well i finally decided to play the english version because it has the "hard" option which i gotta admit i love but im having trouble and need some tips My Stats: HP: 8291 MP: 183 AP: 199 ATK: 75 VIT: 58 MAG: 68 SPR: 39 LCK: 27 Materia Equipped: HP Up+ (mastered) HP Up+ (lv.1) MBarrier (lv.4) Barrier (lv.3) Vit Up (lv.4) Libra (mastered) i've been stuck on sephiroth's battle (1st) for quite awhile. everytime i get close to do around 30,000 damage to him he does "octoslash" which does about 9,000 damage to my health (around 4,500 with barrier). if i don't use barrier its a instant death for me. i would level up and become stonger but luck hasn't been on my side with the DMW. if i manage to survive the "octoslash" attack he uses "summon" which makes 4 super powered master materia (with around 70,000 HP each) come into battle (they each do around 3,000 damage per attack a peice). and i can't seem to kill them without being kilt first any tips on this battle?
You need assault twister for the materia summon. Thundaga is strong against sephiroth, and Hell Thundaga is even better. Vital Slash is also very good.
Yeah, Vital Slash is an awesome materia. Also to clear this up, Leveling is NOT random. There is an invisible EXP value. When the value reaches the point where you are supposed to level up, you will get 777 on the DMW. I know it seems to level up randomly sometimes, but I'm not sure if just hitting enemies give any EXP. anyway. I used Vital Slash and Thundaga on this boss. It is very tough. I don't know if you've seen it yet, but he will consistently use Heartless Angel on you later in the battle. Just use your best potion at that point, DO NOT use elixers! Heartless Angel will not deplete your MP, only your HP. It is possible to dodge most of his normal attacks, lowering the amount of healing you have to do between the Octoslash. You might also want to raise your VIT, since thats your physical defense, it'll help a ton here.
i know this sounds typical, but do as many missions as possible before fighting him again. do all the priceless and precious item seeking ones you can, the equiptment found from these missions allow you to raise your health and attack strength. once you have all the items needed, (sorry cant remember their names but brings HP to 99,999, and damage level to 99,999) upgrade all your materia until you have as high of stats as you would like.
Dark Firaga. Also, you might want to unequip on of the HP ups. The nonmastered one. You have low health for having a HP up. Heh...Vital Slash helps a lot. Plus, remember to only get in two hits before running away like a girl(no offense to any reading this!). *looks at Doombringa23* He's right about the invisible EXP meter. Just keep upgrading all your stuff. Patience is a virtue!
Go do teh missions to level up! Plus don't get "curse". It will never move your DMW an inch so don't wear the "curse ring" that has the effect to level up all your other stats by 5 or more. I regret it right now.
