Final Fantasy 7 Remake Chapter 9 Walkthrough: Burning Thighs Sidequest

After defeating the Hell House and becoming the Colosseum champion in Final Fantasy VII Remake, you will still have to become champion in other ways.

In order to progress with making sure Cloud is ready for Don Corneo's mansion, you'll need to take on the local gym bros in a squatting contest. Be mindful, it's not as easy as it was in the original! 

Burning Thighs

  • Quest Giver: Jules
  • Reward: 3 Mega-Potions, HP and MP restored
  • Area: Sector 6 Slums – Wall Market

The first step is not very difficult — as the tutorial explains, you have to press the buttons in the right order, and with the right timing.

There are a couple of things you should know to make it easier. First, the progress arrow will wait for a moment when it arrives at a junction, so you don't necessarily need perfect rhythm. It's better to be a little too slow than a little too fast, because in the second case, it will make you fall to the ground.

Try not to be too rash in predicting timings, either. Missing an input will cause you to fall backwards, meaning a significant delay in being able to score points. In the later challenges, even a single miss means defeat. 

Challenge opponents one by one, with victory earning you the Champion Belt — a strong accessory which you will likely use for the rest of the game.
