Crisis Core Reunion: How To Beat Wyerd?

Wyerd in Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion is among many enemies that are considered one of the toughest. In the remastered version along with the original version of the game on the PSP, many players have struggled against the mighty beast. Despite being bulky and having a good defense Wyerd is very slow when it comes to its movement. Its slow movement creates the perfect basis for an effective battle strategy in Crisis Core Reunion.

About Wyerd

Wyerd can be considered a mini-boss in Crisis Core Reunion due to its sheer resistance in battle. The extremely strong enemy is capable of dealing massive amounts of damage to Zack and can kill him in just a few moves. Fortunately, Wyerd’s attacks and movement are quite slow, which allows the player to timely dodge or evade the incoming powerful attacks.

As for its appearance, the Wyerd has a thick maroon-colored coat. It is a four-legged creature and has feet that resemble a dinosaur. Wyerd’s face is quite intimidating to look at, which is capped by two large horns. Before facing the mighty beast in Crisis Core Reunion, it is essential to learn a bit more about it.

Therefore, it’s best to revise your strategy if you keep dying against the Wyerd. The first thing you should do is familiarize yourself with its attacks in Crisis Core Reunion.

Here’s a strategy to take down Wyerd:

Moves to Watch Out For:

1. Bad Odor: This move releases a damaging gas that can cause Status Ailments.
2. Tackle: Wyerd charges forward and can deal significant damage.
3. Gaia’s Wrath: The most dangerous move, Wyerd stomps twice, creating shockwaves that can be lethal.

   

4. Horn Charge: Wyerd thrusts its horns forward multiple times.

Battle Strategy:

1. Level Up: Make sure Zack is at least level 25-30 before facing Wyerd.
2. HP Up Materias: Equip HP Up Materias and have healing items on hand since Wyerd’s attacks are powerful.
3. Elemental Materias: Avoid using elemental Materias (e.g., Fire, Ice, Thunder) as Wyerd is highly resistant to them.
4. Darkness Materia: Equip the “Darkness” Command Materia to enable special attacks that expend HP to deal non-magic/physical damage.

   

5. Costly Punch: Use the Costly Punch, which deals significant damage, and can be created through Materia Fusion.
6. DMW and Limit Breaks: Make use of the DMW and Zack’s Limit Break moves, such as Octaslash.
7. Summons: Consider using summons like Bahamut to deal additional damage.
