    I don't think so, I would assume you're thinking about Beta, but you've already mentioned that, so I would have to say, no, I can say with almost 100% certainty there is no summon materia for the midgar zolom/whatever.

    It is, however, a summon/Esper/Phantom Beast in Final Fantasy VI. A pretty good one, too, at least for abilities.

    I don’t think there is a way you can get the materia by killing it normally. Try using a white chocobo to go under the swamp... I think you can get it from there, if I recall correctly.

    Then when you're under the swamp you have to use materia to transform it into an item, like how the ghost ship transforms into the book.

    You people are mean!

    Anyways if I understand you right it seems you are talking about the ability that the snake uses(Beta if I recall right). It is fairly powerful for low levels and you can learn it with the Enemy Skill Materia if you have that materia equipped.


    STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!

    Default your friend lied

    You can get the choco/mog materia and the chocobo lure materia at the ranch but you don't get a materia for killing the snake.

    nope, there is no Summon Materia for the Midgar Zolom, your friend was just pulling your leg... the only thing you can get from the Zolom is the Enemy Skill "Beta" and that can be done at any point in the game where you have access to the Midgar Swamps even on disc 1... check the Materia list in the Official strat guide as well as all the online Materia lists and you'll find there is no Zolom Summon Materia...

    I can say, because I have killed the snake before, that you do not get anything special for killing it. It doesn't even give you a lot of gil or experience. I would recommend not wasting your time with it.

    Also, you don't need a chocobo to go past it. Just run across the shortest part of the swamp in a zig-zag pattern. I haven't done this, but I've watched a former friend do it because catching chocobos was too hard for him. I told him there was no way he'd get across the swamp without a chocobo, and he did it on the third try. Now, he does it every time.

    Well, it's worth fighting so you can get Beta, but that's it.

    Dude, seriously, it's not a text message.

    And it's bogus. You can save Aeris though, if you are mean to Tifa throughout the game, and level her up to 77, then Tifa will push Aeris away.

    True, I swear promise.

    There may be some confusion on this topic because Midgardsormr, or the Midgar Zolom, is an Esper in Final Fantasy VI.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    But the context explicitly mentioned 'materia', a FFVII implement.

    Is that an enemy skill? It never used that on me. Of course, they never use the good enemy skills or drop the good items for me.

    1st you have to revive Aerith by going to the church and pressing:
    left, right, circle, square, L1+R1.
    then kill the Midgar Zolom with just Aerith and she will get the materia
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..
