Thank you so much for helping me to clear this challenge and get my platinum trophy! I cleared the challenge with Barret and Cloud as white mages for Aerith. Barret however did help me out in taking out Bahamut with some Blizzaga spells.
Damn I didn't know that Hp absorb + element would work, gonna try this later. Been trying for a lot of times. Levi always fucks me up and drains my mp for bahamut. Thanks for showing the setup
@@jianuzzi DUDE Holy shit man, Just did it after 10+ tries. Just staggered levi when he was 1 sec away from casting Tidal Wave I got so lucky, with Bahamut I followed everything you did and I did it. Your setup is so viable dude! For that you earned sub.
Amazing, didnt think this was possible, when u ran out of MP on Bahamut with him and Ifrit about to double team u I thought how the hell is he gonna survive this and beat the weapon but wow
Aerith's Equipment: Mythrill Rod / Chain Bangle / Fury Ring Materia Slots: Weapon: Lightning linked to HP Absorb / Refocus / Steadfast Block / Magic Up (x2) Armor: Fire linked to Elemental (to absorb Fire element as HP) / MP Up (x2) Summon materia: Bahamut Strategy: Always cast Arcane Ward for double casting spells at minimum MP cost. Dispatch Leviathan / Bahamut before they perform their strongest attacks. (need more info...)
Basically, cloud and aerith can make this challenge way easier if you know what you are doing. Cloud can just counter everything and he is very flexible and aerith can just interupt every opponent with strong magic attacks. I had tifa there just in case i got one of the bosses staggered while cloud and aerith make a fool of everyone else
This is the reason why aerith will......... lol highest magic dmg in all characters is damn op i hope the 9999 dmg cap will be extended on part 2 aerith will do 20k dmg lol with tifa stagger % inc i dont know why devs makes that you can do 9999dmg on level 50 lol
It really baffles my mind as to how you were able to do this so easily with one person and I struggle to do the same with three. Bahamut just goes in a rage mode and annihilates everyone, and always summons Ifrit everytime who gleefully helps in killing off two people and even when Aerith is the last one standing, he always targets her and kills her with his claw swipe or flare attacks before I'm able to cast more spells to finish him off. Maybe I'm doing this all wrong, but I'm just lost and frustrated because I feel like I'm ready to give up.
It's just a lot of practice. I definitely wasn't able to do this when I first started. I keep all my old solo run on my channel channel so people can see how I improved over time. Even today, I'm still finding new ways to get faster times and do challenging bosses with handicaps
@@jianuzzi all good dude you can always come to me for tips! Get tubebuddy if you can it's an amazing chrome extension that shows you where you video ranks on tags. This way you can optimize your tags for better searches
Beautiful video. I wonder why I’m the only one that is full of tonberry, shiva gets immune to magic after one attack and leviathan has a completely different set of actions...
@@jianuzzi thanks but it's not just about practice. I usually have 5 tonberry even if I try to kill them but when I focus on the boss they kill me. I did it once Aerith solo, but I had to reload because of them.
@@jianuzzi I literally have tons of tonberry while in every single video here there are just piros and a couple of tonberry. I seriously don't get the point. I did it once Aerith solo but I had to try it so hard because of them.
It increases all damage by 10%. So it also applies to magic as well. Just becareful because it also makes you 10% more vulnerable to taking damage as well
I used hp absorb with lightning to stay offensive while healing. I don't think it was tempest that healed her. Lightning hits fast so it may of looked like tempest healed
I’ve been using this tactic for the last week and Bahamut has made me toss his salad everytime. I don’t understand how it’s so easy for you and not for me...wait...it’s because I suck isn’t it?
Levi has a few moves you can't dodge. Briny bellow and spinning dive. The briny barrage (both circular and linear) can be avoided with a well timed dodge or parry dodge.
@@simoneciocca5825 keep Aerith with the same gear (it's shown at the end of the video), you want Tifa and barret if you want to play it safe. use Cloud instead of Barret if you want to be more offensive. Make sure everyone has fire and lightning materia equipped on all fighter as well as steadfast block materia, skill master materia, atb stagger. You could use time with magnify materia to haste the party or heal with magnify materia for group healing. Give Tifa atb boost and any other open slot can be for extra stuff you might want (pray materia or hp or mp up materia). I have some Tifa solo on my channel too if you want some reference on how to play her as well. Good luck bud
This is even more impressive than win top secrets with all chars at lesser time
I'm working on a faster time actually. I think I got it. Still mixing the materia around though.
i love how this game can just boil down to aerith and cloud murdering everything with spell builds
Poor old Pride & Joy down on his knees begging Aerith for forgiveness.😁Nice video man. Way to show off that Flower Power!!
Thanks bud! My next goal is to beat bahamut without him summoning ifrit
"on your knees... I want you to beg for forgiveness" - Aerith
Aeroth lol
Aerith while breaking Pride and Joy's legs:
I want waffle fries!
Pride and Joy: (Screaming)
Lol I can see her thinking that actually 😅

@@ulysse9022 what's his setup?
@@renzocalcagno536 they show it at the end of the video
Fantastic job! I can only imagine you making short work of the bosses with all 3 together.
Thanks! I'll be doing that here pretty soon.
damn i just beat it last night in 20mins with all 3 characters and you ain't even using any HP ups. Mad props to you 💪
Thanks! It's a fun challenge
this is outrageous ! you make it look so easy.
Amazing, didnt think this was possible, when u ran out of MP on Bahamut with him and Ifrit about to double team u I thought how the hell is he gonna survive this and beat the weapon but wow
I just uploaded a newer video of Aerith solo vs top secrets. Got a new record of 5:31. It should be on my channel in a few minutes
that was mighty impressive...mad props
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! I just beat it for the first time thanks to this!!!!
Good stuff bud!

This is just a road map to my solo strategy with Aerith. Check out my other speedruns
@@jianuzzi I'm interested in beating Top Secrets gauntlet.
@@renzocalcagno536 need help? I'm always down to help with shareplay if ya need
@@jianuzzi What's that? Do I need a PS Plus membership?
@@renzocalcagno536 ya you'll need ps plus for it. Do you have a mic? If you do I can help over party chat
Incredible job. Wow
I've gotta try this out. I've been having a rough go at it with three people up, but maybe if I focus on Aerith, I could actually get the clear.
It's a lot harder playing solo. This was a fun challenge. If you haven't beat top secrets yet, use your full team
This is so amazing! You did it so very well that it looks easy 🙂, good job 👍🏻
Thanks NELzane!

Τhe levi make all time tidal wave and kill me
Happens. Just keep at him
Thats pretty good for not using first strike
Mad respect bro
Thanks bud
This is really cool
Beautiful video. I wonder why I’m the only one that is full of tonberry, shiva gets immune to magic after one attack and leviathan has a completely different set of actions...
It's just practice bud. Learn the enemy move set and you'll dance around them
@@jianuzzi thanks but it's not just about practice. I usually have 5 tonberry even if I try to kill them but when I focus on the boss they kill me. I did it once Aerith solo, but I had to reload because of them.

Has someone a screenshot about aeriths build?
I show the materia and equipment at the end of the video
top secrets vs arieth boss:)
Aerith top boss lol
Why use the ring of fury? Doesnt it only increase physical damage??
It increases all damage by 10%. So it also applies to magic as well. Just becareful because it also makes you 10% more vulnerable to taking damage as well
i didnt think this was possible
Oh yes. I still hold the Aerith world record @4:35
How to you get another magic up materia? Awesome video man.
1st one is collecting the scrap before fighting the airbuster in ch. 7
2nd is from doing the pull up challenge in chapter 14
@@jianuzzi Thanks man! This Weill definitely help me out!!
Nice one. I loved how Aerith was able to generate HP using Tempest. Is it be default or you have to use certain materia?
I used hp absorb with lightning to stay offensive while healing. I don't think it was tempest that healed her. Lightning hits fast so it may of looked like tempest healed
Anthony Jianuzzi Yeah you are right. I just watched it again and Tempest is only generating APs.
@@jianuzzi Great strategy 😲😲
I don't know you can avoid levi attack like that
The circle barrage can also be avoided by dodging towards Leviathan too
Very nicely done!!
Thank you Microlipse
I’ve been using this tactic for the last week and Bahamut has made me toss his salad everytime. I don’t understand how it’s so easy for you and not for me...wait...it’s because I suck isn’t it?
There's a lot of timing with Aerith. Plus Bahamut is always a hard fight. You'll get it bud
Anthony Jianuzzi dude...holy shit no lie I JUST read this and then destroyed bahamut and the p&j! Thanks for your blessing lol
@@gteezy85 rock n roll!
Baret Frog form is a Big BLack Frog? Xd
How are you dodging these attacks from Levi? Like the dive
Levi has a few moves you can't dodge. Briny bellow and spinning dive. The briny barrage (both circular and linear) can be avoided with a well timed dodge or parry dodge.
how to double cast spell?
Use arcane ward
@@jianuzzi can u tell me what materia u use?
@@user-dd9cg7zc1c I show the materia and equipment at the end of the video
Quality!
I try
Why Cloud and Barret in Frog status? It's useful?!
Lol no. It's just for a solo challenge
@@jianuzzi Ah OK! XD.
And if I wanted to use them to help and support me, how to equip them following your guide?
