Throughout Final Fantasy VII Remake, you’ll find a number of materials that will come in handy when defeating some of the toughest enemies. One of the best materials to find is enemy skill material. This item will allow you to copy and mimic the attacks of different enemies, then use those attacks against other enemies. Additionally, finding all attacks for enemy skill material will unlock the Master of Mimicry trophy.
Finding the material itself isn’t too difficult, but finding all the skills can be. In order to earn the Master of Mimicry trophy, players will need to find every enemy that has a learnable skill and use that skill against them. Finding the right enemies can be extremely frustrating.

Where to find material for enemy skills
Matters are small balls of energy created by a planet. These orbs can help players boost their character’s stats, exploit an enemy’s weakness, or even summon an NPC teammate. The first step in obtaining enemy skill materials is to find Chadley. You will need to complete Chadley’s Battle Intel 16: Monster Bio Part 4. This will be unlocked when you reach Chapter 14. Battle Intel 16 will require you to use assessment material on a total of 30 enemy types. Every enemy you’ve evaluated up to this point will count towards the goal of 30 enemy types.
Enemy Skills material is command based material. Once equipped for players, using the enemy’s skill will be in the “Skills” section of the games action screen. In order to use any enemy skill, you will need to find the enemy and have them use the skill on you. To get all enemy skills, you’ll need to complete the game once and then double down on hard mode.

Enemy skills
There are plenty of enemies that players will be able to find and gain skills from. A variety of attacks will help players secure victory against tougher enemies. Here is a list of skills you can learn, which enemy has the skill you need, and where to find the enemy.
Algid aura
Algid Aura is a great ice attack that players can learn. Generates a radius around the character that will deal ice damage to all nearby enemies. This attack is great for pairing with a melee fighter for extra damage, such as Cloud or Tifa, and is extremely useful against fire-based enemies.
Algid Aura is mostly found with Cerulean Drakes. You’ll be able to find these enemies in the side quest, “I Just Flew Out of the Graveyard,” in Chapter 3, Chapter 11, or Chapter 15. To gain this ability, you’ll need to have Cerulean Drake hit you with an attack.
Spirit siphon
This attack will create a large area of attack that will take HP from enemies and give it to you. This attack is definitely useful when you need a quick health boost but don’t want to stop fighting. It’s also useful when multiple enemies surround your character.
To find this skill, you will need to find Phandom. These enemies can be found in the side quest in Chapter 14, “The Missing Children,” or in the Shinra Combat Simulator in Chapter 16. You will have to use “vs. 3-C SOLDIER candidates” fights.
Self-destruction
This attack is probably best used as a last resort. The self-destruct will trigger a massive area of effect explosion around the user. Does a lot of damage, but incapacitates the user. It’s great for dire situations where there’s no other way to escape or when you’re going to die anyway.
There are actually quite a few enemies that have this skill. You can find it on Smogger in Chapter 8 or in the slums of Sector 5 in Chapter 14. Varghidpolis has a skill in chapter 13 or in the side quest in chapter 14 called “Underground Menace”. Bombs also have this skill, and are hidden in Chapter 9’s side quest, “Dynamite Bodies”, fighting Fat Chocobo in Chadley’s VR Simulator, or in Chapter 17’s Hard Mode, where bombs are hidden in Shinra’s Combat Simulator. You’ll need to use “Team of Three vs. Monster Legends” to get them to appear. Additionally, the creatures of Proto-Trypapolis have it in Chapter 14 (in the collapsed highway). HO512-OPT also has it in Chapter 16. Since there are so many enemies that actually have this skill, you should be able to find it fairly easily.
Bad breath
This attack is fun because it will hit every enemy with all status effects in play at the same time. Bad breath is a great way to bring enemies to their knees without too much work. Moreover, it is wild to imagine an enemy affected by absolutely every status effect possible in the game.
Unfortunately, finding this skill is a little harder than the others. There is only one enemy, and his name is Marlboro. And when he hits you with this attack, it will pretty much put your character out of business, so it’s important to have another teammate ready with an Esuna spell and a Cleanse materia. Otherwise you will be in for quite a fight.
The only place you can find Marlboro is on hard mode in Chapter 17. You will have to participate in a “Team of Three vs. Monsters of Legend” battle in Shinra Combat Simulator. But be prepared for this attack; it is not one to be taken lightly. A Bad Breath attack will knock your player off their feet. So, before entering Shinra Combat Simulator, don’t forget to equip the Cleanse materia, Esuna spell, and any items you have to cleanse the character’s status effect.
