On this page of the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intermission guide you can find a detailed walkthrough for the first story mission (First Challenge)

Yuffie appears in Midgard to meet up with Avalanche members. The first mission from Intermission DLC is a tutorial which will teach you basic movement and combat commands.

• Mark of the Moogle
• Don't Fear, Yuffie's Here
• Scrap Boulevard
• Avalanche

Mark of the Moogle

Proceed through Sector 7 Slums - Outskirts and look for Moogle Posters which will lead you to Avalanche - simply continue forward, you cannot get lost here.

Proceed forward until you reach initial enemies - a Toxirat, and then, a Gorger. You can use these encounters to study combat mechanics. Yuffie can attack from a distance by throwing shurikens, but is also viable in melee combat.

After crossing the bridge, you'll encounter first major enemy (Lesser Drake, accompanied by two Toxirats). The drake is vulnerable to Wind, so use Windstorm to depose him of his life points. After the fight, enter Abandoned Warehouse.

Approach the elevator and throw a shuriken at the lever marked in the screenshot above. You'll activate the elevator - use it to reach the upper floor of the warehouse. A fight with two lesser enemies happens here - you can use the opportunity to try out various combat mechanics you've gotten acquainted with. After the battle, leave the warehouse and continue forward.

Don't Fear, Yuffie's Here

Finally, you'll reach a chasm that cannot be crossed over. Use the ladder to reach the top of the metal tower.

Throw a shuriken at a hook to lower metal pillars to the ground. Use them to get to the other side. After completing the action, you can lower yourself down using a pipe that goes through the middle of the metal construction.

Now you have to face two more demanding opponents (Wayward Wolf). The enemies are fast, attack at the same time and deal major damage, but are vulnerable to fire, so we recommend using Fira to quickly defeat one of them. The wolf struck by the spell receives Staggered status - you can finish ihm off quickly with basic melee attacks.

Scrap Boulevard

The Scrap Boulevard area is safe, so continue to the main objective - Slums entrance. Along the way, destroy Shinra chests to have a chance of receiving additional items.

Avalanche

After entering Slums, a short cut-scene will begin. You'll meet Zhijie, who will lead you to the Avalanche hideout. Enter the building and descend to the cellar. The mission ends after a cut-scene.
