How to Beat Bahamut

Attack the Back after Bahamut Descends

The right time to attack Bahamut is when he descends from the sky after jumping. Attack his back and then move away when you see he is about to do a second attack.

Use Long Range Moves

Crisis Core Reunion - Bahamut Island. mode:show

If Bahamut is on a separate island, short ranged attacks won't reach him. Use abilities such as ranged materia and Limit Breaks to deal damage to Bahamut even when he's far away!

Guard Bahamut's Jump and Lightning Bolt

Jump	Thunder

Bahamut's Jump and Thunder attacks are hard to dodge, so just guard them to take minimal damage. You will lose the target Lock-On after Bahamut jumps, so make sure to Lock-On him again.

Move in a Circular Path to Avoid Ray

When Bahamut casts purple fireballs called Ray, you can move in a large circular motion to avoid them. If you're still having a hard time dodging every shot, you can opt to block to decrease damage taken.

Bring Ether and Soma for the Rematch

Ether

Soma

Bahamut in the rematch can dish out attacks that can not only damage your HP, but also deplete your MP and AP. Bring lots of Ether and Soma to be able to use Materia.
