Guides / FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE
Chapter 16: The Belly of the Beast
Cloud, Tifa, and Barret infiltrate the Shinra Electric Power Company headquarters to rescue Aerith. The team chooses between climbing 59 flights of emergency stairs or taking the elevator to reach the upper corporate floors, where they explore facilities like the showroom, combat simulator, and executive levels. After acquiring the necessary keycards and attending a corporate presentation, the party witnesses Mayor Domino's covert assistance and ascends further into the building.

Enemies
Highly trained human infantry that use advanced firearm and melee tactics.
Agile sword-wielding operatives capable of leaping attacks and counter-stances; pressure them quickly using elemental fire attacks.
Mechanical security drones encountered in the upper labs that deploy poison clouds and duplicate into numerous small copies upon defeat.
Heavily armored humanoid enemies on motorized wheels that resist physical blows until staggered.
Aerial combat units that hover above melee range and drop flash grenades; use Wind magic or Barret's ranged attacks to ground them.
Shops and people
- Item Vending Machine (63rd Floor Recreation Area): Sells standard consumables, potions, revives, and weapons/accessories.
Tips
- Choosing the emergency stairs leads to lengthy, humorous dialogue among the party members as they get exhausted, but it avoids the multiple random combat encounters triggered by the elevator stops.
- Complete the Shinra Combat Simulator challenges with Chadley nearby as soon as they become available on Floor 63 to gain potent utility Materia like EXP Up and Gil Up immediately.
