How to Beat Pride and Joy Prototype in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (FF7R)
Go around it and attack from behind
Almost all of Pride and Joy Prototype’s attacks hit directly in front of it. If you’re able to sneak behind it, you’ll be able to attack it almost without resistance. Its movements speed and turning speed are extremely slow, so you’ll be able to keep this up by simply continuing to attack for a while.
When it raises its arms, run away
When Pride and Joy Prototype raises its arms, it will attack the whole area surrounding itself, so you won’t be safe behind it. It’s best to dodge out of the way when you see its arms raise, and move back after. That said, the attack it executes doesn’t deal a huge amount of damage, so simply blocking and absorbing the blow is another viable option.
Move to the side and away from its Beam Cannon
Its Beam Cannon attack will deal as much as 6,000 damage even when Blocked, so be sure to move away to the side and avoid this attack instead. Moving to the side should be enough to get you out of the way of the blast, but because it will take a long time preparing the attack, take the opportunity to move behind it and continue attacking.
Don’t try to fight when the flames come out
Pride and Joy Prototpye will cover the floor with a red aura and cause flames to burst up from the floor. Moving onto these flames will deal about 800 damage a second, and will eat up your character’s HP in a flash. When this occurs, instead of using melee attacks, fall back and attack with Lightning Magic instead.
