    I'm not sure if I understand this achievement. This just means do the full 8 round session once with Aeris, right?

    Oh weird, it worked the second time.

    This was pretty helpful for me. Does require some grinding

    After Super Dunk and G-Bike and the cursed speed square (for me), this was.... kinda easy. xD

    easy on low level running, try to steal the Right Arm from the Bomb, then spam in the Battle Square. You're done!

    The Reddit thread is extremely helpful, but the author does it /after/ getting the Tiny Bronco and Great Gospel. I'd /strongly/ recommend doing it right before you get the Tiny Bronco. The enemies in the Battle Square change at that point, and the pre-Cid enemies are HILARIOUSLY weak—e.g., for the 8th round "boss", my Aeris was matched up against a puny Grangalan (the Russian nesting doll enemy you encounter outside Costa del Sol). The Round 4 enemies were all from the Shinra HQ back in Midgar, and even the Lv6 enemies were the easy-peasy mobs from Mythril Cave.

    I'm sure it's not much harder against the tougher enemies after the Tiny Bronco, but if you're doing the achievement for all Fort Condor battles, you have to backtrack past Gold Saucer after meeting Shera anyway (but before meeting Cid). IMO that's the perfect time to knock this achievement out.

    So yeah, the Redditor has the right strategy, but you DEFINITELY don't need Great Gospel (which is basically just a combination of both her Lv3 Limits).

    With Aeris in the back row with Long Range materia, her physical attack (equipped w/ Fairy Tale, which has loads of materia slots) was able to one-shot most of the enemies, and I used Matra Magic for groups. I never had to use Trine/Beta/Aqualung. Right Arms are definitely nice to have, but I didn't need them either, I only used one (at the end against the Grangalan, just to end it quickly). I gave Aeris a Hyper to fill her limit gauge quickly, but ended up never using a Limit Break.

    The only tricky part is the handicap slots; they're easy to manipulate, but sometimes all of the options on a reel are rough. I can't imagine anyone needing more than one attempt unless they messed up with the slot and picked a really rough handicap (i.e., broken Command materia) or got horrible RNG with the slots. Shouldn't be an issue if you save before the attempt.

    Oh, and my equipment & materia for reference:
    *Fairy Tale: Enemy Skill, HP Plus, another HP Plus, MP Plus, Counter Attack, Long Range, Restore
    *Gold Armlet: Heal, Time, Destruct, Revive (you'd never use the last three after casting Haste, but they give the biggest Magic boosts to crank up that Enemy Skill damage. Though speaking of Haste, that reminds me that I never needed to use Big Guard either)
    *White Cape (lets you land on Frog or Mini on the slots and get no handicap)
