Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII for PSP Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Boss Guide E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected] Copyright 2008 clarissasy03 ====================================================================================== 1. About this game Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII is somelike a prelude to the original Final Fantasy VII based on the story. In this game, you will play as Zack Fair (originally 2nd Class Soldier who is becoming a 1st Class Soldier once you played in this game) This is a series that has come to be known as the "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. "In Crisis Core, you will play as Zack, one of Shinra's best soldier as he takes part in a mission that changed his life. If you are fan of the original FFVII plot, this game will draw you back to the universe that you are familar with. If you are a newbie to the FFVII universe, this would be a good start to experience the beginning. ======================================================================================= 2. Introduction Hi! This is my first time writting a walkthrough for this game. Just a month ago I just finished this game and I am helping you throughout the Boss. Because I believe many players who have playing this game also have a hard time beating the boss especially the last boss of this game. So, just have a time looking at the walkthrough which I made to guide whenever you challenge a boss. And I almost forgot, the ending is surely great but I will not spoile to anyone else because its for you to find out. So, shall we begin? ======================================================================================= 3. Controls before you start the game ======================================================================================= The overall controls of the game is quite simple: Non-battle situations: *Direction pad, Analog toggle pad = Moves Zack around / Moves cursor when making choices *L / R button = Moves the camera angle around (at times it will be limited to Zack's line of sight) *Triangle button = Opens the Menu screen *Circle button = Confirms a selection on the game screen / Confirms a selection in the menu screens *X button = Deselects/Cancel an option made on the menu screen Battle situations: (This will be educated to you in the beginning of the game) **Direction pad, Analog toggle pad = Moves Zack around the battlefield **L / R button = Toggles and highlights between your command choices from Attack Command -> Materia Command Effects -> Item Command*** (***This will toggle into an item selection where you will use L/R to highlight and item) **Circle button = Select a highlighted command **Triangle button = Guard attacks (Direction is based on where Zack is facing) **Square button = Evade Aiming will be automatic in nature, get close to someone and the auto aim will select that target. During battles, as long as space permits, you can move around the allocated space. The moment you move away and select Zack to attack, he will run up to the target and attack as commanded. The process is automatic. **Start button = Pauses the game in movie cut-scenes, battles etc **Home button = Menu to quit current game application **Volume toggle buttons = Increase or decrease the volume =================================================================== 4. Start of My Walkthrough (If you have a hard time looking for the boss that you are fighting just press CTRL+ F and type the boss name and you can find it already) =================================================================== Opening - The assualt at the train station: Location: Midgar, city area Boss Fight #1: Behemoth What to do: If you have gotten enough practice from defeating the guards at the train station area, this fight should be quite tough for poor Behemoth to live through. Once you begin, run to the back of Behemoth and do a couple of slashes. You will notice that your damage done is critical in nature so use it to your advantage (back-stabbing effect). As he can attack with his tail also, you are best hacking it twice or thrice and do an immediate guard after that. If you get knocked by his tail, you take full damage and also get pushed aside. Guarding keeps damage low and helps hold your position. Once it stops attacking with the tail, repeat the cycle as again. Be on stand by to heal when your HP is low and also pray hard for a DMW move to hit. The damage done will help you end the fight faster. Use this fight to do some practice on hacking and blocking. You'll find that it works wonders even for later stages. ==================================================================== Boss fight #2 A pair of Minotaur-like beasts Estimated HP: 3000+ Geee ... don't they look like something out of Devil May Cry and a "certain" Guardian Force from FFVIII?? What an ugly pair! Be on standby to get slapped around. As always, run for their backs and slash with caution. Slip in the habit of blocking after 2-3 slashes (4 slashes if you feel lucky, punk!), if you are careless, prepare to cure yourself often. Avoid hitting them from the front, best if you can, hit both as much as possible. If you concentrate on one too much, you might be caught and attacked by the other one. ULTIMATE ATTACK: Twin Axe Slash / Solo Axe Slash Both with join forces and execute a cross slash onto you or the one left behind will execute a huge slash on you. The Twin Axe Slash is a pain and if you defeat one, the other can execute a Solo Axe Slash for a slightly lesser damage. Both are painful though. Here's the thing about bosses Ultimate Attack - you get to watch a cool cut scene of the boss handing over your butt with their attack. Note that it is unblockable (99% of the time) and you just take the damage in full. Prepare your cure spells as soon as the animation is over! ===================================================================== Boss Fight #3 Ifrit Estimated HP: 6000+ As Zack will put it the moment he realized it's Ifrit he's facing ... "HOLY CRAP, A SUMMON!" This fight can be a no-brainer if you are used to hacking and blocking. His attacks are generally easy to avoid and block against, whip out your Ice spells on him. ULTIMATE ATTACK: Hellfire! You WILL suffer damage here, but at least the pay-off is to watch a cool CG cutscene. As any FF fan would know, Ifrit executes his trademark Hellfire attack on you. Can be very damaging for a low level Zack. I would recommend that cure yourself fast. He was inflicting damage that was nearly 3/4 of my health bar at that point of time. ==================================================================== Boss fight #4 Spider Mech Estimated HP: 7500-8000 I would say that Lightning works like a charm on it, I would recommend that you stay a short distance away, facing it and spamming your Lightning spell on it. Block all the attacks it throws at you, the mech is able to "STOP" you with it's attacks so watch yourself. Golden rule here: Robots/Mechs = Lightning works best Boss fight #5 Bahamut Estimated HP: 9000+ Dang, the summons really hate you in this game. This is one of the battles that will teach you the importance of patience, you really can't be greedy when trying to fight Bahamut here. When you get close to it, slash twice and BLOCK. It will perform an attack or two once getting hit twice. You might get pushed away but don't worry, clicking Attack will send Zack running to it. Just remember to BLOCK after every 2 slashes (3 if you dare to take a chance) and keep your HP as high as possible at all times ... When it flies off, stay put and block. When it lands, keep your distance as the gale it creates upon landing will do you some harm. When it lands on the isolated platform, use your magic spells (I prefer Fire and Ice spells) to hit it. ULTIMATE ATTACK: Mega-flare Okay, like Ifrit's Hellfire, you get a CG cut scene. It's one of the nicest one in the game and I wish poor Zack didn't have to be at the end of it, taking the Mega-flare! Once you get hit, cure ASAP. It's a pretty damaging attack. Nuff said. ===================================================================== Boss fight #6 Genesis (Clone) Estimated HP: 8500+ He fights in combos and counterattacks, get used to it quick. If you want, block out his moves and attack him once he misses last combo blow is blocked. You should squeeze out a full combo strike on him. Not too hard, just prepare to cure yourself if you get hit by his combos attacks. ===================================================================== Boss fight #7 The Chainsaw Mech, The Rocket Launcher Mech, The Driller Mech Estimated HP: 7500-9000+ Okay, if you had played all sorts of training missions, you might have fought more difficult versions of the Chainsaw and Rocket Launcher Mechs (The mission difficulty should be VERY HARD). If you did, then this is a breeze. Remember, your Lightning spell is a good weapon here and if you can line them up, you can kill all three at one go. Seriously, spamming Lightning spell here works like a charm. The Chainsaw Mech is able to poison you (It blows greenish smoke onto you), so make sure you don't get too close to it. The rest deal mainly physical damage with no effects. When the Rocket Launcher fires it's missiles, I've noticed that running head on to it makes the missiles lose guidance and randomly explode elsewhere. The Driller one is a pain if you don't block it's attacks. I recommend the usual hack twice and block to get around it. Remember: Lightning just rips them apart. I had a flawless victory here! The one and only one! ==================================================================== Boss fight #8 Bahamut RETSU (as mentioned in Wikipedia) Estimated HP: 17000+ Whoa. Think of this a golden version of Bahamut Zero. You will after you see it's ultimate attack. I would advice you to arm yourself with as much HP boosting items or materias as possible. It has a swipe attack the swats you away, a triple fireball (huge ones) blast that goes 3 directions and it's detachable wings will gather together for one united strike on Zack ... Block first and get close to attack, look into curing when you have lost 1/2 your life bar. This can be a drawn out fight, and your additional HP goes into helping survive the following ... ULTIMATE ATTACK: Exa Flare (as mentioned in Wikipedia) It packs a punch. No, a ton of punches. Your HP kept high will help survive this blast, the longer you fight him, the more times you have to deal with this attack. I was hit twice by it, but I came out alive because of my HP. Patience will win out at the end, so keep on blocking. ===================================================================== Boss fight #9 Genesis Estimated HP: above 10000 for sure! He is a pain to fight against here. I would caution that you best hit once and block quick, as you have faced his clone, you would know Genesis has the tendency to counterattack almost once he gets hit. The damage ratio here is that you will be on the losing end most of the time, so hit and run tactics will be your best friend here. I depended mostly on DMW attacks to finish him off. A miracle chain of Sephiroth and Angeal DMW attacks helped tackle him and put him down. If you are not confident in defeating him, use a Phoenix Down. ===================================================================== Boss fight #10 Angeal (Beastial form) Estimated HP: above 20000 for sure! Ouch. This battle will hurt a lot, I recommend you equip a Phoenix Down as soon as you begin the battle. This form will damage you in bulk; you will need to block fast as his attacks are quick and damaging. Here's a nifty hint, his elemental attacks are Lightning based, so you might want to equip an item that protects against that element. At least one headache off would mean better chance of survival. Remember to keep a Phoenix Down used. In the messy battle, you might be killed off too quickly without much effort. I acutally used about 2 to get through the fight. ==================================================================== Boss fight #11 Tank Estimated HP: 25000+ Lightning works here as the tank is like the various mechs you fought; just plain weak against this element. Your best bet is not to stay in front of the tank as it's cannons can pack a punch against you. Keep to the side as the tank moves and keep slashing away. I would recommend that you equip yourself with an item that helps you deal Lightning based damage on your enemies. It does seem to help alot in this battle as everything is mechanical here. The other flying machines that are launched can be irritating also but your attacks should take them down quickly. If all are cleared, the tank relaunches more flying machines. Not a difficult battle, just takes a while to finish it off. ===================================================================== Boss fight #12 Spider Mech Estimated HP: *never kept track* This one is quite easy. You can just hack it a few times and block. If you have equipped yourself with the item that allows your weapon to inflict Lightning based damage, you will can easily end this fight without a struggle. When it uses it's tail to target around, I noticed that running head on to it would make you totally out of sight to the tail when it shoots laser around. ===================================================================== Boss fight #13 SEPHIROTH Estimated HP: Above 40000 for sure! This battle is all about staying calm and attacking when possible. Charging like a mad man will only kill yourself faster, so stay calm and attack fast and block faster. When he warps, just keep blocking. I noticed that when I do hit him when he appears out of a warp, I get hit by a sudden Heartless Angel (yes, you will know it's that INFAMOUS attack once your HP goes to 1 point!!) ... it's a black purple energy ball that silently falls onto you when it is executed. Hit your cure spell at once when your HP is 1! He has a slash blast that pushes you away. It's a blade wave that is fast but very easy to block against. He uses a slash combo that ends with an uppercut. Block all his frontal strikes and keep blocking until he does an uppercut slash. Once he is up and landing, rush over and attack at once. He also has a summon skill; he will summon 4 materias (gem shaped) in 4 colors, Red (which does not get damaged by physical attacks and guards against Fire based attacks), Green (which heals Sephiroth), Yellow (blasts out damaging Lightning attacks) and Blue (have yet to see what it does but usually the first materia to be destroyed out of the 4. My take is when the materias appear, quickly disable the green one as it will cure Sephiroth for quite some HP. Then focus all your attacks onto Sephiroth. You might get zapped by his materias, remember your main focus is only on him and not the materias. ULTIMATE ATTACK: A different variant of the Sephiroth DMW attack It's damaging but not as painful as Heartless Angel. Get yourself cured at once after this move connects, especially if the 4 materias are floating around. ====================================================================== Boss fight #14 Sephiroth Part II Estimated HP: 30000+ Part II of this fight has a instant kill condition for Zack. If Sephiroth forces his way to the end of the path, he kills Zack instantly by tossing him into the Mako pit. (Yes, i died here.) Whatever you do, keep going up to him and attacking. No matter how many times you get pushed back, keep running back and attacking. It's honestly quite a challenge; pray hard your DMW attacks are unleashed to rack up the damage, if not you're gonna have to fight him all over again from #13! His usual attacks (including his Ultimate Attack) other than the 4 materias summon still remains. ====================================================================== Boss fight #15 Genesis soldier (Transformed) Estimated HP: 50000+ Okay, this freak of nature does a heap of damage. Block or dodge all the elemental attacks (a fire based attack and lightning based attack) and throw in a quick attack or two. It's attacks are quite strong and damaging, so don't get too greedy to attack too many times. Even blocking his attacks will mean your life gets drained fast, so keep your cure spell on standby at all times. I managed to squeeze out Aerith's DMW move ... stayed invincible for a good part of the fight and that settled the freak for good. Pays to be lucky at times I guess. ====================================================================== Boss fight #16 Dr.Hollander ~ with Genesis cells Estimated HP: *lost track ~ quite a lot* Thankfully, this one is just a long battle but not a hard one. Dr.Hollander has become a Genesis convert this time, and he's playing hide and seek with you. He has a status attack that messes you up with poison and curse effect. Once you get hit, use a remedy to recover and get back at him. He's hardly attacking back so just keep at him until he falls over and just keep hacking at him. From time to time, he does toss out a potion that renders him "invincible" for a short time. He can also cure himself (if i am not wrong). Dr.Hollander will also toss out a pack of white worms that will also join in the battle. As much as you can, strike them all (worms and Hollander) and keep hacking at them. ULTIMATE ATTACK: Missile-in-my-tiny-bag Shessh. Dr.Hollander stole Felix the Cat's bag ... look at the size of that Shinra missile that he uses for his attack and the size of his bag! It's not as damaging as it looks, but you might not want to be caught off guard by it with low HP and poison status. Drawn out fight but rest assured, this one is not as hard as it seems. ======================================================================= Boss fight #17 Genesis Soldier (Transformed) Estimated HP: Nearly as much as Dr. Hollander or more Here's a nifty trick you can repeat. Equip yourself with the item that protects against Lightning and you're free to hammer this freak without worrying about it's Triple Lightning strike (You'll keep getting GUARD status when it hits you), and like before, it's standard attacks do hurt alot. Best to keep a Phoenix Down used, the real pain comes in the form of it's Ultimate Attack. ULTIMATE ATTACK: Grab+Stab combo Ouch. This attack hurts big time. And it does happen frequently, so watch your distance from it ... and when you're hit, watch your health. I was able to achieve 9999 health with the help of DMW attacks, and this attack wipes a chunk of it off at once. Really recommend you cure ASAP and ensure your Phoenix Down is active also, just in case. ======================================================================= Boss fight #18 Genesis (Ultimate form) Estimated HP: Maximum amount of HP of 99999 Another long fight and a hard one also. Fans of Kingdom Hearts will find this one freakishly familar ... You face off against a HUGE Genesis in a knight's armour. The main focus here is the Sword in his hand which you can only be attacked when it's stabbed to the ground. However, shadow figures will be created and they will attack you. There seem to be 2 variants of these shadows and they each have their own way of attacking you: Shadow with a sword - High HP, high attack damage, quite good defence against your attacks Shadow with a staff - Low HP, magic attack; fireballs & lightning I forgot which one will attack you and also drain your MP off. The sword one also uses Drain attacks to cure themself as they attack you. Be on standby to cure and cure if they gang up on you. Happens very often, especially the ones with swords! The sword can also create a dark blast from the ground against you. Very tiny damage if you block it. This battle will go back and forth with you struggling to make it over to attack the sword. The shadows gang up on you quite frequently, blocking your way to attack the sword. Keep your focus on the sword as much as possible. Pray you active multi-hitting DMW attacks. I was lucky to get a few DMW attacks that targetted the Sword, making my life easier during the fight. ========================================================================= Boss fight #19 Genesis (as himself) Estimated HP: 99999 (Has to be, he's the last one!) This is it. The man himself vs the SOLDIER 1st Class Zack ... unlike the famous one on one clash at the end of FFVII, this one has to be played out and done by you. This battle compared to some of the earlier battles is actually not that hard. You just have to remember, he's able to do all those fancy combo attacks from all the ealier fights you have face him (or his clone). I'm pretty sure you would know when to block him and return him a combo or two! ULTIMATE ATTACK: Apocaplyse Have you ever activated Genesis on you DMW before? This is it, his version of that DMW attack. It packs quite a punch compared to his standard attack moves. Other than that, you're gonna be doing more damage on him with your DMW attacks. Once this battle goes down ... you're done with the game ... kick back and enjoy the ending! ========================================================================= 5.
