Key Takeaways

- This is one of the missable trophies and requires Zack to play a mini-game.
- The Waterfall mini-game requires all 10 trophies to be collected.
- Getting in contact with the enemies will freeze Zack.

How To Unlock The Waterfall Chaser Trophy
There are a lot of trophies in the game that can be missed if you do not roam around enough in certain areas. As we already know, we need to be in Chapter 9 for this trophy. Additionally, You must roam around the Gongaga Village to unlock this trophy.
You will have to play a mini–game in this area. That mini-game is what gives the trophy. Unfortunately, the mini-game wouldn’t just start own it’s own, and can be easily missed.

The mini–game must first be triggered, which is a time-consuming procedure. In order to do that, you must first run around this region and have 7 random enemy encounters near the Waterfall area. Remember you need to do at least 7 combats to trigger the mini–game.
The Waterfall Mini-Game
Finally, travel to the cliff’s edge in the Gongaga Hills region after you’re done with the combats. Zack will hear a sound coming from the Waterfall and he will go near it to check. This region has the Waterfall Chaser Trophy and it will be acquired after the mini–game.

The mini–game will start when Zack sees a chest come down the waterfall. The game will ask you whether you want to wait to see if other chests will follow. Select this option to launch the Waterfall Chaser mini-game!
What To Do In The Mini-Game

You must gather all 10 chests that fall in order to get the trophy. However, You’ll freeze, if you come into touch with one of the falling creatures. Fortunatley, you can always play this mini-game again.
But, you will have to start again and come back into this area after defeating 7 random enemies. That is the only way to trigger it again.
Objective of the Waterfall Mini-Game

The objective of this mini–game is quite straight forward. But, we can simply put it in the following way:
- Chests will drop from the top of the Waterfall
- Collect all the falling chests
- Enemies will be falling as well and will end up freezing Zack.
- Avoid the enemies
- If you fail to collect 10 chests, you will not get the trophy.
How to Play The Mini-Game Without Freezing
The way Zack moves is now the major challenge in this mini-game. It is quite challenging to manoeuvre Zack in small spaces. Which makes it challenging to get him to stand him in the middle of the water-stream without getting in contact with the enemy.
Let’s get you ready to play the mini–game, follow the following steps to triumph over this mini-game with ease:
- Stand a bit far from the waterfall. Do this, so you can have an idea of what’s coming.
- Sprint to the treasure chest and come back to position.
- In order to dodge the enemy coming from the left, go toward the screen and out to the left after grabbing the first middle chest.
- Sweep back in and collect the left and right chests.
- Avoid the enemy by moving away from the waterfall stream on the left or right side.
- Repeat the process.
- Collect all 10 chests while successfully avoiding the enemies.

Learning how the enemies and treasures descend may need a few tries, but once you do, you should be able to collect all 10 chests. Remember to stand a bit far away from the Waterfall since, what is falling from above is simply 50/50.
Tip: Simply mash the button ‘X’ (for PS players) if Zack freezes. That will unfreeze him!
Moreover, whatever’s falling will always fall in the same order. Which was not the case in the old 2007 game.
Rewards of Completing The Waterfall Mini-Game
Ultimately, you have managed to finish the mini game. Zack will then check to see what he collected in those chests. Which will give you the following rewards as they prompt up on the screen:

- 3000-gil bonus
- 1x Goblin Punch
- 1x Hi-Potion
- 1x X-Potion
- 1x Elixir

Furthermore, it will also give you the trophy that you desired, Congratulations!. Remember that this trophy cannot be achieved without doing all the steps mentioned in the article. Don’t miss out on anything!
