The penultimate boss of Disc 1 depending on how you look at it. Gerogero can use status magic like Berserk and Silence in addition to his special attack, Bwwaarrgghh, which inflicts a heady cocktail of Slow, Blind, and Curse. He generously carries Esuna magic to help you deal with this though.
But there's some huge weaknesses on the dude. Being undead, Gerogero can be damaged by Restorative effects which includes a one-shot by anything that revives from KO. He's also weak to Fire, though healing magic seems to hit much harder. I mostly stuck with Fira for the fight before trying out Cura, to devastating results.
Should also note that Fake President spawned at Lv.10 while Gerogero spawned at the target Lv.12. Considering how weak Fake President is, I decided to press on regardless but I'll need to be careful when fighting multiple boss enemies like Sacred & Minotaur in case one isn't at the target level.

![FF7 NT Mod v1.3: Jenova-VECTOR
This is a quick technical demonstration of the Jenova Vector fight, mostly to show how to handle all the mechanics and some strategies that use what youll probably have in your inventory (basic healing items + unmissable Materia). It was recorded to give people a hand if they get stuck here.
[-Jenova Vector-]
HP: 9250
Weak to Earth & Holy, Resistant to Wind, Immune to Gravity
Can be Slowed
[-Vector Nodes-]
HP: 1300 each
Weak to Gravity & Wind, Immune to Earth
All status ailments except Stop & Paralysis can be inflicted
Like the original boss, her AI is phase-based and shell have four rounds of attacks after which she has a long cooldown phase.
Phase 1: Red Ray
Physical attack, single-target, that drain damage as HP; Back-row, Barrier, and the Defend command can reduce the damage. Used 1-3 times per round.
Phase 2: Bacteriophage
Physical attack, hits all, can inflict Poison. Used 1-2 times per round.
Phase 3: Nucleic Laser
Attacks MP, single-target, used 1-3 times per round.
Phase 4: Transducer + Vector Storm
Transducer, single-target, inflicts Death Sentence. Vector Storm hits all and can inflict Slow. After this phase, Vector enters a long cooldown phase where she is passive.
After two cycles, Vector will spawn two Nodes that grant a physical and magical immunity to the boss. Killing these will lift the corresponding immunity (one Node is physical-based, the other magical-based).
[Set-up]
I went with a balanced team of a fast caster (Red XIII), a support (Cloud), and a physical hitter (Tifa). Red XIII has Earth equipped and Sense (nothing else). Cloud on the other hand has Barrier + All, Restore + All, and Choco/Mog. Tifa has Heal + Elemental (which gives her weapon the Holy element for 2x damage against Vector), Gravity + All, and Shiva (which will inflict Slow 100% in v1.3).
First thing going into the fight is to gauge where Vector will start in her attack pattern. She will either begin with the red lasers or with Vector Storm. If she starts with Storm then she will enter the cooldown phase afterwards, which gives you time to get yourself healed and set up. In either case, you want to apply Barrier to any front row party members (or use Barrier + All) while healing with either Cure or Potions if anyone has dipped below 300HP.
First attack should be Shiva to inflict Slow on Vector; this gives you a slight edge in turns, especially if you use Haste + All on your party (I didnt have this equipped). After that, the physical hitter attacks normally while the caster lobs Quake at Vector. The support does not attack, and instead micro-manages the partys HP, ATB, and status. The Support can use Defend if nothing needs doing at the time in order to potentially reduce damage further.
As the fight goes on, your partys MP will be getting quite low. Keep track of how many cycles Vector has been through, as shell spawn the Nodes at the end of the 2nd Cycle and you want to be able to deal with them efficiently. An Ether can be handy.
When the Nodes spawn, I hit them with Demi + All for a good chunk of damage, following up with a Demi on the Node that is resistant to magical damage (this Node will take less damage from the Summon Im about to use). Then I hit them with Choco/Mog, a strong Wind-based Summon that will either kill them outright or at least leave them heavily damaged and Confused.
When the Nodes die, theyll lift the physical and magical immunity from Vector. After this, the fight continues as before until Vector is killed. One special thing to note is that when she has the protection of the physical Node, the drain effect from the red lasers is negated to 0 so she cant heal while Nodes are active.
As you see in the vid, its possible to kill Vector before the Nodes spawn but its common to see them on the first attempt of the fight. Theres also a secret relating to this boss fight, but that there is a secret :I FF7 NT Mod v1.3: Jenova-VECTOR](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vyK1MT5-42o/mqdefault.jpg)
