Throughout the course of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, players will be completing a number of battle intel reports for a young Shinra employee named Chadley. One of these reports, battle intel report 18, is called MP Consumption, and it asks players to master all 12 types of Magic Materia. For those fans that are currently trying complete Final Fantasy 7 Remake's MP Consumption challenge, this guide will provide suggestions for doing it quickly.
To note, before a player can finish MP Consumption in Final Fantasy 7 Remake they will first need to obtain the 12 types of Magic Materia, which are the green ones. Here is where fans can find all 12 types of Magic Materia in FF7 Remake:
- Healing: Given to Cloud early in Chapter 2
- Cleansing: Purchased from vending machines starting in Chapter 5
- Revival: Obtained in Chapter 4 after beating Roche for the second time
- Fire: Cloud has from the start
- Ice: Purchased from item shop in the Sector 7 slums starting in Chapter 3
- Lightning: Barret has from the start
- Barrier: Given to Cloud in Chapter 4
- Wind: Unlocked by completing battle intel report 2
- Poison: Purchased in Chapter 5 from the vending machine after the fight with Queen Grashtrike
- Binding: Found in the Sector 6 slums in Chapter 9, near the second mechanical arm puzzle
- Subversion: Dropped by Ghoul in Chapter 11
- Time: Earned by completing the Missing Children side quest in Chapter 14
With all of the Magic Materia identified, players can now proceed to complete Final Fantasy 7 Remake's MP Consumption, which is done by getting one of each type to Max level. Thus, the path to completing MP Consumption fast in FF7 Remake is to level up Materia fast, and here are some suggestions for doing that:
- Use the Pedometer Materia: Early in Chapter 14 players will find a Pedometer Materia outside of Aerith's house, and it will transform into an AP Up Materia after Cloud has walked 5,000 steps. With this Materia equipped fans will earn double AP from battles, and players should pair it with the Materia that they are trying to master for MP Consumption to level it quickly.
- Finish the Game: In Final Fantasy 7 Remake's post-game, players will begin receiving triple AP from battles. Thus, fans that complete the game before tackling MP Consumption will be able to get through the battle intel report much faster.
- Grind: There are a number of places to grind AP fast in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and players should simply visit the one that suits them best to complete MP Consumption. Some recommended FF7 Remake grinding spots include the Collapsed Expressway in Chapter 14, the Corneo Colosseum, and the Shinra Combat Simulator.
To summarize, players that want to finish MP Consumption in Final Fantasy 7 Remake quickly should transform the Pedometer Materia into the AP Up Materia and finish the game. They should then equip the AP Up Materia alongside any Magic Materia that they have not gotten to Max level and head to their preferred grinding spot. Indeed, this is the fastest way to complete FF7 Remake's battle intel report 18, and it should not take players too long to earn their MP Absorption Materia.
