==Battle==
The hellhound is weak to and uses attacks, many of them ranged. Its web attack can inflict . It is Undead, so healing spells damage it.
===Strategy===
In the colosseum, the beastmaster can be defeated quickly with simple attacks, but against the hellhound, the player is best avoiding its ranged attacks. Using on it deals 9999 damage, and can be used fo a quick defeat. Otherwise, the party can use abilities and ice spells to stagger it, then lay into it with abilities from all three characters. Pairing with on Cloud's and Tifa's weapons to help them deal more damage. Another use for the materia is in armor with to absorb the hellhound's attacks. can be used to halve damage as well. Wearing Protective Boots protects against slow.
In the combat simulator, the hellhound is faced alongside two bloodhounds. The smaller bloodhounds should be defeated first with physical abilities. With the hellhound left standing, the player can use Raise to damage it, or ice spells to pressure it, and when it staggers, burst it down with spells and abilities.
===Hard Mode===
Beastmaster is simple to defeat, but hellhound is more durable than before. MP should be conserved, though using Raise on it still deals 9999 per casting. Otherwise, pairing ice materia and elemental on Cloud and Tifa is still a good strategy, and Barret should use Lifesaver with cast on him. While Cloud and Tifa use melee attacks, Barret should use Focused Shot from a distance at two ATB bars, while Cloud and Tifa use their own Focused Thrust and Focused Strike, respectively, to stagger the hellhound. Once staggered, Tifa's Unbridled Strength techniques and True Strike can be used to build up its stagger bonus damage, while Barret's Maximum Fury and Cloud's Infinity's End destroy it for good.
