Trying to clean up all the trophies in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and realized there’s one for defeating Sephiroth in 3D Brawler? Well, you probably also noticed that he’s not an available fighter, and that’s because there are a few things you have to do before you’ll be able to fight him. We’re here to help with the MP1st Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth How to Unlock Sephiroth in 3D Brawler guide!
Some spoiler warning if you aren’t far in Chapter 12.
How to Unlock Sephiroth in 3D Brawler in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth:
First and foremost, you’ll need to be on Chapter 12. Despite the 3D Brawler mini-game being accessible in earlier chapters, you won’t be able to unlock Sephiroth until later in the game, that being in Chapter 12. Chapter 12 marks the return to the Gold Saucer, which also happens to be the chapter where you get to go on a date with one of the other characters (more on that here).
But storywise, and specifically to unlocking Sephiroth in 3D Brawler, you’ll need to progress in a few things. The first is the chapter itself; you’ll want to continue with the main story, go through the date, meet up with Dio, and defeat the Turks. Once you’ve done the big story portion, you’ll gain access to some new stuff in the Gold Saucer. It’s at this point that you’ll need to be in the story, as this is basically the last time you’ll be able to wander freely around the world. This is also the point in the story where everything else in the game can be unlocked, which comes to the next part you’ll need to do.
You’re going to want to start completing all the side missions in the Coral Region. In total, there are nine, though you’ll only have access to a limited few. Once you’ve cleared enough, more will begin unlocking. It’s side-mission 9, dubbed “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop,” that you’ll eventually unlock, which takes you back to the Gold Saucer to meet up with a certain middle manager you meet in the game a few chapters back.
Complete the quest, and afterward, you’ll get a Gambler Materia and access to a new 3D Brawler fighter, Sephiroth. Be ready, though, as he is a very hard fight. Luckily, we have a guide offering tips on how to beat him!
That’s it; that’s how you unlock Sephiroth in 3D Brawerl!
