Stop the fans in chapter 6

To start playing simply play through the chapter normally until all the sun lamps are disabled. At this point, the player will return to the area near the fan, but instead of continuing on the same level as usual and riding the huge cargo platform to the south, you should instead take the gondola west over to a ladder.

If Barret starts singing a song about going on an adventure to find some treasure, it's a clear sign that you're headed in the right direction. Climb the ladder, be sure not to miss the Electric de Chocobo music disc in the vending machine, and hit the nearby terminal when you're ready.

After pressing the terminal, the fan stops and a door opens next to the vending machine. The player must enter this room, defeat all the enemies in the room and reach the other end of the room to press another terminal within one minute.

This can be done as many times as needed, so there is no problem if the player fails the first time.

After completing this challenge, the door opens and the fans remain motionless, allowing the player to grapple Chocobo and Moogle summon matter and give them Cleanup Crew trophy/achievement.

This summon's Chocobo Kick and Moogle Blast attacks are capable of dealing a large area of effect damage from both close range and long range, making them a valuable summon to have by Cloud's side. In addition to that, when the summon timer runs out, a pack of Chocobo will appear and stomp opponents.
