@@Nitelight9 Caught me during my edit! :P So you had 1 Potion(1.8k), 6 Supplement(36k), 6 Ether(7.2k), 3 Summon Charge(9k), and 7 Cocktail(21k) which is how you got the 75k Unused Item Bonus. Ever since I found that info out it's been easier to minmax things since sometimes the cocktail will improve the combat score more than using the item detracts, and items like Tents and Cottages are incredibly point efficient for their effects, while some aren't like high potions, which iirc heal for less than 2 potions at the same point value.
Thanks for this! Some tips as well: -If you have the Kuja blade for Sephiroth (from the FFIX event), he works incredibly well here: =Edged Wings blade does massive ice damage, and lets him take Tifa's spot, while the Kuja Blade handles the MATK down =Further, because it does PATK Down, this frees up Aerith to take her Parasol instead (for MDEF+PDEF down on enemies) =Further, Edged Wings blade has X-Sigil buster, allowing Sephiroth to break 5 sigils per hit in several key fights! -It's easier to avoid the Flame Wheel attack from the first boss if you manually control Cloud and don't have him break Sigils - instead, just spam the Lightning Strike attack from the Murasame while your other two teammates break the sigils. This'll buy you enough time to kill him before Flame Wheel, as long as one of your teammates has a relevant Sigil Buster materia slot. -Beating the Scorpion before Tail Laser is rough, so it's better to debuff him before the laser hits. =Similarly, debuffing the Scorpion right at the start of the fight is dangerous, since the debuff will likely wear off before he attacks. Manually control your MATK debuffer and use it when the meter is at least halfway full, for safety's sake, unless you chose MATK Down Duration from the first fight. -Ifrit is best saved for the Sahagin Prince and then the triple-poison-dog fight. ----- Full guide: My party was: -Cloud (Mursame Garb, OB4 Murasame, OB0 Zidane Blade, and Ifrit [Hellfire]). Specc'd subweapons for high physical attack with around 6.7K health. Materia: X-Sigil, Fira Blow, and O-Sigil. (Fira Blow *NOT* in last slot, so it benefits from +20% Physical Damage) -Sephiroth (Edged Wings training garb, OB5 Edged Wings, OB0 Kuja Blade, and Shiva [Diamond Dust]). Specc'd subweapons for high magical attack with around 6.7K health. Materia: O-Sigil, Fira, and X-Sigil (X-Sigil in last slot for the X-buster!) -Aerith (Chocobo Outfit, OB1 Fairy Tale, OB2 Sun Parasol, Healing Wind). Balanced health, MATK, and Heal (~7.6K health) from subweapons. Materia: Esuna Poison, Ice Breach, O-Sigil. I prioritized not having any healing on Cloud or Sephiroth so the AI wouldn't waste their ATB on non-attacking, when Aerith has healing covered. General itinerary: #1. Grab item chest #2. Start Motorball fight. SET SELF TO MANUAL/SEMI-AUTO. On Auto, you'll auto-target adds when your AOE will be dealing with most of them! If you haven't practiced manually swapping stances yet, you should be practicing that in the Tower and the like. -Motorball: Generally, manually control Cloud to spam Lightning Strike. =Limit Breaks: Use none. Try to get Sephiroth's Shiva limit break ready: you want Diamond Dust for the AOE. It's okay if Sephiroth gets close to full on his summon meter without filling it, if that happens. =Use it Lightning Strike once, then wait until your attack meter is full before you use it the second time (to benefit from the +50% full meter damage on your second hit, rather than only on your third hit and onwards). Your teammates can handle the first sigil-break Stream Phase, and you want to not break the Stream Phase ASAP so your DPS window to kill Motorball before it can use Flame Wheel is larger! =Once the Stream Phase is interrupted, swap to Aerith for an AOE heal, then continue DPSing with Cloud. Manually swap between characters to use their strongest attacks so they won't save up ATB too much, otherwise Flame Wheel may have time to fire off. =As long as Cloud spams Lightning Strike instead of helping with the Stream Phase interrupt, you should have plenty of time to kill before Flame Wheel. If you can't do it, it's not the end of the world, though surviving Tail Laser in the Scorpion fight will be harder. =Victory buff: MATK Down Duration is recommended. #3. Grab the item chest to the right of Motorball (there's also a blue rare item chest if this is your first time). Head right to the Scorpion fight. -Guard Scorpion: Swap to Aerith immediately to Ice Breach the Scorpion, then Diamond Dust with Sephiroth. If Sephiroth's Limit Break isn't ready yet, attack with him once and he should be there. =Limit Breaks: Use Diamond Dust ASAP (after Ice Breach). DO NOT USE IFRIT YET. Ifrit is not needed for the extra damage, the Scorpion resists Fire, AND you need Ifrit for the Sahagin Prince fight after this! Use Healing Wind after Tail Laser, if needed. =Note that if you cannot Diamond Dust immediately, you'll likely get poisoned. That's what Aerith's Esuna Poison is for, it's no big deal. =Do not use Kuja Blade (or whatever MATK down you have) at the start of the fight. Wait until the Laser meter is ~50% first, otherwise it'll likely wear off before he fires it (unless you chose MATK down from the previous fight, in which case you should be able to MATK down right away safely). =If your DPS is high enough, you *can kill it* before he fires off the Tail Laser. I failed to do this, and I recommend playing it safe and just debuffing+healing rather than going for the kill unless your weapons are better than mine. My Cloud survived with ~50 health somehow, but if you follow my tips (and heal+debuff MATK), you should survive with more leeway. =Swap to Aerith to fire off Ice Breach+Nightbloom as needed, to kill faster. Healing Wind after Tail Laser for safety (or before Tail Laser if you don't have time to top off the health of his target). =Victory buff: Use the MDEF+PDEF up one! #4. Use Supplements/Potion as needed on the Tail Laser Victim. #5. Go left, to the Sahagin Prince. -Sahagin Prince: Use Ifrit right away to wipe out his teammates. Afterwards, spam Nightbloom to get his defenses down and just annihilate him. Stream phase isn't hard to break with Sephiroth's sigil buster. =Limit Breaks: Just Ifrit right away. =If you do not have Ifrit ready (Cloud died to laser or something), spam Kuja Blade from Sephiroth when he buffs, and keep your health topped up with Aerith. You'll be able to break Stream Phases with Sephiroth's X-Sigil buster no problem, and that'll buy time to debuff+heal as needed. =Victory buff: PATK Up at the cost of Healing Potential is recommended. Aerith can still keep up, and the extra damage on Cloud is very good. #6. If this is your first time, go past where the Sahagin Prince was to pick up 300 blue crystals from a shiny-pickup on the ground! #7. Go down the tunnel that was adjacent to the Sahagin Prince's tunnel to fight Gallonbaloir. -Gallonbaloir: Swap to Defense immediately for the initial rush (don't forget to switch back afterwards). Save limit breaks, debuff him as needed, and keep your health high. =Limit Breaks: Use Healing Wind to save more of Aerith's ATB for attacking: this'll be the last place you need to use Healing Wind, so just use it when it's available and you're hurt. Save Shiva and Ifrit for the next two fights. =Debuff him as needed: Sephiroth's Kuja Blade will shine here. Just keep him debuffed to feel nice and safe. =Not really a tough fight with the Kuja Blade and Aerith's AOE heals. Fira+Fira Blade from Sephiroth+Cloud will kill him at a good pace. =My DPS wasn't high enough to kill him before his Mend phase, so just Nightbloom away his extra defenses, interrupt, and heal up as needed. =Victory Buff: Ice Potency at the cost of Fire+Lightning potency: you're mostly done with other elements now anyway, and the final boss is weak to Ice. #8. Heal up as needed (Cottage recommended, rather than supplements+potions). #9. Go past where you fought the Guard Scorpion (up+right) to fight the Poison Dogs minor enemy encounter. =Despite being minor enemies, they hit hard, they hit fast, and they poison you constantly. =Use Ifrit here! You won't really need the fire damage against Reno. =If Ifrit doesn't kill, it'll bring them to the point of death where one extra attack will finish the job (Sephiroth's Kuja Blade will hit all three for a multikill if needed). You won't be able to keep up with their damage! #10. Buff up for the fight with Reno: -Top off your health if you are afraid (use second Cottage if absolutely necessary, though it shouldn't be needed) -Ice Potency Cocktail on Sephiroth -Summoncharges if needed to get Sephiroth's Diamond Dust back up (don't need Ifrit so don't bother topping Cloud's summon meter) -Use Ethers to get more ATB on Sephiroth+Aerith. You want at least 3ATB on Aerith going into the fight, for Ice Breach! #11. Move all the way down to Reno -Reno: Like with the Guard Scorpion, open with Ice Breach->Diamond Dust =Switch *fast* to Aerith and ice breach immediately, followed by Diamond Dust. You do have time to do this before he casts Pyramid. =Limit Breaks: Use them as you get them, though of course open with Ice Breach->Diamond Dust. =From here, just break Reno's sigil phase (won't be hard regardless of whomever he freezes). =Esuna Poison, Nightbloom, and Ice Breach as needed. (Esuna may be needed if a dog attacked quickly before Diamond Dust fired off). He should go down before he does another attack after his Sigil Phase gets interrupted. If not, you'll still have plenty of time to finish the job with Sephiroth and Cloud's high DPS.
Dude, this was incredible. From a practical perspective, it was extremely informative, and I know what my route will be for my own run. From an entertainment perspective, I laughed several times. It was so relatable to my own VH crisis dungeon runs! People usually only see the final product, not the bloopers. We should show the bloopers! Especially when you still get the S+ at the end 😂 Also, sorry to add another thing, but… Reno*, not Rufus 😅 Seriously though, great video. Probably my favorite Ever Crisis video so far, not even exaggerating.
Man, thank you so much for this. Incredibly encouraging and really helping me solidify my choice to put this out. Bc yes, normally I would run this 10x if that's what it took to make things look "professional" but I really thought there was some value in this, and the poll results preliminarily confirmed this. Can't believe I called Reno Rufus 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ guess it was par for the course on this one 😂😂 thank you for pointing this out for me. Glad you enjoyed the vid. I actually had more fun commentating this one than any other guide! It was cringe, but also gave me a lot of smiles.
Thanks for uploading this, awesome video Nite!! Nice to see you get S+ even with all those mistakes. Pumping out content really fast, already with Sunsin VH and Bahamut VH, great work my friend Had fun watching this, wish you the best 🤣
Thk man, Very helpful video! I was able to finish this dungeon based on your mistakes, lol. One change i made is to kill the 3 hound ads right after the scorpion, so that they won't be leveled up later. Their poisions are the worse
Because of your bad run mine went great. Until rufus, I did not know it but I brought a single target ice summon and only took out a dog. he pyrimid Cloud the only person who had the circle so he got to hit him hard as hell. No one died but if it could go wrong it all did in that final fight. I actually thought I would wipe on final boss. score 870982, despite the last fight.
Thanks for the guide to at least give me a starting point. I had to go with Sephy, Cloud and Aerith. Sephy is just too powerful with Aerial Frostblade to leave him out. Got 816k my first try and the S+. I made sure to save my summons for the right fights thanks to your f ups🤗
I did the dungeon before any guides were online so I went in blind. I didn't bring any poison esuna because it was just blind and I frankly didn't expect any poison there. It was all fine until I got to that surprise fight with triple poison hounds. My whole team died within seconds. I used another ticket and I just unleashed a limit break on them. No joke those hounds were more dangerous than the bosses. IMO the most deadly enemy in that dungeon.
Yes and it's hilarious because that's exactly what happened to me. I was casually running to the last boss and those wild hounds appeared. I thought fine I'll kill them quickly. 3 seconds later my whole team was dead. That poison is insane. Most terrifying combo I never hope to encounter again.
i did a run trying to copy yours, and surprisingly enough it went even worse, lol. got everything right on the second try tho, thanks again! btw, are you attempting to get s+ on the high-risk battle 3 (for the event emblem)? i'm 99% sure it's doable if the giftuar bugs out and doesn't use recovery and if you manage to get -30% heal at the beginning, but the attempts are very limited so i haven't tried that much yet
Glad the second run went well!! I haven't looked at that event in quite a while. I may already have it. Is that something people would be interested in do you think?
@@Nitelight9 afaik f2p players complain about it being way too hard to get, and i only managed to find 1 video of a dude sub-200k who managed to get it (though i tried copying his build and the best i got was 3.3m, with the recovery glitch...). now sure how many people would be interested in this, but if you already got the emblem and still have the party build saved then it shouldn't be too much work i hope.
What are the immunity/resist element of boss ? We saw in the video than one was immune to fire, but for other ? Wondering if full ice team could be nice for this run. Thank you for the video
@@Nitelight9 well done. Heroes of Might and Magic III is one of my favorite games of all time. I was unstoppable with all my friends whenever I played as Solmyr (pictured here). So his legend lives on. lol
Bro!!!!! I LOVE HoMM 3!!! Also 4, but 3 is like my entire childhood. I usually cheaped out and played necro for the broken strat, but also really liked Rampart. Such awesome memories, and I've been meaning to ask you this for q while now! @@joshuafitzpatrick7714
Yeah, I know what you mean. Also depends how hard the fight is otherwise. Sometimes it's just overwhelming to try to heal through it all, but it never feels great to have to bring it.
This run was kind of a pain but got S+ 2nd try, I also died on my first attempt because I was completely caught off guard by Reno. I wasn't equipped right with my sigils and he killed the pyramid character immediately then it just snowballed from there. I'm glad abandoned factory very hard was a cake walk in comparison lol
@@Nitelight9 i accidentally clicked on the Abandoned factory using the same team as Sunsin cave, and got S+ on 1st try :) They are all weak to fire, so the same team setup works.
Yes lmao, I was informed of this a bit ago and am embarrassed but also laughing. Everything about this video was a blunder. Haha, I'll try to do better 😂
Yeah, Rufus is very hard if you can't burst him. But set someone up for ice with diamond dust, buff them with the cocktail and wail away on him! Tifa was not even my primary DPS. So I think it's very doable!
god i ragequitted this dungeon.. my first run went into a solid c rank because i died to reno at the end... lost 4 dungeon keys to retry... i thjink i jsut gonna skip the s+ here.. in so annoyed by this dungeon
Haha I'm happy with the score! In fact, the only reason I even considered posting this was to show people what is possible even when things are going horribly 😂 and to show that you can use a boat load of items lol
Point values for items - Cottage/Megaelixer 18k, Tent/Elixer 12k, Super Supplement 9k, Supplement 6k, High Potion 3.6k, Cocktails/Jellies/Summoncharges 3K, Turbo Ether 2.4k, Potion 1.8k, and Ether 1.2k.
Great info! Pinned & thank you!!

Full guide:
My party was:
-Cloud (Mursame Garb, OB4 Murasame, OB0 Zidane Blade, and Ifrit [Hellfire]). Specc'd subweapons for high physical attack with around 6.7K health. Materia: X-Sigil, Fira Blow, and O-Sigil. (Fira Blow *NOT* in last slot, so it benefits from +20% Physical Damage)

Well this just motivated me to try this dungeon out.
In the immortal words of Starsky & Hutch "Do it" :)
I missed that reply. I always say that and very few get the reference lol. Just went back and S+ this one.

Okay, I just checked, my best score is like 3.35mil. Wasn't going super try hard, but I doubt there's any way I could get the S+ lol @@LoneWanderer4k
What are the immunity/resist element of boss ? We saw in the video than one was immune to fire, but for other ? Wondering if full ice team could be nice for this run.
Thank you for the video
I believe that none are resistant to ice. Only resistances are Fire, Lightning, and Water if I remember correctly.
@@Nitelight9 Thank you, so will take Sephiroth for this run 😁
I love this. lol
Thank you! I had so much fun voicing through my atrocities 😂 was hoping that would translate to the viewers
Hey my friend do u do the other limited dungeon too on video?
Yes, I plan to! Will probably start working on it tomorrow
@@Nitelight9 allright!
Would be helpful to show the bosses info cards at the end of the run so we can see their resistances and other information.
Noted! My apologies for not including this. I will try my very best to remember to do this in future runs!
congrats
Thanks!
Reno knocked me silly until I figured out to save up the summons.
I have to ask, is your portrait from HoMM??!
@@Nitelight9 well done. Heroes of Might and Magic III is one of my favorite games of all time. I was unstoppable with all my friends whenever I played as Solmyr (pictured here). So his legend lives on. lol
Bro!!!!! I LOVE HoMM 3!!! Also 4, but 3 is like my entire childhood. I usually cheaped out and played necro for the broken strat, but also really liked Rampart. Such awesome memories, and I've been meaning to ask you this for q while now!

@@Nitelight9 glad you did. If the game didn’t take days to play I’d play it more often lol.
I like to leave esuna poison behind, as long as my healer has strong enough heals and can dedicate that portion of the fight to heals only.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Also depends how hard the fight is otherwise. Sometimes it's just overwhelming to try to heal through it all, but it never feels great to have to bring it.
This run was kind of a pain but got S+ 2nd try, I also died on my first attempt because I was completely caught off guard by Reno. I wasn't equipped right with my sigils and he killed the pyramid character immediately then it just snowballed from there. I'm glad abandoned factory very hard was a cake walk in comparison lol
Very nice!! Well done! I haven't attempted abandoned factory yet, but plan to tomorrow/monday! Def was more of a pain than I was expecting
@@Nitelight9 i accidentally clicked on the Abandoned factory using the same team as Sunsin cave, and got S+ on 1st try :) They are all weak to fire, so the same team setup works.
WOW! hahahaha How nice is that?! I still haven't attempted it yet but hopefully will get a chance tommorow!@@giangkid
Also, bring Ruinra not Ruin Blow so you don't get the counter from Rufus. Just a quick tip 👍
Yeah, great addition!!
Everyone keeps calling him Rufus...His name is Reno lol
Yes lmao, I was informed of this a bit ago and am embarrassed but also laughing. Everything about this video was a blunder. Haha, I'll try to do better 😂
My bad 😊 my English is bad too.I Only memoriez playable chars but thats me
did you call Reno Rufus
I sure did 🥸
Wow ill test again hope rufas does not kill me this time, even with S ill be happy.
Yeah, Rufus is very hard if you can't burst him. But set someone up for ice with diamond dust, buff them with the cocktail and wail away on him! Tifa was not even my primary DPS. So I think it's very doable!
Done S+ 844k ty for the walktru and guide ur awesome.Now I'm waiting for keys to reset and your walk tru for abanded factory 🎉
@@SlaviNedialkov-wl7qj I'll be working on that starting tomorrow!
Ty so much again ur great person.
@@SlaviNedialkov-wl7qj greatly appreciate this comment. Thank you!
i failed 3 times also, i had to waste a ticket on my forth and got almost 900k xD
Hell yeah!! This was my 4th run too and it just spiraled out of control lol
god i ragequitted this dungeon.. my first run went into a solid c rank because i died to reno at the end... lost 4 dungeon keys to retry... i thjink i jsut gonna skip the s+ here.. in so annoyed by this dungeon
I totally feel you. You have a lot of time to get stronger with the free pulls and stuff. Maybe come back to it in a week or two!
Not a nice run, but you got S+ waht u wanna more? 😊
Haha I'm happy with the score! In fact, the only reason I even considered posting this was to show people what is possible even when things are going horribly 😂 and to show that you can use a boat load of items lol
😂
1. You realize thats not Rufus right? His name is Reno 2. You called Aerith Saria or some crap when she died. Is that a inside joke or something?
Yes and no... it turns out I just make mistakes sometimes.
