Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Manuscript Guide & Locations

Upgrading your battle capabilities in Final Fantasy VII Remake is no longer a case of just adding Materia or buying better weapons. Instead, their stats and slots increase — so we've put together a guide to all manuscript locations to help.

Still very much in the end-game of Final Fantasy VII Remake, it's time for the completionists all of the game's Manuscripts, which are used to fill all the cores of all the weapons.

Weapons by Characters

Manuscripts Level 1

You can purchase the whole collection of level 1 Manuscripts at the Moogle Emporium in the Slums of Sector 5. It'll cost you 20 medals to get all the books.

Manuscripts Level 2

In Don Corneo's Colosseum, carry out all the combats. To recover Aerith's Telluric Scriptures, you will have to return to the arena, directly after being congratulated for defeating Hell House in Chapter 9.

This is your only opportunity to get it so don't miss it, otherwise you will have to come back in new game +.

Manuscripts Level 3

You'll get every level 3 Manuscripts as rewards in some side quests of Chapter 14.

  • You'll get The Art of Swordplay Vol. III for Cloud once you've cleared Corneo's Secret Stash.
  • You'll get Sharpshooter's Companion Vol. III for Barret once you've cleared the Power of Music side quest.
  • You'll get Way of the Fist Vol. III for Tifa after beating Andrea at the Gym.
  • You'll get Telluric Scriptures Vol. III for Aerith once you've cleared the Secret Medecine side quest.

For the other Manuscripts, you'll need to redo all the game's content in new game +, in Hard Mode. Find out below how to unlock them character by character.
