Ok so I thought about a guide for Carry Armor.

Recommended Team:
Cloud (Limit level 2/3)
Barret (Limit level 3/4)
Anyone else

If barret is level 3, give him lightning-elemental for his attack and use ungarmax. If he's 4, level 3 give it to cloud. If clouds at 2 Climhazzard, if he's at 3 use Finishing Touch...my reason for these are that you need the maximum amount damage to all parts, aiming for the arm initially.
Entering the game have barrets limit break ready and clouds if possible. Give your 3rd character healing materia, E.Skill with Mighty Guard. Then give Barret D.blow and have him your secondary healer (in case carry armor takes one). Barret should link mpabsorb with dblow, so when you're not attacking you're using bolt 2/3, and when you're not doing that you're curing because the primary healer is flying about.
Cloud should just attack, and give him some summons because barret's doing deathblow and your healer is busy with magic (use mighty guard/regen initially), offensive magic, like lightning, fire, ice, comet...
Aim for the arms initially, and derive all your attention to the arm when 1 of your characters have been grabbed, as then you are limited to just one attack while the other one heals from the arm swinging.
Sooner or later you'll have him down. He's got a lot of hp, so get in a few deathblows, and a limit or two and repeat.

Materia Keeper is seriously easy.

Team:
Cloud, Aeris (Limit Level 2), Any

Start off with aeris's limit break. Give her cover materia, fury (hyper), and put her in front with cure materia. Give Cloud or Any Elemental-Poison materia, or if you found the one here as well as getting one in the shinra building put them on both, or use the other on the armor to defend from trine. Don't use Lightning. But really, as soon as aeris does seal evil, he's dead, and if you have a smoke bomb or slow, use that too. because he's too slow to fight...I've seen someone defeat him with aeris level 7.

He wasn't too hard for me. I had trine and bolt 3 so I kept hitting him with that. I took out his arms pretty quickly so he couldn't get my characters. He only managed to pick up one before I killed his other arm. Also, if you have Vincent in your party, his death gigas limit is useful.

Ohhhhh man. The carry armor slaughtered me my first play through. XD
He's easy now though, I'm usually in the late 40's/early 50's by the time I get there now.

What a bitch this one was. Caused me endless problems! Once you figure out a strategy and destroy the arms it's fine; apart from the bald patches left from pulling your hair out.
