Characters =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Much of this information from the Official Final Fantasy VII Site at: http://www.squaresoft.com/web/games/ff7/ ======================= Cloud Strife ======================= Job: Mercenary (ex-member of SOLDIER) Age: 21 Weapon: Sword Height: 5' 7" Birthdate: August 19 Birthplace: Nibelheim Blood Type: AB The main character of Final Fantasy VII. Originally a member of SOLDIER, he is now a mercenary who will take any job. After being hired by AVALANCHE, he gradually gets caught up in a massive struggle for the life of the planet. His enormous sword can cut almost anything in two. ======================= Barret Wallace ======================= Job: Leader of Avalanche Age: 35 Weapon: Gun-arm Height: 6' 5" Birthdate: December 15 Birthplace: Corel Village Blood Type: O Head of the underground resistance movement, AVALANCHE. He's fighting the mega-conglomerate, Shinra, Inc. which has monopolized Mako energy, building special reactors to suck it out of the planet. Barret depends on brute strength and his "Gun-arm" to see him through. His wife died in an accident several years ago, and he now lives with his daughter Marlene. ======================= Tifa Lockhart ======================= Job: Bar Hostess Age: 20 Weapon: Glove Height: 5' 5" Birthdate: May 3 Birthplace: Nibelheim Blood Type: B Bright and optimistic, Tifa always cheers up the others when they're down. But don't let her face fool you, she can decimate almost any enemy with her fists. She is one of the main members of AVALANCHE. She and Cloud were childhood friends, and although she has strong feelings for him, she will never admit it. ======================= Aeris Gainsborough ======================= Job: Flower Seller Age: 22 Weapon: Rod Height: 5' 3" Birthdate: February 7 Birthplace: Unknown Blood Type: O Young, beautiful, and somewhat mysterious, Aeris meets Cloud while selling flowers on the streets of Midgar. She decides to join him soon after. Her unusual abilities enable her to use magic, but she seems more interested in the deepening love triangle between herself, Cloud and Tifa. ======================= Red XIII ======================= Job: Beast Age: 48 Weapon: Headdress Height: N/A Birthdate: Unknown Birthplace: Cosmo Canyon Blood Type: Unknown Just like his name says, he is an animal with fire-red fur. But under this fierce exterior is an intelligence surpassing that of any human's. His sharp claws and fangs make him good at close-range fighting, but other than that, not much else is known about him. It's not even certain "Red XIII" is his real name. A real enigma. ======================= Cait Sith ======================= Job: Toysaurus Age: N/A Weapon: Megaphone Height: 3' 3" Birthdate: N/A Birthplace: N/A Blood Type: N/A Cait Sith rides around on the back of a huge stuffed Mog he magically brought to life. Megaphone in hand, he's always shouting orders and creating dopey attacks. When his slot machine attack works, the enemy camp looks like an overturned toy box. His hobby is fortune-telling, but like his personality, it's pretty unreliable. ======================= Yuffie Kisaragi ======================= Job: Materia Hunter (Ninja) Age: 16 Weapon: Knife, Boomerang, Origami (for throwing) Height: 5' 2" Birthdate: November 20 Birthplace: Wutai Blood Type: A Although you'd never know if you looked at her, Yuffie comes from a long line of ninja ancestors. She forced herself into the group just to get a certain something... She's sneaky, arrogant and "way" selfish. But with her super shuriken and her special skills, there isn't anyone else you'd rather have on your side in a fight. ======================= Vincent Valentine ======================= Job: Unemployed Age: 27 Weapon: Gun Height: 6' 0" Birthdate: October 13 Birthplace: Unknown Blood Type: A A mystical man, stern and upright while at the same time dark and mysterious. His past connection with Shinra is what made him join Cloud and the others. He may seem frail at first glance, but hidden inside his body lurks a fearsome power. ======================= Sephiroth ======================= Job: Unemployed, Ex-SOLDIER Age: Unknown Weapon: Masamune Blade Height: Unknown Birthdate: Unknown Birthplace: Unknown Blood Type: Unknown Little is known about the mighty Sephiroth other than the fact that he was most likely the strongest fighter on the planet. He was once a member of SOLDIER, but according to Shinra's newspapers, he was killed. His reappearance brings Cloud and his friends much trouble... =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= 6. Walkthrough =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Hey. Most of the items in this game aren't TOO hard to find, so I'll point them out. _Opening Cutscene_ ======================= Sector 1 Train Station ======================= That was cool. We need to follow those dudes! You'll get into a battle with 2 Shinra soldiers. As of now, your magic consists only of Ice and Bolt, so I recommend that you just attack. Now run where the other guys went. ======================= Sector 1 Area ======================= Go talk to the guy with the red headband. You get to name yourself. I recommend you leave it as is. You end up meeting another guy you can name, Barret. After that, you see a short _Cutscene_ Follow Biggs into the reactor. ======================= Sector 1 Reactor Entrance ======================= Follow the others. ======================= Sector 1 Security Room ======================= Go talk to Barret.

Level: 7 HP: Not very many Weak: Bolt Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Just keep attacking. Be sure to use your Limit Break if you get it, and heal if you get low on health. When Cloud warns Barret about attacking, DON'T ATTACK. Just wait until his tail goes down. When you win the battle, you'll get the ASSAULT GUN. You have 10 minutes to get out. Run! ======================= Sector 1 Catwalks ======================= Save if you had trouble with the boss, then climb the ladder and run to the next. ======================= Sector 1 Ladder Area ======================= Run up the ladder and check on Jessie.

Now continue to the bottom of the screen. ======================= Sector 8 Streets ======================= Here, you'll encounter multiple groups of soldiers. Fight them if you want the experience, otherwise, choose Later! every time. Eventually, you'll end up in what looks like a dead end. _Cutscene_ ======================= Cargo Car ======================= Follow the guys out. ======================= Car 1 ======================= Go talk to Jessie, then Barret. _Cutscene_ ======================= Sector 7 Station ======================= Go talk to Barret and follow him out. ======================= Sector 7 Tower Base ======================= Go left to the end. ======================= Sector 7 Slums ======================= Go talk to Barret. Little baby? Oh well. Enter the bar. ======================= Seventh Heaven ======================= Nothing you say really matters. You can name Tifa! Woo! Now leave. Ride the pinball machine! Woo! I need one of these. ======================= Avalanche Meeting Room ======================= Talk to Barret. Ride the pinball machine back up. ======================= Seventh Heaven ======================= Leave. Ahh. The classic FFVII long, boring flashback. Get used to it. ======================= Avalanche Meeting Room ======================= Ride the pinball machine. ======================= Seventh Heaven ======================= Talk to Barret. Let's go check on the Weapons Shop man. Leave. NOTE: Yeah, Marlene's like 5 years old. Of course she can take care of the bar! ======================= Sector 7 Slums ======================= There's some Materia you can buy in the house with the blue and orange sign above it. However, we need to go in the building beside it. ======================= Sector 7 Weapons Shop ======================= Well, there aren't any weapons except for the ASSAULT RIFLE, which we already have. However, there's some IRON BANGLEs for sale. Buy 3 and equip them. I'd also spread out your materia (Cloud - Lightning, Barret - Ice, Tifa - Restore) and sell your BRONZE BANGLEs. Head up the stairs. ======================= Sector 7 Slums ======================= Re-enter the building. ======================= Beginner's Hall ======================= Take the ALL materia. There aren't too many of them, so treasure the ones you get. Then take the ETHER from the treasure chest. There's also a save point and a bunch of losers here. Leave. ======================= Sector 7 Slums ======================= The room on top is an inn, so go back into the Sector 7 Weapons Shop. ======================= Sector 7 Weapons Shop ======================= Run past the crowd to the Sector 7 Tower Base. ======================= Sector 7 Tower Base ======================= Run to the right. ======================= Sector 7 Train Station ======================= Enter the train. ======================= Car 1 ======================= Go talk to Tifa. Uh-oh! ======================= Car 2 ======================= Run to the end. If you talk to the guy in the disco suit and choose the first option, you'll get a HI-POTION. Continue to the end. ======================= Car 3 ======================= Keep going! ======================= Car 4 ======================= Run to the other side. ======================= Car 5 ======================= Talk to Tifa. ======================= Winding Tunnel ======================= Run down the tunnel as Barret instructed. ======================= Security Beam Tunnel ======================= Check the hole and choose to Go down. ======================= Sector 5 Air Vent ======================= Take the ETHER and climb down the ladder. ======================= Sector 5 Upper Ladder Area ======================= Climb down. ======================= Wedge's Area ======================= Climb up the ladder closest to you (other than the one you just came down). ======================= Jessie's Air Vent ======================= Take the POTION, then head down the ladder at the left side of the air vent. ======================= Biggs' Catwalks ======================= Talk to Biggs. Take the TENT, then notice there's a save point. Climb up the ladder beside where Biggs was. ======================= Sector 5 Machinery Room ======================= Slide down the slide, then run past the stairs to the door. ======================= Sector 5 Ladder Area ======================= Head back down all the ladders. ======================= Sector 5 Catwalks ======================= Go across the pipes and down the ladder. Save if you want and head down the catwalk to the Sector 5 Main Valve. ======================= Sector 5 Main Valve ======================= Run up to the valve. You'll find out what that stuff about Tifa and her dad means later. Set the bomb on the valve and leave. ======================= Sector 5 Catwalks ======================= Climb back up the ladder, then across the pipes and up the ladder at the end. ======================= Sector 5 Ladder Area ======================= Run back up the ladders and out the door at the end. ======================= Sector 5 Machinery Room ======================= Run up the stairs like we did in Sector 1. Use the door at the end. ======================= Sector 5 Elevator ======================= Push the button and leave. ======================= Sector 5 Security Room ======================= Take the item from the treasure chest (sorry, forgot what it was) and head into that room with the 3 buttons. This is kinda hard, but you get unlimited tries. Just push the button when they do. Now go through the door opened, save, and head into the next room. ======================= Sector 5 Reactor Entrance ======================= Run out. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Air Buster Rec. Level: 8 HP: 1200 Weak: Bolt Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Just Attack and use Bolt until you get a Limit Break. Then use that, and continue. He should be finished rather quickly. You'll get a TITAN BANGLE at the end. It doesn't matter what you choose while talking. _Cutscene_ ======================= Sector 5 Slums Church ======================= Talk to the Flower Girl again. You don't HAVE to, but be nice to her. Don't call her the slum drunk. Talk to her again. Woo! A name-able character. It's Aeris. Now run over to the dude that just walked in. After Aeris says something, go talk to her again. ======================= Sector 5 Slums Church Back ======================= Jump over to where the steps are, then climb them and jump the gap. We have to save Aeris! Choose to Hold on a minute, then push the barrel furthest the left. That should land on top of him. Now wait until Aeris calls again, tell her to Hold on, then push the barrel in the back middle (N). N W E S When she calls again, either push the right barrel (E) over or just tell her to Run! Jump out the hole in the roof. ======================= Sector 5 Rooftops ======================= Just run across the rooftops until your SOLDIER candidate calls. Then run to the left, off the rooftops. ======================= Sector 5 Garbage Area 1 ======================= Run past the save point out the yellow-lighted area. ======================= Sector 5 Garbage Area 2 ======================= Go to the first yellow light you come to. ======================= Sector 5 Slums ======================= There's not much you'll want to buy here. Possibly some TITAN BANGLEs. HOWEVER, BUY SOME FIRE MATERIA for use against the next boss. You can also steal a little kid's 5 GIL if you're really mean. When you're done, go through the yellow light beside the green and white bus. ======================= Aeris' Garden ======================= Here, you'll find an ETHER, some COVER materia, and a save point. Enter Aeris' House. ======================= Aeris' House ======================= Go upstairs. ======================= Aeris' House 2F ======================= Take the POTION and PHOENIX DOWN, then walk slowly along the shelf and stairs, then down them. ======================= Aeris' House ======================= Leave. ======================= Aeris' Garden ======================= Leave. ======================= Sector 5 Slums ======================= Go back to the Sector 5 Garbage Area 2. It's all the way to the left. ======================= Sector 5 Garbage Area 2 ======================= Run to the left to AHHH! AERIS! ======================= Sector 6 Passage ======================= Run up the wooden ramp, then across the steel bridge. Run down the pink ramp, then through the tunnel. Finally, run up the rusted thin steel ramp, then down the wooden ramp and through the passage. ======================= Sector 6 Playground ======================= Talk to Aeris. Then follow the cart. ======================= Sector 6 Garbage Area ======================= Run to the upper side of the screen. ======================= Wall Market ======================= Assuming that UP is NORTH, go to the very southeast. ======================= Honey Bee Inn ======================= Talk to the dude with gray hair and a purple vest. Ask him about Tifa, then leave. ======================= Wall Market ======================= Now go north to the northwest corner. ======================= Wall Market 2 ======================= Run through the pink things at the north side of the area. ======================= Corneo Hall ======================= Talk to the man here and leave. NOTE: Some of us are really going to enjoy what happens next. When I say us, I DON'T mean me. ======================= Wall Market 2 ======================= There's a weapons shop here selling some stuff. They have the more powerful MYTHRIL ARMLETs, a MYTHRIL ROD for Aeris, and a METAL KNUCKLE for Tifa. I'd buy it all, but it's your call. Run back to the Wall Market. ======================= Wall Market ======================= |-----Tiara Mini Side Quest----- | |At this point, I recommend that you do this side quest. Go into the Materia |shop at the northeast corner of the area. | |NOTE: This side quest isn't really necessary, so follow the line to the left |if you don't want to do it. | |======================= |Wall Market Materia Shop |======================= | |Talk to the guy. Looks like you need to find out what's in the vending machine |in the inn. Leave. | |======================= |Wall Market |======================= | |Go to the southeast corner and go into the building with the YO sign. | |======================= |Wall Market Inn |======================= | |You have to spend the night to find out what's in the vending machine, so go |ahead and do so. The more money you spend on an item, the better the item you |get in return. | |Now leave. | |======================= |Wall Market |======================= | |Go back to the Materia Shop. | |======================= |Wall Market Materia Shop |======================= | |Give it to the guy. |200 - DIAMOND TIARA |100 - RUBY TIARA |50 - GLASS TIARA | Now leave. ======================= Wall Market ======================= Now go into the yellow-lit building in the northwest corner. ======================= Wall Market Dress Shop ======================= Talk to the girl behind the counter. Leave. ======================= Wall Market ======================= Looks like we need to talk to the dress shop girl's dad. Go up. ======================= Wall Market 2 ======================= Run to the first building on the left with the IN sign. ======================= Wall Market Bar ======================= Talk to the guy with the brown hat. It doesn't really matter what you choose. Then leave. ======================= Wall Market 2 ======================= Let's head back to the dress shop. Run to the south. ======================= Wall Market ======================= Go back into the dress shop. ======================= Wall Market Dress Shop ======================= Talk to the dad. You'll get a dress. It could be cotton, it could be silk. But you'll get a dress. Head into the dressing room. Now leave. We need a wig. ======================= Wall Market ======================= Go north. ======================= Wall Market 2 ======================= Enter the gym, which is the closest building to you. ======================= Wall Market Gym ======================= Talk to the dude in blue shorts. You need to push 3 buttons in the same sequence over and over. It's not that hard, just get more than the other guy. Whether you win or not determines how...clean...the wig is. My record is 20 squats. ;-). You'll get the BLONDE WIG. Leave. ======================= Wall Market 2 ======================= Head back to Wall Market. ======================= Wall Market ======================= Re-enter the Dress shop. ======================= Wall Market Dress Shop ======================= Go into the dressing room. Aeris gets a pretty hot dress. Looks like she's looking forward to the whole Corneo thing. Leave. NOTE: If you talk to the lady that's been waiting in line t whole time, she calls you weird. I can't imagine why. ======================= Wall Market ======================= Go north. ======================= Wall Market 2 ======================= To Corneo Hall! ======================= Corneo Hall ======================= Talk to the man, who says you're "hot too". Eww. ======================= Corneo's Mansion ======================= Run up the stairs, then down the stairs to the left. ======================= Corneo's West Room ======================= Run down the stairs and talk to Tifa. When you get a chance, take the ETHER and keep talking. After you regroup with the girls, give Tifa any stuff you bought her and give her some Materia if you want, you'll be fighting a boss soon. Leave. ======================= Corneo's Mansion ======================= Go through the big double doors here. ======================= Corneo's Office ======================= Just run up to one of them. ======================= Corneo's East Room ======================= Run to the right for a PHOENIX DOWN. Talk to all the guys, then talk to Scotch. You'll get into 2 battles. Scotch is slightly harder than the other guys, but not too much. After you're done, leave. ======================= Corneo's Mansion ======================= Let's go help Aeris. She's in Corneo's West Room. ======================= Corneo's West Room ======================= Pick up Aeris and leave. ======================= Corneo's Mansion ======================= Re-enter Corneo's Office. ======================= Corneo's Office ======================= Go behind the curtain. ======================= Corneo's Bedroom ======================= This is where the magic happens. You'll go through the a bunch of talking, then be faced with these choices: Because I've given up on life Because I'm sure I'll win Because I'm clueless Well, the correct answer is always #2, but you won't see him again for a while if you do at all. No matter what you pick, the same thing happens. ======================= Sector 6 Sewerway ======================= Check on the girls. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Aps Rec. Level: 10 HP: 1,800 Weak: Fire Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Use that FIRE materia I told you to buy and you should be doin' pretty good. Aeris' Limit Break heals you and Cloud's and Tifa's Limit Breaks hurt him. Just attack him and use magic in between Limit Breaks. At the end you'll get a PHOENIX DOWN. Climb the stairs here and take the POTION, then climb back down the stairs and climb up the ladder. Run across, then climb down the ladder, up the stairs and take the STEAL materia. Jump down the hole at the end. ======================= Sector 6 Sewerway 2 ======================= Run down the stairs, up where there's no railing, then up the ladder at the end. ======================= Train Graveyard ======================= There's a save point here and a bunch of items. In the barrels you'll find a HI-POTION and an ECHO SCREEN, and in other areas you'll find a HI-POTION and 2 POTIONs. To get through here, climb up the first ladder, then run across the train tops until you run into some weird structure. Jump ontop of it, then run down onto the ground. Now run under the weird structure and into the train. Then run down, out, and up the ladder. Now go up to the next ladder, go down it, then go back into the train. Now go up out of the train, then out of the screen. If you want to pick up the items, they're not too hard to find, but you'll have to get them yourself. ======================= Train Graveyard 2 ======================= Here you can find an ETHER in a barrel and a POTION and HI-POTION in the open. Run under the overturned train, then into the front car of a train to move it. When it's finished moving, jump back in again. Then run around the train and hop into the other train. Then climb up the ladder and jump onto the moving train. Run across it and climb down the ladder. Then, run out of the screen. ======================= Sector 7 Train Station ======================= Run to the other side of the screen. ======================= Sector 7 Tower Base ======================= Whoa. That Wedge is supernatural. Head into the caged area and save. Then climb the stairs. ======================= Sector 7 Tower ======================= Talk to Biggs. Then run up ALL the stairs until you come to Jessie. Talk to him too, then head all the way to the top. Talk to Barret, then give him all the materia Aeris had. Then they come. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Reno Rec. Level: 10 HP: 1,000 Weak: None Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Just keep attacking. You can destroy the pyramids by directly attacking whoever it's around. He's only got 1,000 HP, so he's not that hard. After he loses, he says "It's time" and leaves. You get an ETHER for winning. Go talk to Tifa! _Cutscene_ We hafta get outta here! Talk to Tifa, then Barret. Jump on his shoulders. _Cutscene_ ======================= Sector 6 Passage ======================= Run up the wooden ramp and to the rusted thin one. Now run back to the playground. ======================= Sector 6 Playground ======================= Take the SENSE materia and leave. ======================= Sector 6 Passage ======================= Run back to the Sector 5 Slums Garbage Area 2. ======================= Sector 5 Garbage Area 2 ======================= Now go to the next yellow light, which leads to the Sector 5 Slums. ======================= Sector 5 Slums ======================= Go to Aeris' Garden. ======================= Aeris' Garden ======================= To Aeris' House! ======================= Aeris' House ======================= Now you get to witness a BUNCH of talking. When it's done, run upstairs. ======================= Aeris' House 2F ======================= Go talk to Barret. Then go back down the stairs. ======================= Aeris' House ======================= Leave. ======================= Aeris' Garden ======================= Retreat to the Sector 5 Slums. ======================= Sector 5 Slums ======================= Go back to the Sector 5 Garbage Area 2. ======================= Sector 5 Garbage Area 2 ======================= Now go to the Sector 6 Passage. ======================= Sector 6 Passage ======================= Make your way back to the Sector 6 Playground. ======================= Sector 6 Playground ======================= Now go past the slide to the Sector 6 Garbage Area. ======================= Sector 6 Garbage Area ======================= Go up. ======================= Wall Market ======================= Go to the northwest to Wall Market 2. ======================= Wall Market 2 ======================= Go into the Weapons Shop with the MACHINE & GUN sign above the door. ======================= Wall Market Weapons Shop ======================= Talk to the man in green clothes for some BATTERIES. :-\. You'll need them. Leave. ======================= Wall Market 2 ======================= Follow those kids off screen to see "somethin awesome". ======================= Bottom of the Wall ======================= Talk to that kid, then climb the golden shiny wire of hope. ======================= Middle of the Wall ======================= Run to the top of the wire, then jump onto the garbage to the left. Run under the wire and jump over to the socket. Put in a battery. Hmm. That helps out. Well, actually it does. Run to the top of the reddish white tube onto the propeller. Then cross and climb up the railroad track. Put a battery in place, then climb up to where Cloud starts talking. It took me a while to figure this out, but jump as you're hearing or just after hearing the SQUEAK. Then climb up the tube. ======================= Top of the Wall ======================= Well, you could probably get something special if you get a battery in that socket, but it's probably no big deal anyway. Run up the tube, then climb up the wire. After you get to the top, climb down the wire back onto the tube and run up the tube. ======================= Outside Shinra H.Q. ======================= At this point, you have a choice. You can either bust on in or run up enough stairs to kill 7 goats. That's a lot of stairs. This walkthrough's going to assume you busted in, but if you take the stairs, which are to the left, you'll get an ELIXIR, and the brilliant creators of this game couldn't count too well, so actually there's probably enough stairs for 90 or 100 floors. You'll end up at the 59th Floor. So anyway, run through the front doors! ======================= 1st Floor ======================= Battle the guards, then run up the stairs to the 2nd Floor. ======================= 2nd Floor ======================= Run up more stairs. ======================= 3rd Floor ======================= Run into the elevator. ======================= H.Q. Elevator 1 ======================= Oh balogna. Just keep stopping the elevator and battling until you get to the 59th Floor. ======================= 59th Floor ======================= Go fight the soldiers guarding the other elevators. After the battle, you'll get KEYCARD 60. Now enter the elevator they were guarding. ======================= H.Q. Elevator 2 ======================= Push the 60" button. Then talk to Barret and Tifa. _Cutscene_ ======================= 60th Floor ======================= Run out of the security camera's view, then through the red-lighted door. The trick here is to run from statue to statue either while the guard behind it is moving or when there's no guard at all behind it. Same thing when signaling your friends. If you lose, regardless of where you are, you will have to fight and start all over. So if you stink at this, you will be at a high level before you make it. Climb the stairs. ======================= 61st Floor ======================= There's 2 guys in gray here. One of them will ask you what you're doin. Answer "..." and he'll think you're from the repair division and give you KEYCARD 62. Now climb the stairs to the 62nd Floor. ======================= 62nd Floor ======================= Run to the left and talk to the guy in the room. It's Domino, the mayor of Midgar. He has a little puzzle for you, and you need to guess the passcode. It's randomized, so you can either guess it, or follow these instructions to find out what it is and get his secret prize. Check the signs outside the libraries. There's: Scientific Research Library Urban Dev. Reserach Library Peace Preservation/Weapon Dev. Research Library Space Dev. Research Library Now in each library, there's a file that shouldn't be there. Such as an economic report in the Peace Preservation/Weapon Dev. Research Library. There is a number at the beginning of each file name. Look at the number on the files that don't belong in that library. Match the number with the letters in the title of the file. If the file start with a 4, then check the fourth letter and... well, you get the idea. Then, unscramble the letters and BOOM. The password. Give it to Domino for the KEYCARD 65 and the ELEMENTAL materia if you got it on your first try. Go up. ======================= 63rd Floor ======================= Sigh. A puzzle. Here's how to do it. First, talk to the computer, which will give you the ability to open only 3 doors. Second, run to the right and all the way to the top. Open this door. Third, run through the door until you run into another door. Don't open IT, however, open the door to the south of it. Now you can enter the room with a red light and take the A COUPON. Fourth, hop into the air vent. Once in there, go down the other hole that doesn't lead back to the computer. Fifth, take the B COUPON and go out the door. Open the door to the left here. It should give you access to the room with the C COUPON. Finally, climb back into the air duct and drop down into the room with the computer. And there you have it. If you could understand what I was saying, you now have a STAR PENDANT, FOUR SLOTS, and an ALL materia. Go up the stairs to the 64th Floor. ======================= 64th Floor ======================= This is where you can get Cait Sith's best weapon when you re-visit Midgar toward the end of the game, so don't forget it. There IS a PHOENIX DOWN in an open locker here, though. When you're finished, climb the stairs to the 65th floor. ======================= 65th Floor ======================= GRR. I hate puzzles. It's not the treasure chest in the room with you now, but you need to find the unlocked treasure chest. You'll get some MIDGAR PARTS. Then you take them into the middle room and put them in place. This causes another one to unlock. Do this over and over until you get KEYCARD 66. Ascend the stairs. ======================= 66th Floor ======================= Let's see what's goin on in that meeting. Run to the bathroom in the northwest corner or the room. Go into the stall. ======================= H.Q. Bathroom Stall ======================= Run to the toilet and choose to climb up. ======================= 66th Floor Air Vent ======================= Check out the lighted vent closest to the camera. After that amazingly exciting meeting, climb back down into the H.Q. Bathroom Stall. ======================= H.Q. Bathroom Stall ======================= Leave. ======================= 66th Floor ======================= Run back to the stairs. You'll see Hojo. Follow him up the stairs. ======================= 67th Floor ======================= Run to the left where you'll see Hojo, a strange lab specimen, and Jenova. This is the point where I fought with the STOOPIDEST enemy ever. It was called the Warning Board. It's a T.V. with a fist flashing on it. It was so stupid. Sorry, just had to say that. Now go past all the stuff to the treasure chest, where you'll get POISON materia. I recommend you save here. Also ride the elevator up. ======================= 68th Floor ======================= Go after Hojo. Whoa. A party member. He actually has a real name, but it's stupid, so just name him Red XIII. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: HO512 + HO512-opt A, B, C Rec. Level: 12 HP: 1,000 Weak: Ice Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Ignore the little guys, just go for the big guy. The little guys die when you kill the big guy. He only has 1000 HP, so he's not that bad. Use ice when you can. The HO512-opts each have 300 HP. At the end of the battle, you get a TALISMAN. Assemble your party however you want. Don't forget the ENEMY SKILL materia in the tank. Now go up the ramp and take the 2 POTIONs. Then talk to the dude in gray. The loser gives you KEYCARD 68, which helps you almost none. Follow the man in gray to the end of the hall and take the 2 more POTIONs. Then go down the steps. ======================= 67th Floor ======================= Down... ======================= 66th Floor ======================= Now go to the elevator where the others said they'd be waiting. ======================= H.Q. Elevator 2 ======================= Check the panel. It's okay. It had to happen. ======================= 67th Floor ======================= Talk to whoever you wish, but all you REALLY need to do is check the door, check on Aeris, then re-check the door and get some sleep. Whoa. Go out and check the guard's body. Then wake Tifa up. Now go talk to Red XIII or Barret. Talk to Barret again. Then talk to Tifa. Now go to where Red XIII first was. Talk to him, then ride the elevator behind him. ======================= 68th Floor ======================= Follow the trail of blood up the stairs. ======================= 69th Floor ======================= Follow the yellow brick road. ======================= Top Floor ======================= Go check the President's body. He doesn't have a real name. Now go out to see Rufus. ======================= Top Floor Balcony ======================= How fun. ======================= 69th Floor ======================= YES. REMOVE CLOUD AND TIFA'S MATERIA. You'll get to use it again when you're Cloud. Now put materia on your people as if you're going to fight a boss... and hop into the elevator, not the stairs. ======================= H.Q. Elevator 2 ======================= Push the button. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Hundred Gunner Rec. Level: 12 HP: 1,600 Weak: Bolt Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Just keep using magic due to the fact that only Barret can attack. BE SURE to use Bolt and Limit Breaks as much as possible. Eventually, you'll win and some other guy will show up. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Heli Gunner Rec. Level: 12 HP: 1,000 Weak: Bolt Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Same plan as last time. Don't attack anyone who falls asleep. Just keep the Bolt and Limit Breaks comin! The AB Cannon can put you to sleep AND hurts you. The C Cannon just hurts. The Flying Cannon and Spinning Bodyblow attacks hurt about 150. After the battle, you switch back to Cloud. ======================= Top Floor Balcony ======================= ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Rufus & Dark Nation Rec. Level: 12 HP: Rufus: 500 Dark Nation: 140 Weak: None Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ He's only got 500 HP! Dark Nation casts Barrier, which makes it hard to attack him non-magically. Thus, USE MAGIC. If Dark Nation uses MBarrier, try physical attacks. You don't have to kill Dark Nation, but if you get tired of his stupid Bolt attacks, go ahead. When he says, "Heh, that's all for today", he's done. You get a PROTECT VEST for winning. Re-enter the building. ======================= Top Floor ======================= Run down the stairs. ======================= 69th Floor ======================= Talk to Tifa. Now you're controlling Aeris and friends. ======================= 1st Floor ======================= Go check outside. Darn! The Shinra's everywhere! Where's Cloud? _Cutscene_ That's one of my fav's. ======================= Midgar Highway ======================= You're going to be fighting a boss soon, and you'll be in really low HP if you don't do good in the mini-game. This mini-game is EXTREMELY hard on a fast PC. Oh my gosh it goes at the speed of light. Oh well. Well, the screen pretty much explains the thing. Some riders take one slash and others take 2. At the end, you'll notice a large machine following you. It's a boss. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Motor Ball Rec. Level: 12 HP: 2,600 Weak: Bolt Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Ouch...2,600 HP. Seems like Horse-power too. Use the Bolt. This guy you can attack, too, but he's still got all those HPs. His armor is twice as weak as the last guy. Also, Ice works better than Fire. Be sure to cure after his Rolling Fire attack. It hurts! After the battle, you'll end up outside Midgar, at the gates. ======================= Midgar Gates ======================= Try to leave, then say Let's go! Then you'll see the characters choosing a leader, and it feels like you're watching a show on Nickelodeon. There's always a moral. I think Barret would make a great leader. Oh well. Choose your party, but if you only pick the guys, Aeris and Tifa will call it an "interesting combination". What do they know anyway? Heh. Funny. If you put yourself with the girls, Barret says "Thought you'd do that." What do you expect? He's young and single. Leave. ======================= World Map ======================= Make your way northeast to the dot on the map. It's Kalm. Be prepared for a very long, very boring flashback. ======================= Kalm ======================= Here's some stuff you might want to buy: EARTH materia MYTRHIL SABER and depending on your 2 favorite other characters: CANNON BALL MYTHRIL CLAW FULL METAL STAFF Red XIII doesn't have a new weapon just yet. After you're finished buying what you want, head into the inn your friends went into. ======================= Kalm Inn 1F ======================= Head upstairs. ======================= Kalm Inn 2F ======================= Talk to Barret. Hey, I'll give you a hint on the story. Well, no I won't. You get to fight a monster. You can only attack or use items...hmm...it looks like you can use the items you have NOW. That's weird. ======================= Nibelheim ======================= Run past Sephiroth into the main city. Go into the house with double doors to the right. ======================= Tifa's House 1F ======================= Go upstairs. ======================= Tifa's House 2F ======================= Go into Tifa's room and play the piano. Choose "Just a little..." Normally, you'd have to remember this stuff, but I'll remind you later. Do..Re..Mi..Ti..La..Do..Re..Mi..So..Fa..Do..Re..Do..Forget it... Now go back down the stairs. ======================= Tifa's House 1F ======================= Leave. ======================= Nibelheim ======================= Now go into the Inn Sephiroth went into. ======================= Nibelheim Inn 1F ======================= Go upstairs. ======================= Nibelheim Inn 2F ======================= Talk to Sephiroth, then talk to him again. Choose to sleep. ======================= Nibelheim ======================= Talk to Sephiroth. _Cutscene_ ======================= Mt. Nibel Bridge ======================= Talk to Tifa. Then follow her up the bridge and talk to her again. ======================= Mt. Nibel Path 2 ======================= Now you can see all of Sephiroth's gear. ALL that mastered materia... Go to the right, up the path and into the cave. ======================= Mako Cave ======================= Run to the exit at the other side. ======================= Mt. Nibel Reactor Area ======================= Run into the reactor. ======================= Mt. Nibel Reactor ======================= Run along the pipes, then onto the board, and onto the chains. Then climb down and enter the hole Sephiroth did. ======================= Mt. Nibel Jenova Room ======================= Run up the stairs and talk to Sephiroth. Then close the valve Sephiroth specified. Talk to Sephiroth twice. Now you get to see a dude that looks like one of my friends. _Cutscene_ That's kinda gross and it doesn't show up when you come here later. ======================= Kalm Inn 2F ======================= Save and rest. You don't wanna have to sit through THAT again. ======================= Shinra Mansion ======================= Run up the stairs and to the right. ======================= East Shinra Mansion ======================= Run past the soldier to the very conspicuous looking wall. Go through it. ======================= Shinra Mansion Secret Stairs ======================= Run all the way to the bottom. ======================= Shinra Mansion Tunnel ======================= Run through the door at the end. ======================= Shinra Mansion Lab ======================= Talk to Sephiroth, then leave. ======================= West Shinra Mansion ======================= Go out of the bedroom and down the stairs. ======================= Shinra Mansion ======================= Run to the east. ======================= East Shinra Mansion ======================= Go back to the secret stairs. ======================= Shinra Mansion Secret Stairs ======================= Go down the stairs. ======================= Shinra Mansion Tunnel ======================= Run to the end and enter the lab. ======================= Shinra Mansion Lab ======================= Just run to the other end and talk to Sephiroth. Leave. ======================= Shinra Mansion Tunnel ======================= Go to the other end and up the stairs. ======================= Shinra Mansion Secret Stairs ======================= Go up the stairs to the top. ======================= East Shinra Mansion ======================= Go back to the main part of the mansion. ======================= Shinra Mansion ======================= Leave. ======================= Nibelheim ======================= IT'S ON FIRE! Run down the stairs! Now check the house with the open door. Soon you see perhaps the coolest _Cutscene_ It's the desktop on my PC. :-D. _Cutscene_ ======================= Mt. Nibel Reactor ======================= Go down to the Jenova Room. You'll run into Tifa. Follow her into the room. ======================= Mt. Nibel Jenova Room ======================= Man. Tifa's a loser. Go talk to her. Then go after Sephiroth. ======================= Mt. Nibel Jenova Room 2 ======================= Now, you'll see perhaps the 2nd coolest _Cutscene_ ======================= Kalm Inn 2F ======================= Go downstairs. ======================= Kalm Inn 1F ======================= Go talk to whoever's down her for the PHS. It's a cell phone. Now leave. ======================= Kalm ======================= Make sure you have at least 2000 GIL. Leave. ======================= World Map ======================= If you couldn't get to 2000 GIL, run around and do some battles. Go southeast to the next dot. It's the Chocobo Ranch. ======================= Chocobo Ranch ======================= Talk to the chocobo closest to you. Choose Wark, not Warrrk. You'll see a very interesting dance and get the CHOCO/MOG summon materia. Woo! Your first! Now go into the barn in the back of the area. ======================= Chocobo Barn ======================= Go talk to the kid. It's Choco Billy! When he asks you, buy the CHOCOBO LURE materia. Then when you can buy greens from him, buy 2-5 of the cheapest kind, the GYSAHL GREENS. Now equip your CHOCOBO LURE materia and leave. ======================= Chocobo Ranch ======================= Leave. ======================= World Map ======================= Keep running around on the chocobo tracks until you get in a battle. Once in the battle, throw the Chocobo some of your GYSAHL GREENS and fight off the bad guys. If you kill the bad guys and the Chocobo's still there, you've captured a Chocobo! After you catch one, head to the marshes to the west of the ranch. The Midgar Zolom lives here, and he'll eat you alive if you're not fast enough to avoid him. Try to just run into the marshes avoiding any moving shadows. You probably won't have any trouble. Just get to the grassy place on the other side and dismount from your Chocobo. Run into the cave. ======================= Midgar Zolom Death Site ======================= Ewww. Leave. ======================= World Map ======================= Enter the cave. ======================= Turks Cave ======================= None of the items here are necessary, but here's how to get them. From the entrance, go right to the end. You'll find an ETHER and a TENT. Then head back to the entrance and go left. At the fork, go to Cloud's left. Open the treasure chest, there's a MIND SOURCE inside. Continue down the path the other way and through the hole. ======================= Turks Cave 2 ======================= After the talking, you can head through the entryway in the middle of the screen for an ELIXIR and a HI-POTION. When you're done, follow Rude out of the cave. ======================= World Map ======================= On this side of the mountains, there is Fort Condor and Junon Harbor. If you go to Fort Condor NOW and give them a bunch of money, you can play a mini-game. However, I suggest you go straight to the dot west of you on the map. That's Junon. NOTE: It IS possible to get Yuffie in the woods around here. If you fight her, beat her up, then she'll ask you some questions. You have to answer them all correctly to get her to come with you. Here's the questions and the correct answers: DON'T GO TO THE SAVE POINT OR ACCESS THE MENU. Q: One more time, let's go one more time! A: Not interested. Q: You're pretty scared of me, huh?! A: Petrified... Q: I'm gonna leave! I mean it! A: Wait a second! Q: So you want me to go with you? A: That's right Q: All right! I'll go with you! A: Let's hurry That should do it. You may have to fight a bunch of times to find her, though.. Anyway, head to Junon. Save just outside of it. ======================= Junon Town ======================= Run down the stairs at the bottom-left corner of the town. ======================= Mr. Dolphin Beach ======================= Uh-oh! Is that... BOSS MUSIC?! ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Bottomswell Rec. Level: 13 HP: 2,500 Weak: Wind Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Looks like Mr. Dolphin didn't stick around to help us. The only wind-type materia you have is your CHOCO/MOG summon. So use that. I also recommend you use Poison-type materia to poison him. It hurts him every time he attacks. The gift that keeps on givin! Use any materia you have with an ALL with it especially when he puts a bubble around one of your allies. He's not too hard, and he gets washed away in his Big Wave attack. After the battle, you have to perform CPR. It's not that hard. Push the button that game tells you to, then push it again when the mark gets close to the top. Just do that 4 or 5 times and she should be fine. I thought you had to pound on their chest or something? Oh well. She's okay. ======================= Junon Town ======================= Go talk to the old lady in front of the house by the entrance. ======================= Junon Lady's House ======================= When you get the chance, agree to rest. Regardless of who was in your party, you'll find yourself with Tifa and hearing repetitive joyful music. Sounds like Tifa's hiding something. Leave. ======================= Junon Town ======================= Run up the stairs your friends are huddled around. You'll see Priscilla, who gives you SHIVA summon materia. Woo! Shiva's an Ice-type. Follow Priscilla. ======================= Mr. Dolphin Beach ======================= Talk to Priscilla. This has to be the most *tedious* and annoying mini-game in the entire game. You have to align yourself so that when Mr. Dolphin jumps, he takes you on top of the pole coming off of the tower. Grr. * = Big word. However, I have figured out the secret, and am willing to share it with you. Here's the tower and the pole. T| O|---------------- W| Pole+ E|---X------------ R| Go about right there, with your feet being X and your head under the pole where you can't see it. Ha! Blow the whistle to show Mr. Dolphin who's the man. Then climb up the high voltage tower. ======================= Junon Airport ======================= _Cutscene_ Wow. Maybe someday you'll get to ride in the Highwind. Head toward the camera. Then when the view changes, run onto the large elevator and push the button. Woo! Cheery music! The door you need to get to is under that canopy coming out of the large canopy. Go there. ======================= Junon Airport Path ======================= Go ahead and go into the room the soldier told you to. ======================= Junon Locker Room ======================= Check the slightly open locker and choose to change. Here's the lyrics for the song, in case you're extremely bored and have no sense of rhythm: Rufus--- Rufus Shinra---- We---are---Shinra Company---- The new---President---- Oh---Oh---- Shinra--- Oh---Oh oh---- Shinra, Inc.--- Realization---of the new era New----President Ru---fus--- Oh---Oh---- Shinra--- Oh---Oh oh---- Shinra, Inc.--- Building---the new era--- Shinra---forev--er--- Say Got it! Basically all you have to remember is how to shoulder your gun, which is SQUARE/OK. Leave. ======================= Junon Airport Path ======================= Follow the guys out. ======================= Junon 2nd Street ======================= Follow the soldiers into the alley. ======================= Junon Main Street ======================= The better you are, the better the TV ratings get. If you're good, they'll send you POTIONs. If not, they'll send you a GRENADE. Good luck! After that, you'll see President Rufus and Heidegger. It won't let you move. Eventually, the dude in maroon will ask you a question, but the answers aren't too great. It doesn't matter what you pick, you'll still end up in the locker room. ======================= Junon Locker Room ======================= Here, you are told about the show for President Rufus. Try hard, you'll get a FORCE STEALER if you do any good (that's a new sword for Cloud). You press whatever buttons it tells you, and left/right. It's not too hard, but if you get it right, Rufus' mood will go up 10 points. Leave when you're done. ======================= Junon Airport Path ======================= Follow them out. ======================= Junon 2nd Street ======================= Run down the street, past that thing Rufus and Heidegger got on. ======================= Underwater Reactor Tunnel ======================= Go out the exit in front of you. ======================= Junon Dock Street ======================= Run to the end. ======================= Junon Dock ======================= Alright. Show your stuff! The special ending doesn't really work if you're facing the wrong way, due to the fact that the game won't let you turn around. Hehe. After the showing you can't move, but if you push the right buttons, you can: Shrug your shoulders Put your hand on your waist Scratch your back with your gun After the loser leaves, board the boat. ======================= Cargo Area ======================= You need to talk to all of your undercover friends. Down here, you'll find Yuffie (if you have her) and Aeris. You'll also find an ETHER and an ALL materia. Talk to your friends down here, then go up the stairs. ======================= Main Deck ======================= That's Tifa up there lookin' around. Talk to her, then run to the other end of the boat. You'll find Red XIII dancing around like an idiot. Talk to him, too, then head back down the stairs. ======================= Cargo Area ======================= Talk to Aeris again. Now we have to find Barret. Go up the stairs. ======================= Main Deck ======================= Head back towards Red XIII, except don't go up the ladder and keep going. Talk to Barret twice. Then go back toward Tifa. Assemble your party, buy a drink from the seaman, then head down the stairs. ======================= Cargo Area ======================= Go through the door formerly guarded by a soldier. ======================= Engine Room ======================= Climb up the ladder here, then run around the platform and take the WIND SLASH from the treasure chest. It's a weapon for Yuffie. Now climb back down and talk to the man in maroon clothes. Well, at least it's not Sephiroth. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Jenova BIRTH Rec. Level: 14 HP: 4,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Just keep attacking and curing. His laser shooting attack will probably give you a Limit Break in one hit. Sweet. Watch out for his Tail Laser attack, which hurts all of your party. He's not too hard. Just don't use poison, it has no effect on him. After the battle, you'll get a WHITE CAPE and some IFRIT summon materia will be right in front of you. Follow the others out. ======================= Costa Del Sol Dock ======================= After the talking, run up the stairs. ======================= Costa Del Sol ======================= If you don't have Red XIII in your party, you can kick him with a soccer ball. Cool. Barret can be found in the Inn in his sailor suit. ;-). Enter the building with "Costa del Sol" beside it, then go downstairs. You'll find a POWER SOURCE and a FIRE RING. There's a guy in the corner of the Bar you should talk to. He's selling some PLATINUM BANGLEs that you should buy. There's also a guy selling materia at what looks like a lemonade stand. When you're finished buying, go down the stairs at the far side of the town. ======================= Costa del Sol Beach ======================= Heh. I always choose "That girl in the bikini?" just for the fun of it. Go talk to Hojo. Then leave. ======================= Costa del Sol ======================= Leave. ======================= World Map ======================= Go west until you run into a cliff, then run around and on top of it. Go northwest until you find a dirt road. Follow it to the cave at the end. ======================= Corel Mountain Pass ======================= Talk to the man here, then continue past him. NOTE: You may encounter some Needle Kisses on the way. They travel in groups and are immune to Lightning attacks. They are, however, a great source of EXP. ======================= Corel Reactor ======================= Run down the stairs onto the railroad tracks, then run along the railroad tracks out of the screen. ======================= Railroad Tracks ======================= Run down the tracks until the screen changes. Now on this raiilroad track, the track could fall out from under you. There's some items you can get, but falling is really annoying, so just push SQUARE/OK quickly. Alright. Run until you can go up or down, and go up. At the end, take the W MACHINE GUN and head back to the UP/DOWN fork. This time go down. When you come to another junction, go up. Take the TURBO ETHER and TRANSFORM materia. Then go back and to the next junction. Go up and to the end. ======================= Railroad Bridge ======================= Run past your friends to the wooden box. Choose to "do it". Then run out of the box and further down the track. You'll hear some chirping. Climb up the wall. How cute. If you take their treasure, which is 10 PHOENIX DOWNs, you'll have to fight one of those big birds usually behind the 3 hard tiny birds. Now head back the way you came to the end. ======================= Railroad Tracks ======================= Now go down at the last junction. ======================= Railroad Bridge ======================= Now run across the bridge you just lowered to the end. ======================= Corel Bridge ======================= Here you may encounter an enemy called simply "Bomb". Just run if you encounter this bad boy. ======================= Corel ======================= If Barret's in your party, go talk to him. If not, run up to the man in blue. The only thing here you want to buy is some CARBON BANGLEs from the fat man. Make sure you have at least 3000 GIL, then run to the left past the Gold Saucer sign. ======================= Tram Station ======================= Run up the stairs to your friends. When you get asked, decide to board the tram. What a sad story. _Cutscene_ ======================= Gold Saucer Entrance ======================= Talk to the lady at the entrance. You can buy a single pass for 3000 GIL or a lifetime pass for 30000 GIL. You probably only have enough for the cheaper one, so don't feel bad. ======================= Station Square ======================= Talk to whoever you want to go with, then head to Wonder Square. ======================= Wonder Square ======================= Yay! Someone you can name. However, trust me, this guy's a loser. If you're like me, you'll NEVER put him in your party again. When he's finished being his loser self, he'll be in your party. Head to Battle Square. ======================= Corel Prison ======================= Follow Barret to the next screen, then save at the save point if you're bored. Go into the house here. ======================= Trashed House ======================= Man. I hate flashbacks. Leave the way you came in. ======================= Corel Prison ======================= Go south into the big truck. ======================= Mr. Coates' Room ======================= Talk to Mr. Coates and leave. ======================= Corel Prison ======================= Go back to where you first were to notice that the guy guarding the gate has been shot. Run through the gate and over the hill. Once the screen changes, run through the fence to the other side of the screen. NOTE: You may want to make sure Barret has all your good materia, he'll be fighting a boss one-on-one. When you can see the cars, follow the path to the top of the screen. ======================= Dyne's Place ======================= ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Dyne Rec. Level: 13 HP: 1,200 Weak: None Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Use your Limit Breaks! They take away about 350 each, so it shouldn't last too long. Just heal whenever you get to 300 HP or less. He'll go down on his last Molotov Cocktail. After you beat him, you'll get something of his and a SILVER ARMLET. ======================= Chocobo Registration Room ======================= When you get the chance, take the RAMUH summon materia from beside the table. Then wait for Ester to come back. Good luck racing! If you have the PC version, you can hold down 1 & 3 to slowly regain energy. ;-) If you win, you'll find yourself on the ======================= World Map ======================= NOTE: If at this point you're crazy enough to try to level Aeris up enough to get her Level 4 Limit Break (you probably won't get Cloud's or anyone else's), you should hitch a ride on the boat at Costa del Sol. With the buggy on the other continent, you can cross the river beyond the forest which leads you to a cave. The man inside will give you MYTHRIL. Then you will need to go back to the other continent and find a house. As soon as you cross the river south of the Corel Prison, go east. Give the MYTHRIL to the man in the house and he'll give you Aeris' Level 4 Limit Break. DON'T DO THAT! It's a waste of time. You'll have to level up Aeris higher than I am when I fight the boss of the game anyway. Now go south past the river to Gongaga like Dio said. It looks like a large tree stump. ======================= Gongaga Pathway ======================= Go forward until you hear the Turks. That's a pretty lame joke. Go talk to them. It's not playing the boss music, but... ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Reno & Rude Rec. Level: 14 HP: 2,000 each Weak: None Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ These guys aren't too hard. Use up any magic with ALLs first. As always, Poison is a good idea. Just use Limit Breaks, revive anyone who's down and cure anyone who's low in HP. You'll get a FAIRY TALE for winning. It's a weapon for Aeris. Go to the upper-right. When the screen changes, run to the blown-up reactor. ======================= Gongaga Reactor ======================= Run to the other end. After the loser crew leaves, check where Scarlet was looking for the TITAN summon materia. Leave. ======================= Gongaga Pathway ======================= Run back to where you battled the Turks, then run past it. After the screen changes, run under the log. If you go right at the fork, you'll get to Main Gongaga, which doesn't contain very much. You can go into Zack's Parents' House, where Zack's parents will ask you where he is. That's about it. So go left. Take the DEATHBLOW materia and continue out. ======================= World Map ======================= Now go west. This is where I recommend that you run in the forests and get Yuffie. First, you'll fight her. Then after you win, you'll get choices. Here, again, are the correct answers: DON'T GO TO THE SAVE POINT OR ACCESS THE MENU. Q: One more time, let's go one more time! A: Not interested. Q: You're pretty scared of me, huh?! A: Petrified... Q: I'm gonna leave! I mean it! A: Wait a second! Q: So you want me to go with you? A: That's right Q: All right! I'll go with you! A: Let's hurry That should do it. You may have to fight a bunch of times to find her, though. When you're finished, go west until you run into the ocean. Then go north until you cross the river. Navigate yourself through the canyon until you come to a city. If you try to go past it, your buggy will break down. So just stop there and enter the city. ======================= Cosmo Canyon ======================= Talk to the man under the sign. Choose No. Then run up the stairs and talk to Red XIII. Follow your friends into the Weapons Shop. ======================= Cosmo Weapons Shop ======================= Woo! Weapons for everyone! And SILVER ARMLETs! Buy weapons for your main party and head up the stairs and outside. ======================= Cosmo Canyon ======================= Go up the stairs and through the entryway. ======================= Secret Tunnel Entrance ======================= There's a materia shop here. Climb up the ladder here. ======================= Bugenhagen's Front Yard ======================= Go inside the house. ======================= Bugenhagen's House ======================= Talk to Red XIII. Then leave. ======================= Bugenhagen's Front Yard ======================= Climb down the ladder. ======================= Secret Tunnel Entrance ======================= Go through the door furthest to the right. ======================= Cosmo Kitchen ======================= Talk to Cait Sith. Pick TWO other people to go with you and leave. ======================= Secret Tunnel Entrance ======================= Climb back up the ladder. ======================= Bugenhagen's Front Yard ======================= Enter Bugenhagen's house. ======================= Bugenhagen's House ======================= Now go through the door by the table. ======================= Cosmo Observatory ======================= Talk to Bugenhagen. _Cutscene_ _Cutscene_ Leave. ======================= Bugenhagen's House ======================= Leave. ======================= Bugenhagen's Front Yard ======================= Climb down. ======================= Secret Tunnel Entrance ======================= Go out. ======================= Cosmo Canyon ======================= Descend the stairs and go through the hole. ======================= Cosmo Weapons Shop ======================= Go down the stairs and out. ======================= Cosmo Canyon ======================= Go down the stairs and to the fire in the middle of the canyon. Talk to the characters in this order: Aeris, Tifa, Barret, Red XIII. Then, choose your party and head back into the Weapons Shop. ======================= Cosmo Weapons Shop ======================= Save here. Then head up the stairs and out. ======================= Cosmo Canyon ======================= Follow Bugenhagen into the Secret Tunnel Entrance. ======================= Secret Tunnel Entrance ======================= I'm sure you haven't figured this out, but this room is actually the entrance to a secret tunnel. Go talk to Bugenhagen. ======================= Cosmo Ladder Area ======================= Climb down all the chutes and ladders ;-) to the hole at the bottom. ======================= Secret Tunnel ======================= Here you'll find yourself in a BUNCH of battles. There aren't any items you can get YET, but there's a bunch of weird-shaped rocks you can break open. The only one your REALLY NEED to break open is the odd shaped one. It's the one in the 3rd cave. After you're finished, go through the cave that opened due to you breaking the rock. ======================= Slippery Tunnel ======================= See that brown stuff in the upper-left corner of the screen? If you run on it, you won't be able to stop until you hit some spikes. Yes, it hurts. Go across the brown stuff and head down. ======================= Secret Tunnel ======================= Take the ADDED EFFECT materia and go back. ======================= Slippery Tunnel ======================= Go back to the path on the right side of the screen. Head up, then when you see a small stairway leading down, go down it. Once down here, continue down the left pathway for a BLACK M-PHONE. Then go to the end of the upper-right pathway for an ETHER. Now go back up the stairs and go through the way in the upper-left corner of the screen. ======================= 5-Way Cave ======================= Alright. From left to right, caves 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1 leads to 5. 2 leads to the place you need to go. 3 leads to a dead end. 4 leads to a Stinger and an X-POTION. 5 leads to 1. Caves 2 & 4 both lead to spider webs. At them, you'll fight Stingers. They're big spiders with 2200 HP. They're not too hard and it doesn't play boss music, but they're definitely worth listing. To get a FAIRY RING, go through cave 2, then go through the cave at the bottom left corner. Hold down and right and you'll end up on the same ledge as that treasure chest. The FAIRY RING is inside. When you're finished, go through the second spider web. You'll have to fight another Stinger. After you destroy him, run past him but hug the left wall. Eventually, you'll go down a path you didn't see before. You'll get to a treasure chest with a TURBO ETHER. Now go through the hole in the top part of the screen. ======================= Gi Nattak Battle Room ======================= If you don't have your FIRE RING equipped, put it on your favorite character now. Go check out that ugly face. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Gi Nattak & Soul Fires Rec. Level: 22 HP: 5,500 & 1,300 Weak: Holy Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Wait....what the heck is Holy power? Well, when you bring someone back to life, that's kinda holy. So... It's kinda a secret, but use PHOENIX DOWNs. You may have to beat him in a little before they start working, but you should definitely use them. His little firey friends can use ONLY Fire2. It heals them, but they can enter one of your friends' body and use Fire2. If you don't have the FIRE RING or some other protective accessory or armlet, it will hurt. However, they do have limited MP and will eventually not be able to do anything. The big guy is pretty weak. Keep attacking with magic and physical attacks. That is, if you're out of PHOENIX DOWNs or something. You'll get a WIZER STAFF for winning. After the battle, take the GRAVITY materia and head out of the cave. ======================= Grave of the Warrior Seto ======================= _Cutscene_ ======================= Cosmo Canyon ======================= Choose your party and leave. Good. I like Red XIII in that...very strong party member kinda way. ======================= World Map ======================= Hop back in the buggy and head north to the next dot on this continent. You may find it strangely familiar... NOTE: You got the SERAPH COMB. It's a weapon for Red XIII. ======================= Nibelheim ======================= Whoa. NOTE: There's a bunch of people in black capes here. Some of them have items. There's a guy by a furnace in Tifa's house that will give you a TURBO ETHER, a guy in the southeastern-most house on the second floor that'll give you a LUCK SOURCE, another dude in the General Store with an ELIXIR, and finally, a man outside the Shinra Mansion who will give you a MIND PLUS. You can run around talking to people here, but they'll all say the town never burnt down. Enter the Shinra Mansion when you're done. ======================= Shinra Mansion ======================= NOTE: This is where you can get the second secret character, Vincent Valentine. Although his last name isn't too great, he's really cool-lookin. If you check the note on the left side of the room, it'll say there's 4 numbers in the combination to a safe containing the key to get to the person whoever wrote this put to sleep. HINT #1: The lid of the box with the most oxygen. HINT #2: Behind the Ivory's short of tea and ray. HINT #3: The creek in the floor near the chair on the second floor... then to the left five steps, up nine steps, left two steps, and up six steps. HINT #4: Huh? I thought there were 4 numbers. It's invisible. The hint is: The fourth row has been written in invisible ink. Dial (4) is (Right 97) Alright. So the 4th number is 97. This from kailvamp11: "You open a chest on the third or second floor I cant remember but anyways the number is written on the lid of the chest it is in a room with many plants". So yeah. The number is 36. Okay. Now if you go through the doorway to the left of the stairs, you'll find a piano. Hey...Behind the Ivory's short of tea and ray. Check behind the piano. BOOM! (Left 10) written on the floor. If you actually follow HINT #3, you'll get to (Right 59). So the entire passcode is: 36, 10, 59, 97. If you go up the stairs to the West Shinra Mansion, you'll find a safe. Type in the combination in 20 seconds to unlock it. You'll have to fight a rather challenging boss, though, so you might want to save first. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Lost Number Rec. Level: 30 HP: 7,000 Weak: None Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ That's right. I recommend that you level up to Lv. 30 before taking him on. He has no weaknesses and no strengths. He's just really strong. After a while, he changes colors. If you had previously been using a lot of magic, use physical attacks. If you had been using physical attacks, use magic. When he dies, you'll get the COSMO MEMORY, Red XIII's Lv. 4 Limit Break. You'll also get ODIN summon materia and the KEY TO THE BASEMENT. After you beat him, go to the mansion and unlock the door you passed in Cloud's flashback. Select the coffin. It'll open and Vincent will talk to you. When you get the choice, talk about Sephiroth. Keep trying to talk to him until he says "Let me be alone". Then leave and try to go up the stairs. Vincent will come out and decide to join you. NOTE: In the West Shinra Mansion, there's also a treasure chest that contains the ENEMY LAUNCHER, a weapon for Barret. In the East Shinra Mansion, there's a MAGIC SOURCE. Head up the stairs to the East Shinra Mansion. ======================= East Shinra Mansion ======================= Go into the secret stairway. ======================= Shinra Mansion Secret Stairs ======================= Go all the way to the bottom. ======================= Shinra Mansion Tunnel ======================= Run into the lab at the end. ======================= Shinra Mansion Lab ======================= Run to the other side of the lab. Hey! Sephiroth threw some materia at you! Perhaps next time he'll throw us some money! Take the DESTRUCT materia and leave. ======================= Shinra Mansion Tunnel ======================= Run to the stairs. ======================= Shinra Mansion Secret Stairs ======================= Go up the stairs. ======================= East Shinra Mansion ======================= Go back to the main part of the mansion. ======================= Shinra Mansion ======================= Leave. ======================= Nibelheim ======================= Go north, past the Shinra Mansion. We're going past Mt. Nibel like Sephiroth said. ======================= World Map ======================= Looks like it's bye-bye buggy. Head north to Mt. Nibel. ======================= Mt. Nibel Path 1 ======================= FIGHT ALL OF THE BATTLES YOU GET INTO. Well, if you have Vincent then you don't need to, but otherwise fight them! They're a good source of EXP and the next boss is pretty hard. Run along the path until you get a chance to go up. Go up until you come to the treasure chest. Inside, you'll find a RUNE BLADE. Climb back down and go to the bridge. NOTE: If you go the way Cloud and Sephiroth went in the flashback, you can get a SNIPER CR and some ELEMENTAL materia. The SNIPER CR is a stinky but accurate weapon for Vincent. ======================= Mt. Nibel Bridge ======================= Go to the other side of the bridge. ======================= 5-Pipe Passage ======================= BEFORE you go down any pipes, climb down the ladders until you come to a ladder only halfway down. Get on it to lower it down. Now go back up to the pipes. Pipe #1: Very bottom, by save point. Pipe #2: POWERSOUL (Weapon for Tifa). Pipe #3: The level above the lowest level. Pipe #4: ALL materia, in treasure chest Pipe #5: The level above the lowest level. Get what you want, then SAVE at the save point, heal up, and talk to the big blue multi-headed bird. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Materia Keeper Rec. Level: 25 HP: 8,400 Weak: Ice Strong: Fire ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ He's actually pretty hard. Poison him to start out with and watch out for the Hell Combo. Use the Ice-type SHIVA when you can, and use Ice2 as often as possible. Limit Breaks help out as well. After you get him low in HP, he starts using Cure2 and Trine. Trine is very painful and hurts the entire party. It is an enemy skill, though, so if you survive it with the ENEMY SKILL materia equipped, you can use it against him. He doesn't take long after he uses Trine, though. Especially if you've poisoned him. The poison hurts him 250 every turn, so it's not that bad. After you kick his hiney, take the COUNTER materia he dropped. I'd equip it now. Go out the exit he was guarding. ======================= Mt. Nibel Path 3 ======================= Go around the bend. ======================= World Map ======================= Poor buggy. I'm gonna miss it. Go northwest to the final dot on this continent, Rocket Town! ======================= Rocket Town ======================= The weapons shop doesn't have much of anything EXCEPT they have GOLD ARMLETs! Woo! You can find some BARRIER, EXIT, and TIME materia at the materia shop. I never use any of it, but hey, maybe you do. When you're finished, go into the house closest to the rocket. ======================= Shera's House ======================= Take the DRILL ARM from the treasure chest, then head out the back door. ======================= Tiny Bronco Area ======================= Head back into the house. ======================= Shera's House ======================= Go out the front door. ======================= Rocket Town ======================= Head toward the rocket. ======================= Rocket Launch Pad ======================= Go up and down the stairs until you come to a large set of stairs. Go up them, then up the ladder, then into the rocket. ======================= Shinra No. 26 ======================= Talk to the man in blue. Woo! A named character! It's Cid, who's power is only surpassed by the number of bad words he can say in one minute. Ha. And you thought Barret was a potty mouth. When you get the choices, ask about the rocket. Then leave. ======================= Rocket Launch Pad ======================= Head back to the main part of the town. ======================= Rocket Town ======================= Go into Shera's House. ======================= Shera's House ======================= Run to the other side. I guess Squaresoft really likes to make people mad at each other without good reason. The people at Corel, and now Cid and Shera. _Cutscene_ Go out the front door. Well, let's go after Palmer! Out the back door and be prepared for the fight of your life! ======================= Tiny Bronco Area ======================= Hey wait...Broncos don't fly! Go talk to Palmer. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Palmer Rec. Level: -17.5 (yes, he's that easy) HP: 6,000 Weak: None Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ I could beat this guy in my sleep. Just keep attacking and heal if you accidentally hurt yourself or something. When he bends over to show you his better side, hit him harder. He leaves after you kick his butt. Then he gets hit by a truck...in Shera's back yard. You get an EDINCOAT for winning. QUICK! Get on the non-moving, but taking-off Tiny Bronco! _Cutscene_ Yaknow, maybe someone should get in the cockpit? _Cutscene_ Oh great. Broncos can't swim either. Now is when I recommend that you complete Yuffie's Sub-Quest, so that's what we're going to do now before we go to the Temple of Ancients. If you don't want to do Yuffie's Sub-Quest, press Ctrl+F to bring up the search function of your browser, and type in "peanuts". It'll take you to the place where Yuffie's Sub-Quest ends. So go just a little southwest and get off onto that brown continent. Once off the plane, go north. At the top of a mountain, Yuffie will take your materia and get you in a fight with Shinra soldiers. Grrr. I don't like her. Head north after the battle. Go across the 2 bridges, then head south, then east, then north under the bridge. Then go across the next bridge and up to Wutai, which happens to be the place Aeris' non-biological mom's husband was sent. Enter Wutai. ======================= Wutai ======================= Go into the building beside the save point. ======================= Item Shop ======================= Open the treasure chest for MP ABSORB materia! Woo! CRAP! Follow her! ======================= Wutai ======================= Now go into the building closest to the entrance. ======================= Wutai Residence ======================= MORE weirdos? Well...where's the other weirdos? Check the divider. HA! Grr. Follow her out. ======================= Wutai ======================= Where could that loser be? Hmm. Go all the way to the left side of the screen. Hey...that pot's moving! Check it! Punch it 3 times. ======================= Wutai Residence 2 ======================= Follow Yuffie downstairs. Talk to her. Choose whichever lever you want. It yields the same outcome. Leave. ======================= Wutai ======================= Now go up the path in the northwest corner of the town. ======================= Battle Tower Courtyard ======================= Go through the doorway on the left and pull that stick. It reveals some doors. Go in them. ======================= Wutai Secret Room ======================= Oh great. Don Corneo. In the treasure chests you'll find a SWIFT BOLT and an ELIXIR. Head up the stairs. ======================= Yuffie's House ======================= Go to the southeastern room and open the secret door. Go through to find a treasure chest. Inside is a HAIRPIN. How helpful. It's a long range weapon for Red XIII. Leave out the front door. ======================= Battle Tower Courtyard ======================= Talk to Reno. Follow him away. ======================= Wutai ======================= NOTE: At this point, you should stock up on FIRE VEILs and SWIFT BOLTs at the Item Shop. Just because you don't have materia doesn't mean you can't use magic! Run to the save point, then go northeast until the screen changes. ======================= Da-Chao Path ======================= Go north until the screen changes. Then go up and around the head until the screen changes. Go into the cave you can see toward the top of the screen. ======================= Firey Cave ======================= There's a DRAGOON LANCE in the green chest. Remember this place, as it will be of some use to you after you acquire the LEVIATHAN SCALES. Leave the way you came in. ======================= Da-Chao Path ======================= Go to the end of the path to the southwest. ======================= Corneo Way ======================= ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Rapps Rec. Level: 30 HP: 6,000 Weak: None Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ This guy's actually pretty hard. Start out with Barret's Mindblow Limit Break. That keeps him from using his powerful 1500 HP Aero3 attack. Just keep using your SWIFT BOLTs and FIRE VEILs. Use X-POTIONs when you get low, and that should just about do it. As long as you take away his MP at the beginning, he's not hard. You get a PEACE RING for winning. Corneo asks you a question, giving you these choices: 1 Because he's ready to die. 2 Because he's sure to win. 3 Because he's clueless. It's always #2! Well, I guess when you're dealing with the Turks, it's: 4 Because it's our job. And that's Yuffie's sub-quest. You might want to try to work your way up the Battle Tower. However, I recommend that Yuffie is in Level 30 before you try it. Come back later when you have the LEVIATHAN SCALES. ======================= World Map ======================= Head south, back to the Tiny Bronco. Get on. I like peanuts. Those of you joining us from Rocket Town, we're going to find the Temple of the Ancients. The Temple of the Ancients is the dot at the bottom of the map, toward the middle. However, you'll need the KEYSTONE to get in, and the man who has it resides in the Gold Saucer. That's right. Dio. There's no way there for the Tiny Bronco, so find your way back to the Buggy. You may want to try to get Vincent now, since you're in the Nibelheim area. Here's the "getting Vincent" information: NOTE: This is where you can get the second secret character, Vincent Valentine. Although his last name isn't too great, he's really cool-lookin. If you check the note on the left side of the room, it'll say there's 4 numbers in the combination to a safe containing the key to get to the person whoever wrote this put to sleep. HINT #1: The lid of the box with the most oxygen. HINT #2: Behind the Ivory's short of tea and ray. HINT #3: The creek in the floor near the chair on the second floor... then to the left five steps, up nine steps, left two steps, and up six steps. HINT #4: Huh? I thought there were 4 numbers. It's invisible. The hint is: The fourth row has been written in invisible ink. Dial (4) is (Right 97) Alright. So the 4th number is 97. This from kailvamp11: "You open a chest on the third or second floor I cant remember but anyways the number is written on the lid of the chest it is in a room with many plants". So yeah. The number is 36. Okay. Now if you go through the doorway to the left of the stairs, you'll find a piano. Hey...Behind the Ivory's short of tea and ray. Check behind the piano. BOOM! (Left 10) written on the floor. If you actually follow HINT #3, you'll get to (Right 59). So the entire passcode is: 36, 10, 59, 97. If you go up the stairs to the West Shinra Mansion, you'll find a safe. Type in the combination in 20 seconds to unlock it. You'll have to fight a rather challenging boss, though, so you might want to save first. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Lost Number Rec. Level: 30 HP: 7,000 Weak: None Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ That's right. I recommend that you level up to Lv. 30 before taking him on. He has no weaknesses and no strengths. He's just really strong. If he changes to a different color, try attacking without using magic. When he dies, you'll get the COSMO MEMORY, Red XIII's Lv. 4 Limit Break. You'll also get ODIN summon materia and the KEY TO THE BASEMENT. After you beat him, go to the mansion and unlock the door you passed in Cloud's flashback. Select the coffin. It'll open and Vincent will talk to you. When you get the choice, talk about Sephiroth. Keep trying to talk to him until he says "Let me be alone". Then leave and try to go up the stairs. Vincent will come out and decide to join you. Once on the Buggy, make your way back to Corel, located north of the giant sand pit to the east. ======================= Corel ======================= Head west to the Tram Station. ======================= Tram Station ======================= Board the tram. ======================= Gold Saucer Entrance ======================= Buy a ticket if you need to and enter. ======================= Station Square ======================= Go to Battle Square. ======================= Battle Square ======================= Run up the stairs until the screen changes, then go up the stairs to the right and through the doorway. ======================= Dio's Show Room ======================= Check that spinning egg. Choose What do I gotta do? when you get the chance. Good luck. It's fully-randomized. Battle until you can't battle any more. Regardless of how good you do, you get the KEYSTONE. If you do good, though, Dio will throw in some extra items. Leave when you're done. ======================= Battle Square ======================= Head back to Station Square. ======================= Station Square ======================= Go out. ======================= Gold Saucer Entrance ======================= Talk to the man in front of the tram. Pfft. Hope there's not a fire. ======================= Hotel Square ======================= Just stay away from Barret...he's got the Cetra. ======================= Event Square ======================= You get to act out in a play. It's not hard to figure out what you're SUPPOSED to do, but hey, it's fun to mess things up. If you do good, you'll get to kiss her. If you do bad, you'll get slapped. Hard. Wow. How realistic can a game get? ======================= Round Square ======================= Man. And it's boring too. The developers at Squaresoft must have been on dates before. Push the correct directional button to see what Aeris is looking at. _Cutscenes_ Wow. She doesn't make sense either. The people at Squaresoft are brilliant. ======================= Station Square ======================= Follow Cait Sith to the Battle Square! ======================= Battle Square ======================= Follow him to Speed Square. ======================= Speed Square ======================= To Wonder Square! ======================= Wonder Square ======================= Go talk to him, then follow him to Chocobo Square. ======================= Chocobo Square ======================= Run into the Race Registration. ======================= Race Registration ======================= Chase Cait Sith around and out. ======================= Chocobo Square ======================= Darn. ======================= Hotel Square Bedroom ======================= Check that weird cabinet in the corner for an ELIXIR. Leave. ======================= Hotel Square ======================= Leave. Go to Station Square. ======================= Station Square ======================= Exit to the tram. ======================= Gold Saucer Entrance ======================= Board the tram. ======================= Tram Station ======================= Go back to Corel. ======================= Corel ======================= Exit to the World Map. ======================= World Map ======================= Alright. Now let's go to the Temple of the Ancients. As mentioned before, it's the dot in the bottom middle. To get there, you need to first get back to the Tiny Bronco. Then you need to head north up above the middle-western continent, then head east all the way around the eastern continent. After you head south around the tip of the east island, you should be heading toward Fort Condor. Finally, go west around the islands to that dot we mentioned earlier. Get off the Tiny Bronco and walk to the Temple. ======================= Temple Courtyard ======================= Run up the stairs in front of you. Check that dude's body too. ======================= Temple Entrance ======================= Hmm. With enemies like that, who needs friends? Put the KEYSTONE in place. I think they could have thought of something better than floating through the floor. ======================= Temple Maze ======================= Woo. Looks like fun, eh? I'm going to guide you through this. Try not to get lost. Run up the short steps in front of you. Go down the ramp. Climb down the vines. Open the treasure chest for a TRIDENT. Run down the stairs, climb up the vines. Run up the stairs and take the TURBO ETHER. Climb up the vines here, then take the MIND SOURCE. Go down the stairs and through the doorway. ======================= Nyum Nyum's Room ======================= Hey. I couldn't think of anything else. There's a SILVER RIFLE in the chest. Talk to the weird man for a lecture. Then you can buy stuff from him, rest, or save your game. Well, you can sell him stuff, too, but what would he need your stuff for? Yep. Back to the maze. ======================= Temple Maze ======================= Go up the stairs and down the vines. Go down through the doorway. Go down the huge stairway. Go through the doorway and down the steps. Climb down the vines. Take the ROCKET PUNCH, Barret's coolest looking weapon, from the chest. Go down the stairs and up the vines. Go up the stairs, through the doorway, and down the stairs. Climb the vines and take the LUCK PLUS, then climb back down. Go up the stairs, through the doorway, and down the stairs. Go through the doorway, then through the next doorway. We'll get that other chest later. ======================= Boulder Passage ======================= Alright. All those boulders have one little nook in them that if you are in that nook, you won't be crushed. Use that to your advantage. If you DO get crushed, you'll be sent back to the beginning. After you get to the pool, your point where you go when you're crushed is changed to there. Continue to the end where the boulders stop. When you get to the end, Aeris will have you return to the pool. After her talking, take the MORPH materia and head to the end you haven't been through yet. The Nyum Nyum guy's there, too. ======================= Clock Room ======================= This room is NOT fun. Here's the rooms and where they lead. 1 - A treasure chest containing a battle with a Jemnezmy and 2 Frogs. 2 - Blocked. 3 - A treasure chest containing a battle with 2 "8 eye a"s. They're hard. 4 - A treasure chest containing the PRINCESS GUARD, Aeris' ultimate weapon. 5 - That treasure chest in the Temple Maze, contains a RIBBON. 6 - Go here to progress. 7 - A treasure chest containing the TRUMPET SHELL, a weapon for Cait Sith. 8 - A treasure chest containing a MEGALIXIR. 9 - Blocked. 10- Where you came in. 11- Blocked. 12- Dead end for now. If you get bored, you might want to get knocked off one of the hands by the second hand. You'll have to fight 2 Ancient Dragons. They have 2400 HP and are pretty powerful. They're weak against wind. The ODIN summon seems to work pretty well on these bad boys. You get 1600 EXP for winning. There's also a treasure chest down here containing the NAIL BAT, a weapon for Cloud. It's extremely powerful, but has no materia slots. It's good if you don't use much magic. You'll end up back in the Temple Maze when you're finished. As mentioned above, go into doorway #6 when you're ready. NOTE: Doorway #4 is marked as IIII. Shouldn't it be IV? ======================= Chasing Room ======================= Alright. You need to go in the same door the guy's going to come out. Here's the doors excluding the one leading out: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Here's where the doors lead to: 4 7 9 2 6 3 8 5 1 So there you go. If he goes into doorway #4 from the first drawing, YOU go into doorway #2 from the second drawing. The WORK GLOVE, a weapon for Tifa, is in the treasure chest at the bottom. After you catch him he'll unlock the door and let you save and rest. Go into the bottom-right door to get you back to the top-left door, then go through the door that's unlocked now. ======================= Murals Room ======================= Go to the right until you come to the end. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Red Dragon Rec. Level: 32 HP: 6,800 Weak: None Strong: Fire ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ This guy's actually pretty hard. As usual, Poison him first. Ice doesn't do particularly well on him. Use Cloud's Limit Breaks on him as much as you can. They'll do the most damage. Use Aeris' Limit Breaks to heal yourself, and have her throw people X-POTIONs and stuff as they get hurt. After you kick his butt, you get a DRAGON ARMLET. You'll also find some BAHAMUT summon materia. When you can, go check out that floating black pyramid. It doesn't matter what you choose to do, Aeris will stop you anyway. Hey! Looks like PHS Cellular set up a tower near here. Choose to believe Cait Sith when he calls. After that, leave. ======================= Chasing Room ======================= REST with the Nyum Nyum and save. You have ANOTHER boss coming up, and he's the first boss that will take more than one hit no matter what level you're in. Go out the door on the right. ======================= Clock Room ======================= Go through doorway #12, as if you have a choice. ======================= Temple Battle Room ======================= Go check the door. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Demons Gate Rec. Level: 35 HP: 10,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ YOU MUST ATTACK QUICKLY. If you go slow, he'll crack an egg above your head and probably kill you in one hit. He doesn't have a weakness. This boss is even harder than the last. Use lots of summons, including BAHAMUT. Battling is kinda boring too, because it just shows the back of him, which is a wall. Grr. I wish he had a weakness. If you get a nice hit on him, he'll sit there in a stupor for a second. But still hurry, it doesn't last long. This wouldn't be so hard if you didn't have to have stupid Aeris in your party. You can level up in the Murals Room if you're not high enough. For me, attacks seem to be working better than any magic, so you might want to try out that NAIL BAT if you got it. After the battle, you'll get a GIGAS ARMLET and Cait Sith will show up if he's not in your party. He acts like he's gonna die and all, but he's just a stuffed animal, remember? ======================= Temple Courtyard ======================= Booyeah! The BLACK MATERIA. You control Cloud as a kid, but you can't do anything. :-\. ======================= Gongaga Inn ======================= There's an X-POTION in the treasure chest here. Leave. ======================= Gongaga ======================= Go down the path leading out of town. ======================= Gongaga Path ======================= Go to the left, to the end. ======================= World Map ======================= Wait...why are we at Gongaga? Who cares. The Tiny Bronco is just south of your current position. Hop on. You'll have to go east, past where the Temple was. Then go up and around to the top of the eastern continent. Go to the southeastern dot on the northern continent. It's the Bone Village. ======================= Bone Village ======================= If you climb up the ladder and go out the exit there, you'll find yourself in a never-ending forest. You need the LUNAR HARP to make it stop doing that. So talk to the man in the doorway and tell him to Start diggin'. When he gives you the choices, choose Lunar Harp. Put all the people at the top of the ladder, on the upper area. Spread them out. If you can't figure it out, the LUNAR HARP is located just to the right of the smoke and up just a little from the cliff. After you get it, buy some DIAMOND BANGLEs from the man and continue into the forest on the upper level of the village. ======================= Sleeping Forest ======================= Run into the light. Then when the screen changes, you can see a little red dot floating around. It goes from left to right. So if you miss it on the left side, go to the right side. When you get it, it's the KUJATA materia. Kujata is a large warthog. After you get that, go to the brighter end of the path. ======================= Road to the City of the Ancients ======================= There's a treasure chest here containing a WATER RING. Run up the rock stairs and through the log. Then go to the end. After the screen changes, run along the strange path to the end. NOTE: I just discovered that the SILVER RIFLE is blue. ======================= World Map ======================= Well, continue to that mushroom-looking thing north of you. ======================= City of the Ancients ======================= Go forward and at the junction, go right. Take the first right and go into the building. ======================= Ancient Residence ======================= Go to the top, where you'll find a treasure chest containing a GUARD SOURCE. Leave. ======================= City of the Ancients ======================= Continue down the path into the next building. ======================= Ancient Inn ======================= The treasure chest here contains an ELIXIR. Then climb up the ladder and say no when your friends ask you to take a nap. Run past the beds for some ENEMY SKILL materia. Now take a nap. You might have to exit and come back in. Leave. ======================= City of the Ancients ======================= Go back to the entrance, then go straight at the junction, leading into a mushroom-ish area. ======================= Shady Path ======================= Run to the end. ======================= Ancient Lake ======================= Go into the large shell. ======================= Ancient Shell ======================= Go to the top and take the powerful COMET materia. Then go down the blue steps. ======================= Secret Lower City ======================= Run down the stairs into the city. SAVE at the save point, then go down more stairs and jump across the columns to the little place where Aeris is. NOTE: Put the WATER RING on a character with ENEMY SKILL and some healing magic. ======================= Ancient Praying Point ======================= Go talk to Aeris. You can't, because Sephiroth is controlling your body. Just keep trying to talk to her until you chop her up. ;-) Eventually, you'll see most likely the coolest _Cutscene_ in the game. Wow. That was pretty cool. And sad. Very sad. NOTE: REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK, AERIS CANNOT BE REVIVED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. That's right. I've tried them all. NOBODY has any kind of proof or anything. So get over it. She's dead. Great. Now we have to fight a boss without cool music. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Jenova LIFE Rec. Level: 35 HP: 10,000 Weak: Earth Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Use your Quake or Quake2 if you have it when you can. However, this guy really isn't that hard, so he doesn't need a weakness. That last boss, however, DID. Bahamut works well, as usual. Bahamut is the man. Just keep attacking. WATCH OUT FOR AQUALUNG. You'll be almost completely protected if you have the AQUA RING equipped. Don't be scared to let Vincent use his magic-related limit breaks, either. Jenova's Reflect can't reflect the Berserk Dance or the Beast Flare. You'll get a WIZARD BRACELET for winning. After you win, you'll want to slap Squaresoft if you have Vincent in your party. Vincent's cape is way up in the air and his leg is up like he's doing a kick line on a dance team. If you have a girl in your party, they'll hug ya. Even Yuffie. She barely knew Aeris. Guys, however, won't hug you. Vincent walks away with his cape still up and his foot touching his head. ======================= Ancient Lake ======================= Probably up there on the list of the top cutscenes, you'll see a _Cutscene_ BOOM! That's Disc 1. It's the longest, so don't get upset. Well, Disc 2's about the same, but Disc 3 is extremely short. ======================= City of the Ancients ======================= Well, Sephiroth said he's going north and we're already on the northern-most continent, so we can't be too far. Follow Sephiroth to the end of that path. ======================= Shell Area ======================= There's a VIPER HALBERD in the treasure chest here. After you get that, jump from spike to spike, up the shell. Then run up and through the shell, then out on top of it. Jump onto the cliff and into the cave. ======================= Ancient Cave ======================= Go to the 2nd crack in the wall and climb up. Choose to go left. Then climb up that crack and choose to go right. Go to the crack at the end and choose to go down. Open the treasure chest for a HYPNOCROWN. Climb up the crack and choose to go left. Then go left to the crack at the end. Choose to go up, then take the BOLT ARMLET from the chest at the top. Climb back down and go to the right. Jump back on the crack to the right and go up. Choose right at the top, and take the MEGALIXIR from the chest. Jump back into the crack, go up and go left. Continue to the next crack, then go up. At the top, run to the ladder and choose to go down. Take the slightly hidden MAGIC PLUS materia. Climb back up. When you get off, get back on and go up. Run into the cave on the left. Take the POWER SOURCE from the chest, then go into the blue part of the cave. ======================= World Map ======================= Walk to the final dot that you haven't been to (other than Mideel in the southeast). It shouldn't be too hard to get there. You'll find yourself in Icicle Inn. ======================= Icicle Inn ======================= Well, yea, but it's a city. In the weapons shop, you'll find weapons for just about everyone. Except for, of course, Aeris. Boo hoo. Go into the house furthest to the right. ======================= Icicle Residence ======================= There's a HERO DRINK and a VACCINE in that room and the GLACIER MAP on the wall. Be sure you take it. Leave. ======================= Icicle Inn ======================= Now go to the far end of the town and talk to that guy. When you get the choice, choose "I'm still going". Elena will show up and she wants to punch you. What a loser. Keep pushing left to dodge it. If you don't, you'll be put in a house which we're going to go to next anyway, so don't worry about it. Go into the house next to the weapons shop. ======================= Video Room ======================= Check one of the computers for a chance to watch 3, count 'em, 3 informative videos. One contains Ifalna, Aeris' momma, one contains information about Weapon, one contains information about Aeris' daddy, and the last one shows Hojo as a young man. They're all boring, but for story freaks like me, they're fun. However, the reason I brought you in here is the TURBO ETHER located beside the bed downstairs. Get it and leave. ======================= Icicle Inn ======================= Now go into the house in the middle of the town with the dog beside the door. ======================= Snowboarder's House ======================= Go talk to the kid in the back and he'll give you his SNOWBOARD. Wow. Leave. ======================= Icicle Inn ======================= Now go back and talk to that guy at the far side of town again. He'll tell you how to ride a snowboard. Run to the right of him to the slope. ======================= Icicle Slope ======================= Go all the way to the bottom. Wow. There's a bunch of turns and stuff. Go right on every turn. Well, you don't have to, but this walkthrough is going to assume you did. I'll tell you how to find your way at the bottom. ======================= Strange Place ======================= Whoa. You're at the cave in the southeast corner of the map. You need to get to the check mark on the map. It's not that hard, just head north until you get to a "world map-ish" view. NOTE: Some walkthroughs recommend that you battle a little and wait. If you do this, you'll faint, and a man will save you and take you to his cabin. We'll end up there eventually, but for now just go to the world map-ish place. Whoa. Here you can find an ALL materia, a SAFETY BIT, a MIND SOURCE, an ELIXIR, and the ALEXANDER summon materia. Most of this stuff you probably couldn't care less about, except for the ALEXANDER summon. To get this, you need to find the hot springs in the glacier area first. Touch them. Now you need to find the cabin at the base of Gaea's Cliff. After you get there, go back to the Snowy Area and go east. After the screen changes, head right until you see a cave. Go inside and talk to that man a bunch of times. You'll have to battle him, but he's not that hard. At the end of the battle, you'll get the ALEXANDER summon materia. ======================= Snowy Area ======================= You need to go north, but leave markers or you won't know which way north is. If you end up in a snowy passage, that's bad. If you find yourself in front of a house, then you're good. ======================= Base of Gaea's Cliff ======================= Go into the house. ======================= Gaea's Cliff House ======================= Go into the next room and talk to the man. Then head into the last room. After the man's touching story, save at the save point and leave. ======================= Base of Gaea's Cliff ======================= Go up the hill. ======================= Side of Gaea's Cliff ======================= You need to climb up the mountain, stopping at the flat parts to raise your body temperature. Push the button the man in the cabin told you to repeatedly to raise your body temperature. It can't go above 38 and if it goes below 28 you'll find yourself back in that cabin. So climb up to the cave at the top. ======================= Gaea's Cliff Cave 1 ======================= NOTE: Every time you go in or out of a room, I'll skip a line. Run straight ahead through the doorway. Run up the stairs and through the hole up there. Go across the ice bridge and try to run through the wall. You'll go through a secret passage leading to a chest with a RIBBON inside. Go back out and up. You'll find another chest with a JAVELIN inside. Go through the cave here. Run up through the cave and you'll come out on top with a boulder. Push it. Then go back out the way you came in. Go through the other caveway on the upper level. Now that the boulder crushed those stalactites (man, I feel smart), run over where they were and through the hole. You'll come out at a higher place. Follow the path to the end. Run out the cave at the other end. ======================= Side of Gaea's Cliff ======================= Climb up the side. When you get a choice, choose "up". The rest of it should be pretty much one-way. ======================= Gaea's Cliff Cave 2 ======================= Save at the save point if you want, then go out the cave to the right. Run around the bend then follow the path back toward the cave. ======================= Upper Gaea's Cliff ======================= There's a FIRE ARMLET in the chest to the right here. Here, you'll fight 4 servings of Bats and Icicles. The icicles aren't that hard. They have 3,000 HP and 300 MP (?). They're also weak against Fire, Earth, and Gravity. You don't really have to fight the Bats, just the Icicles. NOTE: Don't try it. The Icicles CAN'T be poisoned. :'-( Anyway, beat them all and take the MEGALIXIR. Then jump down to the room below. ======================= Gaea's Cliff Cave 2 ======================= You can climb up one of the icicles on the left to get to a chest containing a SPEED SOURCE. Then jump across the icicles in the middle to the exit. There's an ENHANCE SWORD in the chest. Take it, then run to the end of the path. ======================= Upper Gaea's Cliff ======================= Run to the end. ======================= Side of Gaea's Cliff ======================= Climb it. Choose "up" both times. ======================= Gaea's Cliff Cave 3 ======================= I highly recommend you save at the save point now. There's a boss coming up and he'll probably be pretty hard for someone who HASN'T been wandering around the Glacier area forever. Continue to the other end. NOTE: Be SURE to use the FIRE ARMLET and FIRE RING. The DRAGON ARMLET helps out as well. I'd spread them out amongst your party. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Schizo (Left) Rec. Level: 40 HP: 18,000 Weak: None Strong: Fire, Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Schizo (Right) Rec. Level: 40 HP: 18,000 Weak: None Strong: Ice, Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ As usual, Bahamut is the man. These guys are really annoying. One of them is a fire type and one is an ice type. So try not to use either one with an ALL. Otherwise, you'll heal one and hurt the other. With all the items I mentioned above, you are well protected from the Left Schizo. Fight as well as you can and eventually the two will join forces. When they both shoot at you at the same time, if you have the FIRE ARMLET or FIRE RING, you'll be unhurt. If you listened to me and put the FIRE ARMLET on Vincent and used his Limit Break, he will be fully-healed every time the losers attack, except for when they use Quake3. I usually end up beating him with only Vincent alive. However, it's very possible to beat him without Vincent. After one of them dies, they can use a powerful attack that looks like a combo of Bolt3 and Quake. COMET works pretty well, too. When the first one goes down and you get that powerful attack, you're close to victory. The last guy just basically uses his Ice breathing move. Sometimes Quake3, but usually just Ice breath. The second guy goes out the same way as the first guy. After the battle, you get a DRAGON FANG. Continue down the path. ======================= Side of Gaea's Cliff ======================= Make the final climb up the side of the cliff here. _Cutscene_ ======================= Crater Hill ======================= Run down the hill. Check the bodies of any guys that drop in front of you. Run forward. Oh great. Tifa. For me, she's only 9 levels down anyway. !!! Run to the end. ======================= Whirlwind Maze ======================= Go along the passage. Take the ultra-important NEO BAHAMUT summon materia. He's even more powerful than BAHAMUT. Save if you want, then continue to the end. Ignore Rufus. After the screen changes, you can see a whirlwind. The trick is to go through when the wind is calm. If you mess up, you'll get knocked back and stuck in a battle. There's 2 black-caped men here. One has an ETHER and one has a HI-POTION. Continue to the end when you get through. ======================= Winding Canyon ======================= Get to that treasure chest. It has a KAISER KNUCKLE. Continue to the end. NOTE: Heh. There's some guys here that you can battle that look like the dude from the honeycomb commercial. ME WANT HONEYCOMB! ======================= Whirlwind Maze 2 ======================= The same as the first one, except now you have to avoid that green shockwave. ======================= Upper Canyon ======================= NOTE: I recommend that you prepare yourself like you did for the last boss. Run to meet Sephiroth. Oh great. Another Jenova boss. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Jenova DEATH Rec. Level: 40 HP: 25,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ I thought Aqualung would help, and it does, but not that much. If you have the FIRE ARMLET and FIRE RING equipped on different characters, this boss is no problem. His Red Light and Tropic Wind attacks are both Fire-type, so this boss is amazingly simple. You'll get a nice REFLECT RING for winning. It's great, but it reflects ALL magic, including healing magic. You'll get the BLACK MATERIA and have to give it to someone else. The only 2 people who will hold it is Red XIII and Barret. Give it to one of them, then talk to Tifa. Take the MP TURBO materia, then continue up the path to the end. There's a POISON RING in the treasure chest and a save point. There's really nothing to prepare for, but go ahead when you're finished. ======================= Whirlwind Maze 3 ======================= Don't worry. This is the last one. It's the same as last time, except now there's lightning and some gas to the left. After you get to the end, you'll strangely find yourself in ======================= Nibelheim ======================= Hmm. Talk to Tifa. NOTE: As far as I know, it's still a mystery about how the town burnt down. All I can assume is that the people rebuilt the town and forgot about it ever being destroyed. Talk to Sephiroth. Talk to Tifa. Talk to her again. ======================= Sephiroth's Grave ======================= !!! WEAPON !!! He's a big, scary, fun to watch in cutscenes, large, freaky, monster! Talk to Barret/Red XIII. When you're on top of the vine thing, run around until you see a _Cutscene_ Then, you'll see probably one of the coolest _Cutscene(s)_ It has Weapon, Sephiroth, Cloud, and everyone else. That's cool. After the cutscene, nothing will make sense. But it will later. ======================= Junon Window Room ======================= _Cutscene_ ======================= Junon Control Room ======================= Follow Tifa into the Junon Branch. ======================= Junon Branch ======================= Save if you want and arm yourself with some materia. Go down the stairs. Follow Tifa to the Steel Corridor. ======================= Steel Corridor ======================= Follow Tifa. ======================= Execution Observation Room ======================= Don't worry. Tifa will get a chance to get back at Scarlet. ======================= Gas Room ======================= How convenient. He dropped the key. ======================= Execution Observation Room ======================= Well, Weapon attacking is good and bad. Man, Barret can fight pretty well for having his hands tied behind his back. Check the door to the Gas Room. Press left, then up, then right. _3 Cutscenes_ Holy Bejeezers! What are we gonna do? Talk to Cait Sith and go out the door. ======================= Steel Corridor ======================= Go to the right to the exit at the end. ======================= Junon Cannon Platform ======================= Run down to the other end. If you've got Yuffie, you'll find a reporter here and a cameraman. Talk to the reporter. Hey! It's Yuffie! _Cutscene_ That doesn't look good. Continue to the end. ======================= Junon Airport ======================= Ride that elevator up. Then approach the Highwind. That's right...;-). ======================= Gas Room ======================= Press the LEGS button. Then press the HEAD button. Push the LEGS and HEAD buttons at the same time. Then push the HEAD and L ARM buttons. Finally, finish with the L ARM button. Press the orange button furthest from the door to turn off the gas. Then check the door. _Cutscene_ BOOM! Right in the head. ======================= Junon Cannon ======================= Climb down. Ignore the soldiers and Scarlet. When the screen changes, run to the end of the cannon. Eventually, Scarlet will catch up with you. Keep slapping the pansy! However, looks like all hope is lost... _Cutscene_ Hey. That's pretty cool. We got the Highwind. I mean...WOO! HECK YEA! WE GOT THE HIGHWIND! WOO-HOO! Enter the Highwind. ======================= Highwind Main Deck ======================= Follow the sign to the cockpit. ======================= Highwind Cockpit ======================= Talk to Red XIII, then Cid. Finally, talk to the pilot beside Cid and leave. ======================= Highwind Main Deck ======================= Enter the Operation Room. ======================= Operation Room ======================= Talk to the man and organize your party. Save if you want and leave. ======================= Highwind Main Deck ======================= Go into the Cockpit. ======================= Highwind Cockpit ======================= Talk to the pilot beside Cid and choose to take off. ======================= World Map ======================= We have to find Cloud! Well, you could spend the next hour looking for him, or you could search in coughMIDEELcough. Not that Mideel is the place or anything, but it's the most southeastern dot. ;-). Go to Mideel. ======================= Mideel ======================= The weapons shop here is selling weapons for everyone. I'd hit 'em up. You may want to buy something for Cid if you're not planning on it. NOTE: To get CONTAIN materia, go into the Weapons Shop and give the baby white chocobo some MIMETT GREENS and scratch behind its ears. After you're finished, talk to the dog in the middle of town. ======================= Highwind Main Deck ======================= I don't like the way Cid runs. Oh well. Go into the Operation Room. ======================= Operation Room ======================= Organize your party and save if you want. Then return to the Cockpit. ======================= Highwind Cockpit ======================= Talk to the pilot, say yes. ======================= World Map ======================= Head to the Corel like Barret said! Park outside, and try to get between the lines. ======================= Corel ======================= Head north. ======================= Corel Bridge ======================= Run to the other side. ======================= Railroad Bridge ======================= Run to the end. ======================= Railroad Tracks ======================= Run to the other end. ======================= Corel Reactor ======================= Go into the reactor. Fight off the soldiers. Does anyone notice that the trains are longer than the reactor itself? ======================= Corel Reactor Train 2 ======================= Just push the first button, then the second. And repeat. After about 10 seconds you'll catch up to the train. ======================= Corel Reactor Train ======================= Hop from train to train, battling the bad guys. At the front, you'll have to push the levers up at the same time to slow it down. However, it goes faster, and you see a _Cutscene_ ======================= Corel ======================= Talk to the man in your way. Then go toward the shop owners. A kid will give you a definitely cool rock. It's the ULTIMA materia, probably the most powerful. ======================= Corel Inn ======================= Leave. ======================= Corel ======================= Leave. ======================= World Map ======================= Hop in the Highwind and head to Fort Condor, the dot near Junon. ======================= Fort Condor Entrance ======================= Talk to the man, then run to the end and climb up the rope. ======================= Fort Condor Base ======================= Talk to the dude at the table, then climb up the ladder and run up the stairs. ======================= Lookout Shack ======================= Talk to the man. Just keep talking to him until he asks you if you're ready. Choose yes. Now you're in the strategy-based Fort Condor mini-game. It's kinda like Command & Conquer or Red Alert, if you've ever played any of those games. Most units have strengths and weaknesses. Use a variety of units. Just make a bunch of whatever you want and attack whoever shows up. They all cost money, so go out and battle a bit if you need some. This mini-game isn't too hard. If you let them get to the Lookout Shack, you'll have to battle them yourself. The main objective is to destroy the Commander. He's not too hard to point out and has the highest HP. He won't show up for a while, but send everything you have after him once he does. After the battle, you'll see a very sad _Cutscene_ Go outside. ======================= Condor Egg Area ======================= Take the PHOENIX summon materia, then leave. ======================= Lookout Shack ======================= Go down the stairs. ======================= Fort Condor Base ======================= Talk to the lazy man at the table. He had the HUGE MATERIA the whole time! Now leave. ======================= Fort Condor Base ======================= Leave. ======================= World Map ======================= Head to Mideel. SAVE outside of it, though. ======================= Mideel ======================= Head into the clinic. ======================= Mideel Clinic ======================= Talk to Tifa. Leave. ======================= Mideel ======================= Holy Bejeezers! And Weapon showed up to join in on the fun. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Ultimate Weapon (Mideel) Rec. Level: 42 HP: 4,000-6,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ He doesn't have many HP, but he's HARD. And you get nothing for beating him. His Ultima Beam attack is extremely powerful. Try to stay at full health to avoid having all your party knocked out at once. He only has 4,000 HP, but he's got nice defense and everything. Just try to survive! After the battle, you get 0 EXP and 0 GIL. What a cheapskate. Cid's such a leader. Forget Cloud and Tifa! _Cutscene_ Oooo. That's not good. When Tifa's spinning around in circles, it sounds like Lavos is attacking Crono and Frog*. * = Only if you've played Chrono Trigger. ======================= Cloud's Mind ======================= Whoa. This is freaky. Head to Nibelheim at the top of the screen. Talk to Cloud, then continue. _Cutscene_ ======================= Nibelheim ======================= Talk to Cloud. ======================= Cloud's Mind ======================= Now go to the memory of that night at the well when they were kids. Talk to Cloud. _Cutscene_ Talk to the final Cloud. Then talk to the child Cloud by the window. _Cutscene_ ======================= White Abyss ======================= Who knows where you are? Talk to the Shadow-Cloud. ======================= Cloud's Mind ======================= Run back to Nibelheim. When they were in the Mt. Nibel Reactor, shouldn't Tifa's dad's body still be there? Talk to Cloud when he's laying on the ground. ======================= Operation Room ======================= Leave. You'll get to choose your party. ======================= Highwind Cockpit ======================= Talk to the pilot! We're headin' to Junon! ======================= World Map ======================= Get to Junon. ======================= Junon Town ======================= Luckily, you don't have to do talk to Mr. Dolphin. That is, if you have 10 GIL. Talk to the man toward the back of town by the elevator. For 10 GIL, he'll let you ride it. Sweet. ======================= Junon Elevator ======================= Push the switch. Leave. ======================= Junon Airport Path ======================= Exit to the 2nd Street. ======================= Junon Second Street ======================= Run down to the other side of the road. You'll notice that there's something extremely large missing. I wonder what it is? Continue down the road to the end. ======================= Underwater Reactor Tunnel ======================= Run down toward the soldiers. They'll retreat and disappear into thin air. Take their lead. The door's kinda hard to find. It has a big "1" on it. Go in. ======================= Underwater Reactor Lift ======================= That lady's probably a man. Oh well. Kick their sorry hineys. Leave. Tifa's your lady (Yuffie's mine). ======================= Junon Reactor Tunnel ======================= Fight the 2 soldiers. One's sleepy, but you can't tell in battle. Continue until the screen changes, then keep going further. Go until you come to a save point. I recommend that you take advantage of it. Then go through the door. ======================= Junon Underwater Elevator ======================= Wow. Just like the other one. Ride it down. Then leave. ======================= Green Corridor ======================= Run through the door at the other end. ======================= Junon Observatory ======================= NOTE: At this point, I recommend that you run around until you fight an enemy called the Ghost Ship. Equip some MORPH materia, then get the Ghost Ship to low HP and morph it. You'll get a GUIDEBOOK, which is not required, but very helpful. If you take it to a man in Kalm, he'll give you something special. After that, run to the other end. ======================= Junon Underwater Elevator 2 ======================= Push the red button, then leave. ======================= Junon Reactor Catwalks ======================= Run across to the other side. Are those submarines? ======================= Blue Corridor ======================= SAVE. Run into the blue light. ======================= Junon Reactor Security Room ======================= Battle all the soldiers and get to the other side. ======================= Huge Materia Catwalks ======================= Run to the other end. ======================= Submarine Dock ======================= No! The HUGE MATERIA! Talk to Reno. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Carry Armor, Left Arm & Right Arm Rec. Level: 45 HP: 24,000, 10,000 & 10,000 Weak: Lightning Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ If you have your LIGHTNING materia with an ALL, use up all your ALL hits first, then just attack the arms. The Carry Armor hurts, but only so often. Just attack the arms. Trust me. After you survive the first Lapis Laser, he doesn't use it for a while. Use Bolt, Bolt2, or even Bolt3 (if you have it) as much as possible. Eventually, he'll start to use the Arm Grab attack. It doesn't hurt, but he takes one of your characters in his arms. Now, you can't use the character for anything. To get that character back, you need to destroy the arm that's holding him/her. This character cannot be hit by the evil Lapis Laser, but if he kills the remaining two party members and the captured character is still alive, it's still a game over. :-\. However, after you take off his arms, he's a piece of cake. You just have to heal every time he uses the Lapis Laser. You get a GOD'S HAND for winning. Go left to the end of the platform. There's a BATTLE TRUMPET in the chest. Then run toward the other sub. After the screen changes, run to the stairway and open the chest. You get a SCIMTAR. Now BE SURE you keep going to the end and open the chest there. You'll get the LEVIATHAN SCALES. Then battle the soldiers running aimlessly around. ======================= Submarine Machinery Room ======================= Enter the cockpit beside the save point. ======================= Submarine Cockpit ======================= When you get the choice, take them prisoner. Be nice. Sit in the seat, then read the manual if you don't know how to drive the sub. Alright. If you read the manual, you should be alright. Just keep shooting at the red sub. If you lose it, press R2/PAGEDN to zoom out. If you have the red sub in your sights, it shouldn't be too hard to shoot down. You have infinite missiles, so don't worry about that. After the mini-game, you'll find yourself at the World Map. ======================= World Map ======================= Go to Junon. ======================= Junon Town ======================= Go back to that soldier and give him 10 GIL to get on the elevator. ======================= Junon Airport Elevator ======================= Push the switch and leave. ======================= Junon Airport Path ======================= Go out the door closest to the door to the locker room. ======================= Junon Airport ======================= Run to the lift. _Cutscene_ That would be the Air Force's Gelnika. Rufus mentioned it at one point. Go back. ======================= Junon Airport Path ======================= Go back into the elevator. ======================= Junon Airport Elevator ======================= Push the switch and leave. ======================= Junon Town ======================= Exit to the World Map. ======================= World Map ======================= Hop in the Highwind and head to Rocket Town! ======================= Rocket Town ======================= Head to the rocket! ======================= Rocket Launch Pad ======================= Battle your way all the way into the rocket. You'll have to fight Rude. It doesn't play boss music, but I think he's kind of a boss. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Rude Rec. Level: 45 HP: 9,000 Weak: None Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ If you beat the Carry Armor, you'll have no trouble with him. The only special note is that his Cure2 spell is also an MBarrier. Enter the rocket. ======================= Shinra No. 26 ======================= Battle the dude, then head into the cockpit. ======================= Rocket Cockpit ======================= _Cutscene_ Go to the right and up the ladder. ======================= Rocket Storage ======================= Approach the Huge Materia. It's locked. For the PSX, enter: Circle, Square, X, X. For the PC, enter: OK, SWITCH, CANCEL, CANCEL. That should do it. If you get it on your first try, Cid will make a comment basically saying that HEY! YOU CHEATED! If you mess up alot, Cid will give you hints. You should be able to guess it with some deep thought. Leave when you finish. ======================= Rocket Cockpit ======================= Return to the room you used to enter. ======================= Shinra No. 26 ======================= Climb down the ladder by the door. ======================= Oxygen Tank Room ======================= Continue down the ladder and go past the oxygen tanks. They'll blow up. Tank Number 8 blew up. There's only 6 tanks, wizard. After Shera shows up, the game plays the Fort Condor theme (?) and Shera helps Cid out from under the debris. ======================= Escape Pod Tunnel ======================= Run toward the camera. ======================= Rocket Escape Pod ======================= _Cutscene_ _Cutscene_ Regardless of whether you got the HUGE MATERIA or not, the rocket hits Meteor and makes it look funkier (!). It also hurts poor old Bugenhagen's eyes. _Cutscene_ ======================= Highwind Cockpit ======================= Everyone says to go to Cosmo Canyon, but first, head to Junon. We need to recover the HUGE MATERIA from that red sub. ======================= World Map ======================= Enter the sub, then submerge. ======================= Underwater World Map ======================= Whatever you do, DO NOT go to the big green ugly guy. He is the hardest boss in the entire game. Even in level 99, he takes much longer than 20 minutes to defeat. The red sub should be located at the southeastern corner of the middle-west continent. Just run into it to recover the final HUGE MATERIA. Then head back to the dock at Junon. ======================= World Map ======================= Take the Highwind to Cosmo Canyon. You can't park on the brown part, so you may have to walk a little bit. ======================= Cosmo Canyon ======================= I'm not going to include the individual room names, but get to Bugenhagen's House. ======================= Bugenhagen's House ======================= Enter the observatory. ======================= Cosmo Observatory ======================= Talk to Bugenhagen. ======================= Huge Materia Storage ======================= There's 4 different types of HUGE MATERIA. The kind that you hopefully got on the rocket is the blue one. Check it, then get closer. Cloud will see Bahamut and BAHAMUT and NEO BAHAMUT materia glows. You then get the second-most powerful summon materia in the entire game - BAHAMUT ZERO. If you didn't get the HUGE MATERIA from the rocket, then poo on you. No BAHAMUT ZERO for you. Check one of the big chunks and choose to go back down. ======================= Highwind Main Deck ======================= Enter the Cockpit. ======================= Highwind Cockpit ======================= Talk to the pilot. ======================= World Map ======================= Run toward the Bone Village, except land in the valley just beside the City of the Ancients. ======================= City of the Ancients ======================= At the fork, go left. After the screen changes, head into that building. ======================= Ancient Building ======================= There's a MAGIC SOURCE upstairs. Go out the other door. ======================= City of the Ancients ======================= Continue down the path. ======================= Ancient Projection Area ======================= Make your way through the ruins onto the platform that Bugenhagen's on. After the conversation, you'll find out that the (key) is where (even sunlight can't reach). Hmm. Well...hopefully it's not where the sun don't shine. WAIT! The sunlight can't reach underwater! Run back to the City of the Ancients. Well, on your way out, run down the stairs and open the chest. There's an AURORA ARMLET inside. ======================= City of the Ancients ======================= Retreat to the World Map. ======================= World Map ======================= Head to the submarine. ======================= Underwater World Map ======================= Head northwest as far as you can while underwater. Eventually, you'll come to what looks like a dead end. However, if you look closely, there's a secret tunnel. You'll find the KEY TO ANCIENTS at the end. It looks like an ugly stick. Wouldn't that decay over several thousand years? If you can't find the place, it's located west of Bone Village and southeast of Icicle Inn. The entrance into the secret tunnel is almost directly north of Costa del Sol. Anyway, after you're finished, head back to Junon and get in the Highwind. NOTE: If you have Vincent in your party, you can find the other secret passage near Costa del Sol and dock in a big pool. There's a cave there and a woman that explains much of the story of the game. This is also how to get Vincent's Level 4 Limit Break, CHAOS, and his ultimate weapon, the aptly named DEATH PENALTY. However, you can't get the items yet. All you can get is a long, yet informative video. ======================= World Map ======================= Fly back to the city. ======================= City of the Ancients ======================= Go back to the Ancient Projection Area. ======================= Ancient Projection Area ======================= Run to Bugenhagen and talk to him. Makes you wish you could fly...doesn't it? Oh well. Maybe when you're 149 years old. _Cutscene_ Run into the water. Then walk forward. _Cutscene_ If I get bored, I'll give you the guitar tabs for Aeris' Theme. It's not too hard and highly recognizable by anyone who's ever played this game. NOTE: If you have Yuffie in your party, she calls Cloud a "dorkus". :-D. Leave when you're finished. Cait Sith will interrupt you with a very cool _Cutscene_ You'll see Scarlet talk about this "new weapon" being called the Sister Ray. If you remember, it was on the cannon when you escaped as Tifa. Leave after the talking. ======================= City of the Ancients ======================= Leave. ======================= World Map ======================= Get in the Highwind. Oh great. Weapon. And now we have to fight it off to save Marlene. Three lives for one...well...just don't lose! NOTE: Use the FIRE RING and FIRE ARMLET. Head to the grass outside Midgar and wait for Weapon to arrive. I think he was moving a little faster when he attacked Junon. NOTE: I tried...if you let him go, he just stops and waits for you. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Diamond Weapon (Midgar) Rec. Level: 47 HP: 25,000 (Approximation) Weak: None Strong: ALL PHYSICAL ATTACKS, Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Believe it or not, this guy really isn't too tough. Most of his attacks are weak. Just keep using magic. WATCH OUT FOR HIS COUNTDOWN ATTACK. He starts at 3 and counts down to 1. After he gets to 0, he unleashes the powerful Diamond Flash. It silences anyone who doesn't have an accessory to stop it, leaving you powerless against Weapon. It also takes away approximately 92% of your health. Vincent's Limit Breaks are considered magic against this boss. Just keep using your magic and summons. HAVE EVERYONE ALIVE WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE CLOSE TO BEATING HIM. You get 35,000 EXP. That's a LOT. After the battle, you'll see a _6 Amazing Cutscenes_ ======================= Highwind Cockpit ======================= Hmmm. So we could have sat there and waited for Rufus to shoot Weapon, right? Oh well. Talk to the pilot. ======================= World Map ======================= Head to the North Cave. If you haven't figured out who Cait Sith really is, you'll find out now. Makes you wish you killed him when you had the chance. Oh well. Nerds aren't very strong...not that I'm a nerd and know that...or anything. Alright. We're gonna parachute into Midgar. Prepare yourself, then fly low onto Midgar. ======================= Highwind Main Deck ======================= Choose your party and JUMP! _Cutscene_ ======================= Sector 8 Slums ======================= Follow Cait Sith to the ladder leading down. Talk to him. Then climb down the ladder. ======================= Sector 8, Underground ======================= Climb down the ladder. If you go the way other than the steps, you'll find two chests containing an ELIXIR and a MEGALIXIR. When you're finished, go down the stairs. If you want an AEGIS ARMLET, go left to the ladder at the end. It's in the chest at the top. After you're ready, head right to the end. The floor falls out from under you and you end up on the lower level. Head left and up the ladders. Run over to the big tube with the red square at the entrance and go into it. The 2 chests up here contain a STARLIGHT PHONE and an ELIXIR. If you want a MAX RAY, climb down the ladder and jump into the red-lined pipe. The MAX RAY is at the end. I don't recommend getting it, as you will be receiving Barret's ultimate weapon soon. Anyway, in the room with two chests at the bottom of the pipe, head up the stairs. Save if you want and head through the doorway. I recommend that you equip the FIRE RING and FIRE ARMLET if you have them. Crawl to the end. ======================= Winding Tunnel ======================= You may recall this place. To progress, head down the tunnel, away from the tunnel. However, if you want some extra items such as a POWER SOURCE, a GUARD SOURCE, a MIND SOURCE, a MAGIC SOURCE, and the W-ITEM materia, you should run toward the camera. By the time you make it to the end, you'll have found them all. After you found the stuff you want, run to the end of the tunnel farthest away from the ladder. Oh great. The Turks. If you choose to fight them, you'll be in a boss battle. If you choose not to, they'll leave. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Reno Rec. Level: 50 HP: 25,000 Weak: None Strong: Lightning ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Elena Rec. Level: 50 HP: 26,000 (Approximation) Weak: None Strong: Ice ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Rude Rec. Level: 50 HP: 28,000 Weak: None Strong: Fire ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Poison them to start out. Wow. Rude has some powerful punches. One can take away more than 2000 HP, so I think a Barrier spell on all of your characters would be a good idea. Each of them has a different elemental strength, so physical attacks and non- elemental attacks would be a good idea. All forms of BAHAMUT work great. With those tips, you should do pretty well. Reno "calls it a day" after you beat them. You get 6500 EXP for winning. Whether you beat them or not, head to the end of the tunnel furthest from the camera. To progress, go left. However, if you want Cait Sith's Ultimate Weapon, the HP SHOUT, go right, then at the next turn go left. You'll find yourself at the bottom of the Shinra Headquarters. On the 64th Floor, there's some lockers. Check them for the HP SHOUT. If you got the HP SHOUT, run back to the junction with the "8" and go left. ======================= Sector 8 Slums ======================= Climb up the tower and run down the road. Again, you will be stopped by an idiot. This one, however, looks threatening. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Jamar Armor, Proud Clod (Cockpit) Rec. Level: 50 HP: 20,000, 50,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison, Gravity ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ My main recommendation is to attack the Cockpit if you have the choice, but use your whatever materia you have paired with an ALL when you can. Casting Barrier and MBarrier (or Wall if you have it) is very helpful, but that makes curing kind of hard. All forms of BAHAMUT, as usual, work great. When he falls on his knees, he's about to use the Beam Cannon attack. It's not as powerful as it seems. Physical attacks are pretty helpful, so use them if you have them. Even though it's a machine, it's not weak against Lightning. Darn. That's about it. He's not too hard. You get the RAGNAROK for winning. Eww. It turned pink. That's kinda gross. After it blows up, continue down the road. We have to beat up the nerd, Hojo! After the screen changes, you may find this place to be familiar... Open the chests for an ELIXIR and a MYSTILE. The MYSTILE is very nice armor. If you DON'T have Barret in your party now, head over to the save point and make sure he is...trust me. Head up the stairs. ======================= Sector 8 Upper Platform ======================= Go up the next set of stairs and open the chest for Barret's Ultimate Weapon, the MISSING SCORE. Then, if you want someone other than Barret in your party, head back down to the save point and switch. Hojo is actually pretty hard. Head up to the end. ======================= Sector 8 Hojo Platform ======================= NOTE: Equip every RIBBON you have. I had two, so on your other character, equip a Talk to Hojo. Huh? He's Sephiroth's father? ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Hojo Rec. Level: 50 HP: 13,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ This is Hojo's first form. He isn't that hard. But when he uses his Capsule technique, two other creatures appear. After you take away his 13,000 HP, they disappear. Hojo decides to see how the Mako Juice is reacting... ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Helletic Hojo, Left Arm, Right Arm Rec. Level: 50 HP: 26,000, 24,000, 5,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Yes, his Left Arm is THAT much stronger than his right. Just keep attacking him over and over. He doesn't have many powerful attacks, so he shouldn't be too hard. Just don't use any form of Bio. Don't use any powerful summons just yet, as his next form may be a little challenging. At this point, I had Vincent in my party with his Death Gigas Limit Break. It actually works pretty well. He appears to blow up when you win. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Master Hojo Rec. Level: 50 HP: 25,000+ Weak: None Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ If you equipped your RIBBONs like I told you to, he won't be too hard. The trick to this guy is that he likes to put you to sleep, poison you, and/or silence you. He's weak, but his status changes can kill you easily. Sorry I couldn't get an accurate HP rating, but seriously, you can defeat him with your hands tied behind your back with those RIBBONs. You get a POWER SOURCE for winning. ======================= Highwind Cockpit ======================= _Cutscene_ And that's the end of Disk 2! Put in Disk 3 to continue. ======================= North Crater ======================= This is it. The battle with the mighty Sephiroth. Nah. Head back into the Highwind. We have to prepare for battle! NOTE: Your pilot is now completely leveled up! Woo! This is the LAST CHANCE you will have to do anything you might have wanted to do. Raising Chocobos, for instance. The final battle with Sephiroth will include all members of your party, so I recommend that you at least get each character's ultimate weapon. Here's how: ======================= Ultimate Weapons ======================= Cloud: ULTIMA WEAPON The Ultimate Weapon is flying around the world. He's not very hard, but you need to keep beating him down until he runs to the big circular watery area by Cosmo Canyon (where Vincent gets the DEATH PENALTY). He has 40,000 HP and is very powerful, but is most definitely worth beating, as the ULTIMA WEAPON is aptly named. Barret: MISSING SCORE It's located on the platform with Hojo. If you didn't get it, it's too late now. Tifa: PREMIUM HEART First, you need to get the KEY TO SECTOR 5. You can obtain it by going to the Bone Village and starting an excavation. When prompted, choose Normal Treasure. You may have to try a few times, but eventually you'll get it. After that, go to the Item Shop in the Wall Market and try to operate it for the PREMIUM HEART. Red XIII: LIMITED MOON Go back to Cosmo Canyon and check on Bugenhagen. He will pass away and Red XIII will get the LIMITED MOON. Yuffie: CONFORMER It's in the Gelnika, which is located southwest of Costa del Sol underwater. When you first get in, take the door closest to the save point. Then go down the stairs and to the northwest corner of the room. Check around for a hidden chest, the CONFORMER is inside. Cait Sith: HP SHOUT Located in the Shinra HQ, but you can only get it the time you parachute into Midgar. It's in the lockers on the 64th Floor. Vincent: DEATH PENALTY While flying around Cosmo Canyon, you can see a large circular watery area. Get in the submarine and submerge. Try to go there from the east. There's a secret passage that will get you there. Run into the waterfall, and you'll find Lucrecia. She tells you about the story of the game. Leave and come back for the DEATH PENALTY. Cid: VENUS GOSPEL Go to Rocket Town and talk to the man outside the Item Shop a few times. He'll give it to you. [Aeris]: UMBRELLA/PRINCESS GUARD The UMBRELLA is more powerful, but has no item slots. Get it by scoring 4,000 points at the Speed Square in Gold Saucer. The PRINCESS GUARD is in the Temple of the Ancients. In the Clock Room, go into door number "IIII". ======================= Level 4 Limit Breaks ======================= Although you'll most likely have to level up a bit to even use these Level 4 Limit Breaks, you may want to get them. They're very powerful, especially Omnislash. Cloud: OMNISLASH It's a prize in the Battle Square at the Gold Saucer. It's 32,000 BP, but is the most powerful move in the game, even stronger than the KNIGHTS OF ROUND summon. Barret: CATASTROPHE Go to Corel and talk to the woman in the tent near the entrance and she'll give it to you. Tifa: FINAL HEAVEN Remember in Cloud's flashback the melody I told you to remember? Go to Tifa's House and play it. It goes like this: Do..Re..Mi..Ti..La..Do..Re..Mi..So..Fa..Do..Re..Do..Forget it... Well, you can't play the "Forget it" key unless you can play an H Flat. You'll get it just for playing it. Red XIII: COSMO MEMORY Solve the safe puzzle in the Shinra Mansion. The COSMO MEMORY is in the safe. The combo is: 36, 10, 59, 97. You'll have to fight the Lost Number boss. Boss: Lost Number Rec. Level: 30 HP: 7,000 Weak: None Strong: None That's right. I recommend that you level up to Lv. 30 before taking him on. He has no weaknesses and no strengths. He's just really strong. After a while, he changes colors. If you had previously been using a lot of magic, use physical attacks. If you had been using physical attacks, use magic. When he dies, you'll get the COSMO MEMORY, Red XIII's Lv. 4 Limit Break. You'll also get ODIN summon materia and the KEY TO THE BASEMENT. Yuffie: ALL CREATION Fight your way to the top of the Battle Pagoda in Wutai. You'll get it at the top, after defeating the secret mystery champion. Cait Sith: SLOTS Well, he only has 2 Limit Breaks, but if you fight enough battles while using the DICE Limit Break, he'll gain it while gaining experience. Vincent: CHAOS You get it at the same place and time as the DEATH PENALTY. While flying around Cosmo Canyon, you can see a large circular watery area. Get in the submarine and submerge. Try to go there from the east. There's a secret passage that will get you there. Run into the waterfall, and you'll find Lucrecia. She tells you about the story of the game. Leave and come back for the DEATH PENALTY. Cid: HIGHWIND It's in the crashed Gelnika, which is the plane that carried the HUGE MATERIA to Rocket Town. The Gelnika is underwater, located southwest of Costa del Sol. Go west from Junon to get there. Inside. go left through the door, then through the next door. You're in the Cargo Room. Open the chest closest to the chopper to get it. [Aeris]: GREAT GOSPEL After you get the Buggy, run into Costa del Sol and ride the ship back to Junon. Cross the river here, then look for a cave. Inside, you'll find a man. Depending on how many battles you've fought, he'll give you items. You need to get the last two digits to match. After you do, talk to him for the MYTHRIL. Then ride the ship back to Costa del Sol and head south, hugging the eastern shore. You'll come to a house. Inside, you'll find a man who's short on materials for making weapons. Give him the MYTHRIL and open the chest for the GREAT GOSPEL. ======================= Kalm Man ======================= Remember that Ghost Ship in the Junon Reactor that I told you to Morph into a GUIDEBOOK? Head to Kalm. Then go into the house to the right of the stairs and go up the stairs inside the house. Talk to the man up there. He says he wants: "A map that was sunk along with the ship. GUIDEBOOK." "A rose that blooms once every 1000 years in the desert. DESERT ROSE." "A harp that soothes those who hear it. EARTH HARP." Well, the GUIDEBOOK is what you should have received from Morphing the Ghost Ship in the Junon Reactor. When you give it to him, he gives you UNDERWATER materia. It seems useless, but actually, it's not. Some losers think it's for reviving Aeris, which again, is impossible. The UNDERWATER materia takes away the 20:00 limit when fighting Emerald Weapon. Everything ELSE the Kalm Man gives you is pretty cool. If you get a DESERT ROSE and give it to him, you'll get a legendary Gold Chocobo. If you get him the EARTH HARP, you'll get MASTER MAGIC, MASTER SUMMON, and MASTER COMMAND materia. Heh, but it's not easy. To get the DESERT ROSE, you must first defeat the Ultimate Weapon, then get a Chocobo and ride it into the sands under the Gold Saucer. You'll find the Ruby Weapon. Beat him to receive the DESERT ROSE. To get the EARTH HARP, you need to defeat Emerald Weapon, which is underwater. He takes OVER twenty minutes to beat. Ouch. ======================= Chocobo Sage ======================= On the northern continent, you'll find a small house. Land beside it and enter. It's the Chocobo Sage! Talk to the green chocobo here for the final ENEMY SKILL materia. Talk to that strange man. After a while, he'll remember his name. He's pretty boring, but he knows a lot about Chocobos. He'll also sell you some nuts. ======================= Materia Caves ======================= KNIGHTS OF ROUND materia You'll need a Gold Chocobo for this one. From the Chocobo Farm, go northeast into the ocean. Forget your map, this island won't show up. It's in the northeast corner of the map. It's like a big crater. There's a cave here. Go inside. Check the red light for the materia. QUADRA MAGIC materia This one will most likely require a Blue Chocobo or better. Go east of Mideel where you'll find a chain of islands. One is really long and brown. Land on the green part, then run your Chocobo down the hill and to the end where you'll find a cave. Inside is the materia. HP <-> MP materia You'll need a Black or Gold Chocobo. Go northeast of Corel on your Gold Chocobo and into the cave. The materia is inside. MIME You'll need a Green Chocobo or better. Go to the western-most island, the one with Wutai. Now position yourself west of Rocket Town and you should see it. Ride your Chocobo over the mountains to get to it. The MIME command materia is inside. ======================= Leviathan Scales Part 2 ======================= Did you get the LEVIATHAN SCALES at the submarine dock in Junon? If so, go to Wutai and up the path to Da-chao. Run around until you find a cave and go inside. Run into the fire and the scales will shine and put out the fire. If you put out all of them, you'll get an ORITSURU and STEAL AS WELL materia. ======================= Back to the Walkthrough ======================= Well, take the Highwind and land it in the North Crater. ======================= North Crater ======================= Climb down the ladder. Then run toward the camera. NOTE: In the North Crater, you may encounter a strange-looking, slow man with a star above his head. If you encounter him, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. He has several sudden-death moves, such as his Knife attack, which simply kills you in one hit. You may also want to watch out for the Gargoyle-like things. They have a spell called L4 Death which can instantly kill your entire party. You'll then be asked if you want to go or stay. Well, you can get back later regardless of what Cloud says, so slide down. At the bottom, you'll see a cave at the top of the screen. That leads back to the Highwind. So make your way down the path, collecting the SAVE CRYSTAL and the GUARD SOURCE. I'll tell you when to use the SAVE CRYSTAL. ======================= North Crater Part 2 ======================= NOTE: If you're having trouble fighting these monsters, you will have trouble fighting you-know-who. Getting the treasures in the chests isn't that hard. Here's a list of what's inside of them. On the left path: POWER SOURCE, ELIXIR, MAGIC SOURCE. On the right path: GUARD SOURCE, MIND SOURCE. Take what you want and head to the bottom to find yourself in yet another maze. Go right and you'll jump onto a ledge with a chest. There's a MIND SOURCE inside. Go into the cave. Follow the path out. Go down to the ledge just [southeast] of the treasure chest, then try to jump back up. When you can't, head left and you'll jump right onto another ledge with a treasure chest. There's a HERO DRINK inside. Go into the cave. Now you're on the path to the right. Open the two chests here for a GUARD SOURCE and a POWER SOURCE. Then run up the path and out the cave at the northwest corner of the cave. Now you're up at the top again. Jump back down to where the first chest was, then jump to the ledge above it, run to the left, then jump down onto the ledge with the chest and go into the cave. Take the MEGALIXIR and leave. Head to the bottom. ======================= North Crater Part 3 ======================= Cloud will suggest that you split into two parties. What a genius. I recommend that you take the strongest characters with you to the left, and send the others to the right. You then get to choose a party out of the people you chose to go with you. Go down the path to the left. When somebody asks you which way to go, go down... Take your strongest characters with you. Jump down to the chest. There's a REMEDY inside. Go right to find another chest that contains an ELIXIR. Then go to the southwest corner of the screen to find the last chest in this area. There's an X-POTION inside. Make your way to the bottom of the screen. Run down. At the fork, you can go right to get to two chests with a VACCINE and a TURBO ETHER. If you go left, you'll progress. NOTE: You may find some MAGIC COUNTER materia in the [mako-fall] here. I found it on my way back out of here. Jump down to that chest. There's an X-POTION inside. Then head to the bottom of the screen. You'll find another chest, this one containing a TURBO ETHER. Go left from this chest and take the SPEED SOURCE from the chest. You can see some materia in the [Mako-fall], but it's hard to get. The exit is at the bottom left corner of the screen. ======================= North Crater Mako Cave ======================= Open the chest here for a LUCK SOURCE. Then continue left along the path. Your friends will show up. Go left past Cid until the screen changes, then use your SAVE CRYSTAL. Use a TENT if you have it, then save and head back to your party. Go right past Barret and Red XIII and down. Then go left and down the weird steps. "Alright everyone. Let's mosey." Choose your party and go! You'll soon hear a familiar theme and probably remember someone you forgot about... Jump down to the lowest rock. NOTE: There is and enemy here that uses the powerful Pandora's Box enemy skill. You should be sure you get it if you battle this creature. Dragon Zombie HP: 13,000 Weak: Holy Strong: None This guy isn't very hard, but just before he dies, he uses Pandora's Box. It's a very powerful Enemy Skill that you most definitely should acquire. Just be sure he doesn't kill you with it. Make your way to that white-checkered platform. ======================= White Checkered Platform ======================= AHHH! I've seen prettier DOGS win the ugly dog contest (Source: Eustace of Courage the Cowardly Dog) ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Jenova SYNTHESIS (A = Middle, B = Left, C = Right) Rec. Level: 54 HP: A = 65,000 (Approx.) B = 10,000 C = 8,000, Weak: None Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Cast Barrier or Wall (if you have it). That should protect against her little tentacle-slaps. Even though she has 65,000 HP, her defense is pathetic. Use your ALL paired magic first, then by the time they run out of ALL use, you'll have the arms dead. I recommend that you use mostly physical attacks, but magic will work fine, too. WoW! You get 60000 EXP for winning! That's enough to put me up 3 levels!!! It'd be great if you could fight her more than once. You don't get any GIL for winning, but seriously, when are you gonna use it? _Cutscene_ ======================= Holy Area ======================= Holy Area? WE'RE FIGHTING SEPHIROTH! Man...Sephiroth isn't too honorable of a fighter, is he? Choose your party, then you'll be able to heal up from that *beating* you took from Jenova. You may want to use any extra SOURCE items if you haven't already, as this is the final battle. Then exit the menu and choose to go! ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Bizarro Sephiroth A (Body), B (Head), C (Core), D & E (Wings) Rec. Level: 55+ HP: A = 80,000 (Approx.) B = 2,000 C = 10,000 D = 2,000 E = 2,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ "Think about the sequence of the 5 targets and beat them!" What the?! 5 targets? Grr. Why can't the pansy just fight us one-on-three? Just keep fighting. If you cast BAHAMUT ZERO at the beginning, you'll kill most of his body parts quickly. They can, however, be revived. If you beat Jenova, you can beat him. He basically has only two moves. Bizarro Energy and that move that looks like some kind of earth type. Bizarro Energy is just a healing spell, so it's not that bad. Just keep attacking mainly the center and eventually he'll start leaning and then disappear. WHAT?! ANOTHER BATTLE?!?! ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Pegasus Sephiroth Rec. Level: 55+ HP: 70,000 (Approx.) Weak: None Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ He casts Wall at the beginning of the fight. Well that's just dandy. Wah?! Sephiroth's Shadow Flare technique can take away over 7,000 HP?! Hey. That's funny. It's an Enemy Skill that you learn from the final boss. Pale Horse isn't too powerful. What the heck?! Super Nova?! Sephiroth summons a meteor similar to the large one, except scarier. It even shows the meteor destroying many of the planets in our solar system. However, when it hits you, it simply hurts you a bit without killing you. If you beat the last Sephiroth, you should be able to beat this one. You just have to get used to the fact that this guy's a challenge. Looks like Sephiroth can destroy the planets in our solar system more than once. That's interesting. I wish Super Nova was an enemy skill. I had RIBBONs on 2 of my characters and the other is a small frog. However, he isn't attacking the frog, just the 2 characters that are helping me. Just keep battling and before you know it, he'll get sucked into the vortex. You'll find yourself back with your friends, then you can feel Sephiroth's presence. _Cutscene_ ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Final Sephiroth ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Wow! You get Omnislash! Pump his guts full of...steel. _Ending Cutscene_ Wow. What an ending. Congratulate yourself and pat yourself on the back. You have just completed most likely the greatest role-playing game ever made. "I think I'm beginning to understand...an answer from the planet...the Promised Land...I can meet her." "Let's go and meet her together." Looks like Marlene was in Kalm the whole time... _Credits_ _Final Cutscene_ That's depressing. It looks like Holy decided humans weren't best for the planet. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= 6.

Bosses =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** ---------Required Bosses---------- ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ======================= Boss: Mecha-Scorpion Rec. Level: 7 HP: Not very many Weak: Bolt Strong: None ======================= Just keep attacking. Be sure to use your Limit Break if you get it, and heal if you get low on health. When Cloud warns Barret about attacking, DON'T ATTACK. Just wait until his tail goes down. When you win the battle, you'll get the ASSAULT GUN. ======================= Boss: Air Buster Rec. Level: 8 HP: 1200 Weak: Bolt Strong: None ======================= Just Attack and use Bolt until you get a Limit Break. Then use that, and continue. He should be finished rather quickly. You'll get a TITAN BANGLE at the end. ======================= Boss: Aps Rec. Level: 10 HP: 1,800 Weak: Fire Strong: None ======================= Use that FIRE materia I told you to buy and you should be doin' pretty good. Aeris' Limit Break heals you and Cloud's and Tifa's Limit Breaks hurt him. Just attack him and use magic in between Limit Breaks. At the end you'll get a PHOENIX DOWN. ======================= Boss: Reno Rec. Level: 10 HP: 1,000 Weak: None Strong: None ======================= Just keep attacking. You can destroy the pyramids by directly attacking whoever it's around. He's only got 1,000 HP, so he's not that hard. After he loses, he says "It's time" and leaves. You get an ETHER for winning. ======================= Boss: HO512 + HO512-opt A, B, C Rec. Level: 12 HP: 1,000 Weak: Ice Strong: Poison ======================= Ignore the little guys, just go for the big guy. The little guys die when you kill the big guy. He only has 1000 HP, so he's not that bad. Use ice when you can. The HO512-opts each have 300 HP. At the end of the battle, you get a TALISMAN. ======================= Boss: Hundred Gunner Rec. Level: 12 HP: 1,600 Weak: Bolt Strong: Poison ======================= Just keep using magic due to the fact that only Barret can attack. BE SURE to use Bolt and Limit Breaks as much as possible. Eventually, you'll win and some other guy will show up. ======================= Boss: Heli Gunner Rec. Level: 12 HP: 1,000 Weak: Bolt Strong: Poison ======================= Same plan as last time. Don't attack anyone who falls asleep. Just keep the Bolt and Limit Breaks comin! The AB Cannon can put you to sleep AND hurts you. The C Cannon just hurts. The Flying Cannon and Spinning Bodyblow attacks hurt about 150. ======================= Boss: Rufus & Dark Nation Rec. Level: 12 HP: 500, 140 Weak: None Strong: None ======================= He's only got 500 HP! Dark Nation casts Barrier, which makes it hard to attack him non-magically. Thus, USE MAGIC. If Dark Nation uses MBarrier, try physical attacks. You don't have to kill Dark Nation, but if you get tired of his stupid Bolt attacks, go ahead. When he says, "Heh, that's all for today", he's done. You get a PROTECT VEST for winning. ======================= Boss: Motor Ball Rec. Level: 12 HP: 2,600 Weak: Bolt Strong: Poison ======================= Ouch...2,600 HP. Seems like Horse-power too. Use the Bolt. This guy you can attack, too, but he's still got all those HPs. His armor is twice as weak as the last guy. Also, Ice works better than Fire. Be sure to cure after his Rolling Fire attack. It hurts! ======================= Boss: Bottomswell Rec. Level: 13 HP: 2,500 Weak: Wind Strong: None ======================= Looks like Mr. Dolphin didn't stick around to help us. The only wind-type materia you have is your CHOCO/MOG summon. So use that. I also recommend you use Poison-type materia to poison him. It hurts him every time he attacks. The gift that keeps on givin! Use any materia you have with an ALL with it especially when he puts a bubble around one of your allies. He's not too hard, and he gets washed away in his Big Wave attack. ======================= Boss: Jenova BIRTH Rec. Level: 14 HP: 4,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ======================= Just keep attacking and curing. His laser shooting attack will probably give you a Limit Break in one hit. Sweet. Watch out for his Tail Laser attack, which hurts all of your party. He's not too hard. Just don't use poison, it has no effect on him. After the battle, you'll get a WHITE CAPE and some IFRIT summon materia will be right in front of you. ======================= Boss: Dyne Rec. Level: 13 HP: 1,200 Weak: None Strong: None ======================= Use your Limit Breaks! They take away about 350 each, so it shouldn't last too long. Just heal whenever you get to 300 HP or less. He'll go down on his last Molotov Cocktail. After you beat him, you'll get something of his and a SILVER ARMLET. ======================= Boss: Reno & Rude Rec. Level: 14 HP: 2,000 each Weak: None Strong: None ======================= These guys aren't too hard. Use up any magic with ALLs first. As always, Poison is a good idea. Just use Limit Breaks, revive anyone who's down and cure anyone who's low in HP. You'll get a FAIRY TALE for winning. It's a weapon for Aeris. ======================= Boss: Gi Nattak & Soul Fires Rec. Level: 22 HP: 5,500 & 1,300 Weak: Holy Strong: None ======================= Wait....what the heck is Holy power? Well, when you bring someone back to life, that's kinda holy. So... It's kinda a secret, but use PHOENIX DOWNs. You may have to beat him in a little before they start working, but you should definitely use them. His little firey friends can use ONLY Fire2. It heals them, but they can enter one of your friends' body and use Fire2. If you don't have the FIRE RING or some other protective accessory or armlet, it will hurt. However, they do have limited MP and will eventually not be able to do anything. The big guy is pretty weak. Keep attacking with magic and physical attacks. That is, if you're out of PHOENIX DOWNs or something. You'll get a WIZER STAFF for winning. ======================= Boss: Materia Keeper Rec. Level: 25 HP: 8,400 Weak: Ice Strong: Fire ======================= He's actually pretty hard. Poison him to start out with and watch out for the Hell Combo. Use the Ice-type SHIVA when you can, and use Ice2 as often as possible. Limit Breaks help out as well. After you get him low in HP, he starts using Cure2 and Trine. Trine is very painful and hurts the entire party. It is an enemy skill, though, so if you survive it with the ENEMY SKILL materia equipped, you can use it against him. He doesn't take long after he uses Trine, though. Especially if you've poisoned him. The poison hurts him 250 every turn, so it's not that bad. After you kick his hiney, take the COUNTER materia he dropped. ======================= Boss: Palmer Rec. Level: -17.5 (yes, he's that easy) HP: 6,000 Weak: None Strong: None ======================= I could beat this guy in my sleep. Just keep attacking and heal if you accidentally hurt yourself or something. When he bends over to show you his better side, hit him harder. He leaves after you kick his butt. Then he gets hit by a truck...in Shera's back yard. You get an EDINCOAT for winning. ======================= Boss: Red Dragon Rec. Level: 32 HP: 6,800 Weak: None Strong: Fire ======================= This guy's actually pretty hard. As usual, Poison him first. Ice doesn't do particularly well on him. Use Cloud's Limit Breaks on him as much as you can. They'll do the most damage. Use Aeris' Limit Breaks to heal yourself, and have her throw people X-POTIONs and stuff as they get hurt. After you kick his butt, you get a DRAGON ARMLET. You'll also find some BAHAMUT summon materia. ======================= Boss: Demons Gate Rec. Level: 35 HP: 10,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ======================= YOU MUST ATTACK QUICKLY. If you go slow, he'll crack an egg above your head and probably kill you in one hit. He doesn't have a weakness. This boss is even harder than the last. Use lots of summons, including BAHAMUT. Battling is kinda boring too, because it just shows the back of him, which is a wall. Grr. I wish he had a weakness. If you get a nice hit on him, he'll sit there in a stupor for a second. But still hurry, it doesn't last long. This wouldn't be so hard if you didn't have to have stupid Aeris in your party. You can level up in the Murals Room if you're not high enough. For me, attacks seem to be working better than any magic, so you might want to try out that NAIL BAT if you got it. After the battle, you'll get a GIGAS ARMLET. ======================= Boss: Jenova LIFE Rec. Level: 35 HP: 10,000 Weak: Earth Strong: Poison ======================= Use your Quake or Quake2 if you have it when you can. However, this guy really isn't that hard, so he doesn't need a weakness. That last boss, however, DID. Bahamut works well, as usual. Bahamut is the man. Just keep attacking. WATCH OUT FOR AQUALUNG. You'll be almost completely protected if you have the AQUA RING equipped. Don't be scared to let Vincent use his magic-related limit breaks, either. Jenova's Reflect can't reflect the Berserk Dance or the Beast Flare. You'll get a WIZARD BRACELET for winning. ======================= Boss: Schizo (Left) Rec. Level: 40 HP: 18,000 Weak: None Strong: Fire, Poison ======================= ======================= Boss: Schizo (Right) Rec. Level: 40 HP: 18,000 Weak: None Strong: Ice, Poison ======================= As usual, Bahamut is the man. These guys are really annoying. One of them is a fire type and one is an ice type. So try not to use either one with an ALL. Otherwise, you'll heal one and hurt the other. With all the items I mentioned above, you are well protected from the Left Schizo. Fight as well as you can and eventually the two will join forces. When they both shoot at you at the same time, if you have the FIRE ARMLET or FIRE RING, you'll be unhurt. If you listened to me and put the FIRE ARMLET on Vincent and used his Limit Break, he will be fully-healed every time the losers attack, except for when they use Quake3. I usually end up beating him with only Vincent alive. However, it's very possible to beat him without Vincent. After one of them dies, they can use a powerful attack that looks like a combo of Bolt3 and Quake. COMET works pretty well, too. When the first one goes down and you get that powerful attack, you're close to victory. The last guy just basically uses his Ice breathing move. Sometimes Quake3, but usually just Ice breath. The second guy goes out the same way as the first guy. After the battle, you get a DRAGON FANG. ======================= Boss: Jenova DEATH Rec. Level: 40 HP: 25,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ======================= I thought Aqualung would help, and it does, but not that much. If you have the FIRE ARMLET and FIRE RING equipped on different characters, this boss is no problem. His Red Light and Tropic Wind attacks are both Fire-type, so this boss is amazingly simple. You'll get a nice REFLECT RING for winning. It's great, but it reflects ALL magic, including healing magic. ======================= Boss: Ultimate Weapon (Mideel) Rec. Level: 42 HP: 4,000-6,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ======================= He doesn't have many HP, but he's HARD. And you get nothing for beating him. His Ultima Beam attack is extremely powerful. Try to stay at full health to avoid having all your party knocked out at once. He only has 4,000 HP, but he's got nice defense and everything. Just try to survive! After the battle, you get 0 EXP and 0 GIL. What a cheapskate. ======================= Boss: Carry Armor, Left Arm & Right Arm Rec. Level: 45 HP: 24,000, 10,000 & 10,000 Weak: Lightning Strong: Poison ======================= If you have your LIGHTNING materia with an ALL, use up all your ALL hits first, then just attack the arms. The Carry Armor hurts, but only so often. Just attack the arms. Trust me. After you survive the first Lapis Laser, he doesn't use it for a while. Use Bolt, Bolt2, or even Bolt3 (if you have it) as much as possible. Eventually, he'll start to use the Arm Grab attack. It doesn't hurt, but he takes one of your characters in his arms. Now, you can't use the character for anything. To get that character back, you need to destroy the arm that's holding him/her. This character cannot be hit by the evil Lapis Laser, but if he kills the remaining two party members and the captured character is still alive, it's still a game over. :-\. However, after you take off his arms, he's a piece of cake. You just have to heal every time he uses the Lapis Laser. You get a GOD'S HAND for winning. ======================= Boss: Rude Rec. Level: 45 HP: 9,000 Weak: None Strong: None ======================= If you beat the Carry Armor, you'll have no trouble with him. The only special note is that his Cure2 spell is also an MBarrier. ======================= Boss: Diamond Weapon (Midgar) Rec. Level: 47 HP: 25,000 (Approximation) Weak: None Strong: ALL PHYSICAL ATTACKS, Poison ======================= Believe it or not, this guy really isn't too tough. Most of his attacks are weak. Just keep using magic. WATCH OUT FOR HIS COUNTDOWN ATTACK. He starts at 3 and counts down to 1. After he gets to 0, he unleashes the powerful Diamond Flash. It silences anyone who doesn't have an accessory to stop it, leaving you powerless against Weapon. It also takes away approximately 92% of your health. Vincent's Limit Breaks are considered magic against this boss. Just keep using your magic and summons. HAVE EVERYONE ALIVE WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE CLOSE TO BEATING HIM. You get 35,000 EXP. That's a LOT. ======================= Boss: Jamar Armor, Proud Clod (Cockpit) Rec. Level: 50 HP: 20,000, 50,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison, Gravity ======================= My main recommendation is to attack the Cockpit if you have the choice, but use your whatever materia you have paired with an ALL when you can. Casting Barrier and MBarrier (or Wall if you have it) is very helpful, but that makes curing kind of hard. All forms of BAHAMUT, as usual, work great. When he falls on his knees, he's about to use the Beam Cannon attack. It's not as powerful as it seems. Physical attacks are pretty helpful, so use them if you have them. Even though it's a machine, it's not weak against Lightning. Darn. That's about it. He's not too hard. You get the RAGNAROK for winning. ======================= Boss: Hojo Rec. Level: 50 HP: 13,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ This is Hojo's first form. He isn't that hard. But when he uses his Capsule technique, two other creatures appear. After you take away his 13,000 HP, they disappear. Hojo decides to see how the Mako Juice is reacting... ======================= Boss: Helletic Hojo, Left Arm, Right Arm Rec. Level: 50 HP: 26,000, 24,000, 5,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ======================= Yes, his Left Arm is THAT much stronger than his right. Just keep attacking him over and over. He doesn't have many powerful attacks, so he shouldn't be too hard. Just don't use any form of Bio. Don't use any powerful summons just yet, as his next form may be a little challenging. At this point, I had Vincent in my party with his Death Gigas Limit Break. It actually works pretty well. He appears to blow up when you win. ======================= Boss: Master Hojo Rec. Level: 50 HP: 25,000+ Weak: None Strong: Poison ======================= If you equipped your RIBBONs like I told you to, he won't be too hard. The trick to this guy is that he likes to put you to sleep, poison you, and/or silence you. He's weak, but his status changes can kill you easily. Sorry I couldn't get an accurate HP rating, but seriously, you can defeat him with your hands tied behind your back with those RIBBONs. You get a POWER SOURCE for winning. ======================= Boss: Jenova SYNTHESIS (A = Middle, B = Left, C = Right) Rec. Level: 54 HP: A = 65,000 (Approx.) B = 10,000 C = 8,000, Weak: None Strong: Poison ======================= Cast Barrier or Wall (if you have it). That should protect against her little tentacle-slaps. Even though she has 65,000 HP, her defense is pathetic. Use your ALL paired magic first, then by the time they run out of ALL use, you'll have the arms dead. I recommend that you use mostly physical attacks, but magic will work fine, too. WoW! You get 60000 EXP for winning! That's enough to put me up 3 levels!!! It'd be great if you could fight her more than once. You don't get any GIL for winning, but seriously, when are you gonna use it? ======================= Boss: Bizarro Sephiroth A (Body), B (Head), C (Core), D & E (Wings) Rec. Level: 55+ HP: A = 80,000 (Approx.) B = 2,000 C = 10,000 D = 2,000 E = 2,000 Weak: None Strong: Poison ======================= "Think about the sequence of the 5 targets and beat them!" What the?! 5 targets? Grr. Why can't the pansy just fight us one-on-three? Just keep fighting. If you cast BAHAMUT ZERO at the beginning, you'll kill most of his body parts quickly. They can, however, be revived. If you beat Jenova, you can beat him. He basically has only two moves. Bizarro Energy and that move that looks like some kind of earth type. Bizarro Energy is just a healing spell, so it's not that bad. Just keep attacking mainly the center and eventually he'll start leaning and then disappear. WHAT?! ANOTHER BATTLE?!?! ======================= Boss: Pegasus Sephiroth Rec. Level: 55+ HP: 70,000 (Approx.) Weak: None Strong: Poison ======================= He casts Wall at the beginning of the fight. Well that's just dandy. Wah?! Sephiroth's Shadow Flare technique can take away over 7,000 HP?! Hey. That's funny. It's an Enemy Skill that you learn from the final boss. Pale Horse isn't too powerful. What the heck?! Super Nova?! Sephiroth summons a meteor similar to the large one, except scarier. It even shows the meteor destroying many of the planets in our solar system. However, when it hits you, it simply hurts you a bit without killing you. If you beat the last Sephiroth, you should be able to beat this one. You just have to get used to the fact that this guy's a challenge. Looks like Sephiroth can destroy the planets in our solar system more than once. That's interesting. I wish Super Nova was an enemy skill. I had RIBBONs on 2 of my characters and the other is a small frog. However, he isn't attacking the frog, just the 2 characters that are helping me. Just keep battling and before you know it, he'll get sucked into the vortex. You'll find yourself back with your friends, then you can feel Sephiroth's presence. _Cutscene_ ======================= Boss: Final Sephiroth ======================= Wow! You get Omnislash! Pump his guts full of...steel. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** ---------Optional Bosses---------- ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ======================= Boss: Lost Number Rec. Level: 30 HP: 7,000 Weak: None Strong: None ======================= NOTE: This is the monster that you fight after unlocking the safe in the Shinra Mansion. The combo is 36, 10, 59, 97. That's right. I recommend that you level up to Lv. 30 before taking him on. He has no weaknesses and no strengths. He's just really strong. After a while, he changes colors. If you had previously been using a lot of magic, use physical attacks. If you had been using physical attacks, use magic. When he dies, you'll get the COSMO MEMORY, Red XIII's Lv. 4 Limit Break. You'll also get ODIN summon materia and the KEY TO THE BASEMENT. ======================= Boss: Rapps Rec. Level: 30 HP: 6,000 Weak: None Strong: None ======================= NOTE: This is the monster that Don Corneo sics on you in Yuffie's Sub-Quest. This guy's actually pretty hard. Start out with Barret's Mindblow Limit Break. That keeps him from using his powerful 1500 HP Aero3 attack. Just keep using your SWIFT BOLTs and FIRE VEILs. Use X-POTIONs when you get low, and that should just about do it. As long as you take away his MP at the beginning, he's not hard. You get a PEACE RING for winning. ======================= Boss: Reno Rec. Level: 50 HP: 25,000 Weak: None Strong: Lightning Boss: Elena Rec. Level: 50 HP: 26,000 (Approximation) Weak: None Strong: Ice Boss: Rude Rec. Level: 50 HP: 28,000 Weak: None Strong: Fire ======================= NOTE: In the re-visit to Midgar in the train tunnel, you'll fight them if you choose to "end it". Otherwise, you won't. Poison them to start out. Wow. Rude has some powerful punches. One can take away more than 2000 HP, so I think a Barrier spell on all of your characters would be a good idea. Each of them has a different elemental strength, so physical attacks and non- elemental attacks would be a good idea. All forms of BAHAMUT work great. With those tips, you should do pretty well. Reno "calls it a day" after you beat them. You get 6500 EXP for winning. ======================= Boss: Ultimate Weapon (Not Near Cosmo Canyon) Rec. Level: 50 HP: 25,000 (Approx.) Weak: None Strong: None ======================= Just slap him silly until he leaves. He's not that hard. ======================= Boss: Ultimate Weapon (Near Cosmo Canyon) Rec: Level: 55 HP: 15,000 (Approx.) Weak: None Strong: None ======================= Wow. He's amazingly easy. Just use the same strategies you used to defeat him before. He goes out using the Enemy Skill Shadow Flare. You get 35,000 EXP, 25,000 gil, and the ULTIMA WEAPON for winning. He also falls, creating a big crater which allows you to reach the Ancient Forest without a special Chocobo. Ruby Weapon has also appeared. ======================= Boss: Emerald Weapon, Eyes A-D Rec. Level: 95+ HP: Weapon = 1,000,000/A = 25,000/B = 25,000/C = 25,000/D = 25,000/ Weak: Weapon = None/A = Fire/B = None/C = Fire/D = None/ Strong: None ======================= If you don't have the UNDERWATER materia, get it. Go to the Junon reactor. More specifically to the part that looks like a walk-through aquarium. Get into a battle with a Ghost Ship and Morph it for the GUIDE BOOK. Go to Kalm and talk to the man in the house furthest to the right and he'll offer to trade you the UNDERWATER materia for the GUIDE BOOK. Alright. Emerald Weapon is located underwater roaming somewhere near the Junon Reactor. Run into him to initiate the battle. The blue eyes can shoot you and take away your HP, while the yellow eyes can take away your MP. It's your call whether or not to take them out, but I recommend it. This fight is very long and very repetitive. Emerald Beam is the powerful attack that hurts the entire party, Emerald Shoot hurts only one person, and the Revenge Stamp hurts your whole party, but is only used as a counter attack. Use KNIGHTS OF ROUND right off. It hurts him A LOT. After that, use it only when the Eyes are revived. He's that simple. There's not much else I can tell you. Even at Level 99, he puts up a challenge. This boss is mostly for people who have no life other than playing this game (like me). 1 million HP is a lot, but he's the hardest boss in the entire game. Good luck! You get 50,000 HP for winning. Pfft. Like you need it. You also get the EARTH HARP. Give it to the man in Kalm for MASTER COMMAND, MASTER MAGIC, and MASTER SUMMON materia. A nice prize, although not really worth the work. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= 9. Side Quests =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= ======================= Ultimate Weapons ======================= Cloud: ULTIMA WEAPON The Ultimate Weapon is flying around the world. He's not very hard, but you need to keep beating him down until he runs to the big circular watery area by Cosmo Canyon (where Vincent gets the DEATH PENALTY). He has 40,000 HP and is very powerful, but is most definitely worth beating, as the ULTIMA WEAPON is aptly named. Barret: MISSING SCORE It's located on the platform with Hojo in Midgar. You must have Barret in your party or it won't appear. Tifa: PREMIUM HEART First, you need to get the KEY TO SECTOR 5. You can obtain it by going to the Bone Village and starting an excavation. When prompted, choose Normal Treasure. You may have to try a few times, but eventually you'll get it. After that, go to the Item Shop in the Wall Market and try to operate it for the PREMIUM HEART. Red XIII: LIMITED MOON Go back to Cosmo Canyon and check on Bugenhagen. He will pass away and Red XIII will get the LIMITED MOON. Yuffie: CONFORMER It's in the Gelnika, which is located southwest of Costa del Sol underwater. When you first get in, take the door closest to the save point. Then go down the stairs and to the northwest corner of the room. Check around for a hidden chest, the CONFORMER is inside. Cait Sith: HP SHOUT Located in the Shinra HQ, but you can only get it the time you parachute into Midgar. It's in the lockers on the 64th Floor. Vincent: DEATH PENALTY While flying around Cosmo Canyon, you can see a large circular watery area. Get in the submarine and submerge. Try to go there from the east. There's a secret passage that will get you there. Run into the waterfall, and you'll find Lucrecia. She tells you about the story of the game. Leave and come back for the DEATH PENALTY. Cid: VENUS GOSPEL Go to Rocket Town and talk to the man outside the Item Shop a few times. He'll give it to you. Aeris: UMBRELLA/PRINCESS GUARD The UMBRELLA is more powerful, but has no item slots. Get it by scoring 4,000 points at the Speed Square in Gold Saucer. The PRINCESS GUARD is in the Temple of the Ancients. In the Clock Room, go into door number "IIII". ======================= Level 4 Limit Breaks ======================= Although you'll most likely have to level up a bit to even use these Level 4 Limit Breaks, you may want to get them. They're very powerful, especially Omnislash. Cloud: OMNISLASH It's a prize in the Battle Square at the Gold Saucer. It's 32,000 BP, but is the most powerful move in the game, even stronger than the KNIGHTS OF ROUND summon. Barret: CATASTROPHE Go to Corel and talk to the woman in the tent near the entrance and she'll give it to you. Tifa: FINAL HEAVEN Remember in Cloud's flashback the melody I told you to remember? Go to Tifa's House and play it. It goes like this: Do..Re..Mi..Ti..La..Do..Re..Mi..So..Fa..Do..Re..Do..Forget it... Well, you can't play the "Forget it" key unless you can play an H Flat. You'll get it just for playing it. Red XIII: COSMO MEMORY Solve the safe puzzle in the Shinra Mansion. The COSMO MEMORY is in the safe. The combo is: 36, 10, 59, 97. You'll have to fight the Lost Number boss. Boss: Lost Number Rec. Level: 30 HP: 7,000 Weak: None Strong: None That's right. I recommend that you level up to Lv. 30 before taking him on. He has no weaknesses and no strengths. He's just really strong. After a while, he changes colors. If you had previously been using a lot of magic, use physical attacks. If you had been using physical attacks, use magic. When he dies, you'll get the COSMO MEMORY, Red XIII's Lv. 4 Limit Break. You'll also get ODIN summon materia and the KEY TO THE BASEMENT. Yuffie: ALL CREATION Fight your way to the top of the Battle Pagoda in Wutai. You'll get it at the top, after defeating the secret mystery champion. Cait Sith: SLOTS Well, he only has 2 Limit Breaks, but if you fight enough battles while using the DICE Limit Break, he'll gain it while gaining experience. Vincent: CHAOS You get it at the same place and time as the DEATH PENALTY. While flying around Cosmo Canyon, you can see a large circular watery area. Get in the submarine and submerge. Try to go there from the east. There's a secret passage that will get you there. Run into the waterfall, and you'll find Lucrecia. She tells you about the story of the game. Leave and come back for the DEATH PENALTY. Cid: HIGHWIND It's in the crashed Gelnika, which is the plane that carried the HUGE MATERIA to Rocket Town. The Gelnika is underwater, located southwest of Costa del Sol. Go west from Junon to get there. Inside. go left through the door, then through the next door. You're in the Cargo Room. Open the chest closest to the chopper to get it. Aeris: GREAT GOSPEL After you get the Buggy, run into Costa del Sol and ride the ship back to Junon. Cross the river here, then look for a cave. Inside, you'll find a man. Depending on how many battles you've fought, he'll give you items. You need to get the last two digits to match. After you do, talk to him for the MYTHRIL. Then ride the ship back to Costa del Sol and head south, hugging the eastern shore. You'll come to a house. Inside, you'll find a man who's short on materials for making weapons. Give him the MYTHRIL and open the chest for the GREAT GOSPEL. ======================= Kalm Man ======================= Remember that Ghost Ship in the Junon Reactor that I told you to Morph into a GUIDEBOOK? Head to Kalm. Then go into the house to the right of the stairs and go up the stairs inside the house. Talk to the man up there. He says he wants: "A map that was sunk along with the ship. GUIDEBOOK." "A rose that blooms once every 1000 years in the desert. DESERT ROSE." "A harp that soothes those who hear it. EARTH HARP." Well, the GUIDEBOOK is what you should have received from Morphing the Ghost Ship in the Junon Reactor. When you give it to him, he gives you UNDERWATER materia. It seems useless, but actually, it's not. Some losers think it's for reviving Aeris, which again, is impossible. The UNDERWATER materia takes away the 20:00 limit when fighting Emerald Weapon. Everything ELSE the Kalm Man gives you is pretty cool. If you get a DESERT ROSE and give it to him, you'll get a legendary Gold Chocobo. If you get him the EARTH HARP, you'll get MASTER MAGIC, MASTER SUMMON, and MASTER COMMAND materia. Heh, but it's not easy. To get the DESERT ROSE, you must first defeat the Ultimate Weapon, then get a Chocobo and ride it into the sands under the Gold Saucer. You'll find the Ruby Weapon. Beat him to receive the DESERT ROSE. To get the EARTH HARP, you need to defeat Emerald Weapon, which is underwater. He takes OVER twenty minutes to beat. Ouch. ======================= Chocobo Sage ======================= On the northern continent, you'll find a small house. Land beside it and enter. It's the Chocobo Sage! Talk to the green chocobo here for the final ENEMY SKILL materia. Talk to that strange man. After a while, he'll remember his name. He's pretty boring, but he knows a lot about Chocobos. He'll also sell you some nuts. ======================= Materia Caves ======================= KNIGHTS OF ROUND materia You'll need a Gold Chocobo for this one. From the Chocobo Farm, go northeast into the ocean. Forget your map, this island won't show up. It's in the northeast corner of the map. It's like a big crater. There's a cave here. Go inside. Check the red light for the materia. QUADRA MAGIC materia This one will most likely require a Blue Chocobo or better. Go east of Mideel where you'll find a chain of islands. One is really long and brown. Land on the green part, then run your Chocobo down the hill and to the end where you'll find a cave. Inside is the materia. HP <-> MP materia You'll need a Black or Gold Chocobo. Go northeast of Corel on your Gold Chocobo and into the cave. The materia is inside. MIME You'll need a Green Chocobo or better. Go to the western-most island, the one with Wutai. Now position yourself west of Rocket Town and you should see it. Ride your Chocobo over the mountains to get to it. The MIME command materia is inside. ======================= Leviathan Scales Part 2 ======================= Did you get the LEVIATHAN SCALES at the submarine dock in Junon? If so, go to Wutai and up the path to Da-chao. Run around until you find a cave and go inside. Run into the fire and the scales will shine and put out the fire. If you put out all of them, you'll get an ORITSURU and STEAL AS WELL materia. ======================= Turtle's Paradise Flyers ======================= As mentioned on the Turtle's Paradise sign (Wutai), six flyers have been hidden all over the world. They promote Turtle's Paradise. If you find all six, talk to the owner for a GUARD SOURCE, LUCK SOURCE, MAGIC SOURCE, MIND SOURCE, SPEED SOURCE, and a MEGALIXIR. Flyer No. 1 - Remember that little boy in the Sector 5 Slums that you stole 5 GIL from? Well, it's in his room on the wall. Flyer No. 2 - It's in the Shinra Building on the First Floor. Flyer No. 3 - Go to Ghost/Hotel Square in Gold Saucer. In the lobby, it's posted where it says "SHOP" on the wall. Flyer No. 4 - It's posted by the desk in the Cosmo Canyon Weapon Shop. Flyer No. 5 - Go inside the Cosmo Canyon Inn and go up the stairs. It should be on the wall near the desk. Flyer No. 6 - In Wutai, go into the house beside the house full of cats. Go downstairs, then check the poster on the wall. ======================= How Cloud Got Involved with the Shinra ======================= Go back to the Shinra Building Basement Lab. You'll see a "cutscene" about Zack, Cloud, and why they were involved with the Shinra. ======================= Ancient Forest ======================= If you've beaten Ultimate Weapon or have a Green Chocobo (or better), you can get there. It's located northwest of Gongaga and southeast of Cosmo Canyon. I have no walkthrough for this part, but I can tell you that you need to use the frogs and flies in the long droopy plants, beehives in the teethed plants, and if you use something wrong, you can go out of the screen and come back in to restore the materials. Items that can be found here are: Apocalypse, Elixir, Spring Gun Clip, Supershot ST, and a Minerva Band. Materia found here: Slash All, Typhon. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= 10. Sunken Gelnika Walkthrough =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= ======================= Gelnika Main Hallway ======================= Run to the save point. You'll find a chest with HEAVEN'S CLOUD inside (a weapon for Cloud). Go through the door closest to the save point. ======================= Gelnika Mako Generator ======================= Here, you can find a MEGALIXIR and an ESCORT GUARD in chests and some DOUBLE CUT materia hiding under/behind the chest in the northeast corner. After going down the stairs, if you go to the northwest corner of the room, you can find a hidden chest containing Yuffie's Ultimate Weapon, the CONFORMER. Leave. ======================= Gelnika Main Hallway ======================= Go left and through the door. ======================= Gelnika Barrel Room ======================= Go through the door in the back of the room. ======================= Gelnika Cargo Room ======================= There's a MEGALIXIR in the chest in front of you. Go down the stairs and take the HADES materia. Then open the two chests down here for Cid's Level 4 Limit Break, the HIGHWIND, and the OUTSIDER, a weapon for Vincent. The final treasure located here in the Gelnika is the SPIRIT LANCE, which is in the chest on the platform above. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= 11. Yuffie's Sub-Quest =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= [On either Disc 1 or Disc 2, head to the western-most continent and land on the shores. Make your way north on foot.] At the top of a mountain, Yuffie will take your materia and get you in a fight with Shinra soldiers. Grrr. I don't like her. Head north after the battle. Go across the 2 bridges, then head south, then east, then north under the bridge. Then go across the next bridge and up to Wutai, which happens to be the place Aeris' non-biological mom's husband was sent. Enter Wutai. ======================= Wutai ======================= Go into the building beside the save point. ======================= Item Shop ======================= Open the treasure chest for MP ABSORB materia! Woo! CRAP! Follow her! ======================= Wutai ======================= Now go into the building closest to the entrance. ======================= Wutai Residence ======================= MORE weirdos? Well...where's the other weirdos? Check the divider. HA! Grr. Follow her out. ======================= Wutai ======================= Where could that loser be? Hmm. Go all the way to the left side of the screen. Hey...that pot's moving! Check it! Punch it 3 times. ======================= Wutai Residence 2 ======================= Follow Yuffie downstairs. Talk to her. Choose whichever lever you want. It yields the same outcome. Leave. ======================= Wutai ======================= Now go up the path in the northwest corner of the town. ======================= Battle Pagoda Courtyard ======================= Go through the doorway on the left and pull that stick. It reveals some doors. Go in them. ======================= Wutai Secret Room ======================= Oh great. Don Corneo. In the treasure chests you'll find a SWIFT BOLT and an ELIXIR. Head up the stairs. ======================= Yuffie's House ======================= Go to the southeastern room and open the secret door. Go through to find a treasure chest. Inside is a HAIRPIN. How helpful. It's a long range weapon for Red XIII. Leave out the front door. ======================= Battle Tower Courtyard ======================= Talk to Reno. Follow him away. ======================= Wutai ======================= NOTE: At this point, you should stock up on FIRE VEILs and SWIFT BOLTs at the Item Shop. Just because you don't have materia doesn't mean you can't use magic! Run to the save point, then go northeast until the screen changes. ======================= Da-Chao Path ======================= Go north until the screen changes. Then go up and around the head until the screen changes. Go into the cave you can see toward the top of the screen. ======================= Firey Cave ======================= There's a DRAGOON LANCE in the green chest. Remember this place, as it will be of some use to you after you acquire the LEVIATHAN SCALES. Leave the way you came in. ======================= Da-Chao Path ======================= Go to the end of the path to the southwest. ======================= Corneo Way ======================= ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Rapps Rec. Level: 30 HP: 6,000 Weak: None Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ This guy's actually pretty hard. Start out with Barret's Mindblow Limit Break. That keeps him from using his powerful 1500 HP Aero3 attack. Just keep using your SWIFT BOLTs and FIRE VEILs. Use X-POTIONs when you get low, and that should just about do it. As long as you take away his MP at the beginning, he's not hard. You get a PEACE RING for winning. Corneo asks you a question, giving you these choices: 1 Because he's ready to die. 2 Because he's sure to win. 3 Because he's clueless. It's always #2! Well, I guess when you're dealing with the Turks, it's: 4 Because it's our job. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= 12. All About Ultimate, Ruby, and Emerald Weapons =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= ======================= Ultimate Weapon ======================= Other than the battle near Cosmo Canyon, he takes 25,000 HP before he leaves. I'm not sure about you, but for me, this is what happened. I first fought him near Junon. Then after I beat him, I kept ramming him until he retreated to the Mt. Nibel area. I then kicked his butt again and kept ramming him until he ran to Gongaga. I beat him again and he stopped near Cosmo Canyon. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Ultimate Weapon (Near Cosmo Canyon) Rec: Level: 55 HP: 15,000 (Approx.) Weak: None Strong: None ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Wow. He's amazingly easy. Just use the same strategies you used to defeat him before. He goes out using the Enemy Skill Shadow Flare. You get 35,000 EXP, 25,000 gil, and the ULTIMA WEAPON for winning. He also falls, creating a big crater which allows you to reach the Ancient Forest without a special Chocobo. ======================= Ruby Weapon ======================= Ruby Weapon is located in the deserts under Gold Saucer after you defeat the Ultimate Weapon. You'll need a Chocobo to reach him. Kill 2 of your party members before encountering him. Trust me. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Ruby Weapon Rec. Level: 95+ HP: 1,000,000 Weak: None Strong: Fire ********************************** \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Ouch. This guy's just as hard as, if not harder than, the Emerald Weapon. After he uses his Whirlsand attack, revive the other characters. Cast KNIGHTS OF ROUND and all your other best summons. Have other characters cast them too or Mime them. There's not much else to it. I hope you don't got anything on your calendar for the next...practically forever. You'll get the DESERT ROSE for winning, which will get you a Gold Chocobo from the Old Man in Kalm. ======================= Emerald Weapon ======================= Alright. Emerald Weapon is located underwater roaming somewhere near the Junon Reactor. Run into him to initiate the battle. If you don't have the UNDERWATER materia, get it. Go to the Junon reactor. More specifically to the part that looks like a walk-through aquarium. Get into a battle with a Ghost Ship and Morph it for the GUIDE BOOK. Go to Kalm and talk to the man in the house furthest to the right and he'll offer to trade you the UNDERWATER materia for the GUIDE BOOK. ////////////////////////////////// ********************************** Boss: Emerald Weapon, Eyes A-D Rec.

Emerald Beam is the powerful attack that hurts the entire party, Emerald Shoot hurts only one person, and the Revenge Stamp hurts your whole party, but is only used as a counter attack.

A nice prize, although not really worth the work. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= 13. All About Materia =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Materia is what all characters in FF7 need to cast magic spells, summon monsters, and execute commands. Materia can also be used to raise such stats as MP and HP. However, Materia isn't ALWAYS good. While Blue/Effect, Purple/Independent, and Yellow/Command Materia rarely hurts your stats, the most important Materia, the Green/Magic and Red/Summon Materia does. Most of the time, Magic and Summon Materia raise your MAGIC and MAX MP, but lower your STRENGTH and MAX HP. It is very important to equip only the Magic and Summon Materia that you are going to use, as the more HP you have, the harder you are to defeat. ======================= Effect Materia ======================= Also known as Support Materia, this category is always paired up with a type of Magic. They always affect the way the magic is used or add an effect to it. For example, Steal as well Materia will automatically cause your character to steal after casting the spell of which the Materia is linked with. ======================= Magic Materia ======================= Magic Materia is the most important group. It makes up the Fire, Ice, Earth, Cure, and lots more. There's not much to say about this group, as it is rather self-explanatory. ======================= Summon Materia ======================= The most powerful and MP-consuming group. Your character summons a monster and your party disappears. That's when the monster appears and attacks your enemy. This Materia highly affects your stats, so you should be careful on how you equip it. ======================= Command Materia ======================= This group is basically the 'miscellaneous' Materia group. Everything ELSE is here. Manipulate, Morph, Sense, Steal...just about everything. Although most of this Materia doesn't hurt much, it won't hurt your stats either. ======================= Independent Materia ======================= My favorite group. This group only helps your stats, so equip as much of it as you can! With some HP UP materia, you can raise your HP to 50% higher than it was. I can't stress the importance of this materia enough! ======================= Master Materia ======================= If you're not a complete freak of this game, don't worry about it. If you are, here's all there is to know. There's 3 types of Master Materia, MASTER COMMAND, MASTER MAGIC, and MASTER SUMMON. To get the MASTER COMMAND Materia, you need to fight enough battles to master each of the following types of materia: Deathblow, Manipulate, Mime, Morph, Sense, and Steal. To get the MASTER MAGIC Materia, you need to fight enough battles to master each of the following types of materia: Restore, Heal, Revive, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Poison, Gravity, Seal, Transform, Time, Barrier, Destruct, Exit, Mystify, Comet, Contain, Full Cure, Shield, Ultima. To get the MASTER SUMMON Materia, you need to fight enough battles to master each of the following types of materia: Choco/Mog, Shiva, Ifrit, Ramuh, Titan, Odin, Leviathan, Bahamut, Kujata, Alexander, Phoenix, Neo Bahamut, Hades, Typhon, Bahamut ZERO, Knights of Round. After mastering the types listed above, go to Bugenhagen's Observatory and ride it to the place with the Huge Materia. Check the corresponding color and choose to Get Closer... and you will get that type of Master Materia. ======================= Materia Caves ======================= There are 4 materia caves hidden in the world. They each require a special type of Chocobo to reach. KNIGHTS OF ROUND materia You'll need a Gold Chocobo for this one. From the Chocobo Farm, go northeast into the ocean. Forget your map, this island won't show up. It's in the northeast corner of the map. It's like a big crater. There's a cave here. Go inside. Check the red light for the materia. QUADRA MAGIC materia This one will most likely require a Blue Chocobo or better. Go east of Mideel where you'll find a chain of islands. One is really long and brown. Land on the green part, then run your Chocobo down the hill and to the end where you'll find a cave. Inside is the materia. HP <-> MP materia You'll need a Black or Gold Chocobo. Go northeast of Corel on your Gold Chocobo and into the cave. The materia is inside. MIME You'll need a Green Chocobo or better. Go to the western-most island, the one with Wutai. Now position yourself west of Rocket Town and you should see it. Ride your Chocobo over the mountains to get to it. The MIME command materia is inside. ======================= Special Materia Combos ======================= If you combine certain materia, special good things will happen. Here's some good combos you may want to consider: Pheonix + Final Attack With this combination, the character will summon Phoenix after losing all of his/her HP. The Phoenix will not only damage the enemy, but revive your KO'd party members. W-Magic, [Magic] + Quadra Magic, [Same Magic] + MP Absorb This will let you cast whatever [Magic] you have equipped 8 times and recover MP while doing it. Sweet. [Strong Summon] + MP/HP Absorb Knights of Round and Bahamut ZERO work well. Sneak Attack + [Your FAV Materia], MP Absorb + [Same Materia] You start a battle casting your favorite spell/summoning your favorite monster, then you get the MP back. Barrier (W/ Reflect) + All, [Your FAV Magic] + All Cast Reflect on your party, then cast your favorite magic on your party. The magic will hit your enemy 3x. [Strong Summon] + MP Turbo Knights of Round works best. With multiple monsters attacking all of your enemies, it can easily take away over 250,000 HP. Elemental + Poison Attacking an enemy with your weapon may poison them. Those are my personal favorites, but you can make your own, too. Just think about it, and maybe you'll get a good idea. ======================= Equipping, Arranging, and Everything Else ======================= Arrange This put the materia in order by type. Exchange This command lets you exchange materia with other members of your party not with you. You can exchange all materia equipped on one person, just the materia on their weapon, just the materia on their armor, or you can exchange materia individually. Remove all This removes all materia currently equipped on the selected character. Trash This lets you trash materia. If you have materia you want to get rid of, don't trash it. Sell it. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= PC Movies Guide =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= You may not know it, but with the PC version of the game, you can view the movies and cutscenes without actually reaching them in the game.

Cheats and Codes =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Item Duplication Glitch Yes, it's a glitch. All you need is the W-ITEM materia. It can be found at the end of the Winding Tunnel (re-visit to Midgar), past all the sector tunnels. After getting it, equip it and get into a battle. Select the item you want to duplicate, then choose a person to use it on. Now you get to select a different item. Choose it, but when it prompts you on who to use it on, press X/CANCEL. Now you have one more of the item you chose to duplicate. You can use this trick over and over. Soft Reset (PSX Only) Hold L1, L2, R1, R2, Select, and Start. This resets the game. Easy Chocobo Races PSX: Hold L1, L2, R1, R2 to increase speed. Hold R1 and R2 to regain stamina. PC: Hold [TARGET] and [PGDOWN] (1 & 3) to regain stamina. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= 20.

First of all, DO NOT TELL ME THAT YOU CAN REVIVE AERIS. I and every other non annoying person on the earth knows you're full of BALOGNA. Don't ask me where to get items, either. As I probably don't know. If you find a mistake, have a walkthrough for the Ancient Forest, or have some other contribution you'd like to make to this FAQ, go ahead and send it to: My E-mail: Benn[at]Linger.com Just put in @ for [at]. NOTE: I have contacted several businesses that deal with e-mail marketing, and they have agreed to log the IP address of anyone who submits my e-mail to their mailing list. So if you wanna spam me...you had better have one good firewall! --------------------------------------------- Thanks to: EastAce ABF JessicaLS Raekwon917, for special info on each character's Ultimate Weapon. --------------------------------------------- You DON'T have permission to post this stuff unless you're listed on my hosting file, located at: http://djbenn.itgo.com/host.txt If you have any questions, see my e-mail above.
