This topic and all of the chapter topics will list out all collectibles, including trophies in chronological order. Most of the stuff is missable, meaning that there is no free-roam after beating the game. Do not start NG+, and try to keep as much saves as possible - so you can unlock some trophies or save some time if you missed some collectibles along the way.

Chapter 10 - Collectible Details

Cage Opener trophy
When you enter the Depths of Judgement, save athe bottom. This is like a middle hub area. Inspect the tablet ("LOVELESS – Prologue") here next to the save, and make your way towards and into the northwestern area (Howling Fang). Inspect the tablet here for Act II. Return back to the hub and enter the area south (Portal of Severance) for Act III, and finally, back to hub and east side cave for Act I tablet. After reading all four tablets, enter Lake of Oblivion (next to the Act I, east) and in the area will be 5 glowing mako springs you can interact with to spawn an enemy. Defeat all 5 of these enemies (Quake and Thungaga works good), and a path will open to the Cage of Binding, to the north of the lake. This unlocks the trophy.

Getting all keys (optional) & Behemoth King optional mini-boss

Enter Cage of Binding which opened after defeating 5 enemies for the Cage Opener trophy. Defeating certain enemies gives you a key, which you can then use to go deeper in this area. At the end there is a key for unlocking a doors to an option fight with Bahamuth (If you entered one of the areas connected to the hub area, you've maybe seen locked bars with this enemy behing them).

With each key from an certain enemy group you will get a key. Each key opens doors inside this area. Use the keys to proceed and collect chests as they contain good treasure.

Defeat Nightmare enemy to obtain Goddess Base Key and Goddess Sacral Key,
Defeat Mover to obtain Goddess Solar Key and another Mover after that (in another fight with 2) to get Goddess Heart Key.
Defeat Death Machine to obtain Goddess Throat Key
Defeat Evil Eye to obtain Goddess Third Eye Key
Defeat Grosspanzer to obtain Goddess Crown Key.

Collect Iron Bars Key from the chest at the end of the area. You can now save nearby, and challenge Behemoth King mini-boss. Prepare a Dispel Blade materia to negate the Regen effect from the boss. Do so every time he uses Regen on him. The rest is about spaming Quake or some good AP move like Blast Wave to deal good damage. Use Phoenix Down on yourself if you fear for your life, and Wall materia is not bad to raise defence. Curaga is a must, or using Elixirs if you have them.

Open the chest behing the boss for Flare materia. Flare is great.

Getting all story key item materias

You can find 4 chests in the hub area, and 3 in the Lake of Oblivion (next to the Act II, east path from the hub if you look at the map). Open the chests and you can follow the story mission target icon to reach a pedastal where you must place all 7 key item materias. This opens a path to the final boss. Save here. and make a separate save just in case - this is where you return after beating the final boss if you don't overwrite your saves with a NG+ save. 

Final boss Alert

You need to defeat the final boss to finish the game of course. You can do it on Normal difficulty first, and then load the save before, switch to Hard, defeat the boss again. This will unlock all trophies for beating the game on given difficulties.

The final boss is not really that hard, prepare with some strong magic materias like Thundaga, Flare, Quake, have Curaga and some good AP skill like Goblin Punch. The rest is about killing the minions, and damaging the boss. The same goes for next fights as well. You can always grind missions if you feel week at this point, and retry when you're stronger. You need to finish all of the missions anyway, so it makes sense to combine that.

Missing mails for Mail Completionist trophy

For All Mails trophy (receiving an email from all of the senders, meaning from each category), you may still be missing some:

  • Shop mail (reward for Mission 2-3-1)
  • Shop News mail (Mission 6-2-1)
  • Treasure Princess - Yuffie Missions (Mission 8-4-1)
  • Anonymous - Yuffie Missions (Mission 8-4-6)
  • Yuffie - Yuffie Missions (reward for Mission 8-5-6)

DMW Image Unlocks & Dmw Completion 100%

You need to unlock all DMW summons. They are usually a reward from beating the certain mission. I will list them all in the categories below. Unlocking 100% DMW Progress after unlocking them all into the DMW menu grants you part of the Genji set - the best set in the game. Genji Armor, which you get then, raises your HP limit to 99,999 points, which is something that can help a lot for beating all missions.

All 300 missions preparation and hints

Raising proficiency with Buster sword and breaking the damage limit

Let's start working on our damage limit first. By default, the damage ceiling is 9999 damage. It's the same with your HP as well. There are 2 ways to break damage limit:

  • Increase Buster Sword Proficiency to 25% on the PS5 version. It's weird, but the % on the PS4 version is 12.5%. But on the PS5 version when you raise it above 15% it will jump to 25% at that point.
    Buster Sword is obtained during the story in Chapter 6. When you initiate a fight, look on the right, there is a "Proficiency..." label. The only way to raise it is to press X + Square button, and then attack either with regular attack or some skill (yellow) materia.
    The best and the easiest way is the Training mission under 1-1-2 with 50 enemies. I started with Jump materia, with ATK++, HP++, Quake. You can also prepare some other materia you want to level up along the way. Now, the max you can raise the proficiency is 0.57% per battle. That means you will soon hit that mark in the mentioned mission - that is why you also have quake to easily kill the enemies when your proficency stops growing. You can't just spam yellow skills like jump - half of those 0.57% comes from killing enemies with regular attacks while in stance mode + the remaining 0.07% for guarding while in battle stance mode. I combined this step with leveling up Goblin punch materia, as much ATK+, HP+, MAG+, MP+ materias I had - to fuse them later when you cross the 9999 limits. 
  • "Brutal" accessory is another way to break the limit. It's a reward from Mission 7-4-6, 9-5-1, or found in a chest in Mission 9-6-3.

With either of these set, now you need to find some high-damage materia that will make this hit. You can use the Quake, or Darkness Materia (reward from Mission 4-4-2 and 8-4-6), but it requires high stats, so your best bet is Costly Punch materia (yellow materia). To get it, you need Goblin Punch (rewards for the Watefal trophy mini-game during Chapter 9, or found in a chest during mission 9-5-4) + any purple materia from Research Dept. QMC+ Shop (reward from the chest in Chapter 9 Gongaga Outskirts - after talking to Cissnei check before climbing up the hill).

When you have 9999 HP (you can equip some HP++ materias and max them out, plus some accessories that raise HP %), and you hit an enemy's weak spot (critical hit from behind), you should deal 99999 damage. Neat! You will use this for beating all missions probably, it's a great way to be really strong.
