Are you having problems in the boss fight against Scarlet and her fighting machine Crimson Fox Deluxe in “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth”? In our guide we give you some tips so that you can kill the boss.
Warning, massive spoilers follow: To villain Sephiroth in „Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth“ To be able to stop them, you first have to remove various obstacles. Of course, this also includes all sorts of powerful bosses. One of these awaits you in Chapter 9 in the form of Karmesinfuchs Deluxe or Crimson Mare Mk. II and this one demands significantly more from you than the last bosses in the action RPG hit.
If you have played the Yuffie DLC “INTERmission”, this boss enemy should look familiar to you. In “Rebirth” you fight against an improved version of the fighting machine. As in the story expansion, villain Scarlet is once again behind the wheel. We'll give you a few tips to help you disassemble her and her new toy.
Lightning is your friend
You fight this boss fight with Aerith, Tifa and Yuffie. However, our melee specialist is of little use in some phases of the fight, as Scarlet and her Crimson Fox Deluxe occasionally leave the arena and attack you from a distance. During these moments, take control of Aerith or Yuffie as they can continue to deal damage to the boss. Lightning elemental attacks are particularly useful in this fight.
Ideally, each of your three queens can use such attacks. Since you always need Aerith and Yuffie for long-range combat, it is definitely worth considering temporarily using Tifa as a healer for this fight. Of course, this isn't a must for this Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth boss fight, but it will allow you to concentrate more on going on the offensive with your other two heroines.
Common: Scarlets Crimson Mare Mk. II can separate its arms from its body and send them spinning around the arena. This means their attacks have an enormous range. She will switch arms a total of two times during the fight, so you should stay on your guard throughout. So with each new pair of arms the dynamic of the duel changes, but if you destroy the arms you can make your life much easier.
First of all, the “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth” boss primarily uses melee attacks. With the second pair of arms, your opponent uses more long-range combat. In the final third phase of the fight, the combat robot has large balls on its arms that do a lot of damage. Continue to focus primarily on the arms to destroy them. As soon as the boss is in a state of shock, you can unleash your powerful limit and team attacks!
Finally, a little tip: In the last phase, the arms are not sensitive to lightning elemental attacks! So you can use your normal attacks to slowly bring Scarlet and her Crimson Fox Deluxe to their metal knees. In this way you can slowly but surely secure victory against this boss opponent, little by little.
