The final boss is [[Safer∙Sephiroth]]. After using the [[Black Materia (Final Fantasy VII)|Black Materia]] to call [[Meteor (Final Fantasy VII)|Meteor]] to hit the [[Gaia (Final Fantasy VII)|Planet]], Sephiroth prepares to absorb the [[Lifestream]] and become a god. The party descends into the [[Northern Cave (Final Fantasy VII)|Northern Cave]] and enters the planet's core where Sephiroth is containing [[Holy (Final Fantasy VII)|Holy]], the only force strong enough to stop Meteor.

The party first fights [[Jenova∙SYNTHESIS]], the final [[Jenova]] spawn, before being drawn into the deepest part of the cave to engage Sephiroth as [[Bizarro∙Sephiroth]]. When it is defeated Safer∙Sephiroth emerges. After Safer∙Sephiroth is defeated, there is one final battle against [[Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII boss)|Sephiroth]] fought one-on-one with [[Cloud Strife/Gameplay|Cloud]], but is a scripted encounter and cannot be lost.

[[File:FF7BC Zirconiade.jpg|thumb|150px|Zirconiade, the World Burner.]]
The final boss is [[Zirconiade (boss)|Zirconiade]]. A so-called "Ultimate Summon", Zirconiade is summoned with four support Materia, in the meantime draining the life energy of [[AVALANCHE]]'s leader [[Elfe]], who had Zirconiade's Materia implanted in her hand by [[Professor Hojo]]. [[Fuhito]], AVALANCHE's scientist, plans to use Zirconiade to eradicate all life on the planet and return their energy to the Lifestream so it can heal from [[Shinra Electric Power Company|Shinra's]] damaging influence.

With the combined efforts of the [[Turks]], their former leader [[Veld]], and Elfe's second-in-command, [[Shears]], the Turks gather the four support Materia, which are seized by Fuhito. Attempting to summon Zirconiade, Fuhito offers his own body as a sacrifice, transforming from the power surge from Zirconiade. With Fuhito killed, AVALANCHE enters a pocket dimension Zirconiade is emerging from and destroy it, saving the planet.

The final boss is [[Omega Weiss]]. When [[Deepground]] kills many innocents to call the strongest [[Weapon (Final Fantasy VII creature)|Weapon]], [[Omega (Final Fantasy VII)|Omega]], it appears over [[Midgar]]. Believing the mass deaths are a sign the planet is dying, Omega prepares to gather the Lifestream and depart into space, leaving the planet a lifeless husk.

Omega was taken over by [[Weiss]], the Deepground commander. [[Vincent Valentine]], a human with the power of [[Chaos (Final Fantasy VII)|Chaos]], goes inside the Weapon to fight Weiss directly. Vincent defeats them both, destroying Omega and saving the planet.

[[File:CC7 Genesis final encounter.png|thumb|130px|Genesis, the prototype SOLDIER.]]
The final boss is [[Genesis (final boss)|Genesis Rhapsodos]]. Orchestrating a war against Shinra with Dr. [[Hollander]] to stop his [[degradation]] and find a cure for his condition, Genesis retreats to the ruins of [[Banora]]. He finds the [[Gift of the Goddess]], which he believes is the cure he needs.

Channeling the power of a massive [[Materia (Final Fantasy VII)|Materia]] deep in the [[Banora Underground]], Genesis becomes [[Genesis Avatar]], but upon being defeated is restored to his normal form. Human and cured of his degradation, Genesis challenges [[Zack Fair|Zack]] to a final duel, and is struck down. There is [[Zack's Final Stand|a final enemy encounter]] after the battle, but it is scripted and the player's actions [[Unwinnable battle|do not affect the outcome]], so the battles with Genesis are the final challenge.
