Here’s some advice for beating sephiroth, he’s a tool

It is recommended that the you be at very high level (possibly level 70 and up; he’s hard to defeat even at level 100). Make sure you equip Sora with Kelixirs in all of his item slots. You must have the Second Chance abilility equipped, too.

When the fight begins, jump away from Sephiroth and cast Aeroga. Sephiroth starts off with three different attacks. He walks around slowly and quickly swings his sword. When Sephiroth receives too much damage, he teleports behind you and strikes. When this occurs, immediately jump to avoid it. He will occasionally emit a pillar of flame. If you get caught in it, use the Ars Arcanum ability to inflict damage while you’re invincible. You can also perform the Strike Raid combo from a sage distance to inflict damage. Because Sephiroth teleports a lot, use the lock on feature to track him.

After you deplete his purple HP bar and begin depleting his pink HP bar, he will leap away and taunt you. Now he has another attack. After taunting you, he teleports away and casts a spell (you’ll hear him say “Sin Harvest”). It’s important to lock on to him and use the Super glide ability so you can strike to stop the devastating spell. If you don’t arrive in time, the spell will deplete all of your HP and MP as well as Aeroga. Try to Superglide away and use an Elixir, because he will attempt to finish you off. At the point, it becomes more difficult to hit him because he runs and lunges a lot. After depleting the pink HP bar and about half of the orange bar, e will jump away and then execute a flying flurry of attacks. It’s hard to avoid these attacks, so use Ars Arcanum or Sonic Blade to stem the tide.

When he reaches his yellow bar, he teleports repeatedly. This indicates that he’s going for his ultimate attack. Heal yourself and cast Aeroga. You can’t hurt him right now, so try to dodge the meteors. For the rest of the fight, he will attack with dark orbs of energy and a spinning aerial attack. Avoid the orbs and use Ars Arcanum or Sonic Blade when he lands.

sephorith! damn..hes the hardest u'll come across took me 3 intense tries! lol
umm, well be at least level 80, and:

Get at least four Elixirs to save yourself from Sin Harvest. Get Ethers to help you cast Cure and use abilities often. Get MP Rage, Haste, the combo pluses, Scan to see his life, Second Chance (essential), Guard, Dodge Roll, and anything that can hit him from a distance such as Vortex or Aerial Sweep. Do not worry about Counterattack, since he does not block attacks often. Finally, have Ars Arcanum and Ragarok. As for the Keyblade, have Divine Rose and better. Lion Heart works best if you do not have the Ultima Weapon. For Accessories, the Gaia Bangle is recommended as it will extend your life bar ten fold. Be at about level 80. Lock on to Sephiroth as soon as the fight begins. He has a very long reach with his sword, and on top of that, he is a speed demon. Attack him from above to start, then switch it to ground when he is vulnerable so you can do a combo. Do not try to avoid his Fire Pillar attack. Just take one it (which may not do too much) then use Arcanum or Ragarok. He will be too busy trying to sum up more fire to do anything else. Also, since you are using an ability, you will not take any damage while doing it. Sephiroth will then teleport, and you will lose your lock. Because of the bad camera angles, try running and jumping forward to avoid him. Regroup (heal) and go for another shot. Once you get him down a couple of bars, he will cast Sin Harvest. You will be reduced down to one HP and no NPpoints. Once you get hit by Sin Harvest, he will teleport somewhere behind you and finish the job. Run quickly, while at the same time, looking for one of those Elixirs. To avoid Sin Harvest completely, once he teleports, search for him. He is probably somewhere in a corner, ready to cast it. Run quickly interrupt his incantation by hitting him. Then, either guard, attack back, or run away. Repeat those steps and you will be fine. Finally, when Sephiroth is down to his normal green health, he will glow blue and cast like Meteor and another spell that circles the arena. Avoid the meteors as much as possible, healing when possible. Due to MP Rage, practically every time you get hit, you will have two thirds of one MP bar restored. Soon, you will be at 80% health with a full MP bar... Then, resume your attack with Arc Arcanum and Ragarnok again.

Note: Near the times Sephiroth does Sin Harvest, he also does a very powerful combo. Avoid getting hit by it.
