Unlocking the Elusive Waterfall Chaser Trophy in Crisis Core Reunion
As you venture through the nostalgic world of Crisis Core Reunion, collecting trophies along the way, you may come across the Waterfall Chaser trophy. Veteran players know — this one is notoriously easy to miss. With no map indicator and tricky requirements, many see it slip through their fingers. But not today! In this comprehensive guide, we‘ll walk you through everything you need to know to finally grab that trophy.
A Hidden Mini-Game Holds the Key
To snag the Waterfall Chaser trophy, you must complete a hidden mini-game tucked away in Chapter 9. This takes place in the Gongaga area, specifically near the Waterfall cliffs beyond the reactor.
This scenic locale hides a secret. As you explore after battling enemies, Zack will hear a curious noise. Approach the cliff edge to trigger a prompt. Here, a chest tumbles down the waterfall, and Zack wonders if more will follow. Choosing to wait begins the elusive mini-game.
Dodging Enemies While Chasing Chests
In the mini-game, chests and enemies both cascade down the waterfall. Your goal is to collect 10 treasure chests while avoiding the enemies. Coming into contact with foes temporarily freezes Zack in place, costing precious seconds.
The chests appear in a set order, alternating between left, center, and right positions in the waterfall. Enemies also have set spawn locations. Learning these patterns is key to an efficient route.
Study the diagram below to visualize the ideal movement path:
As shown above, the general strategy is:
- Stand back to observe initial spawns
- Rush to grab central chest
- Evade left enemy by moving right
- Loop back left to collect side chests
- Repeat process dodging enemies
Quick reflexes and tight movement are required to traverse the limited space without freezing. An excellent sense of timing also helps greatly.
Claim Your Prizes
After snatching the final 10th chest, Zack tallies up his haul:
- 3,000 Gil
- Goblin Punch x1
- Hi-Potion x1
- X-Potion x1
- Elixir x1
…and most importantly, the long-awaited Waterfall Chaser trophy!
Failing to collect every chest simply restarts the mini-game instead of locking you out. But considering the 7 enemy battles required to trigger it again, mastery on the first try is highly recommended.
Conclusion
Obtaining the Waterfall Chaser trophy tests your agility and perseverance. But with this guide‘s knowledge of spawn patterns and suggested pathing, you can conquer the waterfall! Savour the satisfaction of another rare trophy get for Crisis Core Reunion.
