Chadley's Research is a Discovery quest in Chapter 1, "Wutai's Finest", of "Episode INTERmission" in Final Fantasy VII Remake. Yuffie Kisaragi meets Chadley, who identifies her as a suitable candidate for his Materia research. He asks her to fight Ramuh to gather data, something Yuffie obliges, as Yuffie fights Ramuh in Chadley's portable Shinra Combat Simulator.

Walkthrough[]

Though Ramuh can be fought at any time after meetiing Chadley, it is far better to fight him after beginning "The Handoff", when Sonon Kusakabe joins. Having Sonon's help will make the fight considerably easier, as though he cannot be controlled, he can both take some of Ramuh's damage and cure Yuffie. It is important to still cure Sonon, however, to keep him alive. HP Up Materia HP Up Materia and MP Up Materia MP Up Materia should be equipped on Yuffie if possessed.

Ramuh uses a variety of area-of-effect and targeted Lightning Lightning-elemental attacks that are fairly hard-hitting and can stun Yuffie, rendering her invulnerable. Most of the attacks are difficult to dodge, and should be guarded against to avoid much of the damage. Levin Arrows and Volatic Lance cannot be guarded against, but take longer to charge, meaning they should be dodged. Many of his lightning attacks linger on the battlefield; this should be avoided so as not to allow Yuffie to be stunned.

Throw should be used frequently against Ramuh, as engaging him in melee range is dangerous, and ranged attacks are the most reliable way to recover ATB. Ramuh is weak to Wind Wind, meaning Wind Ninjutsu and Windstorm should be used against him; a close-range Windstorm being a great ability to use when Ramuh teleports next to Yuffie. A simple way to deal quick damage against him is to simply guard against his attacks until Yuffie's limit break is available.

Halfway through the battle, Ramuh will use Summon Sparks, summoning three small sparks that appear on the battlefield and send energy to Ramuh. He will also use more dangerous area-of-effect attacks. Ramuh may also use Judgment Bolt if the sparks are not destroyed, against which there is no defense other than staying at full HP to survive the attack. Though many of the same strategies apply, the sparks should be focused first.

Defeating Ramuh will earn the Ramuh Materia Ramuh Materia.

Hard mode tips[]

Ramuh does not become more difficult, making the fight easier. Elemental Materia Elemental Materia can be used defensively with Lightning Materia Lightning Materia on armor, and making use of Brumal Form is very effective at dodging many of Ramuh's attacks.
