Besides the regular "random"
enemies are the bosses. These critters often deal more damage and are harder
to beat. Below is a list with all the bosses of Final Fantasy VII. The
WEAPONS are listed apart from this list since they are harder to beat.
Disc
1 Bosses
Guard
Scorpion
Picture
Hp/Mp: 800/0
This is the first boss you'll
encounter. Use normal attacks and lightning on it. When he raises his tail,
just wait or heal yourself. Whatever you do, don't attack! he will counter
with his taillaser. Simply wait until he lowers his tail. Then continue
attacking him.
Air
Buster
Picture
Hp/Mp: 1200/0
You'll attack this boss from
two sides. Simply attack with limit breaks and Lightning. You can attract
its attention when you attack him, so use this in your advantage.
Aps
Picture
Hp/Mp: 1800/0
This boss is fairly easy,
simply use Fire and normal attacks on him. He can attack using a tsunami,
but this hurts himself as well.
Reno
Picture
Hp/Mp: 1000/0
Reno can do a fair amount
of damage with his stick. Simply heal from time to time and attack him.
When he uses his pyramid attack, simply attack the one that is imprisoned.
If you don't do this, you can lose the game when all 3 are imprisoned.
HO-512
Picture
Hp/Mp: 1000/120
Ignore the little samples
in the front row. Focus all your attacks on the main boss. Use Fire and
Ice on him. When you get poisoned simply continue fighting. Heal when you're
low on hp.
Hundred
Gunner/ Heli Gunner
Picture
Hp/Mp:
1600/0 (Hundred)
Hp/Mp: 1000/0 (Heli)
Two bosses that come right
after each other. With both bosses, use lightning and long range attacks.
Red XIII's limit break work also well. Don't forget to heal with Aeris
from time to time. These two shouldn't be that hard.
Rufus/
Dark Nation
Picture
Hp/Mp: 500/0 (Rufus)
Hp/Mp: 140/80 (Dark Nation)
First cast Poison on Rufus
to speed up the amount of damage. Then kill the black Dark Nation
first. After that hit Rufus with everything you've got. Heal from time
to time and Rufus will board his helicopter and fly away.
Motorball
Picture
Hp/Mp: 2600/120
Attack this boss with Lightning
and Ice, keep your Hp up as well because this boss can attack with Fire
doing serious damage. After you've defeated this boss, you'll be out of
Midgar.
Bottom
Swayer
Picture
Hp/Mp: 2500/100
This boss flies so some characters
can hit it while others can't. Use limit breaks and spells to deal damage.
Poison works well against it. Should it cast a bubble around a character
cast a magic spell on the character and the bubble will disappear.
Jenova
Birth
Picture
Hp/Mp: 4000/110
The first of the Jenova incarnations.
Use everything you got against it except Poison. Keep your Hp up at any
cost because Jenova can attack with its laser which does lots of damage.
When you beat it, don't forget to pick up the Ifrit materia.
Dyne
Picture
Hp/Mp: 1200/20
Dyne is Barrets old buddy
who went crazy. Therefor Barret must face this boss alone. Use poison on
him and physical attacks. Since Dyne deals enough damage to fill your limit
bar, use limits as well. He's pretty easy to beat.
Rude
and Reno (Gongaga)
Picture
Hp/Mp: 2000/135 (Rude)
Hp/Mp: 2000/80 (Reno)
This is the first time you
will encounter these two. Use spells on them and take care of your own
Hp. They shouldn't be so hard. Use Choco/Mog as well to stop Rude.
Gi
Master
Picture
Hp/Mp: 5500/200
This boss main attacks are
done by his two flames. But he can also drain Mp from your characters.
Use summon spells like Shiva and Choco/Mog. Also attack with normal weapons.
Use all attacks on the Gi Master not on the flames.
Lost
Number
Picture
Hp/Mp:????/???
This boss can be avoided
in the game, however, you won't be able to get Vincent if you do so. To
beat this boss, use everything you have against him. Choco/Mog sometimes
stops him. Beware that he can become very powerful if you kill his below
part and let the top live.
Materia
Keeper
Picture
Hp/Mp: 8400/300
You can clearly see this
enemy coming. So if you're not ready, don't attack him yet. This boss can
use Trine as skill so equip the Enemy Skill materia to learn it. Cast Choco/Mog
to stun this boss and also haste yourself so you gain the upper hand. Then
attack him with everything you got.
Palmer
Picture
Hp/Mp: 6000/240
This shinra executive is
easy. Simply attack him with physical weapons and summon spells. He should
be easy to beat. When you defeat him he will run away but gets hit by a
truck. Don't worry, he isn't dead.
Rapps
Picture
Hp/Mp: ????/???
This boss is either extremely
difficult or easy. It depends on when you encounter it. Should you do Yuffie's
Subquest as soon as you have the Tiny Bronco we suggest using the most
powerful items on it (Since you don't have materia). Its Aero attack spell
can really do lots of damage.
Red
Dragon
Picture
Hp/Mp: 6800/300
Slow the dragon and Haste
yourself to gain the upper hand. Use all summons you have except Kjata
(Kujata PC version). Use Big Guard at the start to really gain control
of the battle. If you defeat this boss, don't forget to pick up the Bahamut
Materia it leaves behind.
Demon's
Gate
Picture
Hp/Mp: 10.000/400
This boss is one of the most
annoying in the game. His "cave-in" attack deals a lot of damage and his
"demon rush" can really hurt you. First of all cast the "Big Guard" enemy
skill on your party. Then attack him with Bahamut and normal physical attacks.
Heal from time to time and you'll beat him.
Jenova
Life
Picture
Hp/Mp: 10.000/300
The second incarnation of
Jenova is pretty easy to beat. Watch for its "Aqua Lung" enemy skill though.
It can do lots of damage and might kill your party in one try. Equip one
of the characters with the water ring (Which you find in a chest near the
City of the Ancients).
This boss has two heads which
each has there own weaknesses. The right head uses fire while the left
uses cold attacks. Simply use all summons on it except Kjata. Poison has
no effect as well. We hope that you have learned the Big Guard enemy skill
because you'll need it in this battle! First focus on the right head and
then on the left.
Jenova
Death
Picture
Hp/Mp: 25.000/800
The third incarnation of
Jenova is certainly no challenge. Attack with all you have and haste yourself
as well. Equip the Dragons Armlet and the Fire ring to give extra protection.
Ribbons are also advisable since Jenova will silence you.
This boss has no strong standard
attacks but his Lapis Laser can do 1600+ damage which can really hurt.
Also it can use its arms to grab a character thus imprisoning it. If it
has two characters trapped and the third dies, the game ends. So use all
you have to kill its arms first and then its body.
ProudClod
Picture
Hp/Mp: ????/???
First kill the Jammer Armor
that is attached to ProudClod. Once its destroyed use everything you have
against the main structure. Haste yourself and use Regen as well. If you
have any kind of Barrier we suggest using that too. This boss isn't hard
but takes a lot of damage before destroyed.
Hojo
Picture
Hp/Mp: ????/???
Hojo uses several capsules
to distract you. Simply focus all attacks on Hojo, the other don't do much
damage. When Hojo changes form, use spells that can damage all parts. His
final form isn't very strong but can be really annoying if you don't have
Ribbons equipped. But use the same strategy as with other bosses and you'll
beat him easily.
Disc
3 Bosses
Jenova
Synthesis
Picture
Hp/Mp: ????/???
Jenova's final incarnation
looks impressive but its not very hard to beat. Simply haste yourself and
use everything you've got against her. Ignore the countdown because usually
you'll beat her before it reaches 0.
Bizarro
Picture
Hp/Mp: ????/???
Bizarro is Sephiroth's first
incarnation. You can attack it from more then one side using multiple groups.
Focus your attacks on all parts except part C. When you'll be asked if
you're worried about your friends, you can say yes to switch to the other
group. When you've killed all parts, you can focus all attacks on part
C. You'll eventually kill it.
Seraph
Sephiroth
Picture
Hp/Mp: ????/???
Also known as "The One Winged
Angel", Sephiroths final incarnation is not difficult! First of all do
as with all boss battles (Big Guard or Haste etc.). Then use the most powerful
summon spells you've got on him. Knights of the Round will almost kill
him in one try but Bahamut ZERO with Quadra magic can also be helpful.
Be sure to heal yourself from time to time. And remember you can't hit
him with short range weapons when he flies. He can also summon "Super Nova".
A spell that deals serious damage.

Tips
Gi
Master
An
odd thing happens when you use a Hi-potion on this boss. Try it and you'll
see what we mean.
Onyx
WEAPON
There
are 5 WEAPONS in Final Fantasy VII. And you'll fight only 4 of them. Some
people claim there is a WEAPON called Onyx. This is another false rumor.
The ones you'll encounter are: Ultimate, Ruby, Diamond and Emerald. The
fifth, Sapphire, gets killed by the Shinra.
