With an adaptive storyline, there are trophies that players can collect, such as Crisis Core Reunion Precise Restoration. However, getting it can be a little tough, so players might need assistance with achieving it. The game is an enthralling prequel to its original storyline, which most players had played in their childhood. Thus, a re-mastered version would bring the child back out again as adult.
- The Precise Restoration is a trophy that players are able to get their hands on alongside many others that they can encounter during their game playthrough.
- The trophy is achieved when players have progressed through the main story, chapters 1,2 and 3, and then get to a semi-mid point of chapter 4.
- The trophy itself is quite missable, and it can be very easy to skip past the objective and continue with the main quest.
- The best way to get the trophy is by completing the objective the machine asks you to do.
- The main benefit of getting the trophy will simply be that you can add one more to your collection.
Pre-Requisites
Before we get started, there is one thing that players should keep in mind: to get their hands on the trophy, players will have to have progressed through the main story quite a bit, and they will have to cross at least chapter 3.
The trophy itself will not be easily achievable, and quite literally, there is a chance that players might end up missing it completely if they are not careful when they are playing the game. The trophy will be up for grabs while you’re doing chapter 4.
There comes a point during chapter four where players will be protecting Professor Hojo, and this is the main part where players can get their hands on the trophy. There will also come a point where players can interact with a few of Hojo’s machines.
Don’t Interact With Professor Hojo
Now, if you make the mistake of interacting with Hojo before you get a chance to interact with the machines in the room, you end up losing your chance of getting the trophy itself.
- The main reason for that is simply because instead of allowing you to interact with the machines later, it will simply progress with the storyline, and you will continue with the main quest, and you basically have to either restart the game with a fresh start if you want to get the trophy again, or you can simply say goodbye to the idea of it.
There will be one or two other machines that you wouldn’t want to miss out on either, so make sure to simply not interact with Professor Hojo.
Starting Out
When you first start, you will be in an incredibly futuristic room. The entire room will be colored top to bottom in a grayish-blue tone, and machinery will surround and be scattered all across the room.
Room’s Appearance

On the floor, there will be a few grates that will run all around the machinery, and there will be a yellow line that will indicate that people are not allowed to go across the floor beyond a certain limit and are not allowed to touch the machinery.
- The yellow and black lines will be painted on the floor and will be surrounded by the main machinery that will be standing tall towards the left end of the room. The line itself will be painted in a hexagon shape.
From the place that you are standing, the tall machinery will be to your left, while the machinery that offers trophies will be present towards your right side.
If you look behind you, players will be able to see a CR-02 written on what seems to be a glass window, which makes it seem like it is either an important room or machinery that will be important later on in the story.
Professor Hojo

Now that you have taken a look at the room if you look behind you once again, players will be able to see Professor Hojo himself standing quite a bit far away from you. He will be standing a few feet in front of the CR-02 machine that we mentioned before.
Alongside that, it also seems like he will have quest markers that will be a blue square with an exclamation mark in the middle of it, which will indicate that the payer should interact next with him.
- This is what the players want to stay away from for now. The second you head over to Professor Hojo and talk to him, you lose the chance to interact with the machines; therefore, until you are done investigating the machines, leave that quest marker.
Heading Towards The Machine

From your current position, turn and run toward Professor Hojo, standing by the balcony edge overlooking the glass-covered machine. A mint-green light illuminates his work.
Across from Hojo, a large box sits to his left, lit with a light red glow and adorned with four symbol squares.
About a foot to the left of the box, there’s a recognizable giant machine with two lit blue-green monitors – one horizontal and one vertical, directly below the horizontal one.
Approach the machine and step onto the provided platform. Next to it, there’s a yellow X marker inside a yellow circle, which you can interact with.
You’ll gain automatic access to the machine upon interacting with the marker.
Starting The Objective

Upon interacting with the machine, a brief cutscene triggers, allowing players to access the platform.
A blue box appears, labeled “Mako Recovery Unit Prototype.” Subheadings include “Auto Termination,” “Under Maintenance,” and “Manual Termination,” indicating a malfunction.
Crucially, it’s advised to save the game at this point to avoid repetition if the objective proves challenging.
Following the first blue box, a second one appears, mentioning a malfunction in the machine’s operation. The issue affects the termination countdown.
Instead of a normal countdown, players won’t see “2, 1, and 0” seconds after it reaches 3 seconds, hampering objective progress.
The countdown continues while the machine advises against operation due to possible hazards.
Upon interacting again, players face a question: “Throw the switch?” Two options are presented:
- “Of course, I will!”
- “No, I really shouldn’t.”
Players seeking the “Crisis Core Reunion Precise Restoration” trophy should choose the first option. Those who don’t wish to pursue the trophy can select the second option and walk away.
The Main Objective

Now, when it comes to the device’s actual objective after you choose the option to throw the switch, another blue popup message will show up and be placed towards the left of your screen. The screen will be instructions that the player needs to follow to proceed with the objective.
- The objective will start by telling the player that they need first to activate the device, and when they do so, the payers will have to wait for a total of 5 seconds, after which you will be able to go ahead and deactivate it, which will e needed to restore SP, and the amount of SP that will be restored will fully depend on the timing of the countdown that you carry out.
- The device will then tell you that, unfortunately, due to the malfunction, the countdown timer won’t operate as it is supposed to. The display will end up turning off during the countdown is active.
If the player decides to proceed with the objective but ends up being too slow to complete the deactivation process, any extra mako created will be dangerous to the player’s overall health. Players, therefore *need* to deactivate it in exactly five seconds.
Doing The Objective

Now, to carry out the objective, players will first interact with the appropriate buttons again, which will be to press X on PS, or if you’re playing on XBOX, then players will need to press A.
The main objective here is to time the countdown perfectly and then click the button when the countdown ends up reaching 0. The thing is, though, since the countdown timer has been malfunctioning, the number 0 will not actually be displayed on the screen, which makes this a little bit tougher on the players.
So the way that this entire thing will work is that it will display the countdown timer as 5 seconds, 4, then 3, but then the 2, 1, and 0 will not be displayed. Therefore the player will have to keep count in their mind and make sure not to delay a second too long, or it can end up benign hazardous, and you basically fail the objective.
- After the blue bar disappears, there will be another popup that will say “system activated”, indicating that the objective has started. After that, it will say begin a countdown, and this is where you need to keep count.
- So, the 5 appears, then 4, and then 3, and while the 5, 4, and 3 are appearing, payers should automatically be counting these seconds in their minds too.

Once you mentally reach 0, go ahead and press the button, and you will see your character interact with the machine. and if you successfully complete it, a popup will show up that will display the words “100% of mako delivery completed, Subject’s SP will be recovered”. You will then see the message that the SP has been replenished. And after that occurs, the Crisis Core Reunion Precise Restoration trophy will appear on the top right of the screen.
Leading Up Quests
Now, before players are able to even get to the part where they can get their hands on the trophy, there will be a total of 4 chapters that players will need to playthrough to get to the middle of the fourth chapter where the trophy can be retrieved.
Prologue Quest
Whenever payers start off with the game, you will instantly be told to get through the objective, which will say “defeat the sentries,” which will basically introduce players to how the in-game combats will work, and you will have to defeat the enemies in order to progress further.
After that, players will then be introduced to another boss that will have to get rid of, and this is where the next objective will pop up, which will tell players to “fight Behemoth,” and the boss itself will have the following stats:
- 7870 HP
- 122 MP
- 16 SP
Chapter One
Now, when you make your way over to chapter one, the objectives will definitely get a bit on the harder end since the game has officially started. The first objective the players will be presented with will simply be that you will have to read the tutorial emails.
- After that, the next objective that players will be able to get will be that they will have to examine the mission boards, after which they will then be further prompted to get through the basic combat mission successfully without failing it.
- Another objective that you will get will be that you will need to discover the supply pod, after which players will be able to equip a bronze bangle, and after which you will have to speak to Angeal. After that, you will have to head towards MT Tamblin and then further climb up it while Angeal will be alongside you.
- The fort that is present on the mountain will need to be stored, from where you will then have to defeat both Vajradhara Tai as well as Vajradhara Wu. once you do so, payers should expect to face a few more opponents that they will have to face, and then you will have to defeat Ifrit.
Chapter Two
When you complete chapter one and start chapter two, the following objectives can be expected:
- Players will first be expected to make their way over to sector 8, after which they will have to get back to the briefing room, where they will then have to meet up with Tseng.
- After the meeting is done, players will then need to head over to the Banora Village, after which they will be told to search it through and through so that they are able to get their hands on some valuable info about Angeal.
- From there, you need to regroup again with Tseng, after which you can get into a factory, from where you will then need to head back to the place where Angeal lives with a timer that you will need to complete the objective within. Bahamut will appear, and it will need to be defeated before players can get out of Banora Village.
Chapter Three
Moving on, chapter three will definitely be a lot longer, but the objectives that will be presented ot players will be as follows in the Shinra Building.
- Players will need to explore a lot of the Shinra’s Soldier floors area, after which they will then have to go towards the director’s room. After that, there will be a few opponents that you will have to defeat that will want to take over the Shinra building.
- There will come the point where you will also need to defeat G Eraser, and then you will need to meet Sephiroth, who will be in the Mako reactor five areas.
When you make your way over to the Mako reactor five where there will be even more objectives to do:
- Get rid of the A-sahagin that you will be able to encounter, and then there will be a lot of exploration, and you will then need to search the area for any possible clues. Chase Hollander and then get rid of the Shot, Pile as well as cutter machine.
As for chapter four, players will have to get through the objectives in the sector 5 area, then the sector 0 area inevitably, until they can protect Professor Hojo.
