Tips and Strategies

Explore Before Heading to the Director's Room

Before triggering the cutscene in the director's room, explore the Shinra Building and Sector 8 first to get various items and much-needed exp!

Supply Pod and Hojo's Experiments

First, go to the briefing room supply pod to acquire a free Star Pendant.

Next, go to the training room on the same floor. A Shinra Infantryman will try to prevent Zack from entering. This can be ignored and you can go in, anyway.

Inside, talk to the researcher standing by the glass to initiate some battles. Completing this will give Zack a decent exp while setting up events later in the game.

New Missions to Unlock

Exploring the SOLDIER Floor, Sector 8, and LOVELESS Avenue and talking to the following NPCs will unlock missions that can net you valuable items!

Equip More Materias and Materia Fusion

After being promoted to 1st Class, Zack can now equip six materias. This will expand your combat playstyle further with more abilities up in your sleeve!

This will also unlock the Materia Fusion function, which will allow Zack to craft even more powerful materias! A researcher will approach Zack after he changes into his black outfit to explain this function.

Help Out Civilians During the Attack!

Shinra Building

When the elevetor gets stuck on his way down to the Shinra Building entrance, Zack will be given the chance to get out and help the civilians stuck in the SOLDIER floor against Red Saucers.

LOVELESS Avenue

After getting out of the Shinra Building, Zack can also help out civilians in LOVELESS Avenue.

Mail from the Treasure Princess

In Mako Reactor 5, while heading towards the ladder by the Save Point, Zack will receive a mail from someone named Treasure Princess. This will unlock Mission 8-4: From a Hot Treasure Hunter chain quests. Doing these quests is recommended, as the provided items that will benefit Zack's DMW significantly.

G Eraser Stats and Drops

Red numbers only apply when playing Crisis Core on Hard.

Get Behind and Slash 'Em Up!

The G Eraser sports a large amount of health. However, this should not be a problem if you manage to get behind it and crit-attack throughout! It can easily flinch with your continuous slashes and, depending on how high Zack's attack is, he can easily bring down this advanced Genesis copy with his critical strikes!

Focus One Machine at a Time!

Taking on three deadly machines is too much, even for a SOLDIER. To finish this fight with ease, take down one machine at a time. Focus on one, get behind it, and attack with your strong, critical slashes. They will be down in numbers in no time!
