The Horrible Reward Of Beating Sephiroth :o

[mattkd]

Has anyone ever had trouble beating Sephiroth in kingdom hearts 1? and tried fighting him multiple times? well stop right now because all you get for beating him is absolutely nothing. I had a gameshark that took me to lv 255 and with max hp and stuff and he was still way too hard to beat, but once i beat hm on my 20th try, all I got was a waste of my life since you get nothing.
anyone ever beat this guy without cheats?

[Ouch!]

Lots of people have. He's how I leveled from ~55 onward. People have beaten him without getting hit, even.

Theres a sort of satisfaction achieved when you finally kick his ass after having yours handed to you so often. Also theres a nifty load of exp.

Wow, I never thought bout experience. in kingdom hearts 2 you get a much better reward. you get a really long strong keyblade that looks like a sword rather than a keyblade plus you get to watch a cool cutscene with cloud and sephiroth
but hes really hard in kingdom hearts 2 but at least hes beatable unlike in kingdom hearts 1

I almost beat him at level 60, failed a few times, got angry, and leveled to 80 to pwn him.

You get some stuff in KH: Final Mix. A new Keyblade and the first version of the Cloud/Sephy fight.

Personally I find him hard only from the games faulty camera and targeting system. I hate when I would lock onto him and he would move in such a way where the camera was facing me instead of him.... He only beats me with cheap shots. He's a abit of a joke in KH2 though...

[mattkd]

yea, in kingdom hearts 2 you can pwn him most of the time, especially if you're a high level. I beat him around 70 something

You struggled to beat him when you was lvl 255, mate, thats terrible. When I first tried to beat him at lvl 62 I always got close to beating him with like 1 and a bit health bars, but gave up until I was stronger. Its not that his that hard though, once you are locked on its pretty easy to dodge attacks and he near always teleports right behind you. Its just difficult to swing the camera around and lock on before he starts mencing the flesh on your back.

i felt he was much harder towards the start of the fight
that attack where he would reduce your hp to 1 was what got me most of the time

I actually found him slightly harder in KH2 and therefore more fun. Pity you can't fight him more than once though (well, you can if you saved right before fighting him, but that's true for any boss.)

[Ouch!]

I felt Sephiroth was more difficult in KH2 simply on the basis that his moves are less predictable. In the original, you know exactly what he's going to do and exactly when he's going to do it. That's how people manage to do it without ever getting hit.

[Crimson]

Forgive me for laughing at the codes thing, but codes make me RAAAAGE.

Anyway, yes he was slightly more difficult in KH1 than KH2, though it has alot to do with the fact that your in a smaller space and KH1 Sora has far less mobility options than his 15 year old omg-1-year-up-gives-me-Jedi-Master-Skills self, which is why you'll find Sephiroth harder.

I didn't have much trouble beating him, I think I bet him with his level in the 60's as my best. KH1 Sephy was badass.

I didn't find either difficult, beating them in the mid-70s, but what was hardest for me about KH2 Sephy was actually finishing him off with a combo. I had basically drained his HP by using combos and finishing them, but it took me over five minutes when he had no HP left to actually finish the combo for God knows what reason. It was maddening.

And if you can't beat KH1 Sephy then you have no idea how to fight him. Original poster, you were aware that you could attack him when he was using Descend Heartless Angel to keep him from using it, right? If you have High Jump and Superglide, it's easy to get to him no matter where he is.
