There are many different enemies in "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" that players can encounter, including challenging bosses such as Odin.
This particular boss can catch you off-guard if you are not careful, as he has quick attacks that deal devastating damage. A lot of players, particularly those who are on their first playthrough, have a difficult time trying to beat Odin.
Fortunately, this guide offers some useful tips and tricks as well as general recommendations on how to defeat this boss, "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth." Keep these things in mind when fighting Odin so that you, too, can overcome this challenge.
How To Fight Odin
The first thing you need to know about Odin is how to unlock him so that you can engage with him in battle. You need to visit Chadley anytime after starting Chapter 11 to initiate the battle against Odin in the Combat Simulator.
Similar to other summons in "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth," you can seek out three Divine Intel challenges and complete memory puzzles at their Summon Crystals.
What this does is level up the Materia Chadley creatures and give players the option to fight weakened versions of the summons, according to IGN.
How To Defeat Odin
When you are ready to battle against Odin, you need to be extremely cautious, as the boss is very strong. Another noteworthy thing about this enemy is that he has no weaknesses and is also immune to a bunch of status effects.
Fortunately, the boss only has a minor resistance to the majority of debuffs you can use but has a greater resistance to poison. In order to take down Odin, you need to land powerful ATB commands, dodge accordingly, and inflict negative status ailments.
It is recommended to have materia that provides debuffing spells, such as Deprotect and Deshell to make the fight easier. One mechanic of the fight is that avoiding Odin's attacks excites him while getting hit will bore him, Sportskeeda said.
If you get hit by too many attacks, Gjallerhorn's Warning could be triggered, which notifies you that the boss is getting bored of the fight. If you get hit even more after this, then Zantetsuken will probably come next.
This ability will deal 9,999 damage and immediately kill you unless you have Revival Earrings or Reraise cast. It is recommended that you be patient and wait for an opening after Odin attacks to dodge and counter him.
When you successfully pressure the boss, you should use a Focused Thrust and try to get a quick stagger out of him. Be wary because a lot of the boss' attacks have decent area-of-effect hit zones.
Recommended Party Members
When fighting Odin in "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth," it is recommended to have Aerith in your party as your primary healer and magic user.
You should also equip her with revival and healing materia. If you have debuffs, you should give them to her as well, as she has a lot of mana.
Your other party members should focus on damage, and you can choose from a lot of options, such as Cloud, Red XIII, and Yuffie. They are all considered the best because of their combination of attack and speed, according to The Gamer.
