Farming Limit Break for High Level Character/After Defeating Sephiroth
Introduction
- Weeks ago , I was thinking about how can I get all the limit break achievements after defeating Sephiroth without starting new game. I did some researches but only found farming guide for mid game because after you get your party to Lv.99 , you may find that the enemies are too weak to fill up the limit break gauge. So I tried my own methods and found the best and quick way to farm limit break for your unused characters.
Item Requirements
Things that you're going to need
UPDATED 5/5/2020 ;
- Fixed typo.
- Added Pre-Emptive as optional materia in Materias section.
- Added Ribbon in Items section.
- HP<>MP ; Very important , the lower your HP , the more faster your limit break gauge fill up.
- MP Plus ; You need to maxed out your character's MP to 999. So after equipping HP<>MP , your character HP will be 999. No need to care about MP.
- Slash-All or Mega All ; Unlocking the new limit breaks requires you to kill certain number of enemies. The quickest way is to use Slash-All.
- Manipulate ; I guess you know what it is for.
- Enemy Lure (Optional) ; Well , you encounter your enemy faster. Equip this to any character.
- Pre-Emptive (Optional) ; You get to sneak attack on your enemies! which make it faster!
Items :
- Hyper ; Cause Fury effect on your character , lower your attack but doubles the rate the limit gauge fills. Remember to use Hyper before going on a fight. The effect stay on until you use Tranquilizer. Both items can be bought in shops around the world.
- X-Potion ; Heal up your character after a fight. You can use W-Item glitch to farm X-Potion.
- Ribbon ; Some enemies can cause Sleep effect , equip Ribbon for less annoying problem.

Farming : Defeating Enemies Part
You have to defeat certain number of enemies to get a new limit break. Some of them required you to defeat 80+ enemies. This may take some times to unlock. Follow my method for the fastest way.
1. Equip Slash-All or Mega All materia to the character that you want to farm. Visit Mideel Area as shown in pic and walk around in the jungle until you encounter enemy.*Extra Tip : Make sure your character wear Ribbon since the some of the enemies can cause Sleep effect.
- Repeat Step 1,2 until the new limit break unlock.
Farming : Use Limit Break X times
- Equip HP<>MP , MP Plus materia and use Hyper on the character that you want to farm. Equip Manipulate materia on OTHERS character.
- Do not use 1000 Needles since it'll deal the exact 1000 damage and kill your character.
- Do not let your farming character die or you will lose the limit gauge progress. Use X-Potion to heal up.
- Make sure to take off Cover and Counter Attack materia from others characters.
- Kill Cactuar using the limit break , repeat step 1 - 4 until the new limit break is unlocked.
Questions
*Your achievement will unlock when you put the Lv.4 limit break on the character.
- Q : Why don't you go to Battle Square , use Limit Break and then Mime it?
A : Interesting method but it didn't work (Well , I actually tried this and thought I was absolute genius). Unlocking the limit break need battle summary screen which after battle at Battle Square doesn't show it up. - Q : I spin Tifa's Limit slot but it land on 'Miss' , will the game count?
A : Yes , the game will count as you 'use the limit' but Tifa just doesn't perform that move. - Q : I miss Aerith's final limit break , how do I unlock the achievement?
A : Starting new game will be the only way. Unless you use a cheat or something.
