Next, Sephiroth will begin using Shadow Flare. You can bat the attacks back at Sephiroth with the Keyblade or Reflega - since the Shadow Flares appear surrounding you, the latter option is advised. Sephiroth will also sometimes use Shadow Flare, then follow up with Flash - using the Reaction command in this case will reflect both Sephiroth's attacks and the Shadow Flares. Sephiroth will still use his various slashing attacks from his first phase, so react accordingly. His Ground Omnislash has greater reach and speed in this phase so using ''Guard'', ''Counter-Guard'', and Reflega against him will be more tricky during the attack. Sephiroth will also start utilizing his Firaga Wall, summoning multiple flame pillars around him while drawing you towards him. Run, jump and glide away to avoid them, or if you're caught in them, use ''Reflega'' to protect yourself and do heavy damage to Sephiroth. Sephiroth can be attacked with a combo as he finishes the attack, but it is difficult to do so. | Next, Sephiroth will begin using Shadow Flare.

Watch and listen for the signs he's casting it - he will rise into the air and say "Sin...Heartless Angel". Use ''High Jump'' and ''Aerial Dodge'' to reach and attack him before he completes the casting. Sephiroth floats high into the air while using this attack, so these two abilities are a must to reach him quickly and attack him, as it is impossible otherwise to stop him, barring you being close enough to him to hit him before he rises. If he casts it successfully, Sephiroth descends back to the ground and uses Flash or Teleport Slash. You have the option to either quickly heal with an Elixir before the next attack is cast or defend and counterattack Sephiroth with a Reaction Command or ''Guard ''and ground combo before using an Elixir as Sephiroth recovers from the counterattack. Curaga's lag between casting it and it healing can also be exploited here; if the spell is cast so it starts before Sora's MP is depleted, but finishes after the attack, Heartless Angel can be neutralized at the cost of MP. | ||
Sephiroth in general becomes much more aggressive in this stage, so you will need to heal more often. After losing nine and a half bars of health, Sephiroth will summon a dark aura and begin his final attack phase. | Sephiroth in general becomes much more aggressive in this stage, so you will need to heal more often.
