Nero the Sable Strategies
Below is a guide on how to beat the Nero the Sable, including recommenced party, equipment, skills, magic, Materia, and abilities to use against the boss:
First Phase (100% HP)
Start engaging the boss by throwing Yuffie’s Shurikens. While getting close, use melee attacks and combos.
In this phase, Nero has limited moves at his disposal. When he uses his Binding Talons, he will capture and bind Yuffie using its mechanic wings. Command your party member to drop Yuffie. Nero will use its Sweeping Darkness, a slash attack, if you are positioned in front of the boss. Evade sideways or use Guard to lessen the damage. The third move is Pinion Pistols which is a ranged attack. Just time your evasion to avoid getting hit.
At this stage just continue to harass Nero with your attacks until you pressure him. Not leaving room for him to use his moves.
Second Phase (75% HP)
Nero will use more attacks in particular his dark magic. His dark magic can be unleashed directly (Chthonic Surge), from above (Eldrich Celerity), or from the ground (Chaotic Pulsars). He will still use his mechanical wing attacks. What’s new is his Disembowel which is a dive attack.
Keep damaging the boss but don’t position yourself near the corners since it will limit your evasion. By this time, prep up your Ramuh summon.
Third Phase (50% HP)
Nero will use dark magic to protect himself. At this level, don’t spend too much time on melee attacks when it uses its Veil of Woe and Soul Erosion skills. Kite the boss using shuriken attacks until the moves are on cooldown.
Fourth Phase (25% HP)
Nero will cover the whole area under dark magic and will use AoE dark magic moves. His mechanical wings will be covered by dark magic and will become Abyssal Wings. Prioritize on eliminating the wings to limit the movement of Nero. Then, finish him off.
