There is a wide variety of gear, accessories, and even abilities to discover in Star Ocean The Second Story R. Among these is the Extinction spell for Leon, which requires you to get to the end of the game first. With that said, it is an incredibly powerful ability that is absolutely worth getting once you can. So, how does one acquire it?

How to Unlock Secret Spell Extinction for Leon

The actual process of getting it is fairly straightforward. All you need to do is make your way to the Maze of Tribulations, which is a secret dungeon that you can only access at the end of the game.

From there, you have to go to the fourth floor, which features fake walls that you can go through. Once you enter the floor, run forward and take a right immediately at the first room you can turn to.

Once you’re in this room, run through the wall up north and you should find a pair of chests. Opening the one on the right will unlock the Extinction spell for Leon.

The spell itself is incredibly powerful and costs 120 MP to use and has an incredibly long casting time. It can be hard to pull off due to how it leaves Leon vulnerable as he is channeling it, but when it does hit, it deals a massive amount of damage to enemies within range.

That’s pretty much all there is to know about Leon’s secret Extinction spell and how to unlock it. It’s relatively easy to get, but using it can be quite tricky!
