How to Beat White Terror

White Terror Boss Fight Tips
Deplete its Energy to Apply Pressure Block or Evade Earsplitting Howl Unleash Strong Attacks once it's Staggered

Deplete its Energy to Apply Pressure

White Terror will gradually gather Energy during battle. You can deplete it each time you successfully block its attacks or keep damaging with attacks. Applying pressure on White Terror will make it more susceptible to being staggered, turning the battle into your favor.

Block or Evade Earsplitting Howl

Earsplitting Howl is a barrage of attacks from White Terror that can hit all your characters in battle. Move away from White Terror once you see the prompt so you will have more room to dodge or block it.

Unleash Strong Attacks once it's Staggered

All enemies suffer from increased damage once they are staggered. Don't let that chance pass by and use all of your powerful attacks once White Terror is staggered.

If you have Limit Break up for any characters, don't hesitate to use them to eliminate White Terror faster!

Parry the White Terror's Attacks

You can parry the White Terror's attacks to negate the incoming damage. Do this by perfectly timing your block at the exact moment the White Terror attacks you. Having a Precision Defense Focus Materia extends the timing window, allowing you to do so much more consistently.

How to Counter and Parry Attacks

Keep Your Distance Against Earsplitting Howl

Immediately move away as soon as the White Terror casts the Earsplitting Howl. This ability summons multiple fire projectiles that can wipe out your entire team. If you are having a difficult time parrying or dodging all of them, you can instead keep your distance and hold block to drastically reduce its damage. Equipping a Steadfast Block Materia will further reduce the incoming damage and slightly fill up your ATB gauge.

Increase Survivability With Barret's Ability

At the start of the fight, try to immediately use Lifesaver and Steelskin to reduce all incoming damage to your party. This will allow your whole team to survive a direct hit from the Earsplitting Howl.

Barret Best Builds and Weapons

Learn Lifesaver From Barrage Blaster

You can learn the Lifesaver ability from the Barrage Blaster weapon. If you are able to max out its proficiency, you will be able to use the Lifesaver ability even if you have a different weapon equipped.

Barrage Blaster Abilities, Stats, and Skills

Use Barret to Build Up the Stagger Meter

Use Barret's Bonus Round ability along with Overcharge to build up the stagger meter as you deal damage against the White Terror. This will give you a short window to deal as much damage as possible before the White Terror can get up.

How to Pressure and Stagger Enemies

Use Limit Breaks and Synergy Abilities

Upon staggering the White Terror, use all of your powerful attacks and unleash your limit break to finish off the White Terror.

List of Limit Breaks

Use Magnify and Healing Materia

Since you need to consistently heal all members of your party, it is highly recommended that you use Curaga + Magnify to keep them all alive. However, if you do not have a Magnify Materia available, using the Prayer Materia is also a good option rather than healing your team members one by one.
