This didn't trigger for me. Got the phoenix materia, and followed the guide by guddentehpwner for when to go back for the battles. Question though. Do you have to stop the enemy from reaching the shack and kill everythingbefore that? Or can you just let them reach the top and fight the boss? I just let them hit the top for the boss battle without putting troops down.

I'm also curious if the battle HAS to be won with your troops or if you can just kill with commander. I suspect it's the former since you get the item that way, but it would be nice to get clarification.

I ended up restarting and doing the battles with the soldiers and not letting them reach the top. This caused the achievement to pop for me when I got back to the airship with Tifa as the leader.

Swanstation, android, got it using link with "Condor War " above. Just read carefully and you be OK. Cheevo will pop up after winning fight with Tifa as lider. and of course you need WIN in game battle not beat commander. In other words, you must earn rewards for all fights. Also don't forget, you CAN stay buggy unbroken, I repeat "Read carefully condor War link above.
As for the fight tactic : place one fighter and a start battle after that start placing fighters lower and lower red line until bottom. Then place in bottom as much soldiers as you want, pair or triple tristoners work well too

Immediately after getting the Highwind, go STRAIGHT to court Condor. This is the last mission to unlock the achievement. I gave an extra 3k Gil for the mission after, but probably wasn't necessary. Their starting Gil was enough. Duckstation works fine.

I wish I did this at the same time as the low level achievement playthrough just to get it over with. Kind of a high-stress achievement b/c you never know for sure until it pops. I kept double-checking to ensure Fort Condor was still at the starting 15k gil, and saving only after double-checking.

Retroarch shows 19/19 but this hasn't unlocked for me. Not sure why

Zyndeyqualarrin 4 Oct 2023 05:58

I checked like 10 times if this achievement existed and I missed it. Ugh, guess I'll have to do this in my low level playthrough

Zyndeyqualarrin 17 Oct 2023 11:53

Totally possible together with Low Level, got it

ruijian 23 Oct 2023 18:07

Same as big house gaming shows 19 out of 19 but didn't pop and I got the Phoenix materia

InBoxLife 11 Dec 2023 12:14

So I went there every time I had the opportunity and scored 14 or 16/20, and before the fight for the huge materia, for some reason, when I pressed “wait”, my counter would accumulate, but even when I scored 20, the achievement did not count, including after winning and receiving huge matter. What did I do wrong?

Inboxlife, if i remember, there are 21 encounters, not 20

Read slowly ) https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Condor_War

Comigo aconteceu o mesmo. Eu clicava em esperar e saia de fort condor, quando voltava o contador subia acumulando os 20/20. Aí depois da batalha para pegar a huge materia não ativava a conquista. Alguém me ajuda pls.

Just unlocked this. Wanted to summarize a few things so people don't have to go diving into the comments.

This popped for me the moment you talk to the dude to start the mandatory fight at Fort Condor, with Cid as party leader. Tifa is at Mideel at this time.
And yes, this means I didn't have to complete the fight for the huge materia in order to get this.

You must actually win all the fights and get the item(s) as a reward each time. Do not wait for the commander to hit the top.
I would assume this is how the logic is anyways. Worked for me.

For battles #4-7, do not let the buggy break down. You need it to go back to Fort Condor for a few fights. Once you get the Tiny Bronco, you can get to Fort Condor using that.
This also means you cannot do Cosmo Canyon skip at the same time as this (I was trying to do this with the low level cheevo too and used this exploit to make it easier)

I used a gamefaqs guide on Fort Condor, though I'm sure there's multiple guides that explain it well. But if anyone wants it:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/197341-final-fantasy-vii/faqs/71240/fort-condor

Lastly, I used DuckStation core for this whole playthrough. No issues.

Chorocojo 21 Mar 2024 00:51

Didn't initially pop for me, same conditions as @ThePixelJunkie, but on the last battle (as Cid), donated 3000 gil before the final battle and spoke to the leader again and it popped.

fngreg7 9 May 2024 12:38

Just got this. For all of the backtracking you have to do and external guides, I think that this deserves to be way more than 10 points. Maybe 25. It really is a long and arduous pain that takes an entire game's worth of planning.

CHillpx 6 Jun 2024 13:06

For anyone curious or concerned, there are about 5 battles that happen on disc 2 that are impossible to get to. As long as the fort has enough funds in stock, those missed battles will count towards the achievement.

Also want to note if you're using jegged as your guide, be aware that some of the timing and rewards are inaccurate. I recommend the wiki linked above as it's info correct. Jegged is pretty good for everything else though. Basically, if the guy at fort condor doesn't tell you that a battle was missed, (other than after the northern crater and the first visit to mideel) you're still on track.
