Tips and Strategies

Midgar Expressway

Hug the Sides

HugtheSides.png

Cloud narrowly avoiding one of Motor Ball's electric bombs.

When you're hugging the sides of the road, it will make a scraping noise, but Cloud actually won't take any damage. This position can be advantageous for avoiding attacks, so stay close to the side when traps appear on the road.

The Truck

TheTruck.png
This Truck will spray you with gunfire out from one of its windows. When you're being targeted, move to the opposite window. Again, don't be afraid to hug the walls to dodge the bullets.

How to Win the Bike Minigame

Choose Who to Fight with Against Sephiroth

The party members who will join you during the battle against Sephiroth will be determined by a point system based on how they perform against the Whispers.

Action Points
Barret Tifa Aerith
Using an Ability, Spell, or Item 24 20 44
Using a Limit Break 120 100 220
Reducing any Whisper's HP to 0 and Staggering them 120 100 220
Finishing off Whisper Bahamut or Whisper Harbinger - 250 550

Boss Strategy Guide

Motor Ball

Motor Ball
MotorBall1.png
Where he Appears Weaknesses
Midgar Expressway None

How to Defeat Motor Ball - Key Points

  • Knock out each of its wheels to make it vulnerable
  • Brake when it prepares an attack
  • Hug the sides to avoid its electric bombs

How to Beat Motor Ball

Watch for Patterns

This is a very pattern-based fight, and once you've memorized Motor Ball's patterns, it's easy enough.

  • When he lifts his wheels in the air, brake before he slams them down to avoid it.
  • When he starts charging his flame blast attack, brake before it launches to avoid it.
  • When he starts shooting at you, press R1 to guard. This is the hardest attack to avoid taking damage from.
  • When he moves ahead, hug the sides to avoid his electric bombs.
  • Other than that, feel free to slash away! The Spinning Slash is great for filling his Focus Gauge.

Whisper Harbinger

Whisper Harbinger
Whisper Harbinger.png

End of the Road None

How to Defeat Whisper Harbinger - Key Points

  • Don't spend your powerful attacks until after Whisper Harbinger uses Intercession
  • When the smaller Whispers are staggered, hammer away
  • Deal enough damage when the smaller Whispers are Staggered to continue the fight

How to Beat Whisper Harbinger

The main rule of this fight is, ignore the big guy. Whisper Harbinger himself won't do much and he can't be hurt until the very end of the fight, even when Staggered. The key is to keep wailing on the smaller Whispers, and when you Stagger them, Whisper Harbinger will start taking damage, so aim to Stagger the smaller Whispers as much as possible to end this fight quickly.

Chapter 18: Sephiroth

Sephiroth
Sephiroth1.png
Where he Appears Weaknesses
End of the Road None

How to Defeat Sephiroth - Key Points

  • Don't use an Elemental Materia
  • Use Support Magic on Cloud
  • Hit him repeatedly when his Focus Gauge is high
  • Use Counterstance to reflect his blows

How to Beat Sephiroth

Compared to other boss fights, Sephiroth really isn't the hardest in the game. He mostly uses melee attacks, so use the Punisher Mode counter and Twin Stinger's Counterstance Ability to deal damage back to him when he hits you.

During the second and third phases of the fight, he'll often target one of your characters and attack them relentlessly. When this happens, switch characters and attack him with the other character with no repercussions.
