Master the Gigatrice boss fight in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth with our comprehensive guide. Learn its attacks, weaknesses, phases, and effective strategies for victory.
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Weak to: Fire, Poison
- Resists: Wind
- Absorbs: None
- Immune to: Petrify
Phases:
- Phase 1: The Gigatrice starts airborne. Focus on dealing damage to pressure it and make it land. It uses attacks like Double Talon Rake, Gliding Harrier, Rough Landing, Petrifying Breath, Aero, Charge, and Tail Swing.
- Phase 2: Triggered at ~65% HP. The Gigatrice gains new abilities and a Wind Barrier. New attacks include Conjure Cyclones, Talon Assault, Wild Spin, Tail Flip, and Dust Devil.
Strategy:
- Start by attacking the Gigatrice while it's in the air. Use fire and poison attacks, or Yuffie's Elemental Ninjutsu.
- Most airborne attacks are blockable, except for Petrifying Breath.
- Deal enough damage to pressure the boss and force it to land.
- Once grounded, focus on staggering it using abilities like Barret's Bonus Rounds and Tifa's Focused Strike.
- If the boss returns to the air without reaching the phase 2 HP threshold, repeat the process.
- In Phase 2, the Gigatrice uses Conjure Cyclones. Target these cyclones with elemental spells (preferably fire) to create elemental tornadoes.
- Luring the Gigatrice into an elemental tornado will pressure it and make it land, also dispelling its Wind Barrier.
- Be wary of the unblockable Wild Spin in Phase 2.
- The Dust Devil attack, used when the boss is low on health, is an unblockable, large tornado. Move far away immediately to avoid its high damage.
- After defeating Gigatrice, follow the on-screen prompts to lower the bridge and proceed with Cloud, Aerith, and Red XIII to set the track's route.
