Getting Stagger Damage Bonus to 200% and 300%
As players progress through Chadley’s Battle Intel Reports in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, they will eventually gain access to one called ‘The Stagger Effect Pt. 3.’ This report asks players to increase their Stagger damage bonus to 200%, and indeed, some fans may find executing this quite challenging. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to raise Stagger to 200% and complete FF7 Remake‘s ‘The Stagger Effect Pt. 3’ with just a little bit of instruction.

FF7 Remake The Stagger Effect Pt. 3: How to Get 200% Stagger Damage Bonus
To increase your Stagger damage bonus to 200% in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, players should start by selecting the Fat Chocobo from Chadley’s VR Missions. Indeed, this enemy is the perfect target for completing the Stagger Effect Pt. 3, because it takes a lot of damage and is relatively easy to Stagger. Once players enter the battle with the Fat Chocobo, they should take control of Tifa.
Now, fans can work towards staggering the Fat Chocobo, and just before the Stagger occurs, they should use Tifa’s Unbridled Strength skill to power up her unique ability. Then, once the foe is Staggered, simply use this ability repeatedly to raise the Stagger damage bonus past the standard 160%.
In no time at all, fans that use this method should find that they have increased the Stagger damage bonus to 200% and completed The Stagger Effect Pt. 3. At this point, players may have their sights set on raising the Stagger damage bonus to 300% to obtain the ‘Staggering Feat’ trophy/achievement, and, indeed, that is a bit more challenging.

Again, players should take control of Tifa in a battle against the Fat Chocobo, and they should use Unbridled Strength twice to upgrade her unique ability to Rise and Fall when the enemy’s Stagger bar is at around 50%. As soon as the Fat Chocobo is Staggered, players should immediately use Rise and Fall, Omnistrike, and Whirling Uppercut. They should then promptly execute two more Unbridled Strengths and spam Tifa’s triangle ability, refreshing Unbridled Strength when possible, to reach a 300% Stagger bonus.
If a player finds that they are killing the Fat Chocobo before they have a chance to reach a 300% Stagger damage bonus, there is the option of putting the game on a higher difficulty. Alternatively, fans can equip their party members with low-damage weapons.
