Final Fantasy 7 AP Farming And Sources: How To Get AP Up With The ...

AP Farming locations for easy AP in Final Fantasy 7 Remake

Now that you've got your AP Up Materia, you still need AP farming locations so you can take advantage of groups of mobs to quickly level up those last few Materia that aren't finished through natural progression.

We've picked out a few spots for farming throughout the campaign, but the best ones are naturally available once you beat the game by using the Chapter Selection option with your current save.

Replaying old chapters on Hard Mode using this method will level your characters and increase your AP easily in the post-game. This is by far and away the best method of levelling your Materia.

However, you may want to finish improving your Materia before the end of the game, so regardless of your position in the narrative, here's where you can farm AP if you need to finish upgrading your spells.

VR Combat Simulations

Every five battle intel reports completed will unlock a combat simulation where you face off against a new summon.

We personally found it useful to apply all of my Fire Materia and repeat the Shiva boss battle, completing it in under a minute for 30 AP. It's boring, but it works! I personally found this to be the easiest option, even with the lower amount of AP per round.

This is because you can play the battle with an absent mind, knowing that Shiva won't put up a fight. Switch your brain off and keep at it until all of your Materia is mastered!

Corneo Coliseum - Chapter 9

In the Wall Market, you will head to this combat arena as part of the story, but there are plenty of extra challenges to complete throughout the game. The 'Three-Person Team vs. Shinra Warriors' battle is tricky, but after a few rounds you'll get your completion time down to under 3 minutes and you can keep grinding it out.

The more characters in play will mean quicker upgrades for your Materia. Fire damage is your friend! You'll snag around 100-150 AP per run, which will quickly add up.

There's also Summons to unlock, most of which you get from completing Intel Battle Reports. Once you've finished the game, it's worth unlocking the remaining Final Fantasy 7 Dresses by choosing the correct options during the Johnny, Heads or Tails and Madam M massage course choices, and finding any weapon locations or Music Discs you left behind. And if you've just started, then learn what to do during the timer choice and the Lost Friends quest.

Shinra Combat Simulator - Chapter 15

Inside Shinra Headquarters you'll stumble into this combat simulator in the upper floors of the building. You'll want to keep repeating the 'Three-Person Team vs. Team Ragbag' gauntlet as the High-Flyers battle is quite annoying to finish.

With more players in the fray you'll earn more AP, amounting to roughly 150-200 AP per run.

Hojo's Combat Simulator - Chapter 17

When you finish the game, return to Chapter 17 and continue until you meet Chadley, who will unlock Hojo's personal simulator so you can complete a new set of challenges.

This simulation contains the same challenges as the Shinra Combat Simulator, but with a few extra strength tests available only in Hard difficulty.

The 'Three-Person Team vs. Monsters of Legend' is your best bet for a Level 50 team looking to grind, but be warned - it's tough as old boots. For your efforts you'll receive upwards of 250 AP per gauntlet, which will master all of your Materia in no time.
