Taking down Sephiroth

Really need help, I'm right annoyed with Sephiroth, every time I get him down to the "SIN HARVEST" the attack which kills you if you don't have Second Chance, when he does that i'm a sitting duck then when I run away from him and heal, he comes and attacks then that's it, not game over but have to face him again, I'm lvl 100, got a load of good items, 13 megalixers, locked all worlds except Disney Castle lol, all abilites, you get the point, and yet he's still able to thrash me everytime, the lowest i got him was orange/yellow, but he never used dark beachballs or meteor crush.

I think I answered this question before. Yeah, How to beat Sephiroth. Here you go!


How to defeat Sephiroth?

-Sephiroth is by far the hardest boss in the game. And beating him will take some time. But the King's plan is Full-Proof on working. Here it is:

Phase 1:
Sephiroth uses Basic Sword Slash, Teleport Sword Slash (when you combo),
and Flame Pillar. Dodge Roll his Basic Sword Slash if you can, or parry it if
you're really good. He will run all over the place, and attack you at different
angles. If you get hit, don't fret. You *NEED* to get hit in order to keep your
MPs up. This is very important, as your MPs will cure you. Using Cura or Curaga
if you have it, you should pretty much refill your HPs with 1 casting. You may
also use whatever form of Aero you have, but at 2 MPs casting cost, I normally
skip it. As discussed in the equipment section, you might want to even use a
weapon that enhances your magic power and MPs. When he does his Flame Pillar,
that's your chance! Dodge Roll away from him quickly, then use your Strike Raid
to hit him through his flames. After a few of these, his life bar should begin
to move. You may try and normal combo attack him here, but I don't recommend it,
because more often than not, he'll use Teleport Sword Slash, and hit you from
behind. When his life gets down to when the Yellow bar is visible, he'll
teleport and say "COME ON".
Onto to Phase 2...

Phase 2:
Sephiroth will start doing Teleport Slashes and become in my opinion,
slightly faster. Maybe he just attacks you more often. But the big thing here
is his Sin Harvest. He'll teleport away from you into a corner somewhere, then
he'll say "SIN HARVEST" and have a rainbow-like glow around him. Then you'll
notice that same rainbow-like glow over your head. At this point, it's too late.
You're gonna get hit by it, and your HPs will now become 1, and your MPs will be
0. Directly following this, he'll use a Teleport Slash, and impale you. Here's the
strategy: Sin Harvest is your time to nail him. Do not get close to him and hit
him, unless you just happen to be near him when he teleports and starts doing Sin
Harvest. If you interrupt his Sin Harvest, he'll immediately go into a Flame
Pillar. This isn't good if you're standing near him. Stand away, near the center
of the arena, then when he teleports, QUICKLY press R2 to lock onto to him. If you
hear "SIN HARVEST", QUICKLY use your Strike Raid to nail him. It will interrupt his
Sin Harvest, making you immune. If his Sin Harvest attack manages to go through,
use an Elixer right before it actually affects you. If you time it correctly,
you'll go through the item animation, Sin Harvest will hit, then your item will
take effect. This is why you have Second Chance and those Elixers... just in case
it hits. After that little exchange, dodge roll and/parry his Basic and Teleport
Slashes, then wait for him to use Sin Harvest again, and repeat. He'll also use
Omnislash for the first time. You can either get hit by this and cure like mad
during it, or use Strike Raid to become invincible. I normally get hit a few times
at the beginning of this to regain MP, then cancel into a Strike Raid to avoid
the final hits of his attack. When he's done with his Omnislash, combo him, or
continue to hit him with Strike Raid. Just get some hits in. After you knock his
life down to where the Green is just barely visible...it's on to Phase 3.

Phase 3:
Sephiroth gets really angry here. A black and green vortex will surround him,
and he'll have a white glow. Instead of relying on Sin Harvest, he'll
be hurling other nasty voodoo at you, namely Darkness ***** and Meteors. While
he's doing Darkness *****, you can hit him. So make use of it. You'll need to cast
Cure frequently here, so don't hesitate. When he does his Meteor attack, he's
invincible (at least from my testing). Avoid the meteors as best you can, and
quickly pop out the cures. Occassionally he will use Sin Harvest during this phase.
DO NOT LET IT THROW YOU OFF GUARD! He uses it infrequently here, and often at
strange times, like right after his Meteor Shower. Sometimes he'll just do a
Teleport Slash after it, and sometimes he'll teleport into Sin Harvest. My advice
is to *NOT* cast Cure after the final meteor blast, and wait to see what he does.
If you hear Sin Harvest, nail him with Strike Raid. If not, dodge roll, then Cure.
He'll also use Omnislash here again as well, and it will be more powerful.
Just repeat the strategy you used in Phase 2 for that, and you'll be okay. He'll
infrequently use Flame Pillar, especially if you're close to him.
Try and dodge roll away, then launch into a Strike Raid attack to hit him for
some damage. Remember to cure! After this phase, he's dead.
Good job!

hahahahaha your right King of games you did awnser that before i asked it and you awnsered me lol

Oh yeah, lol. Well, glad I could help everyone out

Just go to the cheat section so next time King doesnt have to waste his time.

He's doing his part as a mod, and KH master like most of us here. Sigh, I wish andy were still here. He'd love to see such a good battle plan for Sephi.

Yeah, Pimpman will definietly be missed Hyperwire. He was truly a great legend of Supercheats.

Yea I hear that When I was just reading the post in this section he did a good let me rephrase this a amazing job. My bad Hyperwire I dint know continue doing what you was doing King.

That also helps too. That would probably make the match go a little smoother
