Learn how to unlock extra accessory slots in Crisis Core Reunion by completing specific missions. Get the Keychain and Backpack key items to expand your gear options.
Hey there! So, you're looking to squeeze more gear onto Zack, huh? Increasing your accessory slots is a super smart move in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, and thankfully, it's not too complicated. It all comes down to completing a specific chain of missions in the game's Mission Mode. Let's break down how to get those extra slots!
- 1Unlocking the Keychain (3rd Accessory Slot):
First things first, you'll need to progress through the main story until you reach Chapter 4. This is when you'll first meet Aerith. As soon as you can access a save point, you'll notice some new missions popping up. The key mission here is Mission 7-2-1: Search and Destroy. Completing this mission is crucial because it not only unlocks the ability to use items during Materia Fusion (which is super handy!) but also starts the chain that leads to unlocking your third accessory slot via the Keychain.
Don't worry too much about this first mission; it's generally straightforward. Just be prepared for an Arachno mech at the end. Watch out for its EM Field attack – it can catch you off guard!
- 2Unlocking the Backpack (4th Accessory Slot):
After you've gotten the Keychain and are comfortable with item fusion, you'll want to continue down this mission path. You'll need to reach Mission 7-2-5 to snag the Backpack, which grants you your fourth accessory slot. Along the way, you'll face some tough enemies.
Mission 7-2-4 introduces Death Claws. These guys are fast and can be a real pain, especially if you're relying on Materia like Darkness, as they tend to survive it.
The main event is Mission 7-2-5. Here, you'll face a trio of enemies: two Gargoyles and an Ahriman. The Gargoyles hit hard with Firaga and Thundaga, and they can also use Barrier and Cura. If you're using Darkness Materia, Barrier won't be an issue since it bypasses defenses. The Ahriman is also a threat with its Curse Gaze (which disables your DMW!) and Thundaga.
Strategy Tip: If you're quick, you can often take out these enemies before they get too many attacks off. If you need a bit more breathing room, wait for one of them to miss an attack before going on the offensive. This gives you a small window to strike without taking damage.
- Make sure you're adequately leveled before tackling the later missions in the 7-2 series. The enemies get progressively tougher.
- Experiment with different Materia combinations. Having strong offensive Materia like Darkness or powerful elemental spells will make these missions much smoother.
- Don't forget to equip the Keychain and Backpack once you've obtained them to actually benefit from the extra slots!
