After that go near the entrance of the bar and Barret rushes in. The group talks and talks and talks. Then go downstairs by talking the pinball machine and talk more then go back up stairs and talk to Tifa. There will be a Flashback. Then you wake up down stairs. Go back up and speak with Tifa and Barret and Cloud will get money and Tifa will join the party. IF you don't know how to use materia then answer Barret yes I will explain when he asks how to use materia. If you know how just say no. Now you are able to shop. Go to the shops and buy the items that are right for you. When you get on the second floor, the one with the guy and his dog, walk to the right side, but don't walk into the gate. Grab the all materia and then a treasure box falls down get it. (It is an Ether) there is a save point inside the gate. On the top floor is the inn but you have to pay the kid at the bottom of the place. There is a materia shop and I recommend you buy "fire" and another "ice" or "fire" materia. The players guide says put the "all" materia and the restore materia together so that they are linked on Cloud. But I say it doesn't matter which character you put it on. Make sure you don't load up on materia with your party members because it reduces you HP. After your done go back to the train station and get on the train. Talk to all the people on the train but when you talk to Tifa the alarm sounds and you have to get off the train. There are items that you can get on the train and they are a Phoenix down, Hi potion, ether, and a potion. I will tell you how to get the HI potion, all the rest you get by talking to the people on the train when the alarm sounds. To get the HI potion you have to be on the second car and talk to the guy closet to the end of the car. Then run to the end car where Barret, Tifa and Cloud make a jump for it. When you land your in like a shaft, follow it north till you get to a laser wall thing. There is an air duct right near it, crawl down the duct to get to the reactor and grab the ether while in the duct. Reactor 5 Items: Tent, ether and I think either a Potion or a Phoenix down Climb down the stairs and run over to the big ladder or Wedge. It doesn't matter which way you go. Climb up the ladder and you will see Jessie. Go on the left side of the screen and there is potion hidden behind the wall. The climb down the stairs on the left and then you will see Biggs. Go towards the save point and grab the tent and SAVE your game. Then go into the door past Biggs and slide down the pole. (looks familiar eh)? Do basically the same thing. Go where the long stair way ends and enter that door. Then climb down and go to where you set the bomb before in the other reactor. Cloud has another Flashback. Then go all the way back up to the long stair way and then go into the elevator. You will be upstairs and all your party members need to hit a button at the same time. It is really easy one you understand the pattern. Then go get a Phoenix down in the lower left corner. Then head to the SAVE point and SAVE your game. The head up and to the left, which brings you to a show down with President Shinra. He calls out his Mako soldier, which is a robot, and you have to fight Air Buster. Use Limit breaks and the Bolt spell to hurt him badly. Attacking him from behind hurts more than from the front. Also make sure you heal because Air Buster has a pretty good attack, called Big Bomber. After Air Buster is defeated he explodes and Cloud has to hang on for dear life. Barret and Tifa can't help him because they have to get out of there before the bomb blows up. Cloud can't hold on anymore and he falls down off the reactor onto the slums below. Sector 5 slums Church Items: none Cloud wakes up on a bed of flowers and the flower girl you met earlier is there to see if your OK. This part is really easy and I don't think I need to give much details. Answer her questions then talk to Reno. After that run to the back room and the guards will follow you. Just climb the stairs until Aeris falмЅe#Р љ™5S 2,Rl,RlRR R ЊO(RьR˜RTюR›Є O MS Sans Serif SymbolTimes New RomanTimes New Roman FINAL FANTASY 7 WALK THROUGH Disc 1 # 1 Mako reactor (items to get: 3 potions, Phoenix down, and a "restore" Materia) You start off on a train and you get off. You and a Big Black man (later named Barret) run towards the Mako reactor entrance. A: Check the 2 down guards to get potions and follow Barret. B: Wegde, Jessie and Biggs talk to you and ask you your name, Answer them and then you talk some. Barret comes and then you can name him. Finish that and then walk through the reactor fighting enemies. The enemies are easy so you could probably level up here or wait for Barret to join your party. When you get to the room where the doors have to be opened, talk to Jessie or Biggs then they will open them for you. Get the Phoenix down in the Lower left corner before the Elevator. Go into the Elevator and push the down button. Barret will come out and Jesse, Cloud and Barret will talk about the planet and the AVALANCHE group. Get out of the Elevator and run down all those steps and enter a new room. Then follow Jesse, make sure you get the potion near Jesse. Climb down the ladders and there will be a save point. Save your game and continue down the ramp. Walk up to the little ball looking (its called materia) and take it. That is the restore materia. Walk up to the reactor and Barret tells Cloud to place the bomb. Cloud has some kind of voice talk to him and Barret asks what is wrong. Cloud then places the bomb and you have to fight the Guard Scorpion. Use Cloud's Bolt attack and Barret's Regular attack to kill him easier. During the battle the Guard Scorpion will raise it's tail. Cloud will say not to attack it and you should take his advice. Do not hit the Guard Scorpion when his tail is up. Wait for it to go down then attack it with the same pattern, Bolt, regular attack. If you want to get your limit quicker attack the Guard Scorpion when his tail is up. If you are going to do this I recommend to keep you life higher than 100 HP. (The machine type enemies use bolt on them to kill them easier. ) After you beat the Guard Scorpion, you have 10 minutes to get out of the building. All you have to do go back up the way you came and that is no hard task. Fight the enemies if you want but if you don't then run. (when on your way back up, when you see Jessie make sure free her foot which is caught in the floor). When you get to the Elevator hit the button and go up. Then talk to Biggs or Jesse to open the door and then leave. The game makes you run out and then you see the reactor explode and you have completed your first mission. You end up outside then after the talk go up the stairs onto a new screen. Their you see a flower girl. Talk to her. When you talk to her answer this response "Nothing ... hey, listen" then she will ask if you want to buy flowers. Answer the way you want but I would buy the flowers because later when you go to Tifa's 7th Heaven bar you can give the flower to Marlene or Tifa. The flower only cost 1 gil. Follow the flower girl (Aerith, Aeris same thing) off the screen and then walk mostly south to exit and continue with the game. Make sure you grab the potion right near some guy standing on the screen. After that screen you will walking down an ally and some guards try to fight you. You can choose to run or fight them. It doesn't matter what you do because the game still goes on. After fighting or running you jump on a train and go into a tunnel. Then you see the AVALANCHE talking about Cloud. Cloud makes an entrance and Barret is mad at Cloud. Then the gang goes to the front of the train. Follow then and talk to every one then when your done talk to Jessie and she will show you a map of midgar. Sector 7 Items: "all" materia, Ether After you get off the train go right to the slums and go to Tifa's 7th heaven bar. Walkls then you need to help her. Help her by making her RUN, FIGHT, or HOLD ON. RUN and FIGHT explain them selves. For HOLD ON though you have to push barrels on the guards. In this order if you want to hit all the guards. The one in the top left corner push to hit the first guard. Push the one all the way in the back to hit guard number two. To hit guard number three just push the barrel on the right side. Once Aeris gets to the top you are done and then you leave the church and talk then your headed towards Sector 5 slums. Run in the upper left direction until you pass a SAVE point and then you are on a new map. Then Walk forward and you see two directions to go, Forward and to the right. Go right and then there is Sector 5 slums. Walk around with Aeris, Talk to people, buy weapons, materia, all the usual stuff. (NOTE: when in the little boys room don't take his money and also check the wall for Turtle Paradise's Poster. This Poster is important because if you want to get the items for Turtle Paradise in Wutai you need to read all 6 posters around the world.) When you ready head on to Aeris house which is all the way on the right of the screen when you first enter the Sector 5 slums. Don't go in Aeris house yet because there are two items located to the right of her house. There is a "COVER" materia and an ether. SAVE then go into Aeris's house and speak with her mother. After the talk you are in a room upstairs and you need to sneak out. Sneaking out means WALKING not running down the stairs. When in the room grab the bag next to the door which contains I think a Phoenix down and a potion. Remember the other way to go before you entered the slums. Well, that's where you got to go. When you get there Aeris is waiting and she comes along with you. When you reach the playground Cloud and Aeris talk and then a Chocobo cart comes out of Sector 7. Tifa? Follow the easy path out of Sector 6 till you reach the wall market. Wall Market- Items to get- Ether, Hyper, Phoenix down First go the tavern and speak to the owner of the DRESS SHOP. He'll be happy to make the dress but you have to talk him into making you one for you. Pick Soft and Shimmer out of the choices to get the best dress (don't try on the dress if you want cloud to have a complete disguise). Now to get the wig you have to go to the gym and beat the muscle man in a squat contest its pretty easy. Just tap square, X, and circle buttons in that order. Don't press it to fast or you will mess up and cloud will scratch his head and you will loss precious timing. Once you have beaten him you will get the Blonde wig if you lost you will get the dyed Wig which is OK. Once your done you can either go to the Corneo mansion right away or you can go collect some more items to make cloud look more like a woman. I prefer you pick up the other items. Now its time to get your cologne. To get the cologne it is pretty easy. Go to the bar and talk to the guy who is waiting to use the bathroom. Then talk to the lady who is in the bathroom she needs some medicine. Go to the restaurant that has IN as a placemat Go to that restaurant and order any meal. Then you get a coupon. then go to the pharmacy and get the digestive medicine. Then head back to the lady who needs medicine give it to her and she will give you SEXY COLOGNE. Now head to the materia shop and speak to the guy behind the counter. He needs you to do a favor for him. Make a small purchase at the vending machine, he'll compensate for you time. Make sure you have at least 210 gil. Go to the inn and spend the night (10 gil) . Cloud will wake up in the middle on the night and then he will go over to the vending machine buy the most expensive item which is (200 gil) . And then return to the materia shop in the morning. The owner thanks you for the help and he gives you the Diamond Tiara. Its time to check out the Honey Bee Inn (located southeast in wallmarket). Before you do talk to the man walking around the just west of the Honey Bee Inn. He gives you the members card if you want to get inside you need this card. Once your inside you can look inside the two room through the keyholes to see what's inside. When you go into a room regardless of the room you picked you will be given an undergarment of some sort. Before leaving the honey bee enter the dressing room and the people in there would be happy to put make up on your face. No leave the Honey Bee Inn. and Go back to the dress shop that you went to in the beginning. Then try on everything That's it your disguise is now complete. Now it is time to visit Don Corneo’s Mansion. (Very north part of wallmarket.) When you enter the mansion, you're given a chance to search for Tifa. To find her enter the open door on the second story. You will find her alone at the bottom of the stairs. Talk to her, then when Don Corneo’s guard yells down the stairs, head back up the into Don's Room. (the main room). If you collected the Silk Dress, Blonde Wig, Sexy Cologne, Diamond Tiara, undergarment, and make-up. Corneo will pick cloud as his lucky guest. (If you didn't collect all the items Corneo will pick Aeris or Tifa) When Cloud is chosen he foes straight into Don's bedroom. If he is not chosen you will have to put up with Corneo thugs first. cloud is then taken to a side room as a reward to Corneo’s faithful few. You can run around as much as you want but the guy guarding the door won't let you leave. You'll need to speak to Scotch and reveal that you are a boy if you want to leave. But if you do you will have to fight him. He is much tougher then other goons but he is still EASY. After you escape either, Tifa joins you party in the hall or you'll have to retrieve Aeris from the basement before heading for Corneo’s basement.(THIS SCENARIO DEPENDS UPON WHO WAS CHOSEN) (IF CLOUD GETS CHOSEN)-As Corneo’s Friend for the night, you'll start in his bedroom and get to decide for yourself what you want him/you to do.(make sure you check behind his bed to get the hyper) Eventually Tifa and Aeris bust into the room and together the team makes Don spill the beans. (listen carefully) Its seems Heidgegger of Shinra hired the Don to investigate Barret and locate Avalanche hideout. Shinra planned on exterminating Avalanche after infiltrating the hideout by destroying sector 7 . This would cause the plate above to crush the entire sector. Before the team can leave Don Corneo turns the tables by using a trap door. THE SEWERS AND TRAIN GRAVEYARD- Items to get-POTION ,"STEAL" MATERIA, HI POTION, ECHO SCREEN ETHER Make sure your guys are fully prepared for a boss. Give cloud a crystal materia or two and equip Tifa with a new weapon. Make sure all your guys have fire materia and have fully recovered. Boss Name: APPS HP: unknown Mp: unknown APS most powerful attack is Tsunami, a water attack that causes damage to your entire party, however it also takes away some of his life. Make sure you cast fire as many times as you could. (AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE) But don't forget to cure yourself. If you get a limit break use it then keep one person casting fire. Don't use up your Mp. Let the other 2 party members use regular attacks and spells to beat him. That is what you do to beat this boss.(CLOUD’S LIMIT BREAK CROSS SLASH WILL PARALYZE APS FOR MOST OF THE FIGHT) When APS defeated, your party is about to make a long trip through the sector 7 slums, make sure they have over 250 HP for fights. There are a few items to pick up in the sewers. As soon begin walk forward then proceed up the ladder near the bottom of your screen when your above the ladder walk to the left to pick up the Potion. Make your way down the ladder and up the one at the top of your screen. Cross the red pole connecting the two ledges to get to the other side. Head north before you go in the next sewer room pick up the Steal Materia located on the ledge your on. Proceed into the next room. Head up the ladder to get out of the sewers. When you exit the sewers you party will be in an area called the TRAIN GRAVEYARD. There are pretty hard monsters in this area so save before you continue on. Don't forget to use a tent at the save point. TRAIN GRAVEYARD ITEMS: 1 ECHO SCREEN, 3 POTIONS, 3 HI POTIONS, 1 ETHER (Most of the items in the grave yard are hidden in those trash cans. If you see a trash can search it and you should find an item. The other items are either in the train car or on top of the train car.) From the SAVE point walk into the train and a little north to find the first item. Then when you reach the end of the train go west till you are out of it. You should see a trash can, go over there and use the search/talk button to find another item. GO back in the train and go upwards to the North. Then you should be on another train car. (either the one with the big pipe ladder or the one next to the big pipe ladder) Go down the pipe ladder and then go north to grab another item. Walk around the big pipe and you should be able to enter another train car. Go a little south to get another item inside the train car. When your reach the end of that train car get off where like a little ramp way is. There should be a ladder that you climb to get on top of the train car. Then head north while on top of the ghost train thing. There should be another ladder. Climb down it and enter the other train car. The go up(north) till you can get off the train car. Then go up to you get to a new screen. When you first enter the new screen you can automatically see the trash can and an item on the left hand side. You also can see a two train cars. Go to the first train car you can enter and enter it. The train will move right moving another box car away. Hop in the second train to move it so it makes a bridge to sector 7. Then go to the ladder next to the train on the right and climb it. Then cross the bridge you made and climb down the ladder. If you hit select on the controller a red marker appears, just go toward it and that's your way out. Now you are in Sector 7 train station. Go towards Tifa's seventh heaven bar and then you are stooped when you hear gun shots from he top of the tower. Barret? If you talk to the townspeople you can buy items from them. After that go inside the gate and save your game. Then climb the long stairs up to the top. Only Tifa and Cloud are in your party. So use magic and regular attacks, also make sure to heal when you get to the top. (Aeris leaves the party to get Marlene out of the bar) When you get to the top Barret is there shooting people. It gives you a chance to equip Barret, so equip him good for the battle coming up. When you walk over to the key board Reno of the Turks is there to set a bomb to blow up this pillar. You have to fight Reno, he is easy. Use limit breaks and materia. When Reno uses Pyramid one character is out for the battle, and if he does this to all 3 members it is game over. But there is a way to counter this, all you have to do is hit the pyramid surrounding the character (example: Hit right on the D-pad and the hand cursor moves on Barret, and the Pyramid is on Tifa. Just move the cursor till it is on top of Tifa or the Pyramid.) After you beat Reno try to disarm the bomb, UH OH seems like you can't disarm the bomb. Talk to your party members and then you decide to jump to safety. Before you jump you notice that Aeris got taken by the Shinra, and Aeris tells Tifa that Marlene is safe. After you jump you end up on the sector 6 playground and Barret is really pissed. He thinks Marlene died along with Biggs, Jessie, and Wedge. After you talk and leave the play ground alone with Cloud. Barret and Tifa come with you. Make sure you back to the playground and pick up that yellow sense materia laying on the ground near the entrance to the play ground. Walk back through the Sector 6 place and go to Aeris house. Talk to Aeris's mother and then visit Marlene upstairs. If you didn't get the items in the room where can sleep get them now because this might be your last chance. After your done in her house, SAVE, then head to the wallmarket. Go all the way back near Corneo’s Mansion but go to the right. Remember the pipe. You cant climb the pipe till you buy the batteries. SO go to the weapons shop and don't talk to the guy that sells you weapons but talk to the other guy in that shop. He will sell you batteries. Then go back to the pole and start to climb it. Place the batteries in the slots where it says to place the batteries. Place the first battery to start the propeller, place the second battery to lift the guard rail, and the third battery is an ether. This wall that you have to climb is easy. After you reach the top you are at the Shinra Building. SAVE your game at the SAVE point. SHINRA BUILDING KEY ITEMS: Midgar Parts ITEMS: ELIXIR, 60th FLOOR KEYCARD, 62nd FLOOR KEYCARD, "ELEMENTAL" MATERIA, 63 64 65 KEYCARDS, STAR PENDANT, FOUR SLOT, "ALL" MATERIA, (EITHER ETHERS POTIONS OR PHOENIX DOWNS IN THE LOCKERS ON THE 64 FLOOR) 66 KEYCARD, "POISON" MATERIA , "ENEMY SKILL" MATERIA, (2 HI POTIONS AND 2 POTIONS OR IT IS 4 POTIONS) SHINRA CORPORATE TOWER Save your game here. Afterwards your given the option of going to the front or taking the stairs. They both lead to the same place so you decide. If you go through the stairs there are no enemies but it'll take you about fifteen minutes to get past them cause they are extremely long. If you take the stairs explore each set of stairs and check the fifth staircase to pick up an ELIXIR. If you take the front a bunch of people will run out of the building except for some Grenade Combatants. Taking this area is alot shorter than the stairs and you recieve Gil, Expierience, and Ability Points. In this area your forced to fight random encounters, but the battles aren't too difficult. On the second tier you can buy some supplies and watch a video of Shinra Motors before moving on. Now go to the elevators in the back and move to the 59th Floor. In the elevator an alarm sounds and you are forced to fight a number of battles that the team easily wins. When you reach the 59th floor go to the yellow staircase and fight the guards to recieve the KEYCARD 60. This will allow you access to the see- through elevator and will let you go back down to the lobby where you can save and rest. When you reach this floor you'll see four guards the block your path. You can only get through if you move behind the statues when the guards turn to walk. You must also call your fiends over(Tifa and Barret) and signal them to move to each statue when the cost is clear. If you mess up and get caught by the guards you are forced to fight two guards and you must start over from the beginning. Well when I was here I kept fighting the guards until there were no more left and I easily went to the next staircase. It might be different for some people because you have to fight alot of battles. When you reach the 61th floor south of the staircase. He will tell you about Aeris and give you the KEYCARD 62. When you reach the 62nd floor go all the way to the left of the floor and talk to Mayr Domino. He'll give you a challenge to figure out a password. You can visit Hart just outside the office and buy tips from him, but they get steeper everytime. If you can get the password in the first try you get the ELEMENTAL MATERIA. But you can go to the library in the middle of the floor to figure out the clues. There are four different libraries on this floor each of them contains a letter to the password. When you enter each library read the plaque outside to see which library it is. Now check the number on each file. Some numbers don't belong in that particular library. If the file starts with a number 6 check the 6th letter in the file. If you see this file "Modern history of Midgar Space program vol. 1" then just go back to Mayor Domino and pick MAKO as your password because the 16th letter of the file name is the letter M. When that's done the Mayor will give you the KEYCARD 63, KEYCARD 64, and KEYCARD 65. You can save yourself a ton of time if you just try to figure out the password on your own by guessing the password. If you so happen to miss the passowrd on theFirst visit the computer on the bottom right handed side of the floor and talk to the computer and you'll get a chance to open three security doors. When you first talk to the computer and recieving the chance to open the three security doors first go ALL the way up to the north part of the floor and open the first door from the right and open the third door from the RIGHT and go to the room in the left to get the coupon and return to the computer for your prize which includes a STAR PENDANT, FOUR SLOT, and ALL MATERIA. Now go back to the same procedure as above and when you enter the room go through the duct and you'll enter at the room in the middle and open the box to recieve the ITEM COUPON, now go out of that room, but not the duct and open the next door on your LEFT and enter the room to recieve the last ITEM COUPON. Now return to the computer to recive your items and head for the 64th floor. When you reach the 64th floor go all the way to the left side of the floor where you can rest and save. It's wise to save here so just go ahead and save it. Now head for the lockers in the north part of the floor and check the lockers to recieve the MEGAPHONE. This item is useless now but you'll probably need it later as a weapon. After wards go on to the 65th floor. Here on this floor you are forced to fight serveral pretty easy battles. Now go all the way to the west side of the floor and enter the top room and all the way to the left of the room is your first Midgar part in which you place at the center of the floor, place the part in a counter clockwise pattern. Now go back to the west side of the floor but enter the bottom room and collect the Midgar part on the left side of the room and place it in the next slot in the Midgar model. Now go back to the west side of the floor and enter the top room and get the Midgar part up on the north part of the room. Now place it on the Midgar model. Now go back to the west side of the room and enter the bottom room and get the Midgar part and place it in the Midgar Model. Now go to the room northeast of the floor and collect the last Midgar part and place it in the center of the room. Afterwards you'll here the same sound that opens the boxes as you heard earlier. Now go to the staircase and pick up the KEYCARD 66 that you couldn't pick up when you came in this floor and head for the 66th floor. When you arrive here head for the bathroom in the northwest corner of the floor and climb up the toilet and into the ducts to overhere the meeting in the office. Now head back out and go back to the stairs to the 67th floor. Upon arriving on the 67th floor you'll see a guy in a white gown now follow him to the southwest corner of the floor and into the storage room and collect 4 POTIONs. When you encounter a Soldier:3rd make sure to steal the Hardedge from them. This is Cloud's best weapon of choice as of now. Also fight some Moth Slashers you know the machines with spinning spikes at the bottom and steal a couple of Carbon Bangles from them. This is the strongest type of armor in the game as of now. If you recieved the FOUR SLOTS earlier you might only want to steal two CARBON BANGLES because the FOUR SLOT has 4 linked materia slots so you can give it to Barret and put him in the back and make him your basic materia user or healer. When your in the storage room check the giant tank that reads Jenova and Cloud realizes that Sephiroth is near by. Before you go to the 68th floor equip the POISON MATERIA, which can be found in the center of the floor on either one of your party member's armor with the ELEMENTAL MATERIA in the same slot. And if you have a STAR PENDANT equip that with someone else so you'll be protected from poison. When you arrive you'll see Aeris in a specimen tank along with a strange red dog. When you free them both the mystreious dog offers his help so send Tifa with Aeris and let Barret remain in your party. Now Hojo will send his latest creation. BOSS: SAMPLE: HO512 & SAMPLE: HO512-OPT HP:1800 SAMPLE: HO512-OPT HP: 200 Item: Tailsman This boss is pretty tough, but nothing the team can't handle. Don't worry about SAMPLE: HO512-OPT(the little eye guys) because they'll keep coming back to life. This boss will sometimes poision your party member if he/she is protected by the ELEMENTAL-POISION MATERIA combination then he/she should be fine. This goes the same if someone else is equipped with a Star Pendant. If someone is poisoned you an ANTIDOTE to get rid of it. Always attack the guy in the middle(SAMPLE: HO512) and never hit anybody or anything else. If he goes they go. Afterwards collect the ENEMY SKILL MATERIA from the giant lab tank and just keep talking to Hojo's lab assistant and he'll give you the KEYCARD 68. Now go back to the 66th floor and head for the elevators. Before you can go anywhere Tseng and Rude cut you off. IMPRISIONED President Shinra explains his interest over the Cetra or Ancients. What he's really after is Mako energy and Aeris is the key to the Promised Land. After the long talk you'll be taken captive in holding cells on the 67th floor. When Cloud is in the holding cell speak with the other party members and take a nap. When Cloud awakes he'll notice that the security dors have been unlocked. Go outside the door and talk to the injured guard and go back to your holding cel and talk to Tifa. After you aquire the cell key from the injured guard free the others and follow the trail of blood that leads to the president's office. You'll see that President Shinra is dead and with the look of the sword on his back it looks like the Masamune! Only Sephiroth could handle the destructive power of this sword. Cloud now will take the opportunity to meet the new president of Shin-Ra, Rufus who has his helicopter lying on top of the building. Now when Tifa is gone to stay behind and wait for Cloud give Aeris the LIGHTNING MATERIA and any other materia. Now give Red XIII the ICE MATERIA before you head on. Don't forget to put al characters in the back row. Now when your done head for the elevators and they encounter another high tech machine by Shinra. BOSS: Hundred Gunner HP: 1600 If someone does not have a long range weapon or equipped with some spell materia then your in deep trouble. But you'll want to keep you party members in the back so they sustain less damage. Have Aeris constantly use BOLT because it'll do alot of damage and have Red XIII use ICE while Barret use his regular attacks. When your Limit Breaks are up use them. When you get it down to about 300 HP he'll prepare for its super weapon the Sensor Cannon. It'll take it two rounds for it to actually fire the cannon, but that should be enough to finish him off. When he's through he'll transform into the Heli Gunner BOSS: Heli Gunner HP: 1000 Item: Mythril Armlet This boss is similar to the first except when it nears about 250 HP it'll boost up its attacks and sometimes cause some negative status effects on the party. That's why its a good time to equip yourself with the STAR PENDANT or the POISON-ELEMENTAL MATERIA combination. POISON however will not work against either of these two bosses nor any other negative status effects that you can put on them because their machines. Basically this is the same fight as the first and keep your HP above 200. After the tough boss fight Cloud has his boss to deal with. Appaerently Rufus is also after the promised land and just when Cloud and Rufus were becoming best friends. Your given the chance to equip cloud, but if you have a spare RESTORE MATERIA equip it with Cloud. BOSS: Rufus HP: 500 Dark Nation HP: 200 Items: Power Vest and Power Source This fight will be tough because Dark Nation will provide all the potection on himslef and Rufus so kill Dark Nation first and concentrate on Rufus. If your in the back row with Cloud have him change and put him in the front row because with Rufus' barrier and your weakened back row attacks you'll have a long fight against this guy. Just keep pounding on Rufus and use your Limit Breaks when available. Afterwards leave and find Tifa but don't forget to save behind the desk. Now set all back row members in the front and front row members in the back for the fight later. Tifa will rush down the stairs and tell the rest of the party to follow her and she'll fill them in on the way. So what's Cloud doing? He's borrowing one of the new high tech Shin-Ra motorcycles while the rest of the party ride on the new Shin-Ra truck. Here you'll enter a mini-game and you'll see the Lifebar above and below Cloud. They are there for two reasons: 1.If any party member or Cloud loses the green part of the bar you must start over. 2.The damage incurred will be carried on to the next battle. Basically stay near the truck and swat away the motorcycles coming towards you. Never stay far off from your truck because other bikers will follow in and hit the truck causing damage to your party members. Try using the Domino Effect by knocking down a biker in front of another biker so that they both fall down and slide across the pavement. This mini-game is fairly long but still is alot of fun. When you reach the end of the road get ready for yet your fifth boss fight. BOSS: Motor Ball HP: 2600 Item: Star Pendant Remember when you were to switch your party members in reverse order? Well for this boss you'll see why. This boss will be one tough fight. He gets the first attack on your party causing 80-95 HP of damage to every character. Have Aeris use BOLT because as of to this point she has the most magic power you can cause almost 300 HP of damage with her. But the problem is is that you can't choose the three of five thats gonna fight. The only person you know will fight is Cloud. The other two members in your party are random. But if she is in your party for the fight have Aeris' use BOLT. Have Cloud attack regularly in the front row and have Barret attack from the back row since he has a long range weapon. When the Motor Ball starts to stand up its preparing for its Rolling Fire attack that can inflict up to 280 HP of damage to all characters so watch out! Use limit breaks when neccessary. Its good that you have Cloud with the RESTORE-ALL MATERIA combination so he can heal the party after the Rolling Fire attack. If you see him standing up make sure all party members' HP are above 300. And try to do so throughout the fight. When the battle is over with you(yes you the player not Cloud) are about to explore some real interesting areas you never saw in the dark and gloomy Midgar. This is the point where everything starts to unfold with the WHITE and BLACK MATERIA and you'll know who Zack is soon enough. Is Cloud really Cloud? Is he a fake? Well I'm not going to spoil it for you here. Until the time comes I'll spill my guts. Sephiroth obviously headed for Kalm and Cloud knows he's out there. What does Jenova have in connection with Sephiroth? Well take once good long kiss goodbye to Midgar because it'll be some time before you'll need to come back here. SEPHIROTH and CLOUD FIGHTING TOGETHER? When you walk out of Midgar go northeast into a Kalm. You might want to save it when you first leave Midgar because some enemies can get pretty nasty out here. Well once you get inside you can search around if you like and if you do first go into the first three houses on the left side of Kalm. When you go inside the first two houses pick up an ETHER from each house. Now go to the next house and pick up the PEACEMAKER, no this weapon is not for Barret, its for somebody else. In the next area pick up the GUARD SOURCE. Now go to the Kalm Traveler's house in the southeast part of town and pick up an ETHER inside. You can visit the shops but don't buy any weapons for Cloud since the weapons here don't match the HARDEDGE. Buy some armor if you like but its best to save your money. You can go to the Materia shop and pick up some new Materia. Only two new materia should you keep your eyes focused on and they are the EARTH MATERIA and HEAL MATERIA. Once your done exploring go to the Inn, your friends are waiting upstairs and the night is free. It doesn't really matter if you go to the Inn first or looked around town first because Barret will still be pissed off at you being so late. This is where I spoil things for you so if you don't want to find out what happens don't read on. When Cloud begins you see him in a truck walking around and being so excited that he's in SOLDIER. When the truck stops another creature created by Mako confronts both Sephiroth and Cloud, Cloud barely tickles the green dragon, but Sephiroth kills it with once swift of his Masamune Blade. Sephiroth level is at 50 and your at level one so you can actually picture how strong this guy is. Once your in Mt.Nibel the monsters create by Mako don't get any easier, but Sephiroth breaks them with an Ice3 spell, while Cloud just stands there as a punching bag. Well at Nibelheim Cloud gets a chance to visit all the people in the town as well as Tifa's house. Go to Tifa's house(the house next to Cloud's on the bottom left corner) and play the piano upstairs and write this down: Do-Re-Mi-Ti-La Do-Re-Mi-So-Fa-Do-Re-Do Now put it somewhere so you won't lose it. You'll need this for the Final Heaven later on. When your done with the piano and talked to Cloud's mother about him needing a quiet girlfriend go back to where Sephiroth entered. Afterwards you are taken outside and a photographer wants your picture. Sephiroth hesitates a little but goes forth with it. He mentions about giving each one of you a copy of the picture. When you reach Mt.Nibel you stumble upon the bridge and lead Cloud through the mountains. When Sephiroth arives at the Mako reactor chamber he goes berserk with his sword slashing at the test tanks, then it hits him. Is this what I'm truely am? "I knew I was special but not like this" when you have Cloud look in the giant test tank you'll see a once human life form transformed into a hideous and bizzare creature. At this point Cloud freaks out and slumps to the floor. When Sephiroth is gone go back to Nibelheim and go to the mansion in the middle of town. First take the stairs and enter on the right and go down the long tube. Here you'll find a library with Sephiroth in it. It appears he wants to learn about Hojo's Mako expieriments. Sephiroth will spend all night reading the books so have Cloud move to the other room on the second floor and have him rest. When he wakes up the guard is gone and the library has books all over the floor. Go outside the mansion and the town is ablazed! What happen here? It appears that Sephiroth is ashamed of his origin and he goes on a killing spree burning the town and killing the people in it, including Cloud and Tifa's parents. Here you'll see some cool scenes that should look extremely familiar if you have seen the T.V. ads and magazine ads. When Cloud arrives at Mt.Nibel he finds that Tifa wants revenge for what happened to her parents and tries to kill Sephiroth but wasn't very successful. Then Cloud comes and go talk to Tifa and put her to the side. When Cloud goes in the Reacor core Sephiroth is looking over the 2000 year old geological stratum called Jenova. It appears that this creature of some sort is Sephiroth's mother. Here you'll go through another scene with graphics that should look very familar. Here Cloud wants all the answers about what Sephiroth has done. Tifa was nearly killed as both Cloud and Tifa appraoched Sephiroth. Afterwards Cloud can't remember what happened after the tragic moment. Now when your story is told go downstairs and talk to Barret to recieve the PHS which is like a phone and you can call and rearrange your party members on a save point or on the world map. This will come useful later on. Afterwards you can fight the Custom sweepers just ouside of Kalm and steal Atomic Scissors, which is Barret's strongest weapon up to this point of the game. If you haven't explored Kalm earlier go ahead and do so now and you might want to restock on your supplies. If your low on money fight the enemies around town and save when your weak. Now its onward for the search for Sephiroth. SEARCH FOR SEPHIROTH When your out of Kalm head east until you see a ranch. This walk wil be fairly long and the enemies might give you some trouble, so take the neccessary supplies and head forth. When you reach this area go inside and into the Chocobo Ranch. First off talk to the closest chocobo near you and say "Wark" after the chocobos dance you'll recieve your first SUMMON MATERIA of the game. It's also the weakest but at this point of the game its alot stronger than what you can dish out! When you go inside the ranch speak with Chocobo Billy and he'll tell you that you need a chocobo to cross the marsh. But he doesn't have a chocobo for you, but you can lure them out with the CHOCOBO LURE MATERIA he has for 2000 Gil. At this point this will most likely be all that you can afford and you'll also need to buy a green to keep the chocobo from running away. Buy a TANTAL green and head out afterwards. Now walk olong the chocobo tracks along the area of the Ranch, you know those "V" shaped marks on the grassy terrain. When you hear sort of a cowboy music that is completely different form regular battles you know that you have a chocobo. When your in battle immediately give the chocobo a green. You might want to move the green to the top so you won't waste time searching for it. When the chocobo is given a green quickly finish off the other enemies and don't hit the chocobo or else you'll have wasted your money you spent for the green and forced to try again. Don't wait to long to give the chocobo the green either because the opponent will attack your party members and the chocobo hates violence and will run off. If you do cause alot of damage to a chocobo he'll attack everybody and run off. After you have captured a chocobo don't hit the X button until you have safely reached the Mythril Mine down south of the chocobo ranch. When you reach the swamp or marsh stay away from the serpant's shadow or you'll be force to fight the Midgar Zolom here are it's stats: HP: 4000 MP: 348 EXP: 250 Gil: 400 AP: 25 Susceptable to GRAVITY As you can see this guy doesn't give much and he will finish off your party in a snap of a finger. While your on your chocobo you won't encounter any enemies except for this one. You won't be strong enough to kill it in a long while. Just stay away from it. When you reach the entrance to the Mythril Mine you'll see a Midgar Zolom slaughtered on a tree. Sephiroth knows your coming and that's his warning sign. Now do you get the idea of how strong he is? NOTE: You really don't need a chocobo for this part, but your chances escaping from the Midgar Zolom will be down, but that doesn't mean you still don't have a good chance at dodging it. The serpent is about 40% faster than you are, but if you have quick reflexes go ahead and dodge it, but save before entering the marsh. When you reach inside the Mythril Mine go to the right and when you see a vine hanging out climb it and you'll reach the top of a tier go to the treasure bx to collect the LONG RANGE MATERIA, this materia will allow you to put any party member in the back and cause the same amount of damage as if they were in thr front without taking alot of damage. Now climb back down and climb the rock stairs on the right and pick up an ETHER on the stairs and go to the treasure chest to pick up a TENT. When your all through go back out to the entrance and from the netrance go south down the cave until you see a treasure chest go to it and open it up to reveal a MIND SOURCE. Now go to the left and in the next sceen you'll encounter Tseng and Rude of the Turks along with the newest member Elena. She'll screw up and talk about Sephiroth heading for Junon Harbor. You should see the words highlighted to tel you exactly where you need to go. Whne your coversation with the Turks is over head north of the cave and into another area, here you'll see a green light the background that's the Mako energy. Pick up the ELIXIR just in front of you and the HI-POTION in the back. Now head out of the Mythril Mine and onward to Junon Harbor. FORT CONDOR and the STRATEGY GAME You'll notice a trophy like icon on the world map go inside and take a look around. At this point of the game this place is completely optional. You are welcomed to visit this place and participate in the strategy battle by speaking to the man at the top of Fort Condor. You can help pay for troops if you like, but you may want to rest and save at the bottom of the Fort. When your all done leave and head for the grassy area near Junon Harbor. You can't buy any items if you don't participate in the battle. The Materia and items sold here are nothing to worry about because you already have what they're selling. MYSTERY NINJA LEVEL: 32 Northwest of Fort Condo you should find a forest with a mystery ninja around. This part is a real spoiler and completely optional and has nothing to do with beating the game. BOSS: Mystery Ninja Level: 32 HP: (Basically depends on what level your at the higher your level the more HP she has. Just hit her with your normal attacks and you should be fine. She shouldn't be much of a problem. Afterwards talk to to the downed ninja and do not save. She'll ask you to fight one more time, just say your "Not interested." She begins to taunt you and will ask if you are scared of her you reply by "Petrified." Afterwards she turns her back and starts to leave and you tell her to "Wait a Second." She's listening and she asked if you want her along you reply: "...That's right." She agrees and you say "...Let's hurry on." Don't ak her for her name because she'll just leave. Now go northwest and look for a giant cannon sticking out of a military base on the side of a montain near the waters. JUNON HARBOR and PRISCILLA Before you go to the shores give Cloud the LONG RANGE MATERIA and switch him to the back row. Now have Barret equipped with his ASSULT GUN. Now give your thrid party member any other materia and put him or her in the backrow. Make sure the third member has a ALL-RESTORE MATERIA combination. Now when you enter this dark town you might want to rest outside of Junon Harbor using a TENT. Now save your game and head for the shores just south Junon inside the town. Along the shores you'll see a girl named Priscilla playing with a dolphin and she asks you to leave immdiately because she thinks your with the Shin-Ra. When you are about to leave Priscilla gets attacked by a sea serpent. BOSS:Bottomswell HP: 2000 Item: Power Wrist Just have your long ranged characters attack regularly and have your thrid party member use FIRE or ICE or LIGHTNING on Bottomswell and have that same party member heal your party when your HP drops below 200. This isn't any easy fight, because one of your characters will sometimes be encased in a giant water bubble and can no longer participate in the battle except: 1. You pop the bubble with magic not physical attacks 2. Or you can wait till they sufocate and then bring them back to life with a PHEONIX DOWN When one of your party members are encased they slowly lose their HP so make sure to take neccessary precuations. When you kill Bottomswell it'll use the Big Wave. Just make sure to keep your HP above 200 and you should be fine. It seems that Priscilla isn't breathing! You must perform CPR on her or she'll die. When Cloud's lungs fill up hit the O button to release the air back in. Don't over inhale because Cloud will exhale. Don't worry she can't die because she's not suppose to. When she starts to breathe she'll need to rest. Now go to the lady in front of Junon and take her up on he offer and spend the night at her house. When your done Cloud starts hearing voices and asks Tifa about Nibelheim. When your through go speak with Priscilla and she'll give you the SHIVA MATERIA your second SUMMON MATERIA of the game. Now you need a way to the top of Junon but how? Priscilla got it! You can hop on her dolphin friend and reach the top. First find the spot to want to jump from and call Mr.Dholphin. This is a little easier than the swinging pole at the Wall Market but still pretty fustrating. Just keep trying until you make it. JUNON BASE When your here keep going left until you see a little yellow box. go to that box and switch it to make the lift go down. You'll here some pretty energetic music here and for a reason. The new Shin-Ra president is arriving, Rufus. When you reach to the door at the end your wlecomed to save it but not now. Go to the northern room when you enter and you'll come in the locker room. The captain will just think your out of uniform and he'll lend you another one. In here you are to perform the traditional Shin-Ra greeting. Just follow what the soldiers do and you do the same. You are chosen to give the final greeting which is Cloud's winning pose and the troops will be amazed! When all is done and done follow the commander through a shortcut to the parade. Here gets quite difficult because Cloud must get to the back row without messing things up. You'll see a rating chart at the botom of the screen that basically tells you waht kind of item you get. The higher the rating the better the item(s). 29% or lower Grenade 30%-39% POTION(6) 40%-49% ETHER(6) 50% or higher 5000 Gil After you make it through the new Shin-Ra president will be very pleased and you also know that Sephiroth is here, but you can't do anything now. Your captain will give you a little practice before performing the proper greeting. Take your time to practice and head out. Make sure you visit all the shops in Junon because there are alot of freebies. Make sure you pick up: 1/35 SOLDIER(2) SPEED SOURCE POWER SOURCE LUCK SOURCE GUARD SOURCE MIND SOURCE ENEMY SKILL MATERIA. Here you'll find some pretty good shops and you have two materia to look out for, SEAL MATERIA and REVIVE. You can buy some new armor and accessories cause you'll need them. The items in Junon are quite steep but if you perform well you can save yourself the Gil. When your all done go to the dock and you are now tested to perform your greeting. If the president's mood is high your item will be high in value as well. Look at the chart below. 0-50 Sunglasses 51-99 HP PLUS MATERIA 100+ FORCE STEALER(Cloud's strongest sword as of now) When your all done go into the boat. ALL ABOARD! When you reach aboard talk to the people wandering around, hey wait a minute! How your other party members get onboard? Well anyways just don't forget the items like the ETHER on the left side of the bottom floor of the boat and the ALL MATERIA just across from the ETHER to the right side. Now there's a save point on the deck of the boat save it cause its a must. Now go to the fron of the boat and talk to Barret serveral times and an alarm sounds off, what! Did one of your party members get caught? Wait their talking about a man in a black cape, that's Sephiroth! Sephiroth is onboard! Now go down and head for the room the guard was previoulsy standing in front of and you'll engage in a storyline. Pick up the Wind Slash just in front of the dead guard and head for Sephiroth but wait, what's this? BOSS: Jenova-Birth HP: 6000 Item: White Cape & Ifrit Materia Now this boss is obviously not an easy fight, but don't worry the other fights with Jenova get easier. First off continue to cast all your summons and when you run out use the FIRE MATERIA to cause some good damage. Watch out when she cast STOP on one of your characters which will paralyze your characters temporarily. Watch out when she uses her Tail Laser which can cause up 400 HP of DMG. Just keep your HP up around 300 and move quickly and get organized before the battle. After a long fight your fast approaching Costa Del Sol. BEACH TOWN When you reach here its nice, warm, and pleasant. Too bad! Because you still have a lot of work to do. When you first approach this town go take the stairs next to the entrance and enter the side of the house that says "Costa Del Sol." Inside you can buy the house for 300,000 Gil, yeah its cheap, but you might wanna rather take the items in the basement. Down the basement you'll find a FIRE RING, POWER SOURCE, and a MOTOR DRIVE which is Tifa's strongest weapon up to this point. Go ahead and visit the shops and kick the ball a few times and head out. Now head west to Mt.Corel. And buy those softs! HIKING TIME! When you reach Mt. Corel you'll find plenty of items worth taking. When you reach the reactor there's just nothing to do inside for now head down towards the railroad tracks. Occasionally you fall but as long as you hold right or left and quickly tap the O button as your falling you should pick up a Star Pendant and a Wizard Staff. Now when you reach the tracks the look like they cross each other take the top bridge and pick up a W MACHINE GUN for Barret, TURBO ETHER, and a TRANSFORM MATERIA. Now take the high path and go all the way to the end and hit the control switch for the bridge. When you hear birds chriping climb up the side of the mountain and you'll see a bird's nest. Your welcomed to pick up the 10 PHEONIX DOWNS but it disturbs the birds and your forced to fight it's mother, Cokatolis. Don't worry she shouldn't be of any threat except that the fact that she can cast STONE on one of your party members. Afterwards go down to the lower tracks until you see two tracks that meet. Turn right as you reach them and into a small mine to pick up a POWER SOURCE, MIND SOURCE, and TENT. Now go back outside and continue down and past a long bridge until you reach North Corel. Here you'll find a dirty town also Barret's hometown. Now see what these reactors are doing? Are you gonna let this happen? Of course not! Your welcomed to visit the shops. Buy some weapons you didn't have before or something strong for Barret. Now go to the left side of North Corel and into Gold Saucer, a fun- filled arcade that's better than playing Marvel vs Capcom! Okay its not that good, but the games sure are fun! When you enter here don't use the save point because it'll cost you five Gold Points not Gil, you can exchange your money for GP if you have enough money and when the guy is standing in the back. Go to the entrance a pay a mere 3000 Gil for the entrance or if you want, pay another mere 30,000 Gil for a lifetime pass. Now when you go in and enter the Speed Arena to meet Dio the owner of Gold Saucer. Now head to Wonder Square to pick up Cait Sith to add to your party and head for Battle Arena. With a guy's arm replaced by a gun going berserk against Shinra soldiers, they more than wilingly accused Barret of the mass murder. But can Barret let his emotions about what happen to North Corel release them to an innocent crowd like this? You are now prisoners of Corel for a crimed that was framed upon your party and thrown to an unescapable prison. DESERT PRISON First off, just watch your items so equip all the materia to your armor and equip as many people with the most valuable weapons and armors and accesories your party may have cause there are Bandits around who will steal all uneqipped items and materia and all other items worth stealing like HI-Potion or ETHERs. You must defeat these bandits quick because you'll lose your item permanately if you don't. Barret is in a depressed state and he leaves but follow him off screen.Now when your in the next screen go to the bottom left corner of the prison to find Barret. He tells about his intervening with Scarlet and a terrible accident happened when Barret and Dyne returned to North Corel, they both loss there arms and were forced to replace them with gun-arms against Shin- Ra. Now go back to the entrance of the prison and through the gate the man was on previously and enter it and go to the right and up north to find Barret's best friend Dyne. Ouch! This guy isn't too happy about Barret's return and he wishes to destroy everything Barret loves most. BOSS: DYNE HP: 1200 Item: Silver Armlet Well its best that Barret is equipped with the RESTORE MATERIA so he can heal himself if it wasn't stolen by the bandits. Also give Barret a HYPER in his regular status so he is on FURY which will double his Limit Break meter's growth. But he might miss sometimes but it shouldn't be a problem. Keep your HP above 350 because he can use his S-Mine attack after his regular attack sometimes and will do a lot of damage. When he has about 300 HP left he will use his Molotov Cocktail which will do 150-200 HP of damage so keep your HP up. This guy isn't easy so don't cry when you lose, just try again. When Dyne is defeated he is serverely wounded and afterwards he will give a pendant to give to Marlene. Then at the same time he kills himself. Now go rest and visit Mr.Coates an S-Class chocobo racer and your only ticket out of this dead prison. Now Mr.Coates won't be so willing to help because he knows Dyne is dead and now if the party wants out they must win a short course chocobo race. Don't forget to pick up the RUMAH SUMMON MATERIA while your inside his office. When you race all you'll want to do during the entire race is to get a head start by pushing the O button, then stops when you have about 15% of your stamina left and hold R1+R2 together to build up your chocobo's stamina. You can basically have the chocobo sprint the entire way having an easy victory by hitting the SQUARE button. Now with apologies from Dio he offers his crappy worn out Buggy which will help you get to your next destination. You the buggy and go south pas the river to reach an area which looks like a model of an old reactor which is Gongaga Village. ZACK's HOMETOWN Now when you enter continue on the same path and you'll encounter Rude, Elena, and Reno of the Turks. Elena will run off to warn Tseng. You should have Aeris use her Seal Evil or have someone use the CHOCO/MOG SUMMON to paralyze both the Turks before engaging battle. BOSS: Rude and Reno HP: Reno(2000) Rude(2000) Item: Fairy Tale and X-Potion If you use your CHOCO/MOG SUMMON or Aeris' Seal Evil you should be fine, just keep using it until they are paralyzed and start pounding away with your strongest summon and spells. Now go to the center of the reactor and Scarlet and Tseng will show up talking about an explosive new weapon and needs the HUGE MATERIA to do so. Scarlet will talk about junky reactors having bad materia, but if you pick up the glowing red materia you'll recieve the TITAN SUMMON MATERIA. I don't consider this junky, do you? Now go back to the walkway you entered and go back to where you fought the Turks and pick up the DEATHBLOW COMMAND MATERIA just above where you fought. Now head right until you see the screen start to turn red and go up until you see sorta of a giant telescope on top of a canyon and the Buggy breaks down right in front of it. BUGENHAGEN and NANAKI Here this place is very comfortable and tribal music is soothing to the ears which Barret promised to bring his AVALANCHE members to if they stopped Shin- Ra's mako reactors. Don't forget to talk to the contruction worker and tell him you are not here to study and he'll fix the buggy for you. When Red XIII meets BUGENHAGEN you'll notice that he is Red XIII's father and that his real name is Nanaki. Here you'll learn about the spirit energy and that when living things die their spirit energy is returned to the earth. NOw go to the save spot you saw earlier and save it. And enter the center of Cosmo Canyon and talk with everybody, you know the place with the locked door. After you have talked to Red XIII BUGENHAGEN will appear and unlock the door to the Cave of Gi. Cave of Gi Here just climb the ladders into the cave. When you first enter the cave alot of empty spaces are along the walls each one of them contains a breakable rock. Each time you break a rock a fight will initiate. There's a secret door in the middle of the cave but I forgot what's in it. Well that's all done go to the next room until you see red on the floor below the rocks. First you might want to go out to the gave on the left and collect the ADDED AFFECT MATERIA which should come in handy and go back once you've collected it. Watch out for liquid gold because you'll slide right into the spikes on the wall which won't kill you but will take away some HP. So don't hold down the X button while on these spots. Now when you past this area you are given a choice of five rooms to go in. Just go to the second room from the left but if you want the item in the fourth room from the left go ahead but you'll fight a tough battle. Well along the way if you took the second tunnel from the left you are forced to fight spiders along the way which are initiated when you touch the spider webs. When your through equip your characters with something that protects fire by using the ELEMENTAL-POISON MATERIA combination. And equip your characters with some CURE or ICE MATERIA and all your summons except IFRIT. Now approach the wall that has a golem on it to ensue a fight. BOSS: Gi Nattak and Soul Fires HP: 5500 and Soul Fires 1300 Item: Pheonix Down and Wizer Staff Well first off attack it with Holy magic like CURE or CURE2. Ice surprisingly will do regular damage despite the fact it is fire. You can't kill it with a Pheonix Down or using LIFE. It'll posses your character with its Soul Fires which will cast FIRE2 about every two or three rounds. Watch out when Gi Nattak drains your MP and HP. So carrying a few ETHERs or HI-POTIONs should counter that. Use your max amount of summons cause they'll do more damage than you can dish out you can't paralyze it but still. After this somewhat easy boss follow Bugenhagen out of the cave and pick up the GRAVITY MATERIA on the way out. Now you'll go into a storyline about Seto, Nanaki's father and realizing the hero that was his father. Now head out of Cosmo Canyon and Red XIII will meet up with you. Now take you Buggy north pass the sha‚ƒ„…†‡ˆ‰Š‹ŒŽ‘’“”•–—˜™š›œžŸ ЁЂЃЄЅІЇЈЉЊЋЌ­ўџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџllow body of water up to Cloud's and Tifa's hometown, Nibelheim, which is a town in front of a mountain. NIBELHEIM There's basically nothing to do here. And I thought this town was suppose to be a pile of soot remember? Well you can pick up some weapons in the mansion in the back of the town and aquire Vincent but the boss is awfully tough so you might want to wait until your stronger. For now talk to the fallen black mages or whatever and they'll give you an item. Now exit though the back of the town. You might want to save right in front of the mountain so that when you encounter a Dragon you can start off right in front of the mountain just incase you lose cause this guy is tough. Now when you enter the mountain just walk through the linear path but amke sure to pick up a few items on some of the mountain ridges like the RUNE BLADE or the PLUS BARRETE. Next comes the long bridge cross it and enter the next room. This room you'll see pipes to the left screen and enter one of them at a time to reach some unreachable items. Now all you need to do is to go down the ladder and save and fight a few battles to bump up a level or two before fighting the creature standing in front of the exit. There is a door on the left side of the room if you want to pick up a SNIPER CR if you have Vincent in your party otherwise just fight. BOSS: Materia Keeper HP:8400 Item: Jem Ring This guy is tough. His Trine attack will cause 500 HP of damage to each character, fortunately its a lighting based attack so having the ELEMENTAL MATERIA-LIGHTING combination in your armor will protect against it. As usual use your best attacks and magic and limit breaks and summons. Make sure you have a CURE-ALL combination so that after the Trine attack you can keep your HP up. These simple procedures should make a very tough fight alot easier. If you have the ENEMY-SKILL MATERIA you can learn Trine. Afterwards pick up the Counter Attack Materia left behind by the Materia Keeper. Now just use a TENT and save and exit the reactor and walk northwest towards the next destination, Rocket Town. ROCKET TOWN When you first enter here your welcomed to shop around and if you talk to the guy standing in front of the item shop and look at the rocket. If you do he'll give you the YOSHIYUKI, which is the strongest sowrd in the game up till now and the only chance you can get the YOSHIYUKI. Now go two houses from the right of the Rocket and enter the house to pick up a POWER SOURCE. From there enter the house that's to the right of thr Rocket and enter the the room in the top left corner to pick up Barret's DRILL ARM, which is a short range weapon so unless you decide to equip Barret with it, you'll have to move him up front in your row. Now head out the backdoor to see the unusable(as of now) Tiny Bronco. Shera will come in and tell you about the Shinra Space Program that has a possibility to restart when President Rufus arrives. Now go to the Rocket and climb the top to meet Cid, an expert pilot and engineer in mechanics and tools, with a bad attitude due to a crewman's fault that made hi abort a space mission, which was his life long dream. He won't let you use the Tiny Bronco, now leave him be and go back to the house you met Shera earlier. Cid now comes in and lets his mouth unload with his high use of profanity. Now go talk to Cid again and you'll find out that Rufus wasn't even thinking about the Space Program and he wants to use the Tiny Bronco to chase after Sephiroth. Now go back inside the house and go back to the Tiny Bronco and you'll find that Palmer is trying to steal the Tiny Bronco, the wierd guy Shera just told you about. BOSS: Palmer HP: 6000 Item: Edincoat This boss should be pretty easy as long as you use CHOCO/MOG MATERIA or Aeris' Seal Evil to paralyze him. His Mako Gun can couse up to 1,000 HP of damage depending on what armor and materia your eqipped with. If he becomes un paralyzed then keep using the CHOCO/MOG MATERIA to paralyze him again and the fight should be short lived. Afterwards a truck from out of nowhere hits him when he tries to run and I have no idea where the truck came from or how it got there, which is really one of the minor faults in the game. Now the plane starts and the team doesn't know how to stop it. The plane runs through the middle of the town and Cid quickly hops on and Rufus orders fire on the plane and the Tiny Bronco puts out a few last miles before it goes crashing into the ocean as a boat. Now head east of Gongaga to a weapon seller. WEAPON SELLER Here is a weapon seller and he'll tell you about the Keystone needed for the Temple of Ancients. The Weapon Seller tells you about selling it to Dio, owner of the Gold Saucer. Now head towards the Gold Saucer. GOLD SAUCER When you enter here just go to the Battle Arena and look at the Show Room which has the Keystone, examine it and Dio comes in. Now you must fight for the Keystone in a little risk battle. All you have to do is fight in the battle and he'll give you the keystone. It doesn't matter if you win or not, but if you do win(which is highly unlikely) you'll be rewarded with the Protect Vest and the Choco Feather which are two very strong pieces of armor up to this point in addition to the Keystone. Now leave the Gold Saucer, and what do you know, the Railroad Tran is out of order, and what a coincidence now that you have the Keystone. You'll have to stay the night at the Ghost Hotel. During the middle of the night Aeris will come in depending on how well you treated her and you'll have a chance to visit all the rides for free. Look out the same time Aeris looks out of the Tran and you'll see some nice graphics that the Squaresoft Team has produced. If you had treated Aeris poorly you'll get a boring talk with some other party member. After you have taken part in a stage show then took the little ride on the Roller Coaster you'll fine Cait Sith with the Keystone, follow him around and you'll soon discover that Cait Sith is a spy as he hands over the Keystone to Tseng of the Turks. You have no choice but to have him remain in your party because he knows where the Temple of Ancients is. Now head out Gold Saucer and head southeast of Gold Saucer and into the giant black pyramid like shape that's planted in the middle of a forest. TEMPLE OF ANCIENTS When you enter here you'll get a quick briefing of BLACK MATERIA and find Tseng of the Turks wounded on the floor. Here he'll give you the Keystone and asks you to place it on the Altar to open up the Temple's maze. Well I can't really help you out much here, do to the fact that's its so complicated to explain, but you should follow the Old Sage around until you fine his quarters or chamber and he'll let you rest unlimtedly. So you can gain some levels and save and head out to the second part of the maze. Once again no dice here either but make your way around until you see another Old Sage and follow him into a room with rolling U shaped boulders. Here is a little bit tricky but if you time it so that the cut out part of the boulder lands where your standing then you should be fine, don't worry if you get rolled over by the boulders because you won't lose any HP or fight random battles. Just keep doing this until you reach the end so that the trap shuts off by itself and then enter the pool you saw earlier. Here you'll see exactly what happened. Afterwards go into the Clock Room. Now there are twelve doors in which you can enter here is whats inside each room: 1- Random Battle 2- Nothing 3- Random Battle 4- Aeris' Ultimate Weapon(Princess Guard) 5- Ribbon 6- Next Destination 7- Trumpet Shell 8- Mega Elixir 9- Nothing 10-Entrance 11-Nothing 12-Exit of Temple(You can't leave now, but later on) After you have picked up everything you can knock yourself down into the pit when the second hand hits where your standing you can pick up the Nail Bat which is the strongest sowrd in the game as of now. You'll be force to fight a battle but its a battle that's easily won. Now head to room number 6. When you enter here you'll find that the guy has just locked the door leading to your next area. He'll run into the door on the left and you must follow him, but all you have to do is go all the way to the left side but don't enter the door and jump down, now don't jump any further. Head to the second door from the right and enter in there and he'll give up and unlock the door and let you rest and save. Now enter the unlocked door and you'll encounter Sephiroth and see a couple of scenes. It appears that Sephiroth wants the BLACK MATERIA to damage the Earth and have the Soul energy be a part of him. Devious huh? Try to equip something protects well from physical attacks and not magic before you fight the Red Dragon. BOSS: Red Dragon HP: 6800 Item: Dragon Armlet and BAHAMUT MATERIA This a rather easy fight. MAke sure you hit it with your strongest Ice Spells and use BIO2 or BIO if your not up there yet to gradually reduce his HP. REGEN is an excellent way to keep your HP up and you should never have to heal if you have REGEN along. Now Equip the BAHAMUT MATERIA on Aeris after you have picked it up from the floor. Head to room twelve you saw in the clock room earlier. Make sure you save and heal before moving on. Here you'll notice that the wall is warm and its moving. BOSS: Demon Gate HP: 12000 Item: Gigas Armlet This guy is tough. I lost a few times and finally gain some levels to beat this oversized wall. Regen should be casted once the battle starts so you won't have to keep healing. Use BAHAMUT immediately, it'll do about 3,000- 4,000 DMG. Slow works on him quite nicely and sorry you can't kill it with a PHEONIX DOWN or casting LIFE. Its also immune to Holy Magic like CURE or CURE2 despite it being a undead monster. Sometimes your characters will turn to stone so having 4 or 5 softs should keep you in battle, but he rarely uses it, and if he uses it alot, your in bad luck! Keep hitting him with your strongest attacks except TITAN because is a part Earth and will cut the damage down significantly. After a long tough fight you should win and become very weak. After the tough fight Cait Sith will come and sacrifice himself so that the BLACK MATERIA stays out of Sephiroth's hands. As the team exits the temple everything caves in and the Temple becomes the BLACK MATERIA. Now that the dirty work by Cait Sith is done Sephiroth comes in and forges, bends, and manipulate Cloud's mind to force him to hand over the BLACK MATERIA. Later Cloud turns on Aeris and goes Berserk as the third member of your party(whoever that is) has to knock Cloud out as Cait Sith number 2 comes along. Thought he was gone didn't ya? Well he didn't die sice he wasn't alive to begin with. He was only a toy(if you hadn't known) and all of the previous stats and armor and weapons and materia is still with Cait Sith #2. Now when Cloud is unconcious Aeris appears in his dreams and tells him she has to go and stop Sephiroth, but Sephiroth knows her intentions and her plans. When Cloud awakens go to the Gongaga coastline to fine the Tiny Bronco and head for the north most continent that has the Tundra climate and head for a giant fossil that stands in the middle of the forest just of the southern part of the northern continent. THE LUNAR HARP AND CITY OF ANCIENTS Here all you need here is the LUNAR HARP to avoid running the same scenario over and over again. You need the Harp to wake the sleeping forest. Talk to the guy standing behind the open treasure chest to ask him to start digging for the harp. It'll cost you 100 Gil which is very cheap to have one man start digging the area you choose, you can place as many as five workers, but all you need is one. Now dig a few feet away just off the entrance of the Sleeping Forest to find the LUNAR HARP. If you want you can buy some DIAMOND BANGLES which offer some solid protection against magics and physical harm or some RUNE ARMLETs which offer poor protection but doubles your MATERIA growth with four unlinked slots. When your done head for the forest. Now when you enter, the forest awoke and lets you pass, after the first walkway you'll enter an area that's lightly densed with trees. Wait a few seconds and you'll see a red materia hopping around. Grab it to recive the KJATA SUMMON MATERIA. The next area is fairly linear but when you first enter walk under the broken tree trunk and pick up the WATER RING in the treasure chest. Equip it with any party member you like but its wise to equip it on the weakest character or most likely the character with the least amount of HP for later. The path to the City of Ancients is an excellent way to earn expierience. Three to five battles will easily gain you a level since the enemies come in groups and each one of them give away lots of expierience. So its not a bad idea to fight a coulpe of battles to bulk up your levels. When you reach the center with three paths, take the path on the right and enter the hut shaped house and pick up an ELIXIR, GUARD SOURCE, and the 2nd ENEMY SKILL MATERIA. The paths ahead are not important and you can't enter there because the team won't let you. The top path just leads to a middle area for later in the game. Now take the left path to find a MAGIC SOURCE and an AURORA ARMLET. Here you'll get a chance to save, and rest. Rest first then save, and you must rest to continue the story. During your nap Aeris will call for you, now you awake and head for the center part of the Ancient city. When you reach the center take the spiral staircase up to fine the COMET MATERIA which will most likely come in handy. When you reach the very center of the city Cloud will stop the team members and he'll take a look at what's going on. He then tries to kill Aeris, but the team stops him just in time. If your wondering whats taking so long when Cloud holds his sowrd and does nothing its because you haven't hit the O button. Just hit the O button when Cloud is about to kill Aeris. Sephiroth can't force you to kill Aeris himself so he comes and finishes his dirty work. Yes, Aeris(one of the main characters, like Tellah the Sage in Final Fantasy 4 or General Leo in Final Fantasy 6, you can't bring them back to life with the exception of General Leo, not with a code or game shark) is dead. Yes I was in shock too but not in tears(because I can take it) and Sephiroth flies away(how d BOSS: JENOVA HP: 10,000 Item: Wizard Braclet Like I said before its an excellent idea to equip the WATER RING to turn all Jenova's attacks into healing purposes. If you want to make it a quick fight use TITAN MATERIA or QUAKE2 or QUAKE3 depending on your levels, BAHAMUT is also a good idea and so is using COMET. If you have the ENEMY SKILL MATERIA you can learn AQUALUNG from this ugly monster, but if you don't, then don't worry cause you'll have plenty of chances to learn it later. Its attacks are very strong and can knock out any party member with one or tow rounds. Just wait after your party members have been wounded and let Jenova heal you until her skill has run out. Now you can bring back your party members to life and heal them and take out Jenova. That way you won't lose the expierience or ability points because the expierience and ability points from your dead party members will not be transfered to you like previous Final Fantasy games which is a big minus in the game. Overall you should have no trouble thanks to the WATER RING. After the easy battle you will pay your final respects to Aeris as they lay her body in the waters in the city as she sinks back to the Earth. Now is no time to greive, she didn't even budge when Sephiroth was near and she did it for a reason. She was praying for the ultimate WHITE MATERIA to counter the ultimate BLACK MATERIA which is HOLY. Remember in those Final Fantasy games for the Super Nintendo when you had possesion of both HOLY and METEO? Well never mind. The HOLY MATERIA fell into the water but the team didn't know what to do with it. Yes I know your angry and so was I, but Aeris doesn't want you to greive, she wants you to take back the BLACK MATERIA before Sephiroth summons it, now go head for the Correl Valley cave, you know the place you couldn't go to earlier? And don't forget to flip to your second CD. љњћ"#$%5678xyzјљњ678š›ѕ і ї ј В Г xyzћїѓяычуплзгЯЫЧУПЛЗГЏЋЇЃŸ›—“‹‡ƒ{wsokg]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c&z{rstvwxyz{|„…†‡ˆ‰Š‹ІЇЈЉ     !"#$%&'(12ћїѓяычуплзгЯЫЧУПЛЗГЏЋЇЃŸ›—“‹‡ƒ{wsokg]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c&2345vwxy™ š › œ  ž Ÿ   Е Ж З И Й К Х Ц Ч Ш 3&4&5&6&Ё)Ђ)Ѓ)Є)Ѕ)І)Ї)Г)Д)ћїѓяычуплзгЯЫЧУПЛЗГЏЋЇЃŸ›—“‹‡ƒ{wsokg]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c&Д)Е)Ж)З)И)р)с)т)у)/*0*…*†*'-(-)-*-{-|-1111m1n1Ф1Х1440414243444…4†4л4м45ћїѓяычуплзгЯЫЧУПЛЗГЏЋЇЃŸ›—“‹‡ƒ{wsokg]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c&55-6.6/60616‚6ƒ6ш6щ68‘8Ч8Ш8ш8щ899f9g9О9П9::n:o:Ц:Ч:;;J;K;L;M;N;m;n;o;ћїѓяычуплзгЯЫЧУПЛЗГЏЋЇЃŸ›—“‹‡ƒ{wsokg]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c&o;p;q;r;Џ;А;Б;В;З;И;Й;К; < <`<a<w<x<y<ˆ<‰<”<•< <Ё<Ђ<ї<ј<h>i>Ћ>Ќ>­>BBBBB BћїѓяычуплзгЯЫЧУПЛЗГЏЋЇЃŸ›—“‹‡ƒ{wsokg]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c& B B B BBBBBB BYBZB[B&C'C(C)CGGGGЭMЮMЯMаMƒQ„QїSјSљSњSћSќS§SўSџSTTTћїѓяычуплзгЯЫЧУПЛЗГЏЋЇЃŸ›—“‹‡ƒ{wsokg]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c&TTTTT+T,T-T.T/T0TeUfUgUg]gegmgug}g…gg•ggЅg­gЕgНgХgЭgеgнgхgэgѕg§gg ggћїѓяычуплзгЯЫЧУПЛЗГЏЋЇЃŸ›—“‹‡ƒ{wsokg]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c]c&gg%g-g5—5˜5™5ћїѓяыщ]]c]c]c]c]cљ#$7yzљ7›і ї Г yzst…ЇЈ  !"њѕ№ыцсмзвЭШУОЙДЏЊЅ ›–‘Œ‡№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№"2wxš › Ж Ц Ч 4&5&Ђ)Ѓ)Д)с)т)0*†*(-)-|-11n1Х1њѕ№ыцсмзвЭШУОЙДЏЊЅ ›–‘Œ‡№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№Х11434†4м4.606ƒ6Ш89g9П9:o:Ч:;K;L;n;o;И;Й; <a<x<њѕ№ыцсмзвЭШУОЙДЏЊЅ ›–‘Œ‡№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№x<y<‰<•<Ё<Ђ<ј<Ќ>­>BBB BBBZB[B'C(CGGЮMЯMјSљSњѕ№ыцсмзвЭШУОЙДЏЊЅ ›–‘Œ‡№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№№љSќSџSTT,T-TfUgU˜5™5њѕ№ыцсмзвЭ№№№№№№№№№№ љ™5›љ™5Є 2џџџџџџџџ/OK@ёџNormala "A@ђџЁ"Default Paragraph Fontаџ@ўџ џџџџ РFMicrosoft Word 6.0 Document MSWordDocWord.Document.6є9Вq
