This boss was so poorly designed. You would expect a boss made to test Red's unique play style and highlight it but the boss is just a clusterfuck of debuffs and knock backs to stop you from tanking everything with Barret and to keep you constantly healing. Not to mention the boss is semi airborne Red can't even touch it half the time only making it unnecessarily more difficult for Red to charge ATB. Now I'm not saying all bosses should cater to a specific strategy but if you're going to be locked into Red and Barret you would think the character's kit would be helpful, but not this boss no...
Finally cleared mine. Fire Elem defense lets you heal during the skull swarm, which is also the time I used to max both synergy pools to hit him immediately after the last skull dies; this mitigates the really bad debuffs you’re otherwise fighting with. Do enough cycles this way and you’ll have 2 lv3 Limits to unload when the countdown starts. “You got this!”
first couple times I used your build I kept getting tore up by Gi, so I went back and swapped in Time, he never had a chance after he was Stopped. Got him down and then hit him with both Level 3 limits. Thanks for your help!
I recommend the karmic kowl vs the safety bit. Gives you defense and magic defense and protection from instant death. I relied heavy of red to be dps. I had barret activate life saver and prioritized healing. Would switch to increase stagger gauge. You can also use raise on Gi when he does his command grab to force him to drop your character.
the safety bits will only protect you from the souls he spawns that insta kill, the doom clock instakill is unavoidable. well actually i didn't use safety bits. i used karmic cowls.
Was tough but I got him in one go was able to hit him with two limit breaks with Barrett expeditionary medal , gave red 13 limit support materia so all the limits automatically went to Barrett
Yup, that's the way. You can't go wrong with Expeditionary medal, since the harder the fight is and the more you die and get resurrected, the more level 3 limits you get. You just got to heal through the damage and make sure both of them are not dead at the same time
@@Gennosuke1983 yeah I also think luck was a factor for me. I struggled a lot with some of the other bosses like hours for some so I was surprised to see people found this one tough, maybe the boss didn’t do his worst attacks on me. After I finish this first hard mode run and max everything out I’m gonna do a second hard mode run straight through and demolish all these bosses that took so much time earlier
Im glad i had gotterdamerung for this fight. His standard combos should be fully blockable, it was annoying but synergy skill interuptions and upgraded limit break did enough damage and stagger.
Emphasizing to please use this build. Might take you a few tries like me but I was able to kill this boss using this build. Take note that my materia are not even fully leveled up. Kudos to powerpyx as always. 👌🏻
This fight was so easy once I decided to just load up Red and Barret with the Fury Ring and Genji Earings and just UNLOAD on his ass. I effectively pressured and staggered him three times in the fight. At one point in phase two he grabbed Red and drained him down to 100 HP. Barret staggered Gi Nattak just in time for Red to use Reaper Claws back to back for 9,999 each. At that point he’s in phase three and I used the Synergy Ability followed up with both Red and Barret’s Limits to drop his ass instantly.
You need some luck for the fight. It took me about an hour or so to get the proper luck. If you constantly switch characters on whoever he’s not focused on and just rush and don’t worry about parrying you have a better chance against this guy. A bad habit for some later fights like Rufus or the Charley sims but good against him. But try to be on Barrett as much as possible though. Also if you put provoke on Barret you might have an easier time.
@@Coldsilfur4 you apparently dont know what hard mode is... You unkock hard mode by first beating the game on easy,normal, or dynamic. You need to beat every chapter again on hard mode to get the manuscripts after each boss. You cannot change the difficulty from hard to easy without restarting the chapter and it does absolutely nothing to do that anyways since the purpose is to complete the chapter on hard mode to get the folio scripts. Not sure why you even said anything...
Ik its a lil late, the secret is to hit him really, really hard. Equip the Expeditionary Medal and Limit Boost accessories, and Limit Support materia on the guy with the boost. It'll all go to the guy with the medal. Both accessories say "start of battle" but they actually reset on death for free lvl 3 limits as a reward for doing bad. This way you can spend your synergy on blocking, teleporting out of attacks, and United Refocus to help obliterate the Souls fast and get back to getting your butt kicked.
If you have karmic cowl and enhanced karmic cowl, they'll give you instant death protection +30, +50 respectively to vitality and spirit. My original approach was very similar to this but the doom clock kept running out when there was no visible orange left to his life bar. Probably 1-1000hp left at most, ii wasn't using poison, though. So i wasted a bunch of time trying other builds that went for quicker kills, which had no room for revives. None of them panned out, because RNGs hate me. Anyway, i finally took him out after going back to a build like this.
I've gotten him down to a stagger and used limits on him after the doom counter starts and I keep getting insta-death before he dies, even with safety bits on. I don't understand it because the timer hasn't run out yet. I wish I knew what was causing this so I could avoid it 😢
Was having problems till I used Bioga, seemed like it made such a huge difference. Also saved lvl 3 limits for 3rd phase which was an instant delete lol
This fight was horrible, but I found using stop on it really helped give me some breathing room to build atb and again once it’s staggered to demolish it.
Let’s put FF14 mechanics in an offline game in where you control 2 characters and get animation locked. Kitase is an old fool who needs to quickly retire out of the industry.
Okay something I don't understand is this whole boss fight he didn't shrink the room on you... Is there a reason why? He constantly nerfing my characters hp and mp its the only reason he's giving me trouble
When he summons soul flames (14 of them), you need to kill them all asap using Stardust Ray, Maximum Fury, etc. Each one you don't kill causes a debuff (four unique ones, including shrinking the arena) so that's why.
First try. How are people atruggling? Apply the pressure peeps and dont let up x Doom too fast? Magnify your haste and yiur manawall to plough through without interupts. X

This is my least favourite fight in the game
Worst fight in the game.
Least favorite chapter in the game

Thank-you for your video. Was able to complete the HM fight after 3-4 attempts with this setup.

THE MOST HELPFUL video on this fight!
Fuck this boss, his insta kills ignore safety bit, at least they for me, only thing keeping me from beating him on Hard.
Overcharge and maximum fury with barret to kill the little insta-kill skulls
@@BaldingSasquatchholding square with RED + Solar flare is also nice for AoE damage..
the safety bits will only protect you from the souls he spawns that insta kill, the doom clock instakill is unavoidable.

Just beat him on hard mode not many other boss gave me trouble but he definitely the hardest to beat so far took me many tries

How do you get more than one set of genji stuff?
@@michaelhanson5773 I didn’t. I only have one set of each. But earrings is appropriately plural. Because there’s always two in a single set.
This was what worked for me. Optinoob's didn't seem to let Red XIII survive the attacks. At least with this i could heal :)
My dude
You must feel like such a badass , all us comin to you for help
Thank you! I was so lost on how to fight this guy
I can’t kill him and I’ve been at it even with this strategy and I’m about to end myself. I’ve been at it for four hours

Change difficulty to easy then?

You can also sleep and stop him but dont spam cause he builds resistance.

His damn grab is the best thing since Melee's Marth wtf
Was having problems till I used Bioga, seemed like it made such a huge difference. Also saved lvl 3 limits for 3rd phase which was an instant delete lol
Thank you!
This fight was horrible, but I found using stop on it really helped give me some breathing room to build atb and again once it’s staggered to demolish it.
there's no strategy to this mess of a boss , just keep dumping your most powerful abilities to eventually pressure stagger it
How do you block the Red and Blue Magic attacks and dodge the Grab that drains your HP completely?
Sentinel Stance will block the blue ones. But not the red ones...you have to dodge those
You can also cast cura on him while he is casting the red flame spell and it will stun him out of it
Thankss, lov u❤️

Safety Bits doesn't work... he kill me whatever i try

@@AyAerith thank you, I beat him today. I read the description and it helped. Appreciate the comment
Safetybit didn’t work for me
3 hours later and I find this... completed it on the 3rd attempt 🙄😂
Thank you !!!! I was blocked a this boss !!!
Where did you get the third magnify materia?
It's from Charly doing legendary fights its 3rd or 4th fight its pretty easy with lightning build have petrified reais and cloud solo can solo them
The boss is not really hard. Red's kit is just lame which makes this boss very difficult.
Can you try a phoenix down on it? What would happen? X potion doesnt insta kill anymore
You can't use items in hard mode
no but you can use Raise on it, it doesnt do any damage but it interrups him...useful if he grabs you
Safety Bit won’t work for this fight 🤦♀️ better off using something that’ll at least boost your stats
where are you getting those weapons and gear from??
Last chapter
英語版でもレッドの声明るくなるんだな
Going in chapter order and have to say, this boss is the worst so far ..
Ótima estragia! passei depois de umas 5 tentativas mais não usei poison! vou passar a usar mais poison vi que ta pegando em quase todos os chefes!
First try. How are people atruggling? Apply the pressure peeps and dont let up x
Doom too fast? Magnify your haste and yiur manawall to plough through without interupts. X
man i tell ya, after doin all those legendary bout challenges these hard boss fights aint that hard with the right build
Nerf that boss hardly
Easy clap
Every comment for these hard mode videos is just people crying I love it lmao
why? are you stupid?
This may be where I give up.
Moving way to fast. Can't read or see any of the materia. Terrible guide.
there is this thing call a pause button, try to use it instead of bitching about someone who spent their time trying to help other gamers
U must be using a Nokia phone that has snake game on it.
bad
