Discover Nibelheim's Seven Wonders! Learn the exact steps to find the Shinra Mansion safe code in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion and claim your Vital Slash Materia.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Chapter 8 of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion and heard whispers about Nibelheim's Seven Wonders? You're in luck, because tracking these down is key to snagging the 'Seven Wonders Expert' Trophy/Achievement. One of the trickiest parts is the safe code in the Shinra Mansion, just like in the original game. Don't worry, I'll walk you through finding every digit!

First things first, you'll need to head to the Nibelheim - Outskirts area to find the Shinra Mansion. Once you're inside, the safe is waiting for you, but it needs a four-digit code. Let's break down how to find each number.

First Digit

Head upstairs in the Shinra Mansion and make your way to the door on the right, that's the northeast one. You'll get a prompt to peek through the keyhole. Inside, you'll see a bookshelf. Your first digit comes from counting the books that are NOT on the shelves. Yep, even the ones piled on top count towards this total!

Second Digit

Now, head back downstairs and go through the east door. Again, you'll get the option to look through the keyhole. This time, you need to count the number of enemies you can see. Be patient here – they might pop in and out of view. Make sure to scan both sides of the room and wait a moment after moving the camera to catch them all.

Third Digit

Time to head back upstairs to find the third digit. Go to the door on the left at the top. Peer through the keyhole, and this time you're looking for Banora apples and tins of fruit. You'll need to count every single one you can spot. They might be hidden under furniture or in less obvious spots, so search thoroughly!

Fourth Digit

For the final digit, make your way back downstairs and use the keyhole on the door to your left. This one's pretty straightforward: you just need to count the number of chairs in the room. They're hard to miss, so this should be a quick one!

Entering the Code

Once you've got all four digits, head back upstairs. Find the room on the west side – it's the only one you can enter up there. Input the code you've gathered, and a Cactuar will pop out! You'll snag the Vital Slash Materia and check off another wonder for that achievement. Nice work!
