In the seventeenth installment of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade’s “A Way Out,” players navigate Hojo’s subterranean research facility, confronting tactical battles and hidden equipment. This walkthrough pinpoints every critical item’s placement for strategists aiming to maximize their arsenal.
Arsenal Upgrades
Aerith’s Reinforced Staff – a mystical catalyst enhancing spell potency – awaits discovery within a violet-hued chest in Floor 65’s Specimen Enclosures. Visible immediately upon chapter commencement, this prize fortifies magic-centric builds.
Later within The Drum’s Level 3 (Passage C), during the “Locate Allies” objective, survivors of a skirmish against mechanized adversaries will find Cloud’s dual-bladed Twin Stinger. Ascend stairs post-combat and locate the adjacent violet container to claim this agile weapon.
Battle Modifiers
Following interaction with the Central Control Terminal, switch to Barret and Cloud to locate Time Materia near the activated console. This temporal manipulator proves invaluable for altering combat momentum.
Protective Gear
Revisiting the facility as Tifa and Aerith in The Drum’s Piping System (Level 7) reveals the Force Bracelet behind newly accessible pathways. Barret’s explosive entry into Biological Testing (Level 4) yields the Astral Cuff in a side chamber, while Level 5’s Control Deck hides the Chain Bangle amidst biological specimens.
Mandatory Rewards
The Swordipede confrontation guarantees acquisition of the Force Bracelet, while triumph over Jenova Dreamweaver secures the Astral Cuff. These narrative-driven encounters ensure key defensive items remain unobscured by optional content.
