While Final Fantasy VII's Sephiroth may seem like a daunting foe, he can be defeated with relative ease, as long as you have the right equipment.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Mount your Golden Chocobo. If you don't have a Golden Chocobo, see "How to Breed a Golden Chocobo in Final Fantasy VII" in the Related eHows.
Step2
Travel to the village of Wutai.
Step3
Travel southeast from the village until you reach a cave surrounded by mountains.
Step4
Enter the cave and claim the mime command materia.
Step5
Equip a party member with the mime command materia.
Step6
Travel to the northeast corner of the map. There you will find a small island not seen on your mini-map.
Step7
Enter the cave on this island to claim the Knights of the Round summon materia.
Step8
Equip a different party member with the Knights of the Round materia.
Step9
Battle monsters until the mime materia levels up enough to duplicate.
Step10
Equip the character who doesn't have either Knights of the Round materia or the original mime materia with the new mime materia.
Step11
Fill the rest of your materia slots with hit point up materia until all of them have 9,999 hit points.
Step12
Travel to the bottom of the Mako Pit and enter into battle with Sephiroth.
Step13
Cast Knights of the Round with your first action.
Step14
Select the mime command for the other two characters. This step will cast Knights of the Round three times in a row and most likely kill Sephiroth.
Step15
Repeat steps 13 and 14 if Sephiroth is still alive.

Tips & Warnings

  • When leveling up your materia, look for weapons that are two or three times AP growth and equip them with the materia. This will speed the process.

on 6/30/2006 Early in the game, in Hojo's laboratory, right after you first see Red XII, you can get into battles with 2 types of enemies. First there's the Soldier members. Equip Tifa with the steal materia and keep attempting to steal from one of them. Kill the others, but leave one alive for Tifa to steal from. Eventually you will steal the Hardedge (a powerful sword for Cloud). Also, there are these big robot things. Use the same technique and eventually you will steal a Carbon Bangle, which is much better than the mythril bangles you probably have at that point. Steal as many as needed for your party.

on 6/30/2006 This isn't about Sephiroth. I'm not sure if there is a sure way to receive it, but if you battle at the battle arena (Special Battle) enough times, you can receive another ribbon. I have heard that there is a way to receive another one in Gaea's Cliff, but I don't have answers for that.

on 2/15/2006 The fastest way to kill Sephiroth is to have Cid Yuffie and Cloud as your party, each one of these characters has a limit break that does 15 attack combo, make sure to get Yuffies final weapon, and only use her limit Doom Of The Living, this limit does 15 attacks (just like Cloud's omnislash), with Yuffie at at least level 64 she will almost always do perfect 9999's and have 4x attack. On cloud and yuffie, Cid will miss almost every time with that. Equip Cid with Master All, this materia will do all attack/magic attacks to everything, and it doesn't need to be combined with any other materia, it will auto work with all.

on 12/19/2005 Get the sub and dive. Look until you find a hole. Then go up. It is a circular room. Then you will see a waterfall. Make sure you have Vincent. Then go behind the waterfall. Talk, then get Vincent's Fourth and Final Limit Break!
