Rules

To access the minigame, you need to reach a console in Level B14 of Advanced Weaponry (Maintenance). There are two challenges present:

1. Basic: to get all rewards, you need to amass 20 000 points during a single try;
2. SOLDIER:. to get all rewards, you need to amass 50 000 points during a single try.

In Shinra Box Buster, you receive points for destroying boxes, which have their vulnerabilities and resistances, so it pays off to know what techniques to use when it comes to individual boxes.

1. Orange boxes: worth 100 points each, vulnerable to physical attacks;
2. Purple boxes: worth 200 each, vulnerable to Ninjutsu attacks. Use shurikens on them (Triangle) and continue attacking (Square);
3. White metal boxes: worth 1 500 each. More durable, but can be easily broken with a few melee attacks (Square) and Art of War;
4. Red boxes:. special boxes that increase the time limit by 10 seconds and are vulnerable to all attacks.
