Equip the Ice Materia to Cast Blizzard Spells

Lavalisks are very weak to Ice and can easily pressure them. Equip the Ice Materia and cast Blizzard to pressure your enemies and deal damage to stagger them.

Choose Dynamic Difficulty if Your Level is Way Higher than the Fiend Intel

If you are trying to pressure the enemy and your level is way too high, there is a chance that you'll defeat the enemy even before pressuring them. To solve this, switch to Dynamic difficulty as the enemies' level will scale with you, providing a challenge and an opportunity to complete the Fiend Intel's mission
