How to Beat Midgardsormr in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Pressure Midgardsormr with Blizzard spells
Midgardsormr can be pressured by exploiting its elemental weakness to ice. Blizzard attacks from the Ice Materia can do this, so equip this Materia onto Aerith, whose high Magic Attack allows her to deal great damage output each time her ATB gauge fills.
Use the same attack twice with Arcane Ward
By keeping Aerith’s starting weapon (the Guard Stick) equipped, Aerith can make use of Arcane Ward, which allows her to fire off the same attack spell twice for just a single ATB bar. This will greatly increase her damage output, so it’s a great ability to use in tandem with Blizzard.
Give it your all once Staggered!
Once the Midgardsormr has been staggered, it’s your chance to lay into it with everything. Try to hit it with as many high damaging moves as possible.
If you start to lose HP, build up ATB with Barret and use items to heal
If your teammates begin to lose HP, switch from controlling Aerith to Barret, then use Potions or Cure Spells to heal your allies. Barret’s normal attack charges the ATB Gauge extremely quickly, allowing you to heal your other teammates as often as needed.
