KH Sephiroth help

[DarkMaster]

ok, i've been getting my ass handed to me by this bastard. I'm at level 45 and goofy and donald are at 46 and 43 respectively. this guy is friggin insane, his sword reaches across half the god damn area. I've found a way to recover from his instant KO attacks, but this guy is just too fast. 1 minute 38 seconds is my record for staying alive against him. For those who have beaten him, any tips? should i just go raise my levels some more? thanks in advance

EDIT: warning, this thread contains major spoilers, do not read if you havent beat Kingdom Hearts.

[BlueFire]

I remember hearing you should be around level 80-100 to beat him.



Have fun. :p

[DeathsHand]

I think it was PSM that I read this in... they said that like... they were having a hard time beating him, so they called up Square and asked the d00d how to beat him, and he simply said "Are you at level 100 yet?" or level 99, whichever is the max...

heh... sounds quite hard :eek:

Die :mad:

I havn't even played the game so yeah :p

Chances are I would get quite frustrated with it though...

[CrOnO_LiNk]

No, no, no... Leave this to the KH master. (BTW, that's me. ;) )

I am at level 78 or level 79 and I can beat Sephy right now. I got everything in this game... almost. I just saw the secret ending and damn that was nice. Okay,

Notes before the fight

-Set your magic shortcuts (L1-?) to the way you want it. I used Curaga-X Aeroga-O Firaga ^ for Sephiroth

-Don’t be intimidated by him he is the strongest opponent in the game but once you get the hang of controlling his attacks and get your strategy down, he’s not all that tough.

Sephiroth’s Attacks

Okay you’ve got all the stuff, are at a high level and think your ready to fight Sephiroth, well your not, because you don’t what a clue what’s going to happen when you walk into that ring. This will give you a little insight on what’s going to happen once you do enter that ring of hell.

Most of Sephiroth’s attacks do about 25 on average but some do more then that. I made the assumption to how much damage each attack does seeing how there is no way to get the precise amount of HP taken. I’ll also say how easy it is to dodge it and what to do to try to avoid the attack.

*Side Slash* 27HP-[Easy Dodge]-Forms 1,2,3- A regular attack, simple attack. Get to close to Sephiroth and he’ll do this attack, even though this is his simplest attack as he starts to go into his different forms it seems to take a little bit more each time. Though this is his most common attack you can get hit with it just because the enormous length of his sword and his extreme quickness, but can be extremely easily Guarded .

*Forward to Back Slash* 29HP-[Avg. Dodge]-Forms 1&2- Another simple attack but a bit more harder to dodge and takes a little bit more away from you. What this attack does is when you get close to Sephiroth he will jump Forward, Slash, then jump backwards. I heard of people saying that you are able to dodge roll away from the slash but it is yet to be tested, but even if it does get test I would not recommend it just because you are not able to guard while you’re running which is a very valuable Ability.

*Fire Pillar* 30HP-[Avg. Dodge-depends if you’re close to him]- Forms 1&2- A complex attack that takes a hefty amount of life. Another attack that is triggered by you getting too close to Sephiroth, what happens here is Sephiroth throws his hands in the air and three pillars made of fire reaching the sky lasts for about 5-7 seconds. If you have a lot of HP on Sora you can sneak in a couple of shots against Sephiroth before getting hit with the fire. After the attack ends Sephiroth takes a 1.5-2 second breather which is enough time for you to superglue away on heal yourself and is a huge advantage for you.

*Out of Nowhere* 25HP-[Hard Dodge]- Forms 1,2,3- This attack changes as you go trough Sephiroth’s different forms but you’ll learn to adjust. Lets start with the first form, the only time he does this attack in his first form is when you do a 4-5 hit attack combo (not any ability attacks). In forms 2&3 he’ll do it when you get to far away from him and when you do the combo. As you go to his 2&3 form this attack also seems to get a little stronger. If you get VERY lucky and are able to dodge this attack then you should quickly lock on and start a new set of attacks seeing how his is still discombobulated from his last attack.

*Blue Balls of Light* 25HP-[Avg.-Hard Dodge]- Form 3- This attack will almost always catch you off guard. What happens is this is the first attack in a string of attacks that Sephiroth form 3 does, he creates a blue forcefield around himself and then does the attack (the forcefield makes him invulnerable to all attacks so don’t think about it). The attack starts as Sephiroth in the middle of the ring throws arms in the air and summons these blue balls of light to come out and attack you. There are about 7-9 Balls of Light in each attack but at this point of the battle the fight should be very fast paced and he should not get this attack off the ground more than 3 times tops.

Before you criticize someone you should walk a mile in there shoes so your a mile away and you have there shoes

*Dodge This* 30HP-[Hard Dodge]- Forms 2&3- This attack seems very simple yet it gets used very rarely. There is really not much to say about this attack, as you can tell from the name of the attack it is very hard to dodge, but other then that you really won’t see much of this attack during the Sephiroth battle.

*Falling Meteors* 30HP-[Avg. Dodge]- Form 3- The second part of that string of attacks that Sephiroth form 3 does. Once again he is in the middle of the ring when this happens, he begins to summon 5-6 meteors to start falling down into the ring. Each meteor is about the size of 2 Sephiroths put together and are usually easy to dodge. Whatever you do just don’t jump to try to avoid the meteors, I’m pretty sure you can Superglide away from them but definitely DON’T TRY TO GLIDE AWAY!

*Side Meteors* 25HP-[Hard Dodge]- Form 3- The Third and final part of his 3 set attack where his stands in the middle of the ring invulnerable to your attacks. Once again summoning 5-6 meteors but instead of having them fall out of the sky Sephiroth summons them to surround him and begin to go into a circular pattern. The strategy that I used to take this attack out of Sephiroth’s playbook was to stand in the end of the ring and jump whenever I saw a meteor coming and if I felt ballsy I would fly around the edge of the ring and see if I get hit but usually I didn’t.

****SIN HARVEST**** ALL BUT 1 HP & NO MP- [Un-dodgeable]- Forms 2&3- Sephiroth’s Ultimate attack bottom line. This is the one that you’ll beat the crap out of your little brother (for looking at you the wrong way) after you die from this. Well here is what happens he begins to say SIN HARVEST and then disappears, at this point you should have your item menu open and be ready to use and elixir, he comes back and at this point you should be in the opposite of the ring as him just in case something goes wrong with the elixir. Remember there is absolutely no way to dodge this attack so please don’t e-mail me. After he comes back he does his attack, ULTIMATLY DEVASTATING. The attack leaves you with 1 HP and no MP, after you lose your hard earned H&MP he begins to run at you with full force, what you should have done was the elixir just before he used the attack so that the elixir sets in about a second after he does SIN HARVEST so it will be like nothing even happened but trust me it is not that simple at all you have to time it down to the exact second which is extremely hard and unfortunately there is no real strategy I can give you for that, you just have to practice.

[b]At least be on level 65+ and go fight him. Level 54 is way to weak...

So for now, your ass is grass and Sephy is the lawn-owner, my friend. Any more help, just ask me. I have fought all the secre bosses... Ask me anything about this game and I'll give it to you right away!

[DarkMaster]

thanks a lot, seph aint got nothing on me

[BlueFire]

Lmfao... I just fought him for the first time. He beat me in 4 hits. Haha


BTW: Sora: Level 50
Donald Level 49
Goofy Level 51

even though Sora takes this battle on his own.. :hmm:

[DarkMaster]

i still havent beaten him, Sora at level 60 now

[CrOnO_LiNk]

I beat him on level 78. I am at level 100 with all 3 right now. Sephy is a sinch.

[BlueFire]

that guy is a filthy lying bastard!

well if he seriously did, then holy crap he must be good

Level requirements will depend on skill level, but once
you see his pattern of movements, you can defeat him easily at lower and lower
levels. I took him out on Expert at level 52. Was it easy? No. But being level
100 won't give you that much more of an advantage, unless you severely lack defense
and HPs

He either has a lot of time on his hands or is a naturally skilled person. I go with 1. :p

[BlueFire]

On another note, I just beat Kingdom Hearts! :D

But the real ending was sad... but really good CG :roll:

[DarkMaster]

k, i have just entered a state of confusion, this is a scan of an ad for KH: final mix in japan.

http://www.rpgwh.net/Pics7/khfm.jpg

now only people who have beaten the game and seen the secret ending will understand my confused state. notice the hooded man with the black trench coat, apparently hes a new secret boss only offered in KH: final mix, but i know i've seen him somewhere else.....

also, anyone who understand japanese (i'm looking at Mediocre), can you please tell me what most of this ad says?

[BlueFire]

WTF? That's... weird :hmm:

[Shiz]

hey darkmaster that hooded mofo is the guy who u see on that island that u start out at, the very first one. he goes thru the door and says something like those who dont understand never will understand or some ****.

hope that helps

[Shiz]

precisely wut i thought at first, but trust me, thats not him. the guy at destiny island in the brown hooded coat is someone else (i cannot say who or i would spoil it). if you've seen the secret ending after the credits you would understand wut i'm talking about.

[CrOnO_LiNk]

The guy in the hood is Sora. I am at level 100 with all 3 and have seen the secret ending 3 times. I read it all and there are 2 guys with hoods. The one on the roof is Riku and the one with two keyblades is Sora.

i dont want to sound mean, but you're wrong. the guy with dual keyblades has white hair and near the end of the movie he says "wheres Sora?". he couldnt be Sora. and it wouldnt make much sense if one of the new secret bosses in KH: Final Mix was Sora...

Yes, that's what I thought first. But if you look real good, you can see that the white "hair" is a bandana. But the white hair for the guy on the roof is really hair. It's just my guess. But I hope a KH sequel comes out.

That doesn't loook like a bandana to me... They both have white-silver-gray hair.... like Riku and Ansem. :unsure:

[DarkMaster]

bandana or not, still remains the fact that he says "wheres Sora?" at the end. i doubt Sora would be looking for himself.

On another note...

Damnit, Sephiroth. Go to ****ing hell you stupid piece of ****. I hate you!

[DarkMaster]

AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! SEPHIROTH!!!!! ROT IN HELL YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!! **** YOU!!!! YOU ****ING COCKSUCKER!!!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!!

[CrOnO_LiNk]

There are 2 keyblade masters... One's Riku, who's the other?

Also, Sephiroth is very easy for me.

1. Riku was the original Keyblade master, but when he turned to darkness, Sora became the Keyblade master.

2. Maybe because you've beated him and you are at level 100? :mad:

[DarkMaster]

mickey is also a keyblade master! bam motha fuka!

[BlueFire]

1. No, Sora is the real keyblade master. Where did you hear this?

2. My first time kicking his ass was at level 83 and he was nothing to me. I could've wasted him on level 70.

I thought you would've picked it up in the game...


Why else would the Keyblade go to Riku? He was the original Keyblade master til his heart turned to darkness. Then the keyblade chose Sora.
