Safer Sephiroth HELP

[Jolb]

I'm stuck on Safer Sephiroth. Most of the things I aw online said things such a use Knights of the round and use ribbons but I don't have any of those things. I know u can morph the pot things for ribbons but I don't want to waste my elexirs. What do I do to beat him?

It's not the pots, you can morph master tonberries into ribbons. Also you can use the W-item bug to give yourself 99 elixirs as long as you have 2 of them for the bug to work.

KOTR isn't essential just makes the fight so much easier.
You can equip your group with the hades+added effect materia combination in your armor to protect against some of the status effects.

Keep wall up or big guard & use your strongest limit breaks & spells like comet, ultima etc. Bring a stack of remedies to cure any bad status effects too.

Depending on your lvs the boss's stats change. But I'd go & farm some ribbons since they protect against almost everything aside from slow & death.

It is difficult without at least one ribbon (which has given me a challenge to try it without).

Just a minor correction though LilG, you only need one of a particular item for the W-item bug to work.

Thanks Martin, I forgot about that, meant to edit it. It's such a handy bug.

This may be late. It's the last big battle, so don't be afraid to use everything you got. His special move (I think it's called super nova) brings your team to like 1/16 of their health. When that move comes, use a mega elixer/elixers. It will be like that move never happened. Use remedies, which will help against the frog and confuse status Safer Seph puts on your team. Also, I would not choose what action my party does to quickly. You might input a move and Super Nova may be casted before it. That move could have been used to use a mega elixer/ an elixer or a remedy. Don't be afraid to lay off the preassure either. From what I saw, he has no heals. So laying off the damage and healing up wouldn't do any harm.
Use Destruct materia and other items to break Safer Seph's barriers. I didn't attack while they where up, so I don't know how much damage they blocked.
If you're using Vincent, I would strongly advise against using his limit. Using it loses control of him, and you might need him to use mega elixers/ elixers.
I used my Northen Cave save point item when the team splits up, and I had about twenty tents. After getting my ass kicked by Safer Seph, I farmed up and used 18 tents. That leveled up my party up by 10 levels and got a good amount of items (remedies and other things), which helped a lot. Good luck man.

Thanks. A big part of the problem is I'm a bit underleveled I think

Eaiest way to do it, is to either get the Knight of the round materia, the master summon materia, or get your main party to 99. To get the knight of the round materia you have to breed a golden chocobo, to get the master summon materia you must either master every summon materia (including the knight of the round) or defeat emerald weapon which is much hard to do than beating any of the final boss forms. Which just leaves gettin everyone to 99, not actually that hard to do. just grind in the final area for a bit. made even faster with an exp-plus, and lour materia.
