This is a video guide for using Aerith in the Cactuar Crush mini-game on Hard mode. Aerith is generally considered more difficult to use than Yuffie, so pay attention to the specific abilities that are used for each wave. Other than speed, your stats do not make a difference for this challenge, so it is recommended to equip First Strike and Speed Up materia. Additionally, you can equip Hermes Shoes to begin the encounter with Haste.
