FF7 Rebirth: How to Get Enemy Skill Materia

Players can obtain the Enemy Skill Materia by completing Biological Intel: Known Thine Enemy, a Combat Simulator challenge that is offered by Chadley after activating the first Remnawave Tower in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Grasslands. To beat that challenge, fans must simply defeat three Velociwings without becoming incapacitated, and that is a very easy thing to do. Indeed, those enemies stand no chance against the three party members that players will bring into the simulation, and the Enemy Skill Materia that they receive will come equipped with the Sonic Boom skill.
