Jenova∙LIFE

Jenova∙LIFE, referred to as Jenova Life in the BradyGames guide, is a boss in Final Fantasy VII. It attacks following Aeris's attempt of summoning Holy and her subsequent death. The "J-E-N-O-V-A" music does not play in the battle, rather "Aeris's theme" continues playing from the previous scene.

If the player did not talk to the Innkeeper about the situation of the town during the Kalm flashback, defeating Jenova∙LIFE will trigger the Aeris's Ghost event to occur the next time the player visits the Sector 5 Church.

Strategy
This form attacks with Blue Light, Blue Flame, and uses Reflect for defense. Players should have the Enemy Skill Materia in this battle to learn Jenova LIFE's Aqualung ability. Casting Magic Hammer on Jenova will quickly prevent her from using her most damaging attacks. However, each time Magic Hammer is used on her, she will cast reflect. Reflect however, can easily be disabled with De-Barrier. As she only has 300 mana, 3 cycles of De-Barrier and Magic Hammer will render her unable to fight, thus make her a sitting duck as all of her attacks consume mana. Equipping a Water Ring on a character will make the battle impossible to lose, since all of Jenova LIFE's attacks are Water-based, and Reflect can be removed with DeBarrier or DeSpell. Non-reflectable spells and summons are useful in this battle, such as Comet, Beta, Bahamut, Kjata, Odin, and Titan. For other offense, Quake2 or Quake3 are good, as well as each character's best Limit Breaks.

The player can also inflict Paralysis with Cloud's Cross-slash or Dazers won from Boundfat outside the Forgotten Capital.
