This is a modded version of FFVII where enemies and bosses have more HP/MP and higher stats. It's not the same as FFVII Hard Core, which is a much harder and more professional mod. Don't ask me for a link to this mod, ever. If you know how the Internet works, you will find it.

Demon's Gate is often considered the hardest boss in the game, but how hard is he in this mod? His attacks deal about 2,5 times as much as they usually do, so he should be a decent challenge. However, the strategy isn't very different from the usual LLNM strategy.

His attack pattern is pretty much series of Rock Drops followed by Cave-in. Rock Drop can be used one to three times, and he also has the ability to use it twice in one turn. Combine this with a critical hit and you have every low level player's nightmare. In addition, he uses Demon Rush when you get his HP below 75%, 50% and 25%, which in this case is 12000, 8000 and 4000, and finally, there's Petrif-Eye, an attack he seems to use completely randomly. He can also open the battle with any attack, and you really want him to open with Demon Rush in this mod.

The strategy isn't too complicated. You must always have Barrier and you must heal whenever you get attacked. Any other turn can be used to attack. This time, however, it takes twice as long to defeat him, thanks to a huge Defense boost and the fact that he's got 16k of HP. That means Demon's Gate has twice as many chances to make your life hell, so it's a lot harder to survive the whole battle.

I was going to allow everyone to survive this battle, but I wanted to at least try to make Aerith the sole survivor. Thankfully, Demon's Gate was in a really good mood this day, as he killed off Cloud and Cait before I could even start to pray. Usually, he attacks Aerith six million times in a row and eventually kills everyone, as I run out of Barrier.
