Phantom ×1 Ghost ×1 |
One of the harder fights in this challenge. It is best to focus on the Ghost right away. Use Focused Thurst and Fire spells to take him our quick. Watch out for any buffs it casts on itself by keeping an eye its health bar for an icon. If you keep hiting it with Physical Attacks it will give itself Shield to nullify them and will do the same for Magic Attacks if hit with them instead.
The Phantom can take a while to beat as it has more health and disappears a short while after attacking. Use Fire to get it to cast Reflect. This will give you the chance to use Breach. Make sure to time it so that it does not disappear as you cast it!
Enemies |

Elite Shock Trooper ×1 Elite Helitrooper × 1 |
It only takes a few Fire spells to take him out. This will let you focus on the Elite Shock Trooper. You can now focus on the Elite Shock Trooper without interferance. Stagger the Elite Shock Trooper with Punisher Auto-Counter or Counterstance then dish out the damage.
Enemies |

Grungy Bandit ×1 3-C SOLDIER Operator ×1 |
Focus on the 3-C SOLDIER Operator and just dodge the Grungy Bandit. It is easier to dodge the Grungy Bandit's attacks and focus down the SOLDIER. Use Physical Attacks to pressure the SOLDIER and Focused Thrust to put him into Stagger. Fire Spells are effective against both of them. Use them to finish them off after Staggering.
Enemies |
---|
Hellhound ×1 Zenene ×1 |
Zenene has less health than the Hellhound so focus it down first. Zenene has poison attacks so watch out for any of your party members getting poisoned. Use Poisona as soon as you can as it can deal a lot of damage over time. Having Elemental materia Lv. 2 or higher bounded with Fire materia in your armor can let you ignore Hellhound more easily.
When it is time to focus Hellhound, use Ice spells when it has its red flames to put it into pressure state then Focused Thrust to build stagger meter fast. It might be hard to hit your Ice spells as it moves a lot, so use Cure on it first to stop it in its tracks.
Enemies |
---|
Sweeper ×1 Queen Grashtrike ×1 |
You will want to defeat Queen Grashtrike as fast as possible. She can bind one of your party members and can also slow your party. Its the last fight so you can go all out with your spells, especially against the Queen Grastrike. The Sweeper by itself is a fairly simple fight. If you have Lightning materia equipped you can make it easier with Thunder Spells.
