How To Unlock The Cage Of Binding
We have pointed out everything that you need to do to reach the Cage of Binding. But it can get quite confusing. Finding all the Loveless slabs and going through the lake of oblivion is explained in detail below!
The Loveless Act Locations

- Prologue Loveless: Reach the save point in the Depths of Judgement. Now, you should be right next to the first slab. Before moving on to the others, examine them to read the text.

- Loveless Act I: Discover this slab in the tunnel to the south that leads to the Lake of Oblivion. The fact that this slab is outside of where you need to go suggests that it is the last one. But there are more left.

- Loveless Act II: Found at the end of the walkway in front of you. There is a barred gate that leads to the Behemoth King. You shouldn’t have too much trouble beating him. Head east from the Depths of Judgement to Howling Fang. There are many cells in Howling Fang. You can grab anything within the cells by using the valves to unlock the cells, then go on to the slab at the end of the area.

- Final Loveless Act III: The final slab can be found by leaving the Depths of Judgement to the west. After that reach the Portal of Severance area. Inside, you’ll find the tablet for Act III right in front of you.
Lake Of Oblivion

After reviewing all of the slabs you can now move on to the Lake of Oblivion. The entrance to the Cage of Binding in the Lake of Oblivion lies to the south. Additionally, there are three other exits from this location (on top of the one you came in by).
Don’t forget to collect the chests that you will find here as they have key items you need later in the cage of binding.

Moreover, you will see glowing spots on the water once you reach the lake. Five of these spots have crystals above them. Additionally, a ‘Judecca‘ enemy will descend when you engage with these.
The Cage Opener Trophy
Reminder: This will also unlock the Cage Opener Trophy/Achievement!
Additionally, there should be a cutscene when a Mako bridge appears to lead to the next section. You have to engage with all five of the spots and defeat the enemies to unlock the Cage of Binding. once you have eliminated all of the enemies. The Trophy will appear when that is finished.

Tip to defeat the enemies: Allow them to avoid your attacks, then pursue them to capture them while they are losing their invincibility. This needs to be done as they are quite dodgy!
Conclusion
Ultimately, you will return to the location where you originally read the LOVELESS Act II slab after completing this prison. So, this is how you can unlock the Cage of Binding in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion.
