We’re almost at the end of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The Temple of the Ancients is packed with boss fights, and the Chapter 13 bosses are some of the toughest in the game. We’re at the penultimate chapter, so you’ll want to fully prepare your entire party for action — you’ll want to stock up on Mist Potions, Phoenix Downs and unlock those Level 3 Limit Breaks. Some classic bosses return this time around, and you’ll have to take on all the Turks with characters you might not be using as often. Make sure to outfit all six characters before venturing forth and check out each section below for more boss guides.
At the start of the battle, you can begin attacking the head. Use Cloud’s Triple Slash to glide over the fire breath AOE attack and hammer the head, commanding Barret, Yuffie or anyone else to hit it with Blizzard to rapidly cripple it. Destroying the head part will fill a portion of the pressure gauge.
The fire breath attack also only targets the floor of the arena. You can continue to attack the head while it is breathing fire with melee characters as long as they’re flying mid-air. Almost every character has a mid-air ability you can use to start floating.
When the Red Dragon’s chest glows, target it with high-damage output characters or use Blizzara. Breaking the chest will lower the range of its Crimson Breath ability.
Eventually, the dragon will shoot fire everywhere — you’ll see the pillars on the corners of the arena glow red. You’ll need to aim the pillars by standing in the opposite direction you want them to fall. Dropping a pillar will fill the pressure gauge significantly.
Finally, when it’s flying target one of the wings. Barret is especially good at this with a fully-charged Maximum Fury. Destroy one of the wings to interrupt the Red Dragon, cause it to fall, and pressure it. Stagger it twice and you’ll defeat this initial boss fight.
This encounter with Reno and Rude is similar to past fights — target Reno first and defeat him, then take care of Rude. Reno is easier to pressure while fighting him with Cloud. Evade often or use Cloud’s Counterstance to deal high damage and immediately pressure him.
Reno is aggressive but generally easier to defeat than Rude. He is wear to Fire, so use Fira when he’s Pressured to stagger first. Interrupting his Synergy Abilities is easier when you use Synergy Abilities yourself. Charge everyone up in your party and especially focus on increasing Limit Level. The stronger your Limit Break when they stagger, the faster these two will be defeated.
Tseng is the more powerful and dangerous enemy in this tough boss fight. Focus on defeating Elena first so you can focus completely on Tseng. To pressure Elena, use any two powerful offensive abilities.

Of all the new content introduced in , Queen's Blood is one of the most complex; learning this card game can be tricky, and building the best deck for it is even trickier. While the cards you pick should depend on your strategy, a few cards stand out as especially helpful when used correctly.
Square Enix has released Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth update v.1.020, introducing various improvements including performance options, graphics enhancements, frame rate adjustments, and more. Additionally, the update includes numerous bug fixes and functional enhancements aimed at refining the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gameplay experience.
It’d be fair to say Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s next-gen makeover of characters, monsters, and more from the 1997 original has been a spectacular glow-up. The modern console era has returned an iconic cast and world to us with a level of realism in gameplay that even pre-rendered cutscenes over 25 years ago couldn’t match. We asked Square Enix if they could crunch some numbers and share some insight into the changes nearly three decades of technological advancement have wrought. Here, main character modeler and lead character artist Dai Suzuki walks us through a selection of characters, creatures, weapons, and more.
Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has garnered plenty of acclaim but also faced criticism for its visual quality, particularly in Performance Mode. While it received a patch before launch, a new update is live, offering even more improvements.
We’ll say this up front for those of you still exploring Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s vast world: there are no late-game story spoilers here. As seen in its pre-release debut via a new trailer late last year, the action RPG’s theme song “No Promises to Keep” is performed in-game by Aerith. Behind the scenes though, the track was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, the legendary composer behind the iconic soundtracks for much of the Final Fantasy series, including Final Fantasy VII Remake. The song’s vocals were performed by American singer Loren Allred, who brought her spellbinding singing voice to the track, augmenting the beautiful—yet tragic—world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the epic story told within it.
In the world of video game soundtracks, you can’t get much more iconic than Nobuo Uematsu. Most well-known for composing soundtracks for the first nine Final Fantasy games, the musician has gone on to write tracks for many subsequent entries to the franchise, most recently penning the tearjerking theme song for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, No Promises to Keep.
Shortly before launch, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi confused many fans of the series by explaining that the development team made two versions of each side quest all because of Red XIII. We didn't know why at the time, as we weren't aware of the voice change that Red XIII goes through a little ways into the game itself, first hinted at in Under Junon and then again in Costa del Sol.
The final boss of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a doozy. There’s a series of Chapter 14 bosses waiting for you at the end of the story, and they get increasingly difficult — it can take upwards of an hour or more to fight them all, and some phases of the boss can wipe your party in an instant. We’ve got video and a whole lot of text to help you beat the biggest bosses of the game. Here’s how to take on Jenova and the many, many forms of Sephiroth.
The rumored Final Fantasy IX remake will be very different from the Final Fantasy VII remake project in terms of scope and budget, according to rumors.
Bringing the once-doomed MMO Final Fantasy XIV back to life and directing the latest mainline title of the long-running franchise isn’t enough for Square Enix superstar Naoki Yoshida. In a new interview with Famitsu, Yoshida chatted at length about his desire to direct yet another major game for Square Enix.
The Final Fantasy VII Remake project trilogy will be console-exclusive to PlayStation, according to Sony Interactive Entertainment vice president of second- and third-party content ventures and strategic initiatives Christian Svensson.
