Let's go for a new chapter of this Final Fantasy VII Remake walkthrough, that shouldn't be too difficult as long as you're equipped with ice Materia. It's also the first time that Cloud, Barret and Tifa are together, so take advantage of this opportunity to test the combat system and try to master the stagger, a very important mechanical aspect of the game.
Chests and Materia
- Materia 1 : At the beginning of the chapter, on a bench to your left. Contains the Healing Materia
- Chest 1 : In the first tunnel, look for the emergency exit on your right and enter to catch the first trunk. Contains two hi-potions.
- Chest 2 : Through the service entrance in section C. You should fall on it directly as you enter the room. Contains an elixir.
- Chest 3 : We continue on the same principle by skimming all the tunnel exits, still in section C. Contains an ether.
- Chest 4 : On the bridge that connects two tunnels, you can't miss it. Contains two antidotes.
- Chest 5 : In section D, just before going down to see the guards and the Grashtrike. Contains two hi-potions.
- Chest 6 : In the rest room of section E of the subway tunnels. Contains three phoenix downs.
- Chest 7 : In the service entrance of section E, at the big intersection before "Dogged Pursuit". Contains a Leather Bracer.
- Music Disk 1 : In the last rest room at the end of the E-tunnel is a vending machine where you can buy the Stamp Music Disc.
- Materia 2 : In the last rest room in the tunnels, right next to the shop where you bought Stamp's music. Contains the Lightning Materia.
Ennemis
Basic mobs, and therefore as with all basic mobs, a few knocks are enough to plunge them into a state of shock or explode them.
A type of enemy that's fast and much heavier than any mob you've ever come across so far. Weakened by the cold spells, these critters have big claws, and very sharp ones at that. Stay at a safe distance and avoid spamming the brave combos with Cloud.
Weakness: ice
If you see their purple dress in a group of enemies, go for it first and spam the ice. Don't give them time to react, they're really very vivid and quite powerful enemies.
Weakness: ice
Probably paid for by the Shinra to clear the tunnels of Grashtrikes, these umpteenth troufions can give you a boo-boo so stay at a good distance, and smash them with Barret in priority. As with all humanoids, a good fire spell should do the trick anyway.
Weakness: fire
Don't hesitate to spend a few magic points for them, they can become annoying very quickly and they are quite resistant. Our prescription? 2 spells of lightning and piercing shock, then Soul Brave.
Weakness: lightning
Boss : Crab Warden
A big robot: after the scorpion, here comes the Shinra beetle, an over-armed mobile vehicle with fragile legs that will have to be destroyed to make it stumble. The complete strat and all its techniques are in our guide below.
The Crab Warden boss stands between Avalanche and their next mission at the end Chapter 5 of Final Fantasy VII Remake. Our walkthrough details its strengths, weaknesses and moveset, and helps you take it down with minimal fuss.
With the Crab Warden defeated, the group takes the "shortcut" and finds itself near the Midgar suns for the second chapter of the adventure.
