The Materia Keeper is a boss in Final Fantasy VII.
[edit] Strategy
It is recommended that you have an Enemy Skill Materia equipped on at least one character for this battle, as the battle with Materia Keeper is the first of only a few chances in the game to learn the enemy skill Trine. The only other enemies to teach Trine are Godo and Stilvas. It is vulnerable to both Stop and Poison, so you might wish to use the Choco/Mog summon which has a chance of inflicting stop, or you use any Bio spell to poison it.
If you have recently acquired Vincent and are using him, you may not want to use his Galian Beast limit break as the attack Beast Flare heals the Materia Keeper a great amount.
Towards the end of the battle, Materia Keeper will use Cure 2 to restore its health.
[edit] Attacks
- Combo attack: This is a very dangerous attack as he might use it at the start of the fight.
- Horn: This is one of his weakest attack but it is worrying if you are low on health.
- Slice: This is his weakest attack but he will often use it on the weakest party member.
- Cure 2: He will use this every time his health is under a thousand to heal himself, which is very annoying, but if the party is strong enough this will not be a problem.
- Trine: This is his strongest attack and the only way to weaken it is to use Big Guard. This is also an Enemy Skill so learning it will prove useful.
