Bombard the boss with a combination of magic and physical attacks, watching your HP and healing when you get too low. When you reduce the boss’ HP to about half, it will revert to either its pure purple or pure red form. If it turns purple, it will be resistant to physical attacks and use physical moves itself. Use magic to damage it. If it turns red, it will be resistant to magic and use magic abilities itself. Use physical attacks on it.

AYou will obtain Cosmo Memory after defeating the boss. This is Red XIII’s final Limit Break. You will also obtain Odin’s summon materia and the key to open the basement. You can find Vincent in the previously locked room down the spiral stairs. Use the key to unlock it and examine the coffin in the middle to talk to Vincent. He will go back into the coffin again. Talk to him one more time and leave. When you try to go back up the stairs, Vincent will join you.

Vincent is an optional character, much like Yuffie. However, he is an invaluable party member thanks to his ability to morph into powerful creatures in battle.

Materia Keeper Boss Guide
When the battle starts, cast Big Guard when available. Avoid using any fire magic or summoning Ifrit, as the boss absorbs fire attacks. You can use all other summons except for Ifrit and unleash limit breaks when you get the chance. Vincent’s Galian Beast morph uses fire-based attacks, so avoid using him at all costs. Poisoning the boss with Bio is also a viable strategy.

After the battle, you will receive Jem Ring. Don’t forget to take the Counter materia before exiting the area.

5) Rocket Town
