Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - EASY WAY to defeat LEGENDARY BOUT: TIFA vs THE MARTIALISTS

[@justadarnminute474]

On my way to platinum because of these guides. Every time I clear one I get more and more appreciative lol

[@fairygoku3734]

Just stopping in to sya just got the platinum and I want to encourage everyone to keep trying I failed on the last legendary challenges for 3 days but stay strong and carry on!

[@lotheravanti4295]

How was the piano? That scares me the most. I've done almost everything else except Hard mode replay and the last 5 Legendary bouts. Rules of the Outer Worlds I spent a week on until I did it.

[@Optinooby]

The pianos wont that bad for me, did some of them first try, but i know some others have got stuck on them

[@fairygoku3734]

Honestly if the piano required a star rank I think I might have had to bail on it but the a rank took a few hours the zack bout is the hardest but keep the faith you can do it!!

Lol i wasted 8 minutes building up Yuffie thinking it was Tifa 🤦‍♂️

[@Optinooby]

if you put the beach gear on, easy to tell them apart then

[@domikarus5237]

The missile attack from the dragon hit me when he was already stopped and I died to this but I had it after the third try. Can't thank you enough for this guides. I linked "Time" with "Magic Focus" to get more pressure time and I casted "Stop" again after they where staggered to make this even more noob friendly for me

[@diegosalazar793]

What? Does that really work? I already got the platinum but I'll do that strategy when I play it some time later

I also only recently learned you can stop a staggered enemy and build the damage multiplier to wallop them. It's satisfying.

I had a little trouble with the goblin but I used 8 slot armor and removed chakra in place of healing+swiftcast and breezed through it. Thanks so much for this guide!

Helped massively, cheers lol

[@kingkazma3246]

Yeah, that helped me too! Chakra takes way too long and some enemies are way too fast! 🥊

[@BetaNights]

Making the final push to Platinum with these guides, and I can't thank you enough! I can't overstate how much the Rage and Fall ATB generation tech with Tifa has streamlined my fighting with her SO much! It made my push through Hard Mode way smoother than it would have been without! Thank you!

[@smythlife3373]

Refuse to do the others until videos are released. 😂 Thank you. The employee at square that signed these challenges off to make the final cut of the game obviously has something against the company. I like a challenge, but nobody likes this at all.

Nah the true bad guys from Square were the ones who designed some of the minigames

[@homerman76]

You, my friend, deserve all the subscribers in the world. I started the legendary challenges today and I started with Tifa. Your guide got me through it in one (!) attempt. I'll use the remaining ones now for sure. Keep it up with the awesome work

[@infidel1993]

Jabberwook never actually used gorgon shield when I cleared this. Ended up staggering it normally, had to cast stop because it was still close to full health.

[@ZachKateAda]

I’ve been doing these without the Gotterdammerung since I don’t have it, I just put on enhanced expeditionary medal instead. I beat Clouds and Barrets thanks to your guide and this one.

[@zecaff]

The last two ones with sephiroth and zack are such a pain, both take almost an hour to complete and if you die you start all over, just last time i literally died to odin (the last fight) when he was at 1% hp, so frustrating. I'm hoping that you will come up with an easy guide to make these two challenges faster and safer. These fights are way too overtuned, they could have given us at least a checkpoint on these 10 rounds fights, they just take way too long.

[@Glaurungally]

I've seen an easy guide for the fight with sephiroth. You have to spam circle and triangle with him which have him evade and deal good damage and replensih very fast his limit break gauge. It takes around 25 min for complete and seems very easy to me.for the zack one I ddidn't find anything for now

[@Optinooby]

Yea its longer with Sephi though doing only that, im hoping to get it done in 10 minutes like the Zack battle, i learnt a lot of strategies working on that to get rid of the rounds quicker

[@Glaurungally]

@@Optinooby Waiting for your guides. Right know I'm doing the legendary solo ones. Hope to finish all of them by tomorrow thanks to your advice

[@Optinooby]

@@Glaurungally Just did Sephi duo fight in 12 minutes 53 secs ;)

[@Glaurungally]

@@Optinooby That's a fast one. I Thought about equipping cloud with accessory to unlock level 3 limit and limit siphon, as sephi replenish it very fast and I think a level 3 limit deals more damage than sephi's limit. Waiting to see what you did on it

[@gamerforever2007]

thx for the build good as always quick tip on the jabberwock fight if you want to avoid his seismic wave dash around behind him he does the attack in a cone in front of him

[@strikerbandit8919]

Since you already have enemy skill equiped both sonic boom to get bravery and plasma discharge for the free damage is really good in this challenge.

[@Exizil]

And since you have a free materia slot in the build, link Enemy Skill with HP Absorb so Plasma Discharge heals every time it goes off.

[@mangomariel]

Thanks for the guide! I did not have gotterdammung, so I switched it with safety bit which gives me immune to petri. Then I also got two additional materia slots. I used plasma discharge and rancid breath on every fight, to get some lucky silence/bio/slow/stop Also sonic boom for the buffs. I have done every one except cait sith. I found Tifa the hardest.

[@ChanceMallory]

Just wanna say thanks for the build. I tweaked a couple things that worked well for my gameplay style. I wouldnt of had any clue without the basis you set up. It saved my life literally in game. Saved me who knows how many more hours of grief, frustration and anger. I was soooo stuck lol thank you soooooo much. Props buddy!

[@Ir1shman]

I subscribed to you long ago Optinoob. You have helped me through all the brutal challenges and three legendary bouts so far. This guide is no different, beat it on my second try after rewatching the strategy for that little kid bastard. 4 more to go, and then I can finish the game on hard and get my platinum. YOU ARE THE MAN!!! The only thing I changed was using stop during the jabberwock's stagger to finish him off in time.

[@tobiewolfen01]

Bah, my warding materia wasn't at 100% - had to swap it out for Cleansing to cast Resist. Always setup Plasma Discharge for the extra damage. It was a close call with that damn Jabberwock.

[@mymyx2000]

Got it on first attempt with your build and strategy. Compare to previous legendary (cloud and barret), this one's actually fun! Thanks you very much of this strat! 😃

[@ChiragQuest]

Thanks so much for these fantastic and manageable guides to help obtain the Platinum trophy! Keep up the good work. Will definitely keep an eye out on your channel for part 3 😀.

[@andywang1160]

You guide is just phenomenal. Thank you so much for taking your time to make these amazing guides. I am a 42 year old man and still enjoys gaming. Your guide showed me how fun the game could be.

Same here. 42 and probably keep playing at 84.

[@Johnnybox81]

Trying this one later. Mixing up legendary VR and manuscript quests...i wish they let us save load outs...😅

[@moonscar119]

For the final battle, I used plasma discharge because i had it linked with hp absorb. I kept dodging the dragon because he is so slow and tifa is so damn quick. When he fired the yellow lights, i could get in lots of hits on him. Every time he charged to the wall, i would get some in. Took about 5 min with almost no damage done to him, but it staggered him that way. Cast stop on him and nailed him with true strike every atb charge. This also blasted him with plasma. Before stop wore off, he was about 1/4 health, and my limit break finished him off. This trick with the stop also allowed me to get the 300% damage trophy. Thank you for the setup optinoob. Just have to do red xiii and the 2 final ones after that to have my combat simulator finished

[@TheBorzoi]

For that empty materia slot, you can put in Auto-Weapon Ability for the 2% Strength boost. Because you're (obviously) controlling Tifa, it won't activate any abilities automatically. You're just using it for the small stat boost.

[@YoannVn]

Adding a magic focus on time helped even more ! Thanks for the guide 😊

[@mysticwodka8741]

Followed the Guide. When Jabberwock starts using Raze and Seasonic Wave u can avoid this when u lure him in the end of the Area. Keep in mind, Dodging, Endurance and Concentration is the Key. As a Backup Poenix Materia and for the empty Slot Auto-Weapon Ability Materia for a bit more Strengh and Attack Power.

Thanks Opti, I managed to complete all challenges with your guides so far. Best guides out there. Now only Bounds of Friendship and To Be a Hero are left for me... I'm stuck on these 2. Man, I thought Rulers of the Outer Worlds was hard, but compared to the last 2 legendaries it seems so easy now. I will lay down the game for a while and wait for your guides.

[@Girdiwneb]

Nevermind, got the platinum today:) Bonds of Friendship is definitely the hardest out there. Good luck to everyone and don't give up! You'll make it with practice.

[@Ultra_Kuma]

I thought Rulers of the Outer Worlds is the hardest one as PowePyx says so in its guide ;_;

[@ashiwaa]

I was struggling with getting petrified in rounds 4 & 5 but I put a cleansing Materia in the spare slot to cast resist to prevent it from happening! hope this helps some people who are struggling like I was

[@leocreuu3254]

First try these keep getting better and better! I’m curious what’s your favorite build to run around now that you created all of these do you have a favorite out of them?

[@Optinooby]

Honestly ive always liked using Tofa due to her speed and how fast she generates ATB, and her stagger damage increase of course. Though i think most of these builds are quite fun and i look forward to using them in hard mode when we get there. How about you mate, which have you had the most fun with?

[@HandsomeKing808]

5 more of these to go then I have them all done and hard mode is waiting. Not far from a 100% playthough not just the platinum and these guides have helped. I did almost everything blind but needed help on that damn summon one then decided to do these thru you since they were done so well just to get them over with. Great job. I just want my last star on One Winged Angel for the piano.

[@Broadmoore]

Freaking incredible guide. I have 200 hours so far and didn’t know about how to utilize Tifas punch as well as you showcased

[@EvelynRose86]

This was the easiest of the legendary battles, for me. And I struggle with timing A LOT. But Tifa. Is. A. Beast. Load her up with strength enhancing materia, and she FLIES through. I kept the full throttle wrist guards on her for added strength (her attack was something like 530?) And just kept with the Unfettered Fury and True Strikes, with a Chi Trap here and there. Took me 3 tries.

[@damcrac]

You are giving me the confidence that I'll be able to beat these things when I finally get to the point of being able to try them, lol. Just gotta hope the mini-games don't trip me up.

[@Final-Ts]

At first I struggled with Kid G's "pressure" dynamics but found out the key is dodging away when he has a listed text attack with a red underline and then come back with the attack button almost immediately after. Also I learned a lot about Tifa's overall potential by the Rage and Fall 'release before the uppercut' timing. It was wonky at first for me, but now I have it down pretty good. Tifa's such a strong character in battle... one of my favorites. Thanks for the guide, Optinoob! You rock sir! 👍

[@leewalk35]

Thabkkssss man after your comment I really made it bc like you said he get prreasure of you dodge after the red name of attacks in his head

[@yakulting]

Got this one after about 5 tries. Hardest round is round 3 with Kid G. Had to get used to blocking his moves at the right time and also right time to hit him back and build stagger bar that way. Once he is staggered, then go to town! Thanks again for this awesome guide! Now on to Aerith's Legendary Bout videos and go from there. I'm hearing that the Bonds of Friendship Legendary Bout is the 2nd toughest of all the VR Combat Challenges. Hope I can get that one done too soon with the help from your videos.

[@Craane15]

Another excellent video! I wanted to share a little from my experience. Overall: I leveraged Plasma Discharge and Sonic Boom. Dark Claw: I did a lot of: basic attack combo, then dodge twice to the right. This helped avoid a lot of the basic claw attacks. The reaper attack is easy to side dodge. Kid G: Really hated this guy until now. The key for me was his main two attacks and the indicators. If he’s not pressured, kite him around. He’ll likely do one of two things. 1 - he keeps chasing you. This means two blockable punches and then goblin beat down. Dodge backwards away from beat down, I found side dodging more difficult than just dodging back away. 2 - he will momentarily chase you but then hop back for Sledgehammer. Dodge away from sledgehammer in any direction, wait a brief moment when he lands for the AoE to clear. Then basic attack for pressure.

[@YunaPL]

Thanks for the guide, just did it :D I have a word of advice if someone is struggling with Kid G. When he is pressured use as many chi traps on him as you can. It was a game chnger for me.

[@jamesz28]

Got it first try using your guide. Thank you!

[@markfigg9499]

These guides are brilliant mate, keep finding myself on your channel for hard trophy stuff like this. Will add a like to all vids that help

[@sirloinestakegames7866]

Died to Kid G a few times until I realised what I did wrong - I didn't block then evade! As soon as I started moving away I won first try. A weird thing happened on Jabberwock - I staggered it before it did Gorgon Shield. It made the fight far more tricky 😂

[@2bNs]

First try, excellent strategy!

[@relaxwithriffs6682]

Another one you've helped me through thanks. I really struggled with Kid G for a bit. Then when i finally got past him the next enemy grabbed me and pummeled the life out of me 😢, got it done a few tries after though. Thanks!

[@AgriasOaks]

Managed to get the first 4 done and dusted last night. I think you'll have fun with Aerith's. Was interesting to see what we did similarly and differently for builds for this one with Tifa. I'm probably going to start the hard mode playthrough and then come back to the last 5 legendary challenges when you have the guides up for those.

[@VizierSaranAlkydmi]

This guide made me get good at fighting that damned goblin! At first I was getting wrecked, but by the end he barely lasted a minute!

[@Colinireland1992]

Arguably the one that requires the most finesse. Took me a few tried to decode kid G clean and accurate. The Jabberwok drug out cause I didn't block just kept dodging then working his stagger bar up. Maybe that's why he never used gorgon shield until after first stagger. Nonetheless I had to really drag the fight out reuse unfettered fury keep dodging built up a whole second limit and finished him on second stagger. Had to wait for that gorgon shield to wear off too. That fight alone probably lasted 5 minutes.

[@danilocanclini1437]

Wait you can also stop while Pressured?! I always learn something new from everyone of your videos! You should make a video about all of these little tricks , they are so use full! In a other video you mentioned auto unique ability materia on aerith which makes go automaticaly on her arcane ward before casting spell which is so HUGE because the enemy will not target her. Thanks again for the video guides!

I used stop while it was staggered so that I could get the True Strikes in and then I used the Limit break for the win.

[@whoolesummer8539]

Much thanks again thanks to you we will get rid of of this annoying challenges

[@Karanerys]

Got it easily using this guide, somehow i just slide all around whenever i use tifa, must be panic but it works really well on the last round, if you suck at blocking, just slide away and you can avoid almost everything. Also i used an ATB boost materia on the empty slots and that helped me w Chakra on tough times. Thanks for the guide!

[@SuperSpesh1]

On most of the enemies, especially the jaberwock, if you spam chi trap it builds up their pressure gauge very quickly (other than the 4th boss).

Man that was awesome I struggled with kid g then after I got him I paused and watched elder golem about 4/5 times before beating him then did jabberwock 0 damage after watching 3/4 times through!

[@narutouchiha1265]

Did it first try with your strat. Nearly died coz golem grabed me and had 1hp left and yabberwack was a mess. Took him ages to cast his shield and couldnt fknish him while staggered. So was a bit rough, but all in all it worked great!

[@teeq985]

Hey Optinoob. Thanks for another great guide, got it on the 3rd try. I am never as good as dishing out the damage so had to stagger on 5/5 twice! I feel round 4 and 5 are really easy if you just sitck n move especially with topping up with Chakra. Kid G is the real nemesis here.

[@SkotKozB5]

I put Magic Focus with the Time Materia. Haven't watched past the setup yet but I'm hoping that'll help a bit.

[@johnk600]

OMG KidG again noooooo! NGL I died at least 30x. I suck at blocking / dodging - but the silver lining is this forced me to finally address this weakness. I’m still not great but after this challenge I can parry 80-90 percent of Dark Claw attacks and by the end dodging / attacking is now comfortable. I beat KidG doing exactly what you outlined it just took time to get decent at dodge / pressuring but once you get it the tables turn so sweetly! I realize I’ll probably need it for those last 2 challenges so glad I’m not a total n00b at it lol. Will echo those who said to use Sonic Boom for adding Bravery / Faith and I also added Haste to get more turns when I could. I also subbed in Healing / Swiftcast instead of Chakra & HP absorption to Enemy Skills. Both were lifesavers. To show how crazy KidG was - only needed 1x to wipe the 4th/5th boss after finally beating KidG! The last fight it also helps to try and get behind him like with Cloud 3rd & 5th. Couldn’t have done it without your guides. On to Aerith tonight / tomorrow!

[@RocktoberPR]

This challenge was super fun, Tifa is poetry in motion and wish I found out about her Fury combo a lot sooner! As a Chakra hater I switched to HP Absoprtion + Plasma Discharge but I wonder if the discharges actually slow you down because I has not able to kill Jabberwock within the stagger despite using the same combos. Anywho onto the next one thanks for your assistance once again.

First try! Great stuff as always. Thanks so much

[@junnaka9326]

[@davidditchleyiii2252]

Great vid, for golem best to use unbridled strength imo though. Keeps attack stat high (unfettered switches to magical attack stat if I understand correctly) and parry on the last one the jabberwok or whatever and the stagger bar builds crazy fast. Staggered him before he could even use gorgon shield or get pressured lol and even hit him with stop while staggered to spam true strike and got the trophy for 300% stagger bonus. 2 birds with 1 stone on the road to play

[@Aztarun]

I hate this Jabberwock, but playing more defensive and some Stops while it was staggered did it for me in the second try.

Well i have a bit of difficulty with them all to begin, but once i develop all these strats, they all become fairly easy with me.
