Final Fantasy VII Emerald Weapon No EXP No Sources No Materia (NEXPNM) Challenge Part 1/2

Frustratingly luck relying, requiring not only complete understanding of Emerald Weapon's AI but also entire knowledge of all available characters' Limit Breaks and in addition thereto immaculate battle precision.

This is easily one of the hardest battle challenges in FFVII. Unfortunately, it is simultaneously one of the longer ones, however, fortunately, as soon as both blue-colored eyes have been incapacitated, victory is certain and merely temporarily halted unless one is to commit a single mistake, which will, with a probabilty verging on certainty, guarantee one's demise. The most obvious mistake is to target Emerald Weapon's main body, while at least one of his eyes is present, with any command other than the Limit command. Even though Emerald Weapon's Revenge Stamp, which he deploys as long as not all of his eyes are absent, to counter any action hitting him except for Limit Breaks and any Bahamut summon, is dodgeable as is his Foot Stamp attack, it is rare enough to eventually evade the latter with all of one's characters with the result that it is utterly advisable to minimize all remaining risks by not provoking Revenge Stamps at all.
*Note that it is strictly necessary (and I am aware that the title is therefore not perfectly accurate) to equip the Underwater materia for it is evidently impossible to defeat Emerald Weapon in less than twenty minutes in a NOEXPNOMATERIA challenge without resorting to Cait Sith's Game Over.

du lässt das vieh echt leicht aussehen... muss caith sith tot sein oder war der nur unnötig?

[NEroNeRoNerON]

@ChaosN Nein, Cait Sith ist bloß nur wenig hilfreich. Da ich, wenn mind. ein Auge aktiv ist, nur mit Limits angreifen kann und Cait keine verlässlichen Limits hat, die nur ein Ziel treffen, ganz zu schweigen davon, dass ich alles andere als gut darin bin, überhaupt mit Cait's Slots umzugehen, ist er ab dem Tod beider blauen Augen eigentlich nutzlos. Außerdem ist er mit der Unterwasseratmen-Substanz ausgerüstet und würde dadurch (fast) jeden 2. Zug durch Aire Tam Storm sterben.

Wow. Diese Challenge hat es in sich. Und du schaffst es auf einen überraschend einfachen Weg. Gute Arbeit!

[NEroNeRoNerON]

@TheParagonify Danke sehr. Mir scheint dies der einzige Weg zu sein. Fällt dir denn ein anderer ein?

[TheParagonify]

@NEroNeRoNerON Nein =)
