Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: How To Beat Red Dragon, Demon Gate & More | Ch. 13 Bosses

gameranx.com:

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
