How to beat Sephiroth

[Lord Xehanort]

There is no beginner mode. Only Normal and Expert. Sephiroth laughs at Dodge Roll... so does his bus-sized Masamune. And Heratless Angel cannot be dodged, it can only be prevented, by beating him mercilessly when the summon starts.

Begginer, or Normal, its the same frickin thing, incredibly easy to beat!

Sephiroth laughs at Dodge Roll... so does his bus-sized Masamune.

I know, Holy Christ, could ti be any bigger, dodge roll is only good for getting out of his flame when I am dumb enough to madly charge him, orrolling back to dodge an attack, then rolling back in to get close quick.

And Heratless Angel cannot be dodged, it can only be prevented, by beating him mercilessly when the summon starts.

I reccomended strike raid to prevent it, or if you have a fetish for sonic blade like I do, sonic works, but only 1/4 as often.

[Lord Xehanort]

I hate Strike Raid and Sonic Blade and Trinity Limit and Ragnarok and Ars arcanum and any other 'special things' I forgot. I just Superglide in and smack him across the face. Then I apologize because it's a sin to ruin such sexiness.

SEPHIROTH! WHY CAN'T I MARRY YOOOOUUUUU!!????!!

Okay.... *runs and hides* But seriously, it should be illegal to smack sephiroth and, to attack bahamut in 10-2, they should have a special device in controllers that electrocutes you every time you commit such an atrocity

[seiritroth2]

first off.... didnt you forget to add how to beat him at the end? you stopped before you got to that part if you did put that in your guide please point it out.

Please. Sephiroth is actually ridiculously simple once you know his pattern. I can defeat him without unequiping any abilities. I don't even bother changing my equipment, I just go in with what I always wear. I start out with Strike Raid. I use it every time he creates a column of flame, and continue to use it until he switches to phase two. When he attacks with his Masamune, I either keep out of range, or I use Guard. When he switches to the second phase, I attack him until he disappears, and then immediately retarget him and keep hitting. When he disappears he usually hits me, but getting hit once is nothing. I Glide or Superglide over to him (depending on whether or not I have Superglide when I face him) whenever he uses Sin Harvest and just beat the living crud out of him. Omnislash is simple to stop. Properly timed use of Guard will stop every one of the sword strikes. When phase three starts, I avoid Supernova and then concentrate on hitting him. Guard also stops his spinning sword strike, and his energy orbs are simple to jump over (or drop under, if you are already in the air). Granted, it took me a long time to kill him the first time I tried, but I did it without a guide and now I never have a problem facing him.

i didnt need to know how Ive already beaten sephirothlike 20 times. I just wanted to know why he left that part out of the guide. and im not trying to act like god. ( i think you were calling me that, i couldnt tell because it was in the middle of the guide)

(Actually, I was talking to Ansem. I said that because of his little "mortals" quip)

You're not immortal: you're just a little freak who is so obsessed with the game that you try to pass yourself off as the main villain [considering how pathetic that main villain is, I'm surprised anyone would bother]. That's all. You're not a god, you're not remotely superior in intelligence or playing ability to most of the people on these forums, so shut up, stop acting so high and mighty, and get over yourself) and just beat the living crud out of him.

now thats how i play

[Vengence]

i did it about level 50 i had 2 omega bangles equipped and most of the skills and a few elixar and a mega elixer. i thought you could fight him as a team. i thought he dropped a meteor on your head when he had a certain amunt of hp. oh and i kept aero up all time and used oblition.

sin harvest doesn't kill you straight away it takes your HPto1 and your MPto0.
and i had omega bangles equiped,areoga is essental,as is curaga,ultima weapon.

Don't double post.

LEVEL 50!?!? Damn, you must be good. I had a hard time when I was in the 70's!

Also, I had a guide too but....it didn't really tell me how to beat Sephiroth...It just said that it's reccomended that you be on at least level 70 before you fight him and that's all. Talk about a cheap guide! :rolleyes2

[sayen]

i had some practice level 50 i might have exagarated a bit i got about level 50-60 when i thought sephiy with only the black chocobo keyblade and only aero defence spell.
