Rules (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
No Accessories
No ???? (except for Jerseys and Demon's Gate)
No Goblin Punch
Overleveled much, yes? It looks like it now, but when I get around to Schizo and have to fight him with no elemental protection, I'll need all that health.
In case you didn't see the explanation in the last challenge, this is the best spot to grind as much as possible. There are two heals you can take advantage of: the one when you sleep at Bone Village to find the Lunar Harp, and the one when you sleep at the Forgotten Capital to unlock the way to Jenova Life. For the first heal, you can fight the Battery Caps in the Nibel forest, and for the second you can fight the enemies in the Corral Valley. Setting the ATB to Wait is highly recommended for this part.
As for the fight itself, Cloud uses Trine to conserve MP (Jenova Life will die on the same turn regardless of whether I have him use Trine or Beta). The goal here is to have Cloud keep as much HP as possible.
Cloud: Yoshiyuki, Bronze Bangle
Red XIII: Silver Barrette, Mythril Armlet
Yuffie: Pinwheel, Carbon Bangle
