Sephiroth is, of course, from Final Fantasy VII. He is the game's hardest Boss. It took me three hours to beat him, and I used a variety of different strategies, but the one that follows is, in my opinion, the best. Make sure that you have ALL of the above abilities equipped, and that ALL of your item slots are filled with ELIXIRS.

Sephiroth's sword is HUGE, and it has an enormous range. He will teleport around the arena, mostly in an attempt to get behind you. Always be on your guard. Speaking of Guard, you shouldn't have it with you in this battle, because very few of Sephiroth's blows can be deflected. Huge pillars of fire will form around Sephiroth. This doesn't make him invulnerable, and you can attack him as soon as it's over, during it, if you have a lot of HP.

Sin Harvest is Sephiroth's most terrible attack. He will float in the air and hit you with an ultra-powerful spell that will reduce your MP to 0, and your HP to 1. If second Chance isn't equipped, then Sin Harvest will kill you instantly. Use Strike Raid to
interrupt Sin Harvest.

Remember the Omnislash that Cloud used to cream Sephiroth at the end of Final Fantasy VII? Well, the Great White-Haired One has decided to add that awesome move to his repertoire. He performs a frenzied series of sword slashes, but they don't stun you, and you can escape quite a bit of damage by using Dodge Roll, or casting CURE right in the middle of the assault. About halfway through the fight,
Sephiroth will surround himself with orbs. He will come after you, performing sword slashes and transporting. This attack doesn't do that much damage, but it can incapacitate you long enough for Sephiroth to get in some good hits.

In the last act, Sephiroth will blend all of his attacks together, and introduce a new one. Meteors form above his head, and spin around him, damaging you if they make contact. Then, they turn into one big meteor, which comes after you. During this phase, he is invincible.

Basically, as long as you don't rush things, and are well-prepared, victory will be in your grasp.
