Chapter 1: The Destruction of Mako Reactor 1
Cloud Strife joins Avalanche on a contract mission to infiltrate and destroy Mako Reactor 1 in Midgar. You fight through Shinra security forces and descend into the reactor's core to plant a bomb. After defeating the Scorpion Sentinel, you must escape the collapsing facility before the detonation timer expires.
Items
0/3
Enemies
Standard Shinra infantry easily pressured by Cloud's Operator attacks or Fire magic
Agile canine unit that can pounce and pin characters; easily knocked down with Punisher Mode counterattacks
Floating drone shielded against physical attacks; highly susceptible to magic attacks like Fire or Wind
Ceiling-mounted automated laser turret vulnerable to ranged attacks from Barret or Lightning spells
Heavy Shinra mech; striking it with Barret's Thunder or focused attacks rapidly fills its stagger gauge
Boss encountered at the reactor core; activates a frontal barrier that requires flanking to deal damage
Tips
- Cloud's Punisher Mode automatically parries and counters close-range melee attacks when holding the guard button.
- Switching to Barret lets you deal with flying and wall-mounted enemies that Cloud cannot easily reach with his sword.
- When the Scorpion Sentinel deploys its Field Generator shield, attack it from behind or destroy the generator core to disable it.
- During the Scorpion Sentinel's tail laser attack, take cover behind the debris in the arena to avoid taking massive damage.
- Choosing between the 20-minute and 30-minute timer before planting the bomb only affects your escape time limit and dialogue, not the items in the chapter.
