Magic Elements Pt. 1 Guide

To complete Magic Elements Pt. 1 , you will need to use Fire, Ice, and Lightning Materia to attack an enemy with each of these weaknesses. All you need to do is equip the right materia, find an enemy, then attack it with the spell that it is weak to. When an enemy weakness is exploited, it will say “WEAKNESS” above them. Do this for each element.

The following enemies are some of the ones that you can easily find and use to complete this intel report.

Best monsters for completing this report

Element (Materia Name) Enemy
Fire Security Officer
Elite Security Officer
Ice Gorger
Wererat
Guard Hound

Scorpion Sentinel

For the most part, Human Enemies are weak to Fire, Biological Enemies are weak to Ice, and Mechanical Enemies are weak to Lightning.

Learn weaknesses by assessing the enemy

You can tell an enemy's weakness by using the Assess Materia to scan it. Several Battle Reports require you to scan a certain number of enemies, so scanning enemies and finding their weaknesses will help you clear both reports simultaneously.
