It will also scatter shock grenades on the ground, which have a rather large area of effect, so be very aware of where you are standing and avoid standing near them or you’ll be stunned for several seconds (during which you’ll be opened to punishing boss attacks).Ī particularly dangerous combination of attacks the Airbuster will use is the stunning Fingerbeams, followed by the Big Bomber attack, which can knock one of your characters out if they have taken even a moderate amount of damage during the fight. It will charge its base with electricity, so back up when you see the start-up to avoid taking damage. The Airbuster has several Lightning-based attacks.

You can also use any BBs you diverted from it’s construction, allowing you to deal heavy damage to it immediately. This way, he can absorb attacks for Tifa and Cloud, while taking less damage than they would have.īegin by building up ATB charges, then fire Thundara repeatedly at the Airbuster. A great way to make it easier is to use Barret’s Lifesaver ability in conjunction with HP Up Materia and the Steelskin ability, which reduces his damage taken. This newly discovered piece of Materia is labeled as MP Up Materia.A big part of this boss fight is managing the heavy damage being dealt by the Airbuster, so you’ll need to keep an eye on your party member’s HP.

Once you’ve done that, the purple Materia will be ripe for the picking. Make your way back to the moving platform’s switch and push it all the way to the bottom. There’s also another piece of Materia you’ll want to recover from this section, by the way. Then proceed to move across that platform, keep moving around that area and you’ll eventually come upon the main location of the blue orb of Elemental Materia. After that, keep moving until you enter a battle with some troublesome vermin.Īfter they’ve been vanquished, click on the switch and maneuver the platform down until it lines up perfectly. Collect whatever’s inside that chest, then take the ladder to the left of that chest to the bottom. Look to your right and you’ll spot a chest nearby. Once you’ve finally taken a ride over to the third and final Sun Lamp, get off the moving platform and run past the big crates in front of you. Now in order to get your hands on that sweet piece of Materia, just continue completing your main goal of powering off three Sun Lamps.

This moment opens up a new side mission by the name of Discovery – Collapsed Passageway. Sadly, those boards fall apart and block you from picking up your prize. During one sequence, you’ll attempt to walk across some wooden boards and retrieve a blue Materia.

Once you reach Chapter 6 (Light the Way) of Final Fantasy VII Remake, you’ll have to venture across several platforms and reroute power to a few switches by turning off massive Sun Lamps.
