Despite the sky literally falling in on Cloud and the gang of Chapter 14 in Final Fantasy 7 Remakeit turns out they still have time to enter a pull-up competition. 'Wavering Heart' is one of nine side quests in Chapter 14, and you must beat the flamboyant owner of the Honeybee Inn in the Wall Market to complete it.
This side quest is similar to 'Burning Thighs', the crouching challenge you may have undertaken in Chapter 9, 'The Town That Never Sleeps'. However, this one is a bit more complicated than that in a few ways and can be quite tough if you want to claim all the available rewards from it. If that's you, how to complete “Wavering Heart” in Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

How to beat the Wavering Heart Side Quest in Final Fantasy 7 Remake
This side quest starts in the same place you might have completed 'Burning Thighs': Wall Market gym. If you haven't been there yet, it's next to the entrance to the Corneo Colosseum.
In terms of how the minigame works, it's similar to the squat challenge, but a bit more mechanically complicated. Simply put, the main goal is to complete more pull-ups than your challengerwhich is Andrea in the first place. Each match is divided into two sets of 30 seconds, but you must have the most pull-ups completed in total.
Here are the most important things to know about the competition:
-
You have to match the repeated prompts on the screen, though the order is random and changes after each 30-second setor halfway.
-
Eventually the prompt on the screen fades, so you have to remember the order of four buttons while keeping the rhythm.
-
The pace will eventually pick up, so your rhythm must be adjusted accordingly.
- If your inputs are too slow or too fast, your fatigue will build up faster and increase the chance of Tifa fallingwhich costs you precious time. If your timing is wrong, the prompts will reappear as Tifa gets back to her feet, showing you how far off you were.
On higher difficulties, you have to hammer a certain button to keep Tifa's grip on the bar. At this point, the on-screen prompts will reappear, with the button you need to press repeatedly highlighted in gold. A gold circle shows how long you need to hammer the button.
You only need to beat Andrea for the mission to be ticked off, which is pretty easy, as he often falls during your 60 second total pull-up time. Around 13 reps should be enough to defeat him. Once you've done that, you'll get Way of the Fist Vol. III and ten SP for Tifa.
But when you finish your efforts, there are some decent rewards on the table, and the “Peeress of Pull-Ups” trophy, if you're on PlayStation. If you beat Jay in the round after Andrea you get Magic Up Materiaand one Champion belt to defeat Jules, giving the bearer 10% HP and 5% Strength.
