If you want to get 100% in Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion, you’ll need to get all the collectibles. Unfortunately, a lot of these can be missed, and some of them will require you to think outside the box. Thankfully, this page will list every missable collectible in Chapter 5 including items that are still considered useful, but are not needed to get the 100%.

All Missable Trophies/Achievements in Chapter 5¶

Shinra's Squats Champion¶

This trophy/achievement can be obtained as early as the start of the Chapter. Make your way over to the Training Room and speak to the Researcher looking at the monitors. He’ll mention to you that he will be testing your physical fitness today, and will ask you if you’re ready. Before accepting, read the tutorial to familiarize yourself with the minigame. This is a little easier than the FFVII Remake minigame of the same type, but it can still be frustrating, especially when the camera transitions when you’re about to speed up.

There are four speeds in total, and for each speed, you’ll need to press the button earlier each time. The easiest way for us to do this was to time the button press when the tip of the sword is about to reach the floor. If you mistime a squat, you’ll be temporarily stopped, and reset to the beginning speed, and you’ll have to work your way back up. There are four “competitors” that you’ll need to beat to get the trophy, Trooper, Captain, SOLDIER 3rd Class, and the SOLDIER 2nd Class. You’ll need to accomplish at least a specific amount of squats to beat each participant, which are as follows:

• Trooper – 22 Squats
• Captain – 30 Squats
• SOLDIER 3rd Class – 43 Squats
• SOLDIER 2nd Class – 55 Squats

After beating each individual, you’ll receive a piece needed for the Flower Wagon, and beating all four will reward you with the trophy/achievement. You can read our in-depth guide on it here.

Wutai's Nemesis¶

When you head into Sector 8 - Loveless Avenue, there will be an NPC right near the entrance. Talk to him, and he’ll tell you how Midgar has been infiltrated by a group of Wutai Spies, and he’ll ask if you can help him find, and detain them. Agree to his proposition, and he’ll give you information on the known location of the first spy. These spies have to be found in a fixed order, and you have to do it before you start the story mission otherwise you’ll miss it. Note, speak to each spy three times otherwise you won’t be able to blow their cover.

• Wutai Spy 1: Sector 8 - Loveless Avenue - A man will be walking up and down the street outside the theater.

• Wutai Spy 2: Sector 5 Slums - Market - There will be a Shinra Trooper suspiciously walking around the market. You can get to Sector 5 by going to the Train Station to the east of Sector 8 - Fountain.

• Wutai Spy 3: Shinra Building - Entrance - Wait near the elevator up the stairs from the entrance, and a man should walk out of it. If he doesn’t appear right away, you’ll have to wait a bit.

• Wutai Spy 4: Sector 8 - Fountain - There will be a woman conversing to a man up the stairs in the fountain area, on your way to the Train Station.

• Wutai Spy 5: Shinra Building - Exhibit Room - Talk to the man standing in front of the rocket display in the Exhibit Room.

• Wutai Spy 6: Sector 6 Slums - Park - There will be a young boy wearing a cap running back and forth in front of the slide.

Master Infiltrator¶

For this trophy/achievement, you’ll need to progress the story until you reach a facility in Modeo Ravine. During the cutscene, you’ll tell Tseng that you’ll infiltrate the facility without being seen. Although you can continue the story if you are seen, you won’t get the trophy/achievement.

Before you start your infiltration, head to your left, and save the game. If you get caught, you’re going to want to reload the save to try again. This is a lot easier than it looks, especially if you don’t care about the chests in there, of which there are five.

Once you start the infiltration, you should see two guards in front of you. One will walk up and down while the second will walk left to right. Wait until they both meet up in the middle, and run left if you want the first chest containing a Power Attack materia. Now run over to the blue boxes, and crouch behind it, and wait until the guard walks past you. Quickly run behind him, and head to the right, and open the chest next to the skip which contains a Dispel materia.

From the chest, turn left, and run straight forward where you’ll find another chest containing some Sprint Shoes. Hide behind the wall here until the guard to your left has walked past, and walked back again. Leave the hiding spot, and walk forward towards the Facility entrance. Before you go in, open the chest containing a Pearl Necklace, then go through the open door to the right of it. When you go through the door, you’ll get the trophy/achievement. There is a temperature mechanic in this minigame where if your body temperature drops below 26.0 you will lose a chest. There isn’t anything special here, especially if you’ve been doing other side missions, but if you do want everything, you’ll need to perform squats to keep your temperature up.
