    Here is a bit of advice for those stuck with Gigaworm swallow. Just use starshower with tifa as soon as it enters the ground. It will not be able to swallow you anymore. Learnt it after being beat 10 times.
    THUMBS UP for Optinoob for creating such great guides.

      Agree! Started with remake but I liked character/weapon leveling compared to this piece of garbage. See where each character unique but forcing party combination and not giving choice of characters already used to sucks. Plus having to bean unforgiving dark souls brutality to get items needed to overcome hard level enemies and bosses, what challenges after get them? 3rd element and magnify including ribbons should be special quest or secret enemies or bosses rewards. To help beat main enemies and bosses.
      Sorry for venting, should have seen complaint to enix had 12 numbered complaints that remembered when writing. Especially mentioned they need to start reading online complaints. Got standard automatic response they'll pass information to required department.
      Wish they had website showing active, completed and history of bugs, issues, complaints, etc... like MMORPG games.

      I feel the same way! I have a job and children and I carefully put my time into completing everything and even beating hard mode. But this? Takes most of my night before work... wasted I might add because I get one shot by a cactaur... there's no skill involved there!

      Final fantasy games were my favorite rebirth totally ruined series. I'm disabled 24/7 headache, neck/shoulder pain, diabetes, buzzing both ears and anger management issues. So, when play games like final fantasy becoming fully emersed in game I become totally free of all issues above. This is way I manage pain, but with rebirth mini games and hard mode(dark souls copy) all thats happening is intense frustration where almost end up throwing controller at expensive 3d tv.
      Again sorry for venting, but these videos got me this far until skills and timing aren't good enough for remaining challenges.
      Thanks again for taking so much time putting these videos together helping so many (NOT GAME GOD players).

    For those struggling to get past battle 8 with the Gigaworm, try putting a revive in Aerith in the spare slot and swapping out one of Cloud’s Magic Focus heals for an Ice materia.
    When doing it, set up Haste on Tifa then Stop on the gigaworm and build up an ATB then use Unfettered Fury, and use you the Chi Trap combo until it unstops then use it again and use the chinstrap combo again.
    You should be able to stagger it with this or get pretty close so when the worm does eat Tifa if you can’t dodge, switch to Cloud, build up 2 ATB and use Blizzaga on it and that should stagger it or get it within a couple hits of Stagger, that way it’s stagger led and you get Tifa back without her losing her ATB, Chi or health and then you wail on it until it does then focus the death claw
    (The second Magic Focus Heal is kind of redundant because Cloud can heal everyone one to full with only one set of it)

For those struggling like me, go practice against the Dune worms in Corel region. I've found that I was not waiting long enough before dodging into their attack.

    • @elwingy
      @elwingy Před 2 měsíci +46

      @@FocusedNeroXL27 The big difference is that Souls games are truly based on skill and not this crap SE is doing with Final Fantasy. Also Souls games respect your time. The boss is 2 steps away from a bonfire. In FFVII Rebirth you have 10 rounds of unknown fights. You lose round 9? Start over. This is an exhausting process of trial and error trying to calibrate specifically a very complex battle system for each specific challenge and on top of that it demands almost perfect execution and quite a bit of luck so as not to get hit by bad RNG.... whoever thought this was a nice idea for a Final Fantasy game clearly needs to have a talk. Remake was already tough, then Intergrade became worse and with Rebirth they went absolutely bonkers... it is truly sad because it stains the otherwise great opinion i have for this game. By the end of FFVII Rebirth's endgame content you feel exhausted and a relief that it is over. Not even a slight sense of joy...

    For anyone interested. When fighting the Duneworm and DeathClaw. Whenever the Duneworm digs down and heads toward you, let him get about half way to who you’re controlling. Then immediately switch characters to someone who is farther away. The AI will perfectly dodge the Duneworm 100% of the time if you do it right. If you pick a character who is too close. There is a chance the Duneworm will change targets quickly and swallow the player controlled character. That’s how I finally beat round 8.

  • @SnickersBarJamal
    @SnickersBarJamal Před měsícem +5

    Ok finally just beat this. What I can say I used in addition to this strategy was add an ice materia in aerith's open slot for the 10th round on the DV and ember zu, use star shower over chi trap in every round except the 1st (i would use chi trap followed up with a star shower on barnaclaw after building up 2 atbs only because he was the slowest enemy and everyone else was too fast to stay in the trap), with the worm always build up 2 atbs and only use 1 and save the 2nd one for when he uses swallow to use the Star shower on the reaper to avoid the swallow, always use transcendence after u use aerith's limit break when u build up 2 atbs (the 1st time to build up the charge and the 2nd time to attack with it), and with the Diabolic Variant in round 10 to focus on him 1st and the right arm, when he clones and teleports himself make sure to press x and make sure its not locked on to an enemy so u can scan the arena, look for the DV that has the glowing tentacles, once u defeat the one with the glowing tentacles no more clones can be formed and whatever DV is on the board once u kill them that's it. Then work on the ember zu.
    P.S. i never used shortcuts. Shortcuts when using x (would sometimes bring me to tactical mode) or triangle (would sometimes use up my rage and fall and i would have to cast unfettered fury again) would screw up my run so i used tactical mode for everything. I also used synergy abilities and limits once they became available (limts I used after planet protection). If i had 2 atbs i would 1st use the synergy or limit then follow it up with 2 star showers (u can cue two attacks back to back. So i would start the limit or synergy and cue one of the star showers. Once the 1st star shower started I would cue up the 2nd one.

      I dont recall the name, easy to find though.
      Open the map, scroll over to the Intel Tab with Chadley, and you will see a list of all the intel for each region. Just highlight each one until you find the one which says sandworm or whichever type it is, you can then just press the button prompt to warp straight to it!

    If you're like me and have problems dodging the worm, just do what I did in my regular playthrough: SWITCH CHARACTERS! When it goes underground, immediately switch characters. It'll go for whoever you're controlling. You'll see it coming underground towards you. Then switch again when it's near you. Let the AI dodge it lol they do it perfect every time 👌🏿

      This is way better than using Time, which is what I did. I canned Tifa's Chakra, and replaced it with Magnify just for that round 8. I spent way too long trying to dodge a worm that's far too hit & miss for my liking considering it's 15-20 MINS just to get to that point.

It did alot better than I was expecting for my first video. I still have a lot to learn though. I'm trying to keep up with all these games and keep learning for future videos. It definitely takes alot of routine and optimization to do CZcams, but I'll get it figured. Also, I watch your videos and others to learn more. Thanks for the videos, buddy.

Also I took off the Limit synergy materia(purple one on cloud) so that I could activate his limit break if needed. As well had element + fire in everyone’s armour. Made a few of those fights cake walk. Thanks for this and keep doing what you’re doing!

  • @RiMoa

    If you guys struggle a bit: I actually used a mix of the quaga spam & this materia build. Worked quite well for me (did it in about 5 tries). Maybe you wanna try this out. I used:
    Cloud:
    Rune Blade, Cetran Armlet, Furry Ring
    Magnify Materia with Petrify, Enemy Skill, ATB Boost, First Strike, ATB Stagger, Phoenix Summon
    Magic Efficiency with Petrify, HP Absorbtion with Poison and Petrify, MP Up, Revival, Elemental with fire and ice.
    Weapon skill: Attack +20, Enemy Parts Damage Up, Full Power Magic, ATB charge Rate up
    Aerith:
    Ceremonial Staff, Hades armlet, Chocoking‘s Cape
    Steadfast Block, Precision Defense Focus, ATB Boost, Chakra Materia, Bahamut Arisen summon
    Synergy with Comet, Magnify with Barrier, MP Up, Healing, Revival
    Weapon skills: Altruistic Buff, Enduring Ward, Spiritual Harvest, Reprieve
    Tifa: Kauser Knuckles, Cetran Bracer, Transference Module
    Time with Swiftcast, Magic Focus with Time, Precision Defense Focus, Prayer, Odin summon
    Magic Focus with Time, Magnify with Time, First Strike, Revival, HP Up, Precision Defence Focus
    Weapon skills:
    Synergy Damage Up, Martial Arts, Enemy Parts Damage Up, Concentration
    I think you can actually switch the comet materia from Aerith with some other. I don‘t think it does a huge difference.

      @user-or4ct5ow6b Před 2 měsíci +1

      yea, almost similar build...
      revival is a must for every character or at least 2 characters. shat will happen.
      the worm needs to be dodged, if u cant dodge it, then stop is the key.
      start with aerith, manawall everyone, stopga every enemy, then unleash tifa.
      once stop wears off, do it again. worm should be dead or near death once second stop wears off.
      now it is easy.
      u could also slot in reraise materia just in case, i did swiftcast reraise with tifa and then had cloud reraise aerith and then back to tifa to reraise cloud. Just in case...
      none died in battle or got swallowed.
      stop is key. when both enemies stop, it is a lot easier to spot swallow coming and run for it.

    I know someone already mentioned this but I feel like everyone should see it if they’re struggling with the worm:
    Tifas starshower can prevent it from swallowing you while you’re doing this. So just use it when it’s coming back up. You don’t even have to hit it. I guess it’s something with the animation
    Another tip is, you can use sonic boom and plasma discharge from the enemy skills materia whenever you get the chance since sonic boom gives you bravery and faith. It’s not necessary but it’s there

    Yeah, Reapertail sometimes just does a 20 second Pulverise, it's dumb as hell.
    If you accidentally set a spell or something going on an AI just as he gets going he can combo them to death stupidly quick and then catch the second one in it too.
    You have to keep an eye on the AI and pull them out with a synergy skill, which can be easier said than done if a lots going on.
    Also I decided to go and redo this challenge with this setup and holy hell it's literally easy mode, sub 10 minute clear and didn't even come close to losing more than a quarter health bar, absolutely insane setup.
