Much like in the original game, Summoning Materia plays an important role in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, allowing players to call forth powerful creatures to help turn the tide in battle. They'll start the game with a few orbs already in their possession, but will have opportunities to unlock more powerful Summons as they make their way through the main story.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Burning Questions
Those hoping to learn more about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth have come to the right place, as we have answers to all the most frequently asked questions.
Phoenix is the second such Summon, with players able to add the eternal bird to their collection during Chapter 4 of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Doing so is highly advised, as it's arguably one of the best summonable creatures in the entire game. Thankfully, unlocking Phoenix is pretty easy, though fully upgrading it will take a bit of work on the player's part.
How to Get Phoenix in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
As with most of the other Summon Materia in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players will need to beat the mighty Phoenix in Chadley's combat simulator in order to unlock it. The first chance that they'll get to do so comes right at the beginning of Chapter 4, with Phoenix serving as the main Summon for the Junon Region. Players don't have to do anything to unlock the battle besides beginning the chapter and can find Chadley in a few different locations, including Under Junon, Gabe's Ranch, and the Crow's Nest.
How to Fully Upgrade Phoenix in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Those hoping to upgrade their Summon Materia will need to find the three Divine Sanctuaries scattered around the Junon Region and complete the memory/rhythm mini-games therein.
Phoenix Sanctuary 1 Location & Puzzle Solution (Junon Region Divine Intel 1)
The first Phoenix Sanctuary is to the north of Gabe's Ranch. To reach it, players will first need to wrangle the Junon Region Chocobo, Belle, which will allow them to climb up vertical walls. The Crystal Memory Matrix solution is Square, Square, Triangle, Triangle.
Phoenix Sanctuary 2 Location & Puzzle Solution (Junon Region Divine Intel 2)
The second Phoenix Sanctuary is in the northeastern part of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Junon Region and can be reached by following the path north from the Hunting Grounds area, which is to the east of the Mythrill Mine entrance. The Crystal Memory Matrix solution is X, Square, X, Square.
Phoenix Sanctuary 3 Location & Puzzle Solution (Junon Region Divine Intel 3)
The third Phoenix Sanctuary can only be accessed after players have unlocked the Crow's Nest area. Upon doing so, they'll want to exit via the settlement's South Gate and then follow the path around and beneath the settlement. The Crystal Memory Matrix solution is Circle, X, Circle, X.
