Back to Corel you delve in Chapter 12! This is my straight to the point, NO BS Walkthrough for Chapter 12 of FF7 Rebirth. Here, you will expect:

  • Only important notes. If a segment is blank, means there's nothing relevant to say.
  • SPOILER FREE. Any potential spoilers will be blurred. Click to Reveal.
  • Important of "missable" items will be noted to the best of my ability.
  • Time saving or important reminders that are pretty impactful.
  • No useless pictures I'll only add really important ones if any.
  • Use CTRL+F to search or scroll to the Main Scenario quest name you need help on.

Chapter 12 Walkthrough: Pre-notes

First of all, and most importantly FAST TRAVEL TO ANYWHERE is now possible - and I mean anywhere even in other regions.

There's a lot of newly unlocked sidequests and many minigames are updated. It's admittedly a bit overwhelming. It's at this point I can recommend you to "skip" these for now and continue with the story. It varies from person to person, but if there is a time to do this - it's now. Many of these things are "fluff" anyway, and you can come back to it later.

Full Speed Ahead

The Keystone's Whereabouts

Find Dio

Have conversation with the party! Barret at Events Square. Cid at Speed Square. Tifa at Skywheel. Vincent at Ghost Square. Red at Chocobo Square.

There's special content here - Yuffie at Wonderment Square (3D Brawler). You can challenge her!

Aerith is at Battle Square, which coincidentally is where you need to go to progress. (NOTE: It's possible that some of these are switched up depending on who your "date" will be?)

Prepare for Tomorrow

Tending to the Sick

A Visitor, Come Again

Whoever picks you up in your room depends on relationship level. After beating the game, you can select all possibilities for this and the 'date', if you don't wanna miss content. So don't worry about it.

Loveless

Honestly, this was pretty epic. Getting an S here if you can! And choose not to weaken Garm.

Private Moment

The Fight for Naming Rights

Your party here consists of Cloud + your companion the previous night + anyone else of your choice. This is a long chain of fights!

Boss: Abzu

Use Fire until about half HP - where they start evading fire SPELLS. Baiting the charge onto a wall causes a pressure.

Interlopers

Catch your Breath

You get time to setup here. Note that YOU NEED TO SETUP CLOUD HERE FOR A 1v1 FIGHT AFTER. There's no savepoint "in between", it's 2 straight boss fights.

Cloud Setup: To help Cloud in his 1v1, you can take some precautions. Time Materia (for haste), Barrier, Protect, and Healing Materia. Item Economizer + Item Master is also great. All the Passive materia you can fit! HP, MP, Strength, Speed, Vitality. Enemy Skill is always great, and Assess if you can. This fight can be very frustrating for some people so don't hesitate to pull out all the stops.

Boss: Rude and Elena

At this point you know all of their tricks. Synergy Attacks, attack the girl first... This isn't your first Rodeo against these two. Smash them and continue.

Boss: Rufus

Now this one can be pretty annoying. The whole point of this fight is this: ATTACK (preferably with an ATB command) WHILE HE'S DOING A SKILL OR RELOADING WILL PRESSURE HIM. Any other attack will be dodged, blocked, and countered. It's very frustrating if you try to mindlessly bash your head against him. You need to time your attacks.

Have no ATB? using the dodge + wave attacks are great for building up. Basic attacks might get countered so be careful. Once you have some ATB try to keep Haste up.

If you have ATB, now it's time to punish. Once he uses a skill you can either Focused Thrust or Triple Slash Pressue him and close the gap. You can also try to do it with basic attacks.

Basic attack or ATB command while he's reloading is another window of opportunity. But, it's not that great - the "punish" for cancelling his skill is a lot better.

Be aggressive, but mindful - this fight is all about timing. Playing too slowly will dragin your resources eventually.

ONCE DARKSTAR (doggy) SPAWNS - Do all you can to knock Darkstar out immediately. Trying to take on the master first while the pet is out is a huge NO-NO.

Cait Burglar

Scaredy Cat

Cat and Mouse

He's at the Southeast Bench, hiding behind a giant moogle like what he rides.

Hightailing it

Crystalline Cross (Yuffie Weapon) in the Purple Chest at the end of the long hallway (in the employee area).

Tracking the Turks

Onto Chapter 13!

There's also a couple things going on at this point as well, like being able to complete Corel Protorelic, and this Priate Kings Treasure shenanigans.
