Sea Dragon Boss Fight Tips
Use Bio Spells During Galvanizing Flames Use Plasma Discharge to Apply Electricity Use Yuffie's Lightning Ninjutsu Cast Haste to Speed Up ATB Gauge Cast Faith to Aerith to Buff Her Magic Use Arcane Ward to Cast Spells Twice

Use Bio Spells During Galvanizing Flames

Perhaps the most important aspect of this fight is equipping the Poison Materia and using Bio spells when Sea Dragon uses Galvanizing Flames to quell its flames and pressure it. This is the only way to put the Sea Dragon into a pressured state so it is wise that you equip the Poison materia before fighting this enemy.

How to Get the Poison Materia

Use Plasma Discharge to Apply Electricity on Cloud's Attacks

Use Cloud's Plasma Discharge and attack to increase the stagger meter. This is essential to fill Sea Dragon's stagger gauge as it can only be filled with lightning imbued attacks or Thunder spells.

Unlocked from Completing Biological Intel: Blinded by Light

Plasma Discharge is an enemy skill that can be unlocked by completing the Biological Intel: Blinded by Light combat assignment.

How to Beat Biological Intel: Blinded by Light

Use Yuffie's Lightning Ninjutsu

Similar to Plasma Discharge, Yuffie has an attack that can apply electricity to her basic attacks: Lightning Ninjutsu. This is important to use once you finally pressure the enemy as electric attacks are the only way to fill the stagger gauge of the Sea Dragon.

Unlocked from 4-Point Shuriken

Elemental Ninjutsu can be unlocked by using the 4-Point Shuriken. Mastering the weapon ability will also let you use the ability even without equipping the weapon.

Cast Haste to Speed Up ATB Gauge

Equip the Time materia and cast Haste to party members so that they can build up their ATB Gauge quickly. This is essential so that Aerith can cast Thunder spells quickly and Cloud can capitalize on Sea Dragon's pressured state with an electric Focused Thrust.

Time Materia Earrings Effects and How to Get

Cast Faith to Aerith to Buff Her Magic

Equip the Empowerment materia to Yuffie and cast Faith to Aerith to buff her magical attacks like Thunder spells which will deal heavy damage against Sea Dragon.

How to Get the Empowerment Materia

Use Arcane Ward to Cast Spells Twice

After buffing Aerith with Faith, use Aerith's Arcane Ward to cast Thunder spells (preferably Thundaga) twice. This will heavily damage Sea Dragon and increase its stagger meter when you finally pressure it.

Unlocked through Guard Stick

The Arcane Ward ability can be learned by equipping the Guard Stick and mastering its weapon ability. You can then use Arcane Ward without equipping Guard Stick after mastering it.

Details
One of the guardians protecting the pirate king's treasure. Though known as the ''slumbering keeper,'' it surely sleeps with one eye open as none have yet laid a finger on its booty. When enveloped in Galvanizing Flames, it will unleash powerful, fiery counterattacks. Poisoning it will quench its flames and pressure it. Only lightning-aspected attacks will fill the stagger gauge.
