How to Prevent Quick Nap

Save ATB Gauge and Use Abilities to Prevent Quick Nap

Mandrakes can use Quick Naps really quickly and your only way to prevent it is to save ATB Gauge and use Abilities before they can use the move. Use a quick Ability like Cloud's Triple Slash or Firebolt Blade to cancel their move.

How to Beat Wailing Weed

Pressure Mandrake by Using Fire or Ice Magic

FF7 Rebirth - Fire Materia

How to Pressure Mandrake
Exploiting its elemental weakness will pressure it. Inflicting enough damage will cause it to nap, but hitting it with powerful offensive abilities will wake it up again.

Pressure Mandrake by casting fire or ice spells, so you will need to equip a Fire and Ice Materia in order to cast spells that are strong against these enemies.

Casting Fire and Ice spells will pressure the enemy easily. Make sure to avoid using a character with high magic stat like Aerith as Mandrakes have low HP and they can be easily killed without being staggered.

How to Pressure and Stagger Enemies

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

Dynamic Difficulty and Difficulty Settings: Is There a Difficulty Trophy?

Retry if You Fail an Objective

If you fail an objective such as pressuring the enemy, you can always retry the Fiend Intel by holding the Triangle button.

Equip Assess Materia to Scan Enemy Information

FF7 Rebirth - Assess Your Opponents

It is highly recommended to equip the Assess Materia and Assess the Fiend to figure out their pressure conditions and also what their weaknesses or resistances are.

How to Get the Assess Materia
