This is a nerve wrecking battle, and it's unlike any other Carry Armor battle you've ever seen.

You must avoid Lapis Laser at the start, but after that it's a blessing every time it's used. You need 1700 HP to survive it and Cait is the only one who can have that much and still be able to take a couple of regular hits. That means Sadness for Cloud and Cid, so they need to take four times as much damage to fill up their limit bars, but two Lapis Lasers will be more than enough.

The worst thing that can happen in this battle is him NOT using Lapis Laser and instead go on a rampage with his physical attack. Cait is the most vulnerable since he doesn't have Sadness, and it doesn't take more than a critical hit while not defending to send his HP to the danger zone. That's why it's  blessing every time you see that lovely laser. Thankfully, the chance of him using it increases as you deal more damage to him. It works like this:

24000-18000 HP: 1/4 chance
17999-12000 HP: 1/3 chance
11999-6000 HP: 1/2 chance
Under 6000 HP: 1/1 chance

You also have to use Dynamite in the beginning of the battle, as it reduces the Arm Grab chance to 1/128 per turn. In other words, it's somewhat luck reliant, but hey, it's Carry Armor. He's always somewhat luck reliant, and I've seen far worse than this *cough* LLNMNI *cough*. Everyone must be alive for the following battles, but the battle plan has been worked out and I'm happy to inform that everyone gets to the bottom of the crater on level 29.

Difficulty: 8/10

Challenge rules:

- The main rule is that you may only ever use Limit Breaks to deal damage and heal in battle. The only other commands you can use are Defend and Change.

- Hypers can be used outside of battle to inflict Fury. Otherwise, you have to overlevel like crazy in Midgar and the challenge will get too easy once you get access to Fury from enemies on the world map. All other items are banned, but they can be sold.

- Materia can be equipped for support, but anything that violates the main rule is banned, like Counter and Sneak Attack combos. You can not use Materia to heal and revive outside battle. Cover is allowed.

- The Fury Ring is banned because it inflicts Berserk. You also have to avoid getting hit with Berserk and Confusion in battle, as it will result in violations of the main rule.
