Enemy Skill is quite possibly my favourite Materia in all of Final Fantasy 7.

With one piece of Materia, you can learn 24 unique moves you can’t find anywhere else, some of which are the most useful in the game.

This includes Big Guard, giving your party Barriers and Haste; White Wind, which is a quick and easy way to remove status elements, while Aqualung, Trine and Beta are three powerful elemental attacks which can pretty much carry you through most of the first half of the game.

Though learning Enemy Skills is as simple as having the Materia equipped when an enemy uses it on you, most of these enemies are easy to pass by, which is where this video comes in, showing Enemy Skills in order where they first appear. Enemy Skill Materia locations will be specified - again, in order of appearance - also throughout.

That said, the good news is only two Enemy Skills - Trine and Pandora’s Box - are truly missable, so as long as you get these two Enemy Skills when they come up, every other can be found from another location even if you miss them all first time round.

Note - this is not an exhaustive list of every enemy which has an Enemy Skill. For brevity and clarity, this video will show where the first opportunity to learn each Enemy Skill is. A second enemy is only mentioned if you cannot return to the first enemy if their location is no longer accessible - as is the case with the Cave of the Gi or Gaea's Cliff, for example - before returning to the chronologically ordered list.

Finally, for many of these you’ll need to use the Manipulate Materia, allowing you to take control of an Enemy so it can be cast on your party in the first place. You can get your first Manipulate Materia when Cait Sith joins your party. There's more on that, and other locations, in a dedicated video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGLmh7aH6e4

Thanks for watching, and if you found it useful, I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments. There’s also a bunch of other Final Fantasy 7 videos on the channel if you need any more help with your playthrough.
