Chapter 14 of Final Fantasy VII Remake represents the largest open exploration point in the game before entering the final linear narrative stretch. Players are given access to the Sector 5 Slums, Sector 6 Slums, Wall Market, and connected wilderness areas to finish remaining side objectives. Completing these optional tasks yields powerful weapons, key item manuscripts, and critical trophies necessary for full game completion.
Complete List of Chapter 14 Side Quests
There are nine official side quests available to clear during Chapter 14. These include Missing Children, Chocobo Search, Malicious Goons, Wavering Heart, The Power of Music, Secret Medicine, Tomboy Bandit, Corneo's Secret Stash, and Subterranean Menace. Additionally, players can discover the Johnny's Stolen Wallet event by speaking to Johnny at the Sector 5 Train Station.
Optimal Route for Clearing All Objectives
To clear every quest efficiently, players should start by grabbing initial quest prompts around Sector 5 Slums and Wall Market before venturing out. Completing Tomboy Bandit early rewards you with the Corneo Vault Key, which is required to open the hidden vaults scattered across the map. Heading into the underground lab next lets you complete Subterranean Menace while gathering crucial items for Secret Medicine simultaneously.
Key Combat Tips and Unique Rewards
Certain encounters in this chapter demand specific tactical setups to handle tough boss variants. Defeating the Type-0 Behemoth in the underground facility rewards Barret's Wrecking Ball weapon and the Behemoth Horn. Furthermore, completing all nine quests unlocks the special resolution scene at Aerith's house before progressing past the Wall Market gates.
Post-Game Completion and Trophy Progression
Finishing every side quest in Chapter 14 is essential for players aiming to unlock the Best in the Business trophy. If any quest is missed during a first playthrough, Chapter Select becomes available after completing the main story to let players revisit specific chapters. Tackling these quests on Hard mode also rewards ultimate skill manuscripts to maximize character weapon proficiencies.
