Zack’s mission takes a charming turn as he helps Aerith build her first flower wagon-a heartfelt project hidden between battles and SOLDIER duties. This guide shows every part and upgrade needed to bring her dream cart to life and earn some of the game’s sweetest rewards.
To get the parts for the wagons, you need to get parts from completing missions and minigames. Annoyingly enough, a lot of the missions you need to clear to get these wagon parts are hidden behind NPCs.
Completing both of the extra wagons will give you the achievement “Midgar Full of Flowers.” There is no other specific reward for completing the wagons, but the missions required to get the materials will give you rewards.
Note that you have to build Aerith the extra wagons before talking to Kunsel at the end of Chapter 7. The game will note that this is a point of no return, so if you want to do this optional content, you need to do it now. We did all of this in Chapter 7, but it may be possible to unlock some of these missions and minigames before that.
Below, we list out how to make the two extra wagons for Aerith.
How to get the parts for the cute flower wagon
To build Aerith’s flower wagon, Zack needs to gather a few specific parts found through side activities in Midgar. Items like the Mythril Tools can be obtained from the Shinra Building, while the Craftsman’s Tools are rewarded after completing a particular mission chain. The Premium Tires come from the Sector 6 Slums, and you can find the instructions by helping the neighborhood kids. Collecting these pieces will allow you to assemble the wagon, letting Aerith finally sell her flowers around Midgar.
Getting the parts for the cute flower wagon is a lot more work, especially in comparison to the cool Shinra-themed wagon. You’ll need to beat several missions, and lots of them are locked behind NPCs. Luckily, all these NPCs are easy to find, as they have the orange interaction marker.
Where to get Craftsman Monthly
On Loveless Avenue, there’s a Shinra infantryman who hates Soldier and will want to challenge you to a fight (via missions). Talk to him to unlock the M1-2 mission line. Talk to him again after beating all of them (up to M1-2-6) to get the magazine.
Where to get Walnut Wood
You’ll need to catch all six Wutai spies to get Walnut Wood. You can start this side quest by talking to the Soldier in Loveless Street (a different one than the one above).
Where to get Premium Tires
In the Shinra building, head to the briefing room, where you used to talk to Director Lazard. There’s a new Soldier recruit there who isn’t doing too hot in his missions, and talking to him will unlock the M7-1 mission line. After clearing them all (up to M7-1-6), return and talk to him to get the Premium Tires.
Where to get Mythril Tools
This one is the most annoying of all, as all of the missions needed to get the tools are locked behind an NPC. You need to clear M2-1-6, but the NPC that gives this mission only appears after you clear M2-1-1 through M2-1-5. We list out where to find all the NPCs that give out these missions below.
Where to unlock M2-1-1
Talk to this man at the top of the stairs in Sector 8 to get this mission.
Where to unlock M2-1-2
There’s a woman on Loveless Avenue who will talk about monsters with the usual orange interaction symbol. Talk to her to get M2-1-2.
Where to unlock M2-1-3
Talk to the little girl in the Sector 5 Slum Market to get M2-1-3.
Where to unlock M2-1-4
Talk to this other little girl in the Sector 5 Slum Street by the entrance to the park for M2-1-4.
Where to unlock M2-1-5
Talk to the Soldier in the entrance area of the Shinra building up the stairs to get M2-1-5.
Where to unlock M2-1-6
Talk to the scientist in the Shinra building exhibition room to get M2-1-6. He will only show up if you beat all the above missions.
Once you beat M2-1-6, go back to the scientist to get the Mythril Tools.
How to get the parts for the cool flower wagon
To build Aerith’s flower wagon, you’ll need to collect specific parts found around Midgar. The items include the wagon body, the handle, the wheels, and decorations to make it look charming. You can get these components by completing side quests, helping NPCs, and exploring areas like the Sector 5 Slums Market and Shinra Building. Each version of the wagon requires different materials, so check the mission details and talk to residents who might hint where certain pieces are hidden. Bringing all the parts together will let you craft the wagon Aerith dreams of.
All of the parts of the cool flower wagon (Shinra Solder, Shinra Ceramic, Shinra Treads, and Shinra Lunch Cart Specs) are rewards for completing the squats minigame. You can do these challenges on the Soldier floor of the Shinra building by talking to the scientist with the orange interaction button in the training room. You’ll get a part of the wagon for each opponent you beat in squats.
Our hot tip is that you do not have to press the squats button during the single squat Zack does when he has his little “Oh yeah! I’m on fire now!” moment. Pressing it in time with this cutscene squat would throw off our timing for some reason, canceling his combo.
How to get parts for the Cool Flower Wagon
To get the parts for the Cool Flower Wagon in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, head to the SOLDIER Floor Training Room in Shinra Building during Chapter 7 (or earlier, from Chapter 5).
Accessing the Minigame
Enter the Training Room and talk to the researcher by the computers (marked with an orange icon). This starts the squats mini-game with four opponents you must defeat in sequence.
Required Parts
Each win rewards one part-no missions or exploration needed:
-
Shinra Ceramic: Defeat Opponent 1.
-
Shinra Treads: Defeat Opponent 2.
-
Shinra Solder: Defeat Opponent 3.
-
Shinra Lunch Cart Specs: Defeat Opponent 4 (hardest; practice timing button presses).
Building the Wagon
Return all four parts to Aerith at Sector 5 Church after the Cute Flower Wagon (delay Chapter 8 start by picking “Wait, I need a little more time!” in Kunsel’s dialogue). This completes the set for the “Midgar Full of Flowers” trophy.
How to build the Standard Flower Wagon
To build the Standard Flower Wagon in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, collect four specific parts during Chapter 7 after Aerith asks Zack for help at the Sector 5 Church.
Required Parts
-
Used Tools: Found in a glowing pile of rubble right outside the Sector 5 Church entrance (Bruno provides a hint inside).
-
Old Lumber: Interact with the broken wooden panels in the Sector 5 Slums Market corner; a merchant NPC chats afterward.
-
Worn Tires: Head up to LOVELESS Avenue (near Shinra HQ path), talk to the man standing by the light blue car.
-
How to Build a Wagon Instructions: Return outside the Sector 5 Church and inspect the glowing Shinra trooper helmet (easy to miss if overlooked earlier).
Assembly Steps
With all parts in inventory, return to Aerith inside the Church. Hand them over to trigger assembly, a test run cutscene, and story progression. This mandatory first wagon unlocks the optionals later, but complete before advancing to Nibelheim.
