FFVII Rebirth - Legendary Bout: Aerith vs The Magi (No Damage/No Götterdamërung)

[@chemicalist]

Elemental with Lightning makes this even easier, since Yin and Yang and Quetzalcoatl lose half of their movesets as you go to town.

[@2052brad]

No need to with the setup I used, and can’t fit the extra materia. But in general it’s gonna make it a lot easier to negate all that Lightning damage

[@timurkral3781]

Why should I go to town?

[@7upac]

Straight to the point with loadout in description. You are seriously the best I love you

[@GooseGumlizzard]

But I want the loadout

[@timurkral3781]

He's not gay 🤦

[@2052brad]

Build and playlist of my Legendary Bout runs can be found in the description. Thanks for watching!

[@Funtime-ez8ul]

man i cannot get the final round to go smoothly at all.can't get both wards down before he charges. most frustrating fight so far. i hate playing as aerith solo. but still thanks for the videos! they've helped me clear Cloud, Barret and Tifa's challenges so far!

[@2052brad]

Yep if he charges right away this wont work very well. If he uses fulmen it does, but you have to be very quick in the setup. I had another plan for when he starts with prey, but I can’t remember what it was now

[@Funtime-ez8ul]

@@2052brad dammit after i left this comment i had a really good run where i tried to ward shift to avoid him and it mostly worked, had him down to 15% hp but at the end i wasn't fast enough and he KO'd me. lol what luck i have

[@maul_360]

You make these videos so freaking well! Direct and to the point. Been hammering these out the last couple days thanks to your videos! Builds are sooo good

[@httrtaylor21]

Same here. Just have Aerith, Red, and Cait left!

[@ZeekeXIV]

Dude, the White Mousse battle was the hardest for me. I thought I was clever when I used Thundara on both of them while I had Elemental-Lightning on my armor. Then you come through with an even better strategy: "what if they were DEAD?" You make Aerith fight like how I assume lore-accurate Returned-to-the-Planet Aerith fights; straight-up Goddess. Amazing work, man.

[@chalupakingsama]

The way I handled it was I put one to sleep and I just focus on one

[@dsjim1]

so cool, so clean

[@왼손-b7n]

unbelievable…

[@pengygopewpew1304]

This strategy helped me all the way through! Only thing I changed was the elemental from ice to lightning and it worked perfectly :) thank you!

[@StsNeo]

Amazing!! Did changed a bit the materia loadout as I have not yet completed hard mode and missing some weapon scriptures, thanks, helped me a Lot!

[@Akunza]

Omfg that was beautiful! ❤

[@borkbunns]

can't wait for the solo yuffie no dmg run 😬

[@2052brad]

Gonna get Yuffie out soon!

[@alfredhigglestein2828]

I'd love to see how you handle some of the colosseum fights on hard mode, some of those have been kicking my ass

[@2052brad]

I remember using a lot of sleep when I did them the first time

[@alfredhigglestein2828]

@@2052brad I'll give it a go, thanks

[@borkbunns]

@@alfredhigglestein2828 if you want to cheese it even more you can use the infinite atb ward trick with yuffie and spam quaga on arcade ward; that's how I did it

[@Ravenouser]

Thanks to this video (and the build especially) I was able to pass this challenge in 2 tries. Really good, and easy.

[@life0093]

That was masterful

[@otakamerd1220]

I’m gonna miss having Aerith in my party in Part 3, she was absolutely insane

[@danemas7875]

i put hp absorb ice since im not AS good at dodge or blocking and smashed through this!!! thanks man LOVE the vids

[@lorestiralongo1618]

Getting yang figured out was chalanging. Never could kill him with 1 Fireaga, had to use 2, little detail with turning off magnify helped tho

[@timurkral3781]

You stupid

[@ForzaTerra89]

I wish I did it this way, playing solo with her really sucked tbh this would have been easier than the method I used

[@WesuAce06]

Am I mistaken or did the stagger meter also stop depleting when you cast Stop in the final battle?

[@kkim5000]

it always does. that's how you extend stagger long enough to build up big stagger bonuses and maximize damage.

[@WesuAce06]

@@kkim5000 WOW I learn something new about this game every day!!!!

[@zephyr9949]

Can anyone teach me Aerith’s Tempest ability? I never understood it even after reading up about that and the fleeting familiars, so naturally I never utilized it

[@gemini4489]

Yeah, I was pretty confused at first too. You just use the ability once to activate it, and then you can either use it again right away for level 1, or wait until the gauge that appears in Aerith’s status bar to fill up to use level 2

[@timurkral3781]

Wow I found a dobohobo

[@andykim6123]

About how long does it take you to do these runs? The most impeccable and mastery of combat of FFVII I’ve seen

[@2052brad]

Most of them took me a few hours of trial and error and theorycrafting to figure out how I wanted to approach all the fights

[@andykim6123]

@@2052brad hats off to your dedication and precision sir

[@mpuchar5003]

Your description says ice-elemental on timeless rod, but the last two materia slots on timeless rod aren’t linked?

[@2052brad]

Max weapon level

[@Sol_Regit_Omnia]

So to be clear, at max weapon level the 2 materia slots link???

[@2052brad]

@@Sol_Regit_Omniayes, all weapons have 3 links over 6 slots when maxed

[@youraverageyoutubeenjoyer4094]

​@2052brad but don't u need all of aeriths folios to get max level and this challenge gives u a folio for her?

[@2052brad]

Sure, but it’s not like a guide. it’s a challenge run.

[@raufyoutubechannel]

Hi. Nice job. How u run from projectile at 2:40? Its not normal circle dodge.

[@fearlesscheshirecat1411]

I know this is late, but it is a normal circle dodge. She just moves quicker once you’re in the Radiant Ward. It would be nice if she could dodge like this all of the time, but they designed the game where she moves much quicker in Radiant Ward.

[@raufyoutubechannel]

@@fearlesscheshirecat1411 yup i found this already:)

[@blackv0dka155]

how's your atb didn't decrease when you use stop in stage 2?

[@2052brad]

It did. From 2 to 1

[@markfamilari3842]

How did you dodge quezelcotls prey bro it gets me every time

[@2052brad]

I didn’t. I used magic while in a radiant ward so it dealt 0

[@bryantoo6057]

I answered this in another comment, but here's what I said for this issue: Time your dodges when he does Prey/charge. I did it after 3 runs and noticed as he pounces for Prey that's the trigger to dodge. It got a bit messy at the end as I actually ran out of mana but got it with Soul drain and recasting Blizzara. Good luck!

[@benmasb3138]

Bro what is that skill on last part of aerith @3:17

[@2052brad]

Was Transcendence II.

[@johny21t]

What’s your set up?

[@2052brad]

Setup in description

[@Faramir1104]

Wtf

[@AnnNovak-tc1in]

Maybe explain what you are doing instead of moving so fast that literally no one can keep up 🙄

[@2052brad]

I’m not making guides here. Just doing flashy combat stuff. With a single character no less. If you can’t keep up that’s not really my problem.

[@butt0nmasher]

its not that hard to see what he does, its a video, there's a pause button.
