The Mako Recovery Unit, or Healing Device, is a prototype machine found at the Fusion Chamber next to Professor Hojo. You will come across the machine during Chapter 4 of Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion story mode. Once you reach the point where you have to protect Professor Hojo, you will find yourself in a huge lab with multiple interactable machines.

Even though the game will lead you to talk to Professor Hojo at this point of the game, however, you need to ignore the main storyline for a while if you want to use the Mako Recovery Unit to earn some SP and the Precise Restoration trophy.

You can find the Mako Recovery Unit on the left of Professor Hojo. Through the Mako Recovery Unit, you can gain up to 100 SP. However, the Mako Recovery Unit is malfunctioning because the machine’s timer doesn’t properly display itself. Hence, you will need to pay close attention and mentally follow the countdown timer to use the device properly.

When you interact with the Mako Recovery Unit, the game will show you a prompt message which reads, “A malfunction has been detected where the manual termination countdown display shuts off during countdown. Due to possible hazards, we ask that you refrain from operating the switch.”

The game will then ask you whether you want to “Throw the Switch“, to which you should respond by picking the option which reads “Of course, I will“. Now that you have initiated the challenge, it is time you learn how you can operate the Mako Recovery Unit successfully and earn the Precise Restoration trophy.

Once you start the challenge, you will get a briefing on how you can use the Mako power recovery device. As per the game’s instruction, a 5-second countdown timer will kick off once you activate the machine. When the countdown reaches 0, you have to deactivate the Mako Recovery Unit before the machine completely breaks down. However, midway through the countdown, the numbers on display will turn off and make it harder for you to precisely deactivate the unit.

In order to get the Precise Restoration Trophy, you will need to stop the unit when the countdown hits 0 perfectly. If you deactivate the unit after the countdown finishes, you will lose health and earn only 50-60 SP, depending on how late you were. Similarly, deactivating the machine too early will also yield less SP.

The only way to get 100 SP and the Precise Restoration Trophy is to time the machine’s deactivation perfectly.

So to wrap things up, you need to deactivate the machine when the counter reaches 0. You will be able to see the counter on your screen, which starts at 5. However, when it reaches 3, the counter will malfunction and halt its display. At this point, you will need to mentally countdown at the same pace and as per your assumption, deactivate the machine at the perfect time to restore SP.

If you successfully turn the Mako Recovery Device off at the right time, you will gain the Precise Restoration trophy in Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion.

What Is SP?

Soldier Points, also known as SP, are a crucial part of Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion, especially for its combat system. SP actually shows the total Mako the player has inside their body. Through these, they can use multiple special abilities, like summoning using the Magic Pot, during battles.

When you enter a battle in the game, your SP will start getting frequently used by the DMW wheel. Through this casino-like wheel, you will have a chance to get a special ability, buff, or summons at the cost of some of your SP.

Hence, having a higher SP can aid you greatly in the combat mode of Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion. On top of all that, to use the Materia Fusion system, you will be required to use your SP. Therefore, having more and more SP will allow you to have a stronger Matera in Crisis Core FFVII Reunion.
