Boss Weakness: None

Jenova can be one of the most annoying bosses since she counters almost every melee attack with a tentacle whip. However, there’s a trick to winning this battle easily…use Aerith! If you use her as party leader and hang back using her regular attack and Tempest, Jenova can’t hit her with her counter and for some reason doesn’t counter your AI partners often while they’re auto-attacking.

The main attack you’ll need to dodge is Black Light, which fires a direct ray of what looks like ink at your character. When you see this attack winding up, duck behind a pillar to avoid it. What you need to do is knock out both the Left and Right Tentacles to Stagger the main Dreamweaver body. Just focus on attacking one at a time with Aerith and using the strongest ATB abilities of Cloud and Tifa from the Command menu. Blade Burst and Starshower work well.

After Jenova goes down to half health, she’ll become immune to any attack and a ton of tentacles will pop up around the arena. Your task is to take all of these out before you can resume attacking her. You’ll have to take out about 30 of them, but Triple Slash will absolutely murder them. Just attack in Operator Mode to build up ATB then immediately Triple Slash.

Once they’re gone, resume the previous tactics, keeping your distance with Aerith and using ATB commands with Tifa and Cloud.

Hard Mode Tips: This fight is exactly the same on Hard except this time you can use Gotterdammerung if you beat Pride and Joy earlier in this chapter (highly recommended). Equip it on Cloud and immediately use his Ascension on one of Jenova’s tentacles to break it and then keep using it whenever available, preferably on the main body. If you save it for a Stagger then it will do insane damage.

One other tip is that this might be a rare occasion where it’s best to use a MAX Pray Materia on one of your characters (probably Aerith) instead of using Magnify-Cure. The reason being is that you have two bosses left almost immediately following this one, with the last one being arguably the toughest story boss in the game. You’ll want as close to maximum MP on Aerith for that as you can so if you can save usage of it now, take the opportunity.
