Or look in the Kh2 section under sephiroth, there are bound to be some threads in there

 

You need the beserk ability, atleast lvl 50 and you need limit, allot of elixers and ultima would help but oblivion or fatal chrest will work. You also need glide abiity from leveling up final form. and after his fist attck use the trnity limit on him and whenyour mp is at zero your beserk kicks in aloowing endless combos an if you have ultima your mp will come back faster allowing you to do more limits. when You hear him say "Descend(sp?) Heartless Angel" you need t get as close as you can and use limit before he finishes the sentance and drops your hp to 1. when he summonsths big fire thing that pulls you in use the glide ability to get away from it. Keep this up and you will eventualy beat him.

 

I wrote a guide on how to beat Sephiroth, amongst also doing one for the whole Jiminy Journal. Hopefully, this helps you out.

For the battle you want to either use Oblivion or the Ultima Weapon if you successfully have made it and you want to be at least level 50, though I'd recommend leveling up well past that. I beat him the first time at level 53 and it took some considerable time. Also, you want to have the following abilities if you can: Glide, Second Chance, Combination Boost, Once More and Leaf Bracer. Guard Break is also very useful if you time it right, and having Reflect up assists with dark orbs he unleashes, if you don't want to spend time smashing them. It is best to fight Sephiroth after you have finished off the first fight with Xemnas, where Sora fights alone. You cannot use Forms or Summons to aid you in this battle. Magic except for Reflect (Reflega) is utterly useless against Sephiroth so I wouldn't bother. Also, equip the Trinity Limit. It becomes a great way to finish off Sephiroth at the end. Put in elixirs or hi-potions to your stock and use strength boosting and defense boosting Accessories and Armor. Stock up on elixirs too.

The key to winning this really is to be super fast and time things right. There is a reaction command to use which will deflect off his very fast combo at you. He uses this at the beginning of battle but also after he does his large pillars of fire around himself, and when he does Heartless Angel to you. Make sure you are on the ground when this happens or else the reaction button does nothing. To begin the fight, I used the reaction command, and then followed up immediately with a ground combo attack, using the dash ability to get in there. You can also after, if you can beat him in timing, do a good aerial combo on him. He teleports often during a combo but you can get quite a bit of it done before he does so.
After this, Sephiroth tends to move with the sword held out in front of him facing to the side. When he does this stay back from him a bit and let him break into a combo. Hop in after it is completed and attack him again with another combo of your own. Keep doing that as long as you can get away with it. Sooner or later, (usually after about 5 bars down) he will start to get a lot more serious and cast dark orbs around. Hit these quickly if you can and watch out for him. A fast way to deal with them is to cast reflect on yourself. Then when they go to hit you, they are repelled away and you can combo against him when he hops in to get at you.
Sephiroth will then start doing one of two things between attacking you as he did formerly. He also teleports more often and gets even faster. He will try to Heartless Angel you or do his fire pillar around himself. If you move away from him, he will do Heartless Angel. Quickly try to glide over to him or hop up if you don't have glide, and strike him before he finishes. If you succeed, you can do a nice combo on him.
If he does the fire pillar, try to get away from him as quickly as you can because this depletes HP rapidly and he won't take damage when in it. After it fades, I just ran away slowly, remaining just outside of the flames (since they draw you towards them) and then went in for a combo on him immediately after.
If he succeeds with Heartless Angel, and you miss him, wait on the ground for the Reaction command because he will follow through with the same attack he does at the very beginning of the match. After, immediately curaga or use a hi-potion or elixir, and if you are fast enough, get him in a combo. If not, hop away to avoid his that will no doubt come after you.
If you do these steps you should be able after a while to get to the end. When he's down to 1 or two bars, he becomes even worse, lobbing meteors down at you. Try gliding or running out of the way as you can and if you can't avoid them, use Leaf Bracer and curaga yourself. Also, I should mention having MP Rage equipped if you have that so your MP is restored swiftly. When he's done or just before, if you can get him, do Trinity Limit on him. This should finish him off and if not, go in for a combo.

 

Wow thx Repliku that should help alot


You really beat him at 53? im at lvl 83 and cant do it yet

 

Yeah, later I beat him at 44 once I knew the pattern. I tried to recall the pattern for people because once you know that, it's just a matter of timing it all.

 

How long did it take you to type this up?
But im gonna stay on topic:

• Dont quick run
  • Have Beserk Charge equipped, it helps to wear down his health

 

Oh, I wrote that some time ago on my own forums and just copied and pasted it to help out. I wrote out a whole guide on the Jiminy Journal how to beat it, because it was a test to see if I could get through it and others wanted to know how I did it after, so I replayed everything and took down all the notes. Sephiroth is one of the requirements.

 

Since Repliku wrote such an awesome guide on him, anyone should be able to beat him even if it does take a few tries.

Awright, question answered, thread Closed.

PM me for futher assistance.
