Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: How To Unlock All Summons

Summons are powerful allies you’ll unlock as early as Chapter 2 in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. When a battle drags on long enough, a Summon Meter will appear and count down to the moment you can bring a big bad Summon to join the battle. Every character has one Summon Materia slot – and summons enhance your stats when equipped.

Whenever you’re in a tough spot, use Summons to deal damage and draw attention away from your team – they literally fight side-by-side with your party like a fourth character. Here’s how to unlock them, how to upgrade them, and how to beat them.

Summons become available as soon as you enter a new region. There are six regions and one summon available per region. Talk to Chadley and use the Combat Simulator to access a Summon Materia Combat Challenge.
