Special Materia Caves in Final Fantasy VII

Here are the locations of the special caves where you get some of the best materia in the game. One of these caves is also outlined in the summon materia tips article as it is the place where you finally receive the Knights of the Round summon materia.

So, we’ll start with that one:

Materia Cave #1, Knights of the Round

This cave is located far north of the Chocobo Farm and can only be reached by a Gold Chocobo. It is not located on the Map. The Knights of the Round materia is the best summon in the game because it is more like a bunch of summons in one.

Materia Cave #2, Quadra Magic

This cave is located south-east of the Chocobo Farm and can be reached with the Highwind and a Green Chocobo. Quadra Magic allows the user to cast the same spell four times in one turn.

Materia Cave #3, HP and MP conversion

This cave is located far West of Rocket Town use a blue chocobo to get there. I don’t like this materia too much, so I’m not exactly the expert on it.

Materia Cave #4, Mimic

This cave is located north of Corel and can be reached with a Blue Chocobo. Mimic took a while for me to understand the true benefits of it, but you can mimic attacks and that comes in very handy when defeating Ruby Weapon.
