Which was the hardest round? Round Four with the Suevite Disgorgon was insanely difficult to find a good strategy. When you fight these in a party it usually does Petrifying Mist early so you can break its jaw and stagger it. For some reason they coded this challenge to use it one minute+ into the fight. This means the only way to build a good amount of Stagger is by Perfectly Blocking its attacks. My reaction time is bad so I had to use Precision Defense Focus and I cover all the openings so don’t worry! Round Five is also crazy as the only way to Pressure it is with Synergy Abilities … This was by far the hardest Legendary Bout to optimize up to this point so your support is much appreciated!

It took me 5 days and 20 game play hours, but I finally finished this with your help. And now I will never play as Cait Sith again.

For those struggling with perfect parrying the disgorgon: be mindful not to touch the square button to attack - sending the moogle into his attack animation will make parrying very hard. Instead just wait for the attacks and parry. You'll get your ATB just from parrying, and damage from abilities. Realizing that it was the moogle's animation messing up my blocking trivialized this part of the fight completely. I'm still struggling with the Mindflayer though, but one step at a time. Thanks for a great strategy and video, @naztalgic_memories!

bro, the platinum is real, your tutorials are very good, most of the ones I did got it right away, congratulations on your content and your willingness to help the next ones, I dedicate the platinum to you who made it real

Caits challenge was so awkward, I just used the Moogle to draw the agro and tank everything, starting from round 3 😂

Right as I finished Yuffie's challenge I clicked refresh and this video appeared.

This is super good stuff. I’ve mastered all the characters other than Cait so this is fantastic for general tips too

This has to be the fastest guide online I've seen. Plus u have narration too and show the build. I'm trying this later on today. I generally don't play Cait so this LB is hard asl. 😂 Saving this to "watch later"

AND THANK YOU AGAIN... For this one i change HP absorb + ICE cause im really bad blocking / counter. And the mindflayer was really hard. my tactic was using ICE when the boss make his special attacks to cancel him. Thank you again!, now lets try the dous with cloud... uggghhh

Your guides were fantastic! Some invaluable tools😊 question: will you do a guide for the Legendary missions with Zack and Sephiroth?

Coming back to this to say: I HIGHLY recommend replacing Luck Up with Chakra (& not healing because it's an MP siphon). Losing multiple runs because I made minor mistakes was not fun. Chakra patches up the minor mistakes easily. Literally went from spending two hours on it to winning in two tries. Use Blizzara on Disgorgon's jaw. Always breaks it and it will use petrifying mist once it's close to stagger anyway, and so activating Corsair's Compass is fine. Do not ever replace precision defense focus. Naz's parry build strat is the easiest to win with. Use the command menu slow down feature if you have to. You will almost never get a run on Mindflayer where he does not use the projectiles and you can stagger him as early as Naz. This is why Chakra is important - parrying all of these projectiles is not easy.

That disgorgon was a nightmare, i noticed tho when he jump to hit you, you don't need to press guard again with the sound, just holding it after the perfect block make you perfect block again

Done with all the solo Legendary Bouts! Your guides are keeping my Platinum alive. Thank you Naz!😊

I saw something very interesting in another video, after Mindflayer does telekinesis, apparently, you can hide behind one of the rocks (getting off of the moogle first) and you won't get damaged by psychotic break, haven't tried yet but this guy had 1 hp point before Mindflayer blasted the rocks and didn't die.

Mindflayer is a sick joke. Whoever decided to put a synergy-weakness enemy as a solo fight needs to be put in a deep pit.

Finally made it, with a couple of changes, I used fury ring and cure materia instead of swiftcast because I was getting too much damage in last 2 battles and I'm terrible at parrying 😅...

So far this video has been really helpful, the only thing I'd say that could help is info on when to block the mindflayer's magical attacks because the timing can be tricky when trying to second guess.

Your guides are my absolute favorite, i always learn something new and i feel like my skill level goes up incorporating your stratsgies. Also and this is the most important your strats are actually fun to use.

Thanks for the build! I followed every instruction to the letter and it worked out until after I kept not knocking the Mind Flayer out of his lightning attack. After multiple tries and restarts still no luck so i had to wing it in my last try for the clear lol Not sure if it might have had something to do with my strength materia only being 4 stars and not quite maxed but all my other materia was maxed.

You don’t mention using Go Wild in your voice over…I was wondering how you activated fury

most of the difficulty comes from the lack of practice players have with cait sith, I think. Additionally the enemies are hard, but the first two rounds are over in maybe 5 seconds, each. the reapertail is pretty easy as long as you're specific about it. using haste as soon as you do Lets Ride helps create the opening for moogle knuckle and reduces the need to time spent during stagger for the 3ATB boost creation - I've noticed that if you get in its face (as in, in against the hitbox) you can usually force it to use its pincer move which is significantly easier to react to than the side move (which is also fairly easy if you catch it about halfway through the animation). that being said, the suevite is difficult to do, moreso than the mindflayer, the mindflayer has probably given you enough difficulty across the entire game (between the actual fight, headcase, and other fights where the devs decided to include it) that you understand its moveset more easily, or effectively. The suevite, without the stagger that comes from blizzaga definitely makes this hard; but the biggest issue (I found) was the camera. It makes it hard to read the movement of the swipes in time for the percision perfect guards. Also if you're having difficulty, remember there IS a version of this fight you can do on easy with Cait Sith in order to practice the movement and timing. On easy it should be easy enough to be done solo by cait sith and gets you accustomed to the camera movement. Hope this helps anyone finding this guide! *Addendum, the setup itself is fairly good, although I would consider putting a curaga on if you've got difficulty with guarding, the percision is probably essential but steadfast block can be replaced. ATB isn't terribly hard to come by in this run.

The mindflayer one is beyond aggravating... It always gets off that unblockable attack even if targeting it right away... I am either just out of reach or a ms too late... This fight sucks...

finished all thanks to your guides. now this one remaining. yuffie was too easy and got it on first try

Only have two left to do weal with the Zack and Sephiroth ones. Cant wait to see your strategy on them.

Idk why this challenge is fun to me. I guess BoF solo attempts have made me like suffering lol. I'm going through many of the guides from this challenge and then I'm going to put them all together and make my own video for those struggling thank you for the inspiration PS yeah round 5 is wack. For my summon I'm using Gilgamesh I'm using kind of a slower Chip away strategy and let mog tank for my tutorial

Fucking done with cait sith. Good lord.

I seemingly can’t seem to do this one. I actually love playing as Cait Sith but the mindflayer is too much

Dodging those attacks when it teleports was so hard until I watched this. You can just CANCEL them?! HELLO?

Sir you are a life saviour

My last solo fight just before "I'm a Hero" and "Bonds of Friendship". First 4 rounds I go like a tornado but can't beat Mindflyer somehow. When he have a copy they do two lasers which always are killing me. So many ties and still nothing.... 🤔😳😕😐

Love your strats, but for some reason my Mindflayer wasn't playing ball and doing everything out of order which made the compass essentially useless. I changed to the fury ring to brute force it and got him first go.

Got through the fourth fight now working on mind flayer. Fourth fight im flubbing it i do lets ride into jumping off and eunning around building atb to cast blizzaga as much as i can to break his stamina to stop during stagger. I always keep the moogle out if it dies resummon and continue to run and build atb. Dummon odin as soon as available and let him help widdle down by using all fathers fury instead of blizzaga...

This made outer worlds feel like easy mode, I didn’t get a crit during telekinesis but got lucky and perfect blocked it. Once staggered it’s a wrap but this stage 5 of this simulation was goddamn terrible game design with a character move set like Cait I don’t enjoy. Thanks for the guide tho Naz, 2 more legendary sims to go!

I dont know how these tutorials make it look so easy to block. I need to find a strategy that doesnt involve precise timing. I've gotten platinum on remake, intermission, and crisis core, but in this game I cant even block once. I dont like how this franchise is going away from strategy and more into action. I try to fight mindflayer from a distance, but he gets me everytime with accursed orb. Im stuck on this, chapter 12 rufus, and sephiroth on the rulers of the outer worlds. (optinoob has a great strategy on that last one, but sephiroth gets me with shadowy chains every time.) Might have to call if quits after being 250 hours in. Slow works well on mindflayer, but he throws those orbs when you try to fight long range.

Hello. How do you get the 3 ATB bars ?

3:30 you missed saying to use haste after mounting and guarding. Not using haste means no 3 atb when you need it so your guide doesnt work if not really paying close attention to the animations in the video. Well not to say it isnt doable at all, just the atb generation is slower so cannot use commands as quickly so it does take longer ..

Any ideas why when i used Fortune Telling on the Mindflayer after he splits it isnt stopping the attack?

I thought ruler of the outer worlds was the block for me but no, they had to put a solo fight for Cait again. zzzZzZzZZzZ

Finally got this one down! Off with the mindflayers head.

I’ve tried every build and literally nothing works it’s stupid

For me this is just impossible. It’s frustrating and became just uninteresting and boring

I would have liked to have done this in a quicker way l haven't used Cait Sith much at all. At least that stayed true to the original game . lol. I played through the original so many times when I was young. Beat it in so many ways, with varying self-imposed restrictions. (item only, no materia, etc.) There wasn't a single time I desired to have him in my party. And whenever I did use him, his limit break Death Joker'd me. 🙄

this was the worst and less fun to play, really an unpressured enemy? i swapped magnify for elemental thunder, magnify imo is not needed at all, if you are lucky enough the aoe damege of firaga can almost kill first two round thank you as always now the last two

Best tutorial ever👍👍

Has this been tested on the new patch? 4 or 5 for me will not come close to dying on the 1st stagger. Best I could do is about a quarter. Mindflayer instakills with the purple orbs.

Very good strategy but somehow it doesn’t work vs mindflayer. Despite fortune telling he just kills me.

Made it to round 5 on my first attempt with this strat. Just gotta do better to finish off strong

Why do I keep getting 50% hp restore, but only 30% mp restore?

can't get past round 4

This shit was annoying af. I had to go practice the 5th round in Junon. Got good at parrying all of his attacks. Couldnt do it without that

You say terrible fight. Umm you kicked its butt to kingdom come.

Thank you for these vids but man this crap took me 5 hours of trying to beat just because of the last two rounds such a garbage designed fight for cait

There has to be another build for this, it VERY annoying 😅

Hands down the worst character in Rebirth. God awful.

Seriously though in all honesty how crap is this game lol

I have to go back to ch 9 to do this I am on 13 on hard, so you know the trash layout of this game prevents me from doing this now.... I think the layout of square enix games may be effecting the sales... I won't bite again. I'm an Xbox guy Halo rules and I rule Halo... come see for yourself
