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 9 including items that are still considered useful, but are not needed to get the 100%.

All Missable Trophies/Achievements in Chapter 9¶

Seven Wonders Expert¶

Most of this trophy/achievement will have been done in the previous chapter. The only thing left to do in this chapter is the final wonder. You’ll receive mail in the Nibelheim Outskirts. After you receive the mail, head over to the northeast corner where you’ll find a small fence. If you look closely, you’ll see an orange item glow on the floor. Pick it up for a Wall materia as well as the trophy/achievement. You can read the full guide for the trophy here.

Zack the Sniper¶

Once you leave Nibelheim with Cloud. You’ll spot a Sniper Rifle on the floor. This will initiate a minigame. You need to defeat all the Gun Bull Heads in the area without a single one escaping. If one escapes, load up the checkpoint to try again. There are eight Sniper spots in total, and each one will have a different number of targets to take out.

When you defeat a Gun Bull Head, either via the sniper or as a normal battle, you’ll get rewarded with a Kill Point. This can be used to upgrade your Attack, Aim, Wide-Target, or add a Smart Bomb. Each of the upgrades can max out at level 10, and each cost three Kill Points. The Smart Bomb on the other hand can only be used once, and it’ll cost you 6 points every time you want to use it.

Sniper Point 1¶

A single Gun Bull Head at this sniper spot. At first, the aim will swerve all over the place, but try to aim for the head to take it out in one-shot.

Sniper Point 2¶

Same as the first spot, just one Gun Bull Head here. Get used to aiming at its head, as you’ll get the experience now so that when you fight multiple Gun Bull Heads, you won’t miss as many shots.

Sniper Point 3¶

There’s two Gun Bull Heads here, one moving side-to-side, and one stationary. As soon as you take a shot, the other Gun Bull Heads will be alerted, so you’ll need to take your shots quickly, and accurately. Take out the stationary Gun Bull Head first, and that should cause the second to stop to fire at you. Use this time to pick off the second.

Sniper Point 4¶

Three Gun Bull Heads here, and they are all moving. Ideally, you’ll have a fully upgraded sniper rifle by now, if not, use the tip above. Wait until each one has reached the end of its path, and shoot its head before it heads back. This is also a good time to use a Smart Bomb.

Sniper Point 5¶

This sniper spot can be easy to miss as it’s to the right of the intersection. There will be three stationary Gun Bull Heads here. Aim for the heads, and take them out.

Sniper Point 6¶

There are only two stationary targets here, but these two are sturdier. One is called the GH-WEDGE, and the other is the GH-BIGGS. Do three headshots on the GH-WEDGE (left), and a Smart Bomb on GH-BIGGS to the right.

Sniper Point 7¶

This spot can also be tough to see, take a left at the intersection to find it. You’ll be up against three Gun Bull Heads here, but they will attempt to flee after the first shot. Make sure you headshot the first, and place some well-aimed body shots at the other two before they escape.

Sniper Point 8¶

The final point to the right of the intersection will have three Gun Bull Heads. Shoot at the barrel to destroy the one on the left, use a Smart Bomb on the middle, and snipe at the remaining Gun Bull Head on the right. You’ll need to be quick if you don’t want them escaping.

If you defeat all the Gun Bull Heads without any escaping, you’ll get the trophy/achievement. If any escape, you’ll need to load up the checkpoint and start again. You can read our full guide on the trophy/achievement here.

Waterfall Chaser¶

After the scene where Zack sees Angeal take off after the figure. Head up to the Hills area and go to the cliff’s edge to progress the story where you’ll learn Cloud is in trouble back where you left him. The Waterfall Chaser Trophy/Achievement mini-game takes place in this area.

This is a unique trophy/achievement where you’ll need to trigger the minigame. This can be tedious as you’ll need to run around the area and win seven battles. Once you’ve completed the seven battles. Try to leave the area via the exit near the waterfall, and you’ll notice a chest come down the waterfall. This will give you a prompt to see if anymore come down. Choose to do so to start the minigame!

The goal is to get all chests that come down the waterfall. There are 10 chests in total, and you’ll need to get all of them for the trophy/achievement. It isn’t that easy though, as sometimes enemies will come down instead of a chest. If they make contact with you, you’ll be paralyzed for a brief period which can cause you to miss some chests. Thankfully, the chests and enemies will always fall in the same order as noted below:

• Chest in the middle
• Enemy to the left and right
• Chest to the left (behind the left enemy)
• Chest to the right (behind the right enemy)
• Repeat

If you manage to miss a chest, you can retry the minigame by leaving the area, and returning to it. This may take a few tries as the controls for Zack in this minigame are questionable at best. You can read our full guide on the trophy/achievement here.
