Ahoy my friends! I have finally beaten the EX2 Bahamut Fight!!! This fight is nails hard and took me about 150x with many different failed strategies!! Utilizing an Elemental DPS Strategy with No Sigil Breaks!! Definitely a choreographed fight, but not only in the realm of whales!! Super fun fight and I hope this guide helps you all to clear it!! Cheers!
nice guide and nice explanation. I will revisit the video again when I am strong enough. btw i checked a little bit more and saw that you are a writer. thats cool man! wish you the best!
Thanks mate! Hope the guide helps you to clear one day! And yeah, been writing 13 years now or so, written almost 10 novels and have a bunch coming out this following year! If ya like FF and high fantasy/mythical stories i bet you’d find em quite enjoyable 🙏🏽😁🍻 Cheers my friend!
Sanctuary plus is all I needed to see to know this wasn't as bad as I what I had to go through to beat it with a base bandaged sword. Saved me the need to WL it thankfully. Congrats
@BodhiJMSRyder I took it off of my wish list after beating it. I was going to pull for it using the special pick banner otherwise. It was the hardest battle for me since Crash Sephiroth. Keep up the great content!
Man, thanks for the video. I finally beat this monstrosity. I did this with full support Cloud and Matt with DPS Zach but all the same principles applied
Great my friend!! Congratulations!! This fight is one of my favorites and its def imo the hardest fight in EC!! Great work my friend and i am happy to help :)
Honestly i dont know. I would have to see all the gear you have to work with + can > ob6 bandaged sword hit high with 2 casts? Could maybe use a mana ward (mdef up?) low cast and follow with sanctuary to hit high and that would handle mdef against megaflare. Tho for the matk down / patk down its hard to hit it with one char and still hit the dps threshold. Nightbloom goes low to mid so prob doable. Which dps weps?
@@BodhiJMSRyder Thank you for your comment ! Currently I run Sephiroth with Edged Wings OB6 with Flare Star OB4, Tifa as my Healer with Lifeguards OB2 and Tiger Fangs OB3 for the MATK down to high and Cloud with Zidane Sword OB7 with Bandaged Sword OB2. I have higher DPS but my heals are quite lower but I can use more LBs with Tifa... On the other hand if I take Aerith, I'll have higher heals but no MDEF down to high
@korhddrebirth7778 oh wow guess I skipped that one haha. Honestly it’s a toned down version of EX2. Build a team like I did in EX2 and the fight is just an easier version of it
@@BodhiJMSRyder I tried that, I used the same build that you used for Bahamut EX 2 and I was doing very little damage, I couldn't the break sigil on time and Bahamut instantly K.O. my team because I was taking too long to defeat it. This is just my opinion but maybe relaying/using elemental damage isn't a good choice against an enemy that has no elemental weakness. That's the experience I got from playing Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis, I usually use non-elemental attacks against enemies that don't have elemental weakness.
@korhddrebirth7778 it is a good advice but at the time non elemental weapons were very hard to get and so I was forced to fight him with an elemental strategy. Definitely use non elemental if you have the weapons. Gotta remember this guide was recorded during a different time in the game’s life.
Yeah that part is pretty damn annoying ngl. All my losses were over the course of like a week so maybe just take a step back, play some mario kart or something then hit it again. The luck will come around!!! Good luck my friend!!! 🍀 🍀 🍀
I didnt keep count hiw many times ive tried lol, but it took me nearly 3 or 4 days worth of trying. At first i thought it was impossible but once i tried it, realized how similar it was to EX 1 and i already lost a lot to that lmao. After trying out all the different teams i could bring in, ultimately fell onto Cloud, Red 13 and Tifa
@@BodhiJMSRyder yupp , I had to replace aerith so I needed a support / healer and he does both things super well. I only have his manaward at OB1 so like I had to play it somewhat perfectly or the entire run is a flop! The hardest boss so far imo
@@BodhiJMSRyder the hardest part for me was when hes about to dive bomb and if I let red or cloud waste atb, they won't have enough to heal to full / cast barrier twice on time. I could also only build tifa with enough to where she can do enough damage to win, but she will die from dive bomb even with high potency barrier + attack down mid. So if he had target her it would have ended there
Thats how it was for me with Seph. If he was targeted in dive bomb phase it was a retry. But damn nice work bro!! So you used Red to heal this fight? How did you manage that mate? And yeah def the hardest boss so far!!!
@@BodhiJMSRyder you can check my build i have it uploaded . his regen is not that great but it gets the job done lol . when hes about to dive bomb , i'll set it up and then try and save my limit breaks so i can make him recast his animations to let me heal a bit . i think youtube removes comments that have links or something

Saved you from WL? Seems tough af with base Bandaged sword mate 🔥

Congrats mate!!! It was def such a tough fight!!
Awesome, great job! I finally got it done today as well with a similar build. What a ride lol
Fr bro. Unfuriating and painful, but so damn good 💯🍻💥 congrats man!!
Congrats on the clear!!!
Thanks bro 🙏🏽

Nice guide!! Thought you might need Zidane sword ob10 for this but nicely done 😮
Wish i had it haha would have made this a hell of a lot easier!
I cleared ex1 last night as a minnow and tried ex2 for giggles. Wow
I felt the same at first honestly, but it might be more within your grasp then ya think. It just takes a lot of failed attempts to find what works.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 well done
Thank you!! 🙏🏽☺️
Congrats! I just managed very hard mode but i started 3 weeks ago so i dont have those awesome ff9 weapons 😓
Oh nice 3 weeks ago!?! You are abso crushing then!! How you liking the game so far?
Nice guide !
Do you think it's doable with Flare Star, Nightbloom and Sanctuary not OB6 ?
Honestly i dont know. I would have to see all the gear you have to work with + can > ob6 bandaged sword hit high with 2 casts? Could maybe use a mana ward (mdef up?) low cast and follow with sanctuary to hit high and that would handle mdef against megaflare.

@alixvapp1281 are you surviving the physical dps phase?
@@BodhiJMSRyder Just retried and it focused Sephiroth who was low PDEF and low HP unfortunately
@alixvapp1281 gotta have to redo that part a lot of times to have him target the one who can survive. Who has the highest pdef?
Is there a video guide on how to defeat Bahamut EX 1?
Yes I have an EX1 Guide up. Just go to my playlists and look for Summon Battle Guides!
@@BodhiJMSRyder I found the playlist, I looked and there isn't a Bahamut EX 1 Guide. Maybe I am blind or something.

Over 50 consecutive runs, and can't even reach sigil just because he keeps focusing sephiroth 100% of the times
Yeah that part is pretty damn annoying ngl. All my losses were over the course of like a week so maybe just take a step back, play some mario kart or something then hit it again. The luck will come around!!! Good luck my friend!!! 🍀 🍀 🍀
Maybe there are also some set criteria for who he targets that might override random targeting.
@pudicus2 i checked PDEF, MDEF and HP, plus seen it hit all three chars with no change to gear. My guess would be random mate, but ya never know.

Hell yeah you took it down!? Love that you brought in Red, was it for the MDEF aoE up?
