Learn how to unlock and complete the Materia Room missions in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion to earn the Master Mako Stone Miner trophy. Follow our guide!
Alright, let's get you that Master Mako Stone Miner trophy in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion! It sounds like a mouthful, but it's actually tied to a specific mission chain that you can start pretty early on.
- 1First things first, you'll need to progress the main story until you start Chapter 2. When Tseng tells you to head to the Briefing Room, ignore him for a moment. Instead, exit the Briefing Room and chat with Kunsel. He'll take you out of the Shinra Building and into Sector 8.
- 2As soon as you're outside in Sector 8, immediately turn around and head back into the Shinra Building.
- 3Once inside, make your way to the back of the second floor. Look for a door with an orangish outline – this is the SOLDIER Floor.
- 4After a brief chat there, again, ignore the Briefing Room. Find the save point in the area. Right near it, you'll see another door labeled Materia Room. Head inside and talk to the Researcher who has an orange icon above their head. This will unlock Mission 8-2-1, the first in the chain.
- 5Now, you'll need to complete this mission. Doing so will unlock the next one in the series, and this continues for a total of six missions.
- 6Be prepared, as these missions can get a bit challenging, especially the 4-star difficulty ones. The good news is that each mission grants you a Mako Stone as a reward, and you need all six to progress.
- 7Pro Tip: A neat trick from the original PSP version still works here! To skip some of the annoying regular enemy encounters, try hugging the edges of the mission areas. If you're just focused on reaching the main enemy, this can save you a lot of time and hassle.
- 8The final mission, 8-2-6, is probably the toughest. You'll be facing two Deathclaws at the end. They have a good chunk of HP, but thankfully, they are weak to fire, just like the enemies in the previous 4-star mission.
- 9Helpful Hint: You can actually find a Fira Materia in one of the chests within mission 8-2-6 itself! This can really help you out during the final two missions. Alternatively, you can always try your luck with the DMW, hoping for some good summons to help you out.
- 10Once you've successfully completed all six missions and collected your six Mako Stones, head back to the Researcher in the Materia Room. Hand over each stone one by one.
After you've handed over all the stones, you'll receive some Materia and, more importantly, the Master Mako Stone Miner trophy/achievement!
