Get the lowdown on unlocking and completing the 'Pursue the Remnants' missions in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, including tips for the tough final boss!
Alright, so once you hit Chapter 2 in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, you'll find a bunch of new Missions popping up, especially when you reach the next Save Point. This is when the 'To End the War with Wutai' category unlocks, and within it, the 'Pursue the Remnants' sub-category. These missions are all about taking on those Wutai enemies you got a taste of back in Chapter 1. You can jump into most of them right away, but that last one? It's a bit of a wall that'll make you stop and think.
Here's a look at the missions you'll be tackling:
| Mission | Unlock | Rank | Enemies | Rewards |
| 4-1-1: Wutai Units Found | During the story at the start of Chapter 2 | 1 | Foulander, Wutai Private, Wutai Sergeant | Elixir |
| 4-1-2: Anti-SOLDIER Monsters | Complete Mission 4-1-1 | 1 | Vajradhara Wu, Vajradhara Tai, Wutai Private, Wutai Sergeant | Bulletproof Vest |
| 4-1-3: Pursue the Deserters | Complete Mission 4-1-2 | 2 | Balo Balo, Wutai Soldier Jia, Wutai Staff Sergeant | Libra Materia |
| 4-1-4: Wutai Remnants in the Slums | Complete Mission 4-1-3 | 2 | Balo Balo, Wutai Soldier Jia, Wutai Staff Sergeant | Muscle Belt |
| 4-1-5: Stop the Intruders | Complete Mission 4-1-4 | 3 | Wutai Corporal, Wutai Soldier Yi | Mute Shock Materia |
| 4-1-6: Search for Wutai Remnants | Complete Mission 4-1-5 | 4 | Vajradhara Cala, Wutai Sergeant Major, Wutai Soldier Bing | Poison Blade Materia |
Honestly, the first few missions in this bunch are a breeze. You've already dealt with these Wutai Soldiers plenty, and even the Jia's and Staff Sergeants are just slightly tougher versions. Your usual tactics should work just fine.
The real kicker, and where a lot of players get tripped up, is the final mission, M4-1-6: Search for Wutai Remnants. Even though it's only a 4-star mission and you might have tackled similar ones earlier, the boss here can really catch you off guard. That Vajradhara Cala's Tomahawk special attack? It'll likely one-shot you if you're not ready. To get around this, make sure you equip HP Up Materia, use the Barrier spell (since it's a physical attack), and slap on any accessories that boost your VIT, like that Bulletproof Vest you got earlier. For dealing damage, magic like Fira will take huge chunks out of its health, just don't forget to pack some Ethers to keep your MP up.
Nailing this sub-category will unlock the next set of missions, Mission 4-2: Behind the Scenes.
