Final Fantasy VII/Summon Materia (2024)

Summon (red) materia is used to summon several different beasts, each dealing various types and amounts of damage. Summon materia is acquired at different points throughout the game, as outlined in each creature's (or materia's) individual section.

All of the summon materia have 5 stars; each star allows the creature to be summoned in combat once. Thus one-star summon materia can be used once in combat and 5-star one (i.e., mastered one) five times. Master Summon materia can be used to summon all creatures without any limitations.

Summons with added effects[edit]

Probably the most useful ones, because they do more than just dealing damage.

Choco/Mog[edit]

Got from the Chocobo Farm. Talk to the chocobos, and choose the top dialog option ("Wark"). Watch the chocobos dance and you'll receive it.

Choco/Mog

Deathblow!: summons a chocobo carrying a moogle. The chocobo runs runs past and collides with the enemy (dreadful). The attack causes Non-elemental damage, and may cause Stop effect on enemies.

Fat Chocobo (1/16 chance): a fat chocobo falls from the skies and flattens the enemy (fearsome). The attack deals non-elemental damage.

Phoenix[edit]

Found on the top of Fort Condor after the final battle for the Huge Materia.

Phoenix

Phoenix Flame: Fries the enemies with phoenix fire (Fire-type damage). If any of the party members are down, they are recovered to full health (all status effects stay); practically, Life2 is cast on all party members.

Hades[edit]

Found in the Sunken Gelnika.

Hades

Black Cauldron: Summons the god of the dead to do several eldritch things. Causes damage as well as eight status ailments on the enemy: Poison, Confusion, Sleep, Silence, Mini, Frog, Slow and Paralysis.

Ramuh

Judgment Bolt: Ramuh jolts enemies with thrilling thunder strikes, dealing Lightning-type damage.

Titan[edit]

In the abandoned Gongaga Reactor which can be accessed any time after getting out of the Desert Prison. Go to the reactor area and the Turks will show up; after the Turks leave, inspect the hole they looked into in the reactor casing.

Titan

Anger of the Land: Titan grabs the very ground the enemies stand on and topples it over, crushing them and causing Earth-type damage. This attack misses flying enemies.

Leviathan[edit]

Tidal Wave: A great big wave drowns the enemies for Water-type damage.

Kjata / Kujata[edit]

Found in the Great Glacier, in a cave somewhere on the east side of the big snowfield. Need to touch the hot springs elsewhere first, then come to the cave and fight the person guarding it.

Alexander

Judgment: Alexander, colloquially put, lays some justice on the enemy's rear. Deals Holy damage.

Typhoon / Typhon[edit]

Found high in the branches in the Ancient Forest near Cosmo Canyon.

Typhoon / Typhon

Disintegration: A mysterious two-headed thing, last seen with his buddy Ultros in FF6, appears and causes quite a typhoon. Causes Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Ice damage.

Non-elemental summons[edit]

Equally effective against any enemy.

Odin[edit]

In the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim. Open the safe upstairs using the clues found all over the place, and fight the boss Lost Number.

Odin

Steel Bladed Sword: Odin rides by and slashes all enemies in half, killing them instantly.

Gunge Lance (If the enemy is immune to instant death attacks): Odin takes his lance Gungnir and throws it to the heavens, and it impales the enemy as it lands. Deals non-elemental damage to one enemy.

Bahamut[edit]

In the Temple of the Ancients after defeating the Red Dragon.

Bahamut

Mega Flare: Bahamut fries the enemies. Deals non-elemental damage.

Neo Bahamut[edit]

Found in the Whirlwind Maze.

Giga Flare: Bahamut hoists the enemies into the air, then roasts them. Deals non-elemental damage.

You need to have Bahamut and Neo Bahamut materias, as well as the Huge Blue Materia. Touch the Huge Blue Materia in Bugenhagen's laboratory to get Bahamut ZERO.

Bahamut ZERO

Tera Flare: Bahamut fries the site from the orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Non-elemental damage as well.

Knights of Round[edit]

Found on the Round Isle, in the northeastern corner of the world. It is not marked on the map. This island cannot be landed on, so you will need a Golden Chocobo to access it.

Knights of Round

Ultimate End: The jolly lot of Camelot, the 13 knights of the round table, come forth from some mystical realm or other. Each knight, in turn, smashes each of the enemies for ludicrous amounts of damage (up to 9999 points each, for a grand total of up to 129,987 points of damage, not accounting for armor and other protections). Each of these attacks are non-elemental.

Master Summon[edit]

The wielder of Master Summon is able to use all Summon spells, and it takes only one Materia slot. It can be obtained by getting each of the other Summon Materias to master level and touching the Huge Red Materia in Bugenhagen's laboratory. Alternatively, it can be obtained by defeating the Emerald Weapon and trading the Earth Harp on Kalm.

Summary table[edit]

Default sorting is according to game progression. Materia that can be permanently missed is highlighted in red. The yellow W-summon materia is included in this list because it only affects red Summon materia.
