Learn how to get the Cell Raider Trophy in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. This guide covers stealing keys, opening cells, and beating the timer.

Alright, so you're in Chapter 4 of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion and you've made it back to the Shinra Building. Professor Hojo's got you on monster-wrangling duty in his lab. You'll notice a machine to the right of Hojo, and hitting that button? Yeah, that's what unleashes some test monsters onto the lower floor. Hojo, being Hojo, decides you're the one to clean up his mess.

Here's the kicker for the Cell Raider Trophy: Hojo mentions the keys to the locked cells on the previous floor are on these monsters. Plus, he's set a three-minute timer before some tranquilizer gas fills the place – fail that, and you're out. You absolutely need the Steal Materia for this, which you should have picked up from Bruno just as you were leaving Sector 5. Make sure it's equipped! You've got to steal a key from each of the six enemies, then open all the cells and grab the loot inside, all before that timer runs out.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head down to the floor with the monsters. They'll be scattered around.
  2. 2
    Go to each monster and initiate a battle. Use the Steal command until you get the Jail Cell Key. Don't worry, the timer pauses during battles, so take your time fighting. Once you have the key, defeat the monster and move on to the next.
  3. 3
    Four monsters are in the main hallway, and the other two are in the room with the locked cells.
  4. 4
    After you've snagged all six keys, open each of the six cell doors one by one. Loot all the chests inside, even though they don't have much of value.
  5. 5
    Once all the chests are cleared, hustle back to the Fusion Lab before the three-minute timer expires. You should have plenty of time if you're a decent level.

If you nail all of that within the time limit, you'll snag the Cell Raider trophy/achievement!

Tips
  • Make sure the Steal Materia is equipped before you head down to the monster floor.
  • Don't stress about fighting the monsters quickly; the timer only ticks down when you're not in battle.
  • Looting the chests in the cells is part of the process, so don't skip them!
