I ended up taken them down after a few tries. Just prioritizing healing, HP ups, counter stance etc. the megaflare attack is the most annoying to avoid. I used the summon that heals the whole party.
FINALLY DONE! 1. keep healing with Cure & Cura with Barrett & Aerith from a distance, constant Counter Stance and triple slash did the trick with Cloud, and Tifa give the gotterdameung, you can use her limit breaks *AND* the self destruct technique 2. If reprieve isnt activating for Tifa, *DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WEAPON STATS* I have mine set to auto but for some reason I still had to manually go in and activate that stat
It’s just hard bro. I actually love this game because while, yes, it falls into that category sometimes of bosses and enemies being way too spongy, the hard mode in this game really makes you think about how you use your magic and when you attack and exploiting an enemies weakness. I agree it gets super frustrating but it’s soooo satisfying because when you do finally win it’s always dominant.
"So after Tifa is done pretending as if she cannot lift up Cloud..." Lol, my thoughts exactly. Tifa is freaking superwoman in every fight and every action based cutscene, unless someone's hanging from a ledge, then she's suddenly a dainty, fragile, noodle armed girl.
Cloud can bounce off walls and jump from motorcycle to motorcycle while sword swingins, Tifa can fly through the space-vacuum and kick apart a bus, but both have to gingerly walk across a floating platform in the sewer…
What would I like to see in future games? The ability to save custom gear/materia setups for quick changes later. Also, it would be nice to skip cutscenes in the middle of battles like this.
And the best part is YOU HAVE TO use guides because some bosses are seemingly impossible otherwise, one of the worst games gameplay wise I’ve ever played
Bruh I tried this. Couldnt get all 3 off the first destruct but got 2 and ended up clearing this boss. Then I get to Seph, fail a couple times and accidently hit restart from first boss. Gonna take a break from this game for a couple days. Last chapter for plat trophy.
After a dozen tries, following this guide exactly, using the exact moves (punisher+block, self-destruct, reserving ATB, limit breaks, etc.), and with some luck... finally beat this. Thank you!
Took me a couple of tries, but i finally made it. For everyone having trouble, patience is key... especially after having to watch all those goddamn cutscenes after every... single... attempt...
This was a tough fight on hard difficulty. I just finished this Areith was the last one standing she had 1 hp left when I cast Ray of Judgment on Sephiroth defeating him! That's as close as it gets! Thanks for the help BltZz!
@@BltzZ thanks for the tip!! Im gonna try it out later today! Im hating this fight! The long load time and cutscenes after getting destroyed by them :(
Dude... I had such a hard time cause of my own damn fault. Was using the somersault Limit breaker on Tifa and didn't realize it. As soon as I made the change, I one shot this fight. Good job with the guide and clear instructions.
This game has trying mechanics sometimes that feel like they shouldnt work certain ways, it happens dude. We're all still learning stuff everytime I play this! Happy to help you guys out in anyway
it works but you have to be super lucky... like tifa don't get hit went doing self destruct.. there is enough ATB at the right time.... the whispers gather together at the right timing... all these have to be happening according to plan for this to work. I got to the last phase on my first try. but was not able to get pass 3rd phase in the next 15-20 tries before i was able to kill the boss.
Bltzz this guide is awesome but unfortunately I find it very inconsistent. The start for me can be very sketchy. Sometimes Self Destruct doesn’t do half the damage it’s meant to and sometimes it does. Other times Red Whisper on its own obliterates me and sometimes the other two on their own kick my ass. I’ve done it before and got to Sephiroth which is his own separate nightmare but I can’t seem to make any headway on the Whisper battle lol. Is there any methods I can use to make it a little easier? Your guides for Hard Mode have got me this far and they’re amazing so thank you for making these guides :)
Thanks for this unique guide! I’m struggling at the point where Tifa’s limit break is about to take down bahamut: for some reason he frequently manages to interrupt her attack and one shot her. From there he goes into mega flare.... frustrated.
And to follow up my comment on your recent top secrets guide… thanks for this build guide (3 years later lol) absolutely clapped the whispers and made Seph look like a clown. I actually took a break from FF7R to go back and do remaster play throughs because of these two battles. And for you good sir I found it was only fitting to finish off Sephiroth with a Tifa limit break even though he only had a pixel of health left LOL
Every time I'm stuck on a boss I follow your guides, explanations on point and everything, (love your guides!) but this one just does not work for me for some reason. Either the whispers interrupt Tifa before she destructs, they don't group, or Bahamut kills off 2 party members. Must have tried this 15 times but it never seems to go right!
Being able to pull off what you did at the start wherein the Whisper Harbinger had no idea what to do after how quickly his lieutenants were dispatched was so satisfying. It became so awkward though just looking at the Whisper Harbinger that I started to think of any possible topics of conversation with it LOL.
Bro... Respect for this guide. Ist amazing. Here and there I tried the Selfdescruct build on bosses but Im using it mostly on aerith cause of the buff or heal. But this guide is genius bro. Can't wait 2 see more guides For FF7R. ✌️
Using it with aerith gives so much room for freedom on attacks and going ham! Thank you dude glad to loved the guide! I can't wait to get working on Remake 2 for you guys!
@@BltzZ yeah I know and on her you don't use the furyring or with it you don't need the magic ups. For her limits or you mean with the refocus you mean I guess. Refocus on her is incredible. Especially with skillmaster+atb stagger. Magic is really op in this game
It was hilarious when recording this because I thought I broke the game and was worried that this strategy may not be viable haha. I was never happier to get hit by correlation than I was in my previous recording of this. This footage was my 3rd attempt just to verify its consistency
Ummm idk about the others but I just pulled this off on my 3rd try. You just have to counter stance a lot and self destruct properly. USE TRIPLE SLASHES. They are so key. Thanks again dude
Thank you BltzZ! My warding materia was only 50% so I skipped the second and last Tifa self-destruct and used Cloud's limit at the end. Not constantly using self-destruct made me realize how easy this boss on HARD is. As you continously said, counter stance is key and a little prayer, the materia, helps!!
No problem dude! Following this build exactly will bring aerith and Tifa into that next fight. Just remember to not stagger enemies with Barret as that gives him huge points!
Most definitely they'd have to fix the doors and flowers bug where they don't render. Hopefully the skybox images above sector 5 are fixed as well. Overall it's a beautiful game but I want 60 fps or more. Than anything else!
The three Harbingers use the same weapons as Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo from Advent Children. Fun little Easter egg or maybe it's intentional and there is a deeper connection?
I’m doing my hard mode playthru currently and I have a question. Does your HP and MP completely restore before your fight with Sephiroth right after this? Since it’s the same chapter?
Advent children in my opinion was good I thought it was a good sequel to rap up everything in the story, and by far the best scene in that movie is when cloud is fighting kadaj, and falls off to grab jenovas head and absorbs the cells, cloud goes down to try and finish him, smacks him but is to late since sephiroth just comes out like a badass and says one of my favorite lines that still gives me chills when I see it, "Good to see you...... Cloud" and than that que with one winged angel playing, you know shit is about to go down
I'm really struggling in Sephiroth with the Materia used for this guide in Whisperers fight. We cannot change load outs between fights as Sephiroth is immediately next. Other guides for the final battle use another Materia set up and really take advantage from elemental to get healed when Sephiroth enters phase 3 so I'm not sure how to deal with that amount of damage. Really curious to see what you come up with in the Sephiroth fight.
No you can change your materia before you fight Sephiroth. Soon as you see the cutscene start hold down square and look at the bottom left screen. Once the cutscene is done you will be in the menu and can adjust your materia
@@BltzZ oh man, I feel really dumb now lol. Thanks! I always used to press start when out of combat to do that. Don't know how got this far without knowing that hahahah
@@BoxofMemorias lol no worries! Not all fights have that unfortunately. To my knowledge the Turks fight in chapter 11 and the Arsenal fight with Barret and aerith have that mechanic. I'm unaware of anything else having it tho but I'm sure there is
So I’m struggling doing this…. Not sure where I’m going wrong… I am self-distructing with Tifa and she isn’t getting instant limit break…. Am I doing something wrong or does that happen sometimes and it’s best to just start over to get it
I've noticed that when I use self-destruct with Tifa I don't get an instant limit break. Am I doing something wrong? I currently am on Normal mode, so I don't have reprieve on her mythril claws, but I have sephraic earrings instead which gives auto life. I do have enemy skill - hp absorb and warding (lvl1) paired with subversion.
So I've played thru the whole game on Normal, then again on Hard, but you're listing more gear and Materia than I've managed to acquire. Gear: 3rd Force Bracelet 3rd Fury Ring Materia: 2nd/3rd ATB Stagger 2nd Skill Master Did I miss a chance to collect/buy them in another chapter?
What do you do when you do not have the necessary materia for this fight because you're unprepared? Because I am missing most of the important materia and equipment here. And what do you use to do self-destruct? For some reason it's not an option for me.
Can’t get this guide to work the game has finally bested me! :( time to move on to something else this boss feels so cheap and I’m sick of watching that cutscene over and over - I have exact same set up and they interrupt all my attacks and don’t die as quickly like when cloud does a triple slash they are still standing after tifas self destruct really don’t get how you do it 😫 what am I doing wrong?
BltzZ scratch that tried again this morning with a fresh head and with refocus and ATB assist with Gotterdammerung on cloud and there was one bit I thought I was for sure dead but managed to claw it back and managed to beat them 🤣 hardest boss by far for me personally - I found the arsenal a walk in the park as I spent no MP during the entire chapter!!! Now for Sepiroth 🤪
BltzZ anihalated sepiroth he was actually a welcome fun fight after harbinger 🤣 plat done - probs my proudest ever glad I stuck with it adore this game but at least we’ve got ff16 hopefully not too many years away haha!
Hopefully it's not too far away as well! Welcome to the platinum club congrats! I'm streaming the ending(hopefully) of legend of dragoon tonight! Drop by here on TH-cam if you can
Is there a video on how to determine who is used in the boss fight against Sephiroth? I've read about the point system, but I do think a video about it could be useful to others. I especially could of used it to make sure Aerith was in my party in the fight instead of Barret. Also I really wanted to hear her line "So what, screw him" when told how tough Sephiroth is. That line is just hilarious.
Lol very hilarious! Yeah I will look into seeing if I can make a video for that format. This guide will always make tifa and aerith available. Even tho Barret does more damage I think aerith killing the harbinger at the end sets the tone but I gotta rewatch it again
@@BltzZ My best guess is during my playthroughs of the Whisper Harbinger boss fight I was relying on Tifa & Barret too much, not allowing Aerith to get in much involvement. Particularly because I was trying to prevent using much MP during the fight to conserve it for the Sephiroth boss. Next playthroughs I need to remind myself to allow Aerith to get in some attacks & do the finishing blows.
Unfortunately they updated this fight and made the patterns very sporadic and unpredictable. The only solid way to beat this is to triple slash and counter stance with cloud a lot!. Also if you have gotterdameung use it on tifa for the bahamut portion of this fight. Good luck dude, even I had trouble with this fight a few weeks ago when we did a replay
Ya gotta try out Legend of Legaia. That game was one of the all time greatest JRPG with a battle system that was so different from other JRPGs. But it was so easy to learn and the story is well done.(XIII)
You got this! To make it easier. Be sure to use elemtnal and fire on the armor slots so ifrit can heal you it he comes out. Also 1 blizzaga from ifrit can KO ifrit easy
@@UNKNWN96 updated strat would be counterstrike everything with cloud & use tifa gotterdamerung dolphin flurry to aoe round up. When aerith joins in make sure she has synergy paired to lightning and focused strike spam with tifa
This build doesn't work if the suggested materia isn't maxed out. At the start the whispers are scattered/don't focus on Cloud when he goes up to the yellow one. Mr yellow dude never tries to attack cloud so he can't get the counter off that one but can on one of the other two. I can usually get to the 2nd phase but everyone is low health and no atb so not able to heal/rez/survive. I don't know how to level up materia at this point since the game is so linear and I got to this point on hard mode only to get stuck and not get platinum which is a real bummer.
On normal you'd have to make sure warding is maxed out but I'm not sure if you already have that. This guide is meant for hard mode but try it out and let me know how it works!
"Sorry this video ran for song long, but these cut-scenes.... which I didn't edit out because I wanted to plug my content instead" - yeah fair, gotta do the content creator spiel, ha ha.
Lmao! 👀 Gotta bring home the foods man TH-cam's been making it hard these days. Thanks for enjoying the video spruce! If you see us live later feel free to join the stream as we finish FF7 OG
I just got the platinum today I actually beat this boss on my first try but got lucky with the bahmut fusion He used his finisher and I managed to revive a knocked cloud at the exact time my party got wiped by him but didn’t lose since cloud was still getting up which lead to a victory in the long run
Greetings from Africa, hope you are having a lovely day. Thanks for sharing Final fantasy. I really love it so much. keep up the good work and lets connect. Full support from me.💯
Thank you Andrew! Happy to hear you love and appreciate the videos! I'm looking forward to release more as well of course I have no plans on stopping my play or uploads for this game as we have plenty of content coming! We just finished the FF7 OG stream last night but we have plans to stream much more and classic games. Hit the notification bell so you don't miss out when we go live!
Should have also shown how to take care of sephiroth with this build since the game treats them as a series and you can’t change your load out before sephiroth...
You actually can if you hold square during the sephiroth battle intro cutscene. It'll open the menu to change your build up as you see fit. Check the bottom left as sephiroth floats down towards cloud to face off. And hold square
This is clearly not working for me. First of all, after doing Self destruct with Tifa, her limit break is not ready, so everything goes south. Another weird thing is that most of the times I have to use Arise, my character gets interrupted (any of them) and I don't manage to revive them - not to mention that I lose the MP used for that...
Is there reason why Tifa dies when I use self destruct? I have the same materia equipped and all of them are maxed out but she does and then I’m scrambling to get her revived. edit: I should probably grind out some more SP and get Reprieve 😅
@@BltzZ do you recommend changing your materia or carrying this Tifa self destruct build into it. I seem to have Aerith as the first party member to join me, is that right?
@@BltzZ Thanks, surely it only takes you 5 minutes to make and edit a video (😂 I’m kidding, it must take you weeks) but your videos are without doubt the clearest to follow. Anyway I’ll give it a few more attempts, it’s actually the last thing I have to do to finally get the 100% platinum trophy, which is my only one for someone who was prime age for the original now too old to be sinking this many hours in 😂.
@mrteabag59 hahaha make it last man Its a lot of fun! Heheh on average it takes about 5 hours maybe 6 to collect and edit footage I truly appreciate that you love the content!
This method is outdated and no longer is consistent with the patterns they now follow in combat being unpredictable
Thanks for the update I thought I was just unlucky.
Any plans to update this guide before rebirth?
I got here 5 days too late T_T
I ended up taken them down after a few tries. Just prioritizing healing, HP ups, counter stance etc. the megaflare attack is the most annoying to avoid. I used the summon that heals the whole party.
FINALLY DONE!
1. keep healing with Cure & Cura with Barrett & Aerith from a distance, constant Counter Stance and triple slash did the trick with Cloud, and Tifa give the gotterdameung, you can use her limit breaks *AND* the self destruct technique
2. If reprieve isnt activating for Tifa, *DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WEAPON STATS* I have mine set to auto but for some reason I still had to manually go in and activate that stat
@@TYfariguyon the last chapter gonna try to get this done 😭
Feels like they did everything they possibly could to make this fight an absolutely miserable experience so this is very appreciated
Agreed
It’s just hard bro. I actually love this game because while, yes, it falls into that category sometimes of bosses and enemies being way too spongy, the hard mode in this game really makes you think about how you use your magic and when you attack and exploiting an enemies weakness. I agree it gets super frustrating but it’s soooo satisfying because when you do finally win it’s always dominant.
"So after Tifa is done pretending as if she cannot lift up Cloud..." Lol, my thoughts exactly. Tifa is freaking superwoman in every fight and every action based cutscene, unless someone's hanging from a ledge, then she's suddenly a dainty, fragile, noodle armed girl.
Lolol the consistency needs to be fixed in remake part 2! She can punch and dunk giant robots for Pete's sake!
Cloud can bounce off walls and jump from motorcycle to motorcycle while sword swingins, Tifa can fly through the space-vacuum and kick apart a bus, but both have to gingerly walk across a floating platform in the sewer…
The realism is too real and unreal at the same time I love it!
@Edwin Alberty that's called ludonarrative dissonance
Tifa also can kick metal steel beams out the way and not break her legs but pulling up cloud is where she draws the line lol
What would I like to see in future games? The ability to save custom gear/materia setups for quick changes later. Also, it would be nice to skip cutscenes in the middle of battles like this.
The only problem with these guides is they need to executed it perfectly, 1 second delay is all it takes to get fucked up and have to start again
And the best part is YOU HAVE TO use guides because some bosses are seemingly impossible otherwise, one of the worst games gameplay wise I’ve ever played
Bruh I tried this. Couldnt get all 3 off the first destruct but got 2 and ended up clearing this boss. Then I get to Seph, fail a couple times and accidently hit restart from first boss. Gonna take a break from this game for a couple days. Last chapter for plat trophy.
Were you able to get it bro. God that's soul crushing. I've had similar instances in past games
After a dozen tries, following this guide exactly, using the exact moves (punisher+block, self-destruct, reserving ATB, limit breaks, etc.), and with some luck... finally beat this. Thank you!
Sorry! its a very inconsistent guide. I was trying to do something different and cool and I am sorry for giving you all a headache with this lol
Took me a couple of tries, but i finally made it. For everyone having trouble, patience is key... especially after having to watch all those goddamn cutscenes after every... single... attempt...
This was a tough fight on hard difficulty. I just finished this Areith was the last one standing she had 1 hp left when I cast Ray of Judgment on Sephiroth defeating him! That's as close as it gets! Thanks for the help BltZz!
I've finally done it! Just got Platinum! A huge chunk of the credit goes to you and your videos my dude, thank you so much. Can't wait for part 2!
Congrats my friend you deserve it!
I haven't struggled with hard mode at all in this game! Soon as this 3 fuckers appeared im getting destroyed like literally destroyed :(
Don't worry about this method it's inconsistent! Focus on triple slashing nonstop with cloud and pressure stagger them instantly with focus attacks
@@BltzZ thanks for the tip!! Im gonna try it out later today! Im hating this fight! The long load time and cutscenes after getting destroyed by them :(
man i can't believe i died at the very end and now i have to do all this again, hopefully this build will help me. Thanks!
Dude... I had such a hard time cause of my own damn fault. Was using the somersault Limit breaker on Tifa and didn't realize it. As soon as I made the change, I one shot this fight. Good job with the guide and clear instructions.
This is why the FF7 gameplay is good because of that materia combinations
2:42 damn that is a satisfying play time!!!!
We've been going absolutely crazy on the playtime haha and it's still going up! Shooting for 400 hours before FF7R2 comes out
Thanks for the guide brotha. This fight almost wrecked me in normal mode as is. Appreciate ya.
You're welcome Patrick I'm happy to help out so the next time you play them you blast their cheeks away!
I found this battle to be so difficult, but with your method it is more straight forward. I feel like a noob in this game.
This game has trying mechanics sometimes that feel like they shouldnt work certain ways, it happens dude. We're all still learning stuff everytime I play this! Happy to help you guys out in anyway
Tifa is a wrecking ball!! Look forward to watching this.
I cannot think of another way to describe tbh haha great!
I've got Tifa with not quite those stats, but pretty close, and her self-destruct does about 3k damage and barely fills her limit bar.
Sit n00b
Great - I basically need all the Materia maxed out that I never used before :D
fr
Dude linking HP Up to do self destruct is so smart!!! I never thought of that!
It's such a great combo! Enjoy my dude there are so many fun uses especially with algid aura!
@@BltzZ It's I shame that I was never interested to use those enemy skills. Will try em out soon!
Oh for sure dude they are the best materias in the game for sure
HP is vital it's what can keep you alive, it can take your HP from 5000 to 9999 fully maxed out.
Literally tried this method 15 times and die every time
Same
Yeah don't think it works anymore
it works but you have to be super lucky... like tifa don't get hit went doing self destruct.. there is enough ATB at the right time.... the whispers gather together at the right timing... all these have to be happening according to plan for this to work. I got to the last phase on my first try. but was not able to get pass 3rd phase in the next 15-20 tries before i was able to kill the boss.
This is so rare to work...
@@Utubeg33k tha's way too much lol

BltzZ That and “So....... this Sephiroth guy is kind of a jerk noh?” 😂
Lool poor harbinger
Yeahh! Let's rock!! This battle is so tough in Hard mode. Really look forward for your guide in this battle, bro.
Hope you enjoy this one dude! It's a fun fight overall now haha they just get blown to smithereens and have no idea on what to do
Can't get this to work for the life of me
Same here lol

Wait... THAT WAS WHAT DICTATES WHICH TEAMMATES YOU GET IN TGE SEPHIROTH FIGHT!???!?? This changes everything!! Dude thanks for the info BltzZ!!
No problem dude! Following this build exactly will bring aerith and Tifa into that next fight. Just remember to not stagger enemies with Barret as that gives him huge points!
I consider Advent Children (both versions) to be underrated. I personally love it.
I like it too especially the ending. The 2005 voice acting doesn't bother me much but it's funny sometimes
I really enjoyed this fight on hard. When the PS5 comes out im replaying ff7 remake again
I'm going to replay this game like 7 more times on the PS5 hopefully then remake part 2 will be here. But knowing me that'll only be a few weeks lol
BltzZ I’m curious to see if they make any graphical improvements I will start fresh top to bottom
Most definitely they'd have to fix the doors and flowers bug where they don't render. Hopefully the skybox images above sector 5 are fixed as well. Overall it's a beautiful game but I want 60 fps or more. Than anything else!
This doesnt work anymore making the vid kind of moot
Im playing it at ps5 and its insane!!
Thanks man! Without your guides I wouldn't have gotten platinum. You are a king 👑!!!
I have tifas build exactly as you say but her limit break does not fill completely
The three Harbingers use the same weapons as Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo from Advent Children.
Fun little Easter egg or maybe it's intentional and there is a deeper connection?
I’m doing my hard mode playthru currently and I have a question. Does your HP and MP completely restore before your fight with Sephiroth right after this? Since it’s the same chapter?
Yes, unless you're on Hard difficulty, then it's just HP.
I'd like to see more FF14 type mechanics, the boss fights in that game are so very well done. Honestly the best part of that game.
Question, it you already received the Gotterdammerung, would you recommend a swap on a party members Fury Ring? And if so, who and when to use it?
I finally got my platinum on here thanks to this. You ROCK!!!
Advent children in my opinion was good I thought it was a good sequel to rap up everything in the story, and by far the best scene in that movie is when cloud is fighting kadaj, and falls off to grab jenovas head and absorbs the cells, cloud goes down to try and finish him, smacks him but is to late since sephiroth just comes out like a badass and says one of my favorite lines that still gives me chills when I see it, "Good to see you...... Cloud" and than that que with one winged angel playing, you know shit is about to go down
Thanks for your guides you helped me 100% the game
Congrats that's amazing and I'm thankful for each and every single one of you guys!
I have it set exactly and I do it like in the movie, but the tifa limit will fill up once and then it dies without filling the limit ...
This dudes channel is underrated, more gamera should be subscribed
Thank you for that I really appreciate it! Much love from me and I promise in due time we'll get up there 😉
So what I'm I meant to do when the yellow whispers does a different move because it doesn't work
For the first phase feel free to keep on counter stancing to avoid more attacks and aggroo
Thanks!!!!! Finally Platinuming!
I'm really struggling in Sephiroth with the Materia used for this guide in Whisperers fight. We cannot change load outs between fights as Sephiroth is immediately next. Other guides for the final battle use another Materia set up and really take advantage from elemental to get healed when Sephiroth enters phase 3 so I'm not sure how to deal with that amount of damage. Really curious to see what you come up with in the Sephiroth fight.
No you can change your materia before you fight Sephiroth. Soon as you see the cutscene start hold down square and look at the bottom left screen. Once the cutscene is done you will be in the menu and can adjust your materia
@@BltzZ oh man, I feel really dumb now lol. Thanks! I always used to press start when out of combat to do that. Don't know how got this far without knowing that hahahah
@@BoxofMemorias lol no worries! Not all fights have that unfortunately. To my knowledge the Turks fight in chapter 11 and the Arsenal fight with Barret and aerith have that mechanic. I'm unaware of anything else having it tho but I'm sure there is
So I’m struggling doing this…. Not sure where I’m going wrong… I am self-distructing with Tifa and she isn’t getting instant limit break…. Am I doing something wrong or does that happen sometimes and it’s best to just start over to get it
They need to add a boss rush mode so we can fight all the bosses back to back.
Yup I'd love this! I initially thought there was with how many people were uploading boss speed runs when it came out lol
BltzZ lets hope there’re sweet content added to the inevitable PS5/PC version. Preferably with fixed door texture lol.
I've noticed that when I use self-destruct with Tifa I don't get an instant limit break. Am I doing something wrong?
I currently am on Normal mode, so I don't have reprieve on her mythril claws, but I have sephraic earrings instead which gives auto life.
I do have enemy skill - hp absorb and warding (lvl1) paired with subversion.
So I've played thru the whole game on Normal, then again on Hard, but you're listing more gear and Materia than I've managed to acquire.
Gear:
3rd Force Bracelet
3rd Fury Ring
Materia:
2nd/3rd ATB Stagger
2nd Skill Master
Did I miss a chance to collect/buy them in another chapter?
What do you do when you do not have the necessary materia for this fight because you're unprepared? Because I am missing most of the important materia and equipment here. And what do you use to do self-destruct? For some reason it's not an option for me.
Can’t get this guide to work the game has finally bested me! :( time to move on to something else this boss feels so cheap and I’m sick of watching that cutscene over and over - I have exact same set up and they interrupt all my attacks and don’t die as quickly like when cloud does a triple slash they are still standing after tifas self destruct really don’t get how you do it 😫 what am I doing wrong?
Oh nooo! Your materias are all maxed out and you got the same weapons on?
BltzZ scratch that tried again this morning with a fresh head and with refocus and ATB assist with Gotterdammerung on cloud and there was one bit I thought I was for sure dead but managed to claw it back and managed to beat them 🤣 hardest boss by far for me personally - I found the arsenal a walk in the park as I spent no MP during the entire chapter!!! Now for Sepiroth 🤪
Yooo you got this! Congrats for clapping their cheeks!!
BltzZ anihalated sepiroth he was actually a welcome fun fight after harbinger 🤣 plat done - probs my proudest ever glad I stuck with it adore this game but at least we’ve got ff16 hopefully not too many years away haha!
Hopefully it's not too far away as well! Welcome to the platinum club congrats! I'm streaming the ending(hopefully) of legend of dragoon tonight! Drop by here on TH-cam if you can
Is there a video on how to determine who is used in the boss fight against Sephiroth? I've read about the point system, but I do think a video about it could be useful to others. I especially could of used it to make sure Aerith was in my party in the fight instead of Barret. Also I really wanted to hear her line "So what, screw him" when told how tough Sephiroth is. That line is just hilarious.
Lol very hilarious! Yeah I will look into seeing if I can make a video for that format. This guide will always make tifa and aerith available. Even tho Barret does more damage I think aerith killing the harbinger at the end sets the tone but I gotta rewatch it again
@@BltzZ My best guess is during my playthroughs of the Whisper Harbinger boss fight I was relying on Tifa & Barret too much, not allowing Aerith to get in much involvement. Particularly because I was trying to prevent using much MP during the fight to conserve it for the Sephiroth boss. Next playthroughs I need to remind myself to allow Aerith to get in some attacks & do the finishing blows.
I farmed all that materias for trying this build, i'm going to play it today
Take your time with it and remember if it doesn't work out feel free to just go ahead with slthe traditional method
Algid aura
Spirit siphon
bad breath how did you get these for Tifa?
how do you get the patty materia i don’t seem to have it
Can you make an updated strategy for this fight?? Please 😭
Unfortunately they updated this fight and made the patterns very sporadic and unpredictable. The only solid way to beat this is to triple slash and counter stance with cloud a lot!. Also if you have gotterdameung use it on tifa for the bahamut portion of this fight. Good luck dude, even I had trouble with this fight a few weeks ago when we did a replay
Ya gotta try out Legend of Legaia. That game was one of the all time greatest JRPG with a battle system that was so different from other JRPGs. But it was so easy to learn and the story is well done.(XIII)
I have it on the list to play on live stream very soon maybe in november!
Casually trying this to platinum my game~ I made it all the way to Bahamut on my first try! Then Tifa got hot hard... oh so hard... Gotta keep trying!
You got this! To make it easier. Be sure to use elemtnal and fire on the armor slots so ifrit can heal you it he comes out. Also 1 blizzaga from ifrit can KO ifrit easy
So why do you need the warding materia with subversion if it kills your anyway without reprieve? What does it do? Am I missing something?
Might take a while, but I would suggest Xenogears to try if you're going for PS1 Square RPGs to go though. Its one of the best imo.
I forgot to name Xenogears but I have it downloaded as well!
hey man how do you gain the full limit when you self-destruct,my tifa gets half,what am i doing wrong?
What would your updated strategy be for this fight? I just got to chapter 18 and it sucks that this vid is now outdated lol
@@UNKNWN96 updated strat would be counterstrike everything with cloud & use tifa gotterdamerung dolphin flurry to aoe round up. When aerith joins in make sure she has synergy paired to lightning and focused strike spam with tifa
Does Deadly Dodge materia works on non active party member? Coz if no it is a waste of materia slots
do you think our stuff will carry over from 7 remake
im not getting self destruct on tifa is did a patch change something?
This build doesn't work if the suggested materia isn't maxed out. At the start the whispers are scattered/don't focus on Cloud when he goes up to the yellow one. Mr yellow dude never tries to attack cloud so he can't get the counter off that one but can on one of the other two. I can usually get to the 2nd phase but everyone is low health and no atb so not able to heal/rez/survive. I don't know how to level up materia at this point since the game is so linear and I got to this point on hard mode only to get stuck and not get platinum which is a real bummer.
Do you have a Sephroth guide?
Bro when I tell you do exactly what he said fucking do it this is sooooooo clutch
Waou always doing great content Mister Blitz... this is my favorite TH-cam channel ever 😍
Happy to hear that Johnathan! Looking forward to seeing you on the next live stream later tonight! Finishing up FF7 OG
@@BltzZ I was so busy lately at work that I couldn't watch your latests videos but now I'm like a student doing his homework...
I'm going to practice this method on normal too than finish the last chapter this is going to help a lot 🙏
On normal you'd have to make sure warding is maxed out but I'm not sure if you already have that. This guide is meant for hard mode but try it out and let me know how it works!
When I use self destruct, it KOs Tifa for me. I have Enemy Skill paired with HP Absorb, and Subversion+Warding.
What am I doing wrong?
"Sorry this video ran for song long, but these cut-scenes.... which I didn't edit out because I wanted to plug my content instead" - yeah fair, gotta do the content creator spiel, ha ha.
Lmao! 👀 Gotta bring home the foods man TH-cam's been making it hard these days. Thanks for enjoying the video spruce! If you see us live later feel free to join the stream as we finish FF7 OG
I love the cut scenes and never get sick of them. This is a channel worth plugging 😁
Can’t wait to see the builds on this one.
What's up lue! It's a fun build and breaks a few mechanics in this fight lol
I just got the platinum today
I actually beat this boss on my first try but got lucky with the bahmut fusion
He used his finisher and I managed to revive a knocked cloud at the exact time my party got wiped by him but didn’t lose since cloud was still getting up which lead to a victory in the long run
Greetings from Africa, hope you are having a lovely day. Thanks for sharing Final fantasy. I really love it so much. keep up the good work and lets connect. Full support from me.💯
Thank you Andrew! Happy to hear you love and appreciate the videos! I'm looking forward to release more as well of course I have no plans on stopping my play or uploads for this game as we have plenty of content coming! We just finished the FF7 OG stream last night but we have plans to stream much more and classic games. Hit the notification bell so you don't miss out when we go live!
@@BltzZ I have already subscribed. I will get the notifications
Awesome used tifa like that, good bound materias with her
Why do i not get limit break with Tifa?
Dang this fight looks crazy
It's a intense one haha thanks for checking it out bro
This guy sounds like Roxas, I love it 😻
Roxas from the Kingdom hearts games? Haha I never heard that, interesting
Should have also shown how to take care of sephiroth with this build since the game treats them as a series and you can’t change your load out before sephiroth...
You actually can if you hold square during the sephiroth battle intro cutscene. It'll open the menu to change your build up as you see fit. Check the bottom left as sephiroth floats down towards cloud to face off. And hold square
This is clearly not working for me. First of all, after doing Self destruct with Tifa, her limit break is not ready, so everything goes south. Another weird thing is that most of the times I have to use Arise, my character gets interrupted (any of them) and I don't manage to revive them - not to mention that I lose the MP used for that...
Is there reason why Tifa dies when I use self destruct? I have the same materia equipped and all of them are maxed out but she does and then I’m scrambling to get her revived.
edit: I should probably grind out some more SP and get Reprieve 😅
Oh damn! Haha yes definitely get the reprieve :D
Unfortunately I do not have maxed out materia and I'm just not used to doing anything with the fury ring 😕😅
I'm gunna have to think this through
Haha no worries no need to go through with this method there are plenty of ways to beat them easily I just found this one so much fun!
Counterstance is the mvp of this fight.
Counterstance and Tifas fists and legs!
Hello, If I were to equip all this would I also be able to beat the Sephiroth boss fight with this set-up as well?
You can hold square before fighting sephiroth to change your equipment before the fight. Look at the bottom left of the cutscene
@@BltzZ Oh. thanks for the tip
Will this work on Sephiroth?
I tried Broadcasting this part on Twitch and it was blocked, why is that?
Square enix is weird and views chapter 18 as a spoiler and they block it if you're streaming it from a console
Your explanation are so perfect
Where’s the sephiroth boss fight guide?
Where the hel do u get self destuct from?
My Tifa never gets reprieve. And it never kills the whisper. I keep seeing resist. Is there something I'm missing?
Where is the Sephiroth fight that happens straight after? Can you not save your progress or do you have to do both back to back
It auto saves, before the Sephiroth fight you can hold square in the beginning cutscene to open your menu and change up your materia
@@BltzZ do you recommend changing your materia or carrying this Tifa self destruct build into it. I seem to have Aerith as the first party member to join me, is that right?
I think aerith with self destruct would be good cuz you can limit break and do her planets protection for Sephiroths 3rd phase
@@BltzZ Thanks, surely it only takes you 5 minutes to make and edit a video (😂 I’m kidding, it must take you weeks) but your videos are without doubt the clearest to follow.
Anyway I’ll give it a few more attempts, it’s actually the last thing I have to do to finally get the 100% platinum trophy, which is my only one for someone who was prime age for the original now too old to be sinking this many hours in 😂.
@mrteabag59 hahaha make it last man Its a lot of fun! Heheh on average it takes about 5 hours maybe 6 to collect and edit footage I truly appreciate that you love the content!
Very Very impressivly indepth tutorial. See you in the stream tonight.
Thanks alacote! See you on the stream!
