For the first time ever on my channel, I present to you a boss named Godo. I've uploaded nearly 500 FFVII videos over the years, but none of them have featured this boss. I guess it's about damn time, because this battle can be pretty intense.

Godo has got some pretty nasty attacks. Trine can almost OHKO you unless you have Big Guard, and Demi3 will leave you with very little HP. He's also got 1000 MP, so you can't drain his MP easily to prevent these attacks. He's also got the ability to put you to sleep, which can be very nasty if it happens at the wrong time. Once below 4000 HP, he will counter with Cure2, but if you have 20% or less HP, he will use it on you! I didn't know this until I read about his AI after the battle was over, so I couldn't take advantage of it. Unlike all mandatory bosses, he's not immune to Gravity, but using Laser would have been too cheap.

The big choice before this battle is Sadness or Fury. Sadness makes you take 30% less damage, but it also takes four times more damage to get a limit break, meaning you might have a hard time healing if you're left on low HP. However, you're gonna have to keep your HP a lot higher at all times with Fury, because Trine will deal 500 damage even through Big Guard. I decided Sadness was better.

The strategy is to poison him and do your best to stay alive. This strategy works well if you don't screw up and it's not really luck reliant. The only luck reliant part is that you need to avoid bad luck. Not quite as tough as Shake, but still one of the hardest battles in this challenge. Yuffie's level is at 21 and that's the lowest possible for this battle.

LL = Low Level
NI = No Items
IE = Initial Equipment
NA = No Accessories
CMO = Command Materia Only
