How to Beat Guard Spider

Equip Thunder Materia

The Guard Spider boss is weak to Thunder materia. You can find Thunder Materia as early as Chapter 2 inside a supply pod found in the Shinra Building: Briefing Room.

How to Get the Thunder Materia

Dodge to The Spider's Back

The Guard Spider's attacks come in very slowly. Dodge its attacks until you reach its back to deal Critical Hits. Use your Thunder Materia to deal even more damage.

Guard the Electromagnetic Field

The Guard Spider's Electromagnetic Field attack deals multiple bouts of Thunder Damage. Dodging this particular attack is hard due to it having multiple hits.

Simply Guard the Electromagnetic Field instead as while you still take damage, it will be considerably less than trying to dodge it.

Run Sideways to Avoid Spider Net

The Spider Net attack will cause the Guard Spider to jump high in the air and shoot up a spider net. You can easily avoid this by simpling running to the left or to the right.
