To beat Sephiroth:

1) Key blade: Ultima, Oblivion or Circle of LIfe (if you do not have 'MP haste' ability).
2) Forms: all forms in level 5 or more (valor, wisdom, master and final).
3) Equip: Things for strenght and defense.
4) Use power boosts and defense boosts on Sora (if you have any).
5) Customize: hi-potions (3 on items), elixir (3 on items) -(IMPORTANT: DO NOT put them in auto-reload), curaga and reflect.
6) Abilities you should have (apart from combo boosts, slashes, aerial combos, guards, etc): MP haste, MP rage, Berserk charge, Once more, Last Chance, Glide, Jump and Run (last three are give to you when your forms are level 5 or higher).
7) Battle: When Sephiroth uses 'fire pillar' magic- use reflect to turn his spell towards him that way you will deal a lot of damage.
8) Battle: When he uses 'angel of death' spell (you will know because the screen becomes darker)- stop him by attacking him before he finishes it (use: jump high and glide OR run fast and jump high). If you do not stop it he will deal a lot of damage (MP=O and HP=1), use triangel button when he touches the ground to block his next attack and then use hi-potion or elixir.
9) Battle: Whenever he does a combo, after he finishes it, there is a window of opportunity for you to attack (by using Berserk chain you will be able to hit him consecutively until he dissappears).
10) Battle: If you attack him when he attacks you will be able to block the first two blows of his combo. (try locking him up whenever possible to know where he is).
11) Battle: when he uses the meteor attack, avoid it by running towards the other end of the screen, jumping and gliding from side to side.

What you need is to lvl. Up your forms to at least 5-6 and like that you will get the growth abilities like high jump(valor),dash or something like that(wisdom),airel dodge(master), glide(final)and also to get final (well I got it by going into the underground championships and put on master form but instead of having mater I got final)

You need to lvl. Up your forms valor(high jump),wisdom(dash or something like that),master(aiereal dodge),and final(glide)you could also think of using ultima weapon.to get final I got it by going to underworld and went in to a champonship yhingy and put on master and instead got final

level up to 85 and level up master and wisdom to lvl. 7

Step 1) Before going into battle with him, make sure that you have filled your items with elixers/mega-elixers.

Step 2) Make sure that Sora Has all of the "Cosmic" items equipped, "Soilder earrings" instead of a "Cosmic Talismin" will work too (Just not as well)

Step 3) make sure that you have equipped sora with oblivion.

Step 4) make sure that you have (AT LEAST) guard, all of the growth abilities, counter strike (Not sure if thats what it is called, the one that lets you counter after being knocked into the air.) and any other abilities that you think you will need.

Step 5) Start the fight with Sephiroth and button-mash triangle as soon as the fight starts to avoid his first attack.

Step 6) during his fire wall attack, just run away and you should avoid it. Sephiroth tends to go with a pattern of attacking, draining your hp and mp, and using his special move.

Step 7) When he knocks you up into the air, wait until he teleports and then hit square, if timed correctly, you should hit and stun him, go crazy with the attacks andf then back off when he teleports away.

Step 8) from here he will do 1 of 2 things, if he teleports on the ground and slowly starts walking towards you, just stay away from him. IF HE TELEPORTS INTO THE AIR GO TO YOUR ITEMS AND GET AN ELIXER READY TO USE, WAIT UNTILL HE DRAINS YOUR HP AND MP, THEN USE THE ELIXER AND HIT TRIANGLE QUICKLY TO AVOID HIS NEXT ATTACK, (the same one that he used at the beginning of the fight)

Step 9) Just lather, rinse, and repeat, he should follow this patten while throwing in a few fire wall attacks along the way.

A few tips:
Just be sure to avoid him when you need to, don't take any more hits then you have to, (an example of one that you have to get hit with is when he knocks you into the air, let him and the battle will go a lot smoother as long as you are able to counter him by pressing square)

It will probabilly take a few tries to beat him, if you get frustrated, just take a break... (take a walk or something.)

remember, if you stun him, take advantage of it and go crazy, just be sure to back off after he teleports away or you'll get splatted... And it will prolly be quick and painful.

Try leveling up a little more, a good place is the top of TWTNW, (The World That Never Was,) and the pridelands at the "Peak" area through the cave above pride rock.

If he starts floating where you can't reach him and he says something, get ready to use an elixer, cause he is prolly about to drain you're HP and MP. (When he DOES do this, just back off and abandon all hope of stopping his attack... Just be sure to use an elixer and tap triangle as soon as he finishes his attack.)

Try to avoid spells... You have to stop moving for all of them, and this puts you at risk.

Cure does count as a spell so try to avoid using it unless you REALLY have to, if you do well enough, you should be able to survive using only the elixers after he drains your HP

His HP/MP Drain attack CAN'T kill you, it will ALWAYS drain your MP fully, and will ALWAYS leave you with 1 HP. (Its his finishing move that you have to watch out for... (The first attack that he uses during the fight.)

Try to keep a lock on him unless he is teleporting around like he does when he knocks you into the air...

All it really is is a battle of endurance... Just be sure that you heal after his draining attack, and you should be fine.

USE AN ELIXER AFTER HE USES HIS DRAINING MOVE, THEN TAP TRIANGLE TO AVOID HIS FINISHING MOVE! I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU DONT FORGET THIS!

Well, don't get too stressed and break the controller like I did, just keep at it and remember to heal, you'll beat him eventually!


Well, I hope that I helped at least a little!
