Final Fantasy VII Hints
Any tips for beating Rude?
1 of 3: Use physical attacks to kill the soliders first, to get them out of your way so they don't attack you while you're trying to attack Rude. Then, go after Rude of the Turks. But, if you don't like that advice, it may interest you to know that if you kill Rude before finishing off the guards, you'll automatically win the battle.
2 of 3: Use Summon Materia and you'll beat him quick.
3 of 3: Make sure with each attack on him, you make it drain a lot of points because he can using a healing spell for 1100 points.
