Rufus Shinra and Darkside

For those who have not yet played the original Final Fantasy 7 game, YES. RUFUS SHINRA WILL CHALLENGE YOU! The Shinra President will later on challenge you within the game on the very roof of the Shinra building at the end of Chapter 17.

Rufus tries to unleash his dog Darkstar on you, so technically you are actually fighting two on one. In order to achieve this, keep interacting with Darkstar when the war finally begins. In order to beat Darkstar and Rufus Shinra, there are a few steps to follow.

The first thing to keep in mind is to use the Punisher counter against the Whirlwhip in order for you to quickly kill the hound. This then puts pressure on Darkstar which allows you to take a few hits inside! Wait, do not forget to watch out for attacks by Rufus since he will be collaborating with Darkstar.

You can actually start out on Rufus once you have taken care of Darkstar and although he can counter most of your attacks, he still has one major weakness which you should always watch out for, when Darkstar reloads his eapon!

You have to then stop each one of his assaults on Weapons Akimbo and dodge his very own Bright Lights before you will be able to find the opening. Once it reloads, you will see a large red sign above Rufus' ear which should be an indication that you should attack!
