Nice video brother. I would've mentioned Aeroga to make things smoother but I guess saving the magic works too

[@NightSprinter]

Pat Daddy [edited to correct my derp from mixing games up from memory) for Ultima Weapon, you need to synthesize the 30 items in the game, and acquire the materials to Synthesize the Ultima Weapon itself. Sadly, this does involve fighting the black mushroom Heartless, and playing a game with the white ones to get certain materials. Good luck in Final Mix, as you have to go after yet ANOTHER mushroom Heartless for the Serenity Powers that version needs. Original KH is 5x of Lucid, Power, and Thunder Gems, and 3x of Mystery Goo and Gale. FM is 5x Mystery Goo and Thunder Gem, and 3x of Serenity Power, Stormy Stone, and Dark Matter according to the guides.

@@NightSprinter what Kei said but to clarify. They're saying that what you said was the instructions for 2.5. For 1.5, you need to synthesize everything (30 different things) before you can fuse ultima

@@Wayfinder137 Yeah, I see what you're saying. Tough part is fighting Black Fungus enough (without getting rekt) to get 5x Mystery Goo as part of the 21 ingredients needed once you are able to synthesize.

[@SonicXD81]

I already love this series because I've never seen anything like this before. Usually when I see people do something like this, the only effort I see is when they actually fight the boss. They may showcase the abilities that they have used during the fight, but with this, I see the quality and effort everywhere. It even taught me some things like Sephiroth's health; I'd never knew it went over the limit then what the game displayed. Good Job man!

[@Soraalam1]

Thanks! :)

[@yeahthatsmax]

***** Questions , i love ur channel btw How long did it take you to get to lvl 100 and what did you do? Was proud mode hard ? Lol how long did it take you? Will you platinum KH2 and what is ur fav kh game mine is II. How many tries did it take you for Sephiroth and Xemnas on 1

[@mastergamerkidtv6745]

“XBOX VICTORY EAT A BEAR LEMON TEA SEPHIROTH by the way thank you so much for helping me in this battle 👍

[@justmiah8294]

Yooo 😆😆

[@notforvideos]

Thanks Dean, this is so convenient as I'm in the process of getting Elixirs to take on Sephiroth. I've been lazy about these optional bosses, all I have now are Sephiroth and Xemnas to beat. Do Xemnas next I guess. This will be an awesome series for KH2FM.

[@Soraalam1]

What a coincidence! I'll be sure to keep the series running strong for when 2.5 releases! :)

[@WhiteWolfLXVII]

dat trap attack that xemnas does is so annoying but i have beaten all the bosses and waiting for 2.5 to come out

[@LyfjaSSB]

***** I see you forgot the Strike Raid option for Omnislash(Sephy starting to hover above you and slash like crazy). If he starts using it, just activate Strike Raid and Omnislash is rendered harmless.

[@charlesg7926]

As hard as Sephiroth is, Xemnas is way harder. Sephiroth becomes beatable to reasonably good (but not great) players around level 70 to 75… Xemnas isn’t really beatable until level 90+

[@Sunkhrist]

I know its only a recommendation, but I used the Olympia keyblade to block his attacks better and to get a long enough reach because Diving Rose has too short of a range for me. Other than that, I beat him around level 48 I think~ :) thanks for the tip tho!

[@tylersprouse6861]

Take Lionheart if you’re going to play that route. I believe it’s got a slightly longer reach along with giving you extra magic

[@MithrilRoshi]

I know this is many years old but I am so thankful for it. I got so bored grinding these damage sponge bosses I just had to watch this instead.

[@PrototypeQZ]

Definetly the best Sephiroth guide! Some suggestions for this series are: Lingering Will (Terra), Mysterious Figure (Xemnas), Young Xehanort, Vanitas Reminant, Phantom, Ice Titan, Kurt Zisa,and Rock Titan.

[@bigbang3662]

I kno this was 3 years ago. But. Rock Titan. This bish was tryna be funny right?

[@hutao5929]

*shrugs* Chill man. I know it's easy but maybe they a beginner? Who knows

[@thepanis696]

Dante Kaibara by the time you got to rock Titan you had to beat cloud and Leon which were way harder

[@zichithefox4781]

I know this is a century late. You literally just beat the shit out of Rock Titan. Hit his ankles until he trips, climb up and just WAIL on his two heads. At low health one of the heads (usually the left) will try to hit you. Just switch to the other head and keep wailing. With good equipment and weapons you can beat him in under a minute. With 4000xp per fight, it's an extremely fast way to level up.

[@PrototypeQZ]

@@zichithefox4781 thanks, I've done it a few times in the last 7 years.

[@carlplaysgames6012]

He has too much health to display?! I knew he was bullshit

[@victorpleitez8867]

Sora: scan says it over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yat282]

A few bosses have that

[@bubbleteacore]

If Sephiroth looks too far away for you to get him during Heartless Angel, just get far away so he can't hit you while you're using an Elixir.

[@charlesg7926]

Another thing that this video didn’t mention is superglide. I feel like super glide is actually FASTER than the slide attack… it’s also more reliable (since sometimes the slide stops short).

[@DennyAyard]

The fight felt easiest and faster if I just depended on Sliding Dash for deflecting his attacks and leaving him open. For his 2nd phase (his runner phase), I would just wait for him to begin approaching me head on, and then I'd use slashing dash to avoid damage from his slash. Afterwards, I usually was able to land a complete combo on him. Sometimes he'd transition to to the flame attack after the deflection, but Strike Raid and Leaf Bracer make that not a problem. Strike Raid can also be used to avoid his multi-slash attack. If you're good with delaying the raids, you can clip him with the Strike Raid finisher after he finishes the attack. Additionally, if you're feeling patient, you can power level by equipping Tech Boost multiple times and repeatedly fighting the Ice Titan with the Shiva Belt and Ribbon equipped.

[@KevvoLightswift]

Thanks for this. I needed a comprehensive reminder guide. I'm just getting back around to playing KH1, and I remember grinding something like 30 levels to the cap just beating him over and over again in my first run through.

[@NemesisMKIII]

I would also recommend that if you are having a hard time with his raw damage and not the Angel attack, equip Darkness defensive equipment, as all of his attacks do dark damage.

[@vera4367]

I know this is a somewhat older video of yours but with this strategy I managed to give my boyfriend a heart attack *ahem* managed to defeat Sephiroth for the first time ever and cheered quite loudly. Thank you!

[@THAToneGUY594]

Another tactic you can use that I've actually not seen on any walkthrough for this battle is to use strike raid when sephiroth uses the flame piller attack and also when he goes berserk, using strike raid makes you invulnerable while you are using it and also causes a fair amount of damage on sephiroth. It also only uses a small amount of mp so you can use it a few times in a row. At least this is how I defeated him at lvl 58 with the lionheart keyblade

[@LydieCakes]

I am going to try Ur method. I'm lvl 100 (no Ultimite yet) and cant seem to beat him for the life of me. Im pretty damn frustrated.

[@smoreblox3485]

Breaking this fight down into 3 parts really helped me out. Thanks for the guide, bro!

[@stevenkaiser2607]

6 years late to your video and like 20ish years late to Kingdom Hearts as a whole, I've never played, but I picked up the entire series for a killer steal of $25 on PSN and I'm Platinuming the whole series. This video helped immensely with beating him. 5 trophies tied up behind this fight popped for me when I beat him. I appreciate you!

[@DaRaginLombax]

Sepheroth is actually really easy once you beat him a couple times; I used he and the Ice Titan to grind from 80 ish to 100

[@charlesg7926]

Agreed. Unknown (mysterious figure) is way harder, bcuz it’s more chaotic, the attacks do more damage, the damage is more constant, and also he has that shock/release attack that is like instant death if you can’t click the right button

[@DazzzTube]

If only there were battles with this level of depth on KH3 :(

Thanks to this guide, i beat sephiroth on my 2ND ATTEMPT!!! I think it also helps that I was level 100 but thank you so much for this guide! KH2 sephiroth took me only two days, and that one I wasn’t max level at all which i think made it more difficult.

at the start of the battle Sephiroth does his intimidation glare and intimidation music. assuming your head doesnt explode outright from that then we can begin the battle. stage one

[@Mayonettaugh]

i couldnt beat it with your help anything is possible the lingering will sephiroth thank you for all you effort you will always be remembered in the kingdom of my heart

[@_kevin_]

Excellent guide. Thanks to it I could beat Sephiroth extremely easily. I would just recommend also removing finisher abilities such as Stun Impact, Zantetsuken and Gravity Break which don't work on bosses and they just slow you down, leaving a window of opportunity to the boss for retaliation.

[@diextia]

Already beat all of the optional hard bosses on my copy, but i can't wait to use this series to my advantage for 2.5. Hope you keep this series running for a while. This was a good idea!

[@UndefinedEssence]

Wow, I seriously struggled with this one. I was even at level 100 and had the Ultima Keyblade. I used every single Elixir and at the end I was just slashing away because he was only a few hits away and it was try or die, lol. Thank you for the video, I couldn't execute the techniques perfectly, but it helped A LOT.

[@SuperHexer123]

i love the idea of this series and also i find it funny how people say the KH1 sephy is harder than the kh2 one because the one from KH1 took me 3 attempts with the ulima weapon and being lvl 65 to beat and the kh2 one took me 3 years with being lvl 99 and having the ultima weapon

This should be a good series, i think once u go into the other Kingdom Hearts games and other game series in general, it'll be really popular on ur channel and a huge help to people, good job on this video btw

[@RegalRose88]

You want to lengthen your combo rather than shorten it. Short combos mean he'll use flame pillar more. And strike raid is the best way to interrupt heartless angel Saying that this video did help me a lot! It was really useful to know the best times to attack him and the signals of each phase. Especially phase 2 as I'd be unprepared for his first heartless angel

[@eduardomacena3848]

Oh my god! This was just what I was looking for, one view at this video and I beat Sephiroth in no time! Thank you very, very much Soraalam1!

[@CSquare324]

Much appreciated. I've NEVER beat this boss before. So we'll see how this strategy works. Looks pretty good to me. Thanks for this video!

[@dinodisneylover1]

One method, that I use a lot to beat Sephiroth in the first game, is the Strike Raid ability. It can help you and you'll be safe against many of his deadly attacks when you use it. Pack as many elixirs and megalixirs as possible.

[@Scarecrow6459]

Just too notch stuff! I remember trying to fight this guy as a kid and thinking it was impossible. This made things a lot easier, and great presentation btw!

[@AkaruiSora]

Another thing to note during Sephiroth's Meteor attack, using Strike Raid and being a bit 'slow' on the button presses is a good way to avoid damage during the entire attack. It won't do any damage to him, of course, but you'll be safe. Also, Aero Spells can reduce the damage done to you, but you won't be able to hurt him with the -ra and -ga wind shears.

[@realathen700]

This video made it tons easier !!!! Thank you !!!!

[@chazdrain1048]

Thanks for the video. I was having trouble with this guy but after this video I finally beat him. Thank you. Can't wait for more secret boss fights or different boss battles videos.

[@xgnik5334]

I was only 10 when I first fought Sephiroth. At the time, I just equipped whatever was new thinking I'd always be stronger. After about 12 or so attempts, I learned just about all his movements and was really good at timing when to attack. I beat him after a couple more tries. I'd never felt so stressed about a boss battle before. Side Note: This battle was the first time I'd ever heard or seen Sephiroth. I thought it was Riku with a new form at first since he looked very similar.

[@TheBlackKakashi]

After reaching level 100 and beating the other secret bosses I've finally beat him. The key for me was switching keyblades because Divine Rose wasn't getting the job done, I used the keyblades that dealt with mp and critical damage (Lion heart). First attempt I got him close to green but that stupid health and mp goes to 0 move got me. Second attempt he tried it again but before he could do it I would super glide to him and attack before he can cast it. Long story short I won.

[@David-lu4th]

Good shiet, just got my angus pounded by him within 30 seconds of my first attempt so things are looking good so far

[@axinhedgelion8417]

If you time Curaga right, you can heal to negate heartless angel, but have no MP, I speak from experience. But I only pulled it off once, so it’s tight timing

[@JessieGeorge]

Same, I missed stunning his attack and saw that red ring of death. 😶 By some miracle, I timed the elixir and dodge perfectly just that one time and he thankfully never did that attack again for the rest of the fight. This... today, was my first time beating him, lmao! 🥲

Also in "stage one" you can actually jump over those slashes and hit him without waiting for him to come to you.

I've chosen the shield in the beginning, so I couldn't have MP rage. I was level 74 and used Oblivion Keyblade equipped with two cystal crowns and one cosmic arts. I also unequipped Stun Impact and it was better to land combos on Sephiroth. Other than that, 7 elixir saved my life.

[@block36079]

A lot of your numbers are messed up but I still got and I must say, worth it

[@darthreven9061]

Thanks for the guide I beat him first try on proud. So I’m pretty proud of my self

[@thekbot1155]

I found a way to get more damage done to him. Glide around him until after he attacks, then the moment the animation stops do an air combo. The first time you jump in to attack, you can get a full air combo on him by short-hopping before he teleports behind you and you should have plenty of time to jump over it. The next time you go to attack you'll only have three hits before he spawns the flames, but if you stop after the third hit you'll be able to glide away way before he recovers and does the flames. If you don't have Leaf Bracer during his Spirit Bomb-like attack, make sure you have close to full health and try to superglide away instead. If you have Second Chance you should have plenty of time to heal after the attack because he'll be resting. Other than that, that's all :P

[@mangekyo13]

When he does his invincible sword slash combo,my trick is to time your dodge roll and roll towards him when he starts attacking,after three slashed he will start again dashing towards you,use dodge roll again.Do this three times and then use your healing spell before he does the final strike and you should be safe. After a few tries you will get the timing for this and it will be a free hit combo for you.

[@tinygingervitus]

It took me 7 tries, but I beat him! Loaded up with elixirs and spammed strike raid. That near insta kill move was the pattern I had to familiarize myself with to interrupt him from a distance with strike raid.

[@TheCheezwiz1]

I like how in the vid when he’s going over sephiroth’s flurry slash whatever prepare yourself shenanigans he says either dodge or block right when strike raid was highlighted… that’s what I used and somehow managed to do this fight without looking at a guide but figured I’d check after the fact anyways, but yeah that little bit with strike raid made me laugh

Thanks alots this is sooo much helpful I finally defeated him for the first time in my life yayy

[@mitchellbroadbent6200]

Another way you can avoid the lava counter thing is by using strike, it goves you invincibility, also it takes 7 hits before sephiroth will counter with it so the moment you hit the 7th time you use strike straight after the counter wont hit

[@mitchellbroadbent6200]

The same works for the prepare yourself, using strike raid gives you invincibility
