Attack from Afar with Wind or Ranged Attacks During Supercharged

Use Aerith to cast Wind spells (preferably Aeroga) or use Cloud's ranged attack by using the circle button to dodge and then pressing Square to do a ranged attack. Supercharged is a state where Hueyacoatl will continually emit electricity and you will get stunned if you get hit by it.

Get Away from Hueyacoatl When it Uses Thunderbolt

Once you see the Thunderbolt prompt, immediately get away as far as possible as Hueyacoatl will slam itself into the ground while emitting electricity, possibly stunning your character.

Use Tifa's Reverse Gale to Bring Down Hueyacoatl

Reverse Gale is an ability that can launch an enemy or knock down an enemy into the ground with wind-aspected attacks. This will be your main source of knocking down Hueyacoatl as it always flies during the battle.

Unlocked through Sylph Gloves

The Reverse Gale ability can be learned by equipping the Sylph Gloves and mastering its weapon ability. You can then use Reverse Gale without equipping the weapon after mastering it.
