As in mostFinal Fantasygames, Summons play an important role inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth, with fourteen of them available in total. With its iconic Divine Judgment attack, Alexander is one of the most powerful Summons in the game, thoughfully upgrading the Summoning Materiawill require a bit of patience on the player’s part.
This is because players won’t be able to find all three Alexander Sanctuaries during the chapter that Alexander first becomes available. In fact, they won’t be able to find any of them. As they make their way through the main story ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth, though, they’ll gain access to a few new areas; allowing them to finally upgrade the Summon to its highest level.
How to Get Alexander in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
To unlock Alexander, players will need to defeat the Summon in Chadley’s combat simulator. The Alexander battle becomes available at the beginning of Chapter 6 once players have arrived inCosta del Sol. However, they’ll have to wait until Chapter 9 before they can fully upgrade the Materia, meaning those hoping to get Alexander sooner will need to fight it at full might, or in its slightly weaker form if they first pay a visit to the first Alexander Sanctuary in Chapter 7.
How to Fully Upgrade Alexander in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
As is the case with most of theother Summons inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players will need to analyze the Summon Crystals in the three Divine Sanctuaries if they’re to fully upgrade Alexander. However, there’s something of a catch this time around. While The first Alexander Sanctuary can be accessed in Chapter 7, the others are located in the desert section of the Corel Region, which cannot be accessed until Chapter 9.
