Trophy and Achievement Roadmap for Crisis Core Reunion

Follow this comprehensive roadmap to unlock all trophies and achievements in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, including missable items, missions, and superboss strategies.

This guide outlines the roadmap for earning all trophies and achievements in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. It is divided into four main steps: playing through the main story while focusing on missable trophies, completing missions and gathering equipment/materia, defeating the superboss Minerva, and finally cleaning up any remaining achievements and tackling Hard difficulty.

Step 1 - Play While Doing Missable Trophies: Begin by playing the main story and diligently tracking missable trophies and achievements. Many missables are tied to specific chapters, especially those related to Midgar, which becomes inaccessible after Chapter 7. Pay close attention to missions that require speaking to an NPC after completion, as these often yield key items for trophies like "Midgar Full of Flowers."

Step 2 - Complete Missions/Gather Equipment/Materia: As you progress, focus on completing all available missions, improving your Materia through Fusion, and acquiring powerful equipment. Key Materia to aim for includes Curaga (999% HP), Costly Punch (VIT or SPR +100), Wall (VIT or SPR +100), Mug (999% HP), Quake/Darkness/Energy/Electrocute (MAG +100), and Aerial Drain. Essential accessories include Ziedrich, Super Ribbon, Adaman Bangle, Brutal, Precious Watch, Jeweled Ring, Brigand’s Gloves, and Mog’s Amulet. The Genji set accessories are also highly desirable, though some, like Genji Armor, require significant DMW completion.

Step 3 - Defeat Minerva: Minerva, the game's superboss, is located in Mission 9-6-6. She boasts 10 million HP on Normal and 77 million HP on Hard. To defeat her, aim for max VIT and SPR, 90,000+ HP, and the Costly Punch Materia. Maintain a Phoenix Down buff and keep your HP above 75,000 to survive her devastating Judgment Arrow attack. Stock up on X-Potions from the Sector 7 Shop. Defeating Minerva rewards the Divine Slayer accessory and the "Divine Rule Broken" trophy/achievement.

Step 4 - Cleaning Up and Hard Difficulty: The final step involves completing any remaining trophies or achievements. If you missed any, you may need to use New Game+ or restart. Focus on achieving 100% DMW completion for the "DMW Master" trophy and obtaining the Genji Armor. Ensure all missions are completed. For the "SOLDIER of Legend" trophy on Hard difficulty, you can switch the game's difficulty to Hard just before the final boss without needing a full Hard playthrough.
