A New Threat and Escape are quests in Chapter 2, "Covert Ops", of "Episode INTERmission" in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. Yuffie Kisaragi and Sonon Kusakabe destroy Scarlet's new mech weapon in the Shinra Building and apprehend her, but she reveals that their ultimate materia that they sought is still incomplete. Sonon runs off to investigate trouble that appears elsewhere. With Sonon under threat, Scarlet ominously suggests Yuffie check on him, refusing to disclose more.

Walkthrough[]

After the cutscene, rejoin Sonon and fight a battle against Deepground SOLDIERs. These are more powerful enemies that are capable of phasing in and out at times. Windstorm and Synergized Windstorm can be effective when they are available, and attacking them in melee range is dangerous since they can wrestle Yuffie to the ground. After defeating the first three, a cutscene commences, following which Yuffie and Sonon end up in the Combat Simulator Prototype chamber.

In the chamber, use the bench. For the incoming battles, most enemies fought are weak to Ice Ice and resist Fire Fire or Lightning Lightning, so Ice Materia Ice Materia and Magnify Materia Magnify Materia is ideal. Activating the device to attempt to open the door commences a cutscene, followed by a battle against Unknown Entity enemies, which are durable and agile enemies dangerous in melee combat that should be fought with Throw. Following these are zenenes, which similarly are dangerous in melee range especially due to their Throat Clamp. Synergized Art of War can deal heavy damage to them. After the zenenes, riot troopers and an elite grenadier are fought, which are straightforward enemies that can be dispatched with normal attacks.

Following the riot troopers, the simulator's projector, a more powerful enemy comes in the form of the Diabolic Creation, which is a durable enemy weak to ice. This enemy can phase in and out of battle, and can use Ensnare to trap a character and deal heavy damage. This, and its Firaga attack, should be dodged, and its right arm should be crippled to weaken it (it is immune to magic damage), rendering it vulnerable to a Synergized Art of War. Once it is defeated, the projector becomes vulnerable, and should be damaged as much as possible. After it deploys its shield again, another Diabolic Creation appears, against which the same tactics apply. Repeat until the projector is destroyed.

Once the projector is destroyed, use the bench and leave the chamber, commencing "Dread".

Hard mode tips[]

The same strategies apply as before, though it is crucial to conserve MP and cast spells as little as possible for the final battle. Defeating the Diabolic Creation grants 10 SP books to both Yuffie and Sonon.
