Awesome guide! Since I was practicing the dodges I replaced the 2x Luck Up with 2x HP up, 1 Revival on Aerith with Healing, and cast Manawall on Tifa. After about 4 minutes of dodging around and healing Tifa, I pressured Weiss and said, "What the hell, I'll try the finisher combo." I did the Arcane Ward>True Strike>True Strike>Thundaga (Aerith/Cloud)>Rise and Fall>Thundaga (Aerith/Cloud)>Omnistrike>Whirling Uppercut>Dive Kick>Whirling Uppercut>Divekick>Thundaga (Aerith/Cloud). He died. I wasn't even trying to do a kill run and he died. I laughed so hard. Only took me 3 attempts and I was mostly practicing the dodges and not really attacking. Cheers.
Thanks for your hints. I wasn't able to build the stagger bar as quickly as in the video, nor deal an equal amount of damage during the staggering. With this setup, I beat Weiss on the second attempt!
It took me like 12 times and essentially the only thing i could do with my laid back playstyle was take his final attack once and have the auto revive accessory. It was a true ff superboss battle
I just beat him! Many thanks for this video, especially for the part where you show the sequence of actions while staggered. I'm in my forties and don't have the same reflexes as I used to, so I used my own config with elements of yours. It is designed to stay in the game if you fail to dodge/parry before Weiss's special red attacks.

When Weiss got staggered for the first time, I used among others Refocus on Tifa which gave me three ATB stripes, which were very useful later to launch a massive attack from terrain conjured up by Arcane Ward with Firaga’s. I definitely didn't use Divekick. When Weiss got staggered a second time, I probably finished him with Firaga’s from Aerith and Cloud coupled with Tifa’s True Strike plus all of this with different names, which we can get by pressing a triangle. Probably since I don't remember exactly what I was using, there was too much going on on the monitor screen. Something fun at the end, it was probably some glitch in the scene generation. During one of the attempts to pass this fight, Weiss became invisible. Seriously, all you could see was Weiss and the names of his attacks. xD
I beat him it was really hard. I like how this guy at least explains things about the fight most people are like it's so easy to look at me and waste him so lame. He got to the second phase I used a purple stalker's weapon for Tifa it seems to me it does the same damage. What helped my was how to dodge I did need heals though.
Finally bested Weiss after 2hrs. Lol. Going back and mastering ff7 remake battle mechanics of Tifa after a year of completing it is crazy. The muscle memory of doing combo again was a struggle. I can’t imagine having to remaster it again after part 2 comes out!
@@BltzZ i wish! After finishing Yuffie dlc and coming back to this, i realised i still prefer Tifa’s combo over Yuffie’s. Now I’m thinking of replaying the remastered version just for the fun of it. Anyway thanks for the guides as usual. I keep ok forgetting to subscribe as you’re my to go to guides on this. Thanks!
Wow, this guide was amazing! It only took me a few tries to beat him, and that was mostly just me retrying as soon as I fucked up, I probably coulda clutched it out with arise honestly. The explanation of his red attacks was exactly what I needed! And this strategy is flexible enough to work even with some mistakes, I didn’t have near enough atb on Cloud and Aerith when he staggered, but was able to just thundaga nuke his second phase down with the entire party on an arcane ward. Took like four or five double casts!
For people freaking out during the stagger and not inflicting enough damage to kill him, just swap the green or refocus materias that negligibly boost magic stats (they're good only for speed runs really) for MP UP materias so you can finish him off easily on his second stage with just lv3 thunder/fire spam with Cloud and Aerith. This fight is really not hard as it looks. The Parry command can also be used to jump over his head during his stab move.
Thank you sooo much! I finally beat Weiss, I flopped the Tifa combo but held out long enough with Arcane Ward to have Cloue and Aerith cast 2x Thundaga while he was in his gatling cannon mode. Got platinum for both vanilla game and Interrgade dlc. Couldn't be happier! Thank you again!! 😃
If you get close to beating him but don't deplete his help KEEP GOING! Get Aerith or Cloud to keep taking advantaged of Arcane War to cast Thundaga while distracting him with Tifa (he should be in his second phase). I messed up on the stagger but I got this first try so anybody reading this, u got this.
Alittle late to the Intergrade train, but wanted to say thanks for the video. Even at a minimum, getting him staggered and following your guide during that phase shredded him further than I had ever been and I just went full blast on the magic when he changed phase. Took a few tries but better than the few hours I spent last time trying to beat him.
Before they released the DLC, I had played this game on the PS4 and it took me a few days to finally beat the Top Secrets. Now that I have a PC, I am going to plat this game, but lost patience with the Top Secrets because damn that Bahamut fight makes me want to yeet my controller. About an hour ago I uninstalled the game to take a break from it and was like, "nah, f*** that, we're doing this s**t." Found this guide, beat Weiss on, like, my 10th try, and now I'm about to give the Top Secrets the HANDS. Thank you for this.
@@BltzZ honestly i did it in 1:30 with this method. that's a speed run for me hahahha. ur honestly a god ur guides have been so helpful. this is my 2nd time getting the platinum cuz my HD crashed and now i have the ps5. but your methods made it seem like a completely different game. heading back to INTERGRADE to do secret weapons with yuffie. my only struggle was sephiroth cuz i didn't see a guide from u for that but was able to figure him out my self. but again thank you so much your guides are like non other on youtube! 🙏🏽 can't wait for part 2 and also 16!!! 🙌🏽
I was stucked in this boss so bad I thought I would never get the trophy but then I found this guide and I made it on my second attempt. Hands down the best method for this fight. One advice though, if you are having trouble making perfect parries use Tifa's ability Focused Strike to evade the red attacks and stagger Weiss, it was way easier for me
This guide is so solid that I could beat this guy up in the span of just 2 evenings: one spent on learning Weiss' moves, the other on actually applying this strategy. I don't remember how many tries it took, but certainly less than with the boxes or pull-ups minigames. And I didn't execute everything flawlessly, either - and still ended up handing Weiss' ass to him within two minutes on my fourth "proper" attempt. Thank you so much!
Yoooo, I don’t normally comment but I just needed to thank you for this guide! This was the one that did it for me. I was already good at the dodges, just wasn’t dealing enough damage. Tried this method and got him down to around 20% on the first try. Feels good to see that trophy pop, thanks!
Great guide. Goes without saying the bulk of your time will be spent in Phase 1 just learning his patterns. Once you stagger him the battle is pretty much over unless you mess up with the ATB (which I almost did). I had Gotter on Cloud just in case it charged up enough by the time I got the stagger to use it and never needed it. Yes Gotter works...you just don't get the immediate charge, but it will build limit throughout the fight.
I like the way you do your like & subscribe, quick & to the point without the cringe or taking away from the vibe of the video. I respect the hustle/effort. Keep doing your thing brotha, you’ve got my support 🤜🏼
Tbh I'm still hit or miss with it. I sometimes am good like in this video and other times it goes on for quite a bit. Still trying to find the right flow and balance but I appreciate it man! Just a warning for future videos they may not be as compact plugs as this one was
You are my hero, I had been trying and testing different strategies for more than 4 days and yours was the only one that worked for me. Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have achieved it.
Your build helped a lot. I wasn't doing a lot of damage after 1st stagger (I lacked some materias for the build), so I saved mp in phase 1, I just staggered him with focused strike and dodges, in phase 2 i just kept away and spamming magic, and summon ifrit after he starts rejuvenation at the very end of his hp, and kept spamming magic, until ifrit do the final blow. Beat him in my 19th try.
I tried to follow the guide as best as I could, needless to say it went off the rails haha, but I was able to beat him in the second stage! Man that synergy materia came in clutch! Thanks for the vid man!!
2 years later and your guide helped me get the kill. I didn’t quite beat the damage check to skip P2, but I just hovered around the ward and started jumping between characters to build ath. Had enough to squeeze out a few more thundaga/rhundara’s to win. Felt amazing.
Thank you so much my man, bested Weiss today with Fury Rings in 2:42. I'm not as fast with Parry with Tifa so I used X2 HP Ups. The Thundaga was very helpful instead of Blizzaga especially during Stagger. Almost got him on the first Stagger but needed Arcane Ward in Phase 2. Now I am going after Sephiroth with 3 Refocus Limit Breaks
Just dropping by to say thank you. I just beat him! I was not a super skillful player and take me around quite a few tries or so to get used to dodging Weiss's attacks, but once you get him into stagger the fight is almost over. Some suggestion for those who might have difficulty: 1. I replaced the time and barrier materia with HP Ups for a little more room for error. 2. Normally it would be better to change the target with the left and right buttons but if you have difficulty keeping the camera on Weiss whiling running around the venue (like me), you can temporarily change the settings to the right analog stick. When this setting is on, the camera automatically focuses on your chosen target, and since there is only one target you don't have to worry picking a target, nor the camera angle.
At first this guide seemed so daunting and extensive. Never thought I was going to beat him as this fight demanded such precise timing and hand-eye coordination but after 12 hours of trying over and over, learning his moves and becoming confident In pressuring Weiss, I finally beat him 🥲... platinum’d the game and all... thanks Blittz
I replaced Barrier with Magnify, and I traded one Refocus for a Revival between Cloud and Aerith. That allowed Cloud to haste everyone at the beginning of battle and for Cloud and Aerith to be able to revive Tifa whenever she died. I was able to beat it after about 50 attempts. I staggered him and kept True Striking and using Thundaga. He became un-staggered and killed Tifa, but I had still had enough Thundagas queued to kill him.
Took me about 30 tries and 50 million swears strung together because I couldn’t get the timing right, but man was this satisfying on that last run when everything clicked
Your guides & builds for all the hard-only fights have all helped me, plus the condor queen trophy Weiss is the last trophy to get em all, so thank you man really. I love these games so be able to actually beat the super bosses is fun 😂
Appreciate this guide. I substituted in one HP up for Tifa, otherwise I used the same loadout. I hadn't played FF7R for a while so I had to get used to the controls again. I do have to say that I found the dodges rather inconsistent on Weiss which was frustrating. Also, you have to time punches for him to be headed into the air when you do a focus strike to get maximum stagger. Took me about 30 tries in total to get him down. Thanks again!
This guide really really helped, thanks so much! Mine was far from flawless but I beat him in just over 2 and a half minutes in only a few legitimate attempts, not counting some tries to learn the attack dodging. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the guide ! Took me countless tries, but eventually made it. It definitely took ages to learn how to dodge his attacks, and since I couldn’t do a no-hit run, I used 2x HP Up on Tifa, and had Cloud cast Barrier on her at the start. Despite many attempts, I just couldn’t stack enough damage during Stagger phase, and never go him below 30% HP, so I had to improvise for his Physical Immunity phase. What I did was cast a Arcane Ward and switch characters to kite him until he initiates an attack, to then switch character I’d move into the Ward to double cast Thundaga/ra on him until he eventually died.
Before or I even started with Weiss I watched this video. I don't want to spend many many hours to defeat a character just to realize that there is a tactic behind all of this. Been there done that. I never forget how many days I spended to defeat Sephirot in Kingdom Hearts. Thanks for the guide!
I just wanted to let you know I just beat him !!! Thank you so much for your all the excellent guides you have done! After 2-3 years they still work perfectly fine!! I got 100% now we gotta wait for Rebith 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳 thank you again & rest assure I will continue to support your channel !! 👌🏻👌🏻
I beat this fight in 3 tries with this strat haha. You are the man. I got nervous too because at the end of his stagger I didn’t have him near as close to death but I just put the whole party on the ward and spammed double thundagas for dear life and he died on like the 6th one lol
Lol I just beat him while Cloud was the last person alive and on like 300 HP with the last thundaga I had MP for. It was like my 4th attempt at this strategy and the first time I got him proper staggered. Great guide brother as usual. Keep em coming!
Did it based on your guide - Thank you so much! Had to slightly adjust it with Time + Magnitude (instead of barrier) so that everbody is always on haste and a Chakra Materia for Tifa to heal her quickly. Key in first stage is parrying his stab move and immediately cast fire attacks as the time slot is open a bit longer. And have ATB ready before he is staggered to get him down to at least 50%. Also have the magic cirle ready during the staggering phase. In second phase cast Aerith's "flower shield" and always change between characters to fill ATB. Once a character is ready, get him into the circle, change again the character so that Weiss does not focus on the char in the circle, and then start magic attacks with the char in the circle. Had him in 3 Minutes after trying it for approx. 20 times with your method. Great Job!
Practiced a good 30min on how to dodge his red attacks. Then beat him on the next try. His stagger ran out just as i was True striking him. Luckily all 3 party members were standing inside the arcane ward. So x2 thundaga delayed cast till dead. Man Blitzz you are GOAT tier! I cant thank you enough. Game officially PLAT! In the BAG!
Took me a while to get the method down and to get used to dodging his attacks. Evisceration was a pain to dodge. After more than a few attempts, I defeated him when he was staggered. Thanks for the guide man.
Evisceration was a nightmare at first but that timing is everything! Yo I just uploaded a video about a game breaking build involving synergy be sure to check it out!
Thank you for your guide! It was fun getting a no-hit run through phase 1 then just finishing him off with Thundaga immediately. Using this method was much faster and easier than I thought!
For anyone wondering. If you fail to kill him before he draws out the cannon after stagger, just parry around as Tifa, and unload thundaga whenever the others have atb. It's a really easy way to kill him that way.
LMAO So legit woke up at a random time in the night and decided to tackle this fight...... beat it in the first try after about an hour of failing the previous day. Thanks mate 100% finally.
Thanks for the guide! Took me about 15 minutes, retried 4 times. Didn't have the cleanest execution when he was staggered, but just kept throwing magic at him when he changed phases and he went down. Cloud and Tifa went down too but the clear is what we came for :D
I loosely followed your guide and had about an 8th of health bar left at tens of 1st stagger and just started spamming double thundagas w/everyone cuz I didn’t know what to do in phase 2. He was at his last sliver of health and then Tifa died then out of no where…. Aerith threw a basic attack and slayer him … clutch. Thanks for the guide cleared him within 20 mins of trying
Decided to do this before starting Rebirth to finish off 100% in Remake and following this guide beat him after 21 tries. Was nowhere even close to flawless gameplay and got him before the phase change.
I tried every strategy online failing left and right in phase 2. This was the stagger build that finally got me though this hell. Thanks for the guide!
Wooo! Everyone in the comments is right! This is definitely the method to use! I was trying to do the method from the person who did it in 23 seconds before, which is almost the same as this, but slowing it down a little bit here into a non-speedrun version really makes it doable. Took me about 10 tries with this method, where I only actually staggered him on the ~5th and ~10th tries, getting him down to 10% HP on that 5th try, but I didn't remember until mid-stagger that since I had died as Tifa and been rez'd by Aerith, I lost my chi, so I lost on what would've got me there. Final attempt, he only had a single hit left coming out of his stagger!!! Thanks so much!
I just want to say thank you for this video. I took me a lot of trials and errors, but I finally beat Weiss. And I spent a lot of gil to do it. Lol. Anyway, thanks again.
Forgot about this and decided to give it a go failed over 20 times but after your strategy took a few tries to get used to but next day tried it and beat it was so shocked thanks 😂👑
Dude, I Know everyone has said it already, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for this guide! following what you suggested, i beat Weiss on my third try with this build. took me 2 tries to remember the attack patterns when he is staggered but i was able to defeat him before staggering him a second time!
Just now finished intermission and went to try weiss and died a couple times. Now though after using this method, I just beat him after 3 tries so in total. Beat him in 5 attempts 😁 Thanks so much for this video
Well, that was definitely tricky. Really had trouble getting the timing down for the Evisceration dodge. Took me about 50 minutes and I don't even know how many attempts, but I got him. And with that all the Intermission trophies are mine! Thanks for the guide!
Super late with this comment but I finally beat him after 50-60 attempts. This set up worked really well but i removed one of the revives for a healing and had Aerith heal Tifa a couple of times before staggering. My reaction speed sucks and couldn't do the first part without getting hit at least once. Finally got lucky dogging his stab ability and he threw out a bunch of crosswise cleaves on my run. For Evisceration, I couldn't react quick enough to get the timing down after all these attempts but found that if you keep dodging backwards you can avoid it. Just ran around and waiting for him to do a different ability. I was close the calling it so thank you very much!
Finally beat him this morning! When he got into the Azul Phase I was kinda winging it jumping between characters casting Thundaga seeing that Weiss was almost defeated. Cloud ended up unconscious but I had Tifa and Aerith switching around casting those spells and to my surprise, I beat him. Thought I was going to lose! 😂 Thanks so much, brother! Finally Platinum'd the lot! 😊👍
jesus christ, THANK YOU! First strategy that actually helped me win. Granted it was hard, many many retries. But THIS let me beat him before ever dealing with the nonsense that is "Immaculate End" Super duper grateful to you sparing me that nonsense. did cost me a ton of gil for all the retries though...and I don't remember my original materia loadout anymore...but that's not important because I already beat the game anyway and it wouldn't be hard to recreate.
Even with your guide it took me a little over 4 hours... Still the best one and I did finally get the internal timer down for dodging. Legit the moment I realized I finally got the dodging down I quit being so aggressive and ensured my victory. The stagger tho... That was a butt clincher to ensure I got it all down as I only staggered him once and finally beat it
Holy crap, this actually works well! I was able to beat him in just 5 attempts after seeing this. And on the last attempt I just focused on learning to stay alive with Tifa and building the stagger bar slowly just with regular attacks. As it turns out this “learning attempt” did the job because his health bar was obliterated during the stagger phase. After that, one thundaga from Aerith killed him, just when I lost Tifa because I didn’t get used to his phase 2 moves.
Managed to do it on my 4th try, When he was staggered i messed up badly but didn't even care because i was just practicing for his attacks. Thank God I didnt restart, I spammed all my thundargas and Firargas and managed to get him. Ty
Legend!!!! This guide worked a treat! Can't believe with the right setup you can bring him down in just under 2mins incredible. I now have 100% of the trophies this was the very last one I need. Now I can shelf the game and chill for Part 2 😁
Omg I just beat him... great strategy. I messed up a LOT near the end... out of stagger he still had a good 20% health but I just spammed Thundaga with everyone as you said lol.
Thanks a lot for this guide! Took me a few tries to get the rhythm of its attacks and stagger him, then a few more tries to deal enough damage while staggered, and it was done! The guide made it manageable and quite easy after some practice, very detailed and useful!
I’ve been putting off getting this achievement but was able to get it thanks to this guide! It took quite a few tries in to learn Weiss’s patterns. I dropped the Tifa combo during the first time I staggered but was able to get it on the second try after I just told myself to do as much damage as possible. This approach definitely requires you to be perfect in dodging those red attacks! I got a little frustrated at first but once I learned it got way easier (eviscerate demands quicker reaction time than the other two). So even though this guide is super thorough, this isn’t going to be an easy thing that you can do after one attempt (which is what I assumed lol). Thanks so much for posting this guide! It was super helpful!
I decided to come back to this game to get the rest of the achievements (patiently waiting for Rebirth to come to Steam lol), just wanted to say thanks for how detailed your guide is!
I was just practicing dodging his attacks. No pressure. No expectation that I would make a serious attempt tonight, when I got my first stagger. And then I thought, well, let's just see where this goes. I half remembered your strat, and completely fumbled Tifa's combo, but even that was sufficient and I still did enough damage that he was really low health after the phase transition. I was honestly shocked when he fell. That was a really fun fight. The dodging in the first half felt really good and Aerith is just a beast with Synergy.
Thank you!!! This is the only guide truly which helped. I only had and used 2 Fury rings on Tifa and Aerith, then gave Cloud the Götterdämmerung to land the final finishing move.

With this setup, I beat Weiss on the second attempt!
After 3000 attempts I finally beat him.
Clutchh lol
I gave up on 100% i will use this guide when i attempt again the only thing holden me back from the 100%
@@paytherent3491 it’s not that hard actually when you understand the second phase
Only took me 5000 bro get with the program
It took me like 12 times and essentially the only thing i could do with my laid back playstyle was take his final attack once and have the auto revive accessory. It was a true ff superboss battle
Mind blown at the vault dodge with tifa and cloud. Beat the game on hard this week and had no idea that was a thing. Great quality vid. Subbed.
Welcome to the channel dude happy to have you on board!
I remember discovering it on accident during my fight with Reno on a recent play through I’m doing lol.
I would just use focus strike whenever he did stab, i didnt have the mechanics/timing to vault him and i would die 😅
How do you do it? The Vault Dodge?
I thought this would take so long. With this guide just 3 tries, and they were just learning the dodge timing. Thank you
3 tries is incredible! you have some really godlike timing congrats on learning it so fast
I just beat him! Many thanks for this video, especially for the part where you show the sequence of actions while staggered.
I'm in my forties and don't have the same reflexes as I used to, so I used my own config with elements of yours. It is designed to stay in the game if you fail to dodge/parry before Weiss's special red attacks.

Before staggering Weiss for the first time, I used Unbridled Strength ability twice.
When Weiss got staggered for the first time, I used among others Refocus on Tifa which gave me three ATB stripes, which were very useful later to launch a massive attack from terrain conjured up by Arcane Ward with Firaga’s. I definitely didn't use Divekick.
When Weiss got staggered a second time, I probably finished him with Firaga’s from Aerith and Cloud coupled with Tifa’s True Strike plus all of this with different names, which we can get by pressing a triangle. Probably since I don't remember exactly what I was using, there was too much going on on the monitor screen.
Something fun at the end, it was probably some glitch in the scene generation. During one of the attempts to pass this fight, Weiss became invisible. Seriously, all you could see was Weiss and the names of his attacks. xD
Underrated comment. Thanks for sharing :-) Gonna try it tomorrow.
I'm too tired right now, and only get stabbed around xD
I beat him it was really hard. I like how this guy at least explains things about the fight most people are like it's so easy to look at me and waste him so lame. He got to the second phase I used a purple stalker's weapon for Tifa it seems to me it does the same damage. What helped my was how to dodge I did need heals though.

I think it'll be easier for you the third time around. Congrats! There are plenty of people who are stuck since release so don't feel bad lol
@@BltzZ i wish! After finishing Yuffie dlc and coming back to this, i realised i still prefer Tifa’s combo over Yuffie’s. Now I’m thinking of replaying the remastered version just for the fun of it.

Much love man thank you for the continued support I really appreciate it!
nerf or remove tifa, problem solved, hate her playstyle anyways and being forced to use her is very unfun feeling
@@mewshifterYou aren't forced to do anything.
Wow, this guide was amazing! It only took me a few tries to beat him, and that was mostly just me retrying as soon as I fucked up, I probably coulda clutched it out with arise honestly. The explanation of his red attacks was exactly what I needed! And this strategy is flexible enough to work even with some mistakes, I didn’t have near enough atb on Cloud and Aerith when he staggered, but was able to just thundaga nuke his second phase down with the entire party on an arcane ward. Took like four or five double casts!
For people freaking out during the stagger and not inflicting enough damage to kill him, just swap the green or refocus materias that negligibly boost magic stats (they're good only for speed runs really) for MP UP materias so you can finish him off easily on his second stage with just lv3 thunder/fire spam with Cloud and Aerith. This fight is really not hard as it looks. The Parry command can also be used to jump over his head during his stab move.
Thank you sooo much! I finally beat Weiss, I flopped the Tifa combo but held out long enough with Arcane Ward to have Cloue and Aerith cast 2x Thundaga while he was in his gatling cannon mode. Got platinum for both vanilla game and Interrgade dlc. Couldn't be happier! Thank you again!! 😃
If you get close to beating him but don't deplete his help KEEP GOING! Get Aerith or Cloud to keep taking advantaged of Arcane War to cast Thundaga while distracting him with Tifa (he should be in his second phase). I messed up on the stagger but I got this first try so anybody reading this, u got this.
I second this... keep the zerg on while moving behind him continuing dmg. If you give him time to switch back he murders everyone lol.
I did do it exactly how you did, but I got it done. Now it time to play FF7 Rebirth. Thanks man
Took me 20 tries to get to the stagger phase, but once I did I beat him right away. Thanks for the guide!
Alittle late to the Intergrade train, but wanted to say thanks for the video. Even at a minimum, getting him staggered and following your guide during that phase shredded him further than I had ever been and I just went full blast on the magic when he changed phase. Took a few tries but better than the few hours I spent last time trying to beat him.
to all those of you unsure..... 6 guides later, this is the one that works!!! love you dude!!!!
Before they released the DLC, I had played this game on the PS4 and it took me a few days to finally beat the Top Secrets. Now that I have a PC, I am going to plat this game, but lost patience with the Top Secrets because damn that Bahamut fight makes me want to yeet my controller. About an hour ago I uninstalled the game to take a break from it and was like, "nah, f*** that, we're doing this s**t." Found this guide, beat Weiss on, like, my 10th try, and now I'm about to give the Top Secrets the HANDS.
Thank you for this.
I think I speak for everyone when I say:
Yes please, give us that juicy speedrun guide for Weiss!
You got it dude
@@BltzZ where is it!?
@@ondrecares 👀 back to making guides this week
@@BltzZ honestly i did it in 1:30 with this method. that's a speed run for me hahahha. ur honestly a god ur guides have been so helpful. this is my 2nd time getting the platinum cuz my HD crashed and now i have the ps5. but your methods made it seem like a completely different game. heading back to INTERGRADE to do secret weapons with yuffie. my only struggle was sephiroth cuz i didn't see a guide from u for that but was able to figure him out my self. but again thank you so much your guides are like non other on youtube! 🙏🏽 can't wait for part 2 and also 16!!! 🙌🏽
You dont speak for everyone I don't care about speed runs.
I was stucked in this boss so bad I thought I would never get the trophy but then I found this guide and I made it on my second attempt. Hands down the best method for this fight. One advice though, if you are having trouble making perfect parries use Tifa's ability Focused Strike to evade the red attacks and stagger Weiss, it was way easier for me
This guide is so solid that I could beat this guy up in the span of just 2 evenings: one spent on learning Weiss' moves, the other on actually applying this strategy. I don't remember how many tries it took, but certainly less than with the boxes or pull-ups minigames. And I didn't execute everything flawlessly, either - and still ended up handing Weiss' ass to him within two minutes on my fourth "proper" attempt. Thank you so much!
Yoooo, I don’t normally comment but I just needed to thank you for this guide! This was the one that did it for me. I was already good at the dodges, just wasn’t dealing enough damage. Tried this method and got him down to around 20% on the first try. Feels good to see that trophy pop, thanks!
100% this. Thanks @BltzZ
My problem was also dealing enough damage 😂 this guide is clutch as hell
Just completed my 100% again for FF7R.. I watched all your videos multiple times as a primer, I haven't played FF7R in a year. Thanks man, cheers.
Great guide. Goes without saying the bulk of your time will be spent in Phase 1 just learning his patterns. Once you stagger him the battle is pretty much over unless you mess up with the ATB (which I almost did). I had Gotter on Cloud just in case it charged up enough by the time I got the stagger to use it and never needed it. Yes Gotter works...you just don't get the immediate charge, but it will build limit throughout the fight.
Your videos alone are the reason I am a few trophies away from platinum-ing the base game and Yuffie's DLC!
I like the way you do your like & subscribe, quick & to the point without the cringe or taking away from the vibe of the video. I respect the hustle/effort. Keep doing your thing brotha, you’ve got my support 🤜🏼
Tbh I'm still hit or miss with it. I sometimes am good like in this video and other times it goes on for quite a bit. Still trying to find the right flow and balance but I appreciate it man! Just a warning for future videos they may not be as compact plugs as this one was
So ive just got my ps5 and finished ff7 intergrade. I saw this guide and just beat him under 2 mins. Cant thank you enough.
With this guide, I beat him within 10 tries, your guides are always the ones I look forward to, now I wanna see that advanced Yuffie guide!
You are my hero, I had been trying and testing different strategies for more than 4 days and yours was the only one that worked for me. Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have achieved it.
Your build helped a lot. I wasn't doing a lot of damage after 1st stagger (I lacked some materias for the build), so I saved mp in phase 1, I just staggered him with focused strike and dodges, in phase 2 i just kept away and spamming magic, and summon ifrit after he starts rejuvenation at the very end of his hp, and kept spamming magic, until ifrit do the final blow. Beat him in my 19th try.
I tried to follow the guide as best as I could, needless to say it went off the rails haha, but I was able to beat him in the second stage! Man that synergy materia came in clutch! Thanks for the vid man!!
2 years later and your guide helped me get the kill. I didn’t quite beat the damage check to skip P2, but I just hovered around the ward and started jumping between characters to build ath. Had enough to squeeze out a few more thundaga/rhundara’s to win. Felt amazing.
Thank you so much my man, bested Weiss today with Fury Rings in 2:42. I'm not as fast with Parry with Tifa so I used X2 HP Ups. The Thundaga was very helpful instead of Blizzaga especially during Stagger. Almost got him on the first Stagger but needed Arcane Ward in Phase 2. Now I am going after Sephiroth with 3 Refocus Limit Breaks
Just dropping by to say thank you. I just beat him! I was not a super skillful player and take me around quite a few tries or so to get used to dodging Weiss's attacks, but once you get him into stagger the fight is almost over. Some suggestion for those who might have difficulty:
1. I replaced the time and barrier materia with HP Ups for a little more room for error.
2. Normally it would be better to change the target with the left and right buttons but if you have difficulty keeping the camera on Weiss whiling running around the venue (like me), you can temporarily change the settings to the right analog stick. When this setting is on, the camera automatically focuses on your chosen target, and since there is only one target you don't have to worry picking a target, nor the camera angle.
At first this guide seemed so daunting and extensive. Never thought I was going to beat him as this fight demanded such precise timing and hand-eye coordination but after 12 hours of trying over and over, learning his moves and becoming confident In pressuring Weiss, I finally beat him 🥲... platinum’d the game and all... thanks Blittz
Whooped this guy on my 2nd attempt after watching this. getting 100% just in time for Rebirth. Many thanks, dude ✌
I replaced Barrier with Magnify, and I traded one Refocus for a Revival between Cloud and Aerith. That allowed Cloud to haste everyone at the beginning of battle and for Cloud and Aerith to be able to revive Tifa whenever she died. I was able to beat it after about 50 attempts. I staggered him and kept True Striking and using Thundaga. He became un-staggered and killed Tifa, but I had still had enough Thundagas queued to kill him.
Bro I love how you're using photo mode in your vids. Awesome!
Ayyye just trying to spice up the quality however I can
Took me about 30 tries and 50 million swears strung together because I couldn’t get the timing right, but man was this satisfying on that last run when everything clicked
Your guides & builds for all the hard-only fights have all helped me, plus the condor queen trophy
Weiss is the last trophy to get em all, so thank you man really. I love these games so be able to actually beat the super bosses is fun 😂
Appreciate this guide. I substituted in one HP up for Tifa, otherwise I used the same loadout. I hadn't played FF7R for a while so I had to get used to the controls again. I do have to say that I found the dodges rather inconsistent on Weiss which was frustrating. Also, you have to time punches for him to be headed into the air when you do a focus strike to get maximum stagger. Took me about 30 tries in total to get him down. Thanks again!
This guide really really helped, thanks so much! Mine was far from flawless but I beat him in just over 2 and a half minutes in only a few legitimate attempts, not counting some tries to learn the attack dodging. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the guide ! Took me countless tries, but eventually made it.
It definitely took ages to learn how to dodge his attacks, and since I couldn’t do a no-hit run, I used 2x HP Up on Tifa, and had Cloud cast Barrier on her at the start. Despite many attempts, I just couldn’t stack enough damage during Stagger phase, and never go him below 30% HP, so I had to improvise for his Physical Immunity phase.
What I did was cast a Arcane Ward and switch characters to kite him until he initiates an attack, to then switch character I’d move into the Ward to double cast Thundaga/ra on him until he eventually died.
Finally a good explanation on dodging stab attacks. Most guides on the net just say: "Dodge sideways" which obviously does not work. Thanks!
Before or I even started with Weiss I watched this video. I don't want to spend many many hours to defeat a character just to realize that there is a tactic behind all of this. Been there done that. I never forget how many days I spended to defeat Sephirot in Kingdom Hearts. Thanks for the guide!
I just wanted to let you know I just beat him !!! Thank you so much for your all the excellent guides you have done! After 2-3 years they still work perfectly fine!! I got 100% now we gotta wait for Rebith 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳 thank you again & rest assure I will continue to support your channel !! 👌🏻👌🏻
Gave up on this for a couple years. Decided to go back to this fight and watched this video. Got it on 3rd attempt. Thanks BltzZ!
I beat this fight in 3 tries with this strat haha. You are the man. I got nervous too because at the end of his stagger I didn’t have him near as close to death but I just put the whole party on the ward and spammed double thundagas for dear life and he died on like the 6th one lol
Lol I just beat him while Cloud was the last person alive and on like 300 HP with the last thundaga I had MP for. It was like my 4th attempt at this strategy and the first time I got him proper staggered. Great guide brother as usual. Keep em coming!
Did it based on your guide - Thank you so much! Had to slightly adjust it with Time + Magnitude (instead of barrier) so that everbody is always on haste and a Chakra Materia for Tifa to heal her quickly.
Key in first stage is parrying his stab move and immediately cast fire attacks as the time slot is open a bit longer. And have ATB ready before he is staggered to get him down to at least 50%. Also have the magic cirle ready during the staggering phase.
In second phase cast Aerith's "flower shield" and always change between characters to fill ATB. Once a character is ready, get him into the circle, change again the character so that Weiss does not focus on the char in the circle, and then start magic attacks with the char in the circle.
Had him in 3 Minutes after trying it for approx. 20 times with your method. Great Job!
Practiced a good 30min on how to dodge his red attacks. Then beat him on the next try. His stagger ran out just as i was True striking him. Luckily all 3 party members were standing inside the arcane ward. So x2 thundaga delayed cast till dead. Man Blitzz you are GOAT tier! I cant thank you enough. Game officially PLAT! In the BAG!
Took me a while to get the method down and to get used to dodging his attacks. Evisceration was a pain to dodge. After more than a few attempts, I defeated him when he was staggered. Thanks for the guide man.
Evisceration was a nightmare at first but that timing is everything! Yo I just uploaded a video about a game breaking build involving synergy be sure to check it out!
Thank you for your guide! It was fun getting a no-hit run through phase 1 then just finishing him off with Thundaga immediately. Using this method was much faster and easier than I thought!
Your guides really helped me, after 2 tries watching your video, I got 1:35 on Weiss LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
For anyone wondering. If you fail to kill him before he draws out the cannon after stagger, just parry around as Tifa, and unload thundaga whenever the others have atb. It's a really easy way to kill him that way.
Thank boss
Thanks man was able to beat him in like 20 minutes having never attempted this fight before. It was SUPER close but hey... dead is dead
LMAO So legit woke up at a random time in the night and decided to tackle this fight...... beat it in the first try after about an hour of failing the previous day. Thanks mate 100% finally.
Thanks for the guide! Took me about 15 minutes, retried 4 times. Didn't have the cleanest execution when he was staggered, but just kept throwing magic at him when he changed phases and he went down. Cloud and Tifa went down too but the clear is what we came for :D
Thanks for this my bro. Just got a ps5 and literally beat Weiss in only a few attempts cause of your strat!
I loosely followed your guide and had about an 8th of health bar left at tens of 1st stagger and just started spamming double thundagas w/everyone cuz I didn’t know what to do in phase 2. He was at his last sliver of health and then Tifa died then out of no where…. Aerith threw a basic attack and slayer him … clutch. Thanks for the guide cleared him within 20 mins of trying
Even now when the opportunity is ripe... my boy Wedge gets the thumbnail shaft.
Great video though
I will wait until the wedge army comes to give me a wedgie
Decided to do this before starting Rebirth to finish off 100% in Remake and following this guide beat him after 21 tries. Was nowhere even close to flawless gameplay and got him before the phase change.
I tried every strategy online failing left and right in phase 2. This was the stagger build that finally got me though this hell. Thanks for the guide!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES I DID. Before the Stagger runs out. Thank you very much for the guide.
Count yourself another subscriber
Wooo! Everyone in the comments is right! This is definitely the method to use! I was trying to do the method from the person who did it in 23 seconds before, which is almost the same as this, but slowing it down a little bit here into a non-speedrun version really makes it doable. Took me about 10 tries with this method, where I only actually staggered him on the ~5th and ~10th tries, getting him down to 10% HP on that 5th try, but I didn't remember until mid-stagger that since I had died as Tifa and been rez'd by Aerith, I lost my chi, so I lost on what would've got me there. Final attempt, he only had a single hit left coming out of his stagger!!!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the method, I practiced a little and beat him in under 5 tries!
I just want to say thank you for this video. I took me a lot of trials and errors, but I finally beat Weiss. And I spent a lot of gil to do it. Lol. Anyway, thanks again.
after 5 HOURS of failed tries... i find this video.... follow it to the core and 10 minutes later I BEAT THIS MO FO! THANK YOU!
You got it dude happy to help! Enjoy breaking the game now
Forgot about this and decided to give it a go failed over 20 times but after your strategy took a few tries to get used to but next day tried it and beat it was so shocked thanks 😂👑
Dude, I Know everyone has said it already, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for this guide! following what you suggested, i beat Weiss on my third try with this build. took me 2 tries to remember the attack patterns when he is staggered but i was able to defeat him before staggering him a second time!
Just now finished intermission and went to try weiss and died a couple times. Now though after using this method, I just beat him after 3 tries so in total. Beat him in 5 attempts 😁
Thanks so much for this video
Well, that was definitely tricky. Really had trouble getting the timing down for the Evisceration dodge. Took me about 50 minutes and I don't even know how many attempts, but I got him. And with that all the Intermission trophies are mine! Thanks for the guide!
Super late with this comment but I finally beat him after 50-60 attempts. This set up worked really well but i removed one of the revives for a healing and had Aerith heal Tifa a couple of times before staggering. My reaction speed sucks and couldn't do the first part without getting hit at least once. Finally got lucky dogging his stab ability and he threw out a bunch of crosswise cleaves on my run. For Evisceration, I couldn't react quick enough to get the timing down after all these attempts but found that if you keep dodging backwards you can avoid it. Just ran around and waiting for him to do a different ability. I was close the calling it so thank you very much!
Finally beat him this morning! When he got into the Azul Phase I was kinda winging it jumping between characters casting Thundaga seeing that Weiss was almost defeated. Cloud ended up unconscious but I had Tifa and Aerith switching around casting those spells and to my surprise, I beat him. Thought I was going to lose! 😂
Thanks so much, brother! Finally Platinum'd the lot! 😊👍
Blitzz my guy. Just did it! Thanks so much for this strat. Did it on my 20ish go. Used your straw for pride and joy too. Best FFVII channel there is 😊
It's really works. I just need 3 times and finally got him beaten just in 1 stagger. Thank you
jesus christ, THANK YOU! First strategy that actually helped me win. Granted it was hard, many many retries. But THIS let me beat him before ever dealing with the nonsense that is "Immaculate End"
Super duper grateful to you sparing me that nonsense. did cost me a ton of gil for all the retries though...and I don't remember my original materia loadout anymore...but that's not important because I already beat the game anyway and it wouldn't be hard to recreate.
Even with your guide it took me a little over 4 hours... Still the best one and I did finally get the internal timer down for dodging. Legit the moment I realized I finally got the dodging down I quit being so aggressive and ensured my victory. The stagger tho... That was a butt clincher to ensure I got it all down as I only staggered him once and finally beat it
Woo hoo finally beat him after 3 hours! Finished it off with 2 staggers and Tifa casting Thunder. Thanks a lot!
Holy crap, this actually works well! I was able to beat him in just 5 attempts after seeing this. And on the last attempt I just focused on learning to stay alive with Tifa and building the stagger bar slowly just with regular attacks.
As it turns out this “learning attempt” did the job because his health bar was obliterated during the stagger phase. After that, one thundaga from Aerith killed him, just when I lost Tifa because I didn’t get used to his phase 2 moves.
Managed to do it on my 4th try, When he was staggered i messed up badly but didn't even care because i was just practicing for his attacks. Thank God I didnt restart, I spammed all my thundargas and Firargas and managed to get him. Ty
Omg thank you for this guide!!! I finally got him after an hour learning how to jump over when he stabs! Love your videos!
Legend!!!! This guide worked a treat! Can't believe with the right setup you can bring him down in just under 2mins incredible. I now have 100% of the trophies this was the very last one I need. Now I can shelf the game and chill for Part 2 😁
Congrats dude GGS ON THAT!
Part 2 is almost here 😮
Awesome guide. Speed run strategy would be amazing!!! Thank you!
I got you guys!
Omg I just beat him... great strategy. I messed up a LOT near the end... out of stagger he still had a good 20% health but I just spammed Thundaga with everyone as you said lol.
Thank you!! I nearly gave up on this fight completely, but your guide really helped turn things around!
Happy to hear you clutched it out to the max!
Weiss: I'm immaculate!😌
A skilled player: I'm about to end this man's career.😏
Immacuclapppppped
@@BltzZ Damn straight!😎🔥
@@BltzZ what does claped mean?
@@hirthviktor3215 It means you kicked someone’s ass.
@@BltzZ yes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
that was crazy, I almost got him at the first time, I defeated him at my 59th try. Thanks for the guide ❤😂
Thanks a lot for this guide!
Took me a few tries to get the rhythm of its attacks and stagger him, then a few more tries to deal enough damage while staggered, and it was done!
The guide made it manageable and quite easy after some practice, very detailed and useful!
I’ve been putting off getting this achievement but was able to get it thanks to this guide! It took quite a few tries in to learn Weiss’s patterns. I dropped the Tifa combo during the first time I staggered but was able to get it on the second try after I just told myself to do as much damage as possible.
This approach definitely requires you to be perfect in dodging those red attacks! I got a little frustrated at first but once I learned it got way easier (eviscerate demands quicker reaction time than the other two). So even though this guide is super thorough, this isn’t going to be an easy thing that you can do after one attempt (which is what I assumed lol).
Thanks so much for posting this guide! It was super helpful!
I'm glad to hear you crushed it! Congrats haha. Now enjoy breaking the game with triple Gotterdammerungs
thanks to you, I'm all set to play rebirth now. thank you so much for your guides and i look forward to more in the future. you the real MVP
I'm making myself Plat this and intermission first ad well lol Weiss is my last thing I need I'm doing this agter work
I decided to come back to this game to get the rest of the achievements (patiently waiting for Rebirth to come to Steam lol), just wanted to say thanks for how detailed your guide is!
man i cant thank you enough
almost done with 100% with this game thank you so F much
I tried a bunch of different strategies, but your's was the one that finally got me to beat him. Thanks a bunch :D
Just beat him using this method, thank you! Was tearing my hair out trying to beat him!
Guide worked like a charm. Once I got use to the Tifa combo it was a breeze.
She absolutely breaks this game and I love it. Congrats!
I was just practicing dodging his attacks. No pressure. No expectation that I would make a serious attempt tonight, when I got my first stagger. And then I thought, well, let's just see where this goes. I half remembered your strat, and completely fumbled Tifa's combo, but even that was sufficient and I still did enough damage that he was really low health after the phase transition. I was honestly shocked when he fell. That was a really fun fight. The dodging in the first half felt really good and Aerith is just a beast with Synergy.
Thank you!!! This is the only guide truly which helped. I only had and used 2 Fury rings on Tifa and Aerith, then gave Cloud the Götterdämmerung to land the final finishing move.
Thank you so much for this guide! I finally beat him after attempting numerous times. My heart is still racing after that... hooo.
It gets addicting too! I find myself going back for more speedruns
Only took 10 tries with this strategy thank you so much
Thank you BltzZ, great strategy got me a clean win on Weiss!!
Appreciate this vid!
This guide is perfect!! I did it in less than 10 tries and i felt like it was soo easy :D
Thanks for this (and all the others) guides
Glad it helped!
