    Thank you so much for watching! This was an incredibly fun fight to learn and analyze. I hope that this tutorial provides the info you need, but bear in mind that this video does not cover ALL attack methods and openings - for example: Sephiroth is also open to stagger/damage for a very brief period just after his animations signaling the start of phase 2 and 3! What other attack methods or openings have you found? Let everyone know in the comments! 👑💙✨

    This battle can be made even easier by equipping items with dark resistance on them. All of his attacks, even the fire pillars, meteors, and the supernovas; deal dark damage. If you're playing on Proud Mode the damage reduction is very noticeable. Heart Guard is the golden acc for this fight defensively imo. You get +3 HP, +4 DEF, and +20% Dark Resistance each, so +9, +12, +60% total if you put 3 on. Equip them, and try the fight. You might be amused how much his damage on you gets cut down by.

On his last health bar I was able to just be ontop of him and he was spamming his energy balls at me. During that I would combo then heal then combo then heal until I whittled his health to nothing. He kind got stuck in the Energy ball attack because I was relentless.

    Very nice, detailed tutorial. :) Thanks to watching it, I now see the main differences in Sephiroth's attack patterns between OG Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts FM: - In OG KH, Sephy doesn't use Flame Pillar after teleporting behind you. He mainly uses hopping slashes after teleporting behind you (he also mixes in teleporting spin slashes in Phase 3). - If you can consistently keep hitting OG KH Sephy with four-hit combos to make him teleport away before he gets off his four swings, he'll never actually use Flame Pillar. The difference in how Sephiroth uses Flame Pillar in FM is probably the main reason why many have considered him tougher to fight in FM.

    Fun fact, the time it takes for Sephiroths retaliations to play out is much faster in khfm when compared to vanilla, where as in vanilla ps2 days there was a lot more time to respond to a retaliation coming as his teleport was a bit slower.

    Great guide! I agree with everything here except the jumping to avoid his basic attacks. Maybe it's my more aggressive playstyle but instead of jumping to avoid them I just time/block and punish them with guard. I also think it's easier to just time your blocks for chaotic dance instead of memorizing a dodge pattern for it - save for the last strike which I can use dodge roll to reposition and attack again. I also use the 3+4 combo method and recommend the finisher Blitz.

    I did it, I defeated Sephiroth! After so many tries I have finally beat him!! Your guide was very hopeful but I defeated him with Divine Rose because of its high-deflection I was able to stagger him on phase 1 and phase 3. Phase 3 was still the hardest because he can teleport behind you which you don’t stand a slim chance against. Apparently your guide seems to have missed his rushing towards you while the orbs surround him and he teleports behind you to use his attack in Phase 3! He does this multiple times and sadly I wasn’t able to avoid his hits. So I was using Curaga a lot to avoid dying from his sneak attacks! I was playing the vanilla PS2 version so his attack pattern maybe different from Final Mix. It looks like they either removed that sneaky spin attack in FM or you may have overlooked it somehow. I also noticed in the vanilla version he doesn’t spam Heartless Angel in consecutive times in Phase 3. He only casts it occasionally but usually after Chaotic Dance.

    I have beaten Sephiroth before just one time and I can't tell you how many tries it took me before I finally defeated him. To me he is the hardest boss to defeat in the kingdom hearts series. I would recommend that you be at at least level 80 or higher than that to fight him. Level 100 is probably your best bet and it is probably best to use the Ultima Weapon.

    Never managed to beat him in the PS2 original. Part of the problem back then is I was underleveled, refused to abuse elixirs, only had the Oblivion key, the base wind shield, but most of all I treated it like a game I could simply get better at through skill. It would be like taking a level 1 WoW character against a raid boss without a party. I also refused to use walk-throughs or cheats, so the fact is I was figuring it out as I went and would't have access to the best post game content. But thh I'm not sure I want to go back, the controls are also super clunky and the gear/levels matter more then skill, it is NOT Metal Gear Rising, much less a Soulsbourne.

    Im doing a level 1 run of Sephiroth and one issue i seem to keep running into is how to deal with his counters. For example in the video you mentioned how Sephiroth will counter after the 7th and 4th hits but i keep running into a problem with dealing with said counters. I avoid the 4 hit counters entirely, but when i reach the 7th hit, he becomes invincible and either immediately uses Fire pillar or one of his slashes before the actual counter. Avoiding those and finding a way to survive is my main issue any advice? Which depending on the timing can kill me if i get unlucky. Which sums up a major problem i seem to keep having the unlucky moments in phase 1 and 2.

    Yes! The 7-hit counter was my biggest challenge in avoiding damage. If he immediately puts up the flame pillars on your 7th hit, it's REALLY difficult to get away (using Strike Raid is great if you have the MP). I feel like I had a better chance at escaping when my 7th hit was part of a low midair combo, then I could hit the ground and dodge roll away at a specific angle. I believe one of WillJV2's LV1 videos shows this in action! 👍

    @@KHGuidesThanks for reply! I actually had that happen once but it's too tight timing and luck based to replicate if at all. Btw I noticed something in his pattern which isn't in your video and I felt the need to share it. During my level 1 run I have noticed that on his first phase (possible the entire fight), Sephiroth punishes you for missing attacks. For example if i land two 3 hit combos and then go in for the 7th hit, he may randomly jump out of the way. Even if i catch him immediately after he will VERY QUICKLY use 1-2 slash attacks in quick succession and then go into Fire pillar ignoring the normal rotation and his own pattern. The same happens when i do a ground combo only for it to miss the 2nd hit onwards. The only way around this in phase 1 is to run away and keep your distance until he flame pillars.

    @@KHGuides I also noticed he does this and casts Flame pillar if you are ever hit by his non counter attacks, like his normal slashes. He also seems to do it when you attempt an air combo, land and do an incomplete ground one like 2 hits in the air and then one on the ground.

That's good for 3-4 Strike Raids per full MP bar. Even if you load yourself with elixirs, you're still gonna need to focus more on dodging/blocking/countering Sephy's attacks than just spamming Strike Raids on him.

    Sephiroth as a concept is so interesting because he's leagues more powerful than any other boss by far. The speed of which he moves, his attack variety, the outright insane amount of damage he's able to commit, it's almost like he's from a completely different game.

    I know this video is a year old, but I'm going to add my own tips and tricks since I literally just beat this fight and it only took me about 4 tries. I had already synthesized the Ultima Weapon Keyblade, so I don't know if this works for all the Keyblades, but you can actually just continue to parry almost all of Sephiroth's attacks except for the area of effect ones like the explosions, the meteors, descend heartless angel, or his dark energy orbs. Literally you just need combo master, leaf bracer, elixirs(if you don't have those megaelixirs work too) and curaga magic. Once you parry his attacks you can either attack stagger him and then if he teleports to do a sword swing from above at you, you can either dodge roll out of the way or choose to take the hit(granted my level was in the high 80s when I did this fight so I probably had the advantage) and if he does his explosion attack, it will damage you twice, and you can use curaga on either of them for the I-frames then get some more free damage immediately after. It's possible this is because I was so high level and had the best keyblade in the game, but he only ever used Descend Heartless Angel 3 times and only one of the times I wasn't able to stagger him before he finished casting it and the halo appeared. But yeah, literally just keep attacking and parrying him and then staggering him and then dodging when he teleports to swipe you from above, then using curaga to avoid his high damage, area of effect, or and try to avoid getting caught in his Descend Heartless Angel, then you should be good. If you have a ton of health like I did you can take about 4-5 hits from most of his attacks before you even need to heal(except for the meteors, they'll get you in about 2-3 hits). Good luck fellow Keyblade Warriors.
