The final boss of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a doozy. There’s a series of Chapter 14 bosses waiting for you at the end of the story, and they get increasingly difficult — it can take upwards of an hour or more to fight them all, and some phases of the boss can wipe your party in an instant. We’ve got video and a whole lot of text to help you beat the biggest bosses of the game. Here’s how to take on Jenova and the many, many forms of Sephiroth.
The final boss is a grueling multi-stage fight that requires all of your characters. You’ll regain Cait Sith at the start of Chapter 14, who will enter the final battle completely unequipped if you don’t enter the equipment menu. Before progressing to the final boss battle, here’s what you’ll want to do to prepare.
Basically, prepare for everything. The party composition will change seemingly at random between phases, so you’ll want your secondary party of Tifa, Barret, Red XIII, Yuffie and Cait Sith to be prepared for anything.
If you’re short on ingredients for Giga-Potions and Ethers, go to the Nibel Region Chocobo Ranch to purchase almost any crafting resource. They’re expensive, but you won’t need much money after this. When you’ve collecting plenty of healing items and have your equipment / materia set, you can begin the final battle.
Phase 1: The powerful Jenova Lifeclinger is the first of a series of bosses in Chapter 14. At the start of the battle, you’ll have to use Cloud, Barret and Yuffie. Characters will change as the battle progresses.
During this fight, Jenova will generate a Barrier that is immune to physical damage. Use Lightning and Fire Materia to deal damage and destroy the barrier. This will Pressure Jenova. Use Stagger increasing attacks like Focus Round or Focused Thrust to increase Stagger.
As you deal damage, Jenova will capture Barret and then Yuffie, removing them from the battle. Take Jenova down to about 80% Health to reach the second phase. I recommend saving your Limit Breaks until Phase 2 has begun.
Phase 2: In this phase, Jenova becomes more dangerous. Barret and Yuffie will rejoin the battle with Cloud. Deal damage to Jenova while it is charging attacks (like Dreams of Sorcery) with Fire or Lightning. Charge your Limit Breaks to Level 2 or Level 3 in preparation for the final phase.
During this phase, Jenova will smash the arena at about 40% Health and you’ll swap character. Tifa and Cait Sith will team up. Use Tifa’s Unbridled Strength and Cait Sith’s abilities like Moogle Knuckle to knock out the first wing. Target the Right Wing — not the body!
Next, Barret and Red XIII need to destroy the Left Wing. Use Limit Break or Synergy Abilities if they’re already charged here to end either of these phases faster. Dodge through
