Turks:Reno is a recurring boss in Final Fantasy VII, who can be fought a maximum of four times during the course of the game. Only the first of these fights is mandatory. The player can choose to avoid the locations of the possible second and third battles and can refuse to fight the fourth.

Reno is often accompanied by Rude, and at one point fights alongside Elena.

[edit] Battles

[edit] First Battle - Sector 7

Cloud Strife, Barret Wallace, and Tifa Lockhart first encounter Reno on top of the Sector 7 Support Pillar.

Reno is resistant to lightning and immune to most status effects. His best attack is Electro-Mag Rod, which can temporarily stun a party member. If a party member gets stunned, heal them until they recover.

Reno's Pyramid affects a party member much like Petrify; however, having an unaffected member attack the pyramid will break it.

Use Limit Breaks when they're available and keep the party's HP up. If a character gets trapped in a pyramid, free them immediately. Fire and Ice are effective against Reno and tend to do twice as much damage as physical attacks. However, Bolt does half as much damage as usual.

Reno will escape once his HP is depleted.

[edit] Second Battle - Gongaga

The party next encounters Reno alongside Rude in the Gongaga Jungle. This is an optional location that can be skipped over on the party's way to Cosmo Canyon.

If Reno is defeated before Rude, he will run away. If this occurs, the party receives no EXP, AP, or Gil. The party also does not receive Reno's drop item, the Fairy Tale.

[edit] Third Battle - Sunken Gelnika

The party encounters Reno for the third time at the Sunken Gelnika. This is another optional location; the player can choose not to visit this area. In this fight, Reno is again accompanied by Rude.

Reno can only be found here if the party travels to the Sunken Gelnika immediately after receiving the submarine. If the player misses their chance, any visit to the Gelnika will find it empty of Turks.

[edit] Fourth Battle - Midgar Underground

The fourth and final time that the party may fight Reno is beneath Midgar, in the Sector 8 Underground. This fight is optional, and may be skipped by telling the Turks that "you don't feel like fighting."

In this battle, Reno fights alongside Rude and Elena. Once one of the three Turks is beaten, all of them will run away, meaning no EXP or items from the other two.

Reno has the lowest vitality of the three Turks, if you want ending this battle quick, just focus your attacks to Reno.
