A quick run through the Hard Mode boss rush in the Chapter 17 Shinra Battle Simulator with an in-game clear time of 1:56. Took a fair bit of trial and error to get the time under 2 minutes, but I'm sure there's still more time that can be saved. The equipment and materia used are shown at the end.

homer landon lmfao bro, who are you telling

[@DrzazgaM]

Me too

[@fahadalajmi8641]

How u get your ATP very fast ?

[@homerlandon8767]

Fahad Alajmi it looks like he’s using First Strike on Cloud and Aerith to start with ATB. This will help enable a quick stagger on the enemy. Then ATB stagger is likely equipped on everyone, so each member will have a boost from this initial stagger. Afterwards, ATB assist and Skill Master is likely on Tifa to generate her own ATB and the ATB of the team.

[@sonnycouchy6418]

yes me too ....

[@KirosanaPerkele]

Had to watch it at 50 % speed just to see what you were doing. Impressive!

[@BigN00b]

Awesomely executed! The strategy behind this is fascinating; my favorite part was when you stun locked Bahamut so that Tifa could safely use her Limit Break. I also loved the use of ATB Boost when using Aerith's Arcane Ward to not waste any time. Awesome run, dude. I'm subscribing.

[@ShinyShinryu]

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words and support. Bahamut was definitely the most tricky part for me since I needed to keep him still long enough use both Haste and Starshower before the Limit Break. I think there's still room to improve this method though.

[@BigN00b]

@@ShinyShinryu As far as I know, this is the lowest in-game time I've ever come across. But we learn new things every day, so the thought of anything below your time is mind-blowing. I'm pretty sure you can do it!

[@CoachAH-BAY]

Shinryu how do you think you could improve on this flawless run?

[@agata_cz]

UrDownWithDaSyndrome UrDownWithDaSyndrome he has the best accessory called Gotterdamerung, you get it after beating top secrets challenge the first time, equip on Tifa or any other character, and you get the limit break at the start, also charges the limit very fast for more limit breaks

[@gogauze]

@@CoachAH-BAY I don't know if he has time to answer. But there is a ridiculous method of killing Bahamut using just cloud. Pop his limit out the gate to close the distance, use self destruct off of the Enemy Skill materia with Warding+Subversion so that it takes hp damage to kill you instead of using instant death, which also staggers the boss, charges your limit again, which you pop off as soon as someone raises you, and then hack the last tiny bit of life off. I'm sure that using Tifa to run up the damage % while Cloud is getting raised by Aerith would be enough to finish with the limit. And considering how adept he was in the video, I'm sure he could adapt the strat in his own style, and possibly use it to rock the few bosses that took a little more time.

[@cl20v87]

Impressed by the Leviathan one! That’s the boss that always takes me the longest

[@Berserk0653]

It's funny... when I fought him the first time and beat the challenge, he was super quick and easy for me... When I went through again with the prize/limitbreak, I got my ass kicked.

[@dutchlinde9976]

I barely defeated Bahamut when i fight it for the first time. Whole party got wiped up and left Barret alone with 1 HP and limit break. Lol

[@silencedlamb6483]

@@dutchlinde9976 same, but I had no limit break and no atb. Ifrit actually saved my ass by healing be while I was able to shave of the last sliver and kill bahamut. Then I was able to fully heal and gain back nearly all of my mp since I was basically invincible to ifrit. Tho it did make the shiva fight harder being fireproof made this and pride and joy way easier(not like pride and joy was hard, especially after fighting bahamut lol)

[@lucasperuzzo7459]

To me it was sheva, i've beated her ass only with cloud and it was easy, but on top secrets she was a pain the ass

It would help if he they opened their damn mouth and said what their setup was. I hate when people just show what they did without telling us what the hell their setup was. Without explanation this video is damn pointless.

[@AMaidenlessRunt]

@@anthonymartin407 he has other videos with his set up and a proper way of discussing how to do this. I gave up on this. To me it seems impossible to make it past leviathan. I don't have time to get good at it anymore so no Gotterdammerung for me. I tried even looking for someone to help me beat it via share play and nothing. All I get is git gud or you trash comments. This is why I hate the Jrpg and RPG community nin general these nerds take their games way too seriously to the point where they feel superior than others.

[@ShinyShinryu]

The setup is shown at the end of the video

[@AMaidenlessRunt]

@MechaGodzilla lol i gave up long time ago sony had given me HZD for free played that and never looked back cause i started playing other games. Plus i own the ps4 version of this game. Considering what was changed and added in this new version on ps5 i dont even think i want to even be bothered with it anymore. Since now i feel the game is incomplete.. No yuffie etc. I have no reason to play at all

[@user-up7on4ve6g]

5:46 that leg twitching though, it's not just the summon that are confused about what's going on, even Cloud himself was wondering wth just happened

holy shit it took me 28 minutes to beat this challenge and here you are making a joke out of all of us props to you though, very well executed

[@ShinyShinryu]

Thanks for the kind words. I don't think it's making a joke out of anyone though since this method (and faster ones) need the accessory you get from beating it, so of course a first clear won't be able to match it. That said, I am working on a guide showing how to get a quick first clear too, so hopefully that will help folks.

He can do it that fast in part because he has already beat it before. You know this because he is using the accessory you get from beating the game on Tifa.

[@kiirosoleil]

can you do a guide on how to beat these guys without the Götterdämmerung accessory? I'm having a hard time with them. you're amazing!

[@orientexpress1509]

Kulea Wow I imagine a vid without Gotterdammerung would be very long. I competed with game time 25min, but in real time it was close to an hour. Many strategies I’ve seen recommend using Barret instead of Tifa due to his survivability and being a long range dmg dealer helps tremendously in leviathan and bahamut fights. In my opinion Bahamut is the hardest, so prepare for that such as using elemental-fire Materia on your armour to get heals from ifrit summon. Stay alive and heal often, preferably with prayer to conserve Mp. After reading up on guides, I did it on my first attempt, but as mentioned before it took ages; so good luck!

[@darricktuck3382]

I find lifesaver barret with steadfast block, hp up, chakra and prayer really really strong for keeping your team alive because he can build up atb from a safe distance fairly reliably and get more off of blocking. Along with this, for a general build i have him with magnify barrier materia to make sure folks dont die from big attacks. Other than barret, id definitely choose cloud with refocus and abuse his counter ability along with aerith personally

@@ShinyShinryu do you have any recommendation on first timers

[@ShinyShinryu]

@@smithburgos5471 I would say just play defensively, like HP Up materia on everyone, level 2 or max Elemental + Fire on your armor so Ifrit is a non-issue. That said, for Bahamut in particular, you want to use -aga spells to interrupt him and try to just do as much damage as you can to pressure him. If you focus on building his stagger, you should be able to stagger him well before Megaflare is even cast, and if you're using the Elemental materia to be immune/healed by Ifrit, you can just ignore him until you beat Bahamut.
