Tips and Strategies

Open Trasure Chests and Shinra Boxes

Demo Guide 1.jpeg
You can find items from treasure chests and Shinra Boxes placed around the map. Check our maps above to find the locations of all obtainable items.

Watch out for Guard Dogs

Demo Guide 2.jpeg
The Guard Dogs that often accompany Security Officers have high HP and can cause problems, so use focus attacks on them to force them to Stagger so you can finish them off.
Focus Gauge and How to Stagger Enemies

Use Magic on Sweepers

Demo Guide 3.jpeg
The Sweeper enemies that appear in the second half are weak to Magic attacks. Stagger them and hit hard with Magic to take them out.

Use Counters against Shock Troopers

Demo Guide 4.jpeg
The Shock Troopers who show up during the escape from the Mako Reactor are some of the strongest regular enemies appearing so far. They will often block your attacks, so using counters to turn the situation in your favor is a must.

How to Counter Attacks
1. With Cloud, press △ to switch into Punisher Mode
2. Hold down R1 and wait for the opponent's attack
3. Cloud will Counter automatically when the attack hits

Boss Strategy Guide

Scorpion Sentinel

Guard Scorpion In Battle.jpg
The Boss Scorpion Sentinel is weak to Thunder Magic. As Barret can use Thunder Magic, either change characters and battle as Barret, or use L2 or R2 to give commands to your party members.

In a pinch, Cloud will give hints for how to defeat the Boss, so as long as you follow what he says, this battle should go off without a hitch.
