DG Commander 2nd Promotion Exam 《★★★★★》

Promotion exam to DG Commander 2nd. To run around the battle field and sweep away multiple enemies, strong physical strength and mental power are necessary. Collect the specified number of Mako Capsules within the time limit.

Implemented	March 24

Map	Plateau
Maximum Participants	1
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Collect 7 Mako Capsules
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer a KO / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	Promoted to DG Commander 2nd Class

DG Commander 1st Promotion Exam 《★★★★★》

Promotion exam to DG Commander 1st. In order to assault defended enemy territory, it is necessary to prepare a suitable amount of resistance. Destroy the enemy base within the time limit and enter that area.

Implemented	April 20
How to Unlock	Reach 46000 Ranking Points [Between 4405-5385 RP from September 7]
Map	Battlefield Ruins
Maximum Participants	1
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Destroy & Invade Enemy Base
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer a KO / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	Promoted to DG Commander 1st Class
Time Limit	12 Minutes

FFSG writes that the time limit was 5 minutes. After having seen Cloze’s recording, where we see that the time limit is 12 minutes and Cloze clears the mission with just less than 4 minutes to spare, it appears highly unlikely that player was ever constrained to only 5 minutes.

DG General 3rd Promotion Exam 《★★★★★★》

Promotion exam to DG General 3rd. When facing enemies with powerful weapons, it is necessary to make maximum use of terrain and mobility. Eliminate all obstacles quickly and focus on destroying your target.

Implemented	May 19 [probably]
How to Unlock	Reach 52000 Ranking Points [Between 4405-5385 RP from September 7]
Map	Warehouse
Maximum Participants	1
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Defeat 3 Heavy Armored Soldiers
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer a KO / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	Promoted to DG General 3rd Class
Time Limit	5 Minutes

The official PlayOnline reports omit any mention of when the DG General 3rd Promotion Exam was added. When all the pieces are put together it seems the most likely that the mission was added on May 19.

In this hectic exam you had to defeat two Heavy Armored Soldier B (bazooka) and one Heavy Armored Soldier S (sword).

Fifth Ring Battle 《★★★》

Five different rings have been set up. Battle characteristics are different depending on the ring. Each ring may be occupied by either several people or just one person. Defeat 100 enemies promptly.

Implemented	February 27
Map	Major Fault
Maximum Participants	5
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Defeat 100 Enemies
Conditions for Defeat	Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+50 Ranking Points
Time Limit	10 Minutes

The player would spawn in a random ring and then upon a KO would respawn randomly in another ring (or the same one). Enemies that were battled were Sahagin, DG Sniper, DG Soldier and Heavy Armored Soldier S.

According to the DCFFVII Wiki, at some point a KO limit was added to the mission. This posed a problem as players would want to get KO’d so they could spawn in another ring, but accumulating KOs would lead to a failed mission. As of May 31 the KO limit was apparently removed. May 31 does not coincide with any major version update but it’s not impossible that minor changes like these did occur inbetween bigger updates.

Labyrinth Mansion 《★★★★★》

The advance party collecting Mako Capsules in the mansion by the outskirts of town have gone missing. Collect all Mako Capsules in their place. As the mansion is big, dividing up the search between multiple people is recommended.

Implemented	March 24
Map	Shinra Manor
Maximum Participants	6
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Collect 7 Mako Capsules
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer 3 KOs / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+50 Ranking Points
Time Limit	7 Minutes

Labyrinth Mansion marked the first time, outside of the Tutorial Mode where you play as Turk Vincent, where the Cyber Turks (or “Turks Training Robots”) appeared in the online mode. The players spawned near the entrance to the Shinra Manor and the beginning of the stage was a good place to find Limit Breakers, Ethers and Phoenix Down.

Mako Capsule locations:
– G-2, E-4, I-7, G-9, F-10, I-12 and J-11.

Break Into the Fortified Facility 《★★★★》

Even a seemingly impenetrable fortress is bound to have some point of entry. I expect that at least one one of you will reach the center of the facility and complete the mission. Destroy and invade the base within the time limit.

Implemented	March 24
Map	Warehouse
Maximum Participants	3
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Destroy & Invade the Enemy Base
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer 3 KOs / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+40 Ranking Points
Time Limit	5 Minutes

THE ☆ Heavy Powders 《★★★》

The Banish Materia is currently used by another squad and can not be employed. We will loan you another weapon instead. Although it is still a prototype, its fire power is guaranteed. Wipe the smile off Iruka’s face.

Implemented	May 19
Map	Kalm Streets
Maximum Participants	3
Initial Supplies	400 RB
Mission Objective	Defeat 40 Enemies
Conditions for Defeat	Allies Annihilated (1 respawn) / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+25 Ranking Points
Time Limit	10 Minutes
Prohibited	Custom Weapons

The player was supposedly forced to wield rifles in this MS but the exact type of rifles have not been documented.

“THE ☆ Heavy Powders” is the first of five missions to use a star symbol inside its name. The significance of this is unknown.

Scrap ☆ Blues 《★★》

It seems that the junk dumped out in the jungle has gone active again. Feel free to destroy them if they go rampant and attack. Investigate the cause!

Implemented	May 19
Map	Jungle
Maximum Participants	3
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Defeat 48 Enemies
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer 3 KOs / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+20 Ranking Points
Time Limit	5 Minutes

While defeating foes an enemy would eventually drop the “Old-Type Mako Storage Battery” quest item. This item was passed on to DGG Cataract to unlock the upcoming mission, Metal ☆ Sentry.

Metal ☆ Sentry 《★★★★》

There’s been a report of a suspicious intruder witnessed by the scout at the processing plant. It seems that the enemy is also keeping watch in the processing plant. We can’t let the criminal escape. Sneak in covertly and kill that scrap thief!

Implemented	May 19
Map	Processing Plant
Maximum Participants	1
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Defeat 3 Targets
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer a KO / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+30 Ranking Points
Time Limit	7 Minutes
Prohibited	Magic

Empty ☆ Doll 《★★★★★》

This is because his behaviour is dangerous and a clear violation of our protocol. I expect this to be treated as a sanction mission even in the after report. If you kill him, the truth behind all incidents will become clear.

Implemented	May 19
Map	Shinra Manor
Maximum Participants	1
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Defeat ???
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer a KO / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	Eden’s Notes
Time Limit	10 Minutes

“Defeat ???” represents a single target that had to be defeated by the end of the mission.

The purpose of Eden’s Notes is unknown but it was likely a quest item to help advance through the story.

The sixth memory capsule was found at the very start of this MS. Turning back from the starting point and destroying a box located on the other side of the electromagnetic barricade revealed the memory capsule at I-14.

Destroying the capsule unlocked Scene 6 “At the Foot of Darkness” to the Event Viewer.

Iron ☆ Soul 《★★★★★》

Narrator: DGG Iruka

Heheh, and here I thought that they would make good servants. Alas, they proved to be rather stubborn machines. Well, letting them become any more independent might prove problematic. No, let us set them free instead. Heheh…

Implemented	May 19
Map	Jungle
Maximum Participants	3
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Defeat 75 Enemies
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer 6 KOs / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+50 Ranking Points
Time Limit	10 Minutes

The “servants” are all referred to as female here. In the two other missions where servants are mentioned, “Miraculous Servant” and “Quick to Achieve Eager Rewards”, no gender is assigned.

Defeating the Twin Sentry at the very start was important so that its turret fire wouldn’t bother you throughout the challenge.

When the mission was approaching its end a soldier with a familiar name would appear on the battlefield: DGSC Hiren! In our only existing screenshot from this MS, we see Hiren standing over the body of the defeated player character.

If you defeated Hiren, she would drop the “Nouvelle Mask”. Nouvelle is French for “New” and the mask’s design is in fact the standard female DG soldier mask seen in the single player campaign. When talking to Hiren after acquiring her mask she would be quite angry with the player character.

Perverted Feast 《★★》

Narrator: DGD Soar

Truly! How truly awesoooooome! To meet up with so many like-minded people! Regulars and newcomers alike will sweat it out as we strengthen our unity! First of all, we’ll greet the newcomers! Take the black clothed guys and give those that look well-off a warm greeting!

Implemented	May 19
Map	In Front of Mako Reactor
Maximum Participants	1
Initial Supplies	300 HB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Defeat 3 CP631 Enemies
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer a KO / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+20 Ranking Points
Time Limit	5 Minutes
Prohibited	Magic / Melee / Custom Weapons

In this mission the Cyber Turks received the name “CP631” and three of them had to be defeated.

Yet again you were fixed to the Broken Handgun + Broken Barrel in a mission assigned by DGD Soar. Despite the low power of these weapons it was still easy enough to trigger exploding drum cans, so making use of these explosives was recommended for dealing good damage to your foes.

Mine Mind 《★★★》

Narrator: DGT Emily

A master’s disciple should be well-taught, right? How about handling S-Mines? First of all, we’ll do a quick trial. I will not admit you unless you pass easily! Gooooooo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!

Implemented	June 26
Map	Warehouse
Maximum Participants	1
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Defeat 30 Red Saucers
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer a KO / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+30 Ranking Points
Time Limit	5 Minutes
Prohibited	Custom Weapons

S-Mines and magic were recommended ways of defeating the Red Saucers. Cargo boxes offered protection until they were destroyed by the electricity from the saucers.

DGT Emily was a disciple of DGT Kon, an explosions expert. In this and following missions Emily tried to pass on her knowledge to the player by putting them through tests related to Grenades and S-Mines.

Bunker Bombing Strategy 《★★★》

Narrator: DGT Emily

Blow up 3 forts within the time limit. Oh, I remember. When the enemy had besieged us and all our allies were at their wit’s end, my master would always single handedly charge their forts and destroy them. He’d be reproached for it, though. But because of that the flow of the battle would change and we’d win!

Implemented	June 26
Map	Plateau
Maximum Participants	1
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Defeat 3 Twin Sentries
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer a KO / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+30 Ranking Points
Time Limit	5 Minutes

Throwing grenades at each Twin Sentry from safe spots was one recommended strategy, as the grenades caused way more damage than gunfire and could even defeat a Twin Sentry in a single hit.

The seventh memory capsule was found on the roof at G-7, easily seen and sniped from the roof at H-5.

Destroying the capsule unlocked Scene 7 “Real Yet Fake” to the Event Viewer.

At the Verge of Death 《★★★》

Narrator: DGT Emily

The pursuit corps’ point of entry is near B-8. The time before they invade is about 90 seconds. We’ll predict our enemies’ path and plant S-Mines effectively. Taking down an enemy by surprise…… It’s something only the master’s disciple could figure out, don’t you think? Ohohohoh!

Implemented	June 26
Map	In Front of Mako Reactor
Maximum Participants	1
Initial Supplies	12 HB
Mission Objective	Defeat 15 Enemies
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer a KO / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+40 Ranking Points
Time Limit	8 Minutes

If you know what you were doing and planted your S-Mines accordingly, the mission could be ended quickly.

Machine Fortress 《★★★★》

Narrator: DGT Emily

Alright! Now take down the big fortress protected by those forts! The base within the fortress is is guarded by mechanical guards. We’ll open up an escape route with our bombs and shoot our way through! For a disciple of the master this style is fundamental, isn’t it?

Implemented	June 26
Map	Desert
Maximum Participants	3
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Destroy & Invade the Enemy Base
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer 1 KO / Exceed Time Limit

The SOLDIER Class Robots in this mission were normally only encountered in the Tutorial Mode where you play as Turk Vincent.

Bombomb Group! 《★★★》

Narrator: DGT Emily

Ohhohoh! This lesson is an Emily original! I don’t know if it’ll teach you anything, but you should try it out!

Implemented	June 26
Map	Laboratory

The End of the Riot 《★★★★★》

The soldiers who were recovering the Mako Capsules suddenly started trembling with fear as they were getting attacked as soon as they came close. I do not know why they were, but collect all of the capsules either way. If it seems like a riot is about to break out, feel free to suppress it!

Implemented	June 26
Map	Bridge
Maximum Participants	1
Initial Supplies	135 HB, 60 RB, 270 MB
Mission Objective	Collect 7 Mako Capsules
Conditions for Defeat	Suffer a KO / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	+40 Ranking Points
Time Limit	15 Minutes

The game teased you with Rosso the Crimson in the distance before the actual battle against her in the MS “Malevolent Crimson God”, which was also added on June 26.

Details are unknown if the player in any way could defeat or stun Rosso from afar and how much of an obstacle she was for the player collecting all the Mako Capsules.

Cerulean Awakening 《★★★★★★》

Soldiers who earned a good grade fighting Azul the Cerulean. You will be allowed to fight his true form.

Implemented	April 7
Map	Kalm Streets
Maximum Participants	10
Initial Supplies	36 HB, 18 RB, 60 MB
Mission Objective	Defeat Arch Azul
Conditions for Defeat	Allies Annihilated (1 respawn) / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	“Emblem of the Blue Beast” medal
Time Limit	4 Minutes

Using the “Cerulean Bullet” gained by defeating humanoid Azul you could set up a battle table against Arch Azul.

The premise of fighting Arch Azul in this particular area was re-used for Extra Mission #31, “Cait Versus the Bull”.

Naturally Arch Azul was significantly powered down in order for our feline fortune-telling machine to have a chance against this behemoth-like creature.

Black · Wing · Mock · Battle 《★★★★★★》

On Restrictors’ direct orders, we have prepared a program for a mock battle with the Sable. You should train so that you’ll be able to deal with him going rampant at any time. If you can not be useful, you will be disposed of!

Implemented	April 20
Map	Warehouse
Maximum Participants	3
Initial Supplies	72 HB, 40 RB, 150 MB.
Mission Objective	Defeat Nero
Conditions for Defeat	Allies Annihilated (2 respawns) / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	“Emblem of the Black Wings” medal
Time Limit	5 Minutes
Pay to have cleared	42000 Gil

With the story having established that Nero is locked up at this point (Scene 6 “At the Foot of Darkness”) it makes sense to have this battle be a simulation of Nero rather than the real thing.

Limit Breakers spawned regularly in the center of the map. Making sure that allies divided attention between Nero and the hounds summoned from his darkness was a key cooperation strategy.

New Weapon Field Test 《★★★★★★》

This is a combat test with a new weapon. What I want is action data from the battle, but if this does not give a good result, we will attempt incorporating a human brain into the main AI! First, try fighting.

Implemented	May 19
Map	Laboratory
Maximum Participants	5
Initial Supplies	72 HB, 40 RB, 150 MB
Mission Objective	Defeat 2 Black Widows
Conditions for Defeat	Allies Annihilated (1 respawn) / Exceed Time Limit
Reward	“Mech Limited Mid-Sized 2-Type” medal
Time Limit	5 Minutes

The mission description appears to foreshadow what would happen on June 5: DGSC Jingi would have half his brain taken out and inserted into a Black Widow, turning him/this robot into “Black-J”. The other half of his brain was, apparently, placed inside a moogle doll.

Michui’s blog and the DCFFVII Wiki list that you only had 1 respawn. FFSG claims you had 2 respawns.

The weak point of a Black Widow was its belly, just like in the single player. In this mission it was possible to reach the weak point by squatting close to the Black Widow and shooting it from that low angle.
