Chapter 9 takes place beneath the bright lights of Wall Market and has 5 Side Quests in total. Unlike other chapters though, you'll only be able to complete three of them in a single playthrough, meaning that you'll need to replay the chapter multiple times if you're aiming to unlock the "Best in the Business" trophy. That's okay though, as multiple playthroughs are also required for those hoping to168澳洲幸运5开奖✃网: unlock all nine of the game's dresses.
Which three side quests you have access to is tied to a handful of key decisions. You'll either get the Chocobo Sam side quests "The Party Never Stops" and "A Dynamite Body" or the Madam M side queꦗsts "The Price of Thievery" and "Shear’s Counterattack". "Burning Thighs" will be available regardless of which choices you make.
Chocobo Sam Vs. Madam M
The game uses a points based system to determine which side quests will be available and it's tied to seven different decisions that are found🥀 throughout the early parts of the chapter. Certain responses will add points to either Chocobo Sꩵam or Madam M's counts and the one with the highest total after the battle with Hell House will ultimately be chosen.
For a full breakdown of how this works, you can skip to the end of this section💃, but if you're just looking to find out how to guarantee one questline in particular, there are a few key choices that you can choose to focus on. To unlock the Chocobo Sam side quests, you'll need to say that Tifa is in great shape, 🐻pick either heads or tails when Sam proposes a coin toss, agree with Johnny, choose the Poor Man's massage course and say that Aerith's outfit is "alright."
To gain access to Madam Mಞ's side quests, you'll instead need to say that Tifa is good with the books, select the "No Deal" option when Sam proposes a coin toss, ignore or disagree with Johnny, splash out on the most expen✤sive massage course and choose the "It matters what I think?" option when asked about Aerith's outfit.
When asking about Tifa
At the beginning o💟f the chapter, Chocobo Sam will ask you to describe Tifa. Selecting "She's in great shape." will add one point to Sam while "She's great at handling the books." will instead add one to Madam M. "She's a great fighter." is a๊ neutral answer.
When responding to the hotel employee
As you walk pa🌜st the hotel for the first time, one of the employe♊es will ask if you need a room. Choosing the "No thanks." option will add one point to Sam while asking how much will count towards Madam M. Telling him to back off will count as a neutral decision.
Agreeing with Johnny
Agreeing wit💖h Johnny will add one point to Sam, but selecting "no" is considered a neutral answer.
Sam's coin toss
Regardless of the option you choose, you'll be adding points to Chocobo Sam here, but selecting "No deal." will only add half a point🌃 rather than the 1.5 points that are added for choosing heads or tails.
Choosing a massage
When you first meet Madam M, you'll have the option of getting a massage. Leaving or choosing the Poor Man's course will count as a neutral answer, but selecting the Standard or Luxury courওses will add one or two points to Madam M's total respectively.
Commenting on Aerith's outfit
After Madam M agrees to provide a dress for Aerith, you'll be asked for your opinion on her current look. Remarking that it looks uncomfortable is considered neutral, saying that it's alright will add a𓄧 point to Chocobo Sam and selecting "It matters what I think?" will add one f♈or Madam M.
Drinking the mystery drink
Prior to y🎐our first Colosseum battle you'll be able to find a mystery drink in the waiting area. Choosing to drink it adds a point to Sam's total while opting not to is considered neutral.
Burning Thighs
Head over to 🅘the gym near the Corneo Colosseum and speak with Jules, the long-haired trainer inside. If you played the original release of the game, you should be familiar with the squats challenge that he proposes already. If you're new to the world of Final Fantasy VII though, it might take a little bit of getting used to.
To complete the side quest, you'll need to outperform Ronnie by pressing the f𒅌ace buttons on your controller to the correct rhythm. The more squats you complete, the faster you'll need to push the buttons. Thankfully, Ronnie ཧis pretty awful and so beating him isn't the least bit challenging.
You'll get three Mega Potions for completing the quest, but there are two additional difficulty levels for those looking for more of a challenge. Beating them will reward you with an orb of Luck Up Materia and a Champion Belt as well as unlocking the Sultan of Squat trophy. If you're having trouble with some of the more difficult levels, be sure to check out 168澳洲幸运5开奖网🅺:our guide on how to master the squats challenge.
The Party Never Stops (Chocobo Sam)
After completing the Burning Thighs side quest, head over to the nearby clothing store and speak with the owner's son. Apparently, the owner hasn't been having the best of times lately and is drowning his sorrows at one of Wall Market's many bars. You'll need to find him and convince him to come home, which ends up being🐟 a lot easier said than done.
Johnny will show up and lead you over to the Yoidore bar and you'll find the clothing store owner there lamenting the loss of his 'inspiration.' He'll explain that he lost it in a bet with the Materia vendor, so head over🌞 to the Materia Store next to find it. Of course, the vendor's not going to just hand it over to you and will ask that you acquire a special item from the vending machine at the inn for him before he does.
It will take three attempts, but the machine will eventually spit out 'the sauce.' Take it to the Materia 💮vendor and he'll tell you that he no longer has the 'inspiration' and suggests that the restaurant owner might have it. Upon arriving at the restaurant, you'll need to use one of your elemental Materia on his appliances, so choose the appliance that corresponds with your highest level Materia (Fire = Stove, Ice = Fridge, and Lightning = Power Supply). After doing so, the restaurant owner will prepare a meal for Johnny who'll then get incredibly sick.
The restaurant owner will give you a medicine voucher, so run over to the pharmacist to𒁏 redeem it. He'll ask you to deliver some medicine for him while he tends to Johnny which requires another trip to the Yoidore bar. Find the sick pe🎃rson in the bathroom and give him the medicine and then return to the pharmacist. He'll give you the 'inspiration,' which turns out to be a VIP pass for the Honeybee Inn.
Return to the bar and reunite the Clothing Store owner with his prized possession and then make your way back to the Clothing Store to finally wrap up the quest. You're probabl🌼y expecting a pretty decent reward for all of that legwork, but alas. Al🎉l you'll get is a bottle of Turbo Ether.
A Dynamite Body (Chocobo Sam)
Sam's second quest is a Corneo Colosseum battle against two Bombs. To get the ball rolling, you'll first need to have completed the previous two side quests (B🐻urning Thighs and The Party Never Stops). After doing so, head over to Chocobo Sam and then make you🃏r way to the coliseum.
The Bombs have a lot of fire attacks, so if you picked up the Elemental Materia in Chapter 6, you can pair it with an orb of Fire Materia in your armor to nullify a lot of their attacks. It's best to keep your distance while they're using area attacks, so bide your time and only get in close when you're confident you can land an attack without taking too much damage. It might take a while, but the Arca🌳ne Scepter you'll get for defeating them is a more than fitting reward. If playing on Hard Mode, however, you'll instead get the The Art of Swordplay Vol. X manuscript for Cloud.
The Price of Thievery (Madame M)
If you made all of the right choices to unlock Madame M's side quests and have already completed Burning Thighs, you'll find Mireille (the old lady from the Sector 5 Slums🦄) arguing with one of Chocobo Sam's stable hands. Interact with them and Mireille will ask you to track down three bandits who have been trying to bl𝓰ame their misdeeds on the Angel of the Slums.
Head back to Evergreen Park and enter the utility tunnel that leads to the c🅷ollapsed expressway and you'll soon run into some old friends boasting about their latest crime. Thankfully, they're all incredibly weak to ♈fire attacks, so if you picked up the Elemental Materia in Chapter 6, pair it with an orb of Fire Materia in your weapon to maximize damage.
Th🐷e Grungy Bandit is fairly tough compared to the other three, but providing you're able to dodge his heavy-hitting attacks, you shouldn't have too much trouble. Take out the weaker bandits first and be sure to steal a Champion Belt from the Grungy Bandit while you're here. Once defeated, Cloud will drag them back to the stables and you'll get a bottle of Turbo Ether for your troubles. On Hard Mode, this is replaced with The Art of Swordplay Vol. VIII; a manuscript for Cloud.
Shear’s Counterattack (Madame M)
After completing The Price of Thievery, head over to Madam M's place and the Gatekeeper from the coliseum will greet you🌞 outside and invite you to a special battle. Make your way over to the Corneo Colosseum and prepare yourself for a fairly simple battle. You'll be up against the Jury-🉐Rigged Cutter again, so if you have it, pair the Elemental Materia with an orb of Lightning Materia in Cloud's weapon.
Try and get behind it whenever possible and be sure to get out of the way when it starts spitting fire. Be sure to use your abilities whenever y🐭ou have ATB gauges to spare and hit it with a few casts of Thundaga from time to time to speed things up. Once the battle is over, Madam M will greet you at the gates and, if you don't already have it, she'll reward you with the Arcane Scepter, a weapon for Aerith. On Hard Mode, you'll instead get The Art of Swordplay Vol. IX manuscript for Cloud.
