How to defeat Sephiroth hints and tips for Kingdom Hearts

How to defeat Sephiroth

I defeated Sephiroth, and I am a novice. Although I was at level 90 when I did him. It is very simple. Before you start, get your basic abilities (second chance, combo plus, critical plus, Ars Arcanum, etc.), and equip yourself with Ultima Weapon. Also, equip your items list with as many Hi-potions as you can hold. Elixirs and Mega-elixirs are a waste, because Hi-potions do just fine. Start the fight. When the Sephiroth text box goes away, immediately jump towards him. After he swings at you, hit him repeatedly. If he calls down fire, use Ars Arcanum on him as soon as possible. He will teleport away, and swing at you, and will usually miss. When he teleports after hitting him repeatedly (when you don't use Ars Arcanum), jump away. Keep jumping at him from a small distance and hitting him after he swipes and misses. When he says call, hit him as much as possible. When he teleports, lock on. If he doesn't say Descend Heartless Angel, or Sin Harvest, then whack him some more, but it is more important to block his next attack. Whenever he teleports after this, lock on IMMEDIATELY. If he says Sin Harvest, or Descend Heartless angel, and you can get to him within about 2 seconds, go to him, and hit him for all you are worth. If you are too far away, get as far away as possible, and select your items menu. Get a Hi-potion ready. Select it. IMMEDIATELY after you are considerably hurt, get the Hi-potion. If you do it slightly early, that is okay. But if you do it too early, it won't do any good. If you do it too late, he will hit you, and kill you. When he says "Get Ready For This", start pushing square (assuming you have guard) repeatedly, until shockwaves hit you. Use Ars Arcanum on him after he lands. After a while, he will turn green, and a black/green portal will appear under Sephiroth. He will say "I will lead you to the promised land". Get ready to jump when the blue orbs come to you. Then, a few seconds after the orbs are gone, jump and glide, because he will send enormous shock waves at you if you are on the ground. These big rocks will swing towards you. I don't know how to dodge them, but it doesn't hurt too much. Then he will drop some bombs on you. Then he will stand there for a few seconds. You can't hurt him at all yet. Then, when the blue orbs appear again, start whacking him. Use Ars Arcanum right after he does his tornado attack on you, when he says "Defend This". This is one of the easiest parts. Keep hitting him, and don't forget to cure frequently. He is really easy right now. You will probably level up when you kill him. Good job! You have defeated the hardest boss in Kingdom Hearts!
