Every fight in Chadley’s VR — what unlocks it, what it drops, and how to approach it. Tick them off; your progress saves in this browser.
Spoiler level: names every simulator challenge and its reward, including the region summons and the post-story Brutal / Legendary tiers (kept behind a fold). No plot. Nothing here is missable — the simulator stays open through Chapter Select.
How the simulator works
Unlocks in Chapter 2 once you meet Chadley near Bill’s Ranch and raise the first tower.
No items allowed — every fight runs on Skills, spells and Limits only. This is deliberate Hard Mode practice, where items are off everywhere.
Most challenges unlock by doing Chadley’s World Intel in a region: scan Lifesprings and points to open Regional Data fights, clear Combat Assignments in the field to open Assignment fights, Assess enough enemies to open Biology fights.
Summon fights scale down a tier for each of that region’s three Divine Intel shrines you’ve found — and the reward is identical at every difficulty, so always clear the shrines first. Full summon detail lives in the Summons Atlas.
Rewards are mostly Materia (including hard-to-find support and Enemy Skill Materia) plus, at the top tiers, accessories and weapon Manuscripts.

Brutal & Legendary tiers — post-story
These unlock only after the main story and the Gilgamesh superboss (the end of the Protorelic Trail). Listed for completeness — expand to track them too.
