In other words, if you miss an enemy during a side quest, you must assess another enemy in a different location. Remember, the type of enemy doesn’t matter; all that matters is that you assess 16 in total.

Remember, to assess an enemy in FF7 Rebirth, you must have one of your party members equipped with the assess ability. Assess was provided to the player at the start of the game, so you should already have it in your inventory. I recommend equipping the Assess Materia to a party member who can fill up the ATB gauge fast so you can use it toward the start of the battle.
