Aeris warns Cloud about Demons Gate
The Demons Gate is a boss from Final Fantasy VII fought in the Temple of the Ancients. It is likely the toughest boss the player has encountered at that point in the game. If the player is unable to defeat Demons Gate due to being a low level they may return to the area where the Red Dragon was fought and run around there to make enemies appear to level up.

Battle
Demons Gate is a fast boss with high attack power that uses various attacks and many of them hurt the entire party at once. Its Falling Rocks deals massive damage to one party member. Cave-In is an Ice attack on all party members, although it can also be used on a single target if all other party members are either non-targetable or under the effects of either the Slow-numb or Petrify statuses. Petrif-Eye inflicts Slow-numb on the victim.
Demon Rush is Demons Gate's deadliest attack, but the player can tell when it's going to use it as Demons Gate goes wild and moves closer before striking. Demon Rush is used two turns after Demons Gate has taken a total of 2500, 5000, or 7500 HP damage. With Sense, the player can work out when this will happen.
It is possible to poison Demons Gate, yet, as it is immune to Poison-elemental damage, it will constantly deal 0 damage. The only way to see this is via Added Effect linked to a Poison Materia, as any skill that inflicts Poison will do nothing.
Strategy
It may be useful to place the party in the back row for the battle. The player can cast Slow right away to break Demons Gate's speed. Big Guard from the Enemy Skill Materia is useful for mitigating damage and Regen helps replenish the party's HP. As Aeris is in the party, her healing Limit Breaks can be of great help.
Because of Demons Gate's unusually high magic defense, most available magic and summon abilities are ineffective. The player should stick to using physical abilities, such as Deathblow, Throw, Limit Breaks, and ordinary melee attacks. The Bahamut summon, which ignores magic defense, also deals a significant amount of damage. Right arms, which can be stolen from Bombs, can deal over 1200 damage.
When the player notices Demons Gate is going to use Demon Rush, they can put up Big Guard and use White Wind to prepare. White Wind also negates the effect of Petrif-Eye. One may also opt to use the Defend command.
