kingdom hearts 1

i need some help n kingdom hearts on how to defeat sephiro and the clock tower phantom
but those are sidequests, im stuck on the main story. wat do i do after the first visit to hollow bastion? i alredy went to hollow bastion a second time and nothing happened, except learning curaga from aeris

Go to the room where you fought Riku and go through the freaky-looking door.

Use multiple magic attacks on Phantom.
Level up until you can survive against Seph.

I have done all of those things.

ive killed the behemot thing alredy, when i go back thru the door theres just the stage were i fought it
sephiro kills me with three swipes, that sucks, so i have a LOT of leveling up to do
guess i need more leveling to fight phantom too, i knew i had to hit him with spells or phisically depending of the color of the orb and to stop the clock to keep my guys from dying. i just thought itrhere was something else

I can defeat Sephiroth in a minute flat without getting hit a single time......I did this with the Kingdom Key as well without healing myself but that took a good 10 minutes.

The only possible thing I could tell you is that once you do all that, you go to the last dungeon, "The End of the World".

Yha mister strife is right training at the end of the world was a great place to level up but I always go to the third district of trevers town.

Something else that helps...kinda late now if you already gave it to other players, but all those strength and defence things, GIVE THEM TO SORA! makes Sephiroth a lot easier.

Donald and Goofy always struck me as unnesscary. I wishyou could have the option to press a button to switch between them.

Yha it would be so cool if you could just have Leon and sephiroth on your team with sora

Are you jumping when fighting Sephy? Try using jump and glide to dodge some of those wicked attacks.

Other strategies to remember: You CANNOT dodge "Hellfire," so learn the animation that signals it's coming; You can block Sephy's attack with your keyblade: mash X when he gets close.
Are you using Ars Arcanum or any other specialty abilities?
Drop abilities that don't keep you alive or increase power or anything (I.E. drop those treasure nabbing abilities in favor of Ragnarok or Ars Arcanum, or tack on some extra Rages or Second Chances (or Second Wind, not sure which); Ragnarok and Ars are attack capabilities that cause great amounts of damage to Mr. One Winged Angel.
Learn the timing of Ars Arcanum so you can get the extra five hits and the uber hit at the end; these will not only help wear him down, but you're invincible whilst doing it.
After awhile (once you drop him down one life bar) he'll egg you on by beckoning to you. Run over to him but DO NOT attack! He'll teleport away, and you need to have some good reflexes to catch him. If you don't run up and hit him, he'll whomp you with an undefendable, homing attack that drops you to 1 HP (if you have Second Chance) and NO MP. If you DON'T have second chance, you will die immediately. If he manages to hit you, prepare to start over; if you're lucky you might get the chance to use an elixer, but it isn't likely.

After you drop him to the Light Green he'll go nuts on you and be temporarily invincible a LOT. Just focus and keep pressure on him with attack abilities, preferably Ragnarok.

You should be AT LEAST level 60 before attempting to kill him; most players should shoot for 70 or 75.

Try to use something strong with reach, like Oblivion or Ultima Weapon. Metal Chocobo will even work if your strength is high enough.

One final note: understand that your first twenty or so hits (depending on damage and strength) will appear to do nothing to him; don't fret. He has more HP than Square allotted bars for.

Jest dodge his attacks by jumping, glideing, and rolling a lot on Sephiroth and try to hit him when ever you can and you should do fine. The phantom he is really annoying you have to use the spell of the same color as the orb that is under him and remember to cast stop on the clock so it doesn't go from 12 to 12 and kill off one of your team mates.
