CRISIS CORE FINAL FANTASY VII REUNION Achievements and Collectibles Guide
In this game, there are a several collectibles that require you to talk to an NPC to unlock them. After the end of every chapter of the game the NPCs in all areas will change and they will have different dialogues, making some collectibles not obtainable after the end of the chapter until you unlock New Game Plus.
Missions will have a yellow marker on the map, however, if you rush through the game and did not explore the areas available before the end of these chapters, you’d likely miss them.
Each section will be available as I beat the game.

Achievement: Good Match for Aerith
Must reach high affection with Aerith. Aerith affection will go up by +10 for interacting with each of the three shops when looking for Bruno, +1 for each time you select “Wait” when you talk to the girl (+10 total), +2 for each Potion given to the boy (+10 total), and +5 for choosing the first option when you speak to Aerith, or +10 for choosing the second option. This is +60 by the time you get your wallet back. You then get +5 every time you make perfect perfume (Master Blender achievement), +5 for getting the fastest time on the materia collection (Godlike achievement). Craft the Perfume 3 times in a row perfectly without miscounting the number of drops (Drip = 1, DripDrip = 2, Splash! = 10). This brings you to 75 Affection total. Leave the market and continue with the chapter until you reach the end of Sector 5. There you will run into Bruno, during the dialogue he must say “You and Aerith make a Good Couple”. If he says you are an “okay couple” you missed something or blended bad perfume (if you miscount the drops during perfume blending Aerith won’t like it and this can reduce your affection).
Achievement: Master Blender
After getting your wallet back, interact with the “Shopping Paradise” store to start this minigame. You must count to the correct number of drops displayed. Drip = 1, DripDrip = 2, Splash! = 10. Press (X) / (A) when the correct amount has been reached to make perfect perfume. You can retry this as often as you want but it costs some money each time (there’s also a save point right next to it).
Achievement: Godlike
After getting your wallet back, interact with the “Item World” store to start this minigame. You must collect all 20 materia around the Market in under 14 seconds. Sprint and spam :x: to pick up the items, make sure to not miss any. Talk to the shop keeper after collecting the last materia. If you took more than 14 seconds the achievement won’t pop. If you did it correctly the shopkeeper will rate your performance with “Godlike Speed”.
Achievement: Bingo!
After getting your wallet back, talk to the boy in the corner for a number-guessing minigame. You must guess how many kids walk by, between 1-6. Ask Aerith for her guess, she will give you 2-3 numbers (she gives 2 when your affection is above 50, and 3 when below 50). If you pay 50 gil, the boy will give you three numbers. Select the number that is shared between these for the correct answer. Example: Aerith guesses 3,4,6 and Boy guesses 1,2,4 the correct answer is “4” because they both included it in their guess.
Achievement: Precise Restoration
After leaving the Slums, in the Fusion Chamber room with Hojo, interact with the machine on his left. It will count down from 5 seconds, stopping at 3 seconds. Continue counting to 0 seconds and stop it correctly to get 100%. You must press (X) after exactly 5 seconds, only the timing of your button press is important, not the time it takes for the “press button animation” to play it. When pressing (X) / (A) after exactly 5 seconds it takes another 2 seconds for the animation to play out which is fine and doesn’t affect anything. It might take a few attempts. If it didn’t work you can immediately retry as often as you want. No need to reload saves between tries.
Achievement: Of Significant Worth
After leaving the Slums, in the Fusion Chamber room with Hojo, follow the bridge in the middle and interact with the fusion chamber. Answer the questions correctly: 1) A SOLDIER operative like Sephiroth, 2) State-of-the-art science and technology, 3) A person unafraid to challenge Shinra.
Achievement: Cell Raider
After leaving the Slums, in the Fusion Chamber room with Hojo, press the switch next to him while having Steal materia equipped. You get the Steal Materia automatically from Bruno in Chapter 4 when leaving the Slums, which is just before you reach the Fusion Chamber with Hojo. You will need to use Steal Materia on all 6 Experiment Enemies to get their keys, then open the cells and open the 3 chests in each cell, and return to Hojo before the time runs out.

Achievement: Zack the Sniper
- After leaving Nibelheim, you will go down a hill and have to shoot robots with sniper rifles. You have to kill all robots at sniping spots without any of them escaping. If you alert them and take too long they will run away after a short time. Aim for the head as it does enough damage to instantly kill all the regular ones. After fully upgrading the rifle you can also aim for their shields as they are easier to hit and the fully upgraded damage still deals good damage plus staggers the robots on each hit. There are no checkpoints during this minigame, if a robot escapes you must reload the last autosave to respawn at the start and redo everything.
- 1st sniper will have 1 stationary robot.
- 2nd sniper will have 1 stationary robot.
- 3rd sniper will have 2 moving robots.
- After the 3rd sniper run back and forth to farm kills on normal robots and fully upgrade your sniper rifle before triggering the 4th sniping spot.
- 4th sniper will have 3 moving robots in the distance, kill the one on the right first, then left, then middle.
- 5th sniper requires going right at the split in the road, it has 3 stationary robots that you can instantly kill by shooting the barrel.
- 6th sniper is down the road on the left with 2 boss robots: BIGGS and WEDGE, who have 9999 HP each. With a fully upgraded rifle it will take 3 headshots to kill one, and you can simply fire a smart bomb to kill the other one.
- 7th sniper is at the next split on the left with 3 robots. Quickly kill them before they retreat, with fully upgraded damage you can simply shoot their shields which staggers them but still kills them quickly (this is easier than trying headshots and missing).
- 8th sniper is the final one, it’s when you follow the road to the right. Shoot the barrel near the left robot, then headshot the other two or just shoot their shields quickly. If they try to retreat, you may be able to hit the barrel to stop them.
- Continue to the end of the section and the achievement will pop before the next save point.

After the scene with Cissnei in Gongaga – Outskirts, in a chest to the south at the corner of the area.
Achievement: Waterfall Chaser
In the Hills area of Gongaga, after the cutscene with Genesis, run around until you complete 7 battles. Try to leave the area and you’ll be prompted with a minigame, choose the first option to participate in it. Chests and enemies will fall down the waterfall, and you will need to collect all 10 chests. They will fall in the same order: Chest in the middle, two enemies on the left and right, two chests on the left and right, repeat this for 10 chests. If you get hit by an enemy you’ll be stunned and miss the next two chests, so every time you grab the middle chest, you will want to quickly run to the left out of the water to safely dodge the enemies, then quickly run back to grab the chests. If you get hit by an enemy and miss a chest, simply leave the area and come back, then redo 7 battles to trigger the minigame again. Getting all 10 chests will also reward you with Goblin Punch, which can be combined with any of the DMW Materia (purchasable from Research Dept. QMC+) to create Costly Punch, one of the best combat materia.
Chapter 10
Achievement: Cage Opener
When you enter the Depths of Judgement, there’ll be three paths branching off, with this area being the hub. In each area there will be a large stone tablet you can interact with to read an Act of LOVELESS. Depths of Judgement will have “LOVELESS – Prologue”, Portal of Severance (west) will have Act III, Howling Fang (east) will have Act II and just outside the entrance of Lake of Oblivion (south) will be Act I. After reading all four tablets, enter Lake of Oblivion and around the area will be 5 mako springs you can interact with to spawn an enemy. Defeat all 5 of these enemies and a path will open to the Cage of Binding, to the north of the lake. This unlocks the achievement.
