10 Hardest Video Game Achievements Of 2020 (So Far)
7. Final Fantasy VII Remake - Ultimate Weapon
Similar to Darksiders, the Ultimate Weapon achievement in Final Fantasy VII is an arena-type endeavour. This time, however, the slog won’t be the arena itself but the build to it.
The achievement requires you to beat the 'Pride and Joy Prototype' boss, but to unlock the fight itself, you’ll need to complete a ton of prerequisites.
Firstly, finish all the Corneo Colosseum challenges found between chapters 9 and 14. Then complete 13 Shinra Combat Simulator challenges in chapter 17. This all needs to be done on hard difficulty, and that’s just getting to the damn fight.
The 14th Shinara Combat Simulator challenge is a five round arena fight, with the Pride and Joy Prototype being the final round. You’ll need to beat Shiva, Fat Chocobo, Leviathan and a Bahamut and Ifrit combo.
T h e n, after defeating those four bosses without dying, plus the Pride and Joy prototype itself, you can have your Ultimate Weapon achievement.
