How to Get the Leviathan Materia in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

The Leviathan Materia is a summon materia that allows players to summon the powerful sea serpent, Ramuh, to attack enemies. Unlike other summon materia, Leviathan cannot be leveled up, and its power is fixed at level 1. This makes it a valuable asset for gamers who have played the first chapter of Final Fantasy VII Remake, as they will be able to use it in battles throughout Rebirth.

The first step to obtaining the Leviathan Materia is to have a save file from the previous entry, Final Fantasy VII Remake. After booting up Rebirth, select the 'Check Saved Data' option from the main menu. The game will then search for save files from the base game, its Intergrade DLC chapter, and the FF7 Rebirth Demo. If the game detects a save file, you will be rewarded with the Leviathan Materia.

For those who have not played the first chapter of Final Fantasy VII Remake, do not worry. You can still obtain the Leviathan Materia by purchasing the Intergrade DLC chapter and playing through it. This will not only give you access to the Leviathan Materia but also enhance your overall gaming experience as the DLC chapter introduces new characters, locations, and gameplay elements.

Once you have the Leviathan Materia, it is time to equip it to your characters. The materia can be equipped to any character, but it is recommended to give it to a character with high magic stats as it is a magic-based summon. This will make the attacks more potent and increase the damage dealt to enemies.

To use the Leviathan Materia in battle, you need to build up your ATB (Active Time Battle) gauge by attacking enemies. Once the gauge is full, you can summon Ramuh by selecting the 'Summon' option from the command menu. Ramuh will then appear on the battlefield and unleash its powerful Water-based attacks on enemies, dealing massive damage. The summon will also end with its signature finishing move, Tidal Wave, which can take out multiple enemies at once.

It is essential to note that the Leviathan Materia can only be used once per battle. Once it is used, the materia will disappear from your materia slots and cannot be used again until the next battle. This makes it crucial to use it strategically, especially in boss battles, to maximize its effectiveness.
