Dude you are single handedly unblocking people from this Platinum, big thanks to you and all your hard work ✌️

One slight change I'd do is using thundaga on hecteyes since you've got thunder with elemental. That way if you mess up the timing of it losing reflect, you'll just get healed and not KO'd.

Got all the Brutal and Cloud/Barret/Tifa/Aerith thanks to you, just waiting for the 5 last guides. You're a true savior ❤️

man is not from this planet, his guides are so simple that anyone can understand , at this point i was doing alone all this legendary solo challenges but seeing all this i will not bother with last two i will just wait for his guides and do hard mode story, thanks for your hard work

MAN IS ON A STREAK! THANK YOU FOR THE KILLER GUIDES 🎉🎉🎉

Small tip: just as an insurance, I changed chakra with barrier. The 5th fight against Jabberwock I used it not to get one-shot if I was not paying enough attention to block his physical attacks. Chakra could be "sacrificed" since he will then replenish your hps thanks to his thunder-based attacks and, in case, you can manage to build up a limit and use healing wind to cure

You have single-handedly helped me through so many of these…THANK YOU!!!

Got to Quetzalcoatl so many times, RNG was a pain. Constantly doing physical attacks on me. Got so annoyed with it the next time I got to him I threw a Radiant Ward on top of the Arcane Ward and went ham on it. Built 2 ATBs, Blizzaga'd and repeat. The Radiant Ward is really great, managed to push the stagger bar and also helped to build the ATB back. The Radiant Ward in general is massively helpful. Aerith's basic attacks are generally weak, so the Radiant Ward negates that, even in normal battles. One of her best weapon abilities in my opinion, alongside the Arcane Ward, ATB ward and Lustrous Shield. Bring on Red! Thanks for the guide Opti!

If this game had the broader player base, your channel would be MUCH, much larger. I hate that because you deserve greater praise for your videos! They helped me, and you're widely praised in Reddit for helping countless people get their platinum trophy!

Thank you so much, I have been following your guides for the last 2 days, and they have been incredibly helpful

Thank you OptiNoob. Got Cloud, Barret, Tifa and Aeriths all done today thanks to your videos. Fantastic work as always 😁

Your guides are like cheat codes and have been super helpful you got yourself another subscriber thank you 🙏

You are a legend, doing these as you upload at this point and eagerly awaiting the last 5!

Once again easy ride. Good job on these challenges and huge thanks! On the hectaeye, i run backwards just like you did but insteed i cast radiant ward and then arcane. Then i fill up 2 atb and use ray of judegement i almost staggers hectaeyes right away. Once staggerd it loses its reflect ( have hard time reading the small text above it's head) and is open for kill 😁

All of those guides from Hellions Intonement up to here really helped me to get through as to get little knowledge on what to look at for materias! I also love the simplicity of the explanations, so thank you!

That damn hectite put his shield up right after he took it down and I died. Ugh! Only took 3 tries. Bad RNG is all. Thank you so much!

Cant wait for Bonds of Friendship and the last one after that. Those are the two I'm stuck at. Your guides are truly helping all of us.

These guides have come in really handy. Whilst I might not be following the builds fully, there are some similarities. They’re great for planning based on what enemies are coming up and getting a visual of what I can block and what needs to be dodged before I start the fights.

Your video are absolutely helpful, best ff rebirth Chanel so far ❤

Loving the guides. Very straightforward and clear instructions Any plans for doing a guide for each chapter on hard mode at this point in time?

Tips from my experience in case they help anyone Tipless tip: First and second round are pretty much easy although the RNG can be bad on yin and yang Tip; yin and yang can be stopped (double check tho I'm tired) Hecteyes: When the eyes enemy uses soul drain, stop whatever you're doing and quickly Dodge twice to the left or the right it worked for me every time. Also if you are confident enough to go without chakra materia you can throw in a subversion and breach the shield The two giant blue blobs can be taken out without an arcane Ward if you lure them into a diagonal position and use magnify blizzaga they will become staggered, you can build up one ATB and use fira to take them out For the final enemy: The vortex attack is just at its feet it will damage you so be sure to be far away The electro diffusion attack will heal you with the lightning elemental Dodge away from the ability prey as noted here At the beginning of the round for the final enemy I casted radiant Ward and avoided its abilities real quick then I staggered it threw down an arcane Ward and distorted with level 3 spell (These beginner tips are helping me. I usually watch two different videos also so that I can get an alternative strategy for one of the monsters if I'm not good at another one but this channel has the best beginner friendly builds and carried me through most of hard mode) Once I'm done with all of these I will be able to shut up for a while LOL

I never really liked using strategy videos but the last few brutal challenges left me with no other options. I gotta say Im happy I found this channel though its getting me through them very easily. Thank you

Please continue making these🙏 you’re making this platinum such a more bearable experience

All of your legendary bout guides are amazing! Thank you so much for making these incredibly difficult challenges seem like a walk in the park. Really appreciate the help on this insane plat!

Man, you are an angel! Your guide are amazing! Hello from Brazil, without your guides I couldn't be able to win all this challenge! You are the best!

Once again another stellar guide thank you and your channel deserves thousands more views man you’re a gold mine of easy strategies to follow. Anything from steel foreskin to Cloud bully build. I can’t wait to see your final two challenge builds you’re very insightful.

You are our only hope. Keep the videos coming. Thank you for this.

I like watching your ff 7 videos and other videos like yours. I'm never playing this game again now that I have the platinum😂. So im going to watch you guys enjoy it.

You got me through Weiss like a year ago and here you are once again, love the content brother

I've followed your guides from Hellion's Intonement up to now for my runs and they have been amazing, keep up the solid work man!

I had to do this fight twice because I had bad RNG with Hectayes: He did Blizzaga twice in a row then Fireaga so I died instantly lol. This guide did help me beat it, thank you

You are the GOAT!!! Don’t know what I would do without you you amazing human!

I gotta say, i love your guides. Thank you for helping all of us with the struggle 👍

This one done as well just now after following all your builds and strategies from this video. This is by far the easiest of the Legendary Bouts between Cloud, Barrett, Tifa and this one which is Aerith. Took about 3 tries with less stress. Now on to Red XII vs The Beasts video and then go from there. Thank you so much once again! I do plan to complete all the VR missions before tackling Hard Mode. I finished all mini games including piano, etc. Just need this VR missions completed to complete the 7 Star Hotel stuff.

You are absolutely awesome my dude. I’ve watched many other guides before stumbling to yours. Pretty much you have been on point for everything so far. You really helped me with VR Sephiroth, stun locked that fool like there was no tomorrow. Thanks again brother.

Done it first time round thanks to this walkthrough to! Absolutely epic battle guide. Without your help I’d be so stuck on this!

Your last 4-5 guides have taught my so much about linking materia and crafting a good build for these that I was actually able to do this one on my own. I desperately look forward to your Red XIII guide though because I hope there is an easier way to do this then what I'm trying.

Your video is amazing. Easy to follow and helped me get through this challenge in no time.

You are amazing!!!! Can’t wait for the red and cait sith guide, I feel like they’re the hardest to get a hang of

Thank you man.. this guide is awesome like all of your guides...

Got this one as well! Using Aerith was never easy, until I saw this guide.

Thanks again slowly working my way through the list. Another thing I did with the Hecteyes I got hit hard and needed a big heal so I used a level 2 thunder while reflect was up for a big heal.

In case anyone isn't aware, if you cast Radiant Ward, anyone standing in it is immune to damage while casting a spell. So if you're timing your casting properly, you can easily kill any enemy

Thanks. Did it on my first try with this guide

I would not have guessed Aerith would be the easiest trial. I dropped radiant ward before Arcane ward on the fights to build atb faster and make it easier to dodge. The characters aren't broken these guides are ! Thanks youve made getting this far possible

Liked and subbed. Been using your guides starting with rulers all the way through this. Looking forward to the rest!

For the "yin and yang" and hecteyes the better way is cast radiant ward for better movement, fast atb charge and fast stun, after radiant ward you can also cast arcane ward and if you cast in radiant ward you invulnerable

Thank You!! Got this on the very first try

Thanks for another banger video, the only problem I had was getting the timing down for ward shift and prey. Once you get that Dow q melts easily, also when it comes to yin/yang if yin is the start just block the whole time. You’ll get to the red but he’ll switch that’s when you pop shield and arcane in that order (also get behind it because he may move) and build atb and keep attacking after 2 atb because you might stagger him. Cast firaga when he’s stun or the cs for his switch happens, that’s how I got it to work every time

Best solutions for platinuming this game. Great work!

Your guides are awesome!

Haven’t managed to be the hectateye yet, but this guide is working pretty well otherwise. Will keep at it.

First try. Thank you for this strat

You have completely removed the stress from this game for me. Much love homie!

This was done first try with your method, mate. I hated Aerith because her dodge is so slow but this with the ward shift, was 3.14. Easy as pie! Cheers mate! Legend!

Managed to beat Cloud, Barret and Tifa yesterday, so here I am, watching this at work because I can't stop thinking about playing more now that I have your help haha

Epic streak of awesome videos. Thanks for all, you're awesome.

great guide and the only one I've one shot so far! fantastic work and build

Literal guide goat man 😤 Made so much progress today

~~~Aerith's Material Loadout~~~ Plumose Rod, Cetran Bracer, Genji Gloves Ice-Magnify, Fire and Ice-MagFocus, ATB Boost, Eskill Lightning and Wind-Elemental, Ice-MagFocus, Chakra, Steadfast Block, Magic Up, First Strike Phoenix Enhanced Magi guard, Enhanced Tempest, Not-So-Fleeting Familiar, HP+200 Fight Begins at [2:15]

3 legendary in 1 day so far 1st try I love you sir 😭

thank you for the guide man you’re the best. if i may add something, put swift materia to link with fire & ice. it’ll make the battle faster. i still did the same amount of damage in ice with only one magic focus materia so i guess putting two magic focus doesn’t add up to the damage.

Optinoob, love your videos cause I’m sailing to the platinum but don’t be afraid to use Radiant ward during some of these.

Smooth like butter Tifa and Aerith done fantastic guides 🎉🎉🎉

Legend yet again! This was the easiest solo yet *breathes in relief*

Truly amazing again indeed a god send. Very appreciated of your hardwork on these video guides @Optinoob ......i was able to beat it on my 2nd attempt huhuhu 😁👍

As a man of culture I feel it's important to highlight that you received BOOB EXP at 6:28. That is all.

Mate thanks a lot, will be trying it in the morning 😭

Why couldn’t the others be that easy 😂. Your guide made them a joke. You’re a legend

Wow... this one was hilariously easy! Awesome guide dude

Opti I gotta say watch your rhetoric because you can wait for Hecteyes to drop Reflect but what you should do which you were close to doing is just staggering it. Dropping relfect you build stagger insanely fast. The monster is basically a paper tiger. Instead of waiting for him to drop reflect just keep attacking during his stagger. You can even apply Radiant Ward to ensure your basic attack drops him faster and THEN you don't have to worry about it immediately repplying reflect or having the lingering effects of the dispel kill you because you were too fast. Stagger first then nuke

Also radiant ward makes you immune to damage during cast and builds atb quicker. The multi eyes blob can be breached at the beginning to remove reflect and radiant ward Square attacks stagger it very fast.

Took almost 90 minutes for me using your strategy. My biggest problem was that 4th round. Even when not marked as having reflect, I found my blizzagas bouncing back. My solution was to switch out the chakra for subversion. I would also put down a radiant ward and then cast dispel. Soon after, he would stagger and my blizzaga would take him out.

Another awesome guide! Waiting on Red XIII now!

SUBBED BRO YOU ARE THE GOAT!

Well done. Worked like a charm.

This was by far the easiest legendary so far, got it first try thanks again Optinoob.

These strategies are always perfect

Bravo sir. We love our little glass canon Aerith. 👏

Killer guy my dude! Mission complete....OH YEAAH!

Amazing once again dude. Can’t wait for the rest haha! Are you gonna do a guide on the final bosses from Jenova onwards? I’m struggling to get to certain points with enough help and can’t, for the life of me, figure out how to do it easier

LIKE BUTTER BABY. Couldn't get the timing right with hecteyes. Threw a disempower on to get that reflect off fast. Plus I'm trying to get all Jonnys items, this is the last one I need; before going into a casual hard more playthrough. So no Genji gear for me. Made it through all challenges up to the Cloud/Zack and Cloud/Sephiroth duos matches. Used your guides for all these man. Tried some with some setups I came up with but after the second or third hard mode Sims my setups weren't doing it. Yours really came through clutch. As this game ages I could see all these having hella views bro. Most definitely.

CHOCKRA!!

Let's not talk about how I cast blizzaga a second too late and poor Aerith got a giant icicle to the face.

You have done it again. Thank you so much. Your guides are all so easy to use and have worked 100% of the time. You are amazing. Do you plan on releasing the rest of the legendary bouts anytime soon?

Once again thank u my good sir and here i was thinking aerith were the weakest character. But no this girl can do real damage

For Aerith against Yin & Yang ATB Boost Arcane Ward and Run arround. If he starts physiscal Attacks use Ward Shift. As he said, if he Transform to Yang Fire Level 3 build Atb after that and 1 Ray of Judgement should finish him. For Hecteyes be aware he can also Spawn on your Arcane Ward this is where u can start again the Challenger. Otherwise this Guide helped also.

I've been following your guides and they have been very helpful, but this one still gave me a lot of trouble. It wasn't because I kept on getting hit and needed chakra to heal, it was because I have no patience against the purple slime thingy, and right as I fire off a spell it would end up taking me out. So I took out chakra and used Subversion to help with its immunity to magic.

Easy indeed. Got it first try thanks to you. Keep it up!

Still giving you my thanks cause I luckily got this on my first try using your method (and not to brag, but I was a bit more fortunate than you on rounds 2 & 4).

Bulletproof strategy, many many thanks.

Aerith done. Getting so close to the plat!

Love you man,first try

Idk if i just had lucky RNG but i was able to do it without the genji gloves but thanks again for the great guide!

Did it on the second try with your guide, failed on the first one because I tried to dodge prey with warp teleport but it wasn't as fast as I hoped. 😂

I messed up only once perfect guide

my man!! thank you, I would never dream finishing 4 legendries in one day lol .. cloud fight tho was annoying trying to stick in their back for damage but the rest was really easy one more thing!! I HATE how aerith dodge !!

Just swapped the ice+focus with a petrification+ward for the 4th for his stone glare, and I was good to go, thanks o/

if anyone wonders and wants to do it before you get the genji gloves like me it works perfectly fine without them i just used Chocobo Kings Cape instead to be able to use the wards etc faster just takes a bit longer but not a problem at all

Compared to the previous challenges his one was the easiest by far, thanks for your setup!
