Guard Scorpion/Final Fantasy VII

Have Cloud primarily use the Bolt spell repeatedly, as this boss is vulnerable to Lightning elemental damage. It is not adviseable to attack the boss while it has its tail raised in the air, as this will cause it to unleash a devastating counterattack called Tail Laser; however, if the player does trigger the attack, it boosts each character's Limit Gauge quite considerably.

The boss' behaviour is quite predictable; it will first use Search Scope on one of the party members, and it is this party member it will attack next with a standard attack like Rifle or Scorpion's Tail. Keep pummeling the boss with magic or physical attacks, and heal where necessary; in addition, Cloud should use his Braver Limit Break whenever available, and Barrett should also use his Big Shot Limit Break whenever available.

The boss will always drop the Assault Gun, which is an upgrade for Barret.
