Your progress in the Shinra HQ will reveal some of the mysteries of the history of Final Fantasy VII Remake. One of the strangest is Jenova, whose fall on this planet would have annihilated the ancient civilization. For this boss, the team is composed of Cloud, Tifa and Aerith.
Planning & Materia
- A bench and a vending machine will allow you to rest in a room a little before the boss. Remember to reassign your Materia to the new members of your team.
- This boss has no particular weakness, you can take the basic Materia you want.
- The Fat Chocobo and Leviathan summons are very useful with their AoE techniques.
- This boss will inflict Stop on your characters often: equipping boots that protect from this effect might be a good idea.
- Plan a Breach Materia, in order to dissipate the Boss' Shield.
Boss Abilities
- Mourning Wail: An AoE that will repel characters and deal damage to them. Try to stay behind his back with your active character if possible.
- Vengeance: A deadly laser on a single target. Aerith can block it.
- Dreams of Quietude: Silences a nearby target.
- Fira: An incendiary explosion over a large area.
- Aero: A wind spell that will propel one or more characters into the air
- Bio: Inflicts poison on characters. Create a rather painful combo with Stop.
- Stop : The most painful technique of this boss is a purple area that will appear on the ground. After a while, the affected characters will be literally stopped and will be unable to act for a few seconds.
Fight
- Your priority will always be to destroy its two lateral tentacles. Fortunately, it is not very difficult, and the melee techniques as well as the unique abilities of your characters should help. When the tentacles are alive, they launch different techniques, and they reappear regularly, so you will have to stay vigilant.
- Try to get away from other group members with your active character to avoid having several Stop at the same time. If your character is stopped, control another one.
- When the life of the boss has decreased enough, he will launch a shield that will protect him from attacks. If you don't have enough ressources to dissipate it, destroy the many tentacles that will appear all around in the room.
- In the last phase, the boss will appear at one end of the room, and it will cause tentacles to appear between you and him, as well as a storm. Kill the tentacles on your way and join the boss to deal as much damage as possible before he teleports to the other end of the area.
