Chapter 5 Walkthrough: Pre-notes

Chapter five is all about the boat. It's a comparatively short one, so let's get into it!

It's a story chapter, and doesn't link in to any world intel areas.

Important loot here would be Kaiser Knuckle, and Fortification Materia.


A Seaborne Soiree

King of Queensblood

The only relevant loot is a Fortification Materia (first time you get it), South of where you register for the Queensblood Game. No relevant loot in the 2nd class and 1st class rooms, or elsewhere. There's a Wisefox Bracelet on sale at the resting area. The Yoga on the deck is pretty funny, heh

I'm guessing if your QB rank is high, you get some extra dialogue here… Beat all opponents to win. 1 per round. Any packs you've missed so far, you can buy here. If you're not into QB you can skip this, check out with the right-side attendant, but you will miss out on some rare cards, and an achievement.


Round 1/2/3/4

Results are In

You have to go through this cycle four times. Your opponent choice doesn't really matter, just for dialogue and relationship building.

R1 Wize or Felix: Both seemingly chumpy

R2 Barret, Aerith, or Tifa: Maximize the voice lines by refusing their challenge, then eventually choose which one you wanna fight. Since Aerith talked the most smack, haha, I challenged her.

R3 Andrea or Madam M: Still pretty easy.

R4 Chadley: His deck has a ton of self buffs. Try to disrupt somehow using destruction cards.


The Final Round

R5 Finals Regina: Again, buffs. The Frog card is dangerous. Destruction cards recommended. Her deck "can" be difficult to beat.

BONUS FOUND Red XIII: Optional battle, but might as well ey.

How to beat Regina? Red XIII? I'll probably make a QB deck guide in the near future. But the best deck you can make right now is a Midgardsormr "self and enemy card destruction" deck. It easily smashes!

You get two cards, Ifrit, and Terror of the Deep. I don't know how many matches you have to win to get either, but winning it all gets both, and an achievement for topping the tournament - which I assume is “missable”, if you fail.

A Little Shut-eye


Feel free to explore, for new praises from the NPC's, but there doesn't seem to be anything new elsewhere

Maritime Emergency

You're forced to use Red XIII, and Aerith - BUT DO NOT EQUIP THEM thinking you'll be using them. You'll ditch them immediately, and end up with Tifa and Barret instead. Lol what a bait. Just go, the enemies are weak anyway.


Stowaways

All Hands on Deck

Passengers in Peril

What Lurks Beyond

To Catch a Fiend

In His Footsteps

Purple chest has Kaiser Knuckles (Tifa Weapon), it's shown in the cutscene where you fight the new enemy type as you enter the cargo hold.


Poor Unfortunate Souls

In His Footsteps

Boss: Jenova Emergent

Deal heavy damage, then destroy the “parts”. No Weaknesses. Poison is deadly - bring Antidote, or Cleansing Materia. You'll likely die if you try to faceroll this, it requires some micromanaging. Build up Synergy Skills, and finish it off with Limit Breaks.


Chapter 5 Walkthrough: Closing notes

Did that captain just say, “There's nothing like a good Lei”? Ok... That's about it for FF7 Rebirth's Chapter 5 Walkthrough!
