The release of the Final Fantasy VII Remake demo a few days ago gave players a clearer view of this upcoming blockbuster, most specifically the gameplay changes to a combination of action and turn-based tactics. Clear them as quickly as possible and attach the Shuriken to the Gigantipede's head or tail to defeat it as quickly as possible.The demo revealed a huge shortcoming of Final Fantasy VII Remake, the catastrophic camera system that can ruin the whole game. Dash from one drone to another when they are about to fire missiles. With Sonon's help, continuously destroy drones and prevent their missiles by alternating between long-range Shuriken attacks and melee combos. Once you have destroyed the first batch of drones, it will release another group, while accelerating the drill on its head, damaging you instead if you attempt to strike the head in melee.

It will then proceed to launch all attacks simultaneously - remaining on the platform, the Gigantipede will release a frenzy of Containment drones, followed up with rapid fire attacks and tail whips. Run and dodge away right when you notice this cue to evade the large AOE damage when it lands.Ĭombined Attacks: When the Gigantipede's health depletes to approximately one-third, a cutscene will play, featuring the detachment of its helmet, revealing a large drill that composes its head. The camera will zoom into the Gigantipede launching and clamping its tail to the railings above you before it performs the leap. Leap Attack: Once you have cleared most of the Containment Drones, the Gigantipede will perform a high damage leap attack by attaching its tail onto railings above the arena and swinging itself back onto the platform. Since a certain amount of damage is unavoidable, quickly heal using Spells or health potions after clearing the drones. These persistent drones are highly impairing, relentlessly firing frenzies of tracking missiles at you. As these missiles are near impossible to evade, the best counter is to eliminate these drones as quickly as possible. Equipped with containment lasers, these drones can trace and fire numerous tracking missiles at you in unison.Ĭontainment drones are launched in groups of 5 - 6 units. From there it will launch multiple Containment Drones to surround you. The Gigantipede's post-attack head whip is executed by dragging its upper body horizontally towards you at medium speed, making it fairly easy to avoid with a timely dodge.ĭrone Deployment: After taking considerable amount of damage, the Gigantipede will retreat from the platform and climb up the wall on the side, maintaining distance. Ocassionally, it will perform a head whip (similar to the tail whip) to the side towards you after missing the smash attack.Ĭumbersome and slow, Yuffie shall never be affected by this attack so long as you maintain distance or dodge away to the side when noticing the Gigantipede gradually lifting its upper body to prepare for this strike. Quickly run towards its body or head into melee range when you notice it prepare for this attack to avoid being hit.īody Blow: As it approaches you from the front, the Gigantipede will attempt to lift its upper body before smashing it down onto the ground to deal heavy melee damage. The Gigantipede will lift its tail slightly up and back, before extending and swinging it horizontally towards you. Tail Swat/Head Swat: After walking past you, the Gigantipede will perform a large area tail whip to knockdown foes and deal heavy damage covering a large area. Dodging to the sides can also evade these relatively weak gunshots. You may either choose to follow the head with melee attacks to avoid being targeted by the guns altogether, or maintain distance and attack at long range.

These short-ranged gun fire attacks can be easily avoided as they are fairly inaccurate. Rapid Fire: The Gigantipede will proceed to march towards and past you, continuously firing with the machine guns equipped on the sides of its body.
