Desert Island Surprises is a mission from Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core. For a complete list, visit Missions (FFVII:CC).

Introduction

On a tropical island, we discovered a monster that drops items which are useable in materia fusion. We need more details on both the monster and the items. Head for the island, take down the monster, and grab the items.

Enemies

• Dorky Face
• King Scarab
• Pachyornis (boss battle)

Chests

• Bronze Armlet (center)
• Hi-Potion (east)
• MAG Up+ (east)

Strategy

From the starting point, follow the path to the first chest. Continue on until you see the boss, but don't engage it! Instead, creep along the eastern wall past the boss and continue along the path for two more chests. Then, return to the boss. Equip an item to protect again the Stun attack of the Pachyornis or this battle will be extremely difficult. Focus on one enemy at a time using regular critical attacks or Firaga. If you decide to attack the Pachyornis from behind, be aware that it can kick you while you're back there. Make sure to stay healed as well. Once one of these foes goes down, it makes the battle much easier.
