As you progress and explore in , you'll stumble upon numerous side quests, encounter new characters, and uncover engaging mini-games that may divert your attention from your primary goal of pursuing Sephiroth. Amidst the diverse regions and locations🌼 in the game, your party will pause for a brief respite upon reaching Costa del Sol.

On thi🍨s resort island, you'll encounter familiar characters from the Remake, including Jules. After you meet him, Jules will ask fo♋r your assistance with something, and you'll need to visit him at his favorite location, the gym of course.

How To Begin Bodybuilders In A Bind

Among the side quests available in Costa del Sol is Bodybuilders in a Bind. However, to access this quest, you first need to complete a previous one called Rendezvous in Costa del Sol. Toward the end of the Rendezvous quest, you'll have a brief conversation with Jules, who will then invite you to visit his gym.

Afterward, you'll be able to pick up the Bodybuilders In A Bind quest from the Community Board of Costa del Sol and start your adventure.

Where To Find All The Fiends

Once you've accepted the quest, make your way to Jules' gym located to the west of Costa del Sol. Have a conversation with him, during which he'll explain that he needs your help dealing with nearby monsters that are causing trouble.

Within the designated green circle on the map, there are four groups of monsters that you'll need to defeat: one to the north, one to the southeast, another to the southwest, and the last one near the gym itself.

• Here is a map picture for reference:

These monsters are nothing new, just the basic enemies you've encountered before in Costa del Sol. So, assemble your favorite party and take care of them all. Once you've cleared out all the monsters, return to Jules and inform him that the task is complete.

How To Complete The Crunch Off Against Amina

Remember the crunch-off minigame from the Remake? Well, it's back as part of the final stage of the quest where Amina challenges Tifa to a round as your first tutorial of this mini-game.

In the crunch-off, you'll need to press R1, L1, L2, and R2 in a circular pattern to perform a sit-up, aiming to have the most sit-ups to win. Fortunately, the Warm-Up round against Amina is relatively easy and not overly challenging.

Initially, you'll be able to see the button patterns and memorize them, but as you progress, the pattern will disappear, requiring you to rely on Tifa's movements to know when to press the buttons.

Think of it as a rhythm mini-game.

As you perform more sit-ups, the speed at which you need to press the buttons will increase. Again, pay attention to Tifa's movements, as each button press corresponds to a movement in her body. Occasionally, one of the buttons will glow yellow, indicating that you need to repeatedly tap that highlighted button to keep up.

Pressing the wrong button or pressing too early or too late will cause Tifa to lose her balance for several seconds, allowing Amina to overtake you. So, stay focused and be careful.

Once you defeat Amina, you'll complete the Bodybuilders In A Bind side quest and receive rewards for your efforts, including EXP, Party EXP, and a change in your relationship with Tifa.

Completing this quest will also unlock the crunch-off minigame, allowing you to challenge more opponents. However, they won't be as easy as Amina was.
