Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: How To Beat Dyne & Anuran Suppressor | Ch. 8 Bosses Guide

gameranx.com:

Barret’s backstory is revealed in an emotional solo boss battle against Dyne in Chapter 8 of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The gunman has lost his mind after losing everything to Shinra and now Barret has to take care of him. If you’ve been skipping Barret and don’t have his weapon abilities unlocked, this can be a much more difficult fight. Make sure to use Maximum Fury to make this tough battle a lot easier in the second half. Next, you’ll face off against Shinra Executive Palmer in a throwdown with the Anuran Suppressor. The bouncing frog-shaped robot can be stunned with Synergy Abilities or after smacking Palmer during one of his taunts.

At the start of the battle, use Steelskin to protect Barret. Use the bits of cover to avoid attacks and dive behind debris when Dyne uses Firebombs and other powerful attacks. The first phase ends when Dyne is at about 60% health.

Use Bonus Rounds to deal more pressure damage. When he is pressured, you’ll fill the stagger meter faster with this ability. The second phase gets much, much more difficult — Dyne clears the arena so you won’t have debris to hide behind. He also summons mechanical appendages to help him.

When Dyne summons appendages, they can be targeted. You’ll have a brief window to destroy them before they hit Barret. Use Maximum Fury immediately to wipe out the scrap heads — some attacks can be eliminated entirely if you act fast. Destroying all of Dyne’s arms will interrupt his attack and leave him pressured.

The real boss is the Anuran Suppressor, an oversized machine piloted by Palmer — one
