================================================================ ============================================= FINAL FANTASY VII Final Fantasy VII BOSS FAQ v1.0 For the PC and Playstation By Ward Unpublished work Copyright 2000 Ward This FAQ is what it says. It is a FAQ on how to defeat all the bosses including the ‘Weapons’. It lists all you might want to know. The Level, HP, MP, weaknesses, what you get, when you fight it, its attacks, and of course how to defeat it. Guard Scorpion Level: -- HP: 800 MP: 0 Weak: Lightning Win: Assault Gun Occurrence: Makou Power Plant / Disc 1 Attacks: Search Scope = 0 HP Machine Gun = 30+ HP Tail Laser = 75+ HP All you do is have Cloud use Bolt and have Barret attack. When it lifts its tail, use potions to heal then resume attacking when its tail is down. Air Buster Level: 15 HP: 1200 MP: 0 Weak: Lightning Win: Titan Bangle Occurrence: Makou Power Plant 5 / Disc 1 Attacks: Machine Gun = 50+ HP Counter Machine Gun = 20+ HP Big Bomber = 80+ HP Have Cloud use Bolt, Barret use Ice, and have Tifa heal everyone. Also use Limit Breaks whenever possible. I would mostly have Cloud attack it with Bolt because his Limit Break is stronger. Aps Level: 18 HP: 1800 MP: 0 Weak: Fire Win: Phoenix Down Occurrence: Wall Market Sewers / Disc 1 Attacks: Attack = 30+ HP Sewer Tsunami = 80+ HP / 30+ HP to him Reverse Sewer Tsunami = 80+ HP / 15+ HP to him Have Cloud use Fire, Aeris use her Healing Wing Limit Break, and have Tifa attack and use her Limit Break. This Boss is a pushover so don’t worry. Reno Level: 17 HP: 1000 MP: 0 Weak: Ice Win: Ether Occurrence: Sector 7 pillar Attacks: Pyramid = Imprisons ally, attack ally to set free, if he imprisons all your allies you loose Spark Bolt = 100+ HP This is a tuffy. Have Cloud use Ice, Tifa attack/use Limit Breaks, Barret attack/use Limit Breaks. Attack your ally the second they get ‘Pyramid’, and use Potions and Restore Materia to heal your HP. HO512 / HO512 – OPT Level: 19 HP: 1000 MP: 120 HO512 – OPT Level: 7 HP: 300 MP: 50 Weak: Fire, Lightning Win: Talisman Occurrence: Shinra HQ, floor 68 / Disc 1 Attacks: Poison = Poisons all characters Have Cloud use Bolt, have Barret(if you chose Tifa to guard Aeris) attack, and have Red13 use Fire. Don’t worry about getting poisoned, it doesn’t take off that much. This is yet another pushover battle. Hundred Gunner Level: 18 HP: 1600 MP: 0 Weak: Lightning Win: ---- Occurrence: Shinra HQ Elevator / Disc 1 Attacks: Heat Blasts = 125+ HP Machine Gun = 80+ Have Barret attack, Aeris use Bolt and her Limit Break, and have Red13 use fire. This boss will go down in no time. Heli Gunner Level: 19 HP: 1000 MP: 0 Weak: Lightning Win: Mythril Armlet Occurrence: Shinra HQ Elevator / Disc 1 Attacks: Machine Gun = 120+ HP Start off by using Restore magic on everyone because you may be low on health after the last battle. Use you same tactics here as before except you need to Heal often. Rufus / Dark Nation Level: 21 HP: 500 MP: 0 Weak: Poison Win: Protect Vest / Guard Source Occurrence: Shinra HQ, top floor / Disc 1 Attacks: Barrier MBarrier Gun = 120+ Start off by killing the Dark Nation(One attack will do it). Afterwards cast Poison magic on Rufus and pummel away with physical attacks and Limit Breaks. Use Restore Magic when needed. Motor Ball Level: 19 HP: 2600 MP: 120 Weak: Lightning Win: Star Pendant Occurrence: Midgar Highway / Disc 1 Attacks: Firethrower = Death Flying Fire = Death Fire Sweep = 220+ HP Cloud should have and use Bolt and Ice. Barret should have and use Restore with All. And Aeris should use her Limit Break. This boss I think is the hardest in the game. Start the battle by using the Restore magic(you’ll know when you see it). Have Cloud use Bolt and Ice every turn, have Barret use Restore every turn, and have Aeris use her Limit Break. Midgar Zolom (Optional) Level: 26 HP: 4000 MP: 350 Weak: Ice Win: ---- Occurrence: Marsh near Chocobo farm / Disc 1, 2, 3 Attacks: Bite = 500+ HP Tail Swipe = Knocks one ally out of battle Beta = 1000+ HP Early in the game it is highly likely that you won’t be able to defeat him so I would wait until after Rocket Town to try and battle him. Of course I didn’t and leveled for hours before hand just for fun, but most likely in your case wait until then. Anyway, you would have Cloud use Ice, have Aeris heal with the Healing Wind, and preferably have Red13 in your party because I like him ?. Make sure you an Enemy Skill equipped so you can learn Beta, and also have the person(s) that have the Enemy Skill on to have an Elemental on linked with fire in your armor so you can at least halve the damage taken(500+ instead of 1000+). Bottomswell Level: 23 HP: 2500 MP: 100 Weak: Lightning + Poison Win: Power Wrist Occurrence: Junon Town / Disc 1 Attacks: Waterpolo = bubble that reduces a characters HP, attack with magic Big Wave = 300+ This is simple, Have Cloud use Bolt, have Barret use Poison, and have the third character heal the party. When it uses the Waterpolo have Barret or Cloud use the magic they have equipped. JENOVA*BIRTH Level: 25 HP: 4000 MP: 110 Weak: Earth, Fire, Ice Win: White Cape Occurrence: Shinra Cargo Ship / Disc 1 Attacks: Terror Laser = 350+ Double Laser = 500+ Stop = Stops ally At the beginning of the battle use the Shiva summon, Quake magic, Ice magic, and Fire magic. Your top priority is to keep your HP up so even when your HP is mildly low, use Restore materia. Try not to depend on one character too much and mix the magic materia around just in case JENOVA uses Stop. When you run low on HP just use physical attacks and Hi-Potions to keep your HP up and still inflict damage. Dyne Level: 23 HP: 1200 MP: 20 Weak: ---- Win: Silver Armlet Occurrence: Gold Saucer Desert / Disc 1 Attacks: Shot = 400+ MegaShot = 450+ This is easy, just have Barret use a summon and just have Dyne attack you. Use Restore materia and when your limit meter is full use the Big Shot. Reno / Rude Reno: Level: 22 HP: 2000 MP: 80 Weak: ---- Win: X-Potion Occurrence: Gongaga Attacks: Punch = 400+ Rude: Level: 22 HP: 2000 MP: 140 Weak: ---- Win: ---- Occurrence: Gongaga Attacks: Spark = 300+ Cure2 At the start of the battle use summoning materia to inflict heavy damage and use magic to inflict more damage. Go after Rude first because he can Cure both of them by a pretty good amount. This battle isn’t too hard but very difficult if at a low level. Gi Nattak Level: 29 HP: 5500 MP: 200 Weak: Ice + Lightning Win: Wizer Staff Occurrence: Cosmo Canyon Cave / Disc 1 Attacks: Soul Fire = Continues fire attack on one character Fire2 = 300+ Don’t worry about the Soul Fires just use Shiva summon and Ramuh summon along with Limit Breaks and other magic. Have Cloud use his limit break and Ice magic along with Shiva. Have Aeris use her Healing Wind limit and Cure spells. And have RedXIII use his limit break along with Ramuh summon and lightning magic and this boss will fall fairly quickly. Materia Keeper Level: 38 HP: 8400 MP: 300 Weak: Ice Win: Jem Ring Occurrence: Mt. Nibel / Disc 1 Attacks: Stab = 300+ Maul = 800+ Cure = 1000+ Trine = 500+ All Make sure you have the Enemy Skill equipped so you can learn the Trine spell. This battle is very very hard so sneak in front of him to the save point because I’m most positive you will die at least once before defeating him if you’re not at a decent level. RedXIII’s Level 1 / Break 1 works very well as does Clouds Cross-Slash(Level 1 / Break 2), but his Blade Beam is better if you have it(Level 2 / Break 1). Make sure you have Aeris use her Healing Wind Limit every chance you get and try to have Cure2 linked with an All support materia on more than one character. All your characters should at least have some kind of Cure spell linked with an All if you can manage. Just stick with physical attacks and Limit Breaks and save the MPs for Healing the party. I can’t say this boss will fall quickly but if you stay on your toes you can beat him. Palmer Level: 38 HP: 6000 MP: 240 Weak: ---- Win: Edincoat Occurrence: Rocket Town / Disc 1 Attacks: Makou Gun = 300+ Palmer is a pushover. Have Cloud use Blade Beam whenever possible, have Aeris use Healing Wind Limit, and have the 3rd person use Haste linked with All. Use Cure2 linked with All whenever your HP gets low and Palmer will fall quickly. Red Dragon Level: 39 HP: 6800 MP: 300 Weak: ---- Win: Dragon Armlet Occurrence: Temple of the Ancients / Disc 1 Attacks: Attack Bite = 400+ -=cough=-, pushover, -=cough=-. Yet another easy battle. Use summon materia except for Kjata because it will heal him for 2100 HP. Cast Haste with All, and then cast Slow on him and just pummel him with physical attacks and Limit Breaks. Demons Gate Level: 45 HP: 10000 MP: 400 Weak: ---- Win: Gigas Armlet Occurrence: Temple of the Ancients / Disc 1 Attacks: Cave-In = 1000+ Demon Rush = 1200+ Swipe = 300+ As if the Materia Keeper wasn’t hard enough, jeez. Start off the battle by Casting Barrier and Haste on yourselves. Use Aeris’ Healing Wind Limit. Use Clouds Level 2 Break 2. Use Cure2~Cure3 spells as much as possible and nail this bastard with the Bahumut summon. This is a very hard battle and you top priority is to keep your HP up considering he uses the Cave-In and Demon Rush attack every time you attack with a physical attack?. Good luck I might add?. JENOVA*LIFE Level: 50 HP: 10000 MP: 300 Weak: Earth Win: Wizard Bracelet Occurrence: Forgotten City / Disc 1 Attacks: Reflect Swipe = 400-700+ Aqualung = 1500+ Stop Make sure you have an Enemy Skill materia equipped so you can learn the Aqualung(way cool?). At the first turn of the battle use Comit and then no more attack spells because JENOVA will cast reflect. From then on use the Titan summon and Bahumut if you want. Barrier, Mbarrier, and Haste yourselves as well. Make sure you have Cure2~Cure3 linked with an All so you can heal yourselves when JENOVA casts Aqualung. Don’t depend on one charcter too much because JENOVA casts Stop. For the last boss on Disc1 this battle isn’t too hard. Schizo Right + Left head: Level: 43 HP: 18000 MP: 350 Weak: Right = Ice Left = Fire Win: Dragon Fang Occurrence: Great Glacier / Disc 2 Attacks: Fire Breath = 700+ Ice Breath = 700+ Bolt Ray = 1400+ All This guy is just annoying. Start the battle by using Mbarrier and Haste. Don’t bother with Barrier because he has no physical attacks. Your party should have the Bolt, Aurora, and Fire Armlets equipped so you can defend from its array of elemental attacks. As for summon spells, use only Leviathan and Bahumut. For magic spells use Quake2~3 and Comit. Keep your HPs up high and use Cure2~3 just about every battle round. You may just lose this battle but if you spent awhile leveling up in the room prior and using that healing lake and save point he should be no problem, if you didn’t then may god have mercy on your soul?. JENOVA*DEATH Level: 55 HP: 25000 MP: 800 Weak: Ice Win: Reflect Ring Occurrence: Nothern Crater / Disc 2 Attacks: Red Light = 500+ Silence Fire Bubbles = 450+ OK, this battle is a joke. First JENOVA has really sucky attacks but does Silence your party often. It uses the Red Light attack after being attacked with magic. Just do away with it with Bahumut and Neo Bahumut summons. Limit breaks whenever needed and Comit and Ice2~3 spells. Ultimate Weapon Level: ---- HP: 10000 MP: 400 Weak: ---- Win: ---- Occurrence: Mideel / Disc 2 Attacks: Quake2 = 500+ Ultima Beam = 800+ Claw Swipe = 450+ Yes another pushover I guess. This is a story battle so just do away with it with Bahumut and Neo Bahumut summons and physical attacks with Haste and Barrier. Carry Armor Level: 45 HP: 24000 MP: 200 Weak: Lightning Win: Gods Hand Occurrence: Underwater Makou Reactor / Disc 2 Right and Left arm: Level: 45 HP: 10000 MP: 100 Attacks: Imprisonment = Grabs and holds one of your ally’s, the damage you do to the arm is sustained 1/3rds of that to your ally. Lapsis Laser = 1600+ All Attack this bastards arms with Bolt2~3 linked an All so you can get all three parts of him. Barrier and Haste yourselves and if your ally dies while imprisoned with his arms then summon Phoenix. Try and keep your HPs up with Cure2~3 linked with and All and he shouldn’t be too hard. Rude / Attack Squad Rude: Level: 42 HP: 9000 MP: 250 Weak: ---- Win: S-Mine Occurrence: Rocket Town Revisited / Disc 2 Attacks: Jumping Wave = 500+ Bolt2 = 600+ Cure = 1100+ Attack Squad x2: Level: 34 HP: 1300 MP: 100 Weak: Everything? Win: ---- Occurrence: with Rude Attacks: Shot = 300+ Just have Cloud attack Rude, have your 2nd character use a Level 2 spell linked with All, and have your 3rd character use Cure2~3 whenever needed. When you kill the Soldiers Rude then starts to use Bolt2 and heals himself for 1100HP. Just then use Limit Breaks and Level 2~3 spells to finish him off. Diamond Weapon Level: ---- HP: 50000 MP: 3000 Weak: Lightning Win: ---- Occurrence: Midgar Area / Disc 2 Attacks: Laser Ray = 700+ Foot Stomp = 1000+ Diamond Flash = 3500+ The Diamond Weapon is immune to physical attacks(hints the name). Barrier yourselves and cast Tornado, Break, Bolt3, and Ultima. Just use these spells and probably Haste yourselves and Slow the Diamond weapon too. When his HP is low he will start a countdown from 5 and at the end he will cast the Diamond Flash which means death if you are not at a high enough level. Other than that he’s real simple. Elena, Reno, Rude (Optional if you did both Wutai side-quests) Elena: Level: 52 HP: 30000 MP: 300 Weak: Fire Win: Elixir Occurrence: Slums Subway tunnels / Disc 2 Attacks: Firebomb = 500+ Rude: Level: 51 HP: 28000 MP: 250 Weak: Ice Win: ---- Occurrence: With Elena Attacks: Punch = 2000+ Reno: Level: 50 HP: 25000 MP: 200 Weak: Fire Win: ---- Occurrence: With Rude Attacks: Spark Bolt = 800+ Start off the battle by casting Barrier and Haste. Use magic spells such as Tornado, Break, and Ultima. Use Level3 Limit Breaks. If you’re really down then use Phoenix summon, but be weary, it heals Rude by a substantial amount. Almost every attack round use Cure3 linked with All. This battle is very tough and you don’t have to fight it if you saved Yuffie and Elena in the second Side-Quest of Wutai. Proud Clod / Jamar Armor Level: 62 HP: 60000 MP: ---- Weak: Lightning Win: Ragnarok(cool ?) Occurrence: Midgar intersection / Disc 2 Attacks: Attack = 800+ Beam Cannon = 1100+ Materia Jammer = need I say more? Jamar Armor: HP: 20000 MP: 300 This is so easy, just do what you always do. Barrier and Haste yourself and destroy it with Bahumut, Neo Bahumut, and Bahumut Zero. Use spells like Flare and Ultima, Trine does the most(8000+) and use Cure3 linked with an All whenever your HP gets low. Hojo Hojo: Level: 50 HP: 13000 MP: 250 Win: Power Source Occurrence: Atop the Sister Ray / Disc 2 Attacks: Summon = Poodler Sample: HP: 10000 MP: 200 Bad Rap Sample: HP: 11000 MP: 120 Hellitic Hojo: Level: 55 HP: 26000 MP: 200 Attacks: Right Arm: HP: 5000 MP: 300 Left Arm: HP: 24000 MP: 400 Lifeform Hojo: (Hidden Stats). Damn, when Hojo starts out he summons two monsters to fight for him. Just use this time to power up. First Barrier and Haste yourselves, then get rid of the two monsters before taking Hojo out. He then transforms into Hellitic Hojo, at this time use Cure3 linked with an All to heal up and then take him out with Bahumut Zero and spells like Flare and Ultima. At which point he then transforms into the biggest hard-ass you’ll ever see, Lifeform Hojo. By this time you will most likely have to re-cast Barrier so do so, and cast Cure3 on yourselves. Take him out once again and use Esuna when he casts Poison, Silence, or Slow. Use spells like Flare, Ultima, Break, and Tornado along with the Trine Enemy Skill and the Bahumut Zero summon. This battle is one tough one. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Later versions shall be made in the near future Start: November 23, 2000 Finish: December 21, 2000 JPEG copyright, FFOnline @ www.ffonline.com
