlebeauf423 No😂 I play it german^^
You lucky guys.. in French its "Méga Feu" we lost the nice contraptions
I don’t have ribbon what can I use instead?
So trying to do this but how do you get the 3rd Elemental Materia if this is how you get it? Is there another way to get a third?
No this is the 3rd and last obtainable elemental materia. I wish guides like this would stop using items that people wouldn’t otherwise have yet.
@@EpicGamer-oo9ubYou can get 2 Elemental materia easily before this. You can buy Warding materia from Cosmo Canyon.

Omg fight 9 so impossible omg
I beat it once and then got completely fukt by tonberry in like 15 seconds.
I swapped steadfast and prayer on red13 and gave him comet and synergy so he just spams that while I’m hitting the big one with fire was the only way I could get through it
Had absolutely no problems with 9. Just shock the one who's locking your char and this will free him/her.
@@SabreFang121 This helped, thanks
Can you please elaborate on this?@@neroorion2759
I got to 9th and everyone got trapped. No wonder this game is ksogee
what did you do at 14:59 to stagger it?
It seems a simple punisher mode counter
JHow do you get the ribbon
Think one in brawler minigame. Vs sephiroth. Cheese it by pausing the game before
Is there no other way to defeat this fight without ribbon I not that expert on doing that gold.saucer quest and get the ribbon
abuse pause button during enemy animations to recognize them early
