armors as well. I completely rewrote the entire walkthrough, added a
Materia Section, Emerald and Ruby Weapon strategies, all items, and
various other things.
Version 2.0
--In this new version, I have gone through and done some minor corrections
on a few of the spellings and margins. I have added a Weapons list for all
of the characters, and an Enemy Skill list.

Weapon Strategies
After watching the FMV intro you will be in the game. Jump off the train and follow
Barrett and the Avalanche resistance team. You are raiding the Shinra Mako Reactor 1
and are attempting to blow it up. The Avalache are a Shinra resistance team that
is attempting to fight the Shinra for sucking the lifeforce out of the planet through
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 yourname. Name Cloud
(In this guide I will call the characters by their default name) The Avalanche will
open the gate. Follow them. Barrett will stop you and say that he doesn't trust you.
You now get to name Barrett. 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 in a little. Cloud will set a bomb at the
reactor. You will run into the first boss now, 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 healed, use some potions.
(This isn't too hard, and it should be a short fight.)
At some points, Guard Scorpion raises its tail and begins to shake.
When he does this, don't attack him. If you attack at this point he
will use his laser weapon that deals about 75 hit points damage to
both Cloud and Barret. Just concentrate on keepings character's hit
points over 100 and you should win with normal attacks.
******************************************************
After the battle, you have 10 minutes to escape the complex (Including battles). 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. When you reach the top level talk
to Biggs and Jessie again and they'll release the locks. Run out of the area and watch
the pretty FMV.
Event 2: Avalanche Headquarters
Items:
Sector 7 Slums - All Materia, Ether
The team escapes from the reactor and proceeds to go back to their hideout. Barret
wants the team to meet at the Sector 8 Station. Follow Barret off the screen.
You will run into Aeris for the first time on your way. She is the one that is
selling flowers. When you talk to Aeris, say:
1. Nothing happened
2. That you would like a flower for 1 Gil.
By doing this, you will unlock a special sequence in the bar later. Proceed through the
Area 8 city. You will have a choice to confront the guards or not. It is good to fight
these guys, because they give pretty good experience that you might need later. You will
escape with another CG showing you fleeing the station. You will be informed of
Avalanche's involvement on the train. You will jump off of the train and get to Agito.
Go to the bar and meet Barrett's daughter and talk to Tifa. Answer "Not this time" and
she will complement you on your maturity. You name Tifa now, and you get to decide to
give your flower to Tifa or Barrett's daughter. It doesn't matter what you choose. Go
to the exit of the bar, and you will enter the HQ under the Pinball machine. You will
tell Barrett that you are not interested in Shinra or Avalanche. Barret and Tifa will
urge you to be in the Avalanche. Be prepared for a flashback sequence. Cloud made a
promise with Tifa long ago. Barret will come in with Cloud's pay. And because of Cloud's
promise, Cloud accepts the next mission. Barret will ask about Materia Orbs. Explain to
him how they work, buy items inthe town, and it's of to Area 5-Mako Industrial Complex.
You will be on the train again. You need to run from car to car in a given amount of
time. Leap from the train into the tunnels. You can get a few items by talking to guys
along your way, and one guy will take something, but by talking to him you can take that
item back. Hurry along through the cars and you will get to the walkway. You will find a
small hole leading to Area 5. Go in and be ready for battle. The enemies here are a little
stronger than before. Battle all of the monsters and get to the reactor. A flashback will
hit Cloud. Plant the bomb, and follow Tifa into the controls center. You have to push a
button at the same time as Barrett. Keep trying this until you can do it, because you
have unlimited time. It will open a gate which you need to enter. You are surrounded by
guards on a bridge, and you meet the president of Shinra. You will have to fight a boss
now.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Air Buster
-Limit Break attacks do the most damage.
-Hitting Air Buster in the back will increase
the damage done by a lot. 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.
Attacks do more damage when you hit Air Buster from behind. It is
also weak to Bolt magic, so use that if you don't have powerful
attacks.
******************************************************
After beating Air Buster, Cloud falls unto a ledge and falls into the city below. Barret
and Tifa escape. When Cloud wakes up, he is in Aeris's church where she is growing
flowers.
Event 4: Meeting Aeris
You will awaken in a slum. Keep talking to Aeris and tell her you remember her. You get
to name her now. Aeris requests that you will be her bodyguard, and that you get a date
with her later. Tseng enters the church, trying to kidnap Aeris. You have to try to get
away, so he can't succeed. Head to the top of the chapel. Aeris will fall and you will
be by some barrels. Tell Aeris to hold on each time she asks. The order for pushing the
barrels is: the left most barrel 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 to the northeast to Aeris's Cottage.
Cloud says he needs to go to Area 7. Go upstairs and rest. You have to escape without
Aeris because Cloud thinks it is too dangerous for her. Walk across the floor and you
will be on your way. Leave Area 5 slum and Aeris will be waiting for you at the entrance
to Area 6. You will see a sequence of Cloud and Aeris at a playground. Now a caravan
comes with Tifa. Follow Aeris to the slum town.
Event 5: The Slums
Items:
The Slums - 5 Gil, Ether, Cover Materia, Poison, Phoenix
Wall Market - Ether, Hyper, Phoenix Down
Sewers - Potion, Steal Materia, Hi Potion, Echo Screen, Ether
Buy any items that you need here. Go southeast to the women club and talk to the manager.
Ask him if he knows where Aeris 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 to
the clothing shop to the west side of town. The owners son will tell you to go to the bar.
Go there and talk tohis father. He will eventually make a dress for you. You get to decide
from 3 dresses which one you want. To get the best dress, chose that you want "Something
that feels soft" and "Something that shimmers". Go to the clothing shop again and the owner
will have made your dress. Now you need a wig. Go to the gymnasium below the weapon shop.
The women 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 bend over. You have to keep a constant pattern to
win. You will get the wig even if you loose. Winning the little game will get you the
Blonde wig, however, and losing will get 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
must try to gets some medicine for her. Go to the local restaurant and buy any meal. You
will get a coupon after eating. Take this coupon to the Pharmacy and exchange it for the
Digestive. Take the Digestive to the lady in the bar 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, 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 Tiara.
Undergarment and Make-up: Head down buy the entrance to the Honey Bee Inn. Talk to the
man, 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 doesnn't matter
which one of these you choose. Go into the room that you would like, talk through
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 make-up on you.
Cloud should now have everything he needs now to get chosen by Don Corneo.
Go to the mansion. You will get to go in. Go downstairs and find Tifa. She 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 be in Corneo's bedroom and
he will tell you about the Shinra's plan. You will see a Shinra sequence. Right when you
land, you have to fight the boss, Aps.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Aps
-The best thing to use in this battle is Fire
magic.
-One of Aps's attacks, Sewer Tsunami, does
damage to everything, including Aps himself.
-It is not hard to beat Aps, just use Cloud's
Cross Slash if he has it, and Limit Breaks from
the other characters.
Aps is weak to fire magic and you can take him down fast with it.
Cloud and Tifa should be using normal attacks while Aeris heals
the party and uses the fire magic. Cloud's Cross Slash Limit Break
can also paralyze Aps.
******************************************************
After you beat Aps, you will have to go through all of the sewers. Make sure your allies
are all healed. Fighting here for awhile can get you some good experience, so here might
be a good time to gain some levels. After fighting for awhile, make sure to grab the Steal
Materia, and equip it on someone, preferably Tifa. After you exit the sewers, you'll be
in a Train Graveyard. Getting the items laying on top of the trains and in the barrels
will help. Make your way up the first large train, jump to the bottom, and go around to
the middle hall. Go inside the train, and exit out the other end. Go up toward another
part of the Graveyard. In this area, there is an enemy named Eligor, and by stealing from
him, you can get the Striking Staff, the best weapon for Aeris in this point of the game.
Make sure to get one of these, as it will help you. You must make your own path to the
exit of the Graveyard by going in the different trains. Go over the bridge and into the
next area.
Event 6: Battling in Area 7
Items: Sense Materia, Turbo Ether, Ether
You will find Barrett and the Avalanche already in battle. Go through to the top of the
tower and you will find Barret already fighting up there. 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.
-Reno will run away after you hit him hard enough.
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 Pyramid attack creates a golden pyramid that also stuns
the player. You can destroy the pyramid by having one of your
own targets fight the pyramid itself. Fire and Ice magic is
both effective here as well.
******************************************************
Reno will leave and you can't save Area 7. You will see a CG clip and Area 7 will be
destroyed. Barrett goes ballistic because of his anger that Avalanche members have died
and he could have lost his daughter, and the other Avalanche members. Go to Aeris's
house and hear the rest of the story.
Event 7: Shinra Headquarters
Items: Elixir, Potion x4, Enemy Skill Materia
You will find Aeris's mother and she will explain to you about Shinra. Go upstairs to
Barret. He will tell you he thinks Aeris likes you. You get to accept the decision or
not. Sleep and go back downstairs. Go to the north slums follow the children running
from a fight. Ask them what they are doing. Go to the pipe behind and follow it to the
upper levels of Midgar.
Climb the pipe up and it won't work. Now you have to climb down and buy a battery.
Buy 3 of them. Now use the batteries in the battery outlets. You have to do some hard
jumps with the Circle button. You will eventually reach the top. You are now 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 have to run a long time. You have to go up nine sets
of stairs but there are no enemies here, but there is an Elixir on the fifth set. If you
take the stairs you will end up on level 59.
If you go through the front you witll 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 chests in the back
of this area until farther into the game. The enemies here are very easy, so when you're
ready take the elevator to the 59th floor.
59th floor:
There 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 floor:
Run 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 floor:
Talk to the man near the stairts and he'll give you the keycard for the 62nd floor.
There's nothing else to do here so head there.
62nd floor:
Visit 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 pasword on the first guess you receive Elemental Materia.
Hart's hints are:
-There are four research libraries on the floor with four different section 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 file
The 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 staircase and go to floor 63.
63rd floor:
You 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 the 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 floor:
This is a big recreational complex, and there is a save point here. Save you game.
Visit the locker room and you can get a few items from the lockers. You will see a
Megaphone here but you won't 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 on up to the 65th floor.
65th floor:
There is a big model of Midgar in the center of the room, but pieces are missing from
it. In the locked chests around the rooms here are 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 66.
66th floor:
Go into the bathroom here and go up the duct, and you will be able to move toward the
Shinra meeting room. You'll learn something about where Aeris is and what the Shinra is
doing. When ready move out of the duct and follow the Shinra members to the 67th floor.
67th floor:
Hojo will move toward 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
toward 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 Slashes and a Hardedge from Solderi 3rds. They are both useful items for this
point in the game. Head up the stairs to the 68th floor when ready.
68th floor:
You 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. You are allowed a chance to equip armor
here. Send Tifa to stay with Aeris cause you'll want Barret's long range attack for
the boss. I recommend giving one person an Elemental and Poison Materia, because it
allows you some resistance from the boss here.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Sample: HO512
-The boss can ressurrect the fallen drones
-You need to use long range attacks
Barret is the only character with a long range normal attack so
make sure he attacks every round. The Sample: HO512 will bring
back its dead buddies so make sure you focus the whole fight onto
HO512 itself. He is weak to Bolt magic.
******************************************************
After you dfeat the boss you can get a Enemey 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 be here weaiting for you, and they will bring you
to the President. The President will talk to you about how he believes Aeris is
a Cetra and key to the promised land. You are taken to cells on teh 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 fallen guard. Wake up Tifa and you can free the rest of
the characters. You will notice that all the lab technicians have been sliced and
Jenova is not in the same place anymore. 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
-Physical Limit Breaks work well
-Receive a Mythril Armlet for winning
Make sure you go full force and pack the most power at the
beginning of fight and kill it as soon as you can so it doesn't
have a chance to use its special move. When you destroy it, Heli
Gunner will come. Use the same strategy on it, and use potions
when neccesary to heal.
******************************************************
Now 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 Materia on his armor so you can resist some of Rufus' attacks.
You get to decide when the battle begins.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Rufus
-Kill his sidekick first because it has powerful magic
-Use many Limit Breaks, Fire/Ice Magic
Rufus is pretty easy if you have the Elemental/Bolt combination
in your armor because his Dark Nation gun uses those attacks on
you. If you did that, you can go straight to pummelling Rufus
with attacks and Magic, but if you didn't you should kill Dark
Nation first. He's really not too difficult.
******************************************************
Event 8: Bike Race and Flashback
When you are in the bike race, just keep all of the guys away from your bike by
swattingthem with your sword if they come too close. You have to fight a big tank boss
at the end of the road. He is pretty easy and you should be able to defeat him with
simple magic and limit breaks. Heal up and fight him. Now go to the town Kalm. Goto
the inn where everyone is, and you 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 will find out more about them. 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 Mako Reactor. On the bridge, it
collapses and you must make your way through the caves. Go farther and Sephiorth will
go inside the Reactor. Sephiroth here finds out that he is a result of an experiment
by Hojo. After this, Sephiroth . 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's going to find see his mother. Sephiroth destroys Nibelheim in rage and slaughters
the villagers, including Cloud and Tifa's parents. As the sequence shifts to the Mako
Reactor once again, Cloud tells a story of how he approached Sephiroth there and tried
to stop him, 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 receive the PHS, which
allows you to change party members on the world map. You can go through Kalm now and
buy near weapons/armor. 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 large
sword, and say he headed east. When ready, leave the and head east to the Chocobo
Ranch.
Event 9: Chocobos!
Items: Ether, Tent, Long Range Materia, Mind Source, Elixer, Hi-Potion
Talk 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 any footprints close the barn and
fight until a Chocobo comes. Don't attack the Chocobo. Kill the other enemies and you
get the Chocobo. Ride it past the snake. You will come 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.
Event 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, because
you have to win it later in the game. It's a fun strategy game that takes awhile 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. You won't be able to buy
items here until you've agreed 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 Naval Base at Junon Harbor.
At this point you can get Yuffie in your party. Start fighting in the forests 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 things to Cloud, and you have to respond
a certain way. After each answer, 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 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, because it will be useful
for the upcoming boss. Also make sure that you have Barret 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 breathing, and Cloud will have to preform CPR on her.
Pressing the O button allows Cloud to fill his lungs with air. When the small meter
reaches the top, press O again and cloud will give her air. You have to get your
timing right but it 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 her offer. Cloud heres a mysterious voice telling
him to ask Tifa about Nibelheim. You will now get to walk around town again. Make sure
to ru ninto Priscilla again and she will give you the Shiva Materia. Priscilla tells
you that Shinra is throwing a ceremony for Rufus, but you can't directly get there
because the soldiers are blocking off the path. However, Priscilla shows Cloud that
her dolphin friend can help. Get on its nose and he will leap high into the air. You
will have to place him at the right spot and you can land on the bar above. You will
now get to Junon.
Event 11: Shinra Military
Items: 1/35th Soldier x2, Mind Source, Luck Source, Power Source, Guard Source, Enemy
Skill Materia, Speed Source
Climp the pole and you will see a unique sequence of a airship taking off. Go west
and go to the door below. Soldiers are hyped here for Rufus' arrival at the base.
Once of the soldiers sees Cloud and assumes he's one of the soldiers, and brings him
to the locker room and dresses him in a uniform. He will teach you the right moves
for the reception committee, which you will have to
You will now have to jump out and join the large parade. Make sure to take your place
behind the commander and fill in the back. Raise the gun when the other soldiers do
as well. You can win different items depending on the ratings you get.
Now you will have to do the different moves in front of Heidegger and Rufus. Just push
the button that Heidegger calls out. Depending on how good you do here, you win
different items afterward. The base is now able to be explored by you, so stock up on
gear and when ready and head to the boat.
Event 12: Relaxation and Surfers!
Items:
Shinra Boat - Ether, All Materia, Wind Slash, Ifrit Materia
Costa Del Sol - Motor Drive, Fire Ring, Power Source
You will learn that all of your characters have snuck unboard in disguises. Go to the
front of the boat to see Barret spying on Rufus and Heidegger. The alarm sounds now,
something is wrong with the ship. Get your party members together and head to the
cargo hold. You will find that most of the crew is dead, and the Shinra officers are
going after anyone not in Shinra, and they will spot 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-Birth
-Casts Stop on characters
-Can do Tail Laser, a 200 hp to all attack
It's time to break out your Summon Materia. Shiva and Chocobo/Mog
both do major damage here, so unleash hell. Also Fire attacks will
do a good deal 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 recommend grabbing Softs for the
upcoming area.
Event 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, Tent
Golden Saucer - Ramuh Materia, Ranch Materia
Corel Prison - Silver Armlet
Keep battling down through the train tracks. You will find a ledge with a great view
of a Mako Reactor at the bottom of the canyon. You will fall down on some of the broken
parts. Grab all of the items down there. 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 toward North Corel.
North Corel was a coal mining town but now is burned up and very junky. Barret grew
up here. Barret also receives a bad reception because 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 though, Barret will tell you the entire story of North Corel. Basically
what happened is there was an explosion at the Mako Reactor in Corel and Shinra blamed
the citizens living in North Corel, saying that it was a terrorist attack, so they
burned the whole place down, killing most of the people and making Barret an outcast.
Go up to the Gold Saucer. Buy the lifetime pass if you can, because 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. :)
Play some games and enter the battle square. Some guards are dead and it looks like
Barret's work, because of the bullet holes in all of the people. One of the dying 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 quicksand and you quickly learn that you won't
be able to get out of the prison in any normal way. Also some bandits living here can
steal your items. If you get into a battle and an enemy steals an item and then runs
away, you can't get it back, but if you quickly kill them you can. Barret is also here
and pissed, but follow him off the screen to the open area. You will learn a bit about
his past and how he got the gun grafted into his arm. He tells the story of Dyne and
how Barret and Dyne were attacked by Scarlet. Dyne hung off the ledge as Barret
caught him. The Shinra soldiers shoot at Barret 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 through the east gate and
you will run into Dyne. Dyne is very bitter about what happened four years ago, and
is intent on destroying everything. He will get mad and you will have to fight him
with Barret alone.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Dyne
-Trade normal attacks while keeping your hp up
-He doesn't have much variety in attacks
-You'll win Silver Armlet for killing him
Dyne 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 your hit points drop before 350 or so because 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. Barret 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 your way out of 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 once you get the hang of it. Use Manual
control and increase your speed at the start of the race so you don't waste as
much stamina as the other racers. Once you win, you will get out of jail. If you
fail, you can keep trying as many times as neccesary until you win.
Dio apologizes for the mixup. He'll allow you access to his Buggy so you can leave
the desert. Heading through a rift in the water, you will reach the Gongaga area.
Event 14: Gongaga
Items: Titan Materia, Deathblow Materia, X-Potion, White M-phone, Fairy Tale
Take the 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 nets you an X-Potion and Fairy Tale
This is an extremely easy boss fight. Do your best to pummel Rude
early because he can heal both himself and Reno. Unleash your summon
materia and you should be able to cruise through 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 through 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 boyfriend.
When done buying items or resting up, take the buggy to Cosmo Canyon.
Event 15: Cosmo Canyon
Items:
Cave of the Gi - Added Effect Materia, Black M-phone, Ether, Fairy Ring, X-Potion,
Turbo Ether, Gravity Materia
Cosmo Canyon is as its name suggets, 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. The buggy 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 Barret here will
teach you about some Avalanche history. He says that he once planned to bring the
entire Avalanche group here one day.
Bugenhagen has an observatory at the top of Cosmo Canyon and tells you about the
planet's lifestream. He'll say the the lifestream consists of a path of energy of
souls roaming around the planet. He'll tell (and show) you about what is happening to
the planet because of the 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. Red XIII asks you to create a party
including himself, so you have to take him for the upcoming dungeon. Go up to where
Bugenhagen is and he will open a path to the Cave of the Gi.
In the cave there are actually quite a few secret paths and areas where you could
get lost, but it's really not very long. The Gi Spectors here use Death Sentance 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 fifth tunnel
Second Tunnel - leads to a fight with Stingers
Third Tunnel - Dead end
Fourth Tunnel - leads to a fight with Stingers, an item
Fifth Tunnel - connects with first tunntel
You must take the second tunnel to get by, it's really the only path you need to take,
but taking the fourth tunnel nets you an item after fighting the Stingers.
Equipping 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 of
the cave and you'll encounter Gi Nattak.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Gi Nattak
-Can use attacks to steal HP/MP
-Has a lot of fire based attacks
-Get a Wizer Staff and Phoenix Down for winning
Nothing too terribly hard here. If you have fire resistance he
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 Red XIII's father,
Seto. Red xIII realizes that his father was a hero that saved the village. After
talking about what happened, Bugenhagen asks Red XIII to continue with Cloud because
he can help the world. When leaving town Red XIII will run down and join you again.
Leave Cosmo Canyon and head soutwest, to Nibelheim, Cloud's hometown.
According to Cloud's memories Nibelheim completely burned down but as you enter you
find out it looks like nothing happened at all. Go around through 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 now and play the tune to get her ultimate limit break now
if you want. When ready, head to the Shinra Mansion to 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 note 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:
-Look for the lid of the box with the most oxygen
(the treasure chest in the atrium)
-Behind the Ivory's short of tea and ray.
(The floor near the piano)
-The creek in the floor near the chair on the second floor. Then to the left five
steps, up nine steps, left two steps, and up six steps
(A loose floorboard near the chair in the bedroom upstairs, then follow the directions
and search)
-Missing clue
(Written in invisible ink, look at the clue sheet at the location where the dial 4 clue
should be)
These hints allow you to find certain places in the mansion which give you pieces of
the combination. Opening the safe isn't neccesary but it does net you a powerful summon
materia if you do, and also a powerful hidden character. I definitely recommend it.
The code for the safe is:
Turn right to 36, left to 10, right to 59, right to 97.
You have to fight a boss to get the prize.
******************************************************
Boss strategy - Lost Number
-Unleash your summons
-Get Odin Materia for winning
If you defeat the purple side first, the red size will begin using
strong magic. If you defeat the red side first, the purple side
will use physical attacks. Once you have defeated one side it won't
be as tough though. Also, if you'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, if you choose to open the safe, you
will receive the Basement Key. This allows you to unlock a locked door below. When
ready, head down to the basement that you saw in the flashback scene through 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 into his
coffin. Talk to him again and 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 "Reuion", 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 through 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 are quite a lot of items on the
way so don't go through 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 into 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 to the top after you've
taken a chute.
Chute 1 - Leads right in front of a scorpion-like creature
Chute 2 - Leads to a ledge with the Powersoul for Tifa
Chute 3 - Just takes to to the second level
Chute 4 - Drops you near a chest with an All Materia
Chute 5 - Just takes you to the second level
When 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
-Uses Trine which you can learn as an Enemy Skill
-Get Jem Ring for defeating it
Materia 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 because it absorbs it. It's Trine attack is very
powerful, as it can hit your entire party for about 500. It also
has several other attacks that do about 200-350 damage each. Focus
on severing it quickly with Bolt 2 and Ice 2 spells.
******************************************************
Make sure to grab the Counter Attack Materia that the Materia Keeper dropped, and
equip it as it's a very good ability to have. When ready, you can exit Mount Nibel
and head toward Rocket Town. It's easy to spot as there's a rocket sticking out of
the ground.
Event 17: Rocket Man and Yuffie's Story
Items:
Rocket Town - Power Source, Yoshiyuki, Drill Arm
Wutai - Dragon Lance, Hairpin, Elixir, Swift Bolt, MP Absorb Materia, HP Absorb
Materia, Leviathan Materia, Steal as Well Materia, Oritsuru
Explore 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, and he'll give you a
nice weapon, the Yoshiyuki. You will find that the captain is a man named Cid, but he's
not at his house right now. You can see his plane here though, 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 how he was supposed to go into space but a disaster happened an the rocket
never lifted off. If you ask him about using his Tiny Bronco, he'll get pissed and
basically say no way. :)
Head back to Cid's home. Shera will tell you all about the day of the supposed launch,
and then Rufus will arrive. Go back and talk to Cid again. Rufus says he's not going
to restart the space program but wants to borrow the Tiny Bronco because Sephiroth has
already crossed the sea. Cid gets pissed because 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 - Palmer
This fight is basically a joke, he's not really even a real boss.
You can paralyze him right away with Chocobo/Mog Materia or Aeris'
Seal Evil limit break. For defeating him, you'll receive a Edincoat.
******************************************************
After you defeating 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 because 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 through the mountain 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
through the town and try to catch her. Also note that if you acquire any Materia in
Wutai, Yuffie will run by and steal it. You'll learn from the people hear that Yuffie
ran toward 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 to head through a fake wall to get a Hairpin for Red XIII. 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 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 have to fight a Shinra squad. Go back to the normal part of
Wutai 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 items
This fight is especially annoying because you don't have any of
your Materia. Use any magic items you can because they'll do a
lot of damage. Otherwise use normal attacks and use your items
to heal. Rapps can do an attack called Scorpion Sting that can
do 1,500 damage to one person, so make sure you use Hi-Potions
after this attack. Having Barret use Mind Blow limit break to
drain his MP is a good idea, as is having Vincent transforming
into one of his best beast forms. Physical limit breaks will
help a lot here. When you win this fight, you will get a Peace
Ring.
******************************************************
The Turks will come and agree to leave you without a fight as you helped each other
out here. Yuffie will apologize for stealing your 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 - Gorki
Give 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 - Shake
Give Yuffie a Barrier Materia. Shake's Rage Bomber can do 600 damage but Barrier
will block half of the damage. Chocobo/Mog summon can stun Shake well. Use summons
and you shouldn't have trouble here.
Third Fight - Chekhov
Equipping the fairly newly acquired Jem Ring helps a lot because you can negate
his paralyze attack. Use Barrier again to absorb half the damage of his attacks.
Also use Haste because he is very slow.
Fourth Fight - Staniv
He 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.
Fifth Fight - Godo
This 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 hav ethe 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
peninsula. There is a weapon seller here. He tells you abou 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 through the North Corel 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 you are fight in the Battle Arena. It doesn't matter if you win or lose
here, as long as you try. If you defeat all eight opponents you'll receive a Choco
Feather and Protect Vest though.
Event 18: Quest For the Keystone
Go to Battle Square 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 slots machine 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 humorous parts of the game. You are given several options on responses 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 gondola next. You will see another FMV. Aeris will ask you
if you want to go on another date with her. (I of course, said yes!) The FMV 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 pissed at
Cait Sith but allows him to rejoin the party because 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 Black
Materia before Sephiroth. Chose who you want and go to the Temple of Ancients, which
is located in the middle of a jungle.
Event 19: Temple of the Ancients
Items: Trident, Mind Source, Silver Rifle, Rocket Punch, Turbo Ether, Luck Plus Materia,
Morph Materia, Nail Bat, Work Glove, Ribbon, Princess Guard, Bahamut Materia, Trumpet
Shell, Megalixer
As you arrive, in the first room, you will find a man clad in black, saying something
about a Black Materia. 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 you can't even travel on, it's just there to throw you off. Make
sure to get all of the treasure 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 because you can just rest
again if you are hurt.
Go through 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 through and make sure you're in the indentations so you don't
get hurt. You'll soon come across a trap that shuts 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 hands of the clock so that the hour/minute hands form a bridge to walk
across into different areas.
Room 1: Trap (Boss)
Room 2: Blocked Path
Room 3: Trap (Boss)
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: Elixir
Room 9: Blocked Path
Room 10: Starting Point
Room 11: Blocked Path
Room 12: Boss and the Exit
After you go through door 6, you will have to follow his pattern running through the
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 of next so you can catch him. You can
jump down levels by pressin the O button. When you catch 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
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 useful
Start the fight by poisoning him with Bio. Regenning your characters
will also help because he does various attacks that do around 700 damage
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 an altar. The
thing is, the Black Materia can not simply be taken because it is the temple itself.
Cait Sith will volunteer to stay behind and 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 a Gigas Armlet for winning
Launch a barrage 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 attacks are physical, so if you
need to, make use of Barrier spells.
******************************************************
Cait Sith calls out to Cloud from the outside, saying he will take the Black Materia
and sacrifice himself now. As he does, the entire Temple implodes and becomes the
Materia, and as you are walking toward 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.
Event 20: The Ancients
Items:
Bone Village - Lunar Harp, Mop, Buntline
Sleeping Forest - Kjata Materia, Water Ring
City of the Ancients - Guard Source, Elixir, Enemy Skill Materia, Magic Source, Aurora
Armlet, Comet Materia
Enter Bone Village, it's on the northern continent. Enter the village and talk to the
boss by the door. He will tell his team to try and find the Lunar Harp if you pay him.
Basically what happens is in this area, three of the diggers can be placed and when
initiated, they will look the way of the harp. Line yourself up to where all of the
diggers are pointed and search and you will find the Lunar Harp.
After getting the Lunar Harp, you can go through the Sleeping Forest. Go through the
forest and get the Materia here before it disappears. There is also a Water Ring in a
chest along the way to the City of the Ancients.
When you arrive at the City of the Ancients, there are three roads. Don't go up the
middle until you've gone through the side areas to rest up and get the treasures here.
While resting in the small house, Cloud awakens because he hears Aeris' voice. Take
the team through the center path, but be sure to get the Comet Materia on the top of
the house first. This materia lets you learn the powerful Comet magic series.
As you go through the middle you will come across a surreal crystalline city. Head up
and you will find Aeris in prayer.
You will find one of the game's most memorable sequences...
Yep folks, the big dramatic scene. Sephiroth, stabbing a sword downward, falls
straight down on Aeris as she prays and she is killed. Sephiroth smirks as he pulls
his sword out of her body. Aeris's White Materia bounces down the pedestals in the
room.
Now you will get enraged with Sephiroth, but he will leave the area quickly and force
you to fight Jenova.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Jenova Life
-Uses water based attacks
-Very weak to Earth spells
-Casts reflect, you can use DeBarrier to destroy it
-Equip the newly acquired Water Ring on someone
-Get a Wizard Bracelet after winning
Powerful summons and Quake magic do the trick here. For added
insurance you can cast MBarrier at the beginning of the fight,
but doing so will make your healing magic less powerful. If you
need, cast Regen so you get extra hit points each round.
******************************************************
Sephiroth has already left for the promised land. Cloud, saddened by the party's loss,
vows to never forgive Sephiroth for what he has done. In a very well done FMV, Cloud
lays Aeris to rest in the water surrounding the city.
Insert Disc 2.
---Disc 2---
Event 21: The Search for Sephiroth
Items:
Corral Valley Cave: Viper Halberd, Bolt Armlet, HypnoCrown, MP Materia, Power Source,
Megalixir
Great Glacier: Mind Source, Poison, Safety Bit, All Materia, Elixir, Alexander Materia
Cloud says that Sephiroth told him to "Head North...past the snow fields..." Climb the
large conch shell type stairs and around to a high ledge. You can get several treasures
climbing up this way so don't miss them. Go the Glacier Lounge near the mountain tops.
Explore the town and enter the house on the eastern edge of town. Look at the map of the
wall. Take the map and talk to the man on the north end of the town and tell him you want
down the hill. You will be stopped by the Shinra. Elena tries to punch you. Dodge to the
left and you will laugh at her falling down the mountain. The town has now been placed
under Shinra guards. Go in the little house in the center of town and talk to the boy.
He will give you a snowboard. You can now snowboard down the hill. This part is pretty
long, but in my opinion one of the funnest parts in the game. you can do tricks by doing
different combinations of the buttons off of jumps. Collect as many items as you can.
When you get to the bottom, get your map and go to the red spot on it.
Touch the steaming lakes and there is Materia here. You will eventually pass out. Talk
to the old man and he will tell you how to climb the cliff. Sleep and then climb. Make
sure your body temperature is higher than 25 degrees, or you will have to start all over.
If you press the Square button, Cloud will run in place and you will generate body heat.
You can also find the Alexander summon Materia in one of the caves here. It's hard to
spot but if you look long enough you will find the cave that has it. You will eventually
find another cave. Go into it. Push the first rock to reveal a path. Go in it. Follow
the passage and you must break the four icicles. (In combat) A bridge will appear in the
room below if you do it. Equip everyone with Fire and Iced based resistance Materia and
go out and fight the boss.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Schizo
-Right side is fire based
-Left side is ice based
-Get a Dragon Fang for winning
This battle is quite easy if you know what to do. Decide which
side You want to take out first and do it fast. Use spells like
Ice 3 and Shiva on the right side, and Fire 3 and Ifrit on the
left. Casting MBarrier is a good way to keep up your defences,
because they cast elemental magic on you as well, in addition to
Quake 3, which is quite annoying if you don't have MBarrier up.
Each head casts a desperation attack that does about 900 damage
when killed, so make sure to keep your hit points above that when
you win.
******************************************************
When you reach the top of the mountain, climb the cliff up to a huge crater.
Event 22: Meteor and the Shinra
Items:
The Crater: Neo Bahamut Materia, Hi-Potion, Ether, MP Turbo Materia, Kaiser Knuckle,
Poison Ring
As you work your way up the crater, make sure you get the Neo Bahamut Materia from
the ground. When partially through the area, Rufus, Scarlet, Hojo, and Heidegger show
up. Ignore them and keep working your way on. In the area where wind is blowing hard,
don't move through, but wait for it to calm down to run again. If you try to head
through the blowing wind you will be forced into a fight.
At the top you will run into Sephiroth, and he's killing a few of the black caped
guys you saw before in Nibelheim. He'll leave you abruptly with Jenova-Death to
fight.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Jenova-Death
-Her attacks are Fire based
-Equip Fire resistance Materia
-Get a Reflect Ring win for winning
MBarrier works wonders here, as Jenova only uses magic. Make sure
to also use slow on her, as it sticks and will make it dramatically
easier to win. Jenova uses Silence spells on the team as well, so
make sure you have Echo Screens ready. Unleash Bahamuj, Neo Bahamut,
and Kjata here and you shouldn't have too much trouble. Actually,
Jenova-Death isn't even very tough for a boss at all for this part
of the game.
******************************************************
Sephiroth has moved even deeper into the crater. Cloud has the Black Materia, but
he decides to give it to a party member because of what happened last time, and he
doesn't want to subconsciously give it away again. Choose Red XIII and move on.
Grab the MP Turbo Materia and save just ahead. As enter the next area you will have
to do the same manuevers through the wind as you did before, and also lightning
that strikes the path. It's not too tough if you time it right.
You will find Sephiroth yet again, and he will show you the flashback of the party
entering Nibelheim again, but things are slightly different. Cloud isn't with him,
instead there is a spikey black haired man with Sephiroth. Sephiroth claims that
Cloud was never at Nibelheim with him then, and that he is a Jenova filled creation
of Hojo just like all of the others. Also, Sephiroth shows you the picture that was
taken that day. Cloud is nowhere in the picture, instead is the spikey black haired
guy. Tifa seems a bit disturbed by these images. Cloud realizes that he doesn't
remember parts of the journey, but he doesn't let it overcome him.
You will find the Shinra inside the crater. No matter who you gave the Black Materia
to, Tifa will tell that person to bring it to the center of the crater. You'll discover
that Tifa was actually Sephiroth in disguise. The person that you gave the Black
Materia will give it to Cloud, and Cloud will give it to the real Sephiroth, who is in
a crystalline state here. As he does, the Weapons will awake from their slumber and you
will be left with a cool FMV scene.
When you awake seven days later, you will be in control of Tifa. She is trapped in a
lab with Barret, and that the Weapons that were released are terrorizing the world.
Sephiroth summoned the power of Meteor, which is to strike the planet soon if no one
can do anything about it.
Rufus will decide that Barret and Tifa are to be executed to raise the Shinra morale
because of they are part of the Avalanche resistance team. They are both taken to a
gas chamber, and Rufus plans to broadcast their deaths to everyone. Tifa is strapped
into a chair, but as the guard exits he accidently drops the key nearby.
Before they pull the switch on executing Tifa though, a Weapon begins to approach Junon
Harbor. Shinra is going to fire the huge cannon connected to Junon to try to stop it.
While confused, Cait Sith in disguise frees Barret from the chamber, and try to get
into the air chamber to save Tifa. Look for the control room. Scarlet locks the press
room so you can't get by that way. You will come across a reported who is actually
Yuffie in disguise. Equip them because you'll have to do some fights here.
You are now in control of Tifa and have to attempt to escape. Pressing certain buttons
in combinations allows Tifa to move certain body parts in attempt to reach the key. Use
Tifa's legs twice first to pull the key over, and then use her Head to make her sit up.
Now, press O and Triangle together to get the key in her mouth, and then press O to
unlock the cuffs. Hit the switch on the left of the chair to stop the gas. The door is
locked but you will receive a bit of help. :)
The Shinra will shoot the cannon at Weapon but it seems to do little good. Weapon cuts
a huge hole in the wall. You are able to climb through the hole and climb the edge of
the area. Run all the way down to the huge cannon to the end, and you'll find Scarlet.
You will now have to fight her in a slapping match. Just keep pressing the Slap button
continously and you will win. As you see Barret in the airship, Tifa will run toward
the end, and jump off and cling to the ladder. The party has taken over the Highwind,
which you will have for the rest of the game. However, Cloud is still nowhere to be
found and the party thinks you should find him quick.
You now have some freedom once you get the airship. If you haven't done so anyway, you
can do the Wutai Pagoda Quest with Yuffie to get the Leviathan Materia and her ultimate
Limit Break, All Creation if you want. Just head to Mideel when you're ready, it's easy
to spot as it's in the middle of a forest area.
Event 23: The Search For Cloud
Items: Elixir, Contain Materia
As you enter Mideel, you will find a dog in the very center of town. As Tifa pets it,
you will overhear a conversation about a spikey haired guy that washed up on shore and
is living here. Go into the hospital and sure enough, Cloud is there. He's undergone
big mental trauma again and is in a state of coma. He has apparently contracted Mako
poisoning. Tifa will volunteer to stay here with Cloud for the time being.
When done shopping in Mideel, head back to the airship. As you enter it Cait Sith will
give you inside information on the Shinra. He says that they plan to collect several
special materia called Huge Materia to combine for their huge cannon at Midgar. He
suggests that you head to the North Corel Reactor.
Event 24: The Shinra Train
As you enter the North Corel area, go down the tracks that you saw before to get to the
reactor area. You will find out that you're just a moment too late, as Shinra is driving
a train away with the Huge Materia. Cid decides to hijack a train from here and chase
after it. To catch up with the train you will have to alternate the train's levels as
fast as possible. The two buttons you have to alternate are Up and Triangle to speed it
up. Work your timing and you can build up speed.
As you catch up your party will jump onto the train. You will be given 10 minutes to
stop the train before it crashes. You will also have to undergo several fights as you
make your way to the front of the train.
Fight 1: Gas Ducter
Very easy, doesn't really take strategy at all. Pelt it with Magic and normal attacks,
but he absorbs Bio magic.
Fight 2: Gas Ducter x2
Same thing but two of them.
Fight 3: Wolfmeister
He is very weak to Water type magic. Leviathan summon will help you out if you need
it, but this fight isn't very hard either.
Fight 4: Eagle Gun
Very weak to Bolt type magic. Hit him with Bolt spells and normal attacks.
Fight 5: Attack Squad
This is actually probably the easiest battle, these guys are very weak and will be
killed easily with normal attacks.
Jump into the front of the train and you will have to stop it. Keep moving both levers
up and down to stop it. You'll have to alternate back and forth until the trains brakes
kick in. You'll see a beautiful FMV in which the train is stopped. You will also have
the first Huge Materia in your posession now. The people of North Corel will be very
thankful that you stopped the train and give you an Ultima Materia.
If you didn't manage to stop the train in time, you won't be able to get this Huge
Materia. Also, you can't get the Ultima Materia for free, you will have to pay 50,000
Gil for it if you want it.
When ready, head back to Fort Condor for the second Huge Materia
Event 25: Return to Condor
Talk to the guard outside and tell him you will assist him. Talk to everyone inside and
gather all of the info. You have to destroy the army going up the hill. Make sure to
have a lot of Gil so you can fund the troops here because you'll definitely want to win.
I recommend putton the Catapults and Stone Throwers near the top of the hill and the
Defenders, Attackers, and Fighters near the bottom so they can be backed up by added
projectile power. If you let enemies up the middle, you'll be forced to fight with the
commander.
After the battle, the condor at the top of the fort is killed, but its egg cracks and
the baby lives. The people are here are grateful that you've saved their fort. Go up to
the top and you'll find the Phoenix Materia near the baby. The man downstairs will now
give you the Huge Materia if you talk to him.
After you're done at Fort Condor, Cid suggests that you go back and check on Cloud in
Mideel.
Event 26: Cloud's Mind and the Final Search
As you enter Mideel, you'll find that he's still in a coma and Tifa is very worried.
You'll hear an earthquake going on outside and the party runs out to check out what it
is. You'll see one of the huge Weapons crash down into the village, and you'll have
to fight it.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Ultimate Weapon
-Use MBarrier immediately
-Make sure you are high on hit points before you attack
You don't need to win here, you just have to survive. His spells are
very powerful and can knock off up to 1700 hit points or so on everyone.
Make sure you immediately MBarrier up and keep people healed. As you get
hit your characters will work up Limit Breaks very fast, so unleash them
as you get them. Also use your most powerful summon materia as well.
******************************************************
As Ultimate Weapon leaves, he destroys Mideel and the lifestream bursts through the
ground. You will awaken as Tifa, who is in the dark and confused. She will eventually
awaken in an area with 3 different Clouds.
Work your way through the different sequences that represent Cloud's life. This
sequence explains who Cloud really is as he discovers what actually happened to him
within the last few years.
(If you don't want to be spoiled don't read the next paragraph)
You will see the scene that Sephiroth showed you before, in which Cloud never was at
Nibelheim but instead the spikey black haired guy is with him. Tifa explains to Cloud
that he really wasn't there, and that she has kept it a secret from Cloud because she
didn't want to confuse him. However, Tifa still thinks she can prove that Cloud is not
just a clone. She asks Cloud to try to remember a memory about her. He remembers that
he tried to join Soldier to prove that he was strong to Tifa. He also recalls the time
in which Tifa's mother died and how Cloud was blamed for almost killing Tifa. Cloud
says that that made him want to be stronger and become like Sephiroth. Tifa remembers
this as well.
Basically what happens is Cloud searches his inner self through many flashbacks to find
out who he really is. Sephiroth's picture and story eat away at him because he isn't
sure he was really at Nibelheim with him years ago. After talking to Tifa, he finds out
that although he was at Nibelheim then, he wasn't in Soldier, and he was in a normal
Shinra uniform. He also wasn't as close to Sephiroth as he thought. The guy that you
saw in the flashbacks with Sephiroth was actually Zack, who was in Soldier. Cloud
realizes that when he confronted Sephiroth at the Reactor in Nibelheim, he was actually
one of the guards that accompanied Sephiroth and Zack. Sephiroth wounded Tifa, then Zack
at the reactor that day. Zack muttered in his last words "Cloud...kill Sephiroth..."
Cloud takes Zack's sword from him, and ran up and slashed Sephiroth, killing him. Cloud
had the Shinra uniform on the whole time. Cloud realizes now that this is what actually
happened and is able to pull himself together and snap out of the coma.
As Cloud recovers, the team suggests to quickly collect the other two Huge Materia.
When you are ready, head to Junon Village, where you can access the underwater reactor
there which is holding the Huge Materia.
Event 27: Junon Underwater Reactor
Items: Battle Trumpet, Scimitar, Leviathan Scales
You can pay 10 Gil to ride the elevator up to the reactor that you couldn't access
before that was blocked off. As you run through the area you will have to fight enemies
so be careful here and make sure everyone is equipped. As you run through Cloud will
notice that something is missing from Junon. Also as you run through, you will run into
many Shinra Soldiers that you can easily defeat. As you make your way through the
reactor, you will find an alarm in the hall. I've both tripped the alarm here and not
tripped the alarm and it doesn't seem to make a difference. You'll take another elevator
down to the ocean floor, and continue to follow the long walkway. You arrive just as the
Huge Materia is being loaded into a submarine. Run to the submarine bay and your team
attempts to intercept it. You will run into Reno here, and he leaves you with a boss to
fight.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Carry Armor
-Watch out for the Lapis Laser
-Arms can hold your characters rendering them inactive
-Receive a God's Hand for winning
This is not a difficult boss at all for this late in the game. He
is extremely weak to Bolt spells, so Ramuh summon and Bolt 3 will
do the job here. MBarrier and Haste will help but you probably
won't even need them. Make sure to take out the legs and arms first.
Its Lapis Laser attack can do about 1300 damage but it shouldn't
hurt you too badly at this point. He can also pick up one of your
characters and will hold that character, and you can't use that
character in battle. You can either kill the character being held
and cast a Life spell or Phoenix Down on that character, or you can
destroy the arm holding the character.
******************************************************
After you defeat the Carry Armor, the submarine with the Huge Materia will already
have left the bay. Hijack the other submarine and you can chase it down, but grab the
chests in the area first. Getting the Leviathan Scales allows you to put out flames
in the Wutai fire cave and the Scimitar is a useful weapon. Fight your way to the
bridge of the submarine and you get a choice to fight them or keep the hostage. It
doesn't matter what you decide, but you can steal a nice Shinra Alpha Armor from the
captain if you fight them.
Now you will get to play the submarine battle minigame.
Controls:
Up - Descend
Down - Ascend
Right - Turn right
Left - Turn left
Triangle - Speed up
Square - Fire Torpedo
X - Slow Down
R1 - Submarine Sonar
You'll have to chase down the enemy sub that has the Huge Materia, but you can't go over
10 minutes doing it. The sub in the red is the one that has the Huge Materia loaded, so
stay near it. The yellow subs will be firing torpedos all over the place at you, so try
to take them out too if possible, but try to make sure you're behind the red sub first.
Try to avoid the small polygons near the towers because they're mines. If you use sonar
you should be able to find the red submarine again.
After winning the battle you will get to keep the submarine. With it you can explore
the ocean floor. On the radio you receive a signal from the Shinra saying that the last
Huge Materia is being shipped from the Junon airport. Dock the sub near Junon and close
in on it! Just as you arrive you will see the plane taking off with the Huge Materia.
When ready, head back to Rocket Town, where your team tries to intercept it.
Event 28: The Quest of Space
Head to Rocket Town and you will find that the Shinra intend to repair the rocket and
launch it. Go back to the rocket area and you'll meet Rude. He will engage you in
attack with his attack squad.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Rude and Attack Squad
-Kill attack squad first
-Have Cid equipped before fight
-Rude uses Bolt Magic
-Lightning resistance helps
Put and end to the attack squad first because they can use Sleep
spells on the party. Just summon Neo Bahamut and Bahamut to deal
with them all at once. When Rude is left alive, he'll start casting
Cure2, but if you cast Reflect on him before it, it will bounce off
of him and heal you. Also, try to steal a Ziedrich off of him if you
can.
******************************************************
After defeating Rude, you will enter the cockpit and find out that it is just about to
be launched. It is set to collide with Meteor in attempts to stop it from hitting the
planet. Cid d3ecides that he's going to pilot the rocket into space and fulfill the
dream he once had. You will see a spectacular FMV of the rocket taking off into space.
Cid shows you where the Huge Materia is kept. However, you will find that it's locked
into the core of the rocket and you have to input a password. Cid will give you several
clues to what the password is, but if you want to get straight to business, enter:
O, Square, X, X
Entering this combination will unlock the Huge Materia. If you don't suceed in entering
the combination in time, it remains there and you have no chance of getting it again.
After you get the Materia, head back to the engine room and you will find an escape pod
you can leave on. Cid now realizes that Shera has done a good job. After you've escaped,
you will see the rocket collide with Meteor. Although it begins to shatter Meteor, it
quickly pieces itself together and continues to head for the planet.
After you regroup, head to Bugenhagen's laborary in Cosmo Canyon after buying needed
supplies.
Event 29: There is Hope
Talk to Bugenhagen about what Sephiroth and Meteor. Bugenhagen explains that you should
return to the Ancient City. You can now store all of the Huge Materia you've gotten in
his lab. Get near the blue Huge Materia, and if you have acquired both the Bahamut and
Neo Bahamut summon Materia, you will receive Bahamut Zero summon Materia.
These Huge Materia allow you to get Master Command, Master Magic, and Master Summon
Materia later in the game. Whenever you've gotten all of a certain type of Materia,
return here and touch one of the Huge Materia and it will give you the Master Materia.
For instance, if you've gotten every summon Materia in the game, touch the Master
Summon Huge Materia and you will get the Master Summon Materia orb, which gives you
every single summon in the game on one Materia.
Go back on the Highwind and head back to the Ancient City on the north continent. Take
the left path and Bugenhagen will tell you about the White Materia and how it is said
to be a key. He gives you a clue that sunlight can't reach it, so it is most likely is
underground somewhere.
Launch the submarine from the harbor and head near the south, but watch out for Emerald
Weapon, which is one of the Weapons swimming around down here. This is a very hard boss
and you won't be able to take it out now. Head north until you find an underwater cave.
Inside it you will find the Key of the Ancients on the floor.
Also, while you're here, participate in a small side quest involving Vincent. Guide the
ship along the west wall to the south until you find another opening. Head through there,
take the narrow passage and a left into an underwater cave. Surface when you hit the
big tunnel type area and you'll be near a waterfall. Land the sub here, and make sure
Vincent is in the party. When you enter, Vincent will find Lucretia and you'll learn a
great deal more about Vincent's past and Sephiroth.
When ready, bring the Key of the Ancients back to Bugenhagen who is waiting patiently
at the Ancient City. When he puts the kye into the center, you will find that Aeris was
praying for Holy, which is an essence that would allow Meteor to be stopped. However,
Sephiroth's power is keeping Holy from being summoned, so you must destroy Sephiroth,
or the planet will surely be destroyed by Meteor soon.
Event 30: Back to Midgar
Items:
Midgar System - Elixir x2, Megalixir, STarlight Phone, Aegeis Armlet, Max Ray
Midgar Tunnels - Power Source, Guard Source, Mind Source, Magic Source, W-Item Materia
Shinra Headquarters - Pile Banger, Master Fist, Glow Lance, HP Shout Materia
Sister Ray - Elixir, Mystile, Missing Score
As you leave the area, Cait Sith tells you that Junon cannon has been attached to Midgar
and that they are planning on shooting it at Sephiroth to stop Meteor. You will find
out that Cait Sith is being controlled by Reeve at the Shinra Headquarters. As the team
goes toward the Highwind, the earth will shatter and a you will see that a Weapon is on
the move toward Midgar. Fly back to Midgar and land the Highwind. Wait for the Weapon
to arrive and you must fight it.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Diamond Weapon
-Unleash Ultima/Bahamut Zero
-Haste helps a lot
-Make sure to have someone dedicated to healing
-Beware of its special attack
Now is the time to unleash your best summons and Magic. Ultima, Comet,
Bahamut Zero, and Neo Bahamut all work wornders on Diamond Weapon. Don't
attempt to use physicaly attacks however, because Diamond Weapon is very
resistant to them. Diamond Weapon also has a special attack, its Diamond
Flash. This is an attack that it will take several turns to prepare for,
but when it uses it it will do around 2500 damage to the entire party.
Make sure you immediately Cure afterward. Diamond Weapon will eventually
go down if you keep pelting it with your best Magic.
******************************************************
After the battle, Diamond Weapon is studdered by your attack. The Sister Ray, the huge
gun that is about to be fired, is ready. Diamond Weapon fires several shots all over
Midgar, and Rufus is killed in the Shinra presidental office. As the Sister Ray is used,
it cuts through Weapon, destroying it, and also opens up the crater where Sephiroth is.
Hop on the Highwind again, as as you move north you will see that crater has been
opened and you can head for Sephiroth. Cait Sith tells you that the Sister Ray is
overloading because Shinra attempts to fire another shot at the crater. He says that
Hojo is attempting to fire it again to destroy Weapon, but it will likely malfunction
if it is fired again. So your objective is to head into Midgar and stop Hojo.
When you're ready, head to Midgar and as you are over it, you are able to chose your
party before you descend. When you are ready, your team will parachute down into
Midgar in another awesome scene. Follow Cait Sith into the alleys where the party is.
You are now able to form a group here. If you want to get Barret's ultimate weapon,
Missing Score, you have to have him in your party here.
When ready, collect the items at the end of the ramp and go to the ladder near the
platform. As you enter the next area of ladders and chutes, there are many items around
and some are tough to get to, but a lot of these items are some of the best in the game
so make sure to get them. When ready, go up the stairs to the save point. Save here and
head into the next area.
Here you will get into the Midgar tunnel system, that connects to the Sister Ray. There
are two paths, a north and south path. The Sister Ray lies to the north, but there are
many items and a cool part of the story to the south. After you've gotten the treasures
from the south, head to the north area. Save at the save point here, and proceed down
the hall and you'll meet up with the Turks yet again, and this time all three of them
are together. You can either fight them or not, but I definiately recommend you do
because they each have an awesome item you can steal.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Rude, Reno, Elena
-Steal from each of them for a special item
-Take out Elena first, and Rude next
-Stealing from Rude nets you a Ziedrich
-Stealing from Reno nets you a Tough Ring
-Stealing from Elana nets you a Minerva Band
Elena uses Confusion attacks on the party so try to take her out
first. Use your most powerful summons for this battle. After you
take out Elena, concentrate on Rude because he uses normal attacks,
and he can get critical attacks that do up to 3000 damage. Reno
uses the same sort of Lightning magic he did before and won't pose
a very big threat. Haste and Barrier also help in this battle.
******************************************************
After you win, return to the save point and save yet again, then head north again.
I recommend that you take the second left here so you can head into the Shinra
Headquarters and get Cait Sith's ultimate weapon in the floor 54 locker. You can also
get the Glow Lance from a door that was previously locked here, as well as visit the
gift shop. When you're ready, go back into the tunnels and take that first left turn,
which takes you to an outdoor area near the base of the Sister Ray, where you will find
Scarlet and Heidegger, who leave you with another boss to fight.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Proud Clod
-Two parts, armor and body
-Take out the armor first
-He casts Reflect on your characters
-Receive Ragnarok for winning
This is actually a very easy boss. Take out the armor first so you
can do more damage to the body after it's gone. Its guns can do about
1000 damage to a single character and the Beam Cannon can do 1000 to
everyone, but that shouldn't be enough to keep you down. Most every
type of magic in addition to physical attacks and limit breaks work
well here, and you can cast DeBarrier on the party members that have
the Reflect spell cast upon them so you can heal them.
******************************************************
Head onward and you will find flights of stairs leading up to the Sister Ray controls.
If you have Barret in your party here, there will be a chest on the stairs for him that
contains his ultimate weapon, Missing Score.
At the top, you will find Hojo overloading the Sister Ray and planning to fire it very
soon. You will learn that his son is Sephiroth, and he intends to fire the cannon as a
way of feeding power to him. You will also learn that he has injected himself with the
Jenova cells, and he will fight you.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Hojo
First Form:
This is his easiest form. Use your normal attacks and leave his
friends alone, because they just come back if you kill them. Normal
attacks should dispatch Hojo in no time.
Second Form:
Make sure to get rid of his right arm and quickly because it has the
strongest attacks. Even though it can regenerate it should be taken
out for this reason. Use Ultima and Comet Magic on him, as well as
your best summons.
Third Form:
Hojo's hardest form, he is very fast and uses a lot of status ailments
to hurt the party. Make sure to have spells or items ready to use on
characters that have been inflicted with the status changes. Again,
Ultima/Comet and Bahamut Zero/Knights of the Round/Neo Bahamut work
wonders.
******************************************************
After you've defeated Hojo, Shinra will basically be destroyed and you can take out
Sephiroth. You will board the Highwind again. Cloud will explain to the party who he
really is and what his past was, and tell them why he wants to defeat Sephiroth.
Cloud will say that since there are 7 days left till Meteor hits the planet that each
member of the party should take a break and discover what they are fighting for. You
will see a scene with Cloud and Tifa sitting near the airship, and you will wait until
it's time to leave. Everyone will return and state their reasons for fighting.
Insert Disc 3.
---Disc 3---
Event 31: Side Quests
There are many things to do before you face Sephiroth. Go to the eastern continent and
you will find that the Ultimate Weapon has made a nest out of a mountain north of Junon
where he is holding Cloud's Ultimate sword. You have to fight him a number of times.
If you win the first battle, the Ultimate Weapon will fly off. Find him and ram the
Highwind into him again and again, until he tumbles down and you get Cloud's Ultimate
Weapon.
You can go back to the underground waterfall and get the new items. There is an
extremely difficult boss down here that you can fight, Emerald Weapon. This is a very
hard battle. He will give you a secret item if you win. You can go to the Golden Saucer
and beat the Red Scorpion boss (Ruby Weapon) that's moving around in the sand down
below. He is extremely hard as well. If you beat him he will give you the Desert Rose.
You can also collect everyone's ultimate limit breaks. Don't take on the two weapons if
you don't have them all, because they are really important. Some are harder to get than
others. If you need to know where they are, check the Limit Breaks section.
There are four special caves located around the world that have very nice Materia in
them. The first is located on a small penninsula near Wutai. You must have a Green
Chocobo, Black Chocobo, or Gold Chocobo to enter. You will receive a Mime Materia
inside, which is very useful for certain battles including the battles.
The next special cave is located north of North Corel village in a desert. You can only
enter this one with a Black or Gold Chocobo. Inside is a chest containing the HP<->MP
Materia.
The third cave is near Mideel, and you'll need a Black Chocobo, Blue Chocobo, or Gold
Chocobo to enter. Inside is a Quadra Magic Matera.
Also, if you manage to breed a Gold Chocobo, take it to the last special Materia cave,
which is an island in the northeast corner of the map that holds the best summon Materia
in the game, Knights of the Round.
There is a key you can find to enter Midgar again, near the Sector 5 Slums. To get this
key, first head to Midgar in Disc 2 after you've gotten Cloud in your party again, and
talk to the man right outside the door. He'll tell you that there is known to be a key
to enter the door. Then, head to Bone Village, and choose to dig for "good treasure".
Placing the workers, they should all point near a jagged piece of metal extruding the
ground near the entrance. It's right across from the door that is locked. Search here
and you'll get the key to Sector 5. There's really not much to do in Midgar, but you
can see Aeris' ghost if you enter the church. You can also get Tifa's Premium Heart at
vending machine.
You can also find the Crashed Gelnika ship under the ocean in an alcove west of the
reactor underwater. I recommend going here because some of the items here are awesome.
Some of the enemies down here are very hard. There is a save point near the beginning
so make sure to save and maybe gain a few levels before tackling the depths of the
ship. In the cargo bay area you will run into Reno and Rude depending on when you go
here. If you do this before the final battle with the Turks they will be here and you
will fight them. I definitely recommend coming here because there are a lot of very
good items down here.
Make sure you take out Ultimate Weapon in Disc 3. It's a flying Weapon that starts
out hovering over a round area of water near Junon. Engage it there and you'll have
to fight it. It really isn't a very hard fight, but you will have to fight it a few
times because it keeps flying away. After you've knocked off enough hit points the
first time, it will fly toward Nibleheim, Midgar, or Cosmo Canyon. Keep following
it and engaging it until it goes to Cosmo Canyon, where the last fight will take
place. After you defeat it there you will receive Ultimate Weapon, Cloud's best
sword. It will also open the way to the Ancient Forest.
You can also head to the Ancient Forest just to the east of Cosmo Canyon if you've
defeated Ultima Weapon or gotten a Gold Chocobo. When you kill the Ultimate Weapon it
with create a huge crater in the ground which allows you to enter. It's a unique
dungeon type area in which you have to use various plants and insects to get through.
Ancient Forest Items:
Spring Gun Clip, Supershot ST, Typhoon Materia, Apocalypse, Eliixer
Some of the puzzles here are kind of difficult but it's more fun to figure out
yourself. At the end of the cave is the Typhoon summon Materia. One thing that is
kind of pointless is the fact that the Apocalypse sword for Cloud is here as well
because you probably already have his Ultimate Weapon. :)
Turtle's Paradise Flyer Locations:
1) Sector 5 Slum, in a house to the east, in a boy's room
2) In the Shinra Headquarters at the back of the lobby
3) Ghost Hotel at the Gold Saucer, near the item shop
4) Tiger Lily Arms Shop in Cosmo Canyon near the owner
5) Cosmo Canyon Inn
6) Near Turtle's Paradise in Yuffie's basement near the trap room
Winning the Turtle Paradise contest nets you a Power Source, Guard Source, Magic
Source, Mind Source, Speed Source, Luck Source, and Megalixer if you get all the
flyers and talk to the owner of Turtle's Paradise in Wutai.
Also you can find a very cool sequence having to do with the game's story if you
go back to the Nibelheim Shinra mansion again. Go down through the spirialing
stairs near where you found Vincent and saw Sephiroth, and into the library. You
will find out exactly what happened to Zack and it explains how Cloud ended up
in Midgar with Zack's sword and clothing.
If you got the Leviathan Scales from the Shinra's Underwater Reactor, you can get
through the Wutai Fire Cave in the side of Da-chao. The fires here used to block
your way, but if you have the Leviathan Scales you can pass. Here you will find
the Oritsuru weapon for Yuffie as well as a Steal as Well Materia.
If you want to shell out 300,000 Gil you can buy the Costa Del Sol Shinra vacation
home. However, all you can really do here is rest for free and get some minor items
in the basement.
Also make sure you got the Master Materia from Cosmo Canyon observatory if you've
collected all of a certain type of Materia. These Materia are totally powerful and
will make the end of the game a hell of a lot easier.
If you want, head down into the pit and you will fight Sephiroth and get the ending
to the game. It's a long way through the left path but the right path is really short
and easy. I recommend taking the left path because there are more items to get.
Just battle your way down all of the cliffs. There are many very nice items here, so
make sure you look around a bit, as they can be helpful for the final battle against
Sephiroth. Power up your characters in the swamps, cause they are fairly easy and you
get good experience for them. As you enter one area in the crater, your team will
split into two different groups. Make sure you send your best characters down with
Cloud because only they will be able to rejoin him.
When you get to the very bottom of the cave, talk to your characters and they'll hand
you items they found down those paths. Also, if you got the Save Crystal from the first
chest in the pit, put that down here and save. As you make your way to the very center
you will have to fight Jenova again.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Jenova-Synthesis
-It has three parts so have attacks that do damage to all
-Watch for the countdown Ultima Attack
This is perhaps the easiest Jenova in the game. It's really not too
hard if all of your characters have powerful attacks that hit all
enemies, which they shoudl at this point. Attacks like Slash-All and
Bahahmut Zero summon do wonders here. However, it does have a powerful
attack, Ultima, which causes a lot of damage to the entire party, and
there will be a countdown for it, but it shouldn't stop you too long
from pummeling it.
******************************************************
After defeating Jenova again, the team enters into the core of the crater where they
find Sephiorth. You'll get to choose whether to switch your party between 1, 2, or 3
different groups. Make sure the parties are balanced enough, and yet your first group
is still the most powerful. Doing this will ensure that your best team goes up against
Sephiorth, and your second group will still be strong. You will now go into the final
battle against Sephiorth.
When you engage Sephiroth, you finally getto hear "One Winged Angel", the latin end
boss theme.
******************************************************
Boss Strategy - Sephiroth
Bizarro-Sephiroth:
Sephiroth is composed of five different parts. The Head, Torso, Left
Magic, Right Magic, and Core. The Head, Left Magic, and Right Magic
have very little hit points but Sephiroth can regenerate them infinite
times in battle. If you destroy the Torso however, it goes down. The
Core is what heals the Torso. The Core is very powerful and unless the
Left Magic and Right Magic are destroyed, it can't be hurt at all. So
make sure you do that and take out the Core, then go for the Torso.
He uses a barage of powerful attacks that hit the entire party. He also
uses a lot of negative status ailments on the party (confusion, poison,
darkness). If you have some characters eqiupped with Restore Materia it
will help a lot. Cloud's Omnislash Limit Break and Knights of the Round
Summon are your best bet in this fight.
If you picked to have two teams or three teams, you'll have to divide
the fight into the different parties. It's a good idea to switch the
teams often because each time they come back into the fight, they have
full hit points and magic points, even if they got drained earlier in
the fight. However, one team is probably the easiest way to win this
battle. After you defeat Bizarro-Sephiroth you'll have to fight his
second form, Safer Sephiroth.
Safer Sephiroth:
This is going to be a tough fight if your characters are of low levels.
Hasting all your characters will help greatly in this fight. He has a
variety of very strong attacks.
-Pale Horse: This attack does negative status ailments in addition to
some damage to a single character.
-Shadow Flare: Hits a single character for about 6500 damage.
-Deen: An attack that does aboug 1500 damage to a single character.
-Super Nova: This is Sephiroth's summon. It will do a large amount
of damage (4000-5000) to all characters, so make sure you follow it up
with a Megalixir or a barrage of Cure 3 spells.
Make healing your top priority, then attack. Spells like Ultima, Comet 2,
and your best summons (Knights of the Round, Bahamut Zero, Neo Bahamut)
should take care of him. If Cloud gets his Omnislash Limit Break in this
battle it also does about the same as a Knights of the Round.
******************************************************
After you defeat the actual Sephiroth, Cloud and Sephiroth will have a one on one
showdown. You will automatically be in limit break status so just unleash Omnislash
and he's done for. It's kind of a story battle. The real end fight was against the
first version of Sephiroth.
**************
Limit Breaks:
**************
There are four levels of limit breaks, and most characters have 2 limit breaks a level,
but all of them have 1 4th level limit break. Learning the level 4 limit breaks are more
difficult. You have to first learn all of the limit breaks on that character, and then
you must have the limit break item that teaches you the attack. After you find them, you
must use the correct manual on each character, and set his limit break to level 4. Here
is where the manuals are found:
Cloud (Omnislash):
Back at the Gold Saucer, win 32000 battle points in a single visit and then buy
the item.
Barrett (Catastrophe)
After the train ride in Disc 2, there is a lady in a hat in a building in the
North Corel, she will give it to you.
Aeris (Great Gospel):
Speak to the sleeping man to the east of Junon when you've fought a number of
battles in which the last two digits of the number are the same number, and
he'll give you a piece of Mythril that you can exchange for Aeris' Great
Gospel Limit Break in the box.
Tifa (Final Heaven):
You must play the song on Tifa's Piano (See event 16)
Red XIII (Cosmo Memory):
In Sephiroth's house is a safe, use the combo to unlock it. (See event 16)
Yuffie (All Creation):
After you beat her mini-quest, go back to Wutai. Go to the Pagoda and defeat
Godo. You will get it now.
Vincent (Chaos):
Either the sub or a Blue, Black, or Gold Chocobo is needed. Go to the waterfall
in the middle of the western continent. Vincent must be with you. You have to enter
the left side of the waterfall.
(Note: You must visit the waterfall twice. Once on disc 2, and once on disc 3)
Cid (Highwind):
Use the sub and search for the plane wreck where you found the Hades Materia, on
the southpart of the map. The sunken plane is between the easter and western
continents. Inside the plane is a chest holding it.
Each character has his or her own Ultimate Weapon. These weapons are very powerful,
many times better than the second best weapons, and most of them also have special
abilities or characteristics when equipped.
Location: Before you start the final assault on Sephiroth in disc 3, go to the
world map and kill the wandering Dragon, Ultima Weapon.
Power up: This Weapon's damage in dependent on Cloud's HP level. The more HPs he
has, the more damage it does.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barrett: Missing Score
Location: In your quest to stop the Mako overload at Midgar at the end of Disc 2
there is a chest holding the Missing Score on the staircase just before you reach
Hojo. Barrett has to be amember of your party to find this weapon.
Power up: Attach Materia to this weapon. Damage is dictated by the AP of that
Materia.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tifa: Premium Heart
Location: In Disc 2 or 3 go to Midgar City, head to Wall Market and examine the
computer in the room marked "item"
Power up: Every time she has a Limit Break, but misses with at least 1 spinning
wheel, the Premium Heart powers up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aeris: Princess Guard
Location: While engaged in the moving clock game, obtain it from the Ancient's
Temple.
Power up: This is only available for a short time, so I can't find how to power
it up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red XIII: Limited Moon
Location: In Disc 2, after the monster attacks Midgar, visit Bugenhagen and he
will give it to you.
Power up: Like Cloud's weapon, but the MPs matter. So if you have high MPs, it
will do high damage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuffie: Conformer
Location: In Disc 2 or 3, check around the wrecked plane.
Power up: Damage depends on the experience points of an enemy. If it is high, it
powers up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cait Sith: Marvelous Cheer
Location: In Disc 2, during the raid on Midgar, search the lockers on the 64th
floor of the Shinra building.
Power up: It is the same as the Limited Moon that Red XIII gets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vincent: Death Penalty
Location: When you get his Limit Break manual, you also get his Death Penalty.
Power up: The number of death blows he has delivered determines the weapon's
damage. So, how many death blows in the past makes this weapon more powerful.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cid: Venus Gospel
Location: In Disc 1 or 2, the man who gave Cloud a sword in Disc 1 will stand
outside a house by the rocket pad. Talk to him 3 times. This can only be done
after the rocket has been destroyed.
Power up: Same as Cait Sith's and Red XIII's weapons.

The game contains hundreds of Materia, but you're left with choices of
how to pair your Materia up late in the game. I've listed some of the
best Materia combinations I've come up with here.
Added Effect + Poison (Weapon)
This combination is valuable because each time you hit a creature, you
have a chance to poison it. This even works on some bosses and can do a
pretty hefty amount of damage in the long run.
Added Effect + Time (Weapon)
Another similar combination that has a chance of slowing or stopping the
creature you attacked.
Added Effect + Destruct (Weapon)
When you have this combination in a weapon, you have a chance of killing
your enemy on the spot in a single hit.
Megal-All + Steal
A useful combination that lets you steal from all enemies at once.
Counter + Mime
This is another very powerful one that allows you to Mimic what the last
party member did after you've been attacked. It's a bit unpredictable and
sometimes not helpful, but when you're able to counter attack using a
Knights of the Round summon, it's very useful.
Double Cut + Slash-All
A very powerful combination that allows you to not only attack 4 times
when the Double Cut Materia is powered up, but allows you to attack many
targets, and you can often finish a fight of multiple enemies off in one
character's turn.
Sneak Attack + Knights of the Round
At the beginning of each battle you have a chance of pre-emptively casting
Knights of the Round.
W-Summon + Knights of the Round
The only way in the game you can summon Knights of the Round two times in
a row with the same character. Even more powerful is if characters that
attack next Mime it, so you can do literally millions of damage in a very
short period of time.
Quad Magic + Most Summon Materia
This allows you to do four consecutive summon spells. However, this does
not work with Knights of the Round, but you can W-Summon that instead.
Quad Magic + Most Spells
Another similar that allows you cast any spell four times in a row.
Final Attack + Revive
One of the most valuable combinations in the game. You'll certainly need
this combo if you attempt to go after Emerald Weapon and Ruby Weapon. If
you have this combination equipped, each time that character dies he will
be instantly healed.
Final Attack + Phoenix Summon
Another one similar to Final Attack + Revive, but all party members come
back from the dead because of what Phoenix Summon does. Also, it damages
the enemy as well.
Out of all of the Materia in FF7, the Red Materia is the most powerful for your
offense. Here is a quick rundown of where all of the summon materia is.
Chocobo and Mog - Disc 1 (Wind Elemental)
Just visit the Chocobo farm and talk to the fenced in Chocobo.
Shiva - Disc 1 (Ice Elemental)
After you have successfully given CPR to Pricila in Junon Town, she will give
you this if you go up
to her house and talk to her.
Ifrit - Disc 1 (Fire Elemental)
On the Shinra boat, beat Jenova Birth.
Titan - Disc 1 (Earth Elemental)
There is a village in the woods named Gongaga that is before Cosmo Canyon. Wait
for the Turksto leave and search the decrepit machinery.
Ramuh - Disc 1 (Lightning Elemental)
In the Gold Saucer, check the alcove in the Chocobo jockey's room.
Odin - Disc 1 (Strength Elemental)

In the endless forest continent go north, and you will find this floating on the
second screen as you enter the forest.
Bahamut - Disc 1 (Fire/Flare Elemental)
After you meet Sephiroth you will battle a dragon in a temple. Beat the dragon
and wait for the temple to shake.
Alexander - Disc 2 (Holy Elemental)

wasteland. Go east through snow and find a cave. It's in there.

This is lying on a path that leads to the first barrier on the crater inside the
frozen mountain.
Phoenix - Disc 2 (Fire/Life Elemental)
Just win the mini-battle at Condor Fort. You will get this after the egg
hatches.

the brokenhelicopter inside the sunken airplane.

Materia and Neo Bahamut, and Bahamut. Touch the blue Huge Materia in the galaxy
holodeck and you get it.
Knights of the Round Table - Disc 2-3 (???)
This is very difficult to reach, since you need to breed a Gold Chocobo. (See
Part 5) Once you have it, use it to visit a strange island towards the northeast
corner of the map. Find the cave and you have found the Materia.
Master Summon - Disc 3
After you have collected all of the Summon Materia, go to the galaxy holodeck
and touch the red Huge Materia.

To learn all of the enemy skills, a person must first be equipped with
an Enemy Skill Materia. There are 24 Enemy Skills in all, and each takes
up a star in the materia menu. If that spell hits you in battle; even if it
misses you or kills you, you will gain the Enemy Skill. However, if your
party dies, you do not learn that Enemy Skill. Enemy Skills that are casted
upon teammates will not give that person the Enemy Skill, because they
must have that spell casted on them by monsters only. I have found many
Enemy Skills to be useful, especially some that use a low amount of MP
to do a high amount of damage.

To breed a Gold Chocobo you need to breed a Black and Yellow Chocobo. To get the black
Chocobo: If you wait awhile you should be able to breed two yellow Chocobos again, and
givethe Carob Nut. Try to get the blue one. If you do, make sure it is the opposite sex
than yourgreen Chocobo. Let them rest. Before you breed them again you must feed them
the Sylkis green that costs 5000 Gil for the Sage. Go feed both the green and blue
Chocobos ten of these each. Now you must race them at the Gold Saucer until they become
Class A Chocobos. Breed them using a Carob Nut, and you should get a black one. To get
the Gold Chocobo, you have to breed the Yellow one with the Black one and give them the
Carob Nut.
-Make sure to have Final Attack/Revive Materia Combo
-Healing is priority
-Phoenix Summon is invaluable
-Underwater Materia almost neccesary
Find Emerald Weapon along the ocean floor. It roams around in the area
and can only be engaged on the submarine.
Your characters will probably definitely have to be level 99 to have a
good chance at defeating it. He has quite the barrage of attacks, which
includes a normal attack that does about 6500 damage, four seperate
lazer attacks that can do about 3500 damage each, another four lazers
that can drain about 350 magic points from a single character, and a
special attack that does 9999 damage to each character.
Because of this you'll definately have to have the Underwater Materia
from the Kalm Traveler. If you don't have this Materia, it's very hard
to win the fight because you have a 20 minute time limit. This seems
like a lot of time, but when you are casting long summon spells and
taking attacks it really isn't that long. Also, the Materia has to be
equipped on a character. You'll also need as many Master Materias as
possible, especially Master Magic and Master Summon. Using W-Summon
with Knights of the Round can do over 150,000 damage each time. Also,
if you have the other characters use Mime you can do keep doing this
until you need to heal. Final Attack/Revive Materia combination is
neccesary to keep you alive from the special attack that does 9999 to
all as well. Final Attack/Phoenix will also work well. You might need
to also expend some Elixers, Megalixers, and Turbo Ethers because of
the strong attacks and MP drain attacks. Emerald Weapon has 1,000,000
hit points.
Winning this battle nets you an Earth Harp, which you can bring to the
Kalm Traveler for a Master Magic, Master Summon, and Master Command
Materia.
******************************************************
-Hades Summon absolutely neccesary
-Final Attack/Revive or Final Attack/Phoenix also important
-Can only be hurt when its claws are buried in the sand
-Uses powerful barrage of attacks including Ultima
Ruby Weapon is swimming around in the sand surrounding the Golden
Saucer. You'll have to engage it by flying head on with the airship.
You can't hurt Ruby Weapon when its hands are above the sand, because
its torso will be invulnerable at this time. If you attack when the
arms are above the sand, he'll counterattack with a quicksand attack
that kills a member of the party in one fell swoop. You'll want to
use your most powerful summons here as well, including using the very
valuable Hades/Quad Magic here so it gets inflicted with many status
ailments. He has 1,000,000 hit points just like Emerald Weapon, so it
takes quite a lot of chipping away to kill him as well. One thing you
don't want to do here is summon Knights of the Round because he'll
counterattack with Ultima.
For defeating Ruby Weapon, you'll receive a Desert Rose, which you can
bring to the Kalm Traveler to get a Gold Chocobo.
