Edits and Errors: 1. Sorry for the sloppy nature of this chapter, things have been hectic around here and it's been harder and harder to find good time to record audio so recording the footage beforehand and commentating over it has proven to be the best bet 2. The audio for the Sephiroth fight is a few seconds off, sorry about that, hopefully it isn't too confusing 3. At 9:38 I meant to say Counterstance not Steadfast Block 4. So a few commenters have ran into the situation where Tifa and Barret are the ones who join, I'm still not sure why this happens but here's my suggestion if it does. Set Barret up in his healer/tank hybrid form (so Healing Carcanet, Chakra, Steadfast Block, etc). Set Cloud up how Aerith is set up in this video and set Tifa up how she is in this video but give her Gotterdammerung. When Barret arrives switch to him and start tanking Sephiroth's hits while using Cloud to counter the infusions, save Tifa's Limit for his final form and you should be good to go. This has worked for a couple people who commented below, Barret should be able to handle this fight fine, just gotta make a few adjustments.
I have a video on fighting the top secret, its my chapter 17 hard mode video. I dont think I used Fury ring and I def didn't use Goterdamurung. It's a bit on the sloppy side but I complete it, hopefully it helps! Edit: So apparently I did use Fury Ring, if that approach doesnt work for you there is another accessory that buffs Str iirc (been a few months since I played so I forget what its called) just try it with that!
though this video is 3 years old, it’s been one of the best guides i have ever watched and helped me so much as i just completed this platinum, Thank you for making my life so much easier, God bless
Hi there! Just a quedtion: Did you get a screenshot for completing the chapter? Asking cuz I cannot take screenshots (at least manually) when I'm on chapter 18.
This is the best guide ever, literally. It’s been 4 years since I played it, and I got back to it with your guide, and I’m really grateful. I thank you so much for your hard work, and I will remember you as long as I remember FF7.
This guide was both extremely entertaining and brilliant in how helpful it was. I followed each chapter along with my Hard mode playthrough and had a great time, where it could have been a nightmarish slog. So thank you so much for the vast amount of work and research you had to put into this project, you saved this particular FF7 nerd a lot of headache!
Bro, your guide has been a godsend, beat my entire hard playthrough following your guide step by step, lead me to beating every engagement with no deaths (except pride and joy 😂 that one was brutal) Just want to thank you for helping me platinum this game, definitely earned all the likes and subs you got for this
Thank you, sir! Managed to accomplish this on my second attempt, using your method! WAY better and safer than the most visualized and famous strategies in TH-cam. You deserve more views and praise, congratulations!
Thank you so much for that video, I struggled for such a long time with the last chapter in hard mode! Now I finally got the platinum thanks to your guide :)
Just got my first platinum trophy thanks to you! Through this entire series your advice and quips have made it an extremely enjoyable watch even though the videos are quite long. You havent posted in quite a while but i would be excited to see a walkthrough of rebirth if you ever feel up to posting again
It's been over a year since you posted this, but I dug out my copy of the game this past week and these videos were super helpful! I remember from my first playthrough doing fire elemental + triple slash getting me through the game and it was nice to see more advanced versions of that strat. Figured out a few off branch strategies of my own (compared to yours) to get through some of the end chapters, but this was such a great walkthrough. No filler, easy to follow. Great stuff dude!
I have never or maybe once written a thank you note to a guide, but. this one finally did it. Checked my playing record any prior to using your build i have wasted over 12 hours on those 3 amigos, never even made it to Sephiroth. Fantastic guide, where the three dudes were actually done in 1 try. Sephiroth afterwards took like 10 attempts getting through the second stage, and i almost didn't kill him in the finale on my first try, but Barrett gave him some last juicy salat from the distance.
This guide is by far the best on TH-cam! Thank you so much bro! Did the Whispers on my first try with this setup and Sephiroth on the third. Finally got the platinum!
I don’t usually comment on videos but I just wanted to say thank you for helping me get through with the majority of the chapters. Definitely couldn’t do it without you. Hopefully you’ll see this and I hope you start posting again and praying I’ll see in when the next FF game. Thank you once again Doobie 👍
I normally don't comment on anybody's stuff but I just wanted to say that I've been following this guide since chapter one and I pretty much mirrored your build through the whole 18 chapters and thank you for getting me through the hard mode because until I got that piece from pride and joy, it was hard as hell LOL but your build wasn't all super powerful and maxed out like most the other guides out there so I knew that I didn't have to go and Max everything out and spend hours of grinding before starting hard mode so I thank you for that. And I love the commentary 👍
i did it! thanks for this guides i did it from chap 1 to end and this was fun learning and im now ready for rebirth waht comes in some days so THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP!😁
Thank you so much dude! Finally managed to get through the last battles. Anyone struggling should definitely give this a go. I tried several other strategies and only this one worked for me 😊
hello sir, i just wanna thank you for your effort in making this easy guide. really is easy. if it wasn't for you then i wouldn't get the platinum trophy. i watched through your every video, sometimes it would feel like we are playing together and i just borrowed your brain LOL anyways, thanks man and goodluck :D
Kudos, man! Just got my plat trophy today! This works great! Cheers! Used the ff summon materia: Cloud: Bahamut Aerith: Leviathan Tifa: Chocobo & Moogle Barret: Shiva
You need more likes on this video i got barret at the end and it worked out fine with lifesaver thank you so much I accidently restarted the chapter when i tried to restart the battle with sephiroth and i wanted to cry. Thanks man!
Thank you, Thank you good sir, it wasn't the multiple of videos that showed a tanky build that got me that plat, it was this video, I gave up on this plat a whole year ago just because of how hard this was. Sephiroth is such a asshole. But thanks to you I got it.
Thank you for the tips! My game trolled me hard and first gave me Tifa then Aerith, so I had no real way of healing Cloud. When I died it accidentally hit start from beginning of series so I had to fight the whispers again! Then to top it off the last Sephiroth fight I got Aerith and then Barrett 😂 I managed to beat him in the end though lmao thanks for the help!
I’ve been struggling on this for a couple of months and I still can’t do it, this is my last chapter and I really can’t do it even with the guide :( so I’m stuck 1 trophy away from the platinum
There is influence in the game, same as the original (i.e Golden Saucer date) but the way it is influenced is by whose side missions you do such as Chapter 3 for Tifa affection and Chapter 8 for Aerith affection but if you skip doing any of their side mission you get Barret affection. This also affects whose secret cutscene you get in Chapter 14 at Aeriths house.
Well thanks, finally finished my trophies The next ff7 game shouldn't be too far away, I expect to see more of these walkthrough videos for that game too
If you guys have another materia slot on Tifa's weapon, I would put pray in there. Other than Barret getting smacked around by the Harbinger super attacks, I never got too low with my health because of the combination of Steadfast Block + Pray
That's awesome! And its all good, if you look at my playtime in my guide videos when the menu comes up im well over 100hrs myself haha. Gratz on the plat and happy to help!!
@@DoobieStreams It was kind of funny how I ended the game xD Well because...my "last attack" that "killed" Sephirot was literally FAT CHOCOBO´S ASS (Its final attack) I didn´t even plan it or anything, I just summoned it because literally Tifa was the only one with BTC at that moment, the fight continue with Fat Chocobo with us but then Sephirot f·c&%ng lose it and killed Cloud, and Aerith was just about to die and was cornered (my only healer), but then I managed to run and dodge with Tifa enough time and It just happened xD
m hands shaking down the last hp no more mp.. but i listened and kept that limit break.. :d for all 3 characters just incasee hhhaha.. thank you great guide
On Sephiroth, i usually only go with Punisher / parry / Counterstance, while Tifa keeps using Starshower ... Aerith i only have her on healing / buffing duties, and i try to only control Cloud so that Sephiroth doesn't attack the girls. I also always only get Tifa and Aerith, heard it depends only on whoever kills more whispers during the previous fights.
29:18 “His last phase... is fucking horrifying”. 😂 Tifa and Aerith joined the fight inversely for me so equipping Magnify=Healing to Tifa instead was the only tweak I needed to see it through. Beating this got me the Hardened Veteran Trophy and triggered the Platinum so many thanks for the video!
lol, yeah man. He party wiped me twice while I was practicing the fight for the video and both times were the same thing. Got to his last phase and died within 2 minutes or so hahaha. After that I realized it was best to just hold on to the limit and throw the kitchen sink at him as soon as that phase started. Interesting you got Tifa before Aerith, I'm still not sure how the game determines who shows up tbh, never found a concrete answer. Glad the video helped and thanks for watching!
I just finished hard mode a couple days ago. I thought Bahamut was easier than the separate whispers because of how often they interrupt you with magic attacks. So frustrating. I surprisingly survived megaflare with all 3 with no barrier or anything and immediately magnify-curagad with Aerith to get immediately back to full health on everyone. I always have heal and revive on everyone though and prayer on everyone but Aerith and spam the heck out of Pray with everyone... I didn't have Aerith with Sephiroth at all. Cloud Barret and Tifa at the end for me and came so close to dying so many times... Had no plans with any of the fights, really, just clawed my way to the finish. lol. Man I love this game...
The sephiroth fight went wrong for me in every way possible 1. The first time I did this fight in normal mode, I was joined by Aerith then Tifa like in the video But this time I was joined by Tifa THAN BARRET 2. Expecting AERITH, I switched my max level revive from barret to her, and gave barret the unleveled revive 3. I was forced to use my limit since I didn't have healing from Aerith and it was getting risky 4. Because I used my limit I had to wait out and take damage just so it would build up again (I died) 5. Just before sephiroths last phase Tifa died And barret had no ATB to revive Despite all of this I was still able to complete it, just barely
I tried to be as clear as I could, sorry if you felt like I went too fast. Funny enough the criticism I usually receive on my videos is I talk too slow lol. Try reducing the playback speed and see if that helps.
I'm not sure why this happens, my recommendation if you find yourself in this situation would be to set Barret up as a tank/healer and either Cloud or Tifa (probably Cloud) as the mage. Same strategy applies only you'll be tanking the hits with Barret and using Cloud to counter-cast his elemental infusions. If you go this route MAYBE give Tifa Gotterdammerung and have her be the one to drop the Limit on Sephiroth in his final phase. Hope that helps and good luck!
Sorry, I tried to be as clear as I could but I know I was a bit all over the place in some spots. I beat the game 3 times and never had Barrett in the final fight so I'm still not sure how that happens, glad you got passed it though and hopefully the guide was of some use.
Except Chapter 18 begins way before this, with an impossible motorcycle boss battle with a 1-hit or 2-hit beam attack that is IMPOSSIBLE to block and difficult to dodge, as the motorcycle brakes are insanely disabled if you are within 10 yards of the enemy in Hard Mode (to dodge it in Normal mode you would just brake). Not to mention it's random how frequently he does the simple machine gun attack that you can't block and can only dodge 50% of its duration if you are God (meaning it alone can kill you through RNG if he does it often enough, even if you perfectly dodge all other moves and are perfect at maximally dealing damage to him). But we'll just pretend that's not part of the game's Ch 18...
i just can't get past this chapter bro like this is my fourth try i just did it again and i got killed after the bahamut thing where they split again i clapped every damn boss in the last 17 chapter like everyone i just cant get past this one
Triple Slash will really mess their day up when theyre split, and when they turn into Bahamut you NEED to have a limit ready. Be it Ascension or Dolphin Flurry. Make sure to start dropping Thundaga on him from Aerith as soon as they merge together too. His health is pretty low compared to normal Bahamut but you can't let up at all because you have way less time before it mega flares.

Could you make a video going up against Top Secret without the accessory? Baphamut always gets me. And the fury rings just makes me too squishy.

Me I had Barret and Aerith at the end had him take most of the hits for me to beat this guy danmmm thanks man your guide was really helpful
Do you have FF7 Remake intermission I need your guide for the hard mode and the simulator 😅😢
though this video is 3 years old, it’s been one of the best guides i have ever watched and helped me so much as i just completed this platinum, Thank you for making my life so much easier, God bless

I think my issue was the lack of HP up materias. I only had 2, so making Cloud a complete tank was the right build.
This guide is by far the best on TH-cam! Thank you so much bro! Did the Whispers on my first try with this setup and Sephiroth on the third. Finally got the platinum!

That moment when Bahamut evades your limit and makes you fail the whole fight 😤
Amazing setup
cannot get limit break walking in game
Brilliant video.Great Guide 👍👍👍

How do you have a full limit bar at the start? 🧐
Goterdamurung (or however you spell it lol)
Thanks for this.
No problem! Glad it was helpful!
You are absolutely right that last phase will absolutely fucking destroy you.
Great guide thanks for the help with this annoying chapter 👍👍
i used the baseball bat to beat the game. its a gimicky weapon, but if you fully upgrade it, you get a lot of crit bonuses which helps
The sephiroth fight went wrong for me in every way possible
1. The first time I did this fight in normal mode, I was joined by Aerith then Tifa like in the video
But this time I was joined by Tifa THAN BARRET

And barret had no ATB to revive
Despite all of this
I was still able to complete it, just barely
Thanks for the video, dude. :)
P.s. are you blazed or?
I was for a good portion of these videos lol.
THANK YOU
No problem!
Why in you got move fast on the materia I couldn’t keep up what you have geez
I tried to be as clear as I could, sorry if you felt like I went too fast. Funny enough the criticism I usually receive on my videos is I talk too slow lol. Try reducing the playback speed and see if that helps.
ty you soo much ✌️
Nice guide. My last trophy for platinum. Almost as hard as Jules pullups.
Lol, yeah nothing in the game is that hard haha.
Nice build. Finaly plat atfer 120h
Thanks
Why come tifa and barret
I'm not sure why this happens, my recommendation if you find yourself in this situation would be to set Barret up as a tank/healer and either Cloud or Tifa (probably Cloud) as the mage. Same strategy applies only you'll be tanking the hits with Barret and using Cloud to counter-cast his elemental infusions. If you go this route MAYBE give Tifa Gotterdammerung and have her be the one to drop the Limit on Sephiroth in his final phase. Hope that helps and good luck!
@@DoobieStreams thank you
Knowing what summons they had for stat boosts would have been helpful
Good call, sorry about that. I can try to go back through the footage and figure it out. I honestly don't remember at this point.
@@DoobieStreams I actually beat it a little bit ago and got my plat so all good lol
@doobie Streams. can you do this for me man. its killing me. I have exact setup as you all maxed out
You can do it! Which section is the one giving you trouble?
Instructions unclear, barret joined instead of tifa and he was sacrificed for the win
Sorry, I tried to be as clear as I could but I know I was a bit all over the place in some spots. I beat the game 3 times and never had Barrett in the final fight so I'm still not sure how that happens, glad you got passed it though and hopefully the guide was of some use.
@@DoobieStreams oh no it was very useful this guide helped me get through the harbinger fight
@@yahiko7701 Yeah, triple slash just messes up their day lol. Glad to hear it helped!
Except Chapter 18 begins way before this, with an impossible motorcycle boss battle with a 1-hit or 2-hit beam attack that is IMPOSSIBLE to block and difficult to dodge, as the motorcycle brakes are insanely disabled if you are within 10 yards of the enemy in Hard Mode (to dodge it in Normal mode you would just brake). Not to mention it's random how frequently he does the simple machine gun attack that you can't block and can only dodge 50% of its duration if you are God (meaning it alone can kill you through RNG if he does it often enough, even if you perfectly dodge all other moves and are perfect at maximally dealing damage to him). But we'll just pretend that's not part of the game's Ch 18...
I’m 99% sure you can skip the motorcycle crap in hard mode tho?
Isn't this game suppose to be longer than this....this is upsetting
i just can't get past this chapter bro like this is my fourth try i just did it again and i got killed after the bahamut thing where they split again i clapped every damn boss in the last 17 chapter like everyone i just cant get past this one
How can i do a manual save when i get to sephiroth .... im really tired
Triple Slash will really mess their day up when theyre split, and when they turn into Bahamut you NEED to have a limit ready. Be it Ascension or Dolphin Flurry. Make sure to start dropping Thundaga on him from Aerith as soon as they merge together too. His health is pretty low compared to normal Bahamut but you can't let up at all because you have way less time before it mega flares.
@@DoobieStreams i can get past bahamut ba sephiroth's last phase is crazy who the fuck made him like this
@@DoobieStreams even with the limit i can't do it
