Master the Titan boss fight in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth! Learn its abilities, weaknesses, and strategies to overcome this challenging summon. Get ready for battle!

Alright, let's talk about taking down Titan in the VR Combat Simulator. This guy can be a real handful, especially if you're tackling him early on. He's a tough summon, and he definitely ramps up the pressure as the fight goes on. We'll break down his moves and how to counter them so you can walk away victorious.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakness: Wind
• Resistances: None listed
• Immunities: None listed
• Vulnerabilities: Stagger

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Titan uses various physical and rock-based attacks. Focus on dodging and building stagger.
2. Phase 2 (Below 50% HP): Titan activates Earthen Aegis, a shield with its own health bar. Break this shield to stagger him. He'll continue using Earthen Aegis throughout the rest of the fight.

Strategy:

• Preparation: Make sure at least two party members have Wind Materia equipped. Consider equipping HP Materia if you have it. Aim for levels around 18-19 and equip your best gear. If you're struggling, look for the three Divine Intel spots on the map to lower Titan's difficulty.
• General Combat: Pay attention to the warning symbols next to attacks; these indicate unblockable moves you'll need to dodge. For other attacks, practice perfect blocking to negate damage. Multi-hit attacks are generally weaker until the final hit, so focus on blocking those.
• Phase 1 Tactics: When Titan uses Stonega or Stone, try to perfect block or preemptively block. For unblockable moves like Sling (a grab), Earthen Roar (ground geysers), and Thwack (a shoulder charge), you'll need to dodge. Use Wind attacks to pressure Titan and build his stagger gauge with abilities like Focused Thrust and Focused Strike.
• Phase 2 Tactics: Once Titan hits around 50% HP, he'll activate Earthen Aegis. This shield has its own health bar, so focus all your attacks on breaking it. Once broken, Titan will be pressured, giving you a great opportunity to build his stagger gauge for significant damage. Be aware that he'll continue to use Earthen Aegis even after being staggered, so be prepared to break it again.
• Key Moves to Watch For:
  • Stone: A single rock toss.
  • Stomp Combo: Punches followed by a ground stomp.
  • Leaping Smash: A jump attack if you're far away.
  • Mountain Crusher: A series of melee strikes ending with a ground pound.
  • Sling (Unblockable): Titan attempts to grab and toss you. Dodge this.
  • Earthen Roar (Unblockable): Geysers erupt from the ground. Marked on the arena, so dodge.
  • Stonega: Boulders thrown at all three party members.
  • Thwack (Unblockable): A shoulder ram charge. Dodge this.
  • Earthen Aegis: Titan's defensive shield at 50% HP. Break its health bar.
  • Granite Shell (Unblockable): Titan encases a character in rocks, then smashes them. Requires breaking the shell quickly. The follow-up smash is called Rock Buster.
  • Earthen Fury: A cinematic, high-damage area attack involving summoned rocks.
  • Boulder Hurl: Titan throws a large, formed boulder. Can be perfect blocked to negate damage.
