@Soldier1stClass4 ай бұрын
Yeah that bastard gets me occasionally too lmao speed is your friend in this one. Especially your opener. The game doesn’t tell you this, but you can spam ATB boost while it’s saying the round number, and you’ll immediately use it if you keep spamming it. Then hit your opener immediately after. Those split seconds can make a major difference.

Save Thundaga for when he turns red. He’ll exit out of the phase if you hit him with a thundaga.

I did this with this strat, the only thing that I changed was a Magic Focus materia to a Swiftcast materia - I found that the damage was not an issue it was surviving and the Swiftcast made it so I could get the Thundaga off at any time - IE as soon as White Wold powers up, or the moment I had 2 bars with Ironclad to stun it for more damage

Don’t stand anywhere in front of him for any reason. Try to stay on that right hip. I know it can be hard because he’s constantly turning, but he doesn’t 180 immediately when casting those, so dodge back around him as soon as possible. You can kinda dodge under his arms as he’s loading up the attack but don’t get caught in them. Timing is everything.

I swear, White Terror casts Earsplitting Howl so early in the fight that I can't cast Thundaga quickly enough. I've seen many comments in other guides suggesting that enemies were buffed in the latest patch without it being mentioned in the patch notes, because I'm following the videos exactly. I'm using your exact build with Gotterdamerung instead of Genji Gloves, but I see you're pressuring faster and dealing more HP damage than I am. Do you think it's possible they really did buff these enemies?
@Soldier1stClass2 ай бұрын
It’s possible but typically Square hasn’t done much with their games in way of patches besides their obvious ones like XIV and stuff. The original Remake only got a patch so it was playable on PS5. So I’m honestly not sure. It’s possible, but idk.

I'm not convinced you actually beat the Ironclad with this build, because you don't show it and there is no defense for his Graviga attack reducing you to 1 HP. It feels like this build would need a couple extra materia slots to work without Gotterdamung (e.g., Heal, ATB Stagger, etc.) My time was also 10 minutes upon losing to Ironclad; there's no way you did this in 5 minutes without Gotterdamung.
@Soldier1stClass3 ай бұрын
The very end of the video is me defeating ironclad. None of these fights had me begin with a full limit bar, so I clearly don’t have the Gotterdammerung equipped. There are also people in this very comments section that have completed this with my build. Keep in mind, I had already beaten this a few times for this video when I recorded that time too, so it was my most efficient time. Different people, different play styles, different efficiency, and it’s easy have different finish times. Thundaga is how you get health back no matter how little HP you have, and his firaga will also help heal. I wouldn’t make a guide I hadn’t completed myself.
