Final Fantasy

[Harry_Salsamix]

Since many years ago that I wanted to play Final Fantasy VII, so I bought the game from PSN! The game is a masterpiece and I simply love it!

But... I've finally reached the final battle (I think it really is) and it's against Sephiroth.

Now, I've been investing hours and hours with this game, more or less 65 hours, and I have Cloud at level 75, and the rest of my "main" party is filled with Barret (level 73) and Red XIII (level 73). These levels happen when I start battling Sephiroth after I kill JENOVA.

However, Im having a very but VERY big problem... At first when I reached the Northern Crater (where all the final battles take place) I noticed that we can pick up an item on a chest that allows us to create just only ONE (!!!) Save Point at this place... So after some hours of battles to level up and finding all chests I created the only available Save Point right in the place where the entire group gets separated by choosing the members that go to the right and to teh left. Everyone else (except me, Barret and Red XIII) went to the right.

Now there's some possible hours of more battles (if I want to explore this well, which I do) and I can't simply save ANYMORE (unless if I go back to the Save Point...)!

There's 2 weapons that I find that look powerful, one for Barret and the another one is for Cloud (if I'm not wrong) but I didn't use them because both of them don't let the Materia (that gives us all the magic and spells energy) grow up and multiply...

So after some more hours of gameplay (without saving!) I've finally reached the giant hole to the lifestream where I could battle Sephiroth, but before that I still needed to reach the end and I had to battle against very big monsters including JENOVA herself. I've killed all of them and I've finally reached Sephiroth!

Now I have to admit that I did a giant mistake previously: when the members of the group got separated (at that Save Point I've mentioned) I didn't notice that everyone, besides my party, gets all of their Materia spheres retrieved so I should had to put all of them back into their weapons/armor/accessories, but I didn't... (how could I've guessed the game itself would do that).

Now finally, when I reach Sephiroth and before the battle begins the entire group is separated into two parties, my party is the usual one, and the other one is Cid, Vincent and Caith Sith (I let both Tifa and Yuffie outside of the battle).

Sephiroth tranforms into a giant monster with 3 "heads" (A, B and C), I've been beating the CRAP of him with attacks, summons, spells, magic, etc... EVERYTHING!

BUT... Sephiroth just keeps using that extremely lame "Bizzarro Enegy" (I think that they misspelled it and it was supposed to be "Energy"... whatever) to recover more or less between 6400 and 6800 HP (his own energy) and it's simply IMPOSSIBLE to beat him... He just keeps recovering and recovering while I destroy at least his A head but this one just keeps getting recoverd again... Head B is the one that I keep trying to destroy because Head C just eceives 0 damage...

How the hell can I beat him?! I basicly have all aeons except Bahamut Zero (I really never understood how could I get this one because the blue materia never everv appeared on that Buggenhagen machine), I have the spell "Ultima" that gives almost 500 HP of damage, I keep using all aeons from everyone but the ***** just keeps recovering!

All of this WITHOUT saving once! This was a really lame move from Square, because at least I would want to be able to save more than once and not having to repeat EVERYTHING again from the Save Point!

And why this extremely cheap shot with the Bizzarro "Enegy" of Sephiroth? This takes off a lot of the epicness of the battle because it's annoying and extremely unfair... and without letting us to save before the battle!

Can someone please help me and give me some hints? After hours and hours into this game I'm really concerned abeout this... Do I need to retire the Northern Crater? But I don't that's even possible...

Just to note that I never played the Chocob side quest, it was boring...

That isn't the final boss battle

After you fight him you will have to fight Safer Sephiroth which is 1,000,000 times harder than that fight.

Well basically go back to your save point and travel out of the North Crater

Go to the Gold Saucer and get Clouds final Limit Break, get your Limit Break ready in random battle encounters around Mideel.

Go fight Bizarro use Omnislash and he will die in one hit.

Scorpio, yes I know that. The One-Winged Angel doesn't even appear at this point.

That was helpful Scorps.

Edit - That's more like it chief

Hey I edited my reply

[Harry_Salsamix]

But is it really possible to get out from the Northern Crater again?

And how do I get the other Final Limit Breaks of the other characters?

[IXIScorpioIXI]

Yeah you can leave at any time

You can no longer get Barret's Ultimate Weapon as you can only find it if he is in your party before the fight with Hojo at the end of Disc 2.

However if you use the submarine you can find the Sunken Gelnika aircraft and that has many useful materia inside it especially 2x Cut which does double damage to enemies and 4x damage to enemies if you master it.

Also in the Northern Crater you can fight creatures known as Magic Pots and it is really worth time and effort as they each give you 10,000AP points per fight which will quickly master all your materia.

Actually I have that Ultimate Weapon! I got it before fighting Hojo! I also never used because the Materia can't grow up with this weapon.

I also have fought against those Magic Pots.. those ***** just keep getting me screwed with the Elixirs... LOL!

And where do I really can find the Sunken Gelnika aircraft?

And about the Last Limit Break of Cloud: you said I need to go to the Gold Saucer, but do Iautomatically receive it or do I need to do something else lke a quest or sort of?

[IXIScorpioIXI]

Right the Sunken Gelnika

If you haven't bothered with the Submarine and it is still outside Junon just drive straight ahead until you hit land (around the Gold Saucer) and then dive underwater. However watch out for Ultimate Weapon as it is the second hardest fight on the game (harder than one winged angel) and you should find a gap on the wall of the area of land, you should be able to spot a crashed airship and you just drive into it with your submarine to enter.

Cloud's Limit break, in the Gold Saucer go to the arcade place and win some points, then head to the battle arena and start fighting. You will need to amass 32,000 BP to buy Omnislash which believe me is easier said than done.

Thank you very much! Although just to say that at first when I did enter into teh Northern Crater I tried to get out again... but I couldn't. I reached the highest entrance but couldn't climb again to the top into the side of my airhip... Maybe I didn't try it very well...

However, youre saying that that fight againts Ultimate Weapon is even harder than One-Winged Angel's but it's only the second hardest one?

Which is the hardest fight in FFVII? I thought it was the one against Sephiroth...
