Summons are a staple of the Final Fantasy series, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth takes them to the next level with summon crystals. Here’s everything you need to know about these crucial elements.
What are Summon Crystals in Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
Imagine historical records imbued with the essence of legendary beings. That’s essentially what summon crystals are. Each summon, representing a powerful deity or creature, has three crystals scattered across their respective region within the vast world of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Why Are They Important?
While obtaining the summon materia still requires defeating the summon in Chadley’s combat simulator, these crystals offer significant benefits:
- Reduced Difficulty in Summon Battles: Locating all three crystals for a specific summon lowers the difficulty of their simulated fight. This can be crucial for challenging battles and acquiring coveted materia.
- Strengthened Materia: Each crystal you find increases the level of the corresponding materia. This translates to more abilities and increased damage when you call upon your summons, making them even more potent in combat.
How to Find Them
Hunting crystals solely through exploration can be arduous. Here are your two best options:
- Follow Guidestones: These peculiar, patterned rocks often appear in clusters. Follow a trail and destroy any glowing ones to release a guiding light leading you to a hidden crystal.
- Activate Remnawave Towers: Just like any open-world game, Remnawave towers grant access to more of the map upon activation. These towers also reveal nearby points of interest, including summon crystals, marking them on your map for easy access.
With these valuable insights, you’re well on your way to unlocking the full potential of both your summon materia and your exploration prowess in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Remember, the world is yours to discover, and the rewards for venturing beyond the beaten path are truly legendary.
