Removing AI Cores cuts down on the Airbuster's movement speed and ability to use stun attacks; removing Big Bomber shells takes away the boss's ability to use big, massively damaging explosives; and removing M units gives you random items you can retrieve ahead of the fight--although it doesn't hamper the Airbuster's effectiveness. Defeat the Failed Experiment; Chapter 14.

If the boss pulls ahead, reduce your speed a bit to avoid the electric bombs it drops on the highway ahead of you. When it readies its flame spin move after being staggered, brake and stay clear until it's all over. After completing the story in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, you’ll unlock Hard Mode.It lives up to the name, because Hard Mode locks your party out of items, auto-regeneration, and bench healing. Shiva will also summon a bunch of ice crystals to shoot at you in a group.

After you hit them hard enough, the Airbuster will pull the arms back to its main body. After countering, hit Sephiroth with some Punisher mode strikes to pressure him. Dodge away and hide behind the cargo container in the room until it's destroyed. Run away from the mines and either nail them with magic spells or cut in close and slice them out of the air, but be sure you don't attack them when they're charged with electricity or you'll get zapped. You need to hit him at a particular moment: when he reloads.

Maintain a defensive posture with Punisher Mode and keep wailing on Roche with that trusty counter. The same is true of the boss's improved Mako Expulsion attack, which he'll now fire in a stream like a hose in one direction, but with a lot more damage.Though the boss has some big area attacks, it mostly will come after you at fairly close range, so do your best to stay away from it and keep your team healthy. With Tifa on the upper level, use Chi Traps and Starshower attacks to quickly clear out the smaller enemies. You'll also want to be wary of the Wind of Gehenna attack--heal whoever gets pulled into it, or risk them getting knocked out in one big hit.Go to town on the wheels while keeping your team healthy, and you should eventually stagger Eligor and finish it off. Keep up the pressure with everything you have left and take him down.Bahamut is one of the toughest bosses in the game--it's fast and aggressive, with a number of powerful abilities that hit very, very hard. Do your best to keep your team topped up on health from items and spells so that the attack doesn't wipe you out.If you can keep up the damage, you should be able to knock Bahamut to the ground and pressure it. Stick with primarily physical attacks; HO512 doesn't have any magical weaknesses, so while you can use spells if you like there's no specific benefit to doing so unless you need to keep your distance.After you do some damage, HO512 will suck up mako from a nearby tank, energizing it and producing a new, more dangerous batch of minion enemies.
That should put him on one knee; close the gap quickly and rip him apart with more Punisher Mode attacks.

When Sephiroth readies it, run for it.By that point, however, Sephiroth should be close to finished. These early fights with Unknown Entities are a good opportunity to apply buffs like Regen and charge Tifa's ki. You can spend most of or all of this fight as Barret, picking away at the robot and dodging attacks.
None are particularly dangerous as long as you move to avoid them. Deadly Dodge is an excellent way to open up on him after staying back for a moment.Aerith will be completely ignored by Rude, giving you a chance to use her to dump spells on the boss. Aerith's regular attacks can help maintain damage when this happens, but you'll probably want to use Pray and Healing Wind to top off your party's HP while you're not in direct danger. New Hard Mode exclusive battles will also be unlocked at the Shinra Combat Simulator after beating the game! You've gotten so much wrong. It'll also fire its Tankbuster laser while rotating, covering more ground, so when you see it readying that attack, run for it.As the Airbuster's health drops, just keep pounding away with Lightning spells to pressure it. Building Bahamut's stagger meter should be your primary focus throughout the fight and guide all your loadout and attack decisions.Your battle strategy is to block the big attacks from Bahamut, while closing in and constantly wailing on him with anything that can drive up his stagger meter. You'll see the floor turn purple around the tentacles as you destroy them, indicating that acid will drop on you from the ceiling, so keep moving to get clear. Like past one-on-one battles, this is more of a sword duel and you'll need to rely on guarding and using Punisher counterattacks to beat Sephiroth, especially in the first part of the fight.Some of Sephiroth's attacks you should guard against for counterattacks to damage Sephiroth and increase his stagger, while you'll need to dodge others. If you're paying attention, you can find as many as six Reactor 5 keycards as you move through the labs ahead of the fight with the Airbuster.
