How to Beat Legendary Bout: Cait Sith vs. The Abominable

This is a guide on how to beat Legendary Bout: Cait Sith vs. The Abominable in the Combat Simulator of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (FF7 Rebirth). Check out the unlock requirements and rewards, a list of enemies and bosses in each round, and the best build for Cait Sith to beat this challenge.

Cait Sith's Best Build

Equipment and Materia

Cait Sith
		Weapon		Armor
		Crystal Megaphone		Cetran Bracer
		Accessory		Summon Materia
		Gotterdammerung		Gilgamesh
Weapon Materia			Armor Materia
HP Up MP Up Magic Up Speed Up Steadfast Block Precision Defense Focus			MP Absorption Fire and Ice Healing Time Barrier First Strike Skill Master Chakra
Weapon Skills
Magic Attack Power +20			Max MP +3
Offensive MP Saver			Restorative MP Saver

This Cait Sith build relies on his Moogle to tank the enemy's attacks while you're repeatedly casting offensive spells safely at a distance. Thanks to MP Absorption and Offensive MP Saver, you won't have to worry about using too much MP every round.

Just make sure that you always have your Moogle active to distract the enemies and use Chakra as your main healing source so you can dedicate all of your MP to buffs and offensive spells.

If you feel like you don't need the reduced MP cost for healing spells from Restorative MP Saver, you can opt to replace it with Moogle Sentinel instead to help the Moogle tank more hits and reduce the amount of times you need to re-summon it.

How to Beat All Rounds

Round 1

Wait for the Grangalans to group up together before killing them in one hit with your Limit Break.

Round 2

Start the fight by using a Limit Break to one shot the Gi Archer. If you're lucky, the archer will move towards the Gi Lancer and kill them both in one hit, but if it doesn't, simply use Fira to finish off any remaining enemies.

Round 3

Have Moogle Take the Aggression

Summon and dismount your Moogle as soon as possible so that it can draw away the Reapertail and let you cast Blizzard spells safely at a distance. Make sure that you also have Haste active to maximize the amount of spells you cast and use Moogle Mine once it's pressured to stagger it.

Cast Barrier If It Starts Attacking Cait Sith

If ever the Reapertail goes after you instead of the Moogle, cast Barrier and prioritize blocking and dodging its attacks until it's drawn back to the Moogle.

Cast Stop When It is Staggered

Once you stagger the Reapertail, you cast Stop on it to extend the stagger time. From here, you can cast your powerful attacks like Moogle Knuckle.

Round 4

Beware of Toxic Shot and Petrifying Mist

Similar to the last round, have the Moogle distract the Reapertail so that you can safely spam Blizzard spells. Just stay away from its Toxic Shot and Petrifying Mist since you don't have Warding or Cleansing Materias to counteract it.

Cast Blizzara After It Uses Petrifying Mist

Also, make sure to have ATB Charges to cast Blizzara once it uses Petrifying Mist to break its jaw, stopping it from using the attack and pressuring it in the process. Similar to before, once it is staggered you can use Stop to extend the stagger time.

Round 5

Have Moogle Take the Aggression

This fight will go very slowly since you don't have any Synergy Abilities to pressure the Mindflayer. However, as long as you have the Moogle out to distract the boss, there should be no issues in taking it down.

Use Physical Attacks and Moogle Mines for Damage

Do note that since the Mindflayer is resistant to Magic attacks, you'll want to be hitting it with melee attacks and Moogle Mines as your main damage source. Just make sure that you have Manaward or Manawall active in case you fail to block or dodge an attack.

Use Limit Break during Psychotic Break

When you lower its health, it will use Psychotic Break to kill you. You can avoid this attack by using your Limit Break so that you can be immune to damage.
