Battle Preparation and Battle Guide

Battle reference video


Battle Preparation

With the equipment and materiel composition introduced above, you will attack mainly by operating the following.

1st Round・Shiva→Cloud

2nd Round・Fat Chocobo→Cloud & Tifa

3rd Round・Liviathan→More on that later in the third round.

4th Round・Bahamut & Ifrit→Cloud, Tifa and Aerith

5th Round→Three people, mainly Tifa.


1st Round:Shiva

Set the Ice Materia=Elemental Materia on the armor side. You can absorb Shiva's attacks.

Don't switch controls to anything other than Cloud, and attack with Punisher Mode Attack -> Triple Slash.


・About 30-40% of HP remaining.

Use Diamond Dust around this time.

Before that, use Aeris' fire to get it to Pressure and bring it to staggerd.

Once you're in a staggerd state, True Strike all at once with Tifa, then take it down with Cloud's Triple Slash and Aeris' fire type spell.


2nd Round:Fat Chocobo

Attack with Cloud mainly, and from the staggerd state, attack with Tifa. Give them both a Haste first.

Bomb and Tonberry can be beaten with Cloud's Triple Slash to focus on the Fat Chocobo.

If you wear a Fury Ring, you can be in a Pressure state at short intervals.

When "Wark Wark!" appears above the enemy's head, make a big wheel attack. Keep on your guard.

The Fat Chocobo's staggered state is longer than that of other enemies.

Repeat Tifa's attack and then the True Strike until the stagger state is over.

Cloud and Aeris should build up their ATB gauge and attack them all at once with Triple Slash and Thundaga.


3rd Round:Leviathan

Enemies will aim at the control character, so you can predict the moves they will use at a distance from you.

Since auto characters have a high level of guard performance, I recommend taking advantage of this mechanism to take turns in the fight.


・When it's just around the corner.→Tail Whip or Gyre Spume

They mainly use it when Cloud or Tifa is attacking at close quarters.

As soon as this technique name appears on the Leviathan's HP gauge, switch to Aerith and then immediately turn to attack.

Cloud and Tifa will have a high chance of guarding you.


・When you're far away.→Briny Bellow or Briny Barrage

It's mainly used when Aeris is attacking from a distance.

As soon as this technique name appears on the Leviathan's HP gauge, immediately switch to Cloud or Tifa, then immediately turn to attack.

Aerith will have a high chance of guarding this one as well.


・Spinning Dive

Let's switch operations to the cloud. They will charge twice from the outer perimeter, but you can deal damage in one go by setting up a Conterstance!(Counter blow are not allowed.)

Make sure you have two ATBs in the cloud before this comes along.

It's easy to understand the movement before the assault, so I think a Conterstance can be successful right away.


・It's easy to get into Pressure state

With a high magic power Aerith, Arcane Ward -> Thundaga can immediately put you in a HEAT state.

Try to defeat it before it goes into flight mode.

Ideally, you should be able to defeat it after one stagger, or reduce it to 5% of your remaining HP.

While in flight mode, the tornado will follow the controlled character.

Target the main body of Leviathan with Thunder in the order in which the ATB has accumulated.


4th Round:Bahamut&Ifrit(Summoned on the way)

This is the trickiest fight for me personally.

Don't think too much about preserving MP until the 5th round and fight as hard as you can.

At first, they'll attack physically, so use Cloud's Punisher mode to counter the guard, and then when the ATB builds up, put a Haste on Aeris.


・When it is difficult to manipulate Counter attack and counterstance

Bahamut has a lot of continuous attacks and long behavior.

Since the guard doesn't have time to move, it's recommended that you quickly switch to another companion and turn to attack.

Let's keep going until we defeat this fighting style.


・Count down→Pressure Chance!

Cloud is a Punisher Mode attack -> Triple Slash, Tifa is a True Strike, Aeris should hit Sandaga for heavy damage to put her in Pressure.

Note that when the Pressured state ends, the Umbral Aura (purple light) will blast Bahamut's central area for damage.

If it's difficult to get staggered, use Triple Slash, True Strike, etc. to do damage instead of staggerd-oriented moves.


・Summoning Ifrit.

Aim for Bahamut as a priority even after Efreet appears.

When the summoning gauge builds up, summon Shiva.

If your Limit Gauge is maxed out, aim intensively even if Bahamut has only a few HP left.

Ifrit can be easily defeated with Shiva's abilities, Triple Slash, and Thundaga to put him in a Pressured state.


5th Round:Pride and Joy Prototype

Attack mainly with Tifa, which has a physical attack of lightning attribute(LightningMateria=Elemental Materia).

First of all, give everyone a Haste and keep the Arcane Ward deployed.

It's safer to attack from the side or behind as they can shoot lasers and gunfire at the front or catch you.

Tifa is a normal attack and True Strike.

Cloud and Aerith should ride the Arcane Ward in the order in which the ATB has accumulated and concentrate on Thundaga.


・Target right leg and left leg added→Fainting Chance!

The right and left legs are added to the target early on.

From here, it's enough to focus on either the right leg or the left leg until you take it down.(It will lead to damage to the main body.)

Destroying either of the two legs will stun you, so attack in the same pattern at once.

Once you get used to it, it can be revived and then immediately stunned again.
