All Magnify Materia Locations

Discover where to find all Magnify Materia orbs in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Learn how this powerful support materia works and how to level it up effectively.

Hey there! So you're looking to get your hands on the Magnify Materia in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth? It's a super useful support orb that can really change up how you approach battles, especially when you link it with your magic materia. Let's break down how it works and where you can snag every piece you can get your hands on.

How Magnify Materia Works

Think of Magnify Materia like its predecessor, All Materia, from the original Final Fantasy VII. When you equip it in a linked slot alongside a magic materia (the green ones), its effects spread to hit either all enemies or all allies. In the original game, this didn't cost extra MP, but in Rebirth, they've tweaked it. Instead of a limit on uses, the effectiveness of the magnified magic is reduced. At its base level (Lv1), the potency is cut by 60%, which can feel pretty weak. Thankfully, as you level it up, this penalty decreases:

At Lv1, it might not feel like it's doing much, maybe just tickling the enemies with spells or giving a tiny heal to everyone. Honestly, for healing, the Prayer Materia is often better early on, and it uses less ATB. But once you get Magnify to Lv2, it starts to feel useful, and at Lv3, it's incredibly potent! It's fantastic for spreading buffs like Protect or Shell, and a Curaga spell linked with Magnify late in the game is a lifesaver. Just remember, its usefulness really depends on the enemies you're facing.

Where to Find All Magnify Materia

There are technically three Magnify Materia orbs in the game, but one of them isn't really useful in the long run. You'll actually get a taste of it during the prologue in Nibelheim (Chapter 1), but since you don't keep anything from that part, it's more of a tease than anything practical.

The real deal starts later. Just like in the first game, you won't get your first usable Magnify Materia until Chapter 9, which is about halfway through. But don't worry, the two main orbs you can actually use are pretty straightforward to find:

Pro-Tip for Leveling: To get your Magnify Materia leveled up quickly, try equipping it in a linked slot with AP Up Materia. Then, jump into some easy VR battles. The Grasslands Region Intel: Level 1 is a great spot for fast materia leveling!
