Rules of the challenge (beginning once you reach the world map):
No materia except Enemy Skill
No attacks/limits
No items
No non-mandatory inns
Initial Armor
Start the challenge at level 15
You can't use ???? in random encounters
Since the Wutai sidequest is impossible in this challenge, you have to fight the Turks in Midgar. Yes, I know there's a bug where you can skip the cutscene if you walk very carefully, but that's the lame way out.
Their attacks really hurt (especially Rude's) and there's no access to Sadness, so this is a rough battle. Magic Breath is no good because they will all absorb it. Reno has the lowest health (25000) and the lowest magic defense, so he's the one to kill.
This battle couldn't have really gone much better. Yuffie and Cid both have their best weapons (in Cid's case, the Spirit Lance gives 1 more magic, but it's not worth fighting the Turks in the Gelnika to get it), so they're the ones to use. The Curse Ring boosts Yuffie's magic to around 140.
Cloud: Heaven's Cloud, Bronze Bangle, Ribbon
Yuffie: Conformer, Carbon Bangle, Curse Ring
Cid: Venus Gospel, Gold Armlet, Ribbon
