Weapons

The Reinforced Staff is an Aerith-only weapon known for its powerful magic boost. It can be found in the opening room of the 65th floor's Specimen Enclosures, hidden inside a glowing purple chest. This chest is easy to see right from the start of the chapter and gives magic-based tactics a quick boost.

Further into the complex, during the "Find the Others" objective on The Drum Level 3 (Passage C), the Twin Stinger becomes available.

After XIII helps traverse the second series of test pods and a three-wave skirmish against two Mark II Monodrives, two Unknown Entities, and a single M.O.T.H. Unit, exit the combat arena and ascend the nearby staircase. To the left, a purple chest holds this sleek, dual-wield weapon for Cloud.

Materia

Shortly after interacting with the Central Control Terminal as part of the story sequence, players will switch back to Cloud and Barret. To the left of the console—activated by pulling the required lever—a Time Materia lies on the floor.

With this valuable support, Materia enhances the party's ability to manipulate battle flow and can be snagged before continuing deeper into the lab.

Armor

Exploring The Drum Level 7 (3rd Ward – Piping System) during the second playthrough as Tifa and Aerith yield the first Force Bracelet armour piece.

After activating a lever to open a shutter, where two Zenene await, head beyond the newly opened passage to discover this defensive accessory in a nearby container.

Playing again as Cloud and Barret on The Drum Level 4 (2nd Ward – Biological Testing), proceed past the bulletproof glass that Barret automatically shatters. In the ensuing chamber, a chest on the right side contains the Astral Cuff, an armour piece that bolsters magical defence.

On The Drum Level 5 (2nd Ward – Control Deck), after enduring Hojo's second taunt from behind the reinforced glass and witnessing the subsequent cutscene, enter the next room.

Against the far-right corner, amid green-hued test tubes, lies a chest hiding the Chain Bangle, a sturdy armour option that raises physical resilience.

Unmissable Boss Drops

Certain armour items are guaranteed rewards upon defeating their respective bosses. When you beat the Swordipede Boss, you automatically get the Force Bracelet.

When you beat the Jenova Dreamweaver Boss, you automatically get the Astral Cuff. You can't miss these drops because they are essential to the story's progression.
