Complete all Cosmo Canyon simulations in final fantasy vii rebirth, including Bahamut Arisen, Flower of Destruction, and That's the Smell.

Summon Entity: Bahamut Arisen

Bahamut Arisen is a challenging boss in final fantasy vii rebirth that deals both close and long-ranged damage. To defeat it, focus on attacking its wings when they become vulnerable, particularly when Bahamut Arisen uses Particle Charge. Be wary of the particles it drops, as they can inflict significant damage. Use synergy abilities to pressure Bahamut Arisen, with Tifa and Cloud being a strong pairing. Aerith can provide healing, or Cait Sith can offer luck-based buffs. Equip Haste Materia to build charges quickly and ATB Boost Materia to double charges. Ensure you switch between characters to build synergy efficiently. Defeating Bahamut Arisen rewards you with the Bahamut Arisen Materia, allowing you to summon it.

Cosmo Battle Intel: Flower of Destruction

This three-round battle unlocks after defeating Drohdroh and Bashfulisk. Round three focuses on these two enemies. To pressure Drohdroh, avoid its Fury Bomber attack by keeping moving; Red XIII is recommended for easy dodging. Bashfulisk's weaknesses change, so use Assess to identify and exploit them. Round two requires defeating a Gigant Bomb before it explodes; it is weak to Ice Materia. The reward for completing this simulation is the First Strike Materia.

Cosmo Battle Intel: Nature’s Vengeance

This three-round battle unlocks after defeating Pyrowire and Elder Golem. Pyrowire is weak to Ice Materia. The Elder Golem will naturally pressure itself as it attacks, so dodge and block until it can be staggered. Completing this simulation rewards you with the Level Boost Materia.

Cosmo Battle Intel: Antediluvian Memories

This three-round battle unlocks after defeating Sahagin Warrior and Shirdal. Sahagin Warrior is weak to Ice Materia. Equip Cleansing Materia to use Ensuna and counter Petrify. Shirdal is weak to Lightning Materia. Completing this simulation rewards you with the Magic Up Materia.

Cosmo Canyon Region Intel: Level 1

Unlocked after battling 15 enemies in the Cosmo Canyon region, this five-round battle features various enemies from the area. Equipping your party with different elemental Materia is recommended to exploit various weaknesses. Upon completion, you will receive the two-star Barrier Materia.

Cosmo Canyon Region Intel: Level 2

Unlocked after completing Level 1 and defeating 22 enemies in the region (requires Chapter 12), this intel follows a similar strategy to Level 1 with a well-rounded team. Completing this grants the two-star MP Up Materia.

Biological Intel: That’s the Smell

This fight unlocks after assessing 15 enemies in Cosmo Canyon, defeating the Great Malboro in the Gongaga region, and having a three-star Enemy Skill Materia. You cannot heal yourself during this fight, but you can use Esuna from Cleansing Materia to remove status effects like Bad Breath or Rancid Breath. Dodging is crucial to avoid damage, especially from Fetid Haze. A ranged character is recommended to maintain distance from breath attacks. The Great Malboro is weak to Ice magic, which will help stagger it quickly. Upon completion, you will gain the Enemy Skill: Rancid Breath.
