Mastering Pull-Ups in Final Fantasy 7 Remake
In Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Chapter 14 boasts the highest number of side quests, with nine in total, making up over a third of all side quests in the game. Among them, the Wavering Heart side quest stands out as both fun and challenging, but fear not, it’s not as tough as it seems.
Summary
Initiating the Wavering Heart Quest
To kick off quest 19, head over to the gym in Wall Market. If you’ve been following side quests, you’ve likely been there during the A Dynamite Body quest in Chapter 9. If not, the gym is next to the Corneo Colosseum. Just chat with Andrea inside to start the challenge.
How Pull-Up Competition Works
Similar to the squats challenge, you’ll need to press four buttons in sequence, matching the rhythm’s speed. As you progress, the button indicators fade, so you’ll have to memorize the sequence and follow Tifa’s movements. Mess up, and Tifa falls, losing you precious time.
Beating Andrea
Fortunately, Andrea isn’t a pull-up prodigy. He’ll slip up several times, giving you a chance to pull ahead. Just ensure you’re leading by the end of the second round to secure victory. Once done, Andrea rewards you with the Way of the Fist Vol. 3 manuscript, granting Tifa a nice SP boost.
Completing Amateur and Pro Challenges
While not mandatory, completing the Amateur and Pro challenges nets you bonus items. Beat Jay for an orb of Magic Up Materia and Jules for another Champion Belt. Ronnie offers a repeatable Trainee difficulty, though it’s for practice only.
Tips for Beating Jules
Jules is no pushover, especially at higher difficulties. Occasionally, you’ll need to mash a button to stay on the bar. Pay attention to button prompts and Tifa’s movements. Turning off background music can help you focus, while mentally mapping button sequences aids memorization.
Press the first button as Tifa’s arms straighten, the second as they bend, the third as her chin clears the bar, and the final one as she descends. With practice, you’ll nail the rhythm and claim victory, earning the Champion Belt and the Peeress Of Pull-Ups trophy.
