How to Unlock Teach Me, Great Warrior

Return to Gongaga at the End of Chapter 9

Chapter 9: The Planet Stirs

How to Complete Teach Me, Great Warrior

1. Help Sotetsu with his training.
2. Assist with Yuffie's 1st lesson.
3. Assist with Yuffie's 2nd lesson.
4. Assist with Yuffie's 3rd lesson.
5. Assist with Yuffie's final lesson.
6. Return to Gongaga.

Help Sotetsu With His Training

Follow these steps to find Sotetsu and help him with his training with Yuffie.

1. Exit the Town from Gongaga's South Gate.
2. Go to the right side past the 2nd gate.
3. Turn left around the rock.
4. Find Sotetsu on top of the cliff ahead.

Assist With Yuffie’s First Lesson

Follow Sotetsu down a path to begin Master Yuffie's first lesson. Similar to Fiend Intel, you'll need to complete the objectives on the upper left side of the screen to pass the lesson. Your first opponents will be a group of Amphidexes and a Frightflower.

Objective	How to Complete
Help Sotetsu Strike the enemy three times	Stop Fighting until Sotetsu hits the Frightflowers 3 times
Pressure an enemy	Use Fire Spells on the Frightflower to Pressure it
Don't let Sotetsu fall in battle	Simply keep Sotetsu from dying in combat. Use Potions or Healing spells when he drops to half HP

For this battle, it is best to prioritize the Frightflower first to stop it from transforming. Then, you can use Triple Slash on the Amphidexes since they have low health bars.

You Can Retry the Lesson If You Failed an Objective

You can always retry any of the lessons if you failed an objective. To do this, just go to the area of the lesson and hold the triangle button to retry.

If you need to restore your HP and MP, you can go back to Gongaga, sleep in Cissnei's house, then fast travel to Gongaga's south gate, where you can follow the path back to Sotetsu

Change Difficulty If Enemies Die Too Quickly

Some lessons can be difficult to complete if you are over-leveled. If you are defeating the fiends too fast, you can change the game difficulty to Dynamic to scale their levels to you. To do this, just go to System > Options > Gameplay > Difficulty > Dynamic.

Assist With Yuffie’s Second Lesson

After completing the task, follow Sotetsu to the second lesson's location. In this lesson, you will be up against two Gagighandis and two Amphidexes. Gagighandis are the easiest to pressure. Simply use Triple Slash while they're in Ambush stance to Pressure them.

Objective	How to Complete
Pressure enemies twice	Use Triple Slash when the Gagighandi is using Ambush to Pressure it.
Stagger an enemy	Use Focused Thrust after pressuring an enemy to build up the Stagger gauge.
Don't let Sotetsu fall in battle	Use Potions or Healing spells when Sotetsu drops to half HP

For this lesson's objectives, it is also best to prioritize the Amphidexes first to avoid turning into frogs. Once they are gone, you can focus on pressuring and staggering the Gagighandis.

Assist With Yuffie’s Third Lesson

After the second lesson, follow Sotetsu to reach the third lesson's location. Here you must defeat two Chimera Mimics and two Grandhorns within a 2 minute time limit.

Objective	How to Complete
Stagger enemies twice	Use Focused Thrust on the Chimera Mimics to instantly stagger them
Defeat all enemies within the time limit	Use an Ability Attack on the Grandhorns while they are blocking and follow up with Synergy Abilities to deal large damage
Don't let Sotetsu fall in battle	Lure the Grandhorns away from Sotetsu and use Potions or Healing spells when Sotetsu drops to half HP

Prioritize the Chimera Mimics first since they are easy to defeat. The Grandhorns in this lesson can also deal a lot of damage, so make sure to lure them away from Sotetsu by constantly attacking it when you can.

Assist With Yuffie’s Final Lesson

Finally, follow Sotetsu to the final lesson location where you will fight against two Mastodons. These enemies are very tanky and can deal significant damage if you do not dodge or block its attacks.

Objective	How to Complete
Don't let Sotetsu fall in battle	Keep Enemy Aggression on you and use Potions or Healing spells when Sotetsu drops to half HP

It is crucial to draw aggro away from Sotetsu by constantly attacking the Mastodons. You can also try to lure them into a corner by using ranged attacks to keep them away from Sotetsu.

Once you have aggro, you can begin to pressure the Mastodons by using Fire or Firebolt Blade on them. After a while they will use Breather, which makes them pressured. This is the perfect time to use powerful abilities (e.g., Cloud's Focused Thrust, Yuffie's Art of War, etc.).

Once a Mastodon is Staggered, unleash all of your Limit Breaks or Synergy Abilities on it until it dies. Rinse and repeat for the remaining Mastodon.

How to Beat Mastodon

Return to Gongaga

Return to Gongaga to complete the quest. During the cutscene, Cissnei will become the coalition's mentor and she will tell the would-be warriors to ready themselves for training (much to the dismay of an unpaid Yuffie).
