You can solo almost anything in the entire game on hard with Aerith alone. A solid begin strategy would speed running the hardest test like arena bosses or any big climax with a 3 man party is drop Aerith in back with arcane ward all stuff needed to barrier and remove status, put carbuncle on her if you have it and heal in start. Cloud is your damage output unless it’s a fight he can’t be like leviathan. Put out as much atb building as possible always using the skill for his final weapon out of reflex. Have Tifa double buffed and use her various damage moves around cloud. Use clouds force move. ABSOLUTELY HNLOAD WITH TIFAS GODDESNESS LIKE GETTING DOUBLE CAST OF TIER 2 magic over and over with Aerith.

If health gets bad use carbuncle without him Aerith should forget anymore damage output and heal and soul source for my. Refocus Tifa and unload with her and cloud, this won’t fly on various types like flyers or two man bosses like hell house which imo is the single most ridiculous boss on hard if you don’t do the take 25 min strategy

Oh and if yoi can elemental TIfas paired slot with the weak element omfg

3 maxed chakra and 1 or more maxed prayer must be had before even thinking you can do any of this. Same with most of chadly the huge dick robo helpers materia

Yeah it it’s an almost legitimate completely different game in one. Two in one I mean. You will die at the scorpion if your normal play through never bothered with mechanics lol.

Meh I’d say hard way more than makes up the sewer lab and maybe a few small more bits of it. You carry over stuff so side quest which are all shite can be foregone. It just depends the type of gamer you are. Normal feeds you items soooooo much and nonstop with benches in 10 foot increments. You have to play wayyy smarter. Blocking and rolling. Chakra and prayer. Use Aerith mp return ability, plus weapons that siphon you likely skipped. Barret is viable if you’re struggling with lifeline and steel skin. Mana wall and barriers plus poison and other debuffs are way more. Becoming a master at clouds last weapons special move is the most important first step so you can use harder edge in operator and counter+ one of chadleys purples gives a light version.


To be fair and forthright I had carbuncle from collectors version. It will be much harder if you don’t.

Eligor on hard took me 2-4 days since Tifa is rendered non present 90% of the fight, Aerith casts often miss, so cloud has to manually hunt down the wheels and air combat isn’t the best

i hated that fight so much omg. so annoying



Tifa was by far the most fun character to control when I was playing

Tifa is the bar far the 1 of 4 that must be played to optimization if you wanna succeed in what I laid out here. Cloud can more or less be ducking around some and just pull of the right thing at right time

Wow I’m sure many others have managed this I just dpsed Lavatheon dead before he could enter 1 tidal wave very may have been a glitch. Unless barret got crits on all auto and special for like 50 seconds straight lol
