Final Fantasy VII BONUS part 19+ [Fighting the Midgar Zolom]
Hey guys. Changing the mic setting mid LP just isn't worth it. The new mic volume is so quiet and to compensate I have to lower the game volume. Then I have to adjust all the sound upward in Sony Vegas so it matches the rest of the LP. Too complicated to do considering all I want to do is play the game and provide what I hope is fun, nostalgic, and useful commentary at the moment. Maybe in the next LP ;).
Anyways, at your request, here is me fighting the Midgar Zolom. I probably could have won by toxic stalling him and not attacking as you don't get hit by Beta that way (attacking him in critical triggers that counterattack), but if I didn't learn the Beta skill than fighting him was a waste. Cloud was meant to Cross Slash him for the KO after he attacked with Beta since Limit Breaks have priority over all commands in the battle.
Ideal settings: Move everyone to the back row so the snake doesn't cause 400+ damage to them with a regular attack
Cloud: Pair Elemental and Fire into his armor to reduce fire magic damage. I don't know if he got a crit at the end, but I wasn't expecting Beta to hurt that bad still. If you have any spirit boosting items, give it to him as that raises his magic defense as well. Oh yeah, and give him the enemy skill materia so he learns the Beta skill if he survives it (I think he has to live to learn it, but I didn't check and in retrospect that was pretty fail on my part)
Tifa: Have her get knocked out so Cloud doesn't. Just spam weak attacks at the Midgar Zolom till he knocks her out. She's bait
Aeris: Heal and sense the Midgar Zolom and cast Bio till you poison it.
That's it! Ideally you'd be around level 18, but training is no fun :P
That snake is freakishly strong though. Someone check him for steroid use or something
