hi i'm new here...i hope im doing this right.
i'm at the end of disc 2,and i can't get past this boss-It's Rude,Reno,and Elena.My questions are
1.What level should i be to fight them?because i keep trying and it just gets harder.
2.do they have any weak spots?

Level 40-50 would be good, if I'm not wrong. You should have Barrrier and MBarrier active most of the time and also Regen, it's the best and you won't need to heal as long as Regen is active. To make it short, cast Barrier, MBarrier and Regen, and keep them active. Have one character cast these spells on the whole party (ALL materia!!!) and the other two attack with spells such as Comet2.

And a little hint in the end - If you use Hyper on your characters before the battle, all of them will have the Fury status, which means that their Limit bars will fill up with double speed, and that will allow you to use your most powerful limits pretty often. By the way, I'm not sure if you use Hyper or Tranquilizer to get the fury status, but you can try that out the next time you play. Hope I helped and good luck. ^_^

Or...use Enemy Skill "Big Guard" to save some turns when casting Barriers. Ultima works well with the Turks as well. Enemy Skill "Magic Breath" is also great if you have it.

Hyper is used for the Fury status.

Dont forget to steal from them. If im thinking of the right battle, they all have very good items (touph ring, minerva band i think and dont remember the other)

Big guard is great, but the protection doesnt last long so youre still gonna have to cast wall every few turns anyway.

You're most likely too low level at this point in the game, because i killed them so fast I didnt even have time to steal from Rude. lol At this point in the game, only the weapons should give you a serious problem. If you're having trouble with the turks, you need to level up some more.

Uh do not use kjata for one thing as you will give them all life back.

Try getting mighty guard on. If you have a dragon armlet still I would equip it it is very useful for that battle. Ribbons are also very useful as they stop elenas confusion. Best thing to do is give your most powerful person slash all+ 4x cut very useful.

For me yuffie was doing 6500 an attack and I did it with that combo I killed them in a few rounds. THe other 2 were migging as they drop some useful items as well.

Okay,i'll try your ideas.Thanks ^.^

i know this is double posting,and i'm sorry.BUT I BEAT EM ^_^ THANKS PPL!

Congrats. How did you do it?

the mistake i kept making was reviving Tifa,see for some reason she dies easy..so i had cloud cast ultima every turn and i had red XIII heal him/and attack.now im on disc 3 and it's hard >.<,cuz you get this save crystal thing and i think i put it up too soon..is their a save point before you fight sephiroth?

You are moving too quick man. If the turks gave you this much trouble, sephiroth is gonna eat you up. If I were you I would get out of the crater and do some side quests first. Raise some chocobos and try to get knights of the round, mime and other important materias before going for sephiroth.

Also level yourself up to at least level 70-80 or so. Since you are in the crater already, look for some magic pots and level up off of them. Just throw one an elixir then kill it, and you'll get monstrous xp and ap. Use the w-item glitch if you need more elixirs. Just be careful because the monsters in the crater can get pretty tough.

And to answer your question, no there is no other save point, that save crystal was your only one lol.

christ if the Turks gave you that much trouble you're in trouble.what level are you?have you trained,got limit breaks?PM me if you need help.im happy to help any newbies

I found Sephi to be hardly a trouble at Lvl 63. With the right materia, you can finish him off before he casts Supernova (where all the problem begins).

Yes but apparently he doesnt have the right materia lol. Like i said, if the turks gave him problems, sephi will fuck him up.

My god lvl 63 I killed sephi at level 50. Without mime,KOTR,final attack. ANy of them.

He was quite easy.

I was around 80+ the first time I played the game.Second everyone was Lv.99,but I still wouldnt say he was easy.

Jesus people i have no chance and i didn't come this far for nothing..this sucks :(,seriously i am not starting over.it was too damn boring and too slow,sure its a good story but...anyway i want advent children when it comes out but i would feel like a cheater because i haven't beaten ff7,and doubt i never will from what you guys said..dammit

christ mate its not a hard game

look what you want to do is level up a bit and get some good materia, theres plenty or great materia combos that can do some serious damage i've seen one that can make cloud technically do omni slash with counters and stuff.Just try and find some good ones or go to www.gamefaqs.com and see what they have to say, oh yea and get lots of E.skills they helped me quite a bit.

Okay my friend, I am here to solve all of your problems. Ask someone here with the patientice how to duplicate items using the W items materia. Then get a LOT of elixers. 99 is a good number (with the duplication trick). Then at the North Crater (near the place that looks fungusy and has a lot of folds (GAH NOT SPECIFIC ENUF) and is really multicolored there is a enemy called a magic pot. It asks you to give it a elixer. DO NOT ATTACK IT. Give it the elixer. Then beat the shit out of it AFTER you give it the megaelixer. And make sure you have 99 elixers. Only give one to each. Then beat the shit out it, it wont hurt you back. You will gain at least 40 levels in 2 hours.

Thanks people =)

Ive gotta agree wit Monks idea.
