Build at the end of the video and in the comments.

0:00 Titan
Prime Mode and Faith (with Zack). Heavy attacks for Berserk 2, parries and Aeroga to break his Earthen Aegis. Heavy attacks for Berserk 2, ATB Boost, Aeroga, light attacks (still in Prime Mode) to stagger him, Aeroga.

0:53 Hueyacoatl
Prime Mode, Faith, parry (physical attacks) or counterfire (lightning attacks), then heavy attacks and Thundaga. Immediately switch to Zack while Hueyacoatl is stunned, attack and fill 1 ATB bar. Back to Cloud, parry/counterfire its next attack, then a full heavy combo and immediately cast Stop with Zack. Aeroga, attack for full ATB, Aerora, ATB Boost, Aeroga. If you land some critical hits and counterfires you may not need Aerora.

1:55 Phoenix
Prime Mode, Faith, then Plasma Discharge to kill the Flan. Don't attack but just counterfire its fire attacks and block Rending Talons and Blazing Onrush. While Phoenix is summoning the Bomb attack with Zack to fill his ATB, then Cloud kills the Bomb with Thundara. Wait for the Grandhorn, kill it with Thundara and at the same time cast Blizzaga with Zack. Attack with Cloud, stagger, Thundaga, heavy attacks, ATB Boost, Thundaga.

3:34 Brineborn Demon
Prime Mode, dodge, and heavy attacks. When Cloud is doing the final slash, cast Stop with Zack, then Sonic Boom, ATB Boost, Thundaga. Attack, Thundaga, and the Brineborn Demon will jump back. If it casts spells: counterfire. If it goes into Counterstance: dodge into it (to trigger its counterattack), switch to Prime Mode, parry. Use Thundara to stagger it and one more Thundara to kill it.

4:37 Kujata
ATB Boost, Prime Mode, dodge, Plasma Discharge. Zack casts Faith, attack, then Haste on Cloud. Its attack pattern is very regular: after 1-2 Thundaga it alternates between summoning a portal and attacking. So just parry/dodge and cast Thundaga. Thundaga will also stop Kujata before it imbues itself with "elemental beings". Staying behind it helps. If Zack gets 1 ATB bar cast Stop.

6:22 Ironclad
ATB Boost, Prime Mode, Sonic Boom, Stop (with Zack). Cloud attacks in Prime Mode and casts Thundaga. When Stop is over, be careful and parry/dodge. Staying behind it helps.

7:15 Alexander
Prime Mode and Faith. Heavy attacks for Berserk 2, Thundara to cripple the arms. Counterfire Earth Tremor and Tracking Beam if needed. When Alexander is pressured: attack, Thundara, fill ATB, wait for Alexander to do one attack, Thundara, ATB Boost, Thundaga.
DO NOT cast Thundaga first or Alexander will regenerate its arms.

8:06 Mindflayer
Prime Mode, Faith, heavy attacks and switch to Zack as soon as Cloud is landing his last hit. Attack, cast Stop, back to Cloud for some hits and Thundaga (he should still be in Berserk 2). Back to Zack, attack, Haste on Cloud. Back to Cloud for heavy attacks to fill ATB, then use SOLDIER's Honor to pressure the Mindflyer (you'll likely interrupt Telekinesis as well). Keep pushing to stagger and kill it.
If the Mindflayer uses Telekinesis its next attack will be Psychotic Break.
If you don't cast Stop quickly at the beginning it will use Astral Apprehension (you can counterfire it).

9:29 Bahamut Arisen
Prime Mode, Faith, dodge to cancel the animation, then parry its kicks. Counterfire its magic attacks a few times to pressure (Nova Bomb, Flame Breath, Thruster Spin, Vulcan Onslaught). Its third attack is ALMOST always Crush Grip: interrupt it with Thundaga or dodge it.
Use Sonic Boom and Plasma Discharge after a parry/counterfire. Cast Thundaga/Thundara (Firaga/Fira with Zack) when Bahamut is pressured. After a while it will start charging.
If Bahamut is not pressured anymore, cripple its wings with Thundara. Otherwise cast Thundaga on the main body. After it transforms you can parry in Prime Mode all its attacks (Galewind Slash, Whirlwind Slash, Soaring Slash). A few parries and Thundara/Thundaga will stagger.

11:09 Odin
Punisher Mode to parry Soaring Spear or Charge, then Prime Mode, Plasma Discharge, and Faith. Attack and parry, but be careful of Helmcleaver and Scintillating Spear.
If not dodged, these attacks put red/pink "handcuffs" and Odin will counter any ATB command with Reprise (for the next 10 seconds or until staggered), even if you perfect parry them. Usually he does them right after Sleipnir's Furor.
Have full ATB when he's close to be staggered to cast Thundaga immediately after (you can use Thundara to stagger him if you have the chance, because you'll get the ATB bar back thanks to ATB Stagger Materia). Keep pushing with heavy attacks and Thundaga (use ATB Boost as well).
If the fight drags on and he uses Temporal Imprisonment, use Cloud's limit to be immune.
