FFVII REMAKE Walkthrough Cloud, Tifa & Aerith vs Don Corneo's Abzu FFVIIR Chapter 10 (PS5 4K 60FPS)
Chapter 10 - Rough Waters Walkthrough
In this section of the Final Fantasy VII Remake Walkthrough, we'll guide you through Chapter 10, titled "Rough Waters." This includes essential combat tips, enemy strategies, the locations of valuable loot, the Skeleton Key, and recommendations for utilizing Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith effectively.
Boss Fight: Abzu
Before facing the Abzu boss, ensure your party is equipped with Fire Materia, Elemental-linked Fire for one weapon, and Star Pendants. The boss is weak to Fire and inflicts Poison, so be prepared. Equip Ifrit as your Summon and link your highest-level Healing Materia to Magnify for group healing.
Commence the battle by focusing Fire attacks on one of Abzu's horns to Pressure it. Utilize Ifrit's powerful attacks to capitalize on the vulnerability. Watch out for Abzu's Pounce attack, dodge it diagonally, and heal the affected character promptly. When Abzu charges Backwash Spout, avoid the Poison water eruptions.
In Phase 2 (below 50% health), Abzu gains new abilities but sticks to the same elements. Stay close, exploit the Fire weakness, and keep your party healed. When Abzu uses Backwater Blast, run to the opposite side to evade damage. Maintain control with Poisona or Antidotes for the Poison status.
Follow the Waterway
After defeating Abzu, follow Tifa through a hole in the wall. Beware of Sahagin enemies weak to Fire and Ice attacks. Proceed to the upper level, where you'll find a chest with an Ether. Continue through the tunnel, encountering Sahagin foes. Be cautious of their Harpoon Hurl attack turning characters into Toads.
Skeleton Key Location
Navigate through the water-filled room, destroy Shinra boxes, and climb the ladder. Defeat Sahagin enemies, then pull the lever to drain the water. Lower the water level to access the Skeleton Key location under the bridge. The key unlocks a door leading to the end of Sector 6.
Crossing the Trunk Line
Equip Ice Materia (linked to Elemental, if possible) and maintain Fire Materia. Proceed through the sewers, facing Sahagin and Scissorclaws. Destroy Shinra boxes, climb ladders, and lower water levels to access new areas.
To the Surface
After a cutscene, reach a blue bench and vending machine. Restock and continue, encountering Wererats and obtaining Orbs of Gravity from a chest. Follow Tifa and Aerith, defeating Scissorclaws and enemies in various rooms.
Warding Materia and Revival Earrings
In a room with Scissorclaws, find Warding Materia and Revival Earrings. Explore thoroughly for additional rewards. Return to the critical path, descending ladders and facing new enemies.
To the Sector 7 Slums
Navigate through corridors, engage Scissorclaws, and climb ladders. Reach the ladder leading to Sector 7. Follow a long hallway, rest at a blue bench, and face enemies for additional rewards.
To the Surface - Power Generator
Activate the power generator and lower water levels. Face Sahagin ambushes and prepare for a challenging pump operation task.
Operating the Pump - Sewer Wastewater Pump
Control Aerith and Tifa to manipulate the pump. Follow specific steps to clear the pump, ensuring proper timing and coordination.
Recommended Materia and Equipment
Prepare for upcoming battles against Sahagin and Blugu enemies. Equip Fire and Ice Materia, along with defenses against Sleep, Toad, and Poison.
Clear the ambush, lower water levels, and defeat Sahagin enemies. The chapter concludes with a ladder leading to the surface, triggering a cutscene and concluding Chapter 10 - Rough Waters.
