This is a guide to beating the Boss Gigantipede in the game Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (FF7R) DLC Intergrade. This article explains Gigantipede’s weaknesses, and tips and strategies for defeating it on Normal and Hard.
Use Lightning Materia and Ninjutsu
Like other mechs, Gigantipede suffers from a serious weakness to Lightning Magic when used on its tail. Use Yuffie’s Lightning Ninjutsu to deal some consistent lightning damage with her attacks to its tail stagger it! It is also effective against the Containment Drones it sends out.
Use Physical Attacks on its Head
Its other weakness is striking its head with physical attacks. It can be a bit tougher as it moves around and will deal damage when ramming into you, but is worth helping stagger it when you do not have anymore MP for lightning spells! You can use Yuffie to deal lightning damage to its tal while commanding Sonon to use some abilities on its head!
Destroy the Containment Drones
After you deal enough damage, the Gigantipede will start sending out Containment Drones. These drones don’t attack you themselves but will lock onto you with their lasers, allowing the Gigantipede to use its homing missiles onto you. Synergize with Sonon to destroy them as soon as they are deployed and you won’t be eating the missile barrages.
