Unlike in the regular game, Bizarro's Core heals his torso fully whenever Enegy (no typpo) is used. And with over 300k loaded into the torso, that means you have to fight him 'properly' by killing the two 'Magics' (arms) in order to remove the Core's invincibility.
In order to survive that long, though, evasion is needed as Bizarro's 'shock' attack will eventually wear your party's Final Attack down. It hits everyone and has a high chance to land a critical, which will knock you flat on your ass. This attack is what caused me so much trouble in my regular playthrough, as once all of Bizarro's limbs and Core are destroyed, he's left with Shock as his sole attack...
So, prior to this fight I went back through Jenova again so that Red XIII could start with his Lv.1 Limit filled for Lunatic High, which due to a bug grants him all the Def% enhancing bonuses instead of his teammates. It caps at a 100% increase but leaves him with enough evasion to regularly dodge Bizarro's Shock attack. Everyone also has their Mystile equipped, with Cait Sith playing his Luck stat rather than Dexterity for a little extra evasion chance.
And I'll say no more.
This here vid concludes the Lv.1 Hardcore mod challenge; when I started it I had a vague plan for getting past Jenova-BIRTH using Shrapnel dropped by Special Combatants in Reactor No.5 but the rest was unknown territory. I basically wanted to see how far I could get before I hit the wall. Never would have imagined I'd get past Demon's Gate, let alone reach the Final Descent.
As for what to do from here, I'm not 100% sure. Been scouting around and got a few potential projects lined up; can't pick between 'em though. Or maybe some other FF7 hard-type mod will rear it's indomitable head. Who knows.
But yeah, that's all there's left to say about that; thanks for watching, and I'll see you next game!
