Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion has 134 Collectible Locations (102 Mail, 5 Fan Clubs, 15 Shops, 12 Flower Wagon Parts, 7 Nibelheim Wonders). This 100% walkthrough shows all Collectibles, Trophies & Achievements in chronological order. By following this you will get 100% completion and all trophies/achievements in a single playthrough.
Everything is missable! There is no Chapter Select but the game lets you keep 30 Manual Saves. After each Chapter it will ask if you want to make a Manual Save, always do this. Reserve Save Slots 21-30 for the Chapter-specific saves. Use Save Slots 1-20 to save at every checkpoint you come across. This way, if you fail a trophy or accidentally miss a collectible, you can always reload the latest save to retry.
Also keep a save before the endboss. After the story you can reload this to finish the 100% side mission completion. The missions are started from save points found in the world. A few missions must be accepted from specific people before the Point of No Return (end of Chapter 7) or else you will be unable to obtain 100% mission completion. This is pointed out in red color at the end of Chapter 7 so don’t worry about it for now. Just know that Mission Progress does NOT carry over into New Game+ so it’s very important you do everything in one single playthrough. If you miss anything reload the last save immediately.
For Mail you only need ONE Mail from each SENDER. You don’t need all 102 individual mails. This is great because in Chapter 9 there are 3 mails that cancel out each other (you can only get 1 of 3 per playthrough), but this doesn’t affect the trophy as they are all from the same sender and you only need one. That’s also why you can get all trophies in a single playthrough. The vast majority of Mails will come automatically from story progression. Sometimes the mail delivery is a little bit inconsistent in the game, leading to some mail possibly arriving sooner or later than noted in the guide but don’t worry if that happens, everything that’s automatic will arrive in your inbox eventually.

When introduced to the rotating walls, they will appear on the map, as well as towers that you can interact with for other enemies. After defeating all 16 you can leave the area, the trophy unlocks after finishing the Fort when you reunited in the woods with Lazard and get attacked by 3 Ninjas (after the below Mail).

Trophy: Good Match for Aerith
Must reach high affection with Aerith. Aerith affection will go up by +10 for interacting with each of the three shops when looking for Bruno, +1 for each time you select “Wait” when you talk to the girl (+10 total), +2 for each Potion given to the boy (+10 total), and +5 for choosing the first option when you speak to Aerith, or +10 for choosing the second option. This is +60 by the time you get your wallet back. You then get +5 every time you make perfect perfume (Master Blender trophy), +5 for getting the fastest time on the materia collection (Godlike trophy). Craft the Perfume 3 times in a row perfectly without miscounting the number of drops (Drip = 1, DripDrip = 2, Splash! = 10). This brings you to 75 Affection total. Leave the market and continue with the chapter until you reach the end of Sector 5. There you will run into Bruno, during the dialogue he must say “You and Aerith make a Good Couple”. If he says you are an “okay couple” you missed something or blended bad perfume (if you miscount the drops during perfume blending Aerith won’t like it and this can reduce your affection).
Trophy: Master Blender
After getting your wallet back, interact with the “Shopping Paradise” store to start this minigame. You must count to the correct number of drops displayed. Drip = 1, DripDrip = 2, Splash! = 10. Press when the correct amount has been reached to make perfect perfume. You can retry this as often as you want but it costs some money each time (there’s also a save point right next to it).
Trophy: Godlike
After getting your wallet back, interact with the “Item World” store to start this minigame. You must collect all 20 materia around the Market in under 14 seconds. Sprint and spam to pick up the items, make sure to not miss any. Talk to the shop keeper after collecting the last materia. If you took more than 14 seconds the trophy won’t pop. If you did it correctly the shopkeeper will rate your performance with “Godlike Speed”.
Trophy: Bingo!
After getting your wallet back, talk to the boy in the corner for a number-guessing minigame. You must guess how many kids walk by, between 1-6. Ask Aerith for her guess, she will give you 2-3 numbers (she gives 2 when your affection is above 50, and 3 when below 50). If you pay 50 gil, the boy will give you three numbers. Select the number that is shared between these for the correct answer. Example: Aerith guesses 3,4,6 and Boy guesses 1,2,4 the correct answer is “4” because they both included it in their guess.
Trophy: Precise Restoration
After leaving the Slums, in the Fusion Chamber room with Hojo, interact with the machine on his left. It will count down from 5 seconds, stopping at 3 seconds. Continue counting to 0 seconds and stop it correctly to get 100%. You must press after exactly 5 seconds, only the timing of your button press is important, not the time it takes for the “press button animation” to play it. When pressing / after exactly 5 seconds it takes another 2 seconds for the animation to play out which is fine and doesn’t affect anything. It might take a few attempts. If it didn’t work you can immediately retry as often as you want. No need to reload saves between tries.
Trophy: Of Significant Worth
After leaving the Slums, in the Fusion Chamber room with Hojo, follow the bridge in the middle and interact with the fusion chamber. Answer the questions correctly: 1) A SOLDIER operative like Sephiroth, 2) State-of-the-art science and technology, 3) A person unafraid to challenge Shinra.
Trophy: Cell Raider
After leaving the Slums, in the Fusion Chamber room with Hojo, press the switch next to him while having Steal materia equipped. You get the Steal Materia automatically from Bruno in Chapter 4 when leaving the Slums, which is just before you reach the Fusion Chamber with Hojo. You will need to use Steal Materia on all 6 Experiment Enemies to get their keys, then open the cells and open the 3 chests in each cell, and return to Hojo before the time runs out.

Trophy: Zack the Sniper
After leaving Nibelheim, you will go down a hill and have to shoot robots with sniper rifles. You have to kill all robots at sniping spots without any of them escaping. If you alert them and take too long they will run away after a short time. Aim for the head as it does enough damage to instantly kill all the regular ones. After fully upgrading the rifle you can also aim for their shields as they are easier to hit and the fully upgraded damage still deals good damage plus staggers the robots on each hit. There are no checkpoints during this minigame, if a robot escapes you must reload the last autosave to respawn at the start and redo everything.
1st sniper will have 1 stationary robot.
2nd sniper will have 1 stationary robot.
3rd sniper will have 2 moving robots.
After the 3rd sniper run back and forth to farm kills on normal robots and fully upgrade your sniper rifle before triggering the 4th sniping spot.
4th sniper will have 3 moving robots in the distance, kill the one on the right first, then left, then middle.
5th sniper requires going right at the split in the road, it has 3 stationary robots that you can instantly kill by shooting the barrel.
6th sniper is down the road on the left with 2 boss robots: BIGGS and WEDGE, who have 9999 HP each. With a fully upgraded rifle it will take 3 headshots to kill one, and you can simply fire a smart bomb to kill the other one.
7th sniper is at the next split on the left with 3 robots. Quickly kill them before they retreat, with fully upgraded damage you can simply shoot their shields which staggers them but still kills them quickly (this is easier than trying headshots and missing).
8th sniper is the final one, it’s when you follow the road to the right. Shoot the barrel near the left robot, then headshot the other two or just shoot their shields quickly. If they try to retreat, you may be able to hit the barrel to stop them.
Continue to the end of the section and the trophy will pop before the next save point.

Shop: Research Dept. QMC+
After the scene with Cissnei in Gongaga – Outskirts, in a chest to the south at the corner of the area.
Trophy: Waterfall Chaser
In the Hills area of Gongaga, after the cutscene with Genesis, run around until you complete 7 battles. Try to leave the area and you’ll be prompted with a minigame, choose the first option to participate in it. Chests and enemies will fall down the waterfall, and you will need to collect all 10 chests. They will fall in the same order: Chest in the middle, two enemies on the left and right, two chests on the left and right, repeat this for 10 chests. If you get hit by an enemy you’ll be stunned and miss the next two chests, so every time you grab the middle chest, you will want to quickly run to the left out of the water to safely dodge the enemies, then quickly run back to grab the chests. If you get hit by an enemy and miss a chest, simply leave the area and come back, then redo 7 battles to trigger the minigame again. Getting all 10 chests will also reward you with Goblin Punch, which can be combined with any of the DMW Materia (purchasable from Research Dept. QMC+) to create Costly Punch, one of the best combat materia.
Chapter 10
Trophy: Cage Opener
When you enter the Depths of Judgement, there’ll be three paths branching off, with this area being the hub. In each area there will be a large stone tablet you can interact with to read an Act of LOVELESS. Depths of Judgement will have “LOVELESS – Prologue”, Portal of Severance (west) will have Act III, Howling Fang (east) will have Act II and just outside the entrance of Lake of Oblivion (south) will be Act I. After reading all four tablets, enter Lake of Oblivion and around the area will be 5 mako springs you can interact with to spawn an enemy. Defeat all 5 of these enemies and a path will open to the Cage of Binding, to the north of the lake. This unlocks the trophy.
That’s all the Collectibles found in the Story. Keep a manual save before the final boss. After finishing the game, reload this save and finish 100% mission completion from that save point (you can also switch difficulty from Normal to Hard before endboss and it will pop the trophy for beating game on Hard Mode).

Element0 says
Wow amazing job. Thanks for all the work. I will definitely use your guide for my playthrough.
Naoneko says
Don’t know but I did not receive the 313 mail of the fan at chapter 3. I tried speaking to the girl again, going in and out of the bldg but that just it she just gave me 312 mail.
Kitsune says
The mail pops when you head back inside the Shinra Building.
As you’re heading up the stairs inside the building, that’s when I received it.
Dark says
Missed the girl in chapter 4 and now she doesn’t give the quest in chapter 5?
M 2-1-3 is unlocked by talking to Girl in Sector 5 Slums – Market, if you didn’t accept it in Chapter 4 you can head back there now (through Sector 8 Fountain > go upstairs to the east to enter the train station > enter slums at end of train station > you spawn in front of the girl)
PowerPyx says
Worked fine for me in Chapter 5. I just rechecked it on current patch and she still gives it in Chapter 5.
Are you sure you didn’t accept it already? What platform are you on? (I retested it on PS4 + PS5 right now). Double-check in your missions that you don’t already have it.
It’s the girl you have to wait for 10 times in Chapter 4 to get 10 affection with Aerith. When you return to Slums Market in Chapter 5 she’s straight in front of you, little girl, black hair, blue dress. I’ll add a picture for clarification, but still works fine for me in Chapter 5, and you can accept all quests until Chapter 7.
Dark says
Thanks I reloaded a previous save and it works now, very weird thanks for the speedy reply it was stressing me haha
Onisixx says
You should clarify for Good Match for Aerith trophy you need to do the perfume mix(perfect mix) and materia collection twice(with godspeed)… This says 75 after you complete them, but you don’t say to do those 2 twice. You need 80 total to get the trophy.. sigh
PowerPyx says
You don’t need to do the godlike speed multiple times. And it does say to craft the perfume 3 times, quote “Craft the Perfume 3 times in a row perfectly without miscounting the number of drops”.
You can just craft the perfume one extra time instead of doing the godlike speed one extra time.
Onisixx says
I’m 99% sure that paragraph didn’t mention that when I wrote that lol. I read it a bunch of times before I turned off the game. I went to a YouTube video that explained to do them both twice. Its ok you guys always make awesome guides.
PowerPyx says
It always said this in the guide from the start.
(You can use waybackmachine / google cache to confirm this yourself)
The same is shown in the video too.
Onisixx says
Yeah i actually just had loaded it up from last nights window. My apologies! Really not sure how I missed that whole sentence. Still love the work you all do!
Comet7745 says
Man I can’t get the godspeed thing at all. I can’t use my right thumb to turn the camera and press X to pick up materia without slowing down enough to get bumped out of 14 seconds. Is this absolutely necessary? I’m about to rage here.
Trev says
When doing zack squat trophy for wagon parts i recommend if your struggling with this guides method just watch zacks butt and hit the button when it hits the ground . Also the controller will lightly rumble
Snake2410 says
The large white dot his head covers as he goes down is good for timing during speed 1 – 2. The cross tiles on the wall above the white dot can be used to time it if rumble is two quick for speeds 3 and 4. I had to use that spot because the button presses weren’t registering during the rumbles every time for me in speeds 3 and 4.
kronoxz says
For the mission trophies, is it fine for me to just accept it first then do that series of mission later? Eg. The soldier at chapter 2 for the wagon parts might not appear in briefing room at chap 3 if i did not do the series of missions at chapter 2?
Minorcas13 says
The coffin key part of shinra manner doesn’t work, it just summons bugs for me instead of hinting at Vincent sleeping there, I did exactly what you did in the video why won’t it work for me?
PowerPyx says
Are you sure you went to Mako Reactor previously, did the previous wonders, and are opening the correct coffin? You must do it in the order outlined in the guide.
If you pick other (wrong) coffins it spawns bugs. Must be the specific one.
Glauber says
Kill more Sahagins for more keys and open all coffins.
amaury says
question: if i miss a mail do i have to start all over or i just wait to chapter 7?
PowerPyx says
You have to reload the nearest save before you missed one and redo everything from there.
You can’t get missed Mail retroactively in Chapter 7.
Fettster777 says
Continued into Chapter 8 and tried again and still no unlock. Guess I’m screwed out of the platinum.
PowerPyx says
For me it unlocked fine but I only did this mission when I reached the final checkpoint in Chapter 10 (before endboss). That much story progress shouldn’t be required but maybe it’s some bug at certain points in the story. If you still have your save before doing the mission for the first time, reload this and play until end of story and retry the mission then. Or if you already completed the mission maybe it unlocks later from story progress. Let me know if you still get it.
Fettster777 says
Sector 6 Accessory Shop finally unlocked. I played to the first save point in chapter 9 in the mansion. Played 6-2-6 and finished but it didn’t unlock yet. Then I finished 2-2-3 which has recently been unlocked. Then I finished 1-1-2 which also recently unlocked and it unlocked the shop.
Bekas says
For anyone struggling with the squats trophy, and if you’re like me and have your vibration turned off, just– turn it on. It’s game changing.
I suggest actually looking away from the screen or focusing somewhere that’s not Zack and just hit triangle as you feel your controller rumble.
Worked like a charm for my ADHD ass lol
PowerPyx says
Good tip, will add that in! Thank you 🙂
Bekas says
Just a fyi regarding the sniper trophy: normal bots found in battle can also escape and null your trophy! Avoid caring about the DMW and just dispatch them fast: two hits and high jump usually clears them all out.
Alex says
Overall fantastic guide, but there were a couple of little things I’ve noticed. For this trophy:
Trophy: Everyone’s Hero
When the assault on Shinra Building begins, during the elevator ride choose “Get off and look around”. Save the 3 people on the SOLDIER floor (2 in the hallway, 1 in Training Room). When outside in Sector 8, save the two people in LOVELESS Avenue.
I don’t know if this is random or just a mistake, but I had 1 person (SOLDIER) in the hallway and 2 in training room (I think a man and a woman dressed in business clothes).
There are two different times Shinra is spelled as Shirna:
Mail: Shirna News – Situation with Wutai
Automatically as you approach the save point in Fort Tamblin – Courtyard.
And right after the Point of no Return – Accept Missable Missions! heading.
These are just small things I noticed. Thanks for the guide!
PowerPyx says
For “Trophy: Everyone’s Hero”, there are 2 encounters in the hallway: 1 as soon as you step out the elevator, another 1 on the left. The two people in training room count as 1 encounter because you rescue them simultaneously. I simply counted the two in the training room as one encounter.
The Shinra typos are fixed, good spotting, thank you!
Zack says
For “Midgar Full of Flowers” trophy I followed everything from the guide, however I don’t have all the tools for the third wagon, I’m kinda lost now lol
Zack says
Nvm I never went back to the scientist to get my reward after completing M2-6 Lmao
gothbrew says
For all mail, you just need one mail from each sender, correct? I started a ng+ file to speed through and get mails, and I’m just hoping I don’t have to kill Minerva again. That mail comes from Kunsel, so I shouldn’t have to, I think.
