How to Beat Tonberry – A guide
The first time you face a Tonberry you’ll have some back up in the form of Cloud, Tifa, and Barret. This allows you to defeat it relatively easily.
Tonberry does have a lot of health though so it can take a fair amount of punishment before giving in. The key to defeating it is to overpower it by constantly and repetitively attacking it, allowing the Tonberry no respite from your onslaught.
You’ll beat Tonberry a lot easier by using your characters abilities in unison with their other attacks. For example if you are playing as Cloud, go for his Triple Slash. For Tifa it’s the Starshower!
Be careful of Tonberries Chef’s Knife attack. It can kill you in one hit. If you see the icon that indicates he is about to attack be very careful. His moves are very difficult to avoid.
Stick to the plan of just constantly attacking! Keep an eye out for when your friends die, you’ll need to revive them quickly.
Combat Simulator
Your combat strategy should change slightly when you face Tonberry in the Simulator. The reason is simple, it has to be done on Hard Mode. This means you’ll have no items that you can use to your advantage. If you die, you die. There will be no revivals. (Apart from Aerith – she can revive you)
The best strategy in our opinion is to head into battle with Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith. Give Aerith the Revival Materia and focus on the Tonberry with Cloud, unleash the abilities that are quick and deal damage rapidly.
The Tonberry will probably kill your selected playable character quite quickly, so make sure you revive them quickly with Aerith.
Repeat this strategy again and again until the Tonberry does us all a favour and dies!
