1. Chapter 1: As you ascend the mountain towards the Nibelheim mako reactor, keep an eye out for a cliff in the Northern Ridge area. Climb down and locate a chest containing the Magnify Materia. Please note that you won’t be able to keep this Materia after completing the Nibelheim tutorial chapter.
2. Chapter 8: Once Cait Sith joins your party, you will automatically obtain the Magnify Materia, which will be equipped to him.
3. Chapter 12: Complete the side quest titled “Victim of Circumstance” in the Cosmo Canyon region. This quest rewards you with the Magnify Materia upon completion.

Completing the “Victim of Circumstance” Side Quest

To initiate the “Victim of Circumstance” side quest, reach chapter 12 of the main story and head back to the Cosmo Canyon region. Check the town noticeboard to accept the quest. Here’s a step-by-step guide to completing it:

1. Purchase the Vibrodetector from the Moogle Emporium for three Moogle Medals. Ensure that the Emporium is at level 4 to access this item.
2. Use the Vibrodetector to track the signals. When the detector turns blue, it indicates you’re heading in the right direction. If it turns red, you’re going the wrong way.
3. Once the signal circle becomes smaller, you’re close to your target. Keep tracking the signal three times to locate and defeat the Gigaworm near the Dried Oasis Tower.

Upon defeating the Gigaworm, you will be rewarded with the Magnify Materia and gain 10 Party Level experience.

Effectively Using the Magnify Materia

Now that you have the Magnify Materia, let’s discuss how to use it effectively. This Materia should be placed in a linked slot on your equipment and paired with a green-colored magic Materia such as Ice, Fire, Lightning, or Aero.

When paired, the corresponding spell will hit multiple enemies in a targeted area when cast. The potency of the spell is modified based on the level of your Magnify Materia. Here’s a breakdown of the effects at each level:

• 1-star: No AP required. Expands the range of the linked Materia, but with a potency modification of -60% when expanded.
• 2-star: Requires 500 AP. Expands the range of the linked Materia, with a potency modification of -45% when expanded.
• 3-star: Requires 1,500 AP. Expands the range of the linked Materia, with a potency modification of -25% when expanded.

At the base level, the spell will deal 40% damage to splash targets. However, as you level up the Magnify Materia, you’ll increase the potency and eventually be able to deal 75% damage to splash targets.

To level up your Materia, you’ll need to farm AP. For a quick guide on how to obtain AP efficiently, refer to our dedicated guide.

With the Magnify Materia in your arsenal, you can unleash devastating area-of-effect spells on multiple enemies, making battles more manageable and efficient.
