BEST Hell House Boss HARD MODE Guide | Final Fantasy 7 Remake

[@giewell872]

I just want to share this: If you're having trouble dodging the Chair Salvo BS have a spare ATB, you can cast Aerith's Lustrous Shield to effortlessly cover yourself.

[@BltzZ]

Bruhh I didn't even think about that haha I forget that move exists sometimes! Great tip I appreciate that!

[@SneakyTanuki]

@@BltzZ Lustruous shield was clutch for me against Eligor with his lance rain

[@tajikaragaming9613]

Lustrous Shield is kinda OP if you ask me. It even stops Tonberry's Scourge attack if placed properly. Also, you can cast Lustrous Shield in the boss fight against, The Arsenal when he's using Charge, Homing Laser against you. Enjoy!!!

[@tarutso]

Yeh dude lustrous shield so OP esp arsenal

[@verislie]

Yep, lustrous shield when maining Aerith for a fight is clutch. Which are basically ranged oriented bosses. Also, staying at range will generally limit a boss's AI to a smaller variety of attacks (Eligor is a big example) Against arsenal, lustrous is amazing, for hell house, I set up a triangle of shields in my wards for the chairs and rockets. But my characters were squishy at that point in hard mode (I only obtained bahamut post game, but never used hp/mp/etc materia before starting hard mode)

[@RevelationOne]

Took 50 tries and 100 videos, found yours and did it on my first try 💯💯💯

[@BltzZ]

Dude I'm super happy to hear that! Very glad this is still helping many of you guys out. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on FF7 remake news we have coming out constantly.

[@Trignama1]

This was the first time on Hard Mode, where I thought the game was actually hard lol

[@BltzZ]

Haha I'm sure it got to alot of you guys

[@Grizzle2894]

Saaaaaame. I came in to the fight with a whole lot of confidence. It took me three tries and frustratingly enough the tonberrys are what killed both times because I didn't kill them in time after coming out to play lol

[@BltzZ]

Haha I'm thankful they don't have the normal amount of tonberry HP because that would've been a nightmare and a 5050 tossup lol

[@tommylee2288]

m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ2aq2eoabmjq6c Should watch above" how not to do hard mode hell house" and compare how you did on first or first 10th attempts lol.

[@valentinoaditya2458]

True. Never repeat a fight more than once, except this one. 5 times and counting

[@mappybc6097]

Don't see it mentioned anywhere here so I'll mention it. Bioga is incredibly useful in this fight. You can skip loading on several elemental materias since it will affect Hell House no matter what barrier it may have. It interrupts the boss and pressures the boss like any other -aga spell, frees up materia slots, and, the cherry on top, Hell house is not immune or even resistant to being poisoned.

[@migduh]

Does casting it more than once do additional damage?

[@FatFingers02]

@@migduhNo. Only works once and I believe it wears off in the later stages of the match. So cast it right at the beginning.

[@zerochill4326]

Counterstance. The one thing I never thought to use, because when he charges at you I just ran away and hoped for the best and got caught 9 times out of 10. Another small tip I used is to put first strike on Aerith so as soon as the battle starts cast arcane ward then immediately switch to cloud to double cast whatever the weakness is as casting takes longer than arcane ward to hit so you get that second cast off for double damage, but I'm sure it always starts off with fire, and triple slash works just as well on the tonberries as they are super weak thank god!

[@BltzZ]

Oh man if these ton berries had regular health that would've just been unfair lmao. Yes counterstance makes life much easier as cloud on hard mode haha. I didnt really use arcane ward in this fight surprisingly considering its one of my favorite moves in this game. I just hate when the house jumps directly in the middle where my ward is haha

[@billyfish508]

Dont know how many times i said the f word in this boss

[@supersaiyaman11589]

@@klaudiasiestrzencewicz1268 i am and iv gotten so close just out of reach of beating hell house

[@jaxsonfanta5420]

The only thing I could maybe add to this amazing guide is you can cast sleep on the hell house and it works most of the time, especially if cloud is using mythrill edge with its debuffing weakness. I did that with tarrot cards on cloud and he was able to control hell house really well (like whenever he does the run chomp at you as soon as phase 2 begins just have cloud sleep it.) Oh and Running Aerith into a little corner and putting up her sunflower shield whenever hell house is circling you from the roof and firing chairs at you is a really easy way to stay alive with the dumb chairs. That’s it though, thanks so much for your awesome guides! Thanks to you Tifa went from being the character I dreaded playing and couldn’t figure out, to my main. Thank you also for this guide!!

[@tdip09]

Fantastic Hell House guide! This fight gave me so much trouble on hard mode, but after watching this guide, piece of cake!

[@BltzZ]

Happy to hear you crushed it man! We just finished up our hard mode streams

[@kylelim6829]

Good work, man. Here's a couple more tips. Aerith's Lustrous Shield blocks all projectiles, including the chairs from Hell House. Set one up, have Aerith use it as cover, and she can plink away at the Hell House while taking no damage whatsoever (well, at least until it decides to jump down from its perch). I've also noticed that many players get blindsided by the Tonberries. Fortunately they have much lower HP than the real deal, so a Triple Slash or two from Cloud is always enough to put paid to them.

[@cool_chemist7644]

Good tip about the Tonberries, but Aerith's tempest attack will also decimate them all at once if you can time it properly when they first spawn in the same area (be sure to charge it up all the way by holding triangle). As a bonus, this doesn't require any ATB and you can kill them individually (more risky) with it, too, if you don't time it properly.

[@charlesmoore3390]

Targeting the middle tonberry with Cloud's "Hold Square" aoe will wreck them pretty easily too. They don't have a lot of HP. Just being aware of this new mechanic make it pretty easy to mitigate.

[@thatrandomwhitekid845]

If your running hp absorb and deadly dodge on cloud it’s also a good way to get a decent sized heal since he spits out like three of them right next to each other

[@aliceallgrown]

Thank you omg for this guide... I do not have all maxed materia, don't have leviathon or bahamut but still managed to beat Hell House on Hard mode with this guide. You are a lifesaver!

[@michaelmiguelicutti2829]

I will be referring to this guide during my hard mode play through once I get to it. I struggled with this boss on normal and ended up steamrolling him in under 5 minutes once I watched your guide!

[@BltzZ]

Omg dude that's amazing! Happy to hear this provided such a quick easy and fast turnaround!

[@AlissonReid]

after 2 days of trying to beat this boss fight , I finally did it. Lustrous shield and counterstance is very helpful.

[@BltzZ]

Congrats! I bet you crushed them too

[@95dubstepfan]

Had to restart this video around the 2-minute mark because I was jamming to the background music too hard lol. Amazing video as always, you do a PERFECT job of striking the balance between efficiency and thoroughness! I personally feel neither bored nor overwhelmed while watching!

[@BltzZ]

That's any content creators dream to hear that! Super thankful the content has been received extremely well! I'll always continue to upkeep and improve the quality always! I find myself jamming out too when recording and having to do retakes for audio haha

[@Peetah.]

Thx so much for the guide. It made the boss fight such a cake walk

[@KangSameda]

It's always either a tonberry the House dropped while it was turning that kills me, or the two mechs

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

2 years later...the trick I found is to triple slash them the second the last one hits the ground. They are still safe to his at that point and it almost completely kills them. Then just a few quick slashes and they are done.

[@TheShom218]

Dude your an absolute legend. This helped me so much, I finally beat him!!!! DUDE THANK YOU. I hope you see this since this video is old Ps going for the platinum

[@FatFingers02]

Good luck! I’m currently replaying it as I got rebirth on Thursday. Love the remake and Hard Mode is amazing. The Hell House is one of the most enjoyable fights tbh. Just beat him on my first try for this playthrough. Aerith’s planets protection is also extremely useful. Best of luck in the simulator as well. Top secret and Weiss are very challenging, but well worth it.

[@pomana]

I have watched so many other tutorials on how to beat the hell house in hard mode but I still couldn't beat it. I followed your recommendations and finally did it. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@BltzZ]

That's awesome to hear! Hopefully I'll see you around for more of the upcoming guides we have for you guys :)

[@HamzaThaheem]

It took me straight 5 hours trying to beat this boss and all because I was already low on MP, my cloud starts the battle with 20mp and Aerith with 80, Thank God was able to do it Thanks to your Material information, kept dying when he blasts to you in the last phase. Also if he does summon the Machines you can actually make him kill them, when he charges at you using electricity just run to them and he will one shot both the machines

[@BarcelonaBlitzer]

Thank you for that advice bro!!

[@ashewolves]

Thanks for making this guide! I finally decided to replay this game on hard mode and I died so many times here I lost count lol. Watched this and finally did it!

[@BltzZ]

Congrats! Happy to hear these come in clutch for you guys and you crushed it! Make sure to checkout the ghoul boss guide we have too :D that's coming up soon for you and will blow your mind how to beat him easily

[@vicrob7742]

thanks so much man, 1st try after watching your strat and its done. was having an hard time before finding your video.

[@BltzZ]

Happy to hear this method helps lots of people out!

[@kingsrac]

took me a lot of times, i got very frustrated and almost cried lmao i watched this video, followed the starter and got it on the first try. thank you so much.

[@juniorslostsoul8329]

After playing the game this year, I've discovered a love for Cloud's normal counter attack in punisher mode and his counterstance ability

[@McSaucey_YT]

I find the biggest challenge of this game come from understanding the encounters. I found this fight quite easy on hard because I knew what was going on and how to react. Eligor was harder for me as I didn’t prepare or remember as much and had to learn it. Knowledge is power :)

[@ForTehNguyen]

yea hard mode felt easier since i had max level chars, materia, and i actually knew the fights. Eligor sucked because he casts reflect on your party and if you try to cast cure on yourself it will heal the boss. Had to spam prayer and chakra

[@digbick6999]

hard mode is kinda tricky since almost every storyline bosses got extra annoying skill to mess your team up, it's not that hard tho once you learn how to counter their trick

[@BltzZ]

Knowledge is definitely the key

[@_MaximusM_]

Hahaha, Power is Power.

[@sudochitin7146]

I'm just coming back to the game to try and finish out all hard chapters and get all manuals. This was by far the best guide to this fight and made it really easy.

I was so ill prepared for this fight and it took about 2x longer than It should have, but I got it. Great video. Should have watched this first haha

[@borderlandsglitches]

I failed this a few times and got dishartened. I found this video and beat him first time dispite my matiria being lower levels and using earlier summons. I got Hellhouse down to a slither of health when he KO'd me and spawned 2 Cutters. I though I was done but my previously summoned ifrit went mental and BBQ'd the lot of them. It was glorious..

[@alphazygma]

Just wanted to thank you, your strategy helped me pass this boss, took me a couple retries but definitely much easier with your help. Thanks again!!!

[@BltzZ]

You got it dude happy to help out with it! This boss fight quickly became one of my favorites easily

[@Forrest_C]

This was my favorite fight in the game. Not only was it hard, but having Cloud and Aerith winning and high fiving each other made the fight feel special.. It's like after the fight they shared connection and bond.. :)

[@BltzZ]

It was possibly my favorite as well!

Oh snap, good timing, i just started another replay of chap. 9 hard. Also, lol rekt

[@BltzZ]

Oof aerith idk why she just kept standing so close! Haha her ai makes me question so much. Why does it walk towards the boss when she's long range and doesn't stay by the arcane ward haha

Elemental with lighting was a major help. Thanks for the guide!

Youre welcome dude! I'm working on uploading more boss guides tomorrow so stay tuned for that

This guide is the only legit guide. Been trying for hours with other guides did it first time with this!

[@DragoonIceX]

Wow.... I feel so dumb now lol. In normal mode I was trying to figure out how to tell which element to use on the house. And boom you come here saying look at the windows.

[@BltzZ]

Haha happens to everyone dude trust me! My let's play was horrible against him haha normal mode rekt me while hard mode was a breeze haha go figure 🙃

[@winghover4832]

You can press the touch pad to check its weakness as well.

no worries man u're not alone. My first time fighting him i didnt bother to read/figure properly its weakness and just spend like 30 minutes trying to survive lol like wtf why is this fight so hard. once i know how to beat him it become easier lol

[@Seeco_Nero]

Is it possible to beat the Hell House, when Aerith starts with 1 MP. xD

[@BltzZ]

It's possible but it will take a super long time! Just be really defensive and use lustrous shield to block the chairs or projectiles!

[@DaimonoZ]

I did this fight as double caster personally. I had cloud use mythril saber and nuked the hell out of him with arcane ward. He can stagger it himself and aerith with drain during stagger gets like 20 MP back. I also used silver staff instead on hard mode personally because the regen + trade off trait + reprieve is too op.

[@nTo-vlog]

@@DaimonoZ same here! I used silver staff, and twin stinger for Cloud.

[@B3AROTAN]

Coming back to platinum this because of Rebirth and man, this paired with your inf atb guide. *chef kiss* worked flawlessly, just did inf atb Aerith with some slight modifications and the same Cloud build.

[@Smaug1441]

Seriously? I just did this fight about an hour ago and made it much harder on myself. Would like to see a Hard Mode Bahamut (not the Chadley VR one, the one in the underground lab)

[@BltzZ]

Ahhh dang :(. Sure thing I can try it out maybe tomorrow night and see what I come up with

[@bjrabang3111]

It's behemoth, not bahamut.

[@BltzZ]

@@bjrabang3111 I figured that's what he meant because I didn't recall bahamut being in the underground area :) no worries

[@Smaug1441]

Yes, Behemoth. My bad. I'm slowly working through Hard Mode and I've heard he is one of the hardest hard mode bosses.

[@Richard-mo1nc]

The behemoth fight isn't that much different between normal and hard difficulty. It's pretty much a test of physical strength. If you've already assessed it, you'd probably figure it's not a good idea to use magic attacks until the horns are completely broken. How I tackled it was: first, break the upper body; then, break the lower body; and, finally, break the horns. Generally, you want to be aggressive and hold nothing back. Behemoth is one of my favourite boss fights. No magics (except for some debilitations and status debuff). Just a simple fight with only your sword, fists, and gun.

[@Tralissel]

kept throwing myself at this boss for at least 10 attempts now, then i watched this video and got it my second try. a year later and this is still incredibly helpful. thanks!

[@danhughesartist]

Another great tip for when the House spits out the Tonberrys. They are momentarily collapsed on the floor when they emerge- this gives you enough time as Aerith to do Sorceress Storm while standing on top of them, or Cloud’s Triple attack to wipe them out before they wake up.

This is actually not working at all for me. The house starts with a chair salvo instead of tonberries so the bioga timing is off and I just get hit by one of their instant death attacks from off screen and I can't even tell what it is.

So I got this one on my first try and this is what I did: Materia on cloud was two hp up and two mp up, poison, lighting, revival, healing, wind, and prayer. I have hardedge, champion belt, and chain bangle. Now for aeriths materia lightening, ice, magnify with healing, two hp up, fire, revival, and magic up. I have mythril rod, rune armlet, and mako crystal. I did what the video says and started with cloud in punisher. this did a lot of damage quick. Triple slash when the tonberries show up. I used prayer as a healer to limit mp usage but healed when my health was really bad. I coordinated the correct magic to use depending on the color of the house, it says in the video which. I used aeriths shield whenever the chairs came down. And bahamut as a summon. It was actually really easy and I hope this helps anyone who’s reading this!

Dam! Great guide fella. Keep them coming. I took a break the sweeper boss in the train tracks rekt me on hard mode. Doesn't hold much hope for my hard play through.

[@BltzZ]

Just take a break from now and return back whenever! That always clears the mind and helps me come back wrecking house!

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

Well then! This was interesting! I just defeated Hell House yesterday after dying about 50 times over 6 months, lol! Many of my materia are not at max, except the ones I use the most (I have one max of all the elements, healing, and a few others. I went to chapter select to get my Poison materia up, but not maxed...and ended up not even using it that much in the battle I finally beat the House with!) I had screwed up in the arena fights leading up to the House so that when that battle came, I had like 24 MP with Aerith and only 11 MP with Cloud. I didn't even bother with attaching elemental materia except thunder for the final form. I played the slow and steady game but your way is certainly better. I honestly never use Counterstance! Oh my god, that's a life changer and I'll be implementing it more! Instead, Aerith was my MVP. I used Soul Drain and kept stealing MP from the boss, letting Cloud do whatever he wanted for most of the fight, except for the tonberries (and by taking so long in attacking the House, Cloud was able to build up more MP as well). If you don't move around a lot, the House spits the tonberries out on top of each other, so I could use Braver to just one-shot the pile of them, usually. Still had to do many resets when they stabbed a character, though the Subverse materia attached with the Dispel materia, which sometimes can negate Instant Death, was very useful for me. Also for my run, the Revival Earrings were crucial. I play defensively in video games, I'm learning. I hate being without heals and I hate depending on another character to heal me, I want to be in full control of all of that, including revival. I sometimes lost one of the earrings in the 2nd form of the House, but the third form is where things got so chaotic, I didn't know what to do. The sweepers and cutters are very hellish to handle, on top of that massive AOE drop from the sky by the House. On the round that I beat the boss, Cloud was down and I had just enough MP to either revive him, do thundaga to either a sweeper or a cutter, or go for broke and attack the boss. I chose the House and it paid off. Talk about nerves on edge, lol! I'd been trying multiple rounds to disable the arms first and could only ever disable just one, before the third form happened, leaving the main body with more health than I could handle before the machines entered the ring. I decided to not use Bioga until I got enough MP from Aerith's Soul Drain and Cloud had also gotten more MP, then began assaulting the core of the House, even staggered it once in the 2nd form, and got in some good damage in the final form. I could've cried yesterday when that thundaga actually killed it! I see I'm going to need to grid and level up more MP and HP Up's and I didn't even consider using the Luck materia! I don't have Behamut and Leviathan, either, but Ifrit was pretty good. I actually kept not using him in the ndd form, just because I hoped to get the summon in round 3. That happened maybe twice in the 50 times I fought that thing, lol! I already rushed through to Abzu in the sewers, but I'm probably going to go level up stuff for the upcoming ghost battles, which were also a challenge. Thank you for the video and showing what I could certainly be doing better!

[@RosstheBoss6666]

Thanks for this guide. Swapped a few material for more HP but followed this strategy and beat it second try.

[@kennethphillipsii]

I played nonstop the week of release and went trophy hunting for the veteran hard trophy. I stopped playing at this boss because of the insane difficulty. I used magic earlier and had 15 left for aerith. I picked it back up a few days ago and it wasn’t until I watched this strategy with poison and counteratance that I was finally able to beat it. Thanks dude.

[@BltzZ]

Congrats on clapping it up dude!

[@Aizen11Sosuke]

Great video. This saved the game for me man as the Hell House was giving me ALOT of trouble. Keep up the great work my man.

[@BltzZ]

Yo happy to help out always my friend!

[@ericjaimes4504]

This guide helped me a lot, damn Hellhouse was frustrating me like crazy. Poisoning the damn thing and using counter stance helped a lot. I was also confused as to what element attacks to use on white and blue windows cause of other videos. Anyway, good work

[@BltzZ]

Counterstance is one of the most OP abilities in this game! Happy to hear you got through this! Be sure to check out my instant limit break build to blow your mind even further

[@rudnotrude7457]

On platinum trophy grind right now and thanks so much for the guide man! Very helpful.

[@victorhart5198]

Excellent guide thank you for getting me past this fight.

[@schools6555]

I enjoyed this battle on Hard! I'm actually finding that a second playthrough on Hard with leveled up weapons and Materia is fun. It makes most of the battles a nice challenge.
