If you are having trouble, just put that elite ranger down on the right and back it up with a cleric. Ignore the left for the most part. Spam enforcers and Clerics on the right until you can summon Cloud. This should get this done pretty quick. I just beat it with 1 25 left on the clock.
Make sure you pop Cloud so he kills the flying unit, and before that, if you put your trebuchet a bit further back, he can destroy the big one at the beginning.
Why nobody uses barret? Omg he literally saved me. After almost an hour he is really good to kill other emeines from a far distance without being hit too much.
Thanks for all the work and planning you do putting these videos together. Saves those of us that just want to get it out of the way and do not have the energy or time to figure out the strategy based on level design
Tip for anyone still struggling, you can set the difficulty of FF7 to easy to generate ATB in Fort Condor Hard mode faster. It's a weird thing to alter across difficulty but sure as hell beats grinding this out in dynamic difficulty, that's for sure.
Thank you so much for this! Was struggling so hard but after following your guide I got it with the timer at 01;02;80 with the game set on easy mode (makes ATB charge faster)
4th video strat I tried and this one finally worked. Had to tweak placement a bit to keep enforcers in front of Cloud, otherwise he dies in seconds. Thanks man
Thanks sooooooooo much for the comentary for the vid. Helps a lot, ive seen many vids of fort condor of just "doing the thing" and i notice wasted moves and whatnot but the thought process helps out so much, earned a like and subscribe from me
Been following this exactly but either cloud gets absolutely obliterated before they heal him or my units jusy decide to not target what they need too. So i just wont get it then i guess? Coz rng
Thank you!! The trick for me was to pull 2 mages right after cloud so he doesn't die and spam reds and pull tifa on the right by the big boss and bird, she wipes the bird right away and goes straight for the bird and ginal boss :) worked super well for me
Thank you so much bro. When trying the first time, I almost win. Only need 1-2 hit again, but the time out. Its got me frustrating. Trying again until 5 time, and the 6 time I can win the hard mode.
Thank you! After an hour of replaying without help I watched you video and switched the same lineup and had to put in 2 trebuchet line up at the captain and completed with 2.1 seconds to spare 😅
The order in which enemies spawn is not consistent. It's infuriating dealing with this mini game just to get this objective complete. i'll take a horde of fiends over this game any day.
Use the roc catapult itll kill the captain on hard mode set one on right side then put one aimed at the captain once you cant get in enemy territory. I put 2 because the 1st one was missing him. Dont worry about left side
I followed the placements, but I think there is a bit of RNG with when you put down units. In the end, I managed to beat it with two trebuchets as the last surviving units with exactly 1.00 seconds left. Took a screenshot of it, too.
@@jaybee4288You dont get one for the hard mode, just for the classic mode so for the hard mode just put it on easy because you get nothing for doing it fairly
Choose heavy defense, lay down the ballistics beside the bird but just a little behind him and charge your atb bar. Focus on just one side. When you’re almost fully charged lay down the your troops as quick as possible and get a hero out. After that send in some healers and you’ll be fine. I like to use the rock throwers last for the boss in the middle.
Wow! Tried different setups last night for like an hour and couldn’t get it. 3 or 4 was really close for me, needed like 2 more seconds! Terrible at 1 and 2
Cloud + Tifa and ballistas setup with isolated range unit. After setting your defensive and elite defensive near base with a cleric set up following stride set up one ballista at foot of the middle rubble your side. Isolated defensive or two against the lions on your other end. It's possible to end up with Cloud and Tifa and 2 clerics behind right-hand side assault / straight counter... My clerics died but Cloud and Tifa were on the onslaught and 2 ballistas in front of enemy main tower / Gilgamesh... Bam!
I can't even beat this on easy. I had 2 elite rangers, 2 elite vanguards and 6 ballistas on the boss alone. No opposition. He just throws up a barrier and tanked everything for 45 seconds.
Put the trebuchet right in front of the huge boulder in the center of the stage. Thank me later. It’ll work away at the middle boss for you while your heroes get to work
My throat physically hurts from screaming cause the ai sometimes stands their with its thumb up its ass not doing anything. I took out every last enemy piece on this mode and lost 3 or 4 times from running out of time. The picture I took I have 7 pieces standing at the main enemy outpost at 15 seconds left and I swear to fucking god, they waited to attack at 2 seconds left
Did it first try because of your guide. Thanks! Cloud died fast, but I improvised. Putting down two catapults not right in front of the Captain, but far enough to hit him and not get hit helps too at the end while whatever troops you have left + Tifa fight the captain, for those of you still struggling.
Dude! You are my hero! I died so many times playing this game. No problem on the others, but I just never had enough time. Following your strategy helped.
Didn't work. Everyone on the left died so I couldn't target the condor, then Cloud died in the right. Why does no guide work for me? I'm following it flawlessly :(
whew. This fight was a real applecider of a fight. Follwing this and I did it, could not fully step by step but I did the best I could and I needed only one battle. Many thanks.
The position of the trebuchet matters quite a bit when I had my run, placed mine just before the path, around the center rather than to the left side and it made a huge difference.
I watched another video that was very similar but slightly different and it worked for me. The key was keeping Cloud alive. I don't really know why it worked the one time it did, but I'm glad I'm done with it.
Best socials to catch me on!

Cloud died so fast for me, I hate this minigame
Me too
Do you know if you get a reward for beating it all on hard mode?
@@kevinburke1325I think you get some shit for Johnny which is needed for platinum
What do you get? Bc I didn't got anything @@neilpate9738
I used to really enjoy it too and then they went and made it complicated.
THANK YOU! Fort Condor was fun in intergrade but the set line ups were frustrating for me in Rebirth.
If you are having trouble, just put that elite ranger down on the right and back it up with a cleric.
Ignore the left for the most part.
Spam enforcers and Clerics on the right until you can summon Cloud.
This should get this done pretty quick. I just beat it with 1 25 left on the clock.
Right on the spot! Thank you!
Absolute legend
Thank you!
Did it first try with this advice, thank you. 😁
First try, good stuff!
Fuck this. The OG Fort Condor was way better.
Hell nah. OG FC sucked balls. Way too easy and slow AF
Nah!!
Serious M8!
Skill issue
Cloud is usually dead by the time you said there should be enough enforcers to protect cloud.
Make sure you pop Cloud so he kills the flying unit, and before that, if you put your trebuchet a bit further back, he can destroy the big one at the beginning.
Thank you! Best guide I’ve found so far. Beat him with 30 seconds to spare. 🤘
My man 😎
Haha same!!
Thanks man! I struggled with this one for ages, but your strategy made me get it in 1 go
My man 😎
Why nobody uses barret? Omg he literally saved me. After almost an hour he is really good to kill other emeines from a far distance without being hit too much.
True I used him too
This minigame could have been fun. The timer adds an artificial and frustrating difficulty that really ruins the experience.

Not a bad mini game but the timer and the cheap tactics towards the end make me want to cry 😢 Fort Condor was 10x better in the intergrade
It played out exactly like your game so i just had to follow each step and it worked. Thanks!
🫡
Cloud dies so fast. I’ve tried your method like 8 times and doesn’t work.
They made this mode 4x harder than from the dlc of the first game.
Saved me some frustration
Thanks much. Using your opening I was finally able to finish this board! I had been banging my head against it for hours
Glad I could help! 👌🏻
Thank you so much bro. When trying the first time, I almost win. Only need 1-2 hit again, but the time out. Its got me frustrating. Trying again until 5 time, and the 6 time I can win the hard mode.
Thank you so much even with this strat it took a couple of attempts but eventually the chips all fell in the right places

Great strat, worked like a charm! Thanks for the help! Ended with over a minute left lol
Glad it helped!
Worked like a charm. Cheers!
Thanks for saving me an unimaginable amount of time working this nightmare of a minigame out.
No worries!
Use the roc catapult itll kill the captain on hard mode set one on right side then put one aimed at the captain once you cant get in enemy territory. I put 2 because the 1st one was missing him. Dont worry about left side

It worked. You are a literal life saver 🤝🏽

Sometimes it can be the placement of the trebuchets. Congrats 🙌🏻
Appreciate the guide! This was a huge help!
😎
Also note that you can put difficulty on game oneasy and it still completes the hard mode challenge
And you miss out on the trophy you get for completing the game…
@@jaybee4288You dont get one for the hard mode, just for the classic mode so for the hard mode just put it on easy because you get nothing for doing it fairly

Just beat it with 00:00:01. I don’t even know what that is. Less than a tenth of a second.

Thank you so much for your guide! Why was hard mode so much easier than the Normal Mode?! Oh my goodness!
Easy when you know how 😎
Worked out in the end after a few tries with a small tweak. Many thanks
Always nice when people post their fixes and never explain how.
@@joeking986Apologies, essentially near rhe end instead of placing more clerics I just pushed with a few more offensive units to get the damage in.
Thanks bud

There’s another 3 😅

big THANK YOU to this comment. it got me my win! ❤
Cheers for that. Was not a fan of Fort Condor this time around Lol
No? I love it, I love all the games to be fair.
My cloud keeps dying shortly after he’s put down. Doing it exactly like you did as well. Shit is frustrating.
A few people have said that, the only thing I can think is the enemy is hitting as you put him down.
I’m following this strategy to the T and Cloud is getting wiped. I do t understand haha.
How can I give two thumbs up? I tried this on my own once and couldn't get pass mid way. My boys got the beta. Thank you.
Two? Like AND subscribe 😉
Thank GOD for you! Do you do queens blood guides?
I was going to do them but they’re hard to do as each game is massively different. Do you mean the basics?
Finally! This was so hard!! Thanks for the walkthrough!
💪🏻
This helped me so much, but dang didnt know the other stages also had a hard mode 😢
Yeah I know! I still haven’t done them myself
On try number 10 now with this strategy… Hold it is doing my freaking head in
Thank you sir you saved my controller
Watching a TH-cam saves so many controllers per year 🤣🙌🏻
Tried 4 times dropping each at the exact same time you did. Didn't work.
My throat physically hurts from screaming cause the ai sometimes stands their with its thumb up its ass not doing anything. I took out every last enemy piece on this mode and lost 3 or 4 times from running out of time.

Youre the man, i got 32 seconds left
perfect timing for your video. I was not winning with my strategy

Worked like a charm 😂 thank you
Thank you for your helping hand
This mini game in hard is a pain in the ass
👌🏻
Thanks man great strategy been wracking my head over this damn mini game

I used the 2 catapults at the end on the main boss and that did the job perfect
Second try thanks to the video, thanks!
💪🏻
Thanks for the help
Awesome work man, thank you for sharing
You’re welcome ☺️
IT’S THE FRICKEN TIME! Like what the heck! Either I run out of time or I run out of pawns to spawn & im just sitting there doing absolutely nothing.
Got it done quick, thanks!
😅
Dude, can you do one for the other hard mode fort condors
Yes will do! I haven’t done them myself yet as I wanted to press on with the story.
Thanks man, this helped out a lot. Had 1:03 to spare too lol
Light work 😎
You're the absolute best
No you are 🙌🏻
Dude! You are my hero! I died so many times playing this game. No problem on the others, but I just never had enough time. Following your strategy helped.
😎
How do you play cloud or barret?
Omg thank you so much for this! I thought I was going to lose my mind lol.🙏
😆
Cracking strat! Thanks dude 😎
😎💪🏻
Didn't work. Everyone on the left died so I couldn't target the condor, then Cloud died in the right.
Why does no guide work for me? I'm following it flawlessly :(
OMG finally thank you so much 😅
I can’t believe it. Legend
Thanks.
🙌🏻
Isn’t this course number 4 though? Tried this strat on the actual second board it failed badly.
Thank you so much worked like a charm. Very nice walkthrough wouldn't have been able to do it without you thanks.
whew. This fight was a real applecider of a fight. Follwing this and I did it, could not fully step by step but I did the best I could
and I needed only one battle. Many thanks.
For some reason Cloud keeps dying shortly after I place him
Strange? Not sure, have you done it since you commented?

I watched another video that was very similar but slightly different and it worked for me. The key was keeping Cloud alive. I don't really know why it worked the one time it did, but I'm glad I'm done with it.

Cheers dude!
This was great advice! Thank you!!!
THANK UOU!! It worled on 2nd try!!
Youre the man for this video
No you’re the man 😎
Finally, somebody else that plays hard mode
lol i don't know how someone can be playing hard mode unless they got the game early. or did you speed run the main path so you could play on hard?
Is there an award besides the trophy for doing these all on hard mode?
Not sure, haven’t done the other 3 yet. Thought I’d do them when I replay this area or when I can fast travel back.
You do get 5 party exp for each one. Which isn't much. But it's something I guess
It will eventually unlock a certain fight. I won't spoil it.
@@NoHairD0ntCare isn’t that just for doing it on normal?
Can someone confirm there is something unlocked for beating these missions on hard mode?
