Final Fantasy XII HD Remaster: Cuchulainn Boss Fight (1080p)

[@rdu239]

Cuchulainn's story is always intriguing, the gods made him in an attempt to cleanse the world of its corruption and impurities, unfortunately the world's filth is too much, even for a mythical being. Ironically Cuchulainn turned impure and corrupted itself!

[@Shnzmnky41]

I wonder why there are no depictions of him before he attempted to cleanse the world in any of the FF series. I sort of take it personally because his zodiac symbol is Scorpio, which I am. It's sort of tragic/poetic irony, I can see why he hates the Gods after he turned out the way he did.

[@Leah63f]

There's actually a similar story to him in Islamic belief. The black stone which is attached to the Holy Kabba was once apart of a larger stone which came from paradise. At first it was as white as milk then the children of Adam (as) turned it black because of their their sins.

[@accelerator8558]

This now Made me sad

[@thesupershinymegagengar2034]

That's actually pretty sad.

[@refinsa]

@@Leah63f it called Hajar Aswad

[@jakedge3]

if you guys think cu is bad, remember that zalera once had his own full-on villain taking over the world arc and got shot down AFTER managing to terrorize the world and claim countless souls. Every esper is like their own extinction level event

Cuchulainn: "GET OUTTA ME SWAMP!"

[@ivanibarra1382]

Still the cutest esper ever....and according to his bio he was just a happy go lucky (and beautiful) guy who became ugly and poisonous because the gods didn't realize how dirty the world was.

[@taroupriapus9760]

Yes he's my baby. Can I buy him as a pet?

[@ayusoraua570]

he remind me alot with Baymax

[@ibang85]

set in Ivalice, Cuchulainn is a nightmare, both on FF XII and FF Tactics

[@moondoor9031]

Cuchulain completely destroyed my dignity in Final Fantasy XII, not to even mention Ultima and Zodiark.

[@Jason-hk6fx]

after Zodiark Ultima is easy in comparision, the mecha spider near Ultima and the dragon that took half a day to die are the real nightmare.

[@nekotorin]

Jason Moretti Yiazmat and Omega Mark XII

[@yaboi2500]

TouchyBanana Yiazmat’s fight lasts longer and his attacks have a chance to OHKO your characters. Pretty sure that puts his damage output higher than Shinryu. Shinryu’s still a pain in the ass, though.

[@tortoiseknight8438]

Zodiark? We don't talk about that

[@JameyMcQueen]

@@tortoiseknight8438 Zodiark is easy when you 99+ quickening combo. :)

[@rialyandriamiseza9814]

Everyone : "My astrological sign has a badass eon, look at that wonderful design" Scorpion people : "yeah whatever"

[@scribble71891]

The most annoying battle in FF12 IMO. And on a second note, I just realized he has a weapon impaled through his head. Ouch.

[@PewPew_McPewster]

Poor Cuchulainn, the Gods made him pure at first so he could suck up all the evil in the world. But they fucked up the calculations and there was more evil than they accounted for. So he got corrupted through pure negligence.

[@taroupriapus9760]

Don't worry, we tamed him now as our family pet

[@Omega-jg4oq]

No wonder why he is specifically in the Swears out of all things

[@tortoiseknight8438]

I was NOT prepared for this fight back in the day

[@boyceps]

A few things that would help. Regen, esunaga, hastega, bubble and equipping the characters with the relic that makes you immune to immobilize. That should make the battle go more smoothly. I also had my characters using the golden ax (damage was variable but generally did overall more damage) or have Balthier or Basch with the zodiac spear.

[@cameraredeye3115]

Immobilize is not the problem. Disable is probably your biggest threat in this fight, along with Invert. If you can deal with those, Esunaga and Curaja will take care of the rest of the statuses (aside from Slow).

[@boyceps]

@@cameraredeye3115: True but using all of those, regen, hastaga (haste 2), etc. and the lead character with a ranged weapon (out of disabe GA range), you can still attack and sling spells/items as needed.

[@noyoucantnoicantnowecantsostop]

By that point you're already overleveled lol, i beat him right after midway through the game so easily, minus the debuffs that prolonged the battle

[@boyceps]

@@cameraredeye3115: I don't remember if disable or immobilize was the bigger problem. Whichever one was the bigger threat, relic that.

[@machdude3366]

@@cameraredeye3115 Invert is beneficial as it fully restocked your mp if you keep yourself reasonably topped up.

[@jimmymackinnon8474]

This fight can be very hard if you don’t have the proper accessories to prevent immobilize and disable, and at least two strong healers with Curaja.

[@thatoneeco]

Why I can't unsee its resemblance to OOGIE BOOGIE?!

[@kralik394]

One Eco I was thinking 8 from that movie 9. You know, the one with Elijah Wood?

[@angelgonzalez5766]

the weirdest scorpion ive ever seen

[@rdu239]

The supposed scorpion "stinger" is actually lodged on his head...and a bigger one inside his back

[@taroupriapus9760]

Cúchulainn is a dangerous boss on low levels/low HP. If you want to even come close to him make sure you learned curaja, esunaga, and haste. Make sure to equip characters with anti disable accessory, better a ribbon. Set gambit for each character 1. Ally, any HP

[@machdude3366]

Cura is enough. Realistically, you need a way to burst down the initial enemies in order to isolate him alone. He's chunky, but if you set your gambits right and have the right licenses up, he's manageable even at lower levels. Phoenix Netsuke is a lifesaver here. If push comes to shove, drop a quickening on him.

[@heresacaterpillarifoundinm8679]

[@lesterramos6468]

[@CaptainChubbyDuck]

My tactic to deal with the HP drain field was actually to have my white mage cure all the time. Yeah really. She never did anything else haha. It was super safe but worked

[@dangerousshoes]

I had more problems with this guy than Zodiark.

[@LocalChoker]

one day pearl will be respected I could definitely see that. Zodiark is all about surviving darkja. This guy just constantly pelts you with shit the whole fight 😩

[@Jason-hk6fx]

At least this was near the save spot...

[@boyceps]

All these playthroughs and I have *never* seen anyone using regen. As soon as I got it, I had it on continuously.

[@BhudhaLovesBudlight]

Never needed to because the regen is so minimal unless my characters were hit with Sap. And especially during end game where HP is at 14,000+

[@phoenixchampion7]

Bro, Regeneration is Regeneration. Healing is Healing, I dunno who says it but I never turn down the option to have Regen active. It's a simple concept why can't more people make use of it? Especially in this game where you don't have to reapply after every fight- So what if it's a small amount? A little can go a long way.

[@boyceps]

@@phoenixchampion7: And it's continuous. I have saved a LOT of MP using regen instead of healing every 3 or 4 actions. Out of battle, regen is still active.

[@ayusoraua570]

aoe healing much better than regen in late game. you dont want your character spamming regen in mid battle which is trash

[@HayabusaPaul]

So your party's HP constantly being drained. Quite the challenge

[@petertilton7004]

Need info: Levels, classes, everything.

[@syciuplyte8494]

i played out this whole game and i dont remember having reddas EVER in my party. I have no idea who reddas even is!

He has Darkeater Midir complex... currupted by the very thing he was created to consume.

[@anishreddy1095]

True but you can't summon midir afterwards sadly

Midir was a pain in the ass.

[@dmytrosoboliev935]

Wait, why there are 4 characters in this battle ? As i remember you can have only 3 at once.

[@MissFortune413]

Соболев Дмитрий you get "guests" through out the game. Its ideal to keep then around for hard fights. As long as you don't progress the story line to the point that they leave lol

man if only there was a accessory that made you immune to disable, huh?

[@l_ifeefi_l1998]

Never use him at all after defeating him lol. Imo only zodiark and zeromus r useful amongst the espers

[@machdude3366]

Cu Chulain is like Exodus. You need a meat tank to hold the gate? Want an actual offensive presence? Use Shemhazai who ignores most damage type immunities and can do Zodiark levels of damage. The espers also matter WHEN you use them. Early on, Belias pulls his weight. Mid game, if you gain access to Addramelech (easy to do with quickening spamming) he trivializes the Garamscythe waterways. Remember also that Ribbon is ridiculous to get in this game. An Esper ignores status ailments. They straight up trivialize bosses like Carrot and Deathgaze.
