How do you beat sepheroth on Kingdom Hearts

[Keal]

Sora takes to long to use items, by the time he tosses it up he's hit. I beat Ice titan a couple times. Kakero is right. I alredy know about all of those hints against Kuurt, it's when he does the death rolls.

When he flies around like a frisbee? That seems to be nearly impossible to dodge. The only advice I can give about that is to roll when he comes at you like a wheel, and jump and glide when he attacks like a top. When he starts using all those floating explosions he uses when he has low health in magic only form can be dodged slightly easier by running somewhat randomly (zigzag, make a u-turn, etc.), if I remember how the spell works. I'll see if I can find my strategy guide and look for sephiroth and zisa.

Found it! This is exactly what it says (except for possibly some typos ) for Sephiroth:

Originally from Bradygames' Official Kingdom Hearts strategy guide: (BOSS) Sephiroth HP:1800 EXP:18000 Fight Sephiroth alone in the Coliseum and defeat him so that you can claim to have bested the SOLDIER commander! It is reccomended that the player be at a very high level entering this fight (possibly level 70 and up; he's hard to defeat even at level 100). Make sure you equip Sora with Elixirs in all of his item slots. You MUST have the Second Chance ability equipped, too. When the fight begins, jump away from Sephiroth and cast Aeroga. Sephiroth starts off with three different attacks. He walks around slowly and quickly swings his sword. When Sephiroth receives too much damage, he teleports behind you and strikes. When this occurs, immediately jump to avoid it. He will occasionally emit a pillar of flame. If you get caught in it, use the Ars Arcanum ability to inflict damage while you're invincible. You can also perform the Strike Raid combo from a safe distance to inflict damage. Because Sephiroth teleports a lot, use the lock on feature to track him. After you deplete his purple HP bar and begin depleting his pink HP bar, he will leap away and taunt you. After taunting you, he teleports away and casts a spell (you'll hear him say "Sin Harvest"). It's important to lock on to him and use the Superglide ability so you can strike to stop the devastating spell. If you don't arrive in time, the spell will deplete all of your HP and MP, as well as Aeroga. Try to Superglide away and use an elixir, because he will attempt to finish you off. At this point, it becomes more difficult to hit him because he runs and lunges a lot. After depleting the pink HP bar and half of the orange bar, he will jump away and then execute a flying flurry of attacks. It's hard to avoid these attacks, so use Ars Arcanum or Sonic Blade to stem the tide. When he reaches the yellow bar, he teleports repeatedly. This indicates that he's going for his ultimate attack. Heal yourself and cast Aeroga. You can't hurt him right now, so try to dodge the meteors. For the rest of the fight, he will attack with orbs of dark energy and a spinning aerial attack. Avoid the orbs and use Ars Arcanum or Sonic Blade when he lands.

Doesn't say anything about him using Sin Harvest more than once, or his limit break (the "flying flurry" of attacks) multiple times, either.

Now for Kurt Zisa. I actually beat him before Sephiroth, and this makes it sound like Zisa is a lot tougher. (it has a note saying he and the phantom shouldn't be fought until lv 80+, as they are "Insanely difficult", "epic confrontation", and "For die-hard gamers only")

Originally from Bradygames' Official Kingdom Hearts strategy guide: (Boss) Kurt Zisa HP: 1500 EXP: 20000 At the start of the battle, quickly cast Aeroga on yourself. The creature is invulnerable for now, and it casts a spell to disable your magic. To restore your spell-casting abilities, destroy the two orbs it holds in two of its hands. This isn't easy, since the creature can leap from one end of the area to the other. Don't let it get away, and use Superglide to chase after it. Also, avoid collisions when it leaps. When it pulls back its top two arms and begins to spin its blades, run away a bit or suffer the consequences! After you destroy the orbs, the monster releases a bunch of HP balls. It then crashes to the ground and sits idle for a few moments. Chain attacks to its head, which bobs and weaves in every direction. After a brief period of time, the boss rises and commences its second form of attack. Zisa erects a protective shield, and the HP meter displayed at this point is that of the barrier. Use Superglide as needed to stay close to Zisa, because the shield will drop MP balls as you inflict damage to it. Replenish MP as needed, and blast Zisa's shield with shots of Thundaga. During this segment of the battle, Zisa attacks with small, airborne fireballs that explode in midair. He also creates tornadoes on every side of Sora, which quickly close in and cause major damage. To avoid either attack, use the dodge roll ability, then cast Aeroga and fly at the barrier. Aeroga will weaken the force field a little bit withe each impact. With the barrier obliterated, Zisa collapses into the sand again. Use this oppurtunity to reduce its true HP meter some more. Use special attacks (such as Ragnarok) to inflict as much damage as possible in this short period. When the enemy rises again, start over by destroying the hand orbs. The monster's pattern repeats indefinitely until you defeat it. Zisa is an extremely tough foe against average fighters, but high-level characters with lots of abilities shouldn't have a tough time. If the fight is too difficult, complete some mini-games and level up your characters in hot zones like the End of the World.

Yeah, it "repeats indefinitely". Unless you count the new attacks that are harder to dodge and mentioned nowhere! Thundaga? one MP for what you could do with yellow bar fractions using Firaga? And this thing is most likely going to be tough for *ALL* characters. One attack form nullified? Flying UFO like attacks? But other than that, I mostly agree. Leaving out the special attacks makes this the worst boss guide in the book, though. That and the contradiction. "Insanely hard", but later, "shouldn't have a tough time".


This is allowed, right? Quoting directly from the strategy guide? [img]graemlins/confused2.gif[/img]

Which one? There's about twenty now, right? Only eleven numbered ones, though.

edit: I'm guessing 7, since you posted about Vincent in the Best NPC topic. I've got a friend that knows just about everything about #7.

actually 12's coming out in a little
Cool, ask him if there's a way to get around the demon gate. FF7 got banned for like 4-5 months when she found out about the demon stuff. I don't get it, your trying to kill a demon, hoow is that bad? as for the list let's see:FF1/FF2/FF1&2 remastered/FF3/FF4/FF5/FF6/FF7/FF8/FF9/FFX/FFX-2/FF Chronicles/FF Tactics/FF Collection/FFXI/FFXI online pack/FFXII/FF chocobo races/ Might as well count Kingdom Hearts, they guy who did all the art and directing did almost all the stuff for the FF's, and about all of the characters are from FF's and some of the heartless are based off of it. So noncluding Kingdom Hearts that's 19

[LS0158]

Yeah, it's in the FFTA world, right? And I think Square made Crono Trigger (the SNES one), which was really good. It's better than most of the FF games, I think. I've got Chronicles, Origins, 7, 8, 9, 10, Kingdom Hearts, Tactics, Tactics Advance, and 3 (6). I'd get anthology, but I have #6 on the SNES, so I don't know if I should get it. It's probably going to be either Sacred or FF Anthology with my Best Buy gift cards. They don't really have anything else I want.

If the Demon Gate is that big ol' wall thingy, I remember a discussion we had about it. It's the hardest boss in the game. Use wall, or protect and barrier. Pair it with an 'all' materia. Keep your health up, and the protections, with one or two characters, and fight with the third. See if you can get the characters near a limit break before the battle. I can't remember if it's weak against anything, though. If you have the playstation version, there's some sort of cheat thing you can do. Was something like select a spell and target, then open the playstation so it can't read the disc. Cancel the spell, then cast another, and put the disc back in. Or you could just cast regen on everyone and open the playstation when you run low on health. Nothing happens, everyone just stands there, regenerating. I wonder if it works with poison, too...

I've got the PC version, so I haven't tried these. I'll email my friend and see if there's anything I missed.

edit: And I don't think there's any way around it.

My mom's overprotective. She doesn't really like it if I play games rated 'teen' (and I'm 15!), or FPS or fighting games. My dad lets me rent or buy games like Goldeneye and Soul Calibur 2. He also lets me play Half-Life and Diablo, since he knows I'm not going to go crazy and shoot people because I saw it in video games.

edit2: My friend said to use wall, summons, and constant healing.

I only have ff7 and Kingdom Hearts (KH). Chrono Trogger doesn't have anything to do with the FFs does it? KH has a world similar to midgar in its world veiw appearance if that's what you mean, if you mean something like, "doesn't the artist for most squaresoft games since FF7 do almost everything behind the scenes of the game" yes.
If wall is a type of barrier, I understand. My guys (Cloud, Cid, Vincent, I know I have to use Aeries,) are all at they're highest weapon and armor for as far as I am. I'm not sure if I should just start over or just run around and fight.

My Mom's pretty much like that too, but I'm only 11. As far as my dad, well if I got an M or higher rated action game he'd probably watch or play with me.

Let's see how these smileys work hmmm maybe just these [img]smile.gif[/img]

There's a list of smilies on the top of the screen (entitled Graphics Library)

[LS0158]

Wall is Barrier and Protect in one spell. My mom doesn't like it when my dad gets an M game, since she knows I'll have to help him. I ended up doing just about everything on half-life that involved jumping.

I think Crono Trigger was made by Square, but I'm not sure. Other than that and the fact that FFChronicles has it and FF4 (I think), Crono Trigger is not related to the FF games, but it's still a good game. LOTS of sidequests near the end, multiple endings, unlockable things, and Dual and Triple techs (special moves using multiple characters). It's on the original playstation (FFChronicles, I mean. The original Crono Trigger is on the SNES), so it should be fairly cheap.
