Side quests are great opportunities to earn some extra rewards in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. There’s an interesting Burning Thighs side quest in Chapter 9 that will put your coordination and endurance to the test. But to take on this side quest, you need to enter the gym.
Where is the gym located inĀ Final Fantasy 7 Remake? The gym is located in theĀ Sector 6 Slums, the Wall Market area to be more precise. To access the facility, talk to the lead trainer, Jules.
Enter the gym, talk to Jules to learn more about your assignment and what you need to do to earn some useful rewards.Ā If you emerge victorious, you’ll earn 3 Mega-Potions, HP and MP restored.
Jules is the gym’s head trainer and the person who will guide you through. The mission is to beat Ronnie in a squat-off. Luckily for you, this won’t be that hard as Ronnie’s got some serious balance problems.
Of course, if you like to collect various items, you can engage in additionalĀ mini-games to unlock more achievements.
Rhythm is key in this squatting mini game
The idea is to time your fingers with the on-screen icons and press the triangle, circle, cross and square sequence to squat.
The catch is the timing will get quicker and quicker and the icons will gradually disappear. The challenge here is to have the rhythm down and keep an eye onĀ Cloudās body positioning to know when it’s the best time to press each button sequence. Don’t hurry and don’t panic — try to control your movements so as not to break the whole cycle.
Winning this side quest should not be that difficult. Simply finish the first round before Ronnie and the 3 Mega-Potions are yours.
There is also an Orb of Luck-Up Materia reward and a Sultan of Squat trophy you can win if you take on even tougher squatting challenges.
And know you know where you to find the gym in FF7 Remake and what to expect in terms of challenges.
