    Thank you to Square-Enix for providing me with a review code for this game!
    The big trick with this challenge is to throw the shuriken into a 1500 point box, then cast Windstorm on that same box. It will explode and deal massive AOE damage to the boxes around it. Also, retrieving the shuriken causes Yuffie to fly into the targeted box, dealing big damage. I can't help make the camera any easier to contend with, so that will be your biggest learning curve. String both these tips together and you'll finish this challenge with plenty of time to spare!

    COMMON FAQ - Where'd that time box come from?!
    At 2:10, I get a time box in the distance. It's not intentional, my shuriken flew off into the distance and ended up breaking a stack of boxes. The boxes are blocking the cubby you see at 2:32. Additionally, I hit a time box at 2:28 - same thing happened - my shuriken flew off and hit a box I wasn't even close to targeting. That time box is normally on top of a stack you'd see at 2:44.
    I'm not getting any secret time boxes or anything that you can't get on your own. They just got broken out of order, unintentionally. Yuffie's targeting is on drugs.

    To anyone coming to this a year and a half late, just spam Triangle/Y nonstop and do the throw+Windstorm combo for white boxes when available, especially on the ones you can only hit at range. Throw+Windstorm on the middle box for the ones in a big clock formation, hits all of em and only takes one more throw on each to break. Beat it with ~15s to spare.

      @@Jibb_Buttkiss Practice more I guess? You'll have to know where every box is and figure out a good route to them, the teleport from hitting y/triangle after a throw helps but avoiding backtracking is still ideal. Also, there's one box that's just evil, there's a part where you turn a corner I think left to continue but you need to go around a corner to the right instead to find it. I don't remember if the minigame normalizes your damage but if not, try coming back to it after a few levels or with a stronger weapon.

  • @yul_eo
    @yul_eo 8 месяцев назад +24

    Little precision that I just noticed : in order to get the hidden time boxes in the 2nd big area, you need to use NORMAL windstorm, not the enhanced one that triggers when the shuriken is attached to a box.
    The trick is that normal windstorm is weaker but wider, which allows you to get past the wall to break time boxes on the side. Enhanced windstorm is way smaller so you usually can't these boxes with it.

    @DaltonSR20DET 3 года назад +32

    At 2:49, your Windstorm attack activates where your shuriken is at so if you throw the shuriken first and then use Windstorm, it produces a bigger and stronger Area-of-effect attack and takes out all of these boxes with the single Windstorm. This was definitely a useful guide, and was able to complete this with about 20 seconds to spare. The biggest hurdle really is dealing with the damn targeting system but I had to practice each room til it becomes memory.

    Some advice for something that took me a while to realize (sorry if I’d just skipped over it in the video), it’s not enough to turn the the camera to aim, yuffie needs to be pointed at the target too. In fact I think this is more important, once I figured out how to aim properly I did it in 2-3 tries. Only other advice is don’t over spam the throw in rooms with the magic boxes because sometimes you hit your target right away and you don’t want the shuriken coming back

  • @Kronos_88
    @Kronos_88 2 года назад +8

    I want to make this comment for people like me who watched this guide but still seem to struggle due to her quirky targeting system and this is why: Even though something may be targetted, Yuffie will always throw her shuriken at whatever SHE HERSELF is facing unless you're fully Locked On. For example, at the start of the run, all you have to do is turn Yuffie to the right and you can throw the shuriken, you don't need to turn the camera.
    Also, ROLLING IS SUPER IMPORTANT since it summons your shuriken back to you. I tried it for 2 hours with this guide, then just said "fuck it, I'm going to roll after almost every box kill" and then I got it in 2 tries. Basically the pattern is: look at box -> throw shuriken -> do action until box is dead -> roll -> look at next box -> throw shuriken -> do action -> roll, etc. Also that Banishment near the end that clears those six or seven 1500 boxes is really important; without that it's an extremely tight run.

      They're hidden and wonky asf, I think they're below ground. You have to target the bottom box at least two boxes in or something for the ability to reach those boxes.

    FINALLY got it this morning. This challenge was pissing me off so much. I kept comparing myself to where you were at the same point and wondering how the hell you had so much more time than me at certain parts. Just beat it with 1.5 seconds remaining because even though I finally managed to make it to the final room and do Banishment 3 on the group of 1500 boxes at the same time you did, I somehow screwed up on that 1500 box behind the moving barriers. I must've missed my throw and not noticed it, casting Banishment I, which missed... but thank God I had another ATB left so I threw again, landed it, used Banishment I, and just got to 50000.
    I hate this challenge and never want to see it again.

    This only helped me, so I knew where I needed to be time wise when it comes to finishing each room. That being said, I'm still thankful. Yuffie is fun, except for this shit. I didn't hate her battle style until this box shit, because precision doesn't exist for her. Even using lock on doesn't help. She does whatever the fuck she wants half the time. If her head is facing one way, but you have the camera facing where you want her to attack, she'll aim towards where her head is pointing. Making camera angle nearly useless during this mini-game. It's not fun, it's just a miserable time suck. At least clouds version was fun.

    • @SweetJohnnyCage
      @SweetJohnnyCage  6 месяцев назад +2

      Nope, it's all in the one Banishment ability. Banishment levels up the more ATB abilities you use in a single combat encounter. This minigame counts as one combat encounter, so the more Art of War, Windstorm, or any other ATB abilities you use, the stronger Banishment becomes. I believe you need to use 6 abilities to level Banishment up to Level 3.

    @brandonanderson3000 2 месяца назад

    Great guide!! Late to the party, but I have a few insights I’m not sure I saw, sorry if I’m redundant:
    1. parry materia really helps with zippier movement
    2. Using the menu (X) to slow time allows you to patiently and calmly select your next box target
    3. Double triangle (PS5) is the quickest way to move between groups of boxes, and 5 sets in a row is the best way to break single 1500 boxes without ATB and which Yuffie can reach; pair with using menu to slow time to keep the weapon or Yuffie from flying off and try not to hit an extra triangle
    4. It’s definitely stated, but I would emphatically agree, especially for purple boxes: get used to cancelling actions after throwing to keep Yuffie grounded and in ranged elemental mode
    5. This will likely take you many many attempts to learn the path

  • @TheGamerMusician
    @TheGamerMusician 3 года назад +6

    One extra tip I found is to throw the shuriken on the first side boxes and while the shuriken’s hitting them, use ninjutsu to destroy the purple boxes in the hallway. Once the side boxes are destroyed (you’ll see your points hit 1200), follow this guide from there and you’ll have over 40 seconds out the first room!!

    My route was a little different. I used Wind Storm for most of the boxes. As needed, I built up my ATB gauge by spamming attack twice and dodging to reduce recovery time. For the 100 point boxes, I targeted them to instantly break them. For the 200 point boxes, I just attacked them after throwing my shuriken, in which I used dodge rolls to approach them faster. Then I finished off the last box with a banishment. I also did take advantage of breaking boxes behind the wall, as well.

  • @DeathEatsCurry
    @DeathEatsCurry 2 года назад +3

    Somehow managed to clutch this with 20 seconds left out of nowhere. I think the trick is to not let the timer pressure you into button spamming. Taking a little bit of time locking and swapping targets can really speed things up in the end. For example letting the shuriken drill into white boxes while you ninjutsu down purple ones. Also Cactuar Caper is nice for that too, since it counts as a throw, but it's AoE.
