  • Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith are all members of your party.
  • Cloud with First Strike, Maginfy, and Binding Materia.
  • Tifa was equipped with Time and Haste.
  • Aerith was equipped with a Healing Materia.

To overcome Head Case in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth:

  1. In order to gain the advantage, it is important to stun all of the enemies at the beginning.
  2. Concentrate solely on targeting the Mindflayer.
  3. Efficiently dodge all of the enemy’s AoE attacks.

  5. Utilize Synergy Abilities for Cloud and Tifa to create pressure on Mindflayer.
  6. Use Cloud’s Focused Thrust to strike the Mindflayer and stagger it.
  7. Conclude by constantly launching attacks.
  8. Ensure that all three party members survive.
  9. To complete the boss fight, conquer the Experimental Varghidpolises.

2. Stun All the Enemies Initially

To gain the upper hand in the fight, begin by having Cloud cast Sleep on all enemies. Don’t worry about depleting your ATB charge, as the First Strike Materia will replenish it.

3. Strategies for Defeating the Mindflayer

The main goal of this battle is to increase the synergy bar for both Cloud and Tifa in order to utilize Synergy abilities and defeat the Mindflayer.

During this battle, it is important to remain focused on the Mindflayer and avoid being distracted by the Experimental Varghidpolises. Be sure to direct all attacks towards the Mindflayer and be prepared to dodge any thunderbolt AoE attacks that may be cast by the enemy.

Finishing the Battle with Mindflayer

The best strategy for defeating Mindflayer is to focus on using regular attacks and utilizing Sleep, Synergy Abilities, and Focused Thurst. By using Focused Thurst, you can stagger the Mindflayer and gain extra time to land quick attacks, gradually whittling down the beast’s health.

Continuously spamming these attacks and avoiding taking significant damage will ultimately lead to the defeat of Mindflayer, leaving only the two Experimental Varghidpolises to contend with in the boss fight.

How to Defeat the Experimental Varghidpolises

After the Mindflayer is defeated, the Experimental Varghidpolises will use their abilities such as Deafening Screech, an AoE stun, and a self-immolation attack. However, as long as all three party members are alive, these attacks should not pose a challenge for you to handle.

Easily defeat the remaining enemies to finish the boss fight and receive your rewards.
