FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE guide · Cloud and the team climb the ruins of the plate to reach Shinra HQ.

Cloud, Tifa, and Barret use grappling hooks to climb the ruined structural debris of the collapsed Sector 7 plate in order to reach Shinra Headquarters. The party traverses vertical platforming sections, battles defending Shinra security forces, and reaches the heights of Midgar. The climb culminates in an intense aerial boss fight against the Valkyrie gunship atop the unfinished highway.

Tips

Barret is essential throughout this chapter because many enemies, including the Valkyrie boss, hover completely out of range of Cloud's and Tifa's melee attacks.
Equip Barret or Cloud with Lightning Materia combined with Elemental Materia on weapons, or carry plenty of MP for Thundaga, to deal with the heavy abundance of Shinra robotic units.
During the Valkyrie fight, take cover behind the intact debris and pillars on the helipad when it prepares its heavy laser barrage attacks.
