Very helpful, thanks so much. Been trying this fight for a week with a bunch of different builds. This one, and the solid explanation, are what finally worked.

You’re welcome. Glad to know I was able to help you out :)

ATTENTION ALL: This build only works if you are good at precision blocking _every single one_ of the fast moving purple orbs and dodging Eldritch Horror when it happens. If you can't do that, you NEED Chakra. Just swap out the poison and petrify materia for that. Otherwise, it's simply not possible.

Damn! I’m trying to get better at blocking but I’m really not good at it. Even the scorpion beats the hell outta me most time. This is a good build I know I just gotta practice but I’ll try this too.

@@akhafasu i got the Squid boss’s health half way down whenever I posted the original comment but that big ass rock he threw at me killed me. It’s doable I just gotta practice a bit. I’m still young but getting older so I definitely don’t game for as long as I used to. I try one task on the VR thing a few times a day each day. I blew thru the other single challenges pretty much I’m just terrible with Aerith and Cait.

I never thought this cat would be this useless until this fight. The last fight was the most annoying across all solo battle. Thanks to your guide I finally beat this challenge with alot of luck and I would never play this challenge again!

If you’re struggling as I did in the last battle, my extra tip is to use slow and any chance you have Muggle Mine, it helps A LOT getting him staggered faster! Ps: Thanks sooo much for your tutorials! You are an angel and did amazing using a Chrono Cross in one of them! ❤

Had to master that movement and style of Cait Sith, word of advice yall, this method works super well, when you get to the round 5, Mindflayer should mainly focus on your Moogle so you can cast Bioga (if you didn’t switch it to Chakra) and warning, you can run out of MP but if you follow this guide line by line, it shouldn't be too bad. 💯✌🏾

Thanks for the guide!! This was such a bullsh*t trial haha. I ended up using SteadFast Block Materia Earrings since I could "easily" beat the first 4 rounds without the need of dealing over 9999 at once. That also helped me get ATB by blocking the Mindflyer projectiles!

Nice. I like your strategy

Mindflayer was an ass, mostly because I suck at blocking, but I eked out a win with one HP and zero MP!

Congrats!!🎉

I had to combine multiple guides. The first 4 are simple enough. If you gang up on the mindflayer you can keep him to a regular pattern. I had to make sure the moogle in was in good health but I used physical attacks and used ice when I had atp

Wow this one was the worst of all the individual challenges. Thanks again for the guide, just gotta say as others, I went a little more defensive with Steadfast block instead of Bioga for the last battle... And now onto Bonds of Friendship! (I'm scared lol)

How necessary are the Genji Gloves for this setup? Going through the video, unless I missed something, the only time more than 9999 damage was done was against the Gi warriors in round 2, who are still easily wiped out without the extra damage. If so, maybe a different accessory would suit this build better, (my mind jumps to the Malboro Orb to extend the length of Stop to get more damage in while they're staggered) Def gonna be trying this build out though. Having no luck against the Mindflayer so far. Maybe this can bring me to victory

@akhafasu

3 ай бұрын

Yes, you can change the accessory to your liking. I used it just to be done with round two. Because sometime the Gi will give you a very hard time if they are not killed quickly. They’ve got some brutal attacks. So equip whatever suits you :)

I did it by blending your strategy together with another guide I saw

Your build and strategy is not helping me against the Mindflayer. He teleports way too close to me and uses Astral Apprehension, and I can't get away fast enough. This is incredibly frustrating, I am this close to just putting Elemental and Lightning in my goddam armor. EDIT: Yeah, if you're not good at avoiding Eldritch Horror or blocking the fast moving purple orbs, this fight is impossible without Chakra. I had to use that in order to win.

Not sure what the issue is, but you can keep running and his Astral Apprehension won’t connect. Don’t stand at a place and attack when you see him disappear

sorry man the mindflayer round 5 starts blasting magic and 2 hits OVER! its done not even the red attack, just basic magic and its over.... No wonder most gamers laugh at this company.... 140 million can't be wrong...

You need to block. If you have a Gotterdammurung you can use it for a limit break
