Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade 100% Completion Guide

Chapter 1 is a straight line through Mako Reactor 1: the station, the Reactor Grounds, the interior, the laser corridor of Utility Access and the scaffolding down to the core, then a timed run back out. There are no benches, shops or side quests here, so save from the main menu whenever you like. The ten chests are all optional and hold common items, but the reactor is never visited again in this run, so open each one as you pass it. Four tutorial trophies (Warming Up, Weakened Resolve, Staggering Start and Bonds of Friendship) come naturally in the fights, and finishing the chapter gives Onetime Gig.

Chapter 2 picks up straight after the reactor blast and stays in Sector 8: a tunnel out of the plate structure, the Business District streets, Loveless Street, the Fountain Plaza, a run over the rooftops, the Residential Area and finally the train. Cloud fights alone the whole way. There are no benches and no working vending machines here, so heal with Cure and items, and save from the menu whenever you like. Nothing in this chapter is required except the story, but every chest is lost when the chapter ends, and the path closes behind you in places (the collapsing rubble bridge, the alley after the vision), so open each chest as you reach it. The dialogue choice with the flower peddler changes a few lines only.

Chapter 3 is the first hub. You arrive by train and spend the whole chapter on foot in the Sector 7 Slums: Seventh Heaven, the Stargazer Heights apartments, the Residential Area's shops and Beginner's Hall, Scrap Boulevard, and the Talagger Factory once its odd job opens. Resting in Cloud's room or on a bench refills HP and MP, and so does reporting a finished odd job. The two benches are in the factory's southwest yard and on the walled path to Johnny, each beside a vending machine. Run 1 does all six odd jobs here, then the Alone at Last scene, where Tifa's answer decides her Chapter 9 dress: this run picks the sporty one. Four Music Discs are here too. Everything in the hub, discs and chests included, closes when you walk back into Seventh Heaven after helping Johnny.

Chapter 4 runs from the Sector 7 Undercity Station up the Corkscrew Tunnel by motorcycle, through the Employee Housing Area of Upper Sector 7 to the Sector 7-6 Annex, and back down to the slums for the night. It opens straight into the bike ride, and that ride decides the Biker Boy trophy, so read the warning below before the first scene ends. The bench to rest at is the one by the Annex checkpoint, with a vending machine beside it. Equip the Ifrit Materia before the Annex battle for My First Summon, and leave time for the Seventh Heaven darts before the last step.

Chapter 5 is one linear dungeon: the train out of the Sector 7 Slums, then the Corkscrew Tunnel's Sections C, D and E on foot, ending in the Former Rail Yard. There are no side quests and no choices. Three benches, each with a vending machine, split the walk: Railway Control C2 where you land, Railway Control E2 after the insect nest, and the maintenance room before the boss. Most treasure sits in service rooms behind doors along the tracks, so try every door you pass. Take the Healing Materia while you are still on the train: once the party jumps off, the rest of the chapter is on foot in the tunnel. Everything here, the Stamp Music Disc included, is lost for this run when the chapter ends.

Chapter 6 is one linear trip under the Sector 4 plate in three parts. In Section F a lamp has to go dark before the gate to Section G will open; Section G is a maze of walkways and bug nests; in Section H three sun lamps must be shut off before the H01 cargo lift runs. Benches with vending machines wait at the start, at H01 and in the fan room. The one choice that matters: before you ride the cargo lift, take the small lift to the fan room for Music Disc 18 and the Chocobo & Moogle materia, because the cargo lift leaves Section H behind.
