GarlandTheGreat | FF7 (First Reactor Boss Rush) Ep. 9 - Bottomswell @GarlandTheGreat | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Before we finish the challenge, there's some unfinished business we need to take care of. The Strahl skipped this battle because it kept glitching out on him, but there's a way around it. The problem occurs when you get to the Waterpolo phase. After a character gets trapped and you free them, they may be unable to act for the rest of the battle. Normally, you can avoid waterpolos by fighting the battle solo, but I think the game gets confused by there only being two party members available, so that doesn't work here. Reno had the same issue with the pyramids.
The solution is to skip that phase completely, which can only be done by dealing a lot of damage in one turn. Bottomswell has 2500 HP and this phase can be triggered before you deal 1000 damage. Thankfully, the level 3 limit breaks will take care of that.

You can protect against most of his attacks and get healed by Trine and Demi3, but he uses Beast Sword most frequently, so it can still get a little interesting. Below 40% HP, he will heal himself every turn, but hes got a 50% chance of healing Yuffie if her HP is below 20%.

Yuffie is banned from this challenge because of her much higher level, but Ill let her do these battles. Shes got the Crystal Cross, Gigas Armlet and Cursed Ring, as well as the still level 4 Counter Attack, Elemental=Gravity in the armor and Added Effect linked to Bio and Time in the weapon.
Gorki (0:00) is not a problem, since you can get healed by Demi2.
Shake (0:56) is dangerous because of the Rage Bomber counter, so Stop is a must here.
Chekov (1:36) is nothing to worry about.
Staniv (2:14) can be a little dangerous, but I let him have the first attack, otherwise that limit break would have dealt over 3000 damage. These battles act as pre-emptive battles even though it doesnt look like it.
Godo will get his own video.
