Sephiroth using Octaslash
Template:See Also Sephiroth is a boss in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. He is fought twice in the Nibel Reactor. Virtual versions can later be challenged again in two missions, as well as Professor Hojo's final experiment of which is labeled "Experiment No. 124."
Battle
First Battle
In the first battle, Sephiroth can summon four elemental Crystals, the Fire Materia, the Blizzard Materia, the Thunder Materia, and the Support Materia. He also can use the DMW attack, Octaslash, and his classic Heartless Angel attack, which knocks Zack's HP down to 1.
Sephiroth can also teleport across the stage so the player can see what he may do next, e.g. if he teleports back he is going to use Draw Slash.
Second Battle
Now Zack is standing on a long platform and can only attack Sephiroth from the front. After every attack Sephiroth uses, Zack is knocked back further and further. If Zack is pushed off the platform, it is Game Over. Because of this, Sephiroth is generally easier this time and does not summon the four Crystals.
Etymology
Səphīrōth (סְפִירוֹת, medieval Hebrew form of Sephirot; also spelled Sefirot), is a plural noun in Hebrew; the singular is Sephirah (also spelled Sefira). The Sephiroth are described in the Kabbalah as the manifestations of God that allow Him to manifest in the physical and metaphysical universes. Sephiroth also means "counting" (of numbers).
