Choose the Madam M Route in Chapter 9

Madam M.jpg

You will unlock this quest depending on the choices you make during the conversation with Johnny, Sam's coin toss, and Madam M's massage courses, as well as a few other interactions. Each choice you make from the table below adds onto a score. Depending on which of the two scores is higher, the route will change accordingly.

How to Take the Madam M

Situation	Choice	Points
The girl we're looking for...	She's in great shape.	Sam +1
	She's a great fighter.	-
	She's great at handling the books.	Madam M +1
Hotel Employee	...No thanks.	Sam +1
	How much?	Madam M +1
	Back off.	-
Discovery Quest Vagabond Johnny	Yeah	Sam +1
Discovery Quest Vagabond Johnny	No	-
Sam's Coin Flip	Heads	Sam +1.5
	Tails	Sam +1.5
	No deal.	Sam +0.5
Madam M's Massage	3000G	Madam M +2
	1000G	Madam M +1
	100G	-
	Leave	-
How is Aerith's outfit?	It's alright.	Sam +1
	Looks comfortable.	-
	It matters what I think?	Madam M +1
Mystery Drink in the Underground Arena	I'll taste it.	Sam +1
Mystery Drink in the Underground Arena	I don't need that.	-

When presented with the dialogue options from the table above, select the options in bold to go on Madam M's route, guaranteed.

Note that you only need to have a higher score for Madam M than for Sam to take her side quests, so it is still possible to take her route without doing everything shown above, as along as you score more points toward Madam M than for Sam.

The Price of Thievery Tips & Tricks

How to Beat the Grungy Bandit

The Grungy Bandit you encounter here is not too different from the other bandits for the most part. You should be able to make quick work of all of them by using a Fire Materia slotted together with Magnify.

Steal a Champion Belt

The rare and powerful Accessory Champion Belt can be stolen from the Grungy Bandit. Stealing from the Grungy Bandit is the only way to obtain this item other than winning the Pro difficulty on the Pull-Up Challenge, which is quite a feat, so be sure not to miss it here.
