Final Fantasy 7 Boss Tips |
Bosses in FF7 always have been, and always will be a big pain in the ass. Even if you know how to kill them, they may still prove to be a problem in later games. D'oh! Because of this, I have decided to add a section to my site, giving you tips on how to kill them. At a later date, I may add in specific stratagies for each boss, but not at the moment: 1. Have full health and save before the fight. This is obvious. You don't want to spend half an hour to return to a boss to re-fight a boss once it kills you, just because the last time you saved was half-an-hour ago. There are usually save points near a boss, so save and use a Tent. 2. Try changing your characters (if you can) if you lose. You may find that Cloud, Red and Tifa work best against a boss than Cloud, Vincent and Yuffie. 3. Try using Hypers on your team, to get Fury. You will take more damage and deal less damage, but it does let your Limit Bar fill up faster. 4. Once you're outside the Gold Saucer, try and get hold of the enemy skill "Big Guard". It casts Wall (Barrier + MBarrier) and Haste all on your party, which is a big help. Try and get 3 Enemy Skills stones with Big Guard learned in all of them. 5. Also try and learn "White Wind". This heals your characters with the casters health e.g. if Cloud casts it with 3491 health, everyone will be healed by 3491. Also, it isn't affected by Reflect. 6. When you have it, use Regain-All on your party as well as Big Guard. It can really help in boss fights. 7. Save MegaElixirs for big boss fights, like against Ruby and Emerald WEAPON, and the final battles with Sephy. There's no point waisting them in early, easy boss battles. 8. Make sure that you can easily fight monsters in the area(s) around a boss. If you can't kill a boss, there's a chance that your levels are to low. If that is the case you will need to fight monsters to build up your level. With some bosses, their aren't any "local" monsters to fight. In this case, you'll need to make an "extra" save, so you can go back to an area before the boss, and fight monsters to build up your levels. 9. If a character's Limit Bar fills, and your almost at the boss, then save the Limit Break for the boss. They say if you leave a Limit Break and don't use it in battle, the bar will eventually start to empty, but this has never happened to me. If this does happen, get near the boss (and a save point if possible), and fight until the bar is full again. 10. Some people use attack in battle. I prefere to use magic and summons in battle, but I don't see anything wrong with using attack, especally if your attacks are strong, but you may want to leave them as a last resort if you run out of MP etc. 11. Use sense, and open the help window with Select. Once you've sensed a boss (or monster), select it with help window open, and you can see how much health they have left. Use this to help you judge how many more attacks you need to do before you win and 12. Heal often. Always try to have at least one menu open incase a boss does loads of damage (so you can heal). If a character dies, revive them A.S.A.P. If you don't you may loose the battle. I may include an actuall boss guide, but that won't happen until a later date. Sorry. |
