Three simple battles that must be passed before we can move on to more serious stuff.

I decided to fight Snow because why the hell not. She's only got ice elemental attacks and one that causes confusion, so this battle is impossible to lose with the right setup. I had Tifa spank her with the Powersoul for maximum damage.

The Icicle is the toughest battle here. The Evilheads are extremely dangerous and need to be taken care of immediately. This can be done in two ways. Either with Finishing Touch or with Beast Flare. Finishing Touch is not guaranteed to take out everyone because Evilheads have a 1/4 chance of having 255 Def% every turn. Beast Flare will take out everyone, but it's only got a 30% chance of being used. In other words, this is luck reliant either way, but you can still manage if you take out only three. Even two with some luck. Vincent is equipped with a Circlet in this battle. Icicle Drop is a 50% counter attack and it's not ice elemental.

Schizo is too powerful for a level 1 party, so just get equipped with anything that will make him harmless, hammer away his MP and steal that Protect Ring. You need someone with Lightning protection to be alive when you kill him, but that's all the strategy you need. I decided to have a guest appearance in this battle since it's not a serious battle anyway.

This is the regular version of FFVII and Hardcore is only the name of the challenge. Rules:

- No Damage Dealing Items
