now working on layout, Limit Breaks, Group setup trough the game.Version 3.0 some minor bug changes and finished the tables so far.Version 2.0 some minor bug changes and some layout.Version 1.0 Guide?s basic structure completet
1: Mako Industrial complex
Items: Potion x3, Phoenix Down, Restore MateriaAfter watching the intro you will be in the game. Jump off the train and follow Barret and the Avalanche resistance team. You are raiding the Shinra Mako Reactor 1 and are attempting to blow it up. The Avalanche are a team that is currently fighting Shinra Electric Power Company because they are misusing Mako energy by sucking it out of the planet trough industrial machines.Make sure to check each of the downed guards and you will get Potions. In most of the early battles you?ll probably only use your characters normal attacks so don?t worry about using magic right now.You will meet up with everyone at a gate. Biggs will ask for your name. Name CLOUD(In this guide I will call the characters by their default name)The Avalanche will open the gate. Follow them. Barret will stop you and say that he doesn?t trust you.You now get to name Barret. His gun is a 'long range weapon' meaning he does the same damage from the back row as he does in the front row, so you should move him in the back, as he receives less damage this way. You can do this in the menu by clicking on 'Order& and selecting Barret twice. Follow all of the Avalanche to the security gate. Talk to Biggs, and he will open the gate. Follow Jesse to the elevator. Biggs will tell you how to maneuver around the complex. Talk to him if you need help. You will find yourself in the core level of the complex shortly. Cloud will set the bomb at the reactor. This will trigger the first boss fight, GUARD SCORPION
Boss Strategy - Guard Scorpion Concentrate on regular attacks and Lightning magic. When the scorpion?s tail is raised, he will counter attack if you attack him. However. when he counter attacks, your limit meter will rise, making you unleash some great attacks if you want. If you need healing, use some potions. You start out with 10 and you sometimes win a few in battles.(This isn?t too hard, and it should be a short fight.)Throughout the battle, the Guard Scorpion raises its tail and begins to shake. When this happens, don?t attack it. If you attack at this point, it will use it's laser weapon that deals about 75 hit points damage to both Cloud and Barret. Just concentrate on keeping character?s hit points over 100 and you should win with normal attacks. The Boss also uses a 'search scope' attack which will identify his next target. If you select 'defend' on that character you can halve the damage of his next attack, but it will obviously cut into your offensive ability and shouldn't really be neccesary.After the battle, you have 10 minutes to escape the complex (including battles and time spent in the menu). Keep running out and make sure you save Jessie where you left her. If you don?t rescue her you won?t be able to open the security doors above, thus requiring you to go back and get her. When you reach the top level talk to Biggs and Jessie again and they?ll release the locks. Run out of the area and you will see the destruction of the reactor.
2: Avalanche Headquarters
Items: All Materia, EtherThe team escapes from the reactor and proceeds to go back to their hideout. Barret wants the team to meet at the Section 8 train station. Avalanche splits off in different directions. Follow Barret off screen.You will run into a flower girl on your way. When you talk to her, tell her that you would like a flower for 1 Gil.By doing this, you will unlock a special sequence in the bar later. Proceed trough the Area 8 City. You will have a choice whether to confront the guards or not. It is good decision to fight them because they give good EXP. You will eventually escape with another cutscene. You will be informed of Avalanche?s involvement on the train. You will jump off of the train and get to Sector 7.Go to the bar and meet Barret?s daughter, Marlene. Here you will get to name Tifa. Go towards the exit, and Barret will come barging in. After the dialouge, you can follow Avalanche under the bar through the use of the pinball machine to the right.
Cloud tells Barret that he's not interested in Shinra or Avalanche. Barret and Tifa will urge him to join Avalanche. Be prepared for a flashback sequence. Cloud made a promise with Tifa long ago to help her in a time of need. Barret will come in with Cloud?s pay. And because of Cloud?s promise, Cloud accepts the next mission for an increase in pay. You'll awaken in the hideout up against some boxes. Attempt to exit the bar. Barret will ask about Materia.Explain to him how it works if you want a tutorial and stock up on items in town after. Don't forget getting an 'all' materia from the guy above the store. You also might want to consider buying a couple of grenades. they cost 80 gil a piece, but they do around 150 damage with is a lot more than the 50 or so a character will do at this point. very handy when fighting a big group or a boss. I also recommend you try and save up for 2 more lightning materias as those will come in handy later on when you have to fight a couple of bosses weak to that element. Now you're off to the Sector 5 Mako Industrial complex.
3: Sector 5
Items: Phoenix Down, Hi Potion, Ether x2, PotionYou will be on the train again. Due to the newly installed ID checkpoints, you need to run from car to car in less than 15 seconds. You can get a few items by talking to guys along your way, and one guy will pickpocket an item from you, but by running back and speaking with him, and telling him, 'That's Right', you can get the stolen item back. Hurry along through the cars and you will reach the final car. After a short dialogue, Cloud, Barret, and Tifa leap from the train. The direction you want to go in the tunnel is away from the camera. You will find a small hole leading to Sector 5. Go in and be ready for battle. The enemies here are a little stronger than before. You'll run into Wedge, Biggs, and Jesse throughout this back entrance into the reactor. Jesse confides that it was her fault for the fiasco on the train due to Cloud's fake ID being, 'special'. After sliding down the pipe, you'll recognize that the reactor's layout is exactly the same as the first reactor.
Battle your way through to reach the reactor.
A flashback will hit Cloud. You'll proceed to plant the bomb, but this time there is no alarm. (As you head back up, try to keep two of the three team member's Limit Break full. This will come in handy soon.) Travel back up to the elevator and follow Tifa into the controls center. The team has to press the buttons simultaneously in order to open the door. Keep trying until you get it, because you have unlimited time. The door will open allowing you to escape the reactor. Once outside, you are surrounded by guards on the bridge, and you meet the president of Shinra. IT'S A TRAP! You will have to fight a boss now.
Boss Strategy - Air Buster Limit Break attacks do the most damage. (You can beat him in one turn if you have two Limit Breaks ready.) Hitting Air Buster in the back will increase the damage done by a lot (7 times). Try to keep your best attacks hitting him in the back. Lightning magic also works well here. Make sure someone has the Restore-All combination of materia After you beat him, you get a Titan Bangle.Upon beating the Air Buster, it explodes causing the bridge to break. Cloud is caught in the explosion but manages to grab hold of the edge. After a short dialouge, the vibrations from the exploding reactor causes Cloud to fall into the city below. Barret and Tifa are able to escape.
4: Meeting Aeris
Items: 5 Gil, Ether, Cover Materia, Poison, Phoenix DownCloud regains consciousness in a church. He is awoken by the flower girl from before. Tell her that you remember her. You get to name her now. A red-headed man enters the church. Upon seeing him, Aeris requests that you be her bodyguard, and that you get a date with her later as a reward. Walk towards the man to continue, then speak with Aeris again. Cloud recognizes the man's uniform. Apparently, the man is there to take Aeris. To avoid a fight Aeris tells Cloud that they have to escape, so he follows her to the back. Head up the stairs and Cloud will jump across the gap. Aeris hesistates and falls due to gunfire from her pursuers. Run up to the scaffolding. Tell Aeris to hold on each time she asks. The order for pushing the barrels is: the left most in the back, the far right barrel in the back, then the far right barrel in the front, and the remaining barrel.You will escape with Aeris through the roof. Go northeast to Aeris?s house. Cloud says he need to go to Sector 7. Aeris' mother tells her to go make the bed. Talk to Aeris' mother and she will ask you to leave her behind. Go upstairs and rest. Cloud decides he will leave without Aeris. Walk slowly across the floor next to the stair railing to avoid detection and you will be on your way. Leave Sector 5 slums and head left. Aeris will be waiting for you at the entrance towards Sector 6. You will see a sequence of Cloud and Aeris at a playground. At the end, a caravan comes out of the gate with Tifa in tow. Aeris takes off running after. Follow Aeris into the Wall Market.
5: The Slums
Items: Ether x2, Hyper, Phoenix Down, Sewers - Potion, Steal Materia, Hi Potion, Echo ScreenBuy any items that you need here. Go southeast to the Honey Bee Inn and talk to the manager.Ask him if he knows where Tifa is. He will tell you to visit the mansion to the north. Go to the mansion and talk to the security guard. Only females can enter the mansion. Head for the clothing shop to the west side of town. The owners son will tell you to go to the bar. Go there and talk to his father. He will eventually make a dress for you. You get to decide from 3 dresses. To get the best dress, say that you want &Something that feels Soft& and &Something that shimers&. Go to the clothing shop again and the owner will have made your dress.A WIG Go to the gym below the weapon shop. The woman will give you the wig if you face her brother in a fitness match.Press Square to kneel, X to stand up, and Circle to band over. (If you never changed the config at the beginning, the order would be, DELETE, C, X.)
You have to keep constant timing to win. You will get a wig even if you lose. Winning the competition will get you the Blonde wig, however losing will award you the regular Wig. Go to the clothing store again. Go to the dressing room and change your clothes.Note: Here you have some choices to get some more items for Cloud. The more you get, the better the chances are of Corneo picking him.SEXY COLOGNE Go to the bar and talk to the lady in the bathroom. She is sick, and you will have to get some medicine for her. Go to the local restaurant and buy any meal. you will get a coupon after eating (he will ask you how the taste was, answer with the second option).Take this coupon to the Pharmacy and exchange it for the Digestive. Take the Digestive to the lady in the toliet and she will give you the Sexy Cologne.TIARA Go to the Materia shop. The man asks Cloud for a favor. Listen to it, and head to the Inn. When staying the night, pay for the most expensive item (200 Gil). Take this item back to the Materia shop owner and if you bought the most expensive item, he will give you the Diamond Tiara. If you bought the 100 Gil item, he will give you the Ruby Tiara. If you bought the 50 Gil item, he will give you the Glass TiaraUNDERGARMENT AND MAKEUP Head back to the southeat side of town, there is a heavy-set man in a light blue shirt. Talk to him, and he will give you the members card so you can get into the Honey Bee Inn. You can only take one of two rooms to do your &activities&. You can get the Bikini Briefs if you choose the Group Room, or the Lingerie if you choose the #$%& room. It doesn?t matter which one you choose (Pick the right one, you don?t want the group room believe me xD).(If you choose to get the Lingerie, you will have to chase down Mukki on his way out to continue the dialogue, and in turn the Honey Bee assistant. If you fail to catch him, you will not get the lingerie.)Talk trough everything, and you will get the item you need. After you are done getting this item, go into the north room, and ask the girl to the far left to put makeup on you.Cloud now has everything he needs to get chosen by Don Corneo.Go to the mansion. You will be allowed in. Go up the stairs and to the doorway to the far left. Head downstairs and find Tifa. Aeris introduces herself and tells her about Cloud. Tifa will explain why she is there. The man from the front desk will tell you to go to Corneo?s room. Corneo will choose one of your members to be his women. He will choose the members according to what dress you have. You will cut to Corneo?s bedroom and he will try to engage in extra-curricular activies with Cloud.
Aeris and Tifa will appear just in time to save Cloud. After grilling Corneo for information, he pulls a trap door which drops your effeminate team into the sewers. You will cut to a Shinra sequence which confirms what Corneo said. Right when you land, you have to fight a boss, ApsBoss Strategy - Aps Fire Magic does the most DMG here.
Aps?s attack Sewer Tsunami does DMG to everything including the Boss himself. Limit Breaks are a good way for Burst DMGThe fight shouldn't be too hard. Aeris' limit break should keep you healthy enough so just keep pummeling him. using grenades can make the fight go much quicker still.After you beat Aps, you will have to go through the sewers. Make sure your allies are all healed. Fighting here for a while can get you some good EXP, so you can gain some levels here. After fighting for a while, make sure to grab the Steal Materia, and equip it on someone, preferably Tifa. After you exit the sewers you?ll be at the Train Graveyard. Getting the items laying on top of the trains and in the barrels are beneficial. Stealing from the enemies here is a very good idea, as you can get ethers which you can sell for a whopping 750 gil a piece, which is very helpful this early in the game. &Ghost hand& is an item you can *only* steal from the ghosts here, and nowhere else in the entire game. Make your way up the first large train, jump to the bottom, and go around to the middle passageway. Go inside the train, and exit out the other end. Go up towards the other part of the graveyard. In this area, there is an enemy named Eligor (some strange guy on an vehicle), and by stealing from him, you can get the Striking Staff, a great for Aeris in this point of the game, as you otherwise can't get it until you reach Junon. Make sure to do this, as it will help Aeris do much more damage, rivaling even Cloud. You must make your own path to the exit of the graveyard by moving the bottom engine twice and the top engine once. Go over the bridge you created and into the next area. Be careful though as this area will be blocked forever just be walking 2 screens to the left, so if you want to grind for some more ethers do so now.
6: Battling in Sector 7
Items: Sense Materia, Turbo Ether, EtherUpon arriving at the pillar you will see a group of people gathered at the fence. You see Barret and the rest of Avalanche engaged in the defense of the Pillar. Wedge falls from the top and lands next the group. There he utters his last words to Cloud. Tifa asks Aeris to get Marlene to a safe place. You can talk to the man with gray hair for an items shop. Go through to the pillar and you will find dispatched members of Avalanche. Ultimately, what you say to them doesn't matter, but for the best reactions you tell Biggs, 'You're wounded...& and to Jesse, 'Is that so?' You reach Barret already fighting off a helicopter. The game gives you a chance to equip before you are forced into a boss fight.You will now have to fight Reno.Boss Strategy - Reno Be careful, as Reno?s magic will sometimes stun your allies. To get them unstunned, you must attack them or wait it out. Fire and Ice magic work well here, as do your character?s Limit Breaks. Use grenades to really make short work of him. Reno will run away after enough damage.Reno?s Electro-mag Rod can stun a victim. You can?t really do much to help a stunned victim so heal them until they recover.Reno?s Pyramdi attack creates a golden pyramid that also stuns the player. You can destroy the pyramid by having one of your crew fighting the pyramid itself.After the fight, and Reno escapes, a helicopter will appear with Aeris on board. She was captured
by the Turks in the confusion. She does manage to tell Tifa that, &She is safe.& The helicopter will escape and you can?t save Sector 7. You will see a sequence and Sector 7 will be destroyed. Barret goes ballistic because of the loss of Biggs, Wedge, Jesse, and Marlene. However, reflecting on the events, Tifa realizes that Aeris was trying to tell her that Marlene is alive. Go to Aeris?s house and hear the rest of the story.
7: Shrina Headquarters
Items: Elixir, Potion x4, Enemy Skill MateriaYou will find Aeris?s mother and she will explain to you why Aeris was captured. Go upstairs to Barret and Marlene. Marlene will tell Cloud that Aeris was asking all these questions about him, implying that she likes Cloud. You get to accept the decision or not. Sleep and go back downstairs. Cloud has made the decision to chase after Aeris. Barret and Tifa acknowledge this should be the team's next course of action. You now need to head to Wall Market. - While in town, stop by the weapons shop and talk to the old man to the left. Buy the batteries, you'll need them.Head north and you'll see a group of children running off screen. Follow them. Climb the wire, and use the batteries you have bought to proceed to the top. You will arrive at Shinra HQ. You are given the option of whether or not to go through the front door or go up the stairs. Both paths are very different but lead you to the same place in the end. If you take the stairs, you'll have to run for a while. You have to go up nine sets of stairs but there are no enemies here (Which means no EXP). However, there is an Elixir on the fitth set of stairs. If you take the stairs you will arrive on level 59.If you go through the front you will have to fight the guards at the entrance. There is an Item Shop near the front of the place here. You can?t open the two chest?s in the back of this area until further into the game. The enemies here are very easy, so when you?re ready take the elevator to the 59th floor.59th floorThere isn?t anything here really except the keycard for the 60th floor. You have to defeat the group of guards near the stairs to get it. You can now always use the elevator here to reach other levels of the place if you have the keycard for those levels.60th floorRun into the room of the left and you can break in. You have to fight four guards here but they are all simple. The guards follow a certain path, and you can avoid them, but it doesn?t really matter cause they?re all fairly simple. Use the large stairway to get to the 61st floor.61st floorTalk to the man near the stairs and he?ll give you the keycard for the 62nd floor.There is nothing else to do here so head there.62nd floorVisit Mayor Domino on the left room. You need to figure out a password before he?ll give you the 63rd,64th, and 65th keycard. A guy named Hart is willing to sell you hints, but each hint costs more than it lasts, but it is the easiest way to figure out the password. If you get the password on the first guess you receive Element all Materia. Hart?s hints Are: There are four research libraries on the floor with four different sections of the complex Parts of the password are hidden in each There is one file in each library mixed in from another library There?s a number at the beginning of each file that is important You have to match the number with the letters in the title of the fileThe password is random so I can?t directly tell you what it is, but you should be able to find it out with these clues. go to the staircases and go to floor 63,63rd floorYou actually don?t even have to come to this floor but some of the items here are nice. Go to the computer and it will give you access to the security doors, but you can only open three doors. You have to open certain doors to get all of the items here. If you get three coupons you can turn them in for a Star Pendant, Four Slot, and All Materia. When ready head up to the 64th floor.64th floorThis is a big recreational complex, and there is a save point here. Save your game. Visit the locker room and you can get a few items from the lockers. You will see a Megaphone here but you wont?take it cause you can?t use it. This is a hint into getting Cait Sith?s future ultimate weapon, but you can?t get it here until much later in the game. When ready go up to the 65th floor.65th floorThere is a large model of Midgar in the center of the room, but pieces are missing from it. In the locked chests around the rooms lie the pieces for it. You can only get one piece at a time, and placing that piece opens another door to get the other pieces. So complete the model of Midgar and you will be able to get the keycard to floor 6666th floorGo into the bathroom here and go up the duct, and you will be able to move towards the Shinra meeting room. You?ll learn something about where Aeris is and what Shinra is doing. When ready move out of the duct and follow the Shinra members to the 67th floor.67th floorHojo will move towards the room here and you are able to look at a specimen here. The specimen is labeled &Jenova&. Cloud starts to act nervous and intimidated here. Move towards the back of the area to the save point, and you can also get a Poison Materia from here. Also make sure to fight some enemies here because you can steal Carbon Bangles from the Moth Slashed and a Hardedge from Soldiers. They are both useful items for this point in the game. Head up the stairs to the 68th floor when ready.68th floorYou will see Aeris here enclosed in a plastic cylinder, and Hojo is about to do some experiments on her. Cloud frees Aeris but Hojo calls for help. You will meet Red XIII here and he will offer his help into defeating Hojo?s experiment. You have to choose one character to send to stay with Aeris cause you?ll want with Barret's long range attack for the boss. I recomend giving one person an Elemental and Poisen Materia, because it allows you some resistance from the boss here.Boss Strategy - Sample: HO512 The boss can resurrect the fallen drones He is weak to bolt magic, but he absorbs poison damage. O ignore the small enemies in front.After you defeat the boss you can get the Enemy Skill Materia near the tank. Get the keycard to the next floor. Go down to the 66th floor so you can get into the elevators. Tseng and Rude will capture you though. After the President is done gloating you'll be taken to the prisons on the 67th floor. Go to the door so you can talk to the others. Take a nap and you?ll notice your cell door is open when you wake up.Head out and look at the dead guard. Wake up Tifa and you can free the rest of the characters. Head south and you will notice that all the lab technicians have been sliced and Jenova is not in the same place anymore. The enemies that attack you are pretty powerful but many are weak to the cure spell, which makes short work of them. Follow all of the blood to President Shinra?s office. Sephiroth?s sword is sticking into the
dead president, but he isn?t here. You can go out to the roof where Rufus lands on a helicopter. You will now have to fight two bosses back to back.Boss Strategy - Hundred Gunner / Heli Gunner It takes the boss two turns for the special attack Weak to Bolt Magic You MUST use long range attacks Physical Limit Breaks work well Receive a Mythrill Armlet for winningNow Cloud and Rufus have a conversation and you will have to fight him with cloud alone. Equip Cloud with Restore Materia and All Materia, and its also a good idea to put Elemental and Bolt Magic on his Armor so you can resist some of Rufus?s attacks.Boss Strategy - Rufus Kill his sidekick first because it has a powerful magic Use many Limit Breaks, Fire/Ice Magic Grenades ignore the barrier spell.
8: Bike Race and Flashback
When you start the the bike race you get the option to pick your team and rearrange materia. Be sure to do so as right after this part you must fight another boss who can be a moderate challenge if you haven't set any materia to your team. he is weak to lightining so best use those. During the bike race part just keep all of the guys away from your bike by using your sword if they come too close. The boss is pretty easy if you're prepared but he does always get a back attack. press ]page up] and [page down] for a moment to turn around and you should be able to defeat him with simple magic and limit breaks. After you kill him you can exit midgar. Save on the overwold and make sure someone has the 'enemy skill' materia. fight the enemies around midgar untill you find the bikers who use 'matra magic' be sure to learn that skill as it's cheap and does very good damage to all enemies which will be useful for a good while. go to Kalm and enter the inn where you'll find the rest of the team, and Cloud will have a flashback.Cloud, Sephiroth and some Shinra are traveling to Nibelheim. Cloud describes how they were there to investigate a Mako reactor there. Sephiroth notes how his mother, Jenova, died shortly after giving birth to him as you arrive. go to Cloud and Tifa?s homes and you more about their backstories. If you play on Tifa's piano (in her room) now this will give you the chance to get another elemental materia later in the game. When you're done go to the hotel and tell sephiroth you want to go to sleep. In the morning the group wakes up and Tifa acts as a guide to the mountain for Cloud and Sephiroth. Before embarking a guy takes a picture of the party.You will now have to cross Mount Nibel to get to the Reactor. While on the bridge, it collapses and you must make your way trough the caves. Go farther and Sephiroth will go inside the Reactor. Sephiroth here finds out that he is a result of an experiment by Hojo. The sequence will shift to the Shinra hidden door in the bedroom that connects to a spiraling staircase. Head down here into a library area. You will now find Sephiroth here. Sephiroth is outraged about his past and says that he is going to find his mother. Sephiroth destroys Nibelheim in rage and slaughters the villagers, including Cloud and Tifa?s parents. As the sequence shifts to the reactor once again, Cloud tells a story of how he approached Sephiroth there and tried, but he doesn?t remember what happened next, and wonders why Sephiroth didn?t kill him.The flashback is now over. when you head downstairs you will recieve the PHS, which allows you to change party members on the world map. You can go through Kalm now and buy new weapons/armor. I recommend you get 2 more steal materias here as you can't buy them anywhere else and having 3 characters with steal makes getting stuff from enemies much easier. Explore the town and pick up some supplies. You?ll find out that several people here mention they?ve seen a man with a black cape and an long sword, and say he headed east. When ready leave the town and head east to the Chocobo Ranch.
9: Chocobos!
Ether, Tent, Long Range Materia, Mind Source, Elexier, Hi PotionTalk to the Chocobo in the front and if you choose the top option, he will give you the Mog and chocobo summon Materia. Go to the stairs and talk to all of the guys. Buy a chocobo Lure Materia so you can find them on the footprints on the world map.Go to the Mines. You have to ride a chocobo past the snake. Don?t go here without a chocobo, or you will die. To catch a chocobo, go to the footprints close the barn and fight until a chocobo comes. Don?t attack the chocobo. Kill the other enemys and you get the chocobo. Ride it past the snake. You will across a Midgar Zolom being impaled on a huge sword. Head in the mines.The mines are fairly straightforward and there really isn?t anywhere you can get lost. You will have to climb a vine here to get the long Range Materia. As you get to the exit, you will run into Rude,Elena, and Tseng the Turks. Elena will mention that Sephiroth is headed for Junon Harbor, and the Turks will leave. Follow them out and you will come across Fort Condor.
10: The Golden Bird and the Beach
You see a tower with a bird on the top. Go into the tower. Practice on the game, becouse you have to win it later in the game. It?s a fun strategy game that takes a while to get used to but is pretty fun and definitely a great mini game. You just have to kill the guys that are going up the mountain using different units. (Its most like a Tower Defense Game)You won?t be able to buy items here untill you?ve aagreed to help save the condors, and you?ll have to talk to the man in the middle of the fort to do so.When ready, save your game and get supplies and head to the Narval Base at Junon Harbor. At this point you can get Yuffie in your party Start fighting in the forest and you may run into a girl in battle. She?s not too tough in battle, and when you defeat her, the game will switch to a small map. don?t be distracted by the save point here, run up and talk to Yuffie. she will say a series of thinks to Cloud, and you have to respond a certain way. After each awnser, you have to talk to her again. Here is what you have to say to her statements:&you- spikey-headed jerk! One more time, let?s go on one more time!& Answer: Not Interested.&You?re pretty scared of me, huh?!& Answer: ...petrified.&I?m really gonna leave! REALLY!& Answer: Wait a second!&You want me to go with you?& Answer: .... That?s right.&All right! I?ll go with you!& Answer :.... Let?s hurry on.Head to Junon. It?s against the ocean, very large, and has a large cannon coming out of it. You really can?t do much here, but talk to the people and learn about the area. I recommend equiping Cloud with your Long Range Materia here, becouse it will be usefull for the upcoming boss. Also make sure that you have Barrett in your party. Head down to the Junon beach and you will find a girl, Priscilla. She asks you to leave, but a monster sudden attacks, and you will have to fight it.Boss Strategy - Bottomswell Can?t attack unless you have a long range attack. Has two powerful attacks. Short range characters should use magic.Bottomswell has two powerful attacks. One, Water Bubble, stuns a character and leaves them inactive. it?s other attack, Big wave, hits the entire party with a water attack that deals about 100 hit points to all. This is also its desperation attack, so make sure you won?t die when it does at the end of the fight.Priscilla is hurt and isn?t breathintg, Cloud will have to preform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on her. Pressing the Circle button allows Cloud to fill his lungs with air. When the small meter reaches the top press Circle again and Cloud will give her air. You have to get your timing right but isn?t that tough.After saving Priscilla, the woman near the town entrance is thankful and offers you a night of rest in her home, so take the Offer. Cloud heres a mysterious voice telling him to ask Tifa about Nibelheim. You will now get to walk around the town again. Make sure to run into Priscilla again and she will give you the Shiva Materia.

You will find that most of the crew is dead, and the shinra officercs are going after anyone not in Shinra, and they will spot on you. You?ll have to fight a few guards but they are laughable.Approach the standing guard at the bottom of the cargo bay and you?ll find Sephiroth. He will leave abruptly and Jenova - Birth will distract you while he makes his getaway.Boss Strategy - Jenova-BirthCasts stop on characters. Can do Tail Laser, a 200 HP to akk attackIt?s time to break out your Summon Materia. Shiva and Chocobo/Mog both do major damage there, so unleash hell. Also Fire attacks will do a good ammount of damage. She has some powerful attacks but should go down if you keep up consistant summons.After defeating Jenova-Birth, make sure to grab the Ifrit Summon Materia left behind.You will arrive at the beach in costa Del Sol. Talk to all the people and then walk down to the beach. Don?t talk to the Shinra guy yet, talk to the girls. There isn?t much to do at all other than gaze at the unique sights and watch Rufus and Heidegger land. Note that President Shinra?s beach house is being sold for 300,000 Gil. Keep that in mind for the future.If you go down to the beach you will find Hojo talking to some women. If you talk to him all he suggests is that you head to Mount Corel. Stock up on supplies here and head onward to the Corel Mountains. I especially recomment grabbing Softs for the upcoming area.
13: Everyone Hates Barret
Items: Mount Corel - Wizard Staff, Star Pendant, W Machine Gun, Turbo Ether, Transform Materia, Phoenix Down x10, Power Source, Mind Source, TentItems: Golden saucer - Ramuh Materia, Ranch MateriaItems: Corel Prison - Silver ArmletKeep battling down trough the train tracks.

Go across all of the tracks and talk to all of your party members. Go into the booth and hit the switch and keep following the track to the city. At the end of the area, you enter an area where you can hear some birds chirping. If you climb up the wall in that area you will find a few birds. you can choose to take 10 Phoenix Downs, but if you do you?ll have to fight a Cokatolis. Exit the train area and head towards North corel. North corel was a coal mining town but now is burned up and very junky. Barrett grew up here. Barrett also receives a bad reception becouse of his past. Buy new weapons and armor and head to the Golden Saucer Ropeway, which is to the west. Before you depart on the ropeway tough, Barrett will tell you the entire story of North Corel. Basically what happened is there was an explotion at the Mako Reactor in Corel and Shinra blamed the citizens living in North Corel, saying that is was a terrorist attack, so they burned the whole place down, killing most of the people and making Barrett an outcast.Go up to the Gold Saucer. Buy a lifetime pass if you can, becouse you can do many things here later. Choose a Character to come with you, and enter the Square. You will find Cait Sith here. Name him and he will join you after you talk to him a few times for no real reason xDPlay some games enter the battle square. Some guards are dead and it looks like Barretts?s work, becouse of the bullet holes in all of the people. One of the daying men says it was also a guy with a gun grafted into his arm. Dio, the golden Saucer owner, throws you out of the Gold Saucer and into the prison below the Gold Saucer area.The place is completely surrounded by quiclsand and you quickly learn that you won?t be able to get out of the prison is any normal way. Also some bandits living here can steal your items. If you get info a battle and an enemy steals an items and then runs away, you can?t get it back, but if you quickly kill them you can. Barrett is also here and???????? but follow him off the screen to the open area. You will learn a bit about his past and how he got his gun grafted into his arm. he tells the story of Dyne and how Barrett and Dyne were attacked by Scarlet. Dyne hung off the ledge as Barrett cought him. The Shinra soldiers shoot at Barrett and Dyne, causing them to lose their arms.Go back to the area where you entered, and there will be yet another dead guy killed in the same way the people in the Golden Saucer were. Go trough the east gate and you will run into Dyne. Dyne is very bitter about what happened four years ago, and is intend on destroying everything. He will get mad and you will have to fight him with Barrett alone.Boss Strategy - Dyne Trade normal attacks while keeping your hp up He doesn?t have much variety in attacks You?ll win Silver Armelt for killing himDyne can use an attack called S-Mine that is basically the same as a normal attack, but he uses it right after a normal attack. Don?t let you HP drop under 350 or so becouse he can deal that much damage in two shots. Also, Dyne?s desperation attack is molotov Cocktail, which does 150 or so damage. Keep hacking away with attacks and he?ll be dead.After defeating Dyne, he is still alive but wounded. Barrett attempts to help Dyne, but Dyne just gives him a pendant to give to Barret?s daughter and plummets to his death, jumping off the cliff.You will get to rest up and the next morning you will meet the chocobo racer. apparently you will be able to win you way out of the prison if you can win the chocobo race in the Golden Saucer. You will meet Ester, the manager of the races, and she tells you how to race. She?ll also loan cloud her Chocobo to race with. Make sure to grab the Ramuh Summon Materia in the room.The actual race really isn?t hard at all one you get the hang on it. Use Manual controll and increase your speed at the start of the raceso you don?t waste as much stamina as the other racers. Once you win, you will get out of the jail. If you fail, you can keep trying as many times as neccasary until you win.Dio apologizes for the mixup. He?ll allow you acces to his Buggy so you can leave the desert. Heading trough a rift in the water, you will reach the gongaga area.
14: Gongaga
Items: Titan Materia, deathblow Materia, X-Potion, White M-phone, Fairy TaleTake all-terrain vehicle across the river back to the Gongaga area. Cross the shallow place in the river. Follow past the destroyed Mako reactor and enter Gongaga.Upon entering, you will run into the Turks. Elena runs off and leaves Reno and rude to attack you.Boss Strategy - Reno and Rude
Equip Elemental-Fire in armor Kill Rude first Use Summons and Magic more than normal attacks Winning gets you an X-Potion and Fairy TaleThis is an extremely easy boss fight. Do your best to pummel Rude early becouse he can heal both himself and Reno. Unleash summon materia and you should be able to cruise trough this fight.Follow the path that Elena took to the Mako Reactor that has been destroyed. You will see a small sequence in which Scarlet and Tseng show up and are looking for something called a &Huge Materia&. They can?t find anything, so they leave. Check the area Scarlet was searching for the Titan Materia. This is a useful summon. Go trough the other path on the crossroads and pick up the Deathblow Materia on the way. You will come across a very small village and several people talk about Zack, a guy that left the town for Soldier. Aeris remembers that name as her old boybrienf.When done buying items or resting up, take the buggy to Cosmo Canyon.
15: Cosmo Canyon
Items: Added Effect Materia, Black M-phone, Ether, Fairy Ring, X-Potion, Turbo Ether, Gravity MateriaCosmo Canyon is as its name suggests, located in a Canyon near Gongaga. Cross the river to the south of the village and follow the path into the canyon. The Buggy will break down right in front of Cosmo Canyon.Cosmo Canyon is Red XIII?s hometown, where he is called Nanaki. You will see a man in the middle of town that will offer to fix the buggy for you if you study. Follow Red XIII up to meet his grandfather, Bugenhagen. Talking to Barrett here will teach you about some Avalanche history. He says that he once planned to bring the entire Avalanche group here one day.Buganhagen has an observatory at the top of Cosmo Canyon and tells you about the planet?s lifestream. Ge?ll say the lifestream consists of a path oder energy of souls roaming arounf the planet. He?ll tell
(and show) you about what is happening to the planet becouse of Shinra. Talk to him another time and he?ll bring you to the very center of the town. After talking to the rest of your party, talk to Red XIII and he will tell you a bit about his family. RedXIII asks you to create a party including himself, so you have to take him for the upcoming dungeon. go up to where Bugenhagen is an he will open a path to the Cave of Gi.In the cave there are actually quite a few secret paths and areas where you could get lost, butit?s really not very long. The Gi Spectors here use Death Sentence on your characters so bring some Phoenix Downs. Also touching the gold liquid will cause you to slip so try to stay away from it. In the small maze area with twisting paths is an Added Effect Materia on the bottom left. You will get to a point where there are 5 caves you can enter to proceed.
First Tunnel - goes to the fith tunnel Second Tunnel
- leads to a fight with stingers Third Tunnel - Dead end Fourth Tunnel - leads to a fight with Stingers, and an Item Fifth Tunnel - connects with first tunnelYou must take the second tunnel to get by, it?s really the only path you need to take, but taking the fourth tunnel gets you an item after fighting the Stingers.Equiping items that resist fire is a good idea for the next boss. Also make sure each character has a powerful summon materia. Approach the face in the wall at the end od the cave and you?ll encounter Gi Nattak.Boss Strategy - Gi Nattak Can be killed instantly by using a Pheonix Down (May miss sometimes) Can use attacks to steal HP/MP
Has a lot of fire based attacks Get a wizer staff and Phoenix Down for winningNothing too terribly hard here. If you have fire resistance here will be pretty easy. Consistantly summon Shiva and Ramuh and he will go down fast. If you don?t have summons use ice based magic.After you defeat the boss, Bugenhagen will show you the statue of RedXIII?s father, Seto. RedXIII will realize that his father was a hero that saved the village. After talking about what happened, Bugenhagen asks RedXIII to continnue with Cloud becouse he can help the world. When leaving town RedXIII will run down and join you again. Leave Cosmo Canyon and head southwest, to Nibelheim, cloud?s hometown.
16: Nibelheim
Items: Nibelheim - Luck Source x2, Elixier, Platinum Fist, Turbo EtherItems: Shinra Mansion - Silver M-phone, Enemy Launcher, Magic Source, Twin Viper, Odin Materia, Cosmo MemoryItems: Mount Nibel - Rune Blade, Plus Barrette, Powersoul, Elixier, Counter Attack Materia, Sniper CR, Elemental Materia, All MateriaAccording to Cloud?s memories Nibelheim completely burned down but as you enter you find out it looks like nothing happened at all. Go around trough the homes and you?ll find small guys wearing capes. They tell you that nothing ever happened here and Nibelheim never burned down. After talking to them, most of them give you an item.You can go to Tifa?s piano but you won't be able to get her Ultimate Limit Break until disk 2. It's important to note here that if you play the piano anyways and complete the first line, you'll receive Tifa's hidden savings, which amounts to an amazing 1 gil. You also don't have to repeat it when you come back on disk 2, just play it once before the second line. If it isn't working try repeating it again, as its hard to tell if it worked properly until Tifa comes out and mentions she remembers the song. You will need Tifa in your party when you do this otherwise it won't work. There will be a reminder to pick this up later in this guide when this becomes available to you, but here is the button sequence for the song:[cancel] [switch] [menu] [page up]+[menu] [page up]+[switch] repeated twice[cancel] [switch] [menu] [page up]+[cancel] [OK] [cancel] [switch] [cancel] When ready, head to the Shinra Mansion to the north.Explore all the rooms and gain some levels here. read the notes on the floor. The first note suggests someone is trapped in the basement. The second not says something about a safe, and says you have 20 seconds to open it. There are hints telling you what the combination is hidden within the rooms.So the code for the safe is:L=Left R= RightR36, L10, R59, R97.You have to fight a boss to get the prize. (Which is a powerful Summon Materia and Vincent a new member for your party)Boss Strategy - Lost Number Unleash your summons Get Odin Materia for winningIf you defeat the purple side first, the red side will begin using strong magic. If you defeat the red side first, the purple side will use physical attacks. Once you have defeated on Side it won?t be as tough trough. Also, if yo?re using Aeris here her seal Evil Limit Break can paralyze it for most of the fight. This makes the battle incredibly easy.You get the Odin Materia after defeating it. Also you choose to open the safe, you will recieve the Basement Key. This allows you to unlock a locked door below. When ready, head down to the masement that you saw in the flashback scene trough the hidden passage. Unlock the door to the east. When you go up to the coffin in the room, you?ll meet a man named Vincent. ask him about Sephiroth and he?ll just go back in to his coffin. Talk again to him an he?ll tell you his name. He?ll ask you if you?ve seen a woman named Lucretia, who he says is Sephiroth?s mother. Then he?ll go back into his coffin again. Don?t worry about this, he?ll join you later.Head into the library here. Surprisingly Sephiroth is here waiting for you!he?ll ask Cloud about the &Reunion&, and Cloud has no idea what he is talking about, and asks Cloud to go to Mount Nibel, where they had been 5 years ago. He?ll throw a destruct Materia at you as he bolts out.When heading out, Vincent will join your party for good. Head back to Nibelheim, this time taking the north path to head to Mount Nibel. It?s a very short walk away between the mountains. The path is linear but long, and there quite a lot of enemyss on the way so don?t go trough too fast. This will seem familiar as this is the same place Cloud and Sephiroth climbed 5 years ago. After crossing the bridge, you will find a place where you can jump infto 5 different chutes. But don?t jump down just yet, go down the ladder and push the folding ladder down so you can come back at the top after you?ve taken a chute. Chute 1 - Leads right in front of the scorpion- like creature Chute 2 - Leads to a ledge with the powersoul for Tifa Chute 3 - Just takes to the second level Chute 4 - Drops you near a chest with an All Materia Chute 5 - Just takes you to the second levelWhen ready, take the path to the south next to the creature, and you will get to the place near where Cloud fell 5 years ago. The cave is very small. After passing the Nibel Reactor, take the door behind it and you will have to fight another boss.Boss Strategy - Materia Keeper
weak to Bolt and Ice Magic Uses Trine which you can learn as an Enemy Skill Get Jem Ring for defeating itMateria Keeper is one of the toughest bosses in the game in my opinion, but still not too bad. Make sure not to use your gravity magic on it becouse it absorbs it. It?s Trine attack is very powerful, as it can hit your entire party for about 500 DMG. It also has several other attacks that do about 200-350- DMG each. Focus on kill it quickly with Bolt 2 and Ice 2 Spells.Make sure to grab the Counter Magic Materia that the Materia Keeper droped, and equip it as it?s a very good ability to have. When ready you can exit Mount Nibel and head towards Rocket Town. It?s easy to spot as there?s a rocket sticking out of the ground.A Note From Mr.SelfI actually found that this boss is entirely skippable, the only boss I know of in the game you can do that with. When you take the south path through the cave it leads to the reactor, and where the story needs to go. It appears you can take the other path right past it and continue with the story. Hasn't been completely verified but seems to work fine
17: Rocket Man
and Yuffie?s Story
Items: Rocket Town - Power Source, Yoshiyuki, Drill ArmItems: Wutai - Dragon Lance, Hairpin, Elixir, Swift Bolt, MP Absorb Materia, HP Absorb Materia, Leviathan Materia, Steal-as-Well Materia, OritsuruExplore the town and talk to everyone. You will learn about the Shinra?s space program and how something terribly went wrong so it never entered space. There are some nice shops here with new weapons and armor so make sure you stock up. also, talk to the man outside the item shop and choose to look at the rocket with him, an he?ll give you a weapon, the Yoshiyuki. you will find that the captain is a man name Cid, but he?s not at his house right now. You can see his plane here trough, the Tiny Bronco. Cid?s assistant tells you that Rufus is coming to town and Cid hopes he plans to reinstate the space program. When ready, climb the top of the rocket and talk to Cid. He?ll tell you about he was supposed to get into space but a disaster happened and the rocket never lifted off. If you ask him about using his Tiny Bronco, he?ll get????????and basically say no way. ;)Head back to Cid?s home. Shera will tell you all about the day of the suposed lunch, and then Rufus will arrive. Go back and tank to Cid again. Rufus says he?s not going to restart the space program but wants to borrow the Tiny Bronco becouse Sephiroth has already crossed the sea. Cid gets????????becouse he thought he might be going into space again. Palmer, a shinra flunkie, tries to steal the Tiny Bronco anyway. Go to the back of Cid?s house and stop him.Boss Strategy - PalmerThis fight is basicaly a joke, he?s not really even a real boss. You can paralyze him right away with chocobo/Mog Materia or Aeris?s Seal Evil limit Break. For defeating him, you?ll recieve a Edincoat.Also Palmer is weak to sleep.After you defeatet Palmer, the plane is already moving so the team jumps onto it, including Cid. Rufus gets very mad. The plane goes out of control and eventually crashes into shallow water. You are now able to head to Yuffie?s hometown, Wutai, if you?d like, but it?s an optional part of the story. If you don?t want to do this side quest, don?t head north becouse you can?t get out of the side quest if you start it. If you don?t want to do the Wutai quest, skip to chapter 18 and head for Gongaga Village again.As you head north, go trough the mountains pass and Yuffie will tell you this is her hometown. as you check your materia, you realize it is all gone and Yuffie has stolen
it. You?ll also run into some very easy shinra guards to fight here. Follow Yuffie trough the town and try to catch her. Also note that if you aquire any Materia in Wutai, Yuffie will run by and steal it. You?ll learn from the people Yuffie ran towards Lord Godo?s house, to the north of Wutai. Godo will be sleeping in his house, and after speaking to him multiple times Yuffie will run by and Godo chases Yuffie out of the house. There is a secret room in Godo?s bedroom which allows you to head trough a fake wall to get a Hairpin for RedXIII. Go down to the house near the beginning of wutai and you?ll see Yuffie hiding behind the screen to the left. Find her, and she?ll run off. Now search the jar in the front of Turtle?s Paradise and you will have her surrounded. She?ll say she gives up and will take you to her basement. She tells you to pull the left switch to get the Materia. No matter which switch you pull, it?s a trap and a huge cage comes down on top of you. Free the characters and start chasing her again. Head to the north part of wutai and ring the gong. It will open a secret door into the mountains. You will find that Don Corneo is back, and he?s kidnapping Yuffie and Elena. Follow him quickly and you?ll find out that the turks are here. Reno and Rude won?t fight you but they will suggest that corneo ran up the mountain. Follow him there and you?ll find Corneo with both Yuffie and Elena hanging on the mountain. You will have to fight a boss here.Boss Strategy - Rapps Have many Hi-Potions/Phoenix Downs ready Use a barrage of normal attacks and magic itemsThis fight is especially annoying becouse you don?t have any of your Materia. Use any magic items you can becouse they?ll do a lot of damage. Otherwise use normal attacks and use your items to heal. Rapps can do an attack called Aero 3 that can do about 1,500 DMG to one person, so make sure you use Hi-Potions after this attack. Having Barrett use Mind Blow limit break to drain his MP is a good idea, as is having Vincent transforming into on of his beast forms. Physical limit breaks will help a lot here. When you win this fight, yiu will get a Peace Ring.The Turks will come and agre to leave you without a fight as you helped each other out here. Yuffie will apologize for stealing you Materia and you will get it back. You can now do a Pagoda sidequest to get Leviathan Materia and Yuffie?s ultimate limit break here. Save up and head to the Pagoda to the north, and Yuffie will undergo a trial. Give her your best Summons and Magic Materia.First Fight - GorkiGive Yuffie Elemental/Gravity Materia combination to resist his Gravity attacks. Also make sure she has Cure Materia. His attacks will be useless if you have this materia combination. You?ll receive an X-Potion for defeating it.Second Fight - ShakeGive Yuffie a Barrier Materia. Shake?s Rage Bomber can do 600 DMG but Barrier will block half of the DMG. Chocobo/Mog Summon can stun Shake well. Use summons and you shouldn?t have trouble here.Third Fight - ChekhovEquiping the fairly newly acuired Jem Ring helps a lot becouse you can negate his paralyze attack. Use Barrier again ti absorb half of the damage of his attacks. Also use Haste becouse he is very slow.Fourth Fight - StanivHe mainly uses normal attacks, so use Barrier again. Normal attacks can do the job here, especially when Hasted. If you have Barrier up this fight won?t be tough at all.Fith Fight - GodoThis one is pretty tough. He uses Beast Sword and Trine, two very powerful attacks. The gold face can also use Cure 2, and the white face uses offensive spells like Bio and Demi 3. You won?t win this fight if you don?t havethe right Materia on Yuffie. Make sure she has Cure, Time and Barrier at least. Cast Barrier right away and try to keep up a constant attack while healing with Cure. You?ll get the Leviathan Materia and Yuffie?s ultimate Limit Break, &All Creation& for winning. When ready, head back to the gongaga area, to a house alone near a penisula. There is a weapon seller here. He tells you about the Temple of the Ancients and how there is an item Called a &Keystone& that unlocks that temple that he sold to Dio, the Golden Saucer owner.Go back to the Golden Saucer trough the North Rocel ropeway. Go to the Battle Arena again, and to a side room, and the keystone will be displayed upon a pedestal. Dio will show up and Cloud will ask to borrow it. Dio says he?ll allow Cloud to use the keystone if he will fight in the Battle Arena. It doesn?t matter if you win here, as long as you try. If you defeat all eight opponents you?ll receive a Choco Feather and Protect Vest trough.
18: Quest for The Keystone
Go to the Battle Quare and go into the showroom. The Keystone is in the center room on the pillar. When you try to take it, Dio comes in and says he will let you borrow it if Cloud will fight in the Battle Arena. Agree and enter the arena. You will have to chose a random item from a slotmachine device that will help of hurt your efforts. You will get the Keystone after the battle.You have to spend the night at the hotel, since the transport is out of order. Cait Sith will come with you. You will find out that Sephiroth is trying to find the Black Materia. Aeris will ask you on a date. you can take the rides in the Golden saucer for free with her. When you enter the theater area, the announcer will say you are the 100th couple to enter, so you have to be in a play. The play is one of the most humoous parts of the game. You are given several options on response during the play. You can either make the play great or a disaster. It?s really pretty entertaining if you intentionally try to screw it up.Aeris will ask to ride the condola next. You will see another Sequence. Aeris will ask you if you want to go on another date with her. (I of course, said yes!) The sequence is very cool here. As you are leaving, you will see now that Cait Sith has stolen the keystone and is heading to the chocobo Racing part of the Golden Saucer. Chase him and you will learn that he works for the Shinra and was a spy the whole time. He will throw the keystone to Tseng and he will get away with it. The party gets????????at Cait Sith but allows him to rejoin the party becouse he gives you information about the Temple of the Ancients. You will gather in the lobby, and you decide to go to the Ruins and get the Balck Materia before Sephiroth. Chose who you want and go to the Temple of Ancients, which is located in the middle of a jungle.

Go farther inside and you will see Tseng of the Turks lying on the ground, wounded badly. He will give you the Keystone and tell you to place it on the altar. Do so and it will open a passage into the temple.The main part of the temple is basically a maze. However, a lot of the ledges and areas that you see can?t even travel on, it?s just there to throw you off. Make sure to get all of the treasures here, a lot of the items are very useful, You will eventually see a small purple guy. Rest in his house anytime you need to. This will allow you easy access to all the treasures in the area becouse you can just rest again if you are hurt.Go trough the second part of the maze and you?ll see another purple guy run into a door. Follow him into a room with boulders falling across the path. It?s pretty easy to get past, just run trough and make sure yo?re in the indentations so you don?t get hurt. You?ll soon come across a trap that shurts itself on you and bring you to a big light beam. You?ll also see a flashback, which is what happened right before you entered the temple.You will now come to a large circular room that is laid out like a clock. You can spin the handy of the clock so that the hour/minute handy form a bridge to walk across into different areas. Room 1: Trap (Boss) Room 2: Blocked Path Room 3: Trap Room 4: Prince Guard Item Room 5: Path and a Treasure Room 6: Chase the Dwarf puzzle Room 7: Weapon for Cait Sith Room 8 : Elixier Room 9: Blocked Path Room 10: Starting Point Room 11: Blocked Path Room 12: Boss and the ExitAfter you go trough door 6, you will have to follow his pattern running trough different doors. Each of the doors here is connected to another door in the maze. You have to figure out which door he will come out next so you can catch him. You can jump down levels by pressing the Circle button. When you cath him he will unlock the door for you so you can get past. Save and rest at the save point.Again, you?ll see another flashback from earlier. Sephiroth is talking about the Ancients and how he plans to become the planet itself. Cloud again begins to have a mental trauma. Sephiroth will leave, but give you a Red Dragon to play with.Boss Strategy - Red Dragon very weak to Ice based Magic Absorbs Fire Bio spells are very usefulStart the fight by poisoning him with Bio. Regenning your characters will help also becouse he does various attacks that do around 700 DMG to your party. Make sure to summon Shiva often. Casting Barrier on your party can also negate some of the physical attacks. Keep pummeling him with ice based stuff and he?ll go down.After you win, collect the Bahamut Materia he left behind. Go into the room on the right and you will find the black Materia Tseng was talking about on the altar. The thing is, the Black Materia can not simply be taken becouse it is the temple itself. Cait Sith will volunteer to stay behind a sacrifice himself for the cause of getting the Materia. Have the main team go back into the clock room and go to room 12. You will have to fight another boss, Demon?s Gate.Boss Strategy - Demon?s Gate Slow spells work He can petrify your characters He is immune to Gravity and Poison Get the gigas Armelt for WinningLaunch a barrage of of Bahamut, Kjata, and Ifrit summons. He can petrify your characters so be ready to use softs on them to make them active. Most of his special atacks are physical, so if you need to, make use of Barrier spells.Cait Sith calls out Cloud from the outside, saying he will take the Black Materia and sacrafice himself now. As he does, the entire Temple implodes and becomes the Materia, and as you are walking towards it, Sephiroth will come. Cloud is overtaken by mental strain yet again, and Cloud inadvertently hands the Black Materia over to Sephiroth.Cloud passes out and has a dream about how Aeris explains she is going to fight Sephiroth by herself. As you wake up, Aeris has already left and you?re in the Gongaga Inn. Leave for the northern continent of the world with the Tiny Bronco. Go up the coastline.
