Players can face the Sea Hulk during the M10-4-3 “Is it a Vacation Yet?” mission. To access the quest, open the Missions menu and head to M10: Mysteries of the World. After that, choose M10-4: More Fun in the Sun! choose the mission that reads, “Is It a Vacation Yet?”. Of course, you will need to complete prior quests to unlock M10-4-3.

To unlock the mission, you must first complete M10-4-2: We Hope it’s a Vacation. During M10-4-3, players will only face the Sea Hulk as an enemy. After completing the quest, the players will get the Adamantite as a reward.

Drops

The Sea Hulk in Crisis Core offers potential loot through two methods: Dropped Loot and stealing with “Mug” or “Steal” moves. After defeating the Sea Hulk, Dropped Loot is guaranteed, with a chance for a common Hi-Potion or a rare Iron Bangle, boosting Zack’s HP by 20%. Alternatively, using “Mug” or “Steal” has a 50% chance of yielding items, such as a common Iron Bangle or a rare Titanium Bangle, increasing HP by 30%.

How To Beat Sea Hulk In Crisis Core Reunion?

It is now time to get into the juicy bit of my guide. By now, you must know every relevant detail about the Sea Hulk. This gives you a good overview of the battle’s rewards and challenges. You also know that the Sea Hulk has no resistance against elemental damage, which means you can quite easily use all kinds of Materias on it. 

However, there are still a few things you need to keep your focus on before heading into battle. The Sea Hulk has a variety of moves under its belt. Similarly, it is quite weak against some Materias. On the other hand, its Self-healing ability means that players can not hold back during any part of the battle.

Moves

Apart from Sea Hulk’s self-healing ability, it is important to get familiar with its moves. The Sea Hulk has access to a wide range of attacks and can deal damage to Zack quickly. On top of that, despite its massive size, the Sea Hulk is very quick on its feet and can instantly switch positions on the battlefield. 

Nonetheless, here are all the moves the Sea Hulk can use during combat in the new Final Fantasy game:

• Double Claw Swipe: One of the most common moves the Sea Hulk uses. It’s a quick move and does not do as much damage as the other moves below. The Sea Hulk simply swipes its claws twice before it; the player can dodge it easily by moving to the sides.
• Double Tail Swipe: Similar to the Claw Swipes, the Double Tail Swipe is a similar move where the Sea Hulk lashes its tail within its vicinity. It is less damaging than the Gyro Tail but has a lot more range than the Double Claw Swipe.
• Gyro Tail: The Sea Hulk’s tail is one of its biggest fortes, and it makes sure it utilizes it again while using the Gyro Tail move. The Sea Hulk will spin its tail in a complete 360 circle during the move.
• Heave: The Heave is a devastating attack that resembles a tackle, but it launches the player in the air and deals great damage. Players can roll away from the Sea Hulk to dodge the attack.
• Meteorite: The Meteorite is the Sea Hulk’s special move. During the move, a cutscene will be initiated where the beast summons meteors from space and bombards them on the player, causing huge damage.
• Ten Million Volts: The Ten Million Volts is the final attack in the Sea Hulk’s pocket. It will call upon multiple lightning strikes on the battlefield.

Battle Strategy

Before battling the Sea Hulk, it’s vital to acknowledge its Self-healing ability, which cannot be stopped. To counter this, focus on dealing damage rapidly. Ensure Zack’s level is around 40 for this challenging 6-star mission. The Sea Hulk employs lethal attacks like Gyro Tail, Heave, Ten Million Volts, and Meteorite, inflicting statuses such as Stun, Silence, and Poison. Dodge skillfully and consider accessories reducing these effects.

Utilize the Wall Materia, created by fusing Barrier and Octaslash Materia, to halve physical damage for a minute. Consistent use of Wall Materia strengthens Zack’s defense against the Sea Hulk’s formidable attacks.

Transitioning to the aggressive approach against the Sea Hulk, capitalize on its lack of elemental resistance by employing top-tier Materias. While various options are viable, the standout choice is the Hell Thundaga Materia. This Materia not only inflicts substantial damage but also allows you to maintain a safe distance, facilitating anticipation of the Sea Hulk’s attacks and timely dodging. The speed of Hell Thundaga also outpaces the Sea Hulk’s healing ability.

Additionally, leverage the DMW for Limit Break moves and integrate Buster Sword melee attacks to add variety to your offensive strategy. Balancing Hell Thundaga with other attacks ensures an engaging and effective battle against the Sea Hulk.

So there you have it! My complete take on How to Beat the Sea Hulk in CC Reunion. After reading through my thorough guide, you will know all the tiny details about the Sea Hulk. Among all the foes in the game, the Sea Hulk is considered one of the toughest, mainly due to its ability to Self-heal and its highly damaging attacks.
