Final Fantasy VII Remake


Final Fantasy VII Remake Battle Intel Reports

final fantasy vii remake chadleyWhen you are running around with Tifa in Chapter 3, you will meet a Shinra Employee named Chadley. He is very interested in how you manouver in combat, and your strategies. He asks you to take the Assess Materia, and help him to gather intel on combat.
Though he is a underling of Professor Hojo, he is secretly working against Shinra. He will provide challenges for you to meet while fighting, and provide you with a reward (materia) for meeting the proper requirements.

Now right off the bat, you do not have to partake in any of Chadley's quests. BUT you will sorely regret it. Chadley's materia are some of the best in the game. On top of that, you will miss out on all but two of the Non-DLC summons available in Final Fantasy VII Remake. For folks who are saying they do not want to do side missions, and extra stuff.....Chadley is different. You get involved in a "ongoing" quest with Chadley. All you really have to do to obtain objectives is....battle. Chances are you can gain the first 4 intel and defeat Shiva before ever leaving Chapter 3. Even what has been done up to meeting Chadley is calculated into the missions. When you finish a intel requirement, you will be notified at the end of the battle, where you get your Exp and AP. Then when you meet Chadley again, everything you have done is turned in. So you do not actually have to hunt him down when you finish one.

Battle Intel Reports

Chadley appears in several different locations throughout the game. He will appear in:
Sector 7 - Chapter 3
Sector 5 - Chapter 8
Sector 6 - Chapter 9
Sector 5 & 6 Chapter 14
Shinra HQ: Recreation Area, Top Floor - Chapter 16

You can, with A LOT OF WORK, complete all of Chadley's intel missions in one play through. The most difficult to do is mastering all Magic Materia. This is mostly due to the 5000AP required to master the Revive Materia. But once you complete the first 19 missions, you will be allowed to battle Bahamut for his Summon Materia. Once you finish off Bahamut, you will unlock the Intelligence Agent trophy and be done with Chadley's battle intel missions...But that is not all Chadley has to offer. Check out the Shinra Combat Simulator for more information on what Chadley provides.
