    If Aerith doesn't have Materia it's worth restarting the entire sequence and equipping her. Yes I know that's annoying and it takes like an hour to get back through it all. For the final phase 'the end is nigh' - save Clould's limit break and the synergy skill (firework blade) - those two were enough to finish him off but barely. Took me 5-6 tries to beat him, lots of trial and error.

    A cheap way to beat him is to put limit siphon on cloud. Equip reraise on Aerith and that materia that swaps mp with hp. Each time Aerith gets killed (which she’ll likely be one shot) Aerith will revive and get a huge limit boost. Cloud siphons her limit and spam his limit breaks and repeat.

    Ok I JUST beat it with only having Ascension. The key is to have the ATB filled and Ascension available when he does The End is Nigh. When he starts doing that I did Ascension which increased the pressure immensely. I had to increase it more with regular attacks until he got staggered. Once he got staggered I killed him with one hit of Braver!

    Nomura and friends really do believe that the boss just straight up just invoking damage frames at the last chunk of life was super smart as a game design. The very first time he initiated Tempus I used Ascension and he just ignored it. Initiated Octoslash and we died. But the most aggrivating thing about this is when you retry the "retry from checkpoint" is a 2 minute cutscene. WHY?

    The thing that sucks about the ending is not the difficulty, its how big of a jump it is, i like difficult games, the souls series are my favourite but to jump to this battle from everything else before is a fucking joke it takes DAYS to figure it out, otherwise you have to turn down the setting...... Souls games are good at making it super hard but progressively more challening not just throwing the kitchen sink at you at the end., you have to go through a retarded amount of cut screens to get back to the fight if you didnt happen to have your materia perfect to begin with its just a dumb way to make the game difficult at the end...... at worst there should be a shortcut where its cloud and sephiroth 1v1

    I have tried 30+ times trying to beat Sephiroth and just can't do it. I get very close, dwindling him down to a sliver of health, but can't seem to pressure him enough at the end, and I get one shot every single time. I never added a point in the folio for Clouds 3rd level break. I don't have barrier or fire on me. Although I found that Aerith's Soul Drain ability works extremely well on the sword, which I'm using instead of fire. I'm flipping between characters, and healing using mist gigas, so health is not the problem here at all. One would think that by setting the game's options to normal with classic mode selected would make this fight a breeze, since in classic it says something like "use this if you just want to focu on abilities" and it isn't working well. Works great for most other other fights, but not this one. I might have to call it. I completed all regions, all side quests except 1 against a tough dude at the golden saucer, and everyone in my party is in the light blue maxed-happy. I had a great time with the game, and think i'll just youtube the ending. It's most likely a skill issue, and I'm fine with that. I've simply had enough. Thanks for the great guide video! Cheers! 🍻

    Update - I gave it a few more attempts and finally beat it the bastard. What i did differently this time was to use United Refocus at the very end, where Sephiroth sends out a that cyclone of damage. What that is split the ATB gauge into 3 segments, which I was able to use Focused Thrust 3 times in a row, which was enough to pressure him. Some people were saying to use your limit firework blade at the end, or save up for ascension, but i highly recommend going with United Refocus so you've got enough ATB to slam him with 3 Focused Thrusts and fully pressure him. If you've got ascension, wait till after you pressure him, and use it. I also didn't use cureand instead I used gigapotions, because it is used faster to heal due to the cure animations being slower. So throw all your synergy abilities and limits at him, but save up for United Refocus. I didn't use Figra either. Aeriths Soul Drain works just as good against the sword. Good luck!

    it took me almost 2 days but after fighting him so often you can understand the pattern and he gets easier. i played on dynamic and did the following: •unfortunately, i did have to restart back to jenova to give aerith fire since i took everything off of her and gave it to cait believing i wouldn't play her in the future. it's 100% worth it and the fights aren't that hard, just time consuming. i also should add that i intended to give her raise but later on found that i didn't give it to her. nonetheless i could still use phoenix downs when using her. once aerith has fire, make sure cloud has it too. •in the beginning of the fight prioritize getting at least one ATB up for each of them, dodging as much as possible. seph will use his kamehameha and you need fire to destroy the masanune quickly. •this fight is impossible without aerith's radiant ward. use it as much as possible to get her ATB to constantly use pray. i thought i really needed cure for her but pray+potions did fine. after you pressure him from destroying masamune i use cloud a little bit to hurt him and then switched to aerith to let the AI continue to distract seph as i got aerith's ATB up as soon as possible for the radiant ward. •every time seph directs his attention towards cloud, i instantly switched to aerith to keep using radiant ward and use pray. if you're using it so much that you're full health then you can use fire if you like but be sure to leave MP for at least enough 2 fires for the last part of the boss. •when you first see cloud and aerith's synergies use it at the timing you think is best. i use it when i stagger seph for the first time. this is important because cloud needs his second limit break for the last part of the boss. as for aerith's i need her limit as well but do NOT use planet protection. it's useless in this fight. you can use them immediately in this part of the fight, and the second time the limits activate but trust me when i say don't use them for the third time. you're going to want to save them for the final part and it'll be so easy. also, when seph was staggered i also used the titan summon. that's to help out with damage (of course) but so i can keep my ATB up as much as possible. it's also super helpful to help stagger seph as you're saving your limit break for later. •be sure to keep at least one ATB on for each character to use fire because you'll need to destroy masamune when seph does his tornado. the same is for his octoslash. if you can't destroy his wing and sword when he powers it up, just focus on one. •when seph activates his final move before octoslash, that's when you immediately go to use aerith's healing wind to get cloud's health up as much as possible so he can use ascension on seph. that's not going to kill him but it will stagger him. then spam fire and you're done

    It's 3 am, my head hurts, after 8 tries of this fight alone, I finally give up for now. I always die when he does his "The End is Nigh" bullshit. Up until that point, I'm doing fine but that part is just unfair. I tried saving my limit break for this part and it barely did anything. :( I wish you could go back to the menu from the death screen and change up your equipment... EDIT: I did it on my 10th try. Honestly, I think I just got lucky, but heres what I did. - When not pressured or staggered, keep your distance from Sephiroth and only attack from afar - Equip the item master materia for Cloud and stock up on Gigapotions - Eqiup ATB boost materia - Dont bother using wards with Aerith, save the ATB for the attacks and use her to quickly spam Fire (on the Wing) and Thunder (on Masamune) when possible + let Cloud spam this as well - Try to keep limit breaks for the last part of the fight for Cloud, Aerith is only there to heal (I also have Pheonix equipped on her, which has helped healing me in previous runs) - Spam Fire and Limit Break during "The End is Nigh" I got lucky and managed to beat him before he could end "The End is Nigh". Reading about the Octaslash he apparently does afterwards sends shivers downy spine, I barely survived at the end.

  • @ryrysamurai92

    i had to break this fight down to a science, and it was still barely enough: Aerith’s magic was strong enough that usually one shot was able to pressure either the sword or the wing to interrupt his big attacks. i didn’t have magnify equipped, so i was constantly having to buff both cloud and aerith separately with Barrier and protect. in the 2nd phase of the fight i always made sure I had at least one atb for each person, so when Sephiroth went for Octoslash, i could use both cloud and Aerith to hit the sword and wing at once to stagger him. the move that takes everyone to 1hp is cheap, but yea i had to use aeriths limit for that, and switch to cloud so he doesn’t die before the move heals him. One of them falling unconscious is almost always game over, because losing your buffs on top of having to spend atb reviving them WHILE sephiroth is only coming at you is so rough. and just hope cloud has his Limit and a couple atbs for The End is Nigh

    I'll be honest with everyone here 'Limit Siphon Materia is the best one for Cloud cause he can get Aerith's limit gauge here and save a limit to where a point he does the "The end is Nigh" ability of sephiroth and use that limit on him. It took me 4 tries to beat him on Normal mode, cause I did 120 hours in this game and exploring pretty much.

    Took a couple of goes at this yesterday and couldn't figure out why I was getting insta-killed when he was down to the last 5~10% health... and then I looked up some user experiences. When he goes for "The End Is Nigh" - that's your cue to unleash at LEAST a Lv2 Limit break, Lv3 being even better as Ascension activates quickly. If you still don't end him, use an ATB Braver and that will definitely finish the job. You really have to be on your toes with this fight and constantly be reviving/healing/buffing(haste) either Cloud or Aerith because the chances of you getting knocked out are high the entire fight. Persist with it, switch out often when one is getting skewered, use Elixirs and dodge his basic attacks, heal, buff and repeat until he's roundabout smack-down level. It's only when he uses Octostrike and Heartless Angel where you REALLY need to scramble on ATB commands. I set up all party members heading in and caved Sephiroth's head in on the first go through today. Very, VERY satisfying beatdown. GOTY - no question.

    @@Nemo.404 Dude you have to admit if you went into the final battle you saw that not only was Aerith not in the party but in the VERY next scene she "dies" A lot of people jump to conclusions and realized she had some good swag on her and decided to take it away for active party members. MIND you for the easiest part of the fight they let you bring up the menu. Imagine thinking people are crying. That's bad game design. Even down to being force to restart after the previous battle which is a cut scene that you cannot skip. I think overall the fight is awesome especially the party dynamic. Everyone is in sync. But the mechanics here sucks. Even if I 100% assumed Aerith would be back and part of me did still having the choice to adjust her equipment was important. Next to Cloud she's my primary party member in terms of what she offers. Its not even a hard ask.

    It took me 6 hours to beat this whole section. After 2 hours I took a break then my ps5 auto turned off. Had to restart all the way from walking into the temple. I’ve never felt so defeated. Ran through those first 3 fights pretty quickly but spent another couple hours losing to that insta death at the end. Being forced to save limit breaks is so tedious. I even saved a synergy ability to use both at the end and it still didn’t kill him in time. Don’t mind how difficult a boss fight can be but the cheese that come with this did not make it enjoyable

    I beat this guy after an hour or so. I'd say he beat me easily a dozen times; not an easy fight. I always hated the mechanics of of Remake and Rebirth is no better. There are too many little odd things the game does that drives me insane. For example I got Sephiroth down to that last notch of HP just before he begins 'The End Is Nigh'. Alexander, the summon I had in play, did his final attack and... nothing. Sephiroth's HP didn't move. The fight is created in a way to make The End is Nigh unavoidable. It's maddening.

    I just got to this fight on Hard, one thing I found that helps is having at least 5 giga mist potions to quickly get you back up from that 1 hp. Fira preferably both Aerith and a cloud have equipped to cast for quickly taking out wing and blade. I agree saving LBs for final phase as it's a DPS race and the movement required all but nullifies Aeriths DPS. You better be comfortable with switching between characters for sure. Also TIP for anyone that has to restart the battle DO NOT select the retry battle option. That brings you all the way back to earlier phases.

    I agree with you. Part of the fun in a game is discussing the different ways each person beat an enemy - especially a boss. Like it shouldn't be that you NEED this particular move or something like it in order to beat the boss. Like one person could say they finished him off with Aerith's soul drain and another could say they Bravered him at the end. It is absolutely draining to have to do the exact same thing over and over again. For me, it starts to get to the point where I now know WHAT to do, but I mess it up in trying to execute it because I'm TIRED. This fight boils my blood that we can ALL get him down to a fraction of health but then ALL must use a giant power move - or set of power moves- to take him out. Doesn't anyone else find that to be boring as hell? Point A MUST line up with point B, otherwise you're dead. Didn't save your LB? Dead. Cloud didn't point his toes correctly north while swinging to the west? Dead. It's ridiculous. I remember John Wolfe playing Elden Ring and fighting Margit the Fell. He had his jellyfish summon that spits poison with him and he actually got killed during the end of the fight when the boss was at a fraction of health --and his jellyfish spat poison one last time before the game over screen hit and killed the the boss. And it counted! You know that was a story he told that was crazy and cool and rewarding. There is none of that here in this boss fight. It just mentally drains you and sucks all the fun out of the game. I love a challenge. What I don't love is a challenge that is lazily done and can only be beat by correctly lining up several chance things in order to finally come out on top. I enjoyed the boss fights in Remake. Here, not so much.
