Fight with Ifrit

The battle begins with Cinematic Clash Opportunities and Cinematic Evasion. Upon arriving on the battlefield, Bahamut will strike the ground to release a shockwave. You can jump or dodge to avoid being hit. This boss can also make electric attacks with his wings, which you can easily avoid.

After a few attacks, Ifrit will learn Spitflare by pressing R2 + triangle to launch a powerful beam that strikes in a straight line.

Use Spitflare against Bahamut when he starts summoning energy orbs to strike you.

Throughout the fight, Phoenix will help you, but it's Ifrit who will have to  inflict the majority of the damage. You'll then be able to take Bahamut off balance with ease.

Fight with Phoenix

After the first Stagger, you'll have control of Phoenix. A tutorial will appear to explain the controls.

Bahamut uses slashes, energy beams and energy orbs. The megaflash attack cannot be stopped, but normal dodges should work. Move around the screen to dodge the projectiles. After a while, you'll change zones, but this will still continue the fight in the areas.

After Bahamut's second charge, the battle changes location, but Bahamut uses the same techniques. Dodge and concentrate on the spheres. Once they break, you can shoot a vulnerable Bahamut.

Fight with Ifrit

After the scene, you resume the fight with Ifritt. Bahamut starts with the same attacks as the first phase. Fight until Phoenix destroys Bahamut. This is your chance to attack as much as you can.

When Bahamut uses Teraflare, Phoenix will make a protective zone. Enter this protective zone before the attack begins or you'll lose the fight. This leads to Cinematic Clash Opportunities that you must win before resuming the fight with Bahamut.

At this point, Bahamut shouldn't have many hit points left. Eliminate him to obtain 1,740 EXP, 100 ability points, 2,500 gils, 50 Sharp Fangs and 5 Meteorites.

The biggest challenge in this fight is to get to grips with Ifrit in aerial combat. Use Lightspeedto get closer to Bahamut and use aerial claw attacks. 

After Staggering Bahamut, you can start using Backdraft Finish to inflict heavy damage.

After the first Stagger, you'll need to perform an intense Cinematic Evasion. Continue dodging the beam and perform a few quick claw combos.

After the second Stagger, Bahamut will use an attack that summons a large number of frontal fire rays that will be impossible to dodge.

When Bahamut prepares  Teraflare, you must quickly empty the purple gauge before the attack ends.
