    One more thing to mention. Make sure you don’t get caught by the Megaflare at the same time the Ifrit is active. No way to survive that. For me it was easier to not damage him to 50% before the first flare. Survive it with manawall + magnify. Heal up then deal with Ifrit. Summoning Shiva to help bring him Dow quick was also nice.

    First- This douche likes doing tons of DOT dmg via wide AOEs, offsetting this is actually pretty easy with spirit syphon and algid aura while deadly dodging (link enmySkl-HPabsorb, DD-HPabsorb) and if u have regen up your going to be restoring HP not losing. Second- it is absolutely crucial that you have Mward since this will even cut megaflare dmg by 1/2. Alongside most of its other attacks as they're magical Last but not least- Make the most of counters, specifically Counterstance. Victorious

    umbral strike is closest non aoe, on hard mode he summons Ifrit as well.....

    24 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    that is bahamut vs bahamut for hard mode or the secret battle, which has a bahamut in the 4th of 5 figts, the guide is correct

    U can get Bahamut in easy-> Use it in hard Mode...... Dont see ur problem.

    So you tell me to use Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith, but then give me strategies using Barret. Also the recommended summon to defeat Bahamut is Bahamut? Need to clean this up a bit. Good info over all, but need to proof read

    No,you will be have access to Chadley in chapters 16 and 17

    A quick way to stagger Bahamut is when he does the countdown. For example when it says Five, Four, etc, have Aerith use Firaga, Barret use Focused Shot and Cloud using Focused Strike. This is one of the quickest way I found to increase the stagger. I was able to stagger him before the crazy mega f ing flare.

    Question! I've seen that I need to get the battle intels done by chapter 14, which I've done, but do I need to then beat Bahamut within Chapter 14?

    18 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Just remember that when megaflare starts, dont even bother healing or anything. Just go full out attack on him. You die eitherway.

    17 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    This is like legit, the easiest boss on ultimecias castle so maybe u need practice?

    16 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    I hate this FF Boss and it's here again

    15 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    I found it is possible and easy to dodge umbral strikes with Tifa using parry materia

    14 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    It appears that manawall greatly reduces the effects of umbral attacks.

    13 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Umbral Strike is avoidable. I personally have dodges both on them several times with different characters. One of them being Barret. BARRET dodged them. It's about timing and you have to have a little distance because it's fast.

    12 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    This battle really forces you to go full offensive from start to finish. Letting him use mega flare is pretty much defeat. Rather than relying on revival for that move, better just go ham on him and kill him quickly.

    11 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Is using refocus when bahamut starts the countdown better to launch multiple moves or should I just use standard offensive limits?

    10 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    nice extra strategy tips pal. thank you. and yeah dude that Ultimate is bad news.

    9 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Now I'm going to hear a different music when bahamut preps his megaflare.

    8 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    When bahamut prepares mega flare.
