Final Fantasy VII is now approaching two decades old. 'Why am I investing
hundreds of hours into a walkthrough for a game that is nearly 20 years old',
I find myself asking, and the answer is... I don't entirely know. All I know
is that I've never felt for a game the way I have felt for Final Fantasy VII.
In fact, be it game, book, film, TV series; nothing has ever compelled or
intrigued, scratch that, nothing has ever left me thinking �how in the flying
funk did they ever come up with this???� Welcome to the impossibly brilliant,
expertly paced, masterfully executed nostalgic global phenomenon that is FF7.
'And given the fact that the game is getting a HD upscaled version
brought out to the PS4 *with trophies* this winter (2015), I
thought to myself �hey, why not scratch that age old itch and write
the most comprehensive, detailed walkthrough I am capable of
writing?� Why not indeed....'
I may be over selling the game a little; for those who are completely new to
the game I'm not going to beat around the bush. The graphics are outdated;
the battle system is (by today's standards) way too easy; and the Japanese to
English translation is some-what flawed. 'So why should I invest time into
the game then', you may be asking? Because, if one was to make a 'Games to
play before you die list', then FF7 would have to be at the top of every
list. �BUT WHY??� I hear you screaming. Because... never before or
since has a story-plot twist literally blown my mind to the point where even
now, having played the game for around the 20th time, I am still learning
elements of the story that are completely new to me; I am still marvelling at
sub-contextual dialogue that I'd previously missed and/or not fully
understood before; and I am still finding more of the hundreds upon hundreds
of hidden secrets that the game harvests. Seasoned player or not, one will
still be able to appreciate FF7 for what it naturally is - a humorous and
sometimes promiscuous but fascinatingly deep and compelling, well-paced
story; an immensely huge and rewarding collectible system; a diverse and
balanced battle system with engrossing tactics and strategies; beautifully
pre-rendered background graphics that give the game a certain 'magical' feel;
and the most awesome midi soundtrack that you will most likely ever hear in a
game! And remember folks - be like Jesus. Save often!
'Whether you're playing the game for the first time ever, you've
played it a few times as a kid but didn't really get into it
properly, or you're a FF7 veteran and (like me) you're overjoyed at
the prospect of having actual Playstation trophies for the game, I
can guarantee this: Using this guide you *will* experience the game
to its absolute fullest, and regardless of how much you think you
know about the game, you *will* learn something that you hadn't
previously. This has been my endeavour.'

Dear reader: During the development of this guide, I came about some great
tools that have been developed solely for the purpose of
understanding Final Fantasy VII's scripting and mechanics. So,
the majority of the 'factual' data contained within this guide
can be trusted, as it has been obtained *from source*.
Of course, I didn't come across these tools until quite soon
into the guide, and there may still be a few grey-areas that
I've missed. If you notice something that doesn't quite add-up
to your own knowledge and understanding of the game, the please
feel free to get in touch with me and I would be more than happy
to look into the games mechanics - [email protected]
Acknowledgements for the tools that I have been using can be
found in section J - Special Thanks.

The PS4 release and the Steam release have varying Trophy/Achievement lists.
The Steam version has an Achievement list that really doesn't require a
'specialised' guide that differs from any other guide out there, as every
single Achievement is straight forward and easy enough to figure out WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF MATERIA OVERLORD! I have made the relevant notifications for
that achievement throughout the guide.
The PS4 version on the other hand has 'specific' requirements, and without a
guide you could find yourself re-playing the game to clean up on missed
Trophies.
This guide will walk you through the PS4 version's Trophy list, assuring that
you won't miss a single one!

I have abbreviated each Element as follows:
Fire = FRE | Gravity = GRV
Ice = ICE | Water = WTR
Lightning = LHT | Wind = WND
Earth = ERT | Holy = HLY
Poison = PSN | Restorative = RES
If you are unfamiliar with the Restorative Element then please visit section
E.05 for more details on obscure Elements, or use QSI Link [Restorative].
Quick Searching - Don't forget to make use of Control + F!!! If you see a
comment that suggests for you to visit section E.01 (for
example), when copying E.01 into the search bar be sure to
manually add the braces {} around E.01 yourself. This way
you'll jump straight to the desired section, as opposed to
filtering through all the references to section E.01 that
are mentioned throughout the walkthrough. Note that the
braces are the keys above [], not the brackets above 9 & 0.
______________________________________________________________________________
!!!!!!!!!! I have now added what I call a 'Quick-Search Index Link' system (or
! ! QSI Link). You can now type something into the search field such as
! QUICK ! Omnislash, Confusion, or Zeio Nut (for example), then surround the
! SEARCH ! criteria with braces {} (not the () brackets). You will then jump
! INDEX ! directly to that relevant section within the guide! Whenever you
! LINKS ! see 'QSI [link]' you'll know that you are looking at a 'Quick-
! ! Search Index Link' reference. Try typing the word Link into the
!!!!!!!!!! search field surrounded by {} to jump straight to the Index.

] SIDE NOTES [
] [
] You'll be seeing a lot of these side notes throughout this walkthrough. [
] If you are new to the game then be sure to take the time to read through [
] these notes. If however you are a seasoned player and you think you know [
] all there is to know about the game, then I would still advise you to skim [
] through them, as some of the contents are strategy based, and future [
] comments such as 'as previously mentioned' would not make a great deal of [
] sense otherwise. [

TIPS:
- Make the most of the quick-search feature! This walkthrough is immensely
huge, and utilising Control + F will save you a lot of time and headaches.
I have tentatively set-up a feature that allows for effective use of quick-
searching, see the index for more info.
- Save often. There is no auto-save feature, so forgetting to make use of a
save point could be costly. I also recommend making multiple save files.
- Your kills count towards Leveling up your Limit Breaks! Try to bear that
in mind when choosing which player to be the main attacker.
- Press Select whilst in the field to bring up the helpful arrow indicators.
- Arranging your Items by 'Type' in the Item Menu is always a good idea.
- You can change the speed of the battle in the 'Config' menu. You can also
fiddle with the colour of the window, just don't touch the button config.
- When swapping your characters over, be sure to also swap their current
Armour and Accessory over too.
- You can use the 'Exchange' tab in the Materia menu to arrange your Materia
around with characters that aren't currently in your party.
- Whilst in the PHS menu you can press confirm twice on a character to see
what current equipment they have on them, without having to put them in
your party first.
These tips are just scratching the surface, I've included within the
walkthrough all of the useful things that you will need to know about the
game.

! SPECIAL THANKS !
! !
! While I have made sure to credit every source as appropriate in the final !
! section of this guide, I have also made sure to mention various sources !
! throughout the walkthrough. !
! !
! I would like to say now that a huge shout out goes to Absolute Steve for !
! the absolute power-house of information contained within his walkthrough/ !
! FAQ, and also MGSB for his excellent Training/Random Encounter FAQ. NTIFC1 !
! has been a great help by answering many questions regarding the inner !
! mechanics of the game, although TFergusson probably deserves the most !

! Lastly, I'd like to send my most heartfelt thank you out to the developers !
! of the game - Square (Soft), Hironobu Sakaguchi, Yoshinori Kitase, !
! Kazushige Nojima, Nobuo Uematsu and the rest of the Development Team. !
! Although the final product was rather hurried and riddled with !

--Items - Potion x 2
--Extra - Iron Bangle (recruit equipment)
After watching the intro FMV you'll eventually have control of your blond,
spiky haired character. First things first, press select to bring up the
'Finger Indicator' above his head, and more importantly the 'Red Indicator'
which marks the entry/exit point on any screen. This will be particularly
useful to any newcomers to the game.
Lastly, go into the main menu (with Triangle) then goto Config. Here you can
change the window colour if you like, amongst other things. Just don't change
the button configuration, as it'll make things really confusing later on (PS4
players won't be able to change the controls, and Steam/PC users can change
the controls how they wish).
Change the ATB to wait, move the Battle Speed bar 4/5's to the left (to
increase the speed), leave Battle Message as is, move field message 2/3's to
the left and finally change the Magic Order to No.4: Attack, Restore,
Indirect. These are just my recommended settings, you can fiddle with these
later on if you like.
NOTE - We will be bringing the battle speed down eventually, I've sped it up
just for now to make for a smoother gaming experience.
There's nothing left to do in the menus, so back out then run over to the
first unconscious soldier that you see to search him for a [POTION]. Then
search him again for a second [POTION] (The cancel button is to run by the
way).
Run towards the exit to engage in our first battle encounter - 2 x MPs. Press
SELECT during battle to make the status bar appear; this will help for later
on. If you like, you can also make a 'target' icon appear over the enemies
with R2. As I mentioned earlier, just use Ex-SOLDIER's basic attacks to kill
these foes, unless of course you're curious to see what his Bolt/Ice attacks
looks like, in which case fire away! Once the battle is done, you may be
rewarded with a Potion from one of the enemies.
NOTES - Newcomers to the game, I know what you're thinking, and trust me, the
battle system does get better. It'll eventually develop into one of
the most intricate and ingeniously thought out battle systems that
you'll ever play, you'll just have to put up with the relatively
boring and comparatively simple 'introductory' system for now. It's
the same as most old-skool turn-based RPGs, really; It'll break you
in bit-by-bit, piece-by-piece.
- PS4 players will just have unlocked the First Blood Trophy for
winning their first battle.
Once escaping to the second screen, you'll have some dialogue with your
comrades, then you'll be able to name your characters [CLOUD] and [BARRET].
Once you regain control of Cloud, consider tuning down the field message
setting if it's too quick for you, you really are going to want to follow the
story in this game (as opposed to flashing through the dialogue boxes as
quickly as possible). You'll be missing out hugely otherwise!
Follow your posse to the next screen fighting enemies along the way to come
to a T-shaped bridge. Head north into the Reactor, and after some dialogue
with Barret he'll join your team.

Before continuing, consider which row you'd like to put Barret in.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - FRONT AND BACK ROWS [
] [
] Players in the front row dish out and receive more damage from physical [
] attacks while players in the back row will dish out and receive less [
] damage. All magic spells are completely unaffected by which row you're [
] in. You can change your characters row by selecting 'Order' in the menus. [
] Position a character to the left to place him in the front row, and right [
] for the back row. [
] [
] Note that you can change a characters row mid battle by selecting 'Change' [
] (left on the d-pad); after the battle they'll be back in their original [
] row. Also, by pressing right on the d-pad you can have your player defend [
] for one turn thus receiving 1/2 damage from physical attacks. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Now, most guides at this stage would recommend you to put Barret in the back
row and leave him there seeing as most of his weapons are long range, and
long range weapons will do the same damage from either row. This guide
however suggests considering a slightly different approach:
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - LIMIT BREAK TRAINING No.1 - The Basics [
] [
] There's too much to cover at this stage, so I won�t be going into great [
] depth just yet, just know that there are two ways in which we can level up [
] our Limits: [
] [
] 1. By using your basic Limit Break x amount of times. [
] [
] 2. By getting x amount of kills. [
] [
] Both run coherently; we don't have to complete 1 before we start 2. So, [
] what I'd like you to do at this stage is to leave Barret in the front row [
] as so that he actually takes more damage. This way his Limit gauge will [
] fill up more quickly in battle and he'll be able to use his Limits more [
] often. Also, I'd like you to let Barret and Barret only get all the kills; [
] Cloud is in your party for 90% of the game and his Limits will level up [
] eventually of their own accord. Don't even have Cloud defend, the only [
] times that I want you to use Cloud is to either weaken the enemy or when [
] his Limit gauge has filled up; use it straight away. [
] [
] This is a completely optional way of training of course, and if you start [
] to run low on potions then you can just fight normally, but I do enjoy [
] battling this way because it gives me something to focus on at this early [
] stage of the game. Once the whole magic system gets under-way however I [
] won�t put as much focus into the Limit Breaks, but for now I like to get [
] a head start on them. Try to get at least one use out of both Barret's and [
] Cloud's Limit Breaks before the up-coming Boss. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Now that we're finally prepared, talk to Biggs then Jessie, respectively.
Before following them east to the elevator shaft, head south to find a
treasure chest containing a [PHOENIX DOWN]. Note - These are to be used if
you get KO'd during a battle.
Now head into the elevator shaft and press then blue and purple arrow button
on the far wall to descend. After some dialogue with Barret you'll emerge on
top of a giant complex of sorts.
NOTE - When you do use your Limit Break for the first time, you'll unlock
the Breaking New Ground Trophy.
Follow the path down two giant sets of stairs into the next area (remember to
have pressed select to enable the red exit arrow/triangles). Note the green
arrow here, it indicates a climbable object, in this case a ladder. Talk to
Jessie then follow her down grabbing the [POTION] near to where she stops.
NOTE - Remember to talk to Jessie on your way out, you won�t be able to
progress otherwise.
Head down the remaining two sets of ladders, then save using the weird pink
and purple ? mark. Before heading down to the next screen (to the boss),
consider battling around here for a while getting some Barret only kills and
aim to progress only after you've used both Cloud's and Barret's Limit Break
once. Entirely optional, of course. The sweeper deals a nice amount of
damage. Don't just stand there taking hits though, keep getting a constant
flow of kills with Barret. Make sure not to run out of potions, keep at least
2.
NOTES - After the boss battle we will have a 10 minute time limit in which we
must escape the reactor. You should have plenty of time, but by all
means you can start using Cloud again during this time. The count
down timer will continually run down even whilst you're in the
menus, so if you do wish to completely pause the game then you can
do so by pressing START whilst in battle. Also, when a battle begins
you can keep the action button held down to auto-attack.
- During the boss battle you can let it annihilate Cloud and Barret
if you wish to unlock the Failure IS an Option Trophy. Just make
sure to have saved beforehand!!!!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - ESCAPING FROM BATTLES [
] [
] O.K., it is highly recommended that you don't get into the habit of [
] running away from every other battle you encounter, you won�t earn any EXP [
] etc. that way. Hold L1 + R1 to start running away, it may take 10 seconds [
] or so. Only consider doing this at certain times in the game i.e. because [
] you're on a time limit. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
When you're ready, save-up and potion-up then head south east to the
following screen. Grab the [RESTORE MATERIA] (we can't use this just yet..),
then attempt to interact with the valve. After hearing a (mysterious voice)
you'll be up against your first boss of the game! How I still love this sound
track!

* |_________________________________________| |______________|_____________| *
* | | | *
* The main thing to point out about this Boss | ---------Lv: | 12--------- | *
* is that it's weak against Lightning, so | ---------HP: | 800-------- | *
* have Cloud pummel him with his Bolt attack | --------EXP: | 100-------- | *
* while Barret deals normal, physical damage. | ---------AP: | 10--------- | *
* if your health drops below 100 then make | --------GIL: | 100-------- | *
* sure to heal. He only has one move you need | -------DROP: | Assault Gun | *
* to be wary of, and this is his Tail Laser | ----NULLIFY: | GRV-------- | *
* which he will only use as a counter attack | -----DOUBLE: | LHT-------- | *
* if his tail is raised in the air (some bad |____________________________| *
* translation here), which it will do after *
* four turns. *
* *
* Some would advise at that stage not to attack it until its tail has *
* lowered, however if you were to attack it once, whilst making sure that *
* your HP was above 100, then his counter will more than likely fill up *
* Cloud and Barret's Limit Breaks with one hit. Once its tail is down you *
* can unleash hell, it'll die fairly quickly after this. Your reward will be *
* a new weapon for Barret, the [ASSAULT GUN]. *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
YOU NOW HAVE 10 MINUTES TO ESCAPE THE REACTOR!
1.) Equip Barret's new weapon, the Assault Gun.
2.) Head back to the save point and make use of it.
3.) Head up two of the three sets of ladders then talk to Jessie.
*MAKE SURE TO DO THIS*.
4.) Make your way up the third set of ladders, out and up the two long
flights of stairs and into the elevator once again.
5.) Once out the elevator, talk to Jessie then Biggs, respectively.
You should now have roughly 6 - 7 Minutes left on the clock, possibly longer.
Depending on how many potions/time you have left I'd say battle it out until
about 2 minutes is left on the clock, getting some Barret only kills. It's
completely up to you. The next time we fight our HP/MP will be restored. Note
that it is absolutely fine to use up all of your potions at this stage.
When you're ready, head outside to the T-shaped bridge to finish the section.
You'll then view a short FMV.

After a few scripted events have played out, you'll have control of Cloud
again. Head up the stairs to the following screen to engage in some multiple
choice dialogue with the Flower Girl.

] SIDE NOTE - THE AFFECTION GAME [
] [
] The choices that you make throughout the majority of the first disk can [
] play a part in how certain characters feel about you. If you're new to the [
] game, then I suggest just playing it through naturally; it has absolutely [
] no effect on the story or the gameplay in any way shape or form. If you're [
] familiar with the game however, and you wish to manipulate the choices you [
] make in order to affect the outcome of the affection game, then cast your [
] eyes to the back of this guide under section E.01 (remember to use Control [
] + F to quick search). [

? If you are looking to complete the PS4 trophy list, then you must make ?

? trophy. Whenever you see (Best Bromance - choose option 1) then you'll ?
? know which dialogue option to choose to manipulate it in Barret's ?
? favour. If you are *not* playing this on the PS4 however, then you can ?
? completely ignore these 'Best Bromance' references, as this Trophy isn't ?

NOTE - Due to the simplicity of the Trophy list, you won�t see many of these
Trophy Notes floating about.
Once you've finished conversing (Best Bromance - choose option 2, then 1,
then buy a flower for 1 gil), follow the Flower Girl to the adjoining screen.
Head south, obtaining a [POTION] to the left along the way.
In the next screen you will have the choice between fighting or running from
3 sets of guards. I always choose to fight for the EXP (and more importantly
for the kills), but the choice is yours to make - make it quickly! Note that
the MPs here are exactly the same as the ones you fought inside the reactor.
Once you've battled/ran from the guards, a few animated events play out
followed by some dialogue, then you'll have control of Cloud again on a
train. Head south to the next screen.
You can talk to whomever you like here, when you're ready to continue talk to
Jessie who is at the front right of the screen. She'll give you a guided
virtual tour of Midgar. When you have control of Cloud again, talk to Jessie
once more (Best Bromance - choose option 2, �Looking forward to it�), then
talk to Barret. Next stop, Sector 7!

Once you've hopped off the train, make your way west. You'll head back
through to the eastern screen a little later on. In the next screen, head
north to save your game, and if you wish to see a long winded scene of the
overhead support tower then you can talk to kid that's standing by the save
point.
We can't go south, so head west. In the next screen talk to Barret to enter
the bar, we won�t be bothering to explore here just yet. Here you'll be able
to name a new character [TIFA], and if you bought a flower earlier you can
choose to give it to her, raising her affinity towards you (Best Bromance -
give the flower to Marlene instead). Try to leave and Barret will come
barging in, remarking that he wants to start the meeting. You can have a
drink with Tifa before going down if you like (Best Bromance - choose option
1, �I don't feel like it�), otherwise just interact with the pinball machine
to descend.
After some dialogue you'll try to leave the bar. Tifa will stop you (Best
Bromance - when prompted, select option 2 '...Sorry'), and you'll end up in a
flashback. Although it may seem a little cheesy, there's actually a lot more
going on here than meets the eye. Once the flashback has finished, and after
receiving Barret's stash of [1500 GIL], you'll (eventually) have control of
Cloud again after sleeping the night.
When you awake, ascend the pinball machine. (Best Bromance - Before anything
else talk to Tifa and choose option 1, �Barret's snoring kept me up...�) As
you try to leave you'll have to talk to Barret once more and he'll ask you to
explain to him (and to us) how Materia works. If you're completely knew to
this game then you may wish to view this tutorial, although it is slightly
long. Afterwards, check the Menus to see that we will now have access to the
Materia option, whoopee! Time to go shopping.
Head outside and into the south-western most building. Buy yourself 1 x
Restore Materia and 1 x Lightning Materia.
NOTE - Robotic based creatures are usually weak against Lightning based
attacks, and there's a fair few robots to fight soon which is why I've
advised you to by a second Lightning as opposed to a Fire which we
haven't yet obtained. We will soon enough though, patience my friends.
I'll also give a full Elemental breakdown when I feel the time is
right.
Then, head over to the store just east from the one you were in and talk to
the guy on the left. Buy from him 3 x Iron Bangles. If you talk to the kid
here he'll let you rest up for 10 gil, this'll come in handy for later.
Head to the second floor to find a bouncing save point. This is the
[BEGINNERS HALL], and straight off the bat GRAB THAT MATERIA! the [ALL
MATERIA] to the right. Then straight after grab the [ETHER] from the falling
chest (this restores MP). If you talk to the people in this room then you
will learn more about the mechanics of how the game works, although this
walkthrough should cover most of what you will need to know as you're going
along.

NOTE - The All Materia is the best piece of Materia for this early stage in
the game, and will dominate your battle strategy for a while.
If you have 0 Potions in your inventory, you could talk to the big guy
standing next to the dog for a free [POTION]! Select the option �How to heal
your allies?�, just bear in mind that you can only obtain the one. Shout out
to Ex-SOLDIER-13 for finding this potion (that's his online tag; I'm not
thanking Cloud...)!
There's nothing left to do here now, although feel free to explore the rooms
I haven't gone into yet to converse with various NPCs (you can also talk to
Johnny at the top of the screen). When you're ready, equip everyone with the
Iron Bangle, then give Barret All and Lightning making sure that they are
'paired', Barret's Bolt attack will now hit all enemies! Give Cloud Restore &
Ice and give Tifa Restore and Lighting.
NOTES - Any blue (Support) Materia we obtain has to be paired with another
green (Magic) or red (Summon) Materia in order for them to take
affect; they will not work independently (some yellow (Command)
Materias can also be paired, but not all).
- The AP we gain during battles stands for Ability Points, they go
into Leveling up our Materia. At Lv 1, All can only be used to target
all enemies once per battle, this will increase as the Alls' level
increases.
- Any magic that is linked to All will deal 66% of its normal power.
You can toggle All�s in-battle effect using R1.
Time to save the game!
Before heading out onto the train, consider heading east to the Train
Graveyard in order to get some kills with Barret's All set up. All of the
enemies here are ones we've fought before, except now some of them are
dropping Ethers. Battle here for a bit, when Barret's MP runs out head back
to the inn to rest up for 10 gil (talk to the boy in the weapon shop then
climb to the third floor). You don't want to spend too long training here
though because there is an awesome training spot coming up which will
eliminate the 'random encounter' regime; we will get non-stop uninterrupted
battles! We won't be able to rest there though so when our MP runs low we'll
be relying on Ethers which is why it's good to try to get a one or two now
from the enemies, I left with 3.
When you're ready, rest, save, then head out onto the train to begin the next
mission. One last top tip to give to you before moving on, a tip that'll save
you from ever having to use Potions outside of battle again!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - THE 'ALL TRICK' [
] [
] When your characters healths start to run low, equip Cloud (who has the [
] highest magic stat at this stage) with All and pair it with Restore. Now, [
] go into 'Magic' from the main menu and select Cloud. Then select Magic, [
] Cure, then when the finger prompts you to choose which party member it is [
] you wish to heal, press R1 to activate the All�s effect. You have just [
] healed your entire party for 4 MP! This is how you're going to want to [
] heal outside of battle from now on. Once you're done, don't forget to give [
] the All back to Barret! [

--Items - Phoenix Down, Hi-Potion
Once you've regained control of Cloud, Tifa will want you to talk to her.
Before doing so, read the following first:
Eventually we're going to be on another time limit, this time we'll be
jumping from cart to cart whilst obtaining items by talking to individuals
along the way as quickly as we can. I'll number bullet point this section
again for simplicity.
NOTES - Getting caught early will mean that you'll be dropped off further
south of your target than if you'd stayed on until the end, but
subsequently closer to the aforementioned training spot. Also, if
you get caught you will not gain a boost to your friends affinity
rating (Best Bromance - stay on till the final cart; don't get
caught).
- The Cart that you come in on is considered as Cart No.1.
Talk to Tifa when you are ready.
WHEN THE ALARM GOES OFF YOU'LL HAVE AROUND 15 SECONDS TO GET TO THE NEXT CART!
CART 1.) Head back and talk to the guy at the back and on the right for a
[PHOENIX DOWN]
CART 2.) Head down and talk to the guy at the front left of the screen for a
[HI-POTION]
CART 3.) A guy (Johnny) will run past you stealing 100 gil in the process.
Run back to him and select option no.2 to reclaim your d'oh.
CART 4.) Nothing
When you get to cart 5 you'll eventually end up jumping out of the (speeding)
train onto some train tracks, relatively unscathed!
To the north is our destination, and to the south is that training spot I
mentioned earlier, and there are roughly 7 screens separating the two. The
longer you stayed on the train, the further you'll have to double back on
yourself, unless you wanted to continue on with the mission, in which case
head a few screens north. Either way, make sure to have sped up the Battle
Speed in the options as previously advised as to deal with the Grashtrike.
Heading south, you'll eventually end up at a guard post, here you can enter
into an infinite number of battles!
NOTES - For these battles keep everyone in the front row. Before using
Barret's Bolt have every player weaken 1 enemy first, having Cloud
attack the enemy in the back row (always have your strongest attacker
hitting the enemies in the back row). When you get round to using
Cloud as your main attacker, note that his magic is strong enough to
kill all of them in one hit.
- (Cheers to Vinny 1983 for this tip) Equip the Bronze Bangles for
these battles to reduce you defence, resulting in more damage taken,
which will fill your Limit bars up more quickly!! Just don't forget
to re-equip the Iron Bangles when you're done.
And this, my friends, is the perfect time to give you guys (and gals) another
Limit Break rundown:
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - LIMIT BREAK TRAINING No.2 - Requirements of Leveling up [
] [
] So, there as two things that we need to focus on in order to level our [
] Limit Breaks up. The first being the amount of times we use our basic [
] (default) Limit Break. For example, once Barret has used his Big Shot [
] (also known as his 1-1 Limit) 9 times he will unlock his 1-2 Limit, [
] Mindblow. Once he has then acquired 80 kills he'll unlock his 2-1 Limit, [
] Grenade Bomb. There are 2 things to remember for now: [
] [
] 1.) You don't HAVE to unlock a character�s 1-2 Limit in order to unlock [
] their 2-1 Limit. Meaning, if you get 80 kills with Barret before you [
] have used Big Shot 9 times then you can just skip out Mindblow [
] altogether. This is inadvisable, firstly because Mindblow is quite a [
] handy skill to have, and secondly because the prerequisite for [
] learning a Level 4 Limit Break is that all previous Limits have been [
] learned. [
] [
] 2.) You must manually set your Limit Breaks when acquiring a new level! [
] Very soon (if you've been following my advice) you're going to unlock [
] Barret's 2-1 Limit, I then recommend using Big Shot the required [
] amount of times to unlock Mindblow. When you are ready, go into [
] 'Limit' in the main menu and 'set' your Limit Break to level 2; your [
] kills won�t start counting towards your level 3 Limit's otherwise. [
] [
] Sadly, Tifa doesn't have a 'paired' Materia slot at this stage, so we [
] won't be utilising the All=Lightning combo for her. Cloud on the other [
] hand does, so once you've gained 80 kills with Barret be sure to swap your [
] Materia around to start letting Cloud rack up some kills. It's worth [
] pointing out that Tifa's Limits are unique in the sense that they will [
] 'stack' against each other, use Beat Rush 9 times to unlock her 1-2 Limit [
] and then use her Limit in-battle to learn what I mean. Also, Tifa's Level [
] 1 Limit gauge requires the least amount of damage to fill up (40% of max [
] HP), so you should fly through to her 1-2 Limit. Keep her in the front [
] row. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
For a full guide on Limit Breaks see section E.02. For the sake of
helpfulness, I have decided to include a Limit Break description for each
character depicting how many kills/uses required for each Limit. Every new
character that you acquire you will see their Limit info displayed like so:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So! Battling it out with the special combatants, I was able to get Barret's
80 kills, unlocking grenade bomb with 30MP to spare for the boss. Nice! (LAST
reminder, set the Limit Break manually to Lv 2 in the menus!!!) If you run
out of MP with Barret and you haven't unlocked his Lv 2-1 Limit, don't bother
giving him an Ether, there'll be plenty of chances to train him up later on.
Before leaving this area I decided to whack All=Lightning onto Cloud, and I
left just before he had reached Level 12. Barret was Lv 11 and Tifa was Lv
10. Once you've had enough, head 7-8 screens north until you come to a grate.
There's really nothing left to do here now, so once you're ready jump down
into to the area below.
NOTE - Try getting a few Spiders Webs from the Grashtrike, they can slow
down the ATB of most enemies, even some Bosses!

--Items - Ether x 2, Potion, Tent
--Boss - Air Buster Lv 15 (Titan Bangle)
Follow the tunnel picking up an [ETHER] along the way, then descend into a
large construction-like area. Head west and you'll find two ladders along the
way, along with Wedge. It doesn't matter which ladder you climb, they'll both
lead to the same place.
You'll either see Jessie in front of you, or to (our) right depending on
which ladder you climbed. Either way, grab the [POTION] you see to the left
of her, then carry on west and down the ladder until you come to a save
point, picking up a [TENT] along the way.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - BACK ATTACKS [
] [
] If you haven't had one yet, you soon will. There are two things to note [
] about enemies that like to attack you from the rear: [
] [
] You're rows will have swapped. If you're really bothered by it, select [
] change (left) to swap them back, or just attack for less damage (magic is [
] unaffected). [
] [
] With your back to the enemy, they'll hit you for more damage. You can [
] negate this by momentarily holding down L1+R1 as if to run away, then when [
] you release you'll be facing the enemy, they'll then hit you for normal [
] damage. I'm trying to get my Limit Breaks up, so for now I'm just gonna [
] let them hit me for more damage. That's just for now, though. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Climb the ladder next to Biggs (if you talk to him he'll run away for some
reason), then in the next screen slide all the way down the long chute
(weeee). Start heading south-west then north-west and you should start to
recognise where we are.
DON'T FRET! If you're new to this game and you're thinking 'Oh God, not
another game that uses repeated scenery over and over and over',
then I assure you that this isn't one of them. This is probably
the only time in the game that we will see a 'screen repeat'.
Head down into the reactors core, saving along the way. This time we won�t
have any Guard Scorpion to fight, there'll be no time limit to escape but we
will have another one of Cloud's 'moments' (this is the second time in the
game that we hear the name Sephiroth, the first being the flashback at the
well).
Once the bomb has been placed, make your way outside of the reactors core, up
the elevator shaft once more, back into what initially may look like a
different room from before but actually turns out to be the same room just
from a different perspective. Grab the [ETHER] from the visible chest.
Head NW, and you characters will try to operate the nearby panel. After
pushing confirm on the last dialogue box, wait roughly 2 seconds then press
confirm again. It's a pretty easy mini-game to be honest, you'll figure it
out in no time. Before heading out to the T-shaped bridge, change your Load
out for the upcoming boss (or battle around for a bit first, I'm not
bothering):
Cloud - All=Restore, Lightning
Barret - Ice, Restore
Tifa - Lightning
Remember to heal using the All trick I showed you, also if you haven't done
so already then go into Config and slow the Battle Speed down to about 3/4 to
the left; we don't need it as quick as it is, the enemies will overtake us
when we hesitate otherwise. Make sure to do this.
Use an Ether on Cloud if necessary, save the game, then head outside for some
dialogue (there's that name Sephiroth again), eventually we'll be up against
a Boss! Finish this boss to finish up this section of the walkthrough (Best
Bromance - when prompted, choose option 1, �Be strong�).

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| Not much to mention about this foes other than the Hell House that you |
| meet in Sector 6, it delivers some fairly strong attacks that are good for |
| Limit Leveling. Oh, and unlike the most of Midgar, you will be able to |
| revisit this small section again much, much later on in the game which is |
| why some of the enemies here can be morphed and stolen from, but you don't |
| need to worry about that for now. The Vice can steal items from you so |
| watch out for them. Also, the Hedgehog Pie is vulnerable to Ice attacks, |
| so have an All=Ice Combo equipped. |
| |
| NOTE - Most of the enemies that you have previously encountered can be |
| stolen and/or morphed from, however you don't currently have the |
| required Materia to do so. I will only show those particular |
| details once the respective Materia has been acquired, unless the |
| area (like this one) is re-visitable. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Cover Materia, Ether, Potion, Phoenix Down,
--Extra - 5 gil (Leave), Turtle Paradise Poster #1, Bronze Bangle (recruit
equipment)
After hearing some strange things from the (mysterious voice), we'll
finally awaken. Talk; name a character [AERIS]; then talk some more to
eventually flee to the back of the church. (Take note of Aeris's comment
regarding her mother's 'useless' Materia)
Before doing anything, go into 'Order' in the menus and place Aeris into the
front row. Then, equip Cloud with the Titan Bangle then Aeris with the Iron
Bangle. Lastly, equip All=Ice, Restore & Lightning onto Cloud, and Restore &
Lightning onto Aeris. I suggest leaving Aeris in the front row for now; her
later Limit Breaks are awesome and we're going to want to start Leveling them
up straight away.
NOTE - (Best Bromance) - in this next section, it's *very important* that
you tell Aeris to Hold on a minute!, and then purposely push the
wrong barrel 3 times.
Jump across to the central platform and ascend the stairs and eventually
Cloud and Aeris will get split up. You'll then have three choices to make:
-Hold on a minute!
-Fight 'em!
-RUN!
I always choose fight 'cus I'm after the kills (running always results in a
fight aswell). There are Guard Hounds and MPs from Reactor 1 here for Aeris
to fight, nothing too hard. Aeris is worth grinding from the word go, but if
you want to avoid fighting and play a small mini-game at the same time then
here's how:
Choose 'Hold on' or Run, then run to the top platform to find 4 barrels. Hit
the western one first, then the northern one followed by the eastern one last
(or hit the wrong ones if you're going for the Best Bromance trophy). Bear in
mind that Cloud can also run into Hedgehog Pies here. Afterwards, you'll have
crushed all 3 Shinra scum and you'll be reunited with Aeris again. (What did
they say, something about an Ancient?...)
So, they were the Turks! Well at least one of them was, anyway. Spies that
generally involve themselves the Shinra's dirty work. This time they�re after
Aeris, but why...? After doing some roof-jumping, you'll have control of
Cloud on the ground again (Loving the beat).
NOTE - Every piece of green (and red) Materia we equip decreases our
physical stats whilst at the same time raising our magical stats. At
this early stage in the game we really don't need to worry too much
about this, it's just something worth bearing in mind once the whole
magic system really gets under-way. For now I suggest keeping everyone
equipped with Materia as so that the Materia can level up with AP.
Head west, save the game, then feast your eyes on Aeris's Limit Break list:
AERIS GAINSBOROUGH
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
| | |
| 1-1 HEALING WIND | 2-1 BREATH OF EARTH |

| | Great Gospel |
| | |
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Head west to a fork, then north to find yourself in the slums. Head into the
pipe on the left to find a sick guy with a numbered tattoo on him. (Note
Aeris - 'This guy are sick'. This is an infamous grammar mistake within
FFVII, along with �Attack while its tail is up�. In the PS4/Steam version the
grammar mistake was fixed).
Next head into the south western house, the Materia Shop to buy yourself 1 x
Ice and 1 x Fire (or 2 Fire if you can afford it, the game will give us our
second Fire eventually though, plus you'll want to save around 3000 gil for
the Wall Market). There's nothing worth grabbing from the next shop along,
the Item Shop (unless you want to stock up on a few Phoenix Downs), so
instead head into the eastern house. Upstairs, IF you were to talk to the
sleeping kid and then check the small drawers you can take his 5 gil. DON'T
DO THIS! Leaving this small amount of cash here now will make it worth a lot
more when you revisit this area later on (you must may sure to have examined
the draws here first, mind)!
Why have I brought you into this house then, you ask? It's so that you can
read the [Turtle Paradise Poster #1] at the top of the stairs, of course!

The last place to visit is the Weapon Shop up north. Now, you could buy a
Titan Bangle or two, but very shortly on were going to be able buy the
Mythril Armlet which is better than the Titan Bangle. So, instead of visiting
the Weapon Shop let�s just head straight through the north-eastern exit into
a flowery, colourful area with a big house and a waterfall in the background
(how tranquil). Before heading into Aeris's house, head past the house and up
the ladders and round to the bottom garden to pick up the [COVER MATERIA] on
the left and an [ETHER] on the right. Save and then head into the house.
After some dialogue (Best Bromance - choose option 2, �Yeah, that's right�),
head upstairs to rest up. In the night, you'll hear the (mysterious voice)
once more in your dreams. Once you awake, before leaving, pick up the white
package in your bedroom by the door which contains a [POTION] and a [PHOENIX
DOWN]. Then, WALK along the northern side by the railings (or you'll get
caught by Aeris) and make your way down the stairs and out the house.
Make your way back through the slums and down to the crossroads we came to
before, this time heading west at the fork to find someone waiting for us.
The next screen is the only screen where you can fight the Hell House, which
an enemy that has a fair amount of HP but also delivers some pretty damaging
moves. You can probably get 2 uses out of Aeris's 1-1 Limit before the next
screen. Equip Aeris with the Cover Materia also to help her take more damage.
Try and have at least 3020 gil before moving on.
Make your way through to the next screen, and after a few scripted events
have played out (Best Bromance - choose option 1, �See her home�), you'll be
taking Cloud two screens further north to the Wall Market!

Welcome to Wall Market, home of raunchy brothels, funky reggae and The Don!
Feel free to explore if you wish, just bear in mind that we'll be visiting
each shop in due course anyway. Firstly, we'll need to enquire about Tifa.
Save, then head to the south eastern corner to arrive at The Honey Bee Inn.
Talk to the big guy in the purple jacket and grey hair to continue with the
story. You can also talk to Johnny on the left as well if you like (isn't
that the same Johnny that tried to rob us on the train earlier?).
Time to go shopping! head back to the markets then enter the shop just north
of the item shop, which subsequently happens to be, the Item Shop (the first
one was a fake)! We're going to have to watch how much we spend here, make
sure to leave 2020 gil minimum. Depending on whether or not you bought a Fire
earlier you should have roughly 3000 - 3500 gil to play with. Buy from the
item shop 5 x Hypers and 5 x Tranquilizers costing 100 each if you can afford
them, or at least 2 Hypers and 3 Tranquilizers. These will help for later on.
Next up is the oh-so-crucial-at-this-stage Weapon Shop! Head north to the
next screen, then enter the second shop on your right and buy yourself:
1 x Mythril Rod O=O - Aeris 370 gil
1 x Metal Knuckle O=O - Tifa 320 gil
3 x Mythril Armlet O=O - Armour 1050 gil
Total - 1740 gil
NOTE - Another top tip here - you can equip Materia onto a character that
isn't currently a party member! A little later on, there'll be some
short moments in which we can set up Tifa prior to a Boss fight. You
don't have to wait till she's in your party to do this though! Go to
'Materia' in the menus, select 'Arrange' then 'Exchange'. Here we
can equip all of our characters with Materia regardless of whether or
not they're in our party. We can also exchange Materia from one
character to another either piece by piece, row by row or even all at
the same time! Give Tifa some Restore.
After equipping your new weapons and armour (now everyone can have a paired
slot, yippee!), head out of the shop and then all the way to the north. The
eastern exit is a dead end so just ignore it for now. Chat to the guy you
find to at the very top to further the story. (lol)
So, the main thing to point out her is that you only need to obtain a dress
and a wig in order to enter Don's mansion, however there are a number of
optional accessories you can obtain that will change the future outcome (call
this a mini-game if you will). You also get varying qualities of these items;
choose the best items to get the most comical and shortest events, get the
shabbier items to have some extra battles and a Phoenix Down! Note that the
Phoenix Down can be obtained a little later on in the game if you miss it
here due to you opting for the 'best' outcome. Also note that you can
sometimes get the best outcome even if you got one or two variations of the
available items.
For a full run down on how the whole scoring system works for each item look
in section E.04.

1 - Obtaining the Dress:
Head down to the main markets, then enter the most north western shop. Talk
to the guy at the counter, once he's done you'll have to head back the way
you came, towards Don's mansion taking a left at the bar for a quick pint and
a chat.
Talk to the man on the right, and eventually you'll have 2 dialogue options:
*1.) Choose 'soft' and 'shimmers' for the Silk Dress.*
2.) Choose 'soft' and 'shiny' for the Satin Dress.
3.) Choose 'clean' and 'shiny/shimmers' for the Cotton Dress.
NOTE - To get the 'best' outcome you'll need to get the best clothing.
Choose all the options that are star'd if this is the outcome you'd
like (required for aforementioned Trophy).
Head back to the Clothing Shop to obtain your dress.
2- Obtaining the Wig:
If you're after the best items then you'll want to save your game at this
point. Head through the north exit, this time taking your first right into
the gym. Talk to the only person who is fully clothed to engage in a mini-
game.
If you're new to this game then just select practise to get the jist of how
it works. You'll have to press Sq, X then O in that order with about 3/4
seconds between button presses.
*1.) Beat your opponent to obtain the Blonde Wig.*
2.) Draw with your opponent to obtain the Dyed wig.
3.) Lose to your opponent to obtain the Wig.
Now that you have obtained the bare minimum, you could, if you wished, head
over to the Clothing Shop to get changed to finish up with the Wall Market
section. Just head over to Don's mansion after you've dressed. I don't
recommend doing this however as you'll miss out on some fairly comical stuff
otherwise. Note that all of the following accessories can be obtained in any
order.
3 - Obtaining the Cologne:
Head back over to the bar and talk to the shuffling guy on the upper left
side to find out that someone is hogging the toilet. Open the toilet door
then talk to the person inside, you'll then be sent on an errand.
Head back to the Markets and enter the most central hut on the north side,
just left of the save point (if you talk to the chap outside he'll tell you
there's a 'Free Coupon' deal going on). Enter and sit down. It doesn't matter
which meal you order, just splash out 70 gil and make sure to pay a
compliment (option 2) when you've finished eating to receive the Pharmacy
Coupon.
Now head south to the Item Shop (the actual item shop, not the fake one) and
speak to the clerk to exchange your coupon:
*1.)Select Digestive for the Sexy Cologne.*
2.)Select Deodorant for the Flower Cologne.
3.)Select Disinfectant for the Cologne.
Make your way back to the toilets in the bar and speak to the sick person to
receive your fragrance.
4 - Obtaining the Tiara:
Head back to the Markets and into the north east shop, the Materia Shop, then
talk to the shop owner inside to be sent on another errand. Now head to the
Inn on the south west side and spend the night there for 10 gil.
During the night you'll be able to choose the following from the dispenser:
*1.)Spend 200 gil to receive the Diamond Tiara.*
2.)Spend 100 gil to receive the Ruby Tiara
3.) Spend 50 gil to receive the Glass Tiara.
Head back to the Materia Shop to claim your headpiece, then have a quick save
if you wish. Only one more piece to get now! (this next bit is my favourite
bit!)
NOTE - The Materia Shop is currently closed, and won't re-open for some time.
5 - Obtaining the Underwear and Make-Up:
>From the save point head south and talk to the biggish guy at the bottom of
the screen. You'll receive the Members Card to the Honey Bee Inn to the
right. Head over there, once inside you'll have two rooms to pick from. it
doesn't matter which one you pick; you just need to have obtained one of the
two items that are available (note that you can peek through the keyholes of
the NE and NW rooms for some rather peculiar scenes). You'll only be able to
choose one room, mind (I always choose the NW door).
1.) Choose the SW door for the Group Room. Here you'll receive the Bikini
Briefs and watch a very funny and slightly uncomfortable scene involving
Clouds' good time being interrupted by a bunch of men.
2.) Choose the NW door for the &$#% Room. Here you'll receive the Lingerie
and watch a scene where Cloud has another one of his moments hearing from the
(mysterious voice) once more. I always prefer this option, but that's only
because I have a firm grasp on what the hell is actually going on in this
crazy, crazy story. MAKE SURE to talk to the Honey Bee on your way out to
obtain the lingerie; it is missable.
Before you leave the Honey Bee Inn, head into the northern room to have the
left most Honey Bee apply make-up onto you.
You're all set! Head back to the Clothing Shop to get changed. Note that you
won�t be able to leave Wall Market once you are dressed as a woman, so if
there's any reason you'd like to go back to Sectors 6 & 5, do so now before
you get changed.
Once you're in your attire, head back to Don's mansion. Once inside and you
have control of Cloud, head up the stairs and into the left doorway, then
down a long flight of steps. After some more talking, you'll have a chance to
grab the [ETHER] that you can see flashing on the left.
Once you're ready to head out, whack the Menu up to kit Tifa out before the
Boss. You will get another chance to do this btw. Equip Tifa with the Metal
Knuckle and the Mythril Armlet, then take note of the Materia set-up I had:
Cloud - Lv 12 - All=Restore, Fire
Tifa - Lv 11 - Restore, Cover, Lightning, Ice
Aeris - Lv 8 - Lightning, Ice (if you bought a second Fire earlier then
equip it instead of Ice)
Cloud's magic stat is the highest at the this stage, that's why I like him to
be the healer of the group. Others prefer Aeris. And also I want Tifa to take
the damage which is why I've given her Cover Materia, I really want her 1-2
Limit asap!
If you have gone for the less glamorous attire because you wanted some extra
battles, then swap Cloud's All=Restore with All=Lightning to deal with the
upcoming goons. Head back up the long flight of stairs and enter into Don
Corneo's office.
If Cloud is wearing the Silk Dress, Blonde Wig, Sexy Cologne, Diamond Tiara,
a piece of underwear and some make-up then he will get chosen. If that
happens then you can skip the next 2 paragraphs. Cloud could have a few
variations of his clothing and still get picked.
Here is how the scoring system works:
DRESS
+5 - Silk Dress (Soft, Shimmers)
+3 - Satin Dress (Soft, Shiny)
+1 - Cotton Dress (Clean)
WIG
+5 - Blonde Wig (Beat Big Bro)
+3 - Dyed Wig (Draw with Big Bro)
+1 - Wig (Lose to Big Bro)
COLOGNE
+5 - Sexy Cologne (Digestive)
+3 - Flower Cologne (Deodorant)
+1 - Cologne (Disinfectant)
TIARA
+5 - Diamond Tiara (200 gil)
+3 - Ruby Tiara (100 gil)
+1 - Glass Tiara (50 gil)
UNDERWEAR
+0 - Bikini Briefs (Group Room)
+0 - Lingerie (&$#% Room)
Note - The Bikini Briefs were supposed to grant you +5, the Mystery Panties
was supposed to grant you +3 and the Lingerie was supposed to grant
you +1 but for unknown reasons the scoring system along with the
Mystery Panties was phased out of the final game.
MAKE-UP
+5 - 25% chance (Wind sound, difficult to hear)
+3 - 38% chance (Healing sound)
+1 - 38% chance ('Tink' sound)
FINAL SCORE -If cloud has:
2 - 11: Tifa will be chosen as Don's date
12 - 18: Aeris will be chosen as Don's date
19 - 25: Cloud will be chosen as Don's date
If Tifa or Aeris got picked then you'll wind up in a room with a bunch of
guys 'zombified' by your presence. Pick up the [PHOENIX DOWN] on the far
right, then talk to a few of the gropers. After a while, you'll talk to
Scotch and engage in 2 battles.
Once they've been defeated (and their bodies have mysteriously vanished),
head out of the room to find yourself on the Mansion's top floor. Head left
and then down the long flight of stairs once more. After some (affection)
dialogue, you can grab the Ether if you missed it before, otherwise head
through to the back of Don's office.
After the rather hilarious interrogation (Best Bromance - if Cloud was chosen
then remember to pick option 2 then option 2, �Yeah his name is Barret...�),
you'll have a window of opportunity to grab the well hidden [HYPER] hiding
behind the shrivelled Don's bed. Change Cloud's Materia back to All=Restore
if you'd changed it earlier, then try to leave. It doesn't matter which
dialogue option you choose next, all three will end the same way (option 2 is
the correct one btw).

] SIDE NOTE - LIMIT BREAK TRAINING No.3 - Hypers & Tranquilizers [
] [
] It is advised that you keep your characters inflicted with Fury to help [
] them reach their 1-2 Limit Breaks. [
] [
] Hyper - Cures Sadness, induces Fury. [
] [
] Whilst your characters are inflicted with Fury their Limit gauges [
] will fill up much quicker than normal! The downside to this is [
] that your players physical and magical attacks are 30% more likely [
] to miss. [
] [
] Tranquilizer - Cures Fury, Induces Sadness. [
] [
] Whilst inflicted with Sadness your characters Limit gauge will [
] fill up much slower than normal. The flip-side being that they [
] will also receive 30% less damage than they normally would from [
] both physical and magical attacks! This can be particularly useful [
] against certain bosses (such as the Midgar Zolom). [
] [
] Once any character has levelled up their Limit to 1-2, you should treat [
] their Fury with a Tranquilizer immediately as Fury will impair the [
] fluidity of the battle system. At least that is until they have unlocked [
] their 2-1 Limit by reaching their kill threshold and they are ready to [
] start working on their 2-2 Limit, of course! Fury and Sadness are the only [
] 'permanent' Statuses, all other Statuses will wear off once the battle has [
] finished. [

Now talk to your allies to engage in a Boss battle (Best Bromance - talk to
Tifa first)!

%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
After this battle I unlocked Cross-Slash, Cloud's 1-2 Limit! You shouldn't be
too far off yourself now. When you do unlock it remember to give Cloud a
Tranquilizer to clear his Fury Status.
We're definitely going to want to start getting some Aeris kills now, so heal
up using the 'All Trick' with Cloud if you need to then give Aeris the
All=Ice combo. Just note that when all players are Fury'd the battle system
get can get a little messy. You should be able to absolutely storm through to
their 1-2 in no time though, so Fury shouldn't be too much of a hindrance.
Grab the [POTION] on the left if you haven't already. I unlocked Tifa's
Somersault in the next battle, when you achieve Tifa's 1-2 remember to give
the Cover Materia to Aeris.
Traverse through the mucky sewers until you reach the [STEAL MATERIA]. Guess
what? The battle system just got more interesting. Equip this onto Cloud and
have him steal on every turn, just let the girls get the kills (Aeris first,
always Aeris first, Tifa can weaken). Try to steal a few Hypers and
Tranquilizers before leaving the sewers if you can.
NOTE - If you steal an item from an enemy then that enemy will no longer
drop an item. Also, the character that is the highest level has the
best chance of stealing, which is why I suggest making Cloud your
main thief.
Drop down to the next screen then make your way up the ladders and out into
the Train Graveyard. Save your game here.
Before continuing change from an All=Ice combo to an All=Fire combo, Aeris
can take out the Ghosts one hit that way. If you happen to come across the
Eligor make sure to steal a Striking Staff from it. Aeris won�t acquire a
better weapon for quite some time.
Head through the train cart by the save point and inspect the barrel on the
left for a [HI-POTION].
Head back the way you came then up the ladders to the right of the save point
for another [HI-POTION]. Keep heading north until you find another barrel
containing an [ECHO SCREEN].
Now head under the bridge and into the middle cart for a [POTION]. Follow the
path through until you've traversed the set of train carts to the right,
eventually coming to a [POTION] just before the next screen.
In the next screen you'll see a flashing item to the left, make your way
round to it for a [POTION], then head over to the western barrel for an
[ETHER].
NOTE - In the menus, try arranging your items by 'Type' for the best
arrangement.
Now make your way to the east. The pre-rendered backgrounds should make it
fairly obvious what to do here, I'll walk you through it just in case. Hop
into the first train, once it has finished moving hop back into it to move it
back into its original position. Now make your way into the newly accessible
train, and finally head up the ladders for the [HI-POTION].
Before heading through to the next screen (it should start looking familiar
now), consider battling around for the Eligor if you haven't already obtained
the Striking Staff. This would also be a good time also to try to work on
Aeris's 80 kills. Don't worry too much about it though, we've a long
adventurous journey ahead of us! Also, stocking up on a few Graviballs from
the Deenglow can help out for certain bosses (in fact, if you want to obtain
a powerful skill a little later on then I suggest walking away with at least
2). Lastly, if you want to obtain one of everything then I suggest walking
away with at least one Ghost Hand (obtained from the Ghost). You'll get one
more chance to obtain a Ghost Hand.
NOTE - When you do head back through to Sector 7 (the next screen), Aeris
will leave your party for a while. Any Materia she may be carrying at
the time will be deposited back into your stock, so you don't need to
worry about that, however you do want to replace her Mythril Armlet
with something less worthy; you'll need the Mythril Armlet for Barret.

--Boss - Turks: Reno Lv 17
After some short events have played out, you'll regain control of Cloud.
Talk to the guy with grey hair to stock up on a few Hypers and Tranquilizers
if you wish, then save.
We won�t be able to revisit the slums to the left so we have no choice but to
ascend the support tower. Along the way you'll fight Aero Combatants, they
have a decent amount of HP. You can also talk to the other Avalanche members
as you climb the structure.
Once at the top, you'll have a brief opportunity to equip your characters. I
suggest you make use of it. After equipping Barret with the Mythril Armlet,
give him a Hyper and then set up you Materia something like this:
Cloud - Lv 14 - All=Restore, Fire, Steal
Barret - Lv 12 - Ice, Lightning, Cover
Tifa - Lv 13 - Ice, Restore, Lightning
Use the 'All Trick' to heal up Cloud and Tifa (In case you've forgotten how
to do this, go into 'Magic' in the menus then go to use Cloud's Cure, and
before selecting a party member press R1 to select everybody simultaneously).
Note that the following boss is strong against Lighting so we won�t be using
it, I've only equipped it for the AP.

After the fight we'll have to talk to Tifa, then after an animated scene
followed by an amount of dialogue, we'll eventually regain control of Cloud
again (I'd be worried if we didn't).
We'll grab the yellow Materia you saw in the previous screen a little later
on. Head south for now, and after a moment where Cloud remembers something
that Sephiroth once said, Tifa & Barret will join you. Equip an All=Ice
combo. If you really want to grab that command Materia now, by all means do
so, otherwise make your way back to Sector 5 Slums.

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| You have fought all of these enemies before, but now you have the Steal |
| Materia, so try to steal a few Speed Drinks from the Vice as this is the |
| only way to inflict Haste on yourselves at this stage in the game. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Turbo Ether, Ether, Sense Materia
--Extra - Batteries x 3
If you had left that 5 gil in the chest from before then you can revisit
the boys room to receive a [TURBO ETHER]. Examine the Turtle Paradise poster
now if you didn't previously. Then head over To Aeris's house, having a quick
save along the way.
When you enter (Oh God, the music), you'll have to listen to Elmyra's story,
then eventually you can control Cloud. Head upstairs and talk to Barret (Best
Bromance - choose option 1, �I don't know�). You can rest here for free if
you like, just run over to the bed you slept in before. Then head outside and
Tifa will suggest heading over to the Wall Market.
If you encounter the Vice be sure to steal from them. If you didn't pick it
up earlier, now is the time to pick up the [SENSE MATERIA] from the park.
Note that once you have sensed an enemy during a battle you won't need to
sense it a second time. Just make sure that the Status Bar is open (Select)
and you'll be able to see an enemies remaining HP.
When you return to Wall Market you'll notice that peoples disposition towards
you will have changed. The stunt you played before has earned you a bit of a
reputation! The Materia Shop is now open, but unless you're wanting to buy
another Cover Materia then there's really nothing worth going in there for.
My advice is to buy a 2nd piece, as the effects stack against each other, but
it's up to you!
Head up to the Weapon Shop again and this time talk to the guy on the left.
He'll ask you if you want to buy some batteries - buy them! You won�t be able
to progress otherwise.
As you head north towards Don's mansion you will be beckoned by a bunch of
kids. If you didn't pick up the Phoenix Down from earlier because Cloud was
chosen by the Don then you can go and grab it now. Head into the mansion, up
the stairs and into the room on the right. If you were then to head down the
long flight of stairs once more, you could engage in some optional dialogue.
Head to the eastern dead-end that the kids were mentioning when you're ready.
After hearing Barret's famous Shiny Golden Wire speech, you'll be able to
climb this wire (which wasn't there before btw). When you get to the top make
your way over to the lit area on the bottom right. Insert the battery to make
the propeller blade start to spin, once it has stopped you can climb up it.
Place the second battery at the top also.
This next bit can be a little bit tricky, keep climbing until you come to a
swinging rod. You have to time it so that you push the action button at the
exact moment the rod touches the other object of similar colour to the left
(or just slightly before). Once across, you can make your way up to the next
screen.
Before heading all the way up here, follow the rope back down to the third
battery slot to receive an [ETHER]. Head back down to the previous screen to
do the whole rod swinging thing again, once you've completely ascended you'll
finally arrive at the Shinra HQ!

--Items - Elixir, Elemental Materia, Star Pendant, Four Slots, All Materia,
Phoenix Down, Ether
--Extra - Turtle Paradise Poster #2, Keycard 60, Keycard 62, Keycard 65,
A Coupon, B Coupon, C Coupon, Midgar Parts x 5, Keycard 66
When you first arrive at the Shinra's HQ you'll have the option to bust in
guns blazin', or sneak in through the back. Obviously you know which my
choice is gonna be, I'm looking on getting some Tifa kills with the
All=Lightning combo at this point, so I'm bustin in through the front. You'll
be able to come back for the item in the back entrance later on.
NOTE - Your choice here will not affect Tifa's or Barret's affection towards
you. Also, if you choose one route, you can still opt to change your
mind.
The Back Entrance.
Head left, you have a long climb ahead of you. Just after half way up the
tremendously long stair case you'll come across an [Elixir] for you
troubles. When you (finally) get to the top, you'll have to fight 3 Mighty
Grunts in order to obtain the Keycard 60.
The Front Entrance.
As you enter, you'll have defeat a few Grenade Combatants. Once they're out
of the way, head north west on the 1st Floor to the big billboard to read
the [Turtle Paradise Poster #2]. Then, head up to the 2nd Floor and into
the shop to stock up on a few Eyedrops (I bought 8). You won�t be able to
open those chests just yet, but you can watch a few promotional Shinra vids
from the terminals to the left.
There is nothing on the 3rd Floor, so just head into the lifts. On your way
up you'll have to fight a number of enemies until you finally reach the 59th
Floor, where you'll then have to kill 3 x Mighty Grunts for the Keycard 60.
Whichever path you took, consider now tracing back to the other path; if you
bust your way in all guns blazin', you could now head down the huge staircase
on the left if you wanted to for the Elixir roughly half way down (it's
quicker to double back once you've obtained it).
If you�d sneaked in through the back entrance then at this point you are
really going to want to head back down to the 1st floor in the elevator to
visit the shop for a few Eyedrops, but more importantly the Billboard on the
1st Floor for the Turtle Paradise Poster #2.
NOTE - This Turtle Paradise Poster is permanently missable! Don't worry
if you did miss it here, as you will get one more chance in the game
to examine it. This won�t be until much, much later on though.
Shinra HQ - 60th Floor:
We now have a series of floors we must ascend by finding their corresponding
Key cards on the floors below them. Whilst on the 60th Floor, you will have 2
sets of guards that you must navigate past. It's simple enough to work out.
If you get caught you will have to fight them, and if you get caught 4 times
then they will have vanished completely after the battle (unfortunately). Now
Head up to the 61st Floor.
Shinra HQ - 61st Floor:
All you have to do here is talk to the guy walking around in the grey suit.
Simply choose dialogue option 2 and he'll give you Keycard 62.
Shinra HQ - 62nd Floor:
There is a highly missable piece of Materia here, so head back to the 1st
floor and save your game. Then head back up to the 62nd Floor and talk to the
Mayor on the left side to engage him in a quiz. Guess right and he'll give
you Keycard 65. Guess right on the 1st try then he'll throw in the highly
under-rated [ELEMENTAL MATERIA]. The answer changes from game to game so if
you don't guess correctly on your first try then just keep guessing until
you've got the right answer, then reload your save. You WILL be thankful you
did this. I'll explain the most proficient ways of using the Elemental
Materia a little later on (when we obtain the Choco/Mog Materia).
NOTE - There is a way to know the password on the first try. Go to the upper-
right room (Space Dev. Research Library) and check the middle left
bookshelf. if the file is :
2 Economic Report: Space Dev Program Password BEST
1 Result of failed space mission �YA-79� Password KING
1 Breakdown of SOLDIER members by class Password BOMB
10 New plans for urban planning Password MAKO
Thanks to BrutalAl on this one
Shinra HQ - 63rd Floor:
The next two floors are optional but I highly recommend that you don't skip
them as you'll being missing out otherwise. Examine the terminal on the right
to start a Mini-Game of sorts. You have three doors to open and three items
to obtain. If you mess up you can reset the doors by using the terminal to
try again.
First head all the way east then north round to the upper most door. Open it,
from there you should be able to get into the western most room by opening
one more door. Pick up Coupon A which can be exchanged for the [STAR PENDANT]
(don't exchange it just yet).
Then head into the air-duct and make you way east and then north to bring you
out at the eastern room containing Coupon B which can be exchanged for the
[FOUR SLOTS]. Head out of this room and open your last door for Coupon C
which can be exchanged for the [ALL MATERIA].
Now head back into the air-duct and this time take the route back to the
terminal. Here you can exchange your Coupons for their prizes. My suggestion
is to give Cloud the second All combined with Restore so we don't have to
keep swapping our Materia around every time we want do the 'All Trick'. Also,
Four Slots is a piece of armour that has (you guessed it) four Materia slots,
but also has low defence stats. The Star Pendant can be equipped as an
accessory which can protect you from Poison, this will help a little later.
Equip it to Cloud, if you wish.
Shinra HQ - 64th Floor
Not much to do here. You can head to the left to rest up for free, just
remember that you may need to give someone a Hyper if you're Limit Training
them as resting will cure you of Fury Status. Save if you wish, then head to
the northern room with all of the lockers in. Search the southern strip for a
[PHOENIX DOWN], the middle strip for an [ETHER] and the northern strip for a
Megaphone that Cloud has no use for at this moment in time.
NOTE - *Make sure* to try to use the vending machine in the gym. Bang on it
if you have to, nothing will come out of it, yet..... (but do bang
on it)
Shinra HQ - 65th Floor
You can encounter enemies here by the way. Dotted around the room are several
chests, only one will be open at a time (at random). Once you've found the
unlocked chest, take its contents to the middle room where you will be able
to place it down, thereby opening up another chest. Repeat this process until
all but one piece has been placed (because there is no Sector 7 anymore), and
the chest by the stairs will unlock granting us the Keycard 66.
Shinra HQ - 66th Floor
Here you are required to spy on a meeting. Head over to the toilet cubicles
at the top left of the screen and examine one of the cubicles to climb up.
Crawl down the shaft to eves-drop on President Shinra's meeting. Here is
where we first meet Professor Hojo and also learn the name of Aeris's
biological mother, Ifalna. Once the meeting has finished follow Hojo up to
the next floor and into his lab.

| Change to an All=Fire set-up here and make sure to try and steal a Carbon |

--Extra - Mythril Armlet (recruit equipment), Sense Materia (recruit

equipment), Keycard 68
When you make your way up to the new floor, it would be advisable at this
point to battle around for a bit to try and steal 3 Carbon Bangles from the
Moth Slashers. Equip your new armour, then head west and after hiding from
Hojo, Cloud will examine the nearby tank to see some weird creature named
Jenova incubating inside.
Once you have regained control of Cloud, head north to find a chest
containing the [POISON MATERIA] and a save point. One of your teammates is
going to have to leave us in just a sec so decide now which one you want that
to be (Best Bromance - choose Barret) and remove any good armour and Materia
that they have. Heal up, then make your way into the lift.
Once you've reached the top you'll engage in some conflict with Hojo, then
you'll be able to name a new character [RED XIII]. Without much of a chance
to set up you'll be flung into a boss battle!

* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
After the battle you shall get an opportunity to arrange the characters that
you would like to have in your party. I decided to have Barret and Red XIII
(Best Bromance - choose the same party members), so first I put Tifa in party
then I used the 'Remove All' option (from the 'Arrange' tab in 'Materia'),
then I exchanged her armour and removed her accessory. Once Red XIII and
Barret were loaded with the best equipment, I set up my Materia with the
following:
1) Cloud - Lv 15 (Front)
Buster Sword - All=Restore
Carbon Bangle - Fire, Lightning, Steal
Star Pendant
2) Barret - Lv 14 (Front)
Assault Gun - All=Fire
Carbon Bangle - Elemental=Poison, Ice
Talisman
3) Red XIII - Lv 15 (Front)
Mythril Clip - All=Lightning, Sense
Four Slots - Restore, Ice, Cover, Cover
NOTE - Equipping the Elemental combo onto a character's armour will have a
different affect to placing it on a characters weapon. This doesn't
matter for now, I just thought I'd mention it. I'm only equipping
Elemental now as so that it starts receiving AP. More Elemental
details on the way. Also note that Red XIII came with an All, so we
can now have one on each character!
GRAB THAT MATERIA! Pick up the [ENEMY SKILL MATERIA] that you see in the test
chamber. You don't need to worry about equipping this just yet, I'll explain
what it's all about in a short while (Enemy Skill does not gain AP!).

Battle around for a little while until you encounter SOLDIER:3rd. You are
going to want to try to steal a weapon for Cloud - the Hardedge from them,
although it can be notoriously hard to do so. It took me roughly 10 minutes!
Try to get a few uses of Red XIII's 1-1 while your here, if you can.
Head south from where you picked up the Enemy Skill to find a set of stairs
leading to 2 [POTIONS]. You can talk to the chap in the Control Centre for
the Keycard 68. Head back down the stairs and then to the right to find
another 2 [POTIONS].
Now head back to the main elevator shaft, remembering to equip Cloud's
Hardedge if you managed to obtain one. Also un-equip any armour/accessories
you have equipped on Red or Barret. We're about to run into a small bit of
bother!
NOTE - You won�t be able to encounter the enemies that drop the Carbon Bangle
and the Hardedge past this point.

--Boss - Hundred Gunner Lv 18 + Heli Gunner Lv 19 (Mythril Armlet),
Rufus Lv 21 (Protect Vest) + Dark Nation Lv 18,
Motor Ball Lv 19 (Star Pendant)
So you've wound up in Shinra's Security cells. Bummer. You can talk to your
friends here for some (affection) dialogue, then when you're ready you can
get some shut-eye. (Best Bromance - When talking to Tifa, choose option 2,
�Kinda Hard�. Then think of Barret first, and Red XIII second)
NOTE - There is a glitch you can exploit here to raise Tifa's affection
towards you indefinitely. See section E.01 B for more details, or use
QSI Link [Speed Dating]. Remember, copy Speed Dating into the search
field, replacing the [] with {} to jump straight to that relevant
section. This does work in the Steam/PS4 versions.
When you awaken you'll notice something weird is going on. Take a look around
and eventually you'll have to follow RED XIII out of the cells. Set up your
new party with the best equipment and give both girls the All=Ice combo, not
forgetting to give Hypers out to those who are Limit Leveling!
Make your way round to Hojo's lab to find out the possible cause for all the
weirdness. Head to the northern lift. Follow the trail of blood all the way
to the 69th Floor where you can save; I recommend doing so. Also, replace
Tifa's Carbon Bangle with something else before moving up to the 70th Floor.
NOTE - When we continue on all of our HP & MP will be restored.
Head upstairs to find a few shocking revelations and then head through the
northern door. Eventually you will have the option to remove all of Cloud and
Tifa's Materia. Select yes, give Barret the Carbon Bangle then consider the
following set up (And yes I am equipping certain Materias just for the sake
of equipping them, like Enemy Skill):
1) Aeris - Lv 12 (Front)
Striking Staff - All=Restore, Sense, Steal
Carbon Bangle - Lightning, Poison, Enemy Skill
Talisman
2) Barret - Lv 14 (Back)
Assault Gun - Elemental=Lightning
Carbon Bangle - All=Ice, Fire
3) Red XIII - Lv 15 (Front)
Mythril Clip - All=Restore, Sense
Carbon Bangle - Ice, Fire, Cover
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - ELEMENTAL MATERIA [
] [
] It is crucial to point out that I have equipped Barret with the [
] Elemental=Lightning combo on his weapon and not his armour. The following [
] few Bosses are weak vs Lightning attacks and with this combo attached to [
] Barret's weapon it will make his attacks lightning based hitting for extra [
] damage. If you had attached it to his armour by mistake then he would be [
] defending from Lightning based attacks which would be pointless at this [
] stage. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Depending on where you are with your Limit Breaks and how many Hypers you
have remaining, you may want to give Barret and/or Red XIII one to get a few
uses from their Limits. When you're ready, head over to the elevators to
engage in not one but two Boss battles! (Even though the battle music
suggests otherwise...)

%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
As soon as this battle has finished you'll be back with Cloud and Rufus.
Press Sq when prompted to remove everyone's Materia, then set Cloud up with
something like this:
1) Cloud - Lv 15 (Front)
Hardedge - All=Poison, Restore, Ice
Carbon Bangle - Elemental=Lightning, Fire
Star Pendant

* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
As soon as the battle is done head back down to the 69th Floor. Save if you
wish then talk to Tifa to make our POV change to our other team. After a cool
FMV you'll have an opportunity to swing your sword about a bit, and set up a
party. I went with:
1) Cloud - Lv 16 (Back)
Hardedge - All=Restore, Lightning, Ice
Carbon Bangle - Elemental=Fire, Enemy Skill
Star Pendant
2) Barret - Lv 14 (Front)
Assault Gun - All=Restore
Carbon Bangle - All=Fire, Steal
Talisman
3) Red XIII - Lv 15 (Back)
Mythril Clip - Lightning, Ice, Sense
Carbon Bangle - Poison, Sense, Cover, Cover
Protect Vest
I have set up my party in the reverse of their normal rows for this fight for
reasons that'll make sense in just a sec, for now we have a Mini-Game to play!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - G-BIKE MINI GAME [
] [
] Ahh, I can still remember playing this for the first time roughly 18 years [
] ago. O.k., so there are going to be two types of bikers that are going to [
] try to attack your blue truck that has your companions in, and the more [
] health taken out of the truck the less health your players will have going [
] into the Boss battle at the end (ha ha at Red XIII's Pic). Press Sq to [
] swing to the left and O to swing to the right. Sounds simple enough, [
] right? [
] [
] Orange Bike - The easier of the two. These bikes have a fairly predictable [
] pattern and shouldn't be too difficult for you to take out, [
] you just have to time you swings right. [
] [
] Red Bike - These are the bikes that will cause you problems. Instead of [
] attacking your blue truck, these bikers will draw you away from [
] your comrades, and while you�re busy trying to take out the red [
] bikes the orange bikes will sneak up without you noticing. Just [
] stay by you team, let the bikes come to you. [
] [
] Blue Bike - These only appear on the Steam/PS4 version, and appear to act [
] identical to the orange bikes. [
] [
] don't forget you can cause a 'domino affect' by lining them up right. Once [
] you reach the end of the Highway you'll be instantly engaged in a Boss [
] battle! [

* Ball while Barret heals the group and then | -----DOUBLE: | LHT--------- | *

* sense him aswell so that you can see his *
* remaining HP. He can deliver a few powerful Fire based moves here, which *
* is why I'd recommended the Elemental=Fire combo on Cloud's armour. Lastly, *
* don't use Fire based spells as they will inflict 1/2 the normal damage. *
* Once he's been annihilated you'll be rewarded with the [STAR PENDANT]. *

Once you've jumped down to the outskirts of Midgar you'll be able to engage
in some optional dialogue. When you're ready, go to leave the south screen to
be prompted to set up a party (Best Bromance - choose Barret & Red XIII).
When you're ready, head outside to the vast and wonderful World Map!
NOTES - Very shortly we will gain the ability to swap our players around at
will, so don't worry trying to decide on the best character to pick
just yet.
- There are two amazing spots in this game for Leveling up our Limit
Breaks, the first of which we will be arriving at pretty shortly.
- Red XIII's 1-2 Limit is a really effective method to defeating one
soon-to-fight mega hard boss, as it will caste Haste and raise the
defence of all allies, so try to learn it soon (8 uses of Sled Fang).

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| While you are engaging the Custom sweeper you are going to want to steal |
| the Atomic Scissors from it whilst waiting for it to cast Matra Magic. |
| This weapon for Barret will save you 1400 gil and at the same time it'll |
| sell for 700 gil should you wish to stock up on a few. Other than that, |
| watch out for the prowler; if it steals from you then make sure to kill it |
| before it can run away. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now the we have access to the World Map, now we can truly feel as though we
are playing a vintage Final Fantasy game. Up until now the game has been
fairly linear, it's about to massively open itself up! I have designed a map
of every part of the World Map, visit section F.01 for a map of the continent
you're on!
3 things to point out about the World Map:
1 - You can save at any point whilst on the World Map.
2 - Press Select once to bring up the Mini Map, press Select again to bring
up the Full Map.
3 - Pressing R1/L1 will rotate your camera's view of the map. Pressing R2
will change the camera back to the annoying overhead view.
Our next destination, Kalm, is east north-east from Midgar. Equip an All=Fire
combo for the Kalm Fangs and an All=Lightning combo for the Custom Sweeper,
also make sure to equip the Enemy Skill Materia and then battle around until
you engage with the Custom Sweeper!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - ENEMY SKILL [
] [
] Probably one of the most diverse pieces of Materia in the whole game, the [
] Enemy Skill will allow you to learn certain moves that the enemies can [
] cast. The player must survive the move and the battle must be won in order [
] for the skill to be learned. There are 24 moves to obtain in total, two of [
] which are permanently missable (Trine and Pandora's Box). There are 4 [
] Enemy Skill Materias to collect and only one needs to be filled in order [
] to achieve the Materia Overlord Achievement, however I highly recommend [
] that you set your sights on filling all 4 pieces up. Some of the moves [
] that you can learn can be incredibly useful, like for example, Matra [
] Magic! [
] [
] Matra Magic will be our best friend for now, it does non-elemental damage [
] to all foes for 8MP! Nice! Eventually it'll become obsolete as we obtain [
] bigger and badder Enemy Skills, but for now it'll do just nicely. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
So, you've learned the Enemy Skill Matra Magic and you've stolen the Atomic
Scissors (which isn't long range btw), and now you're ready to head to Kalm.
There are just 2 more points and a Side Note to mention before concluding
this incredibly short mini sub-section:
1 - I feel as though now is a good time to slow the battle speed down a
little bit. our characters are starting to level up nicely which means
their ATB gauge will start filling up quicker. We can afford to bring
the Battle Speed down to roughly 3/5's maybe slightly quicker.
Reason being, we don't want the enemies to overtake us when we hesitate.
2 - You'll have picked up a Guard Source along the way whilst in the Shinra
building. This is an item that will permanently increase one of your
stats! Most people whack these straight onto Cloud, my suggestion
however is to leave every single one of these 'sources' that you find
until you get to a certain point, deep into the game (and the Ocean),
The Sunken Gelnika!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE STATS MEAN [
] [
] Go into 'Status' in the main menu to view your stats. I've been using [
] these stats to help me decide on my battle plans so far. Here is what they [
] mean: [
] [
] Strength - The higher your Strength stat the more damage you will deliver [
] from your physical based attacks. Your Attack stat is directly [
] linked to your Strength. [
] [
] Dexterity - The higher your Dexterity Stat the quicker your ATB gauge will [
] fill up. Also, you will be more likely to evade physical [
] attacks as your Defence% stat is directly linked to your [
] Dexterity and Luck. [
] [
] Vitality - The higher your Vitality stat the less damage you will receive [
] from physical based attacks. Your Defence stat is directly [
] linked to your Vitality. [
] [
] Magic - The higher your Magic stat the more damage you will deliver from [
] you magical based attacks. Your Magic Attack stat is directly [
] linked to your Magic [
] [
] Spirit - The higher your Spirit stat the less damage you will receive from [
] magical based attacks. Your Magic Defence stat is always [
] identical to your Spirit. [
] [
] Luck - The higher your Luck stat the more likely you are to land a [
] critical hit. Also, you will be more likely to evade physical [
] attacks as your Defence% stat is directly linked to your Dexterity [
] and Luck [
] [
] The are only two stats that aren't directly linked: [
] [
] Attack% - The higher your Attack% stat the less likely you are to miss [
] with your physical based attacks. [
] [
] Magic Defence% - The higher your Magic Defence% stat the more likely you [
] are to evade magical based attacks. [
] [
] So, Strength - Luck, our main attributes, are our 'base' stats if you [
] will. These stats will only increase by Leveling up (usually). Our Attack [
] - Magic Defence stats are variable based on our weapons and armour. As [
] your base stats increase, so will the variable stats, of which will also [
] increase as we obtain better equipment. This doesn't apply to Magic [
] Defence. For some reason that stat is fixed to our Spirit stat and won�t [
] budge due to a glitch, which was fixed with the Steam/PS4 release. [
] [
] Lastly, whilst in the Status screen you can toggle through with confirm to [
] see your Elemental and Status strengths' and weaknesses. More on these to [
] follow. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Head into Kalm. We can explore around a little later on, for now head into
the Inn and you'll eventually be venturing inside another flashback!
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.07 B - The Nibelheim Incident (�and not once, did the light in the
basement go out...�)
--Items - Megalixir, Ether x 3, Guard Source, Peacemaker
--Required gil - 4200
I've decided to keep this section as brief as possible, namely because I
don't want you to spend too much time reading this guide. I want instead for
you to immerse yourself in what's taking place; understanding the events that
unfolded 5 years ago are extremely important to understanding the story as a
whole. Make sure to pay attention.
After an easy battle you'll wind up in a town called Nibelheim.
Explore the town if you want, *making sure* to visit Tifa's house. Go into
her bedroom and interact with the piano you see in the corner to 'jam on it'.
You can play the following notes:
X, Sq, Tr, R1+Tr, R1+Sq, X, Sq, Tr, R1+X, O, X, Sq, X
Although not much happens now, you will be returning to this piano later
on....
Read a letter from Tifa's desk and check her wardrobe if you want, once
you've finished exploring the Town head into the Inn to rest.
NOTE - If you do not jam on Tifa's piano now then you will not be able to
obtain a certain valuable item later on!
The next morning you'll venture out to search for the Mako Reactor in Mt.
Nibel. Along the way you'll run into some misfortune, whilst learning
something new about Materia. Eventually, you'll reach the reactor. It is here
that we will first learn the name Professor Gast...
NOTE - It's worth noting that if you were to take a look through the menus
you'd be able to view Sephiroth's stats and Materia, although you
wouldn't be able to swap any of it around. You'll also be able to see
what Materia Cloud was getting excited about earlier on - the Pre-
Emptive Materia (which isn't that great to be fair).
Save the game when prompted. Then.....
You'll eventually get to a point where you are required to explore a creepy
mansion. Look around, eventually you will find a passage that leads to an
underground tunnel (2nd floor). Here you will find Sephiroth, and he will
uncover some shocking truths regarding his mother. Then leave the basement.
Once you've awakened, visit Sephiroth in the basement once more. Once he has
finished, head outside. You shouldn't need to pick up this walkthrough until
the flashback has finished and you have received the APS system (Best
Bromance - after the flashback, choose option 1, �Wait a sec�, followed by
option 1, �Beautiful, just beautiful� when talking to Barret)!
Wow! So now we know why Cloud feels compelled to pursue his old friend and
now arch-rival, Sephiroth! For us, however it's time to retrieve some items
and buy some weapons in Kalm!
NOTE - Make use of the PHS! If you're looking to obtain the Best Bromance
Trophy, then you're going to want to place Barret and Red XIII in
your party now. Go out to the world map to make use of the PHS system.
Head back into the 2nd Floor of the Inn to find a cabinet on the west side.
Search it multiple times, and eventually you will be able to obtain the
[MEGALIXIR] inside.
Now make your way to the next house along on the right. Search underneath the
stairs on the 1st Floor to find an [ETHER] (Best Bromance - then talk to the
woman on the left and choose option 2, �You're full of it�, then head
upstairs and talk to the girl choosing option 1, �Yeah, maybe� (make sure to
have Barret and Red XIII in your party)).
Search the next house along on the 2nd Floor and you'll find a cabinet
containing another [ETHER].
In the third house along you'll find a [GUARD SOURCE] in a cabinet on the 2nd
Floor. Head back down to the 1st Floor and on the left hand side you'll find
a spiral staircase. Take it to the top to find a [PEACEMAKER], a weapon we
cannot use just yet.
Finish of the rounds by grabbing the last [ETHER] from the south eastern
house on the 1st Floor.
Now to spend some gil. Head up the main set of stairs that you see and enter
the shop on the left, the Item Shop. I suggest stocking up on 15 Hypers
amounting to 1500 gil. These will definitely come in handy later on.
Now head to the next shop along, the Materia Shop, and buy yourself:
1 x Earth Materia - 1500 gil
1 x Steal Materia - 1200 gil
1 x Heal Materia - 1500 gil
Total - 4200 gil
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - ESUNA [
] [
] Whilst Heal at Lv 1 will only cure of the Poison Status, Lv 2 Heal, Esuna, [
] will cure you of any Status! Equip Heal straight away and don't take her [
] out until she's levelled up. Esuna is crucial to any battle strategy. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
You should now head into the Weapon Shop just right of the Materia Shop to
sell some weapons. You shouldn't need to buy the following:
1) Mythril Saber for Cloud assuming you were able to steal the Hardedge from
the SOLDIER:3rd in the Shinra building.
2) Cannon Ball for Barret assuming you were able to steal the Atomic Scissors
from the Custom Sweeper in Midgar Area
3) Full Metal Staff for Aeris assuming you were able to steal the Striking
Staff from Eligor in the Train Graveyard, and
4) Mythril Armlet assuming you were able to steal 3 Carbon Bangles from the
Moth Slasher in the Shinra building.
The only weapon you won�t have is the Mythril Claw for Tifa, but don't worry,
we're going to be stealing a much better weapon than that very shortly anyway.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - SELLING UNWANTED WEAPONS & AMOUR [
] [
] I guess the golden rule here is to NEVER sell anything that has got either [
] a Double or Triple growth stat against it (which we currently don't have). [
] In fact, there are only three points in this game where I feel it is [
] necessary to sell my inventory, now is one of them. For peace of mind, I [
] suggest you only ever sell what is recommended in this guide to sell. And [
] make a fresh Save, aswell. Sell non listed items at your peril. [
] [
] First, go to 'Item', then 'Arrange', then arrange by 'Type'. Next, goto [
] any shop to sell your items. Sell the following (assuming you've been [
] following my guide to the letter so far): [
] [
] * = Unique item, cannot obtain again [
] [
] *Guard Stick x 1 - 70 gil [
] *Iron Bangle x All - 80 gil Each (I had 3) [
] Mythril Armlet x All - 175 gil Each (I had 4) [
] *Leather Glove x 1 - 60 gil [
] Mythril Rod x 1 - 185 gil [
] *Bronze Bangle x All - 50 gil Each (I had 4) [
] *Titan Bangle x All - 140 gil Each (I had 3) [
] Star Pendant x 2 - 2000 gil Each [
] Total - 5875 gil [
] [
] Note that you **must leave at least two pieces of armour** available for [
] your players to get changed into whilst you're swapping them around. I [
] made sure to be left with 1 x Carbon Bangle and 1 x Four Slot in my [
] inventory. Also, I left Barret's Assault Gun because it is long ranged and [
] we'll need it for later! [
] [
] If you're concerned about not having a full end-game inventory, then only [
] sell everything that you have more than one of, with the exception of the [
] Star Pendant which at this stage in the game is only good for selling for [
] gil. We'll obtain another one soon enough. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
We're all done with Kalm now, nothing left to do but to set up our team and
to make our way over to the Chocobo Ranch!

Before heading out, now that we have the ability to change our characters
around whenever we want using the PHS (provided we are at a save point), I'd
like to make a quick note regarding the most efficient ways of swapping you
party around.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - EFFICIENT WAYS OF STRIPPING DOWN A CHARACTER [
] [
] Before changing a players armour and accessory you're going to want to [
] explore the quickest way of swapping your Materia around. Some people like [
] to us the 'Remove All' feature, others like to 'Exchange' their Materia [
] all in one go. [
] [
] For me, I've found that the quickest way is to first 'Arrange' my Materia. [
] Then, I'll select the top-left piece of Materia of the character that I'd [
] like to swap out, then I'll press R1 to scroll down to an empty inventory [
] space. Then I'll press O, Right, O, Down, O, Right, O, Down etc. (or X if [
] I'm playing the PS4 version) until all of my Materia has been removed in [
] order. Then, pressing Square I'll jump straight over to the Equipment [
] menu, where I'll remove any Accessory using Triangle and replace the good [
] Armour with something less fancy. [
] [
] This way I can set my new player up with everything that the old player [
] had in less than 60 sec. I find that the 'Exchange' way of doing it can [
] sometimes be a little tedious due to the fact that not everyone has the [
] same amount of Materia Slots. Each to their own, I suppose. I'm sure [
] you'll find the quickest way that works for you. [
] [
] NOTE - Whilst in the PHS menu you can press confirm twice against a [
] character to see what equipment and Materia they have on them [
] without having to place them in your party. Also, any party member [
] not in your team will receive 1/2 the amount of EXP that your team [
] does. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
O.K., so we're finally ready to head on. Take a quick look at my set-up, give
people Hypers that need them and then make your way south-east to the Chocobo
Ranch:
1) Cloud - Lv 16 (Front)
Hardedge - All=Restore, Sense Steal
Carbon Bangle - All=Lightning, Heal
2) Aeris - Lv 13 (Front)
Striking Staff - Poison, Ice, Fire, Enemy Skill
Carbon Bangle - Elemental=Earth, Lightning
Talisman
3) Red XIII - Lv 16 (Front)
Mythril Clip - All=Fire, Ice
Four Slots - Restore, Steal, Cover, Cover
Protect Vest
NOTE - There are only certain stages in the game that it is necessary to
have Barret in your party to earn the Best Bromance Trophy. This
*isn't* one of them.
Along the way you should encounter the Mu. Don't forget to learn the Enemy
Skill L4 Suicide from him, although it could take a while as it has a 1 in 14
chance of using it.
When you get near to the Chocobo ranch you may notice the huge swamp to the
west; don't venture out into it or you'll be attacked by a giant snake
(Midgar Zolom)! We are going to have to get across somehow, perhaps a Chocobo
could get us across? Let's enquire at the Ranch.
NOTES - When I was roughly 12 years old (1999) I spent ages trying to see if
it was possible to dash across the swamp on foot without the Zolom
catching me. It is possible. It's incredibly difficult to do however,
you have to time your run just when the Solid Snake is all the way
over to the left of you. For what it's worth, just catch a Chocobo.
- The Midgar Zolom has a powerful Enemy Skill called Beta,and is
perhaps the strongest magic you'll obtain for a good long while.
I'll walk you through how to obtain it shortly.
GRAB THAT MATERIA! Once you have reached the Chocobo Ranch you can talk to
the nearest Chocobo, select option 1 (wark) to receive the [CHOCO/MOG
MATERIA]. Not only is this our first summon Materia, but it is also our first
Materia that is Wind based!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - SUMMON MATERIA [
] [
] 18 Years ago these in-battle sequences blew me away. Today, However they [
] just seem to go on a little bit too long for me to be bothered to cast [
] them, ESPECIALLY given the fact that they can be incredibly detrimental to [
] our physical stats. Take a look at Choco/Mog: [
] [
] Magic + 1 [
] Max HP - 02% [
] Max MP + 02% [
] [
] So we can see that whilst having a negative effect on our physical stats, [
] we are also receiving a positive effect on our magical stats. The stronger [
] the Materia, the stronger the effect on our stats will be. Down the line, [
] we will find that our max HP could be dropped by as much as 10%! Because [
] of this, you should be very wary when choosing to overload someone with [
] Materia. [
] [
] BUT!!! [
] [
] Summon Materia will sometimes have an Element property, and Choco/Mog is [
] our first Wind based Materia, of which more enemies are weak against than [
] any other Element in the game! Additionally, the Fledgling Summoner Trophy [
] can be obtained by casting a summon in-battle (which we're going to be [
] doing shortly). [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - ELEMENTS AND MATERIA'S [
] [
] As you know by now many enemies will have various Elemental strengths and [
] weaknesses. Here is every Element in the game, my abbreviation of that [
] Element, and all of the Materia associated with that Element (S = Summon): [
] [
] FIRE (FRE) - Fire (Fire), Contain (Flare), Ifrit (S), Phoenix (S), [
] Kjata (S), E-Skill: Flamethrower, Beta, Magic Breath [
] [
] ICE (ICE) - Ice (Ice), Contain (Freeze), Shiva (S), [
] E-Skill: Magic Breath [
] [
] LIGHTNING (LHT) - Lightning (Bolt), Ramuh (S), Kjata (S), [
] E-Skill: Trine, Magic Breath [
] [
] EARTH (ERT) - Earth (Quake), Contain (Break), Titan (S), Kjata (S) [
] [
] POISON (PSN) - Poison (Bio) [
] [
] GRAVITY (GRV) - Gravity (Demi) [
] [
] WATER (WTR) - Leviathan (S), E-Skill: Aqualung [
] [
] WIND (WND) - Contain (Tornado), Choco/Mog (S), Typhoon (S) [
] [
] HOLY (HLY) - Alexander (S) [
] [
] O.K. so there are a few things here to point out: [
] [
] 1.) Contain has four different spells to cast that each have a different [
] Elemental property, aswell as casting Status changes. This makes it [
] one of the most useful magic Materias to have in the game. [
] [
] 2.) There are two Materias that can inflict multiple Elements in one go. [
] These are: [
] [
] Kjata - Hits with Fire, Ice, lightning & Earth. [
] E-Skill Magic Breath - Hits with Fire, Ice & Lightning. [
] [
] 3.) Once you've finished setting up your characters you can check that [
] you have set them up correctly by viewing their Elemental Strengths [
] and Weaknesses in the 'Status' menu. Press confirm once to flick to [
] the Elemental window. As your Elemental Materia levels up, so does [
] the effect of placing the combo on your Armour: [
] [
] Lv 1 - 1/2's the damage taken from the paired Element. [
] Lv 2 - Nullifies the damage taken from the paired Element. [
] Lv 3 - Absorbs the damage taken from the paired Element. [
] [
] So in theory, once you had obtained a level 3 Elemental you could [
] equip it with Fire onto your Armour and then use your Fire spell to [
] heal yourself. Nice! [
] [
] 4.) Poison is the only Element on this game that weirdly enough also [
] considered a Status. So, you could have the Elemental=Poison set up [
] on your weapon and you would be inflicting physical damage that is [
] Poison based (if a creature is weak vs Psn). Or, you could equip the [
] Added Effect=Poison combo on your weapon to have a chance of [
] inflicting your enemies with the poison Status when you attack (if [
] they are not immune to Poison). More on Statuses and the Added Effect [
] Materia once we receive it later on. [
] [
] There is still a lot more to learn about Elements, for a full rundown [
] visit section E.05. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Phew, side-note overload. We are now getting to a stage in the game where
these side notes should start to ease up a little, now that we're getting
quite adept to the game. there is one long Limit Break training note coming
shortly though, you have been warned!!
So, if you wanted to rest up for 100 gil then you can do so in the smaller
building on the left. Otherwise head into the barn to talk to Choco Billy to
request a Chocobo. You must buy a the [CHOCOBO LURE MATERIA] at this stage
for 2000 gil in order to proceed. Also, stock up on a few Gysahl greens, 5
should be enough for now. When you're ready to leave you can just exit
through the NE side of the screen, no need to run all the way back round the
pen.
NOTE - Chocobuckle is an Enemy Skill that will deal damage proportionate to
the amount of times you have fled from battle (so in other words it's
useless). And considering how much of a pain in the backside it is to
obtain, I suggest leaving it for now and coming back to learn it once
you have obtained all 4 Enemy Skill Materias, so you only have to
learn it once (by equipping all 4 E-Skills onto one character). If
you really must learn it now, however, then here's how:
First, make sure to have the ATB set to 'Wait' in Config (if you haven't
already), then purchase a Mimett Green from Choco Billy. These cost 1500
gil, so they're not cheap. Then, you're going to want to equip the Chocobo
Lure Materia and battle around until you come across a Lv16 Chocobo.
You'll know if it's a Lv16 or a Lv13 without having to use Sense simply by
the companions it keeps; If it is accompanied by either two Levrikons or two
Elfadunks then it's Lv16. If you see any other enemies with it then it's a
Lv13. Throw the Mimett Green immediately, once the Chocobo is fed cast L4
Suicide. If done correctly, the Chocobo will retaliate with the move
Chocobuckle. Congrats! You've just acquired the most useless Enemy Skill in
the game!
Now, back to the quest, it's time to learn a much more worth-while Enemy
Skill; Beta! Bear in mind that we will be returning to this area shortly on
in the game, and when we do we'll have a second Enemy Skill Materia to learn
Beta on, so you could just wait until then. Or grab it now. It's up to you.
NOTE - Beta is a ridiculously over-powered move, and will make an easy game
even easier. I suggest refraining from Beta-spamming your way through
your play-through; it'll take all of the fun out of it!
Still want to learn Beta? Here's how:
1) Make sure to have unlocked Red XIII's 1-2 Limit Break, Lunatic High.
2) Make a party consisting of Cloud, Barret and Red XIII, then fill their
Limit Breaks up all the way.
3) Give everyone Tranquilizers to inflict them with Sadness. If you don't
have any Tranquilizers then the Elfadunk can inflict Sadness on you.
4) Slow the battle speed right down. This is a good tip for any hard boss
battle.
5) Put everyone in the back row.
6) Now set up the following:
1) Cloud - Lv 16 (Back)
Hardedge - All=Restore, Poison, Steal
Carbon Bangle - Lightning, Ice, Heal
Protect Vest
2) Red XIII - Lv 16 (Back)
Mythril Clip - All=Restore, Enemy Skill
Carbon Bangle - Elemental=Fire, Sense
Talisman
3) Barret - Lv 15 (Back)
Atomic Scissors - All=Ice, Earth, Lightning
Carbon Bangle - Fire, Steal, Choco/Mog
The reason I've chosen Red XIII to be the Enemy Skill bearer is not only
because he has the highest amount of HP, but also because he has one of the
highest Spirit stats (2nd to Aeris, who doesn't have enough HP to withstand
Beta). Accompanied by the fact that he has the Talisman, Elemental=Fire in is
armour, along with Sadness (which reduces all damage taken by 30%) he should
be able to withstand Beta!
Now, heal yourself using the Restore Materia (don't use the Inn at the
Chocobo Ranch, or you'll clear the Sadness status), then save the game. It's
time for the hardest boss battle yet!
NOTES - In order to successfully learn Beta, you must first make sure that
the Enemy Skill bearer has survived the attack itself. You must also
make sure to actually win the battle. The Midgar Zolom will 'flick'
one of the players out of battle, and if that person happens to be
the Enemy Skill bearer, then you'll have to battle it again I'm
afraid (even if the character was able to learn the move).
- If there was ever a time to make use of your Hi-Potions, Elixir or
Megalixir then now would be that time!

* | MIDGAR ZOLOM | | BOSS BATTLE: | 09 A | *
* |____________________________________________| |______________|__________| *
* | | | *
* To defeat the Midgar Zolom you must first | ---------Lv: | 26------ | *
* understand how its AI works. After 1000HP has | ---------HP: | 4000---- | *
* been taken out of it, it'll change its stance. | ---------MP: | 348----- | *
* Once another 1000HP has been taken out (so it | --------EXP: | 250----- | *
* is at 50%), it'll 'flick' the last player to | ---------AP: | 25------ | *
* have attacked it out of battle (the move | --------GIL: | 400----- | *
* itself is called Blown Away). This player is | ------MORPH: | X-Potion | *
* then regarded to have fled from battle, and if | ENEMY SKILL: | BETA---- | *
* the remaining two players are then KO'd, you |_________________________| *
* would return to the world map as opposed to *
* meeting a game-over screen. Once the Zolom's HP reaches 1500, it'll cast *
* Beta as a counter attack, which it can only do once per battle. At any *
* point during the battle after it has stood up, it may flick a player out *
* of battle (at random), however the chances of it doing so increase after *
* Beta has been cast. It will not use Blown Away more than twice per battle, *
* and if it does use Blown Away prior to its health being knocked below 50%, *
* it'll not use the move as a Counter Attack as its HP falls below 2000. *
* *
* NOTES - This can be a dangerous strategy, but if you are brave then you *
* could cast a Loco Weed on your characters to inflict the Status *
* 'Confusion' upon them (provided you were able to obtain one from *
* the Hammer Blaster earlier on). After selecting the command, but *
* before the item has been used, make sure to have another *
* character use a Hyper. If you're lucky, when that character *
* becomes confused the Hyper will be cast on the Midgar Zolom, *
* thereby reducing its accuracy by 30%! This can be tricky because *
* you then need to inflict physical damage on a character to negate *
* the effects of Confusion, and things could get messy in that *
* time. Thank BrutalAl for this Zolom tip! *
* *
* - If Beta is cast, and it misses the target who is wearing the *
* Enemy Skill Materia, then the move will still be learnt. *
* *
* As soon as the battle begins you're going to want to cast Lunatic High, *
* followed by Sense. If you had obtained 2 Graviballs as previously advised, *
* then now would be the time to use them, as doing so will drop its health *
* down to 2250. You can then have Barret use his Limit Break and/or cast *
* Choco/Mog to bring its health down to 2000, thereby triggering Blown Away. *
* If you hadn't acquired any Graviballs earlier, then I'm sure you'll be *
* able to chip at its health however you see fit (Poison works really well *
* here). Just make sure that Barret is the one to bring its HP past 2000. *
* *
* NOTE - Casting a Summon will unlock the Fledging Summoner Trophy for the *
* PS4 players (or as Sony would rather me refer to them as - 'the *
* players'). *
* *
* Now try to inflict the Zolom with Poison if he hasn't already been *
* poisoned, and *make sure* that Red XIII is at full health as the Zolom's *
* HP drops below 1500, as it'll use Beta as a counter attack. Beta isn't *
* considered as a turn for the Zolom, so it'll usually follow on to use its *
* Bite attack after casting Beta, which could easily kill Red if you're not *
* careful. Now it's just a case of trying to revive Cloud whilst not being *
* caught in a revive-die-revive-die loop (use your Megalixir if you have *
* to), once both players have fully recovered you should be able to take *
* care of the snake by using Lighting and Bio. The biggest concern now is *
* Blown Away, as every three or four turns it'll have a 25% chance of *
* casting it, and if Red happens to be the one that gets flicked, you'll *
* have to try all over again! *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
NOTES - If you manage to defeat the Midgar Zolom, another one will spawn in,
making this battle repeatable.
- Remember to set the battle speed back to normal.
Time to catch yourself a Chocobo. Equip the Chocobo Lure Materia and then
battle around until you hear the funky music. Then, cast a Gysahl green on
the Chocobo (be quick) and defeat the foes whilst the Chocobo is grazing.
Once the enemies have been defeated and it's just you and the Chocobo left,
you'll have captured it, meaning that you can ride around on the back of a
Chocobo, battle free! Just note that when you get off your Chocobo it'll run
off, and you'll have to catch another one should you want one. Note - if
you're quick and strong enough you don't actually have to use a Green.
Remember this for later.
Make your way across the swamp avoiding the Solid Snake (or more accurately,
Midgar Zolom) to the other side. Note that once you have jumped off your
Chocobo, you won�t be able to return to the Chocobo Ranch or Kalm again until
much later on in the disk.
NOTE - If you had decided to skip out Kalm altogether, when you go to
disembark from your Chocobo, it would not run away; instead Cloud
will remark that he may have forgotten something, and will ask the
Chocobo to hang around. When you enter the Mythril Mines your party
stops you from venturing further.

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| Have an All=Fire combo for the Castanets and an All=Earth combo for the |
| Crawlers. Also, having an Elemental=Choco/Mog on someone's weapon is ideal |
| for the Ark Dragons. Make sure to Steal a weapon for Tifa, the Grand Glove |
| from the Madouge. You can cast L4 Suicide on them aswell. There are some |
| fairly strong foes here, so watch out! |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Long Range Materia, Ether, Tent, Mind Source, Elixir, Hi-Potion
After witnessing the might of Sephiroth, you'll be able to set foot inside
the Mythril Mines. My load out looks a little like this:
1) Cloud - Lv 17 (Front)
Hardedge - All=Restore, Sense Steal
Carbon Bangle - Ice, Poison, Heal
2) Aeris - Lv 14 (Front)
Striking Staff - Ice, Fire, Sense, Enemy Skill
Carbon Bangle - All=Fire, Lightning
Talisman
3) Red XIII - Lv 16 (Front)
Mythril Clip - Elemental=Choco/Mog, Restore
Carbon Bangle - All=Earth, Steal
Protect Vest
Red XIII will now do additional damage to the Ark Dragons who are weak
against Wind. Head right first, and in the adjoining screen climb the vine
that you see on your left and GRAB THAT MATERIA! the [LONG RANGE MATERIA].
Bear in mind that the Mythril Mines are re-visitable.
NOTE - The Long Range Materia acts as if you had equipped a long ranged
weapon onto someone. This also applies against flying creatures that
normally only Barret etc. would be able to hit.
Make sure to steal a Grand Glove from the Madouge and to learn the Enemy
Skill Flamethrower from the Ark Dragon here. Head back down the vine and grab
the green [ETHER] on the floor on the right and the [TENT] from the chest up
the stairs.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - OUR MATERIA LEVELS UP! [
] [
] It is always around this point in the game where my first Materia will [
] level itself up - the All Materia. We can now use the paired spell twice [
] during battle! Leveling up Materia is crucial to advancing in the game, [
] pretty soon we're going to see what our upgraded versions of Bolt, Fire & [
] Ice look will like. When a Materia levels up all the way ('Mastered'), it [
] will spring fourth a brand new little baby Materia. [
] [
] NOTE - The All Materia requires the least amount of AP to master compared [
] to most other Materias, and given that it sells for a whopping [
] 1.4 Million gil, it is definitely worth considering mastering as [
] many of these as possible! [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Head back to the previous screen and head all the way south east to find a
chest containing a [MIND SOURCE]. Then head west to the next screen to bump
into some people we'd really rather not bump into.
Once we've met the new recruit, head north first to an area containing a
chest with an [Elixir] inside as you enter, and a blue [HI-POTION] to the
right. Now head back, up the vines and out the exit to the World Map.
NOTE - The Mythril Mines are a great place to do some Limit Leveling, but
I'd hold fire for now, as the forests just up ahead are better in my
opinion, but only slightly.

| Also, the Zemzelett can |
| sometimes fly, meaning only long range weapons can harm him. This could |
| hinder your Elemental=Choco/Mog combo. |
| |
| Avoid having a quake combo, and make sure to steal a Boomerang from the |
| Formula. These sell for 700 gil each, so stock up on a few. Elemental= |
| Choco/Mog is one effective way of dealing with them, L4 Suicide is |
| another. |
| |
| The Capparwire can be found in groups of 5 when training in the forest |
| area, making this a great place to stop and Limit Break train for a while. |
| They can all be taken out with one Matra Magic Blast. |
| |
| The Mystery Ninja is actually a recruit-able character, and although she |
| doesn't have to be recruited just yet it is advisable to recruit her as |
| soon as possible. Why? No reason. I just like to have her as early as she |
| is available. Note that her stats are variable depending on Cloud's |
| current level. If you are a much higher level to the level I currently am |
| with Cloud (Lv17), then expect her stats to increase. Details on how to |
| recruit her below. She has a 12.5% encounter rate chance. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Required gil - 4000 (Reserve)
--Extra - Carbon Bangle (recruit equipment), Throw Materia (recruit
equipment)
Fort Condor Battle #1 - Magic Comb
Just west of us is Junon, our next destination. Before heading over, there
are a few things to do first. Make your way your way south-west to a weird
looking structure that is actually a huge bird on top of a reactor (Best
Bromance - make a party of Barret and Red XIII, no need to swap
equipment/Materia)!
As you enter you'll have to agree to lend a helping hand if you want to step
inside. Once inside, climb the long ladder rope and talk to the guy sitting
down. Once you've agreed to help him (Best Bromance - choose option 1, �I
guess so�, followed by option 1, �All right�), you'll now have access to the
save point and the beds just below. And, you can sleep for free aswell!
Head up the ladder on the right hand side for the Item Shop and the Materia
Shop. *Make sure* to save 4000 gil before deciding to spend frivolously; you
won't be able to take part in the optional battle otherwise! Stock up on
Hypers, Tranquilizers, and Phoenix Downs. 10 of each should be enough. If you
really wanted to you could buy one more Fire, Ice, Lightning and/or Restore
to complete 3 sets of 'basic' Materia, but I don't think it's necessary; I'm
not bothering. Plus, as mentioned, you'll need to save 4000 gil as a reserve.
Now head back down the rope ladder and up the ladder to the left. Follow the
stairs up, it's time to take part in an optional Mini-Game! If you don't
fancy doing these for whatever reason then I suggest you at least consider
doing 7 of them due to the prizes that are up for grabs, or at the very least
2.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - THE 'FORT CONDOR BATTLE' MINI-GAME [
] [
] These Mini-Games are completely optional, and while most of the prizes are [
] fairly boring, some of them are worth getting. After finishing one battle, [
] you will have to wait until you have progressed to a certain trigger point [
] in the main story before you can return to complete the next battle [
] sequence. [
] [
] NOTE - If you miss a battle then the prize you would've won will still be [
] available on your next battle, it's the final prize that you'll [
] be missing out on (if that makes sense). If you complete the first [
] battle for the Magic comb and don't comeback until say, battle [
] eight then you'll still receive the prize for the 2nd battle, the [
] Peace Ring (which is a must have). [
] [
] Here are the prizes you can win in the order that you win them: [
] [
] 1.) Magic Comb (Weapon for Red XIII) [
] 2.) Peace Ring (VERY useful accessory) [
] 3.) Ether (even though it'll say Trincture) [
] 4.) Megalixir [
] 5.) 5 x Potions (Glitch - you actually get 5 x Hi-Potions) [
] 6.) 5 x Potions (Glitch - you actually get 5 x Hi-Potions) [
] 7.) Superball (Weapon for Yuffie) [
] 8.) 3 x Turbo Ethers [
] 9.) 3 x Turbo Ethers [
] 10.) 5 x X-Potions (although the game will indicate otherwise) [
] 11.) 5 x X-Potions (although the game will indicate otherwise) [
] 12.) 5 x X-Potions (although the game will indicate otherwise) [
] 13.) 3 x Elixirs [
] 14.) 3 x Elixirs [
] [
] There is also one final compulsory battle in which you will be rewarded [
] with the Phoenix Materia. Apart from this last battle, you will need 4000 [
] gil in your wallet to play this game. It won�t cost you 4000 however, you [
] just need it in your pocket as reserve. [
] [
] Strategy: [
] [
] It's basically a Point-and-Click strategy type game, it's not too [
] complicated to work out and you really will get the hang of it just by [
] playing it. All I need to say for now is think of it as a rock paper [
] scissors type strategy: [
] [
] 440 gil - Attackers - Beats Beast [
] Loses to Barbarian [
] [
] 440 gil - Defender - Beats Barbarian [
] Loses to Wyvern [
] [
] 520 gil - Shooter - Beats Wyvern [
] Loses to Beast [
] [
] Set up 2/3 groups of each type in clusters as far down the hill as you are [
] able to. Once the battle has started, press R1 a couple of times to speed [
] up the battle, then move your units in to play according to which type of [
] enemy shows. You'll get the hang of it. When the big boss appears at the [
] end have everyone jump him, and don't let an enemy slip by you, keep the [
] bunker covered at all times. [
] [
] NOTE - I'll update you with strategy tips as you play it more. [
] [
] If there are any surviving units on the field after the battle has [
] finished then 200 gil per unit will be refunded back to you, meaning that [
] once you really get the hang of the strategy you'll be able to defeat the [
] Shinra fairly cheaply. [
] [
] If the enemies make it to the bunker then you will have to fight the boss, [
] the CMD. Grand Horn. You will not win the prize if this happens, you must [
] be victorious if you wish to claim the goodies. If you lose any of the [
] first four battles you'll have to fight the CMD Grand Horn Lv19, after [
] that it'll be the CMD Grand Horn Lv25. The final battle would throw you [
] the CMD Grand Horn Lv37: [
] [
] #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~# [
] > ENEMIES: [CMD. [CMD. [CMD. < [
] > GRAND HORN Lv 19] GRAND HORN Lv 25] GRAND HORN Lv 37] < [
] > < [
] > ------Lv: [--------------19] [--------------25] [--------------37] < [
] > ------HP: [------------2000] [------------4000] [------------8000] < [
] > ------MP: [-------------100] [-------------200] [-------------300] < [
] > -----EXP: [-------------200] [-------------400] [-------------800] < [
] > ------AP: [--------------20] [--------------40] [--------------80] < [
] > -----GIL: [------------2400] [------------4800] [------------9600] < [
] > ----DROP: [---Vagyrisk Claw] [----------------] [--Imperial Guard] < [
] #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~# [
] [
] I will make you aware of every-time a new battle is available and the [
] prize that is up for grabs. For now, the prize is the Magic Comb, a Weapon [
] for Red XIII that has DOUBLE GROWTH, meaning any Materia you put on it [
] will earn double the AP! Whack Heal on there, now! [
] [
] For a much more detailed guide see section E.06. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
NOTE - The Vagyrisk Claw is a very elusive item to obtain, and it is very
worth while considering purposely losing one of the first few battles
as to fight the CMD. Grand Horn Lv 19 to obtain one from them.
Once you've finished up at Fort Condor it is now time to recruit an optional
character, Yuffie! To recruit her you must first defeat her, you'll find her
wandering in the forest area on your way to Junon. You may encounter her in
the first battle, it may be the 10th (she has a 1/8 chance of appearing)!.
You ARE going to want to work on Aeris's Limits here, the Capparwire comes in
groups of 5!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - LIMIT BREAK TRAINING No.4 - Junon Area and the Capparwire [
] [
] This is it folks, the first of two great training spots of the game, the [
] Junon Area forests. You'll be able to fight 5 x Capparwire here whilst at [
] the same time obtaining a new character, Yuffie. When you do engage the [
] Mystery Ninja, make sure to have read the section below to find out how to [
] recruit her. You're also going to want to steal as many Boomerangs as [
] possible from the Formulas as these sell for 700 gil each! [
] [
] Try to get Aeris's 2-2 Fury Brand up as soon as possible; the ability to [
] instantly fill up the other 2 players Limit gauge is key to flying through [
] at least the first stage of your character's Limit Levels. Be mindful of [
] her 2-1 though, as it will cure your party members of their Fury Statuses. [
] Make sure to have stocked up on Hypers, Tranquilizers & Phoenix Downs. Use [
] Cloud's All=Restore Combo outside of battle to keep yourselves healed, [
] and should you need to obtain a few Ethers you can steal them from [
] Capparwire. [
] [
] The most important thing here is to remember not to overdo it, as you [
] could be in danger of becoming too over-powered otherwise. Try not to let [
] Cloud get past Lv 20. Also, feel free to revisit the northern cavern of [
] the Mythril Mine if you like, it's almost as good as the forests, plus I [
] kinda like the music there as it reminds me of what's to come. Along the [
] way you should start to level up quite a few pieces of Materia; it's not [
] just about Limits! Lastly, don't forget to manually set the Limit's when [
] your characters level up, it's very easily forgotten. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
TIP - Remember to try out variations of battle strategies - you can try
having one attacking, one defending and one acting passively, or you
could try Physical attacker, Magical attacker and defender...
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - OBTAINING YUFFIE [
] [
] Yuffie can be obtained at almost any area on the World Map where there is [
] forest, and the longer you wait to find her the more likely she is to [
] appear. Meaning, that at this stage in the game we may have to battle for [
] a little while before we get a chance to destroy her. Also note that when [
] Cloud reaches a certain Level Yuffie's level will increase also, so her [
] above stats might not be entirely accurate. [
] [
] Once Yuffie has been defeated you will be taken to a non-World Map screen. [
] DO NOT use the save point, Yuffie will mug you otherwise. In fact, don't [
] even open the Menus. Choose the following dialogue options to recruit [
] Yuffie (any deviation will result in having to battle her again and a loss [
] of gil): [
] [
] 1) �Not Interested.� (2) [
] 2) �.....Petrified.� (1) [
] 3) �Wait a Second!� (2) [
] 4) �....That's right� (1) [
] 5) �Let's hurry on.� (2) [
] [
] If done correctly you will be able to name [YUFFIE], then she will become [
] a member of your team! There are many other areas in which to obtain [
] Yuffie, for a full run down see section E.07. [
] [
] NOTES - When you obtain Yuffie you'll unlock the Shuriken Join Us Trophy. [
] [
] - There is an exploit that can be performed here. Search for [
] 'Yuffie Warping' for more info. [

So, You've obtained Yuffie, you're content with your Limit Levels and now
you're ready to continue with the game. Here is what my players looked like
by the time I was ready to continue:
Cloud: Lv 19 Limit 2-1 Blade Beam
Barret: Lv 17 Limit 2-2 Hammerblow
Tifa: Lv 18 Limit 1-2 Somersault
Aeris: Lv 17 Limit 2-2 Fury Brand
Red XIII: Lv 18 Limit 1-2 Lunatic High
Yuffie: Lv 18 Limit 1-2 Clear Tranquil
Before heading to Junon, consider the following set-up for the Boss battle.
This boss is a flying creature which is why I have Barret and Yuffie, they
are the only characters that can use Attacks on this beast with their long
range weapons. And just in case you hadn't noticed by now, nearly all flying
creatures are weak against Wind and strong against Earth.
1) Cloud - Lv 19 (Back)
Hardedge - All=Restores, Enemy Skill, Sense
Carbon Bangle - Lightning, Poison, Long Range
Protect Vest
2) Yuffie - Lv 18 (Back)
Boomerang - Elemental=Choco/Mog, Heal, Ice
Carbon Bangle - Lightning, Fire, Steal
Talisman
3) Barret - Lv 17 (Back)
Assault Gun - All=Restore
Carbon Bangle - All=Ice, Sense
NOTE - We've now reached a stage in the game I feel where we can start
putting our Long Ranged characters in the back row, if you haven't
already. Also, once we have obtained the 2nd Enemy Skill Materia and
the Manipulate Materia we will be heading back to this area to obtain
a few things.

%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
After the battle you'll have to partake a really boring and pointless mini-
game that involves pressing Square.... then pressing Square again roughly 10
seconds later. Repeat about 6 times.
Once you've finished reviving Priscilla, head back to town and into the
southern house after talking to the NPC outside. After choosing to rest, then
hearing the (mysterious voice) once more, you'll be beckoned by Tifa to see
what's going on outside.
Head up the flight of stairs that all of your comrades are gathered by to
talk to Priscilla. She will be so thankful that you rescued her that she will
give you the [SHIVA MATERIA], a Summon that is best used paired with
Elemental to give ourselves Ice based attacks.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - FORT CONDOR BATTLE No.2 [
] [
] Make your way back over to Fort Condor should you wish to receive a [PEACE [
] RING]. I highly suggest that you obtain this, even if you don't plan on [
] completing anymore Fort Condor battles. You must do this before stepping [
] into the water with Mr Dolphin. Also, make sure to equip Cloud with the [
] Power Wrist as he'll be running back on his own. [
] [
] NOTES - The Peace Ring is slightly glitched. It will read 'Protects [
] against [Berserk/Fury/Sadness]' but it will also protect you from [
] Confusion, and it's the Confusion Status that we really need [
] protecting from later on in the game. If you wish to confirm this [
] for yourself then equip the Peace Ring and go into Status to view [
] your Status immunities. [
] [
] - If you missed this battle, then you'll still be able to get the [
] Peace Ring the next time you partake in a battle. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
After everyone has finished spurring Cloud on head back to the beach to go
swimming with Mr Dolphin. This can be rather tricky if you don't know what
you're doing, luckily you're reading a walkthrough so you shouldn't really
struggle. Unless I decide not to tell you. Hmmmmmm.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - FORT CONDOR BATTLE No.3 [
] [
] This time your reward will be an Ether, even though the game will tell you [
] that you have received a 'Tincture'. You must complete this after getting [
] in the water with Mr Dolphin but before jumping up onto the beam. [
] [
] Remember that the Vagyrisk Claw is extremely difficult to come by, and if [
] wish to obtain one you must fight the CMD. Grand Horn before four battles [
] have taken place. [
] [
] Strategy Update - You'll have to fight more Shinra troops this time, so [
] it may be advisable to slow down the speed gauge then speed it back up [
] accordingly to the situation. Go all out on the offensive, as soon as [
] you see an enemy appear send your troops out to them, don't wait for [
] them to come to you. Remember - If you see a beast send an Attacker, if [
] you see a Barbarian send a Defender and if you see a Wyvern send a [
] Shooter. Lastly, your troops will auto-attack the enemy, you don't have [
] to keep commanding them to attack each turn. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Once you've made it onto the beam (It was the very southern part of the
screen, near the centre btw), climb up the ladder to the left to see a nice
FMV of the Highwind!
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.09 B - Junon (�Stop that stupid horse laugh.�)
--Items - 1/35 Soldier x 2, Mind Source, Luck Source, Power Source,

--Required gil - 6000+
--Extra - 5000 Gil OR 6 x Ether OR 6 x Potion, OR Grenade
Force Stealer OR HP Plus Materia OR Silver Glasses
Head south and then over to the chest to find out that it isn't actually a
chest but a switch to operate the platform. Head down into the compound and
then into the changing room to the NW. After you've gotten changed make sure
to save your game to the east before continuing.
The south east exit leads to a cargo lift that we could go down now but we
wouldn't be allowed to exit at the other end (it leads back to Junon
Harbour). Head west and follow the troops until you have to go through a back
alley. The following mini-game can be rather annoying to get the hang of, a
youtube vid would explain it far better than I can in writing, but I'll give
it a go anyway.

] pushing that will make the TV ratings soar. Ignore the instruction from [
] the other troop, you don't want to run around the back. Just run in a [
] straight line south roughly 1 second after you are told to and start [
] *walking* left when you are roughly in position. Try to start pushing [
] confirm as soon as you can, but don't button bash! Space them out every [
] 3/4 of a second or so. If you time it right the points will shoot up every [
] time you press confirm. [
] [
] Here are the prizes up for grabs: [
] [
] <22% - 1 x Grenade [
] 22% - 39% - 6 x Potions [
] 40% - 50% - 6 x Ethers [
] >50% - 5000 gil [
] [
] If you're struggling with this then just settle for the Ethers. You should [
] have plenty of gil if you've been following my Limit Training advice, I [
] had 11,000 gil at this stage, you can also sell the Ethers for 750 gil [
] each if you're desperate. [
] [
] NOTE - PS4 players - use the D-Pad here. Hold down cancel to run into [
] position, then release cancel to begin walking. Using the analogue [
] stick is too tricky. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
After the parade has finished you'll watch a scene involving Rufus and
Heidegger, then you'll have a multiple choice dialogue option. It doesn't
matter which one you choose, the outcome will be the same.
You will now have to practise for a mini-game that we'll have to play shortly
(yes, FF7 is jam packed full of mini-games).
NOTE - Make sure to have the original controls for this bit. If you had
messed with the controls earlier then you'll have to work out which
command corresponds to which button according to your button
configuration.
Now it' time to do a bit of shopping! Save if you wish and head back into
Upper Junon. I'll number bullet point each shop , 1 being the first shop we
encounter:
1) Materia Shop. Talk to the guy outside to enter, and buy from him a Seal
Materia (3000 gil) and a Revive Materia (3000 gil). You'll want to start
Leveling up Revive straight away. When a player is KO'd, remember that
you can use Revive outside of battle under the 'Magic' sub-menu.
2) Head into the back alley to enter the Weapon Shop. If you've been
following my guide exactly then you should have obtained all but one
of the weapons that are available here (Diamond Pin). Buy what you need to
buy, and don't forget to sell all of your surplus Boomerangs, I had 4 to
sell. There's nothing to do in the basement.
3) Item Shop. Make sure to stock up on a few Phoenix Downs, Hypers &
Tranquilizers here. If you can afford it try to stock up on a few tents
aswell, I left with 4.
4) First head up the stairs and look around for a [1/35 SOLDIER] (does
nothing), a [MIND SOURCE] and a [LUCK SOURCE]. Then head to the top floor
for a [POWER SOURCE] and a [GUARD SOURCE].
Now head back down to the ground floor and talk to the Shinra soldier you
see to descend into Beginner's Hall (Intermediate). GRAB THAT MATERIA!
Pick up the [ENEMY SKILL MATERIA] on the bottom right, then if you wish to
learn more about the games mechanics you can talk to the NPCs here.
NOTE - If you hadn't obtained the free Potion from the NPC at the
beginners hall in Sector 7, then you can obtain it here by talking
to the south-most shimmering NPC. You must have 0 Potions in your
inventory to obtain it mind, which makes it pretty pointless, but
it's handy to know for those looking for a 'perfect game'.
Now head left 4 screens until you come to Lower Junon, ignoring the T fork
along the way. You could talk to the guy at the end of the T fork if you
wanted to find out that the Service lift to the underwater Mako Reactor is
out of service. Note that you won�t need to equip the second Enemy Skill
until you get a bit further ahead in the story.
5) Nothing to do in here other than to talk to some acquaintances.
6) On the ground floor you can rest and save if you like. The second floor
is the Materia Shop but isn't as good as the one we previously visited,
and the top floor is the Accessory shop. Only if you've got the cash
would I suggest buying the Silver Glasses and the Headband for 3000 gil
each, they will help a little bit later on.
7) On the ground floor you'll find a [SPEED SOURCE], and on the second floor
you'll find a [1/35 SOLDIER].
8) Weapon Shop. Not even worth visiting.
Now head back to 6) and save your game, we're about to take part in the
aforementioned mini-game. Head all the way to the west to the docks to give
Rufus one hell of a send-off (possible exaggeration).
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - RUFUS SEND OFF MINI GAME [
] [
] This one is much more simple to explain than the previous mini-game. This [
] time all we must do is press certain buttons as we are instructed to press [
] them. It really couldn't be more simple. Just bear in mind that the 2nd [
] prize is actually the best prize: [
] [
] 0-50 - Silver Glasses [
] 60-90 - HP Plus Materia [
] 100+ - Force Stealer [
] [
] The Force Stealer is a weapon for Cloud that has Double Growth stats and [
] can be purchased very shortly on in the game for 2200 gil. [
] [
] The HP Plus Materia will give you 10% extra HP which will increase by 10% [
] every time it levels up, meaning that we want to start Leveling it up [
] now. Also, it won�t be available until later on in the game (Cosmo [
] Canyon) and will cost 8000 gil. [
] [
] It really is a no brainer, purposely mess up a few commands so that you [
] keep the 'mood' below 100. Unless of course you're not bothered by the [
] extra HP and you'd rather start getting some Double AP from the Force [
] Stealer. Remember that if you'd completed the first Fort Condor mission [
] then you'll already have a Double growth weapon for Red XIII, the Magic [
] Comb. [
] [
] NOTE - Once the game has finished you can make Cloud do some rather funny [
] poses! [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
After the mini-game has finished Heidegger will reward you with your prize.
There's nothing left to do now other than to head into the cargo ship (notice
Red XIII hiding in the background).

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Ether, All Materia, Wind Slash, Ifrit Materia
--Boss - Jenova-BIRTH Lv 25 (White Cape)
Open the chest you see on your left for an [ETHER]. You won�t be able to
grab the All Materia that you see because it is blocked by none other than
Yuffie (if you'd recruited her)! You can talk to all of your comrades here to
affect their feelings towards you, although they'll be in disguise (Best
Bromance - When talking to Yuffie, select option 2, �Nope�, when talking to
Aeris select option 2, �I dunno...�, and when talking to Tifa select option
2, �I don't know�. Make sure to engage in these optional conversations).
Head upstairs and chat to the people on board, you'll eventually find Red
XIII by the save point. There will be a man on the lower left side that is
blocking our way for now. After talking to Red XIII head back down to the
lower deck to talk to Aeris again. When you check upstairs again you'll find
that the man blocking our path has disappeared.
After a small amount of commotion you'll be able to pick your team again.
First choose the same team that you had going into Junon Harbour (Barret &
Yuffie) and remove their Armours and Accessories. Then speak to one of the
characters that you didn't choose to re-assign your party again. I chose Tifa
and Red XIII for the following Boss Battle:
1) Cloud - Lv 20 (Back)
Hardedge - All=Restore, Steal, Shiva
Carbon Bangle - All=Lightning, Long Range (The All is obtained shortly)
Headband
2) Tifa - Lv 18 (Front)
Grand Glove - Elemental=Choco/Mog, Restore, Enemy Skill
Carbon Bangle - All=Ice, HP Plus
Silver Glasses
3) Red XIII - Lv 18 (Front)
Magic Comb - Revive, Heal, Steal
Carbon Bangle - All=Fire, Sense
Power Wrist
You can talk to one of the crew on the top deck here to shop for Potions &
Phoenix Downs and also to restore your HP/MP for 250 gil. When you are set up
head back to the lower decks and grab the [ALL MATERIA] that was previously
blocked by Yuffie (or not). Equip this to Cloud if you're going with my
advised set-up, then head through the previously blocked door to the north.
Once inside the Control room you will encounter enemies. Use the Seal Materia
to send the Marine to sleep then steal a few Shinra Betas from them; a piece
of Armour that has 4 Materia slots but weak Magic Defence. Equip them if you
want and then fill up your new slots with Materia as to keep them Leveling up.
Before talking to the Red Captain, head up the ladder and follow the cat walk
round to a chest containing the [WIND SLASH], a weapon for Yuffie that has
Double Growth! Then make your way back around and down the ladder. Make sure
you have stolen a few Shinra Betas before continuing, then heal up then talk
the Captain to engage in a Boss Battle with an abnormal sound track!

%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
After the Battle has finished you will have the option to let Cloud explain
the story to date. Before leaving, GRAB THAT MATERIA! the [IFRIT MATERIA],
then head out of the Control room to finally arrive at Costa Del Sol. If you
missed Ifrit here then you *won't* get another opportunity to obtain it. (Did
anyone else notice that Sephiroth's speech boxes had no name above them?
Strange...)

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Power Source, Fire Ring, Motor Drive
--Required gil - 1150
When you regain control of Cloud head into the Villa across the bridge. You
can talk to the owner here to find out that he is selling the place and will
offer to sell it to you for a whopping 300,000 gil! Obviously we can't afford
it now, but when we do eventually buy it we will be able to sleep here for
free (hardly seems worth it). Head downstairs to rob some items, a [POWER
SOURCE], a [FIRE RING], and a [MOTOR DRIVE] which is a Double Growth weapon
for Tifa!
NOTE - A few scenes here will play out slightly differently depending on who
is and isn't in your party at the minute. Also, you could buy a few
Platinum Bangles from the guy in the bar (to the left), or you could
wait to steal them a little later on. They do have Double Growth
slots, so you may wish to buy a few now to start reaping their
rewards..
You can have a look around now if you want, enter the house next to Red XIII
(interact with the ball for jokes) and you can talk to (Johnny) once more.
Back outside you can talk to the girl behind the counter next to the Inn to
buy some Softs. I recommend stocking up on a minimum of 6.
Head down to the beach when you're ready to talk to a certain somebody, then
head out of Costa Del Sol to the World Map by heading underneath the bridge
in the previous screen. Set yourselves up with whoever you see fit, I'm
taking Aeris & Yuffie.
NOTE - We are going to be obtaining our first Lv4 Limit Break item quite
soon on - the Great Gospel for Aeris, so she'll be staying in my team
for now. I want to get her to Limit Level 3 asap. Here was my set-up
heading out:
1) Cloud - Lv 20 (Front)
Hardedge - All=Restore, Earth, Steal
Shinra Beta - All=Lightning, Cover, Cover
Talisman
2) Aeris - Lv 18 (Back)
Striking Staff - Elemental=Choco/Mog, Seal, Enemy Skill
Shinra Beta - All=Poison, HP Plus, Long Range
Power Wrist
3) Yuffie - Lv 19 (Back)
Wind Slash - Revive, Heal, Restore
Shinra Beta - All=Ice, Sense, Steal
Protect Vest
Start making your way south west towards the river then follow the winding
path right and then over a bridge until eventually you'll wind up at the
entrance to Mt. Corel. Note that whilst crossing the bridge you may encounter
the Needle Kiss and/or Cokatolis as noted below.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Wizard Staff, W Machine Gun, Star Pendant, Turbo Ether, Transform
Materia, Phoenix Down x 10, Tent, Mind Source, Power Source
As you enter you'll see a man sitting by a rock. Talk to him to learn that
Sephiroth has passed through this way. As you make your way forward you'll
come across another Mako Reactor, it is here that you will encounter the
Bagnadrana, so make sure to steal a Diamond Pin from it (steal a few, they
sell for 650 gil).
In the next screen along you can make your way around and back to the open
area near the reactor if you want, but there really is nothing to do there.
Instead, head along the bridge to the next screen to find a save point.
As you progress you will be prompted to press confirm to jump across a gap in
the tracks. *Don't jump*. Instead, allow yourself to fall and as you are
falling rapidly press confirm whilst holding Left and you will land on the
side containing the [WIZARD STAFF] (Double Growth weapon for Aeris). The next
time you fall tap confirm and hold Right for the [STAR PENDANT]. There are
three of these falls in total so if you do mess one up you will get one extra
chance.
Head to the upper tracks first to find a chest containing a Double Growth
weapon for Barret, the [W MACHINE GUN]. Then head back down to the lower set
of tracks and as you progress you'll be able to double back to pick up the
[TURBO ETHER] and the [TRANSFORM MATERIA].
Now head along the upper right path. If you were to take the lower path you
could to talk to your team mates to PHS if you wanted. Head along upper the
bridge and into the small shack to operate the lower bridge.
Before heading back, climb up the side wall that *isn't* indicated with a
green arrow. It's just to the south and on the right from where the shack
was, and you'll hear chirping when you're in the right place. Here you will
have the option to leave or take some treasure. If you take the treasure you
will have to fight a Cokatolis. Your companions will dislike you for it but
you will receive 10 [PHOENIX DOWN'S] (note that their affection rating isn't
affected by this action)!
Now head back to the previous screen and make your way to the lower side of
the tracks. Then head to the right side of the screen and take the left fork,
then follow it round to find a well hidden crevice containing a [TENT], [MIND
SOURCE] and a [POWER SOURCE].
Now make your way back and take the right fork to find yourself on a long
bridge. Watch out for the bomb here, he has a suicide move that can do a lot
of damage. Try to steal a few Right Arms from them, they will prove
invaluable later on. I left with 5. Head south to the other side of the
bridge to enter into North Corel.
After a rather rude greeting, we'll be able to talk to the guys behind the
counters on the lower left. Here is where we can buy the Force Stealer for
Cloud if you didn't win it from Heidegger at the Rufus send-off. Stock up on
a few Cornucopias and Maidens Kiss's, and if you like you can sleep for 50
gil on the top level. Feel free to sell any surplus Diamond Pins that you
have.
NOTE - Thanks to Ultimate Steve for this one. There is an extremely obscure
item hidden here that very few know about. Enter the far right house.
See the vase on the top right corner? You have to wait for the woman
on the left to move, then stand next to her and when she moves again
she will walk around you leaving you free to search the vase for an
[ETHER].
When you're ready, head outside to the World Map by heading east, then save
your game. There's nothing to do out here just yet, so after you've saved
head back through North Corel to the left to arrive at the rope-way station
to the Gold Saucer. Listen to Barret's story, then hop on the cart for a cool
FMV!
NOTE - If you wanted to, you could make your way out to obtain the Aqualung
Enemy Skill, but there wouldn't be much need (especially if you had
obtained Beta). Aqualung is a powerful Water based attack, and if you
were interested in learning it early then skip down to section D1.12
A to learn how (the 'Desert' can be found directly south of North
Corel).

--Required gil - 3000
--Extra - Silver Armlet (recruit equipment), Manipulate Materia
(recruit equipment), Transform Materia (recruit equipment)
Welcome to the Gold Saucer. The entrance fee is 3000 gil, or you can buy a
lifetime pass for 30,000 gil. I'm expecting you to not have a spare 30,000
knocking about, so just buy the single pass for now. Note that like many
things in the Gold Saucer, you have to pay for the save point using GP. GP
being the currency used here and it is obtained either by playing arcade
games in the Wonder Square or by winning at the Chocobo Races.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - CONVERTING GIL INTO GP EASILY [
] [
] Very uncommonly you'll see a man standing beside the save point who will [
] convert 100 gil into 1 GP, with a maximum of 100 GP for 10,000 gil. To [
] save any confusion, this man will NOT appear until you are at a certain [
] point on Disk 2. A lot of people tend to waste time here running back and [
] forth from screen to screen trying to make him appear on Disk 1, all in [
] vein. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
As you enter into the foyer you'll have some dialogue to read, then Barret'll
storm off through the Wonder Square portal. Pick one character that you'd
like to accompany you then follow Barret through the giant hole to the Wonder
Square (Best Bromance - Speak to Tifa first then choose not to go with her.
it doesn't matter who you choose after that, so long as you have declined
Tifa first. Only speak to Tifa first if you've been following my guide to the
very letter, if you've made a few mistakes then talk to Aeris first and tell
her not to go with you).
NOTE - There is a lot to do in the Gold Saucer, and when the time is right I
will guide you through to all of the places of interest. For now
however this is going to be a relatively short visit.
When we get to the Wonder Square We'll meet a new character [CAIT SITH]. Once
he has joined your party you can look at his Materia to see that you have now
obtained the Manipulate Materia! Yesss. Feel free to head further into the
Wonder Square, there are a number of mini-games to play here. Again, we will
be visiting this area more in depth a little later on.
NOTE - If you can master the Super Dunk game now you can save a bit of time
later on. Try to save up as much GP as possible, you'll need it for
the Battle Square (If you happen to be using an emulator you can
quite easily rack up loads of GP very quickly here due to the fact
that you'd be able save and load your state. You could also then buy
the Golden Ticket from the clerk by the Arm Wrestling machine).
You can (optionally) head over to the Speed Square to speak to the owner of
the Gold Saucer to learn a few things about our adversary. Then head over to
the Battle Square and after a few scenes have played out you will get thrown
down the Gateway To Heaven (why couldn't Cloud have just used Bolt?).

| and can be quite hard to |

| a Turbo Ether or two. Make Sure to steal a few Platinum Bangles from the |
| Death Claw as it is a piece of armour that has Double Growth! Make sure to |
| have both Enemy Skills equipped so you can learn Laser - a move that will |
| lessen an opponent's HP by half. You can also learn Matra Magic for your |
| second E-Skill. Lastly, try to steal a few X-Potions from the Bullmotor, |
| they'll come in handy for later. |
| |
| NOTE - Various sources suggest that one can encounter a Griffon here, not |
| to be confused with the Griffin that can be fought it the Cosmo |
| area. I myself have never seen one, but if someone can confirm for |
| me that they are indeed found here then be sure to let me know and |
| I will update this section. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Boss - Dyne Lv 23 (Silver Armlet)
What a terrible judicial system the Gold Saucer has! No trial or nothing!?!
Now that we have seen what Barret may be capable of, it's time to find out
what his side of the story is. Head south to have a quick moment with the
troubled fella, then follow him south to the next screen.
Unless you're planning to use Cait Sith, I suggest removing his Silver
Armlet. If you wanted to you could head into the lorry to the south to have a
quick chat with Mr Coates about possibly leaving the prison, and you can also
rest up in the cab of the truck for free. Head into the south eastern house
to buy a few items, and when you're ready to continue head into the larger
house just north of the previous one (this happens to be the same house from
the flashback).
Now you'll see another flashback that will uncover certain truths to the
whole story. Select your 3rd party member then set yourselves up something
like this: (Note that you can talk to your other team mates to re-select your
party) (Best Bromance - choose Red XIII to accompany you and Barret. *DO NOT*
choose Aeris, as she gains a huge boost if you do, and you'll have completely
ruined your progress so far)
1) Cloud - Lv 21 (Front)
Hardedge - All= Fire, Revive, Heal
Shinra Beta - All=Restore, Earth, Steal
Talisman
2) Red XIII - Lv 20 (Back)
Diamond Pin - Elemental=Shiva, Seal, Enemy Skill
Silver Armlet - All=Lightning, Manipulate, Long Range
Power Wrist
3) Barret - Lv 19 (Front)
Atomic Scissors - Poison, Restore, HP Plus, Steal
Shinra Beta - All=Ice, Enemy Skill, Sense
Protect Vest
NOTES - Make sure that Barret doesn't have the empty Enemy Skill equipped.
- The southern house has a bar where you can buy a few worthless
items. It's not really worth visiting.
Once you're all set make your way north. Here you'll see a well, you can take
a look inside if you wish but there's not much to see other than an empty
chest. The skeleton that you see here is actually the remains of a the 'Test
0' enemy. This well was basically a testing ground for the Developers, and in
the original Japanese version you could still fight these test enemies here;
they had extremely high amounts of HP and would not attack. There is also a
very weird looking hidden 'Red Man' hiding in the background layers of the
graphics. Trivia over.
You'll have a choice in which way to go next; take the left path to continue
on with the story (scrapyard), or take the right path to engage in some
optional battles with the Land Worm to try and steal some Turbo Ethers, and
the Cactuar to try and earn some gil (10,000 per battle). Note that after a
dozen screens or so a Chocobo carriage will appear to take you back to the
central prison. Also, you may end up randomly appearing at the scrapyard
(left path).
NOTE - Once you have finished up with Corel Prison you will never be able to
return to it. You will however be able to return to the desert to
fight the Land Worm and Cactuar again, so if you don't want to battle
them now then that's fine. You can come back once you have obtained
the Enemy Skills Big Guard and White Wind. The scrapyard cannot be
revisited),
Take the left path and then follow the fence through the opening to the north
of the fissure to wind up in the scrapyard. Do not go into the next screen
until you have obtained all of the Steals and Enemy Skills that you plan to
obtain (Platinum Bangle, Laser and Matra Magic). Remember you can manipulate
your foes to make them cast the spell of your choice, on the party member of
your choice. If you don't get the Laser E-Skill here then you won�t be able
to obtain it until you reach disk 3, and you really are going to want to
learn it here as it depletes an enemies HP by 50%.
NOTE - As with the Steal Materia, the Manipulate has a higher chance of
success the higher the users Lv is.
If you'd set up Barret as I'd advised earlier then you shouldn't need to swap
anything around, otherwise bear in mind that the following Boss battle is a
Barret only battle, so make sure Barret has the 'better' Enemy Skill
equipped, and that he has full HP. Head north and you'll engage with one of
Barret's old friends. Unfortunately, things don't quite turn out for the best.

--D1.11 C - Chocobo Racing to Freedom! (�Why don't you get his autograph?�)
--Items - Ramuh Materia
Once the battle has finished you'll have a few touching scenes followed by
an amount of dialogue including a lesson on how to ride Chocobos. When you
finally regain control of Cloud in the Jockey's room, GRAB THAT MATERIA!
You'll be able to make out the shining [RAMUH MATERIA] at the top right of
the screen (grab it). We now have a Lightning based Summon, hoo-rah(muh)! If
you missed it here then it is lost forever and you'll have to reload your
save.
After all the Jockeys have left Ester will come and grab you to enter you
into the race. You can listen again on how to ride a Chocobo, or you can
listen to my expert advice:
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - CHOCOBO RACING [
] [
] The main thing to remember is to keep R1+R2 held down at all times, this [
] will gradually refill your Stamina bar. As soon as the race begins press [
] Select to gain manual control of the Chocobo, then press Square a number [
] of times until he is running as fast as he can go. With R1+R2 held down he [
] should still be regaining Stamina, so every now and then hold down O in [
] short bursts to sprint, making sure to save enough for the final dash. [
] Once you and Number 2 have crossed the finish line you can press Start to [
] end the race. It really isn't too hard, but if you do lose you will be [
] able to try again until you win. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
After the race you'll be told that there is a gift waiting for us... A buggy
(along with the Chocochampion Trophy)! We can now cross Deserts and Rivers!
That, accompanied by the fact that we now have the Manipulate Materia means
that there is a world of side-quests for us to now do! Bear in mind that you
can still engage in random battles whilst driving around in your buggy.

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| The Harpy can be found if you have the Chocobo Lure Materia equipped and |
| you are on Chocobo tracks. It can also be found by driving in your buggy |
| around the desert. The joker has a move that can kill you in one, so watch |
| out. If you were to explore the beaches you would find Beachplugs & |
| Grangalans. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
From leaving the Desert, head east towards the peninsula that contains
Chocobo tracks. Make sure to have the Chocobo Lure Materia equipped and
battle around until you meet the Harpy (or alternatively you could just drive
around in the desert on the World Map). They are reasonably powerful, you can
Manipulate it if you like, or just wait for it to cast Aqualung. Make sure to
have both Enemy Skills equipped, and make sure to have full HP as Aqualung
could take you out in one hit.
NOTE - There are only two magic spells that we can cast that are water
based, Aqualung being one of them and the other being the Leviathan
(Summon) Materia.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.12 B - Obtaining The Enemy Skill Big Guard
--Enemies - Beachplug
Now head to the Beach Area either near the Desert or near Costa Del Sol to
fight with the Beachplugs. Manipulate one and then have it cast Big Guard on
you.
This is probably one of the best Enemy Skills in the game. It will cast
Haste, Barrier & MBarrier on all of your players! Although at 56MP it may
seem a little pricey, eventually you'll get to a point where the cost won�t
seem so steep. When your players have levelled up you'll find yourself using
this move more and more often.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.12 C - Obtaining The Mythril
--Items - Mythril, Bolt Ring
Head north over the river to head back to Costa Del Sol. Drive your buggy
straight into Costa from the World Map, then head back to the harbour. Talk
to the guy you see in front of the ship and he'll charge you 100 gil to stow
you (and your buggy) back to Junon.
Once at Junon head right one screen to talk to the air conductor flapping his
arms about. He'll call in a helicopter that'll take you all the way to the
World Map for free!. Now make your way back to the forest area we were
training in before, then cross the river that you see. Keep heading north
east to come to a cave.
Inside this cave is the Sleeping Man. Talk to him for a random game stat. The
stat we're after is our battle count. If he tells you something else then run
out then back in again to hear him give us a different stat. When I came here
he told me that I'd fought 193 times.
If the last two digits are the same he'll give you one of two prizes, the
prize depends on whether the last two digits are odd or even. If they are
even then he will give you the [BOLT RING] which is an accessory that
nullifies Lightning attacks and can be bought again later on disk 2. You will
not receive the Bolt Ring if the last two digits are 00, and he will not give
you more than one.
If the last two digits are odd then he'll give you the Mythril, which is what
we came here for. If you got lucky and you are nearer to your kills being odd
as opposed to even then you don't have to battle around for the Bolt Ring
unless you really want to, it's not that great of an accessory. The Mythril
will be used a little later on to obtain an incredibly valuable item.
NOTE - If you want to complete your inventory list, but don't want to battle
around for ages then know that you'll be able to buy one from Mideel
on Disk 2.
Whilst battling around to get your kill count up you're going to want to do
some Limit Training in the nearby forests. If your kill count is way out,
then read below to obtain the Enemy Skills White Wind & Flamethrower, just
make sure not to forget about your kill count.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.12 D - Obtaining The Enemy Skill White Wind
--Enemies - Zemzelett
Whilst battling around you're going to want to learn White Wind from the
Zemzelett right outside the Sleeping Man's cave. Manipulate it then have it
cast White wind, a move that'll heal all of your party members and clear them
of any Statuses all for 34MP, a very valuable Enemy Skill indeed!
NOTE - The amount of HP healed is equal to the casters current HP. So in
other words, always have the person with the highest HP cast White
Wind. Also, casting White Wind on Undead creatures will not only harm
them but will also Petrify them, which is nice to know.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.12 E - Fort Condor Battle No. 4
This time your reward will be 1 Megalixir. Be warned, the battles are
starting to get a little bit tougher now. Make sure to stock up on an few
Tents, Hypers and Tranquilizers before heading out. This will become
unavailable once you set foot in Cosmo Canyon.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.12 F - Obtaining The Enemy Skill Flamethrower
--Enemies - Ark Dragon
You should have already obtained this once so you'll know where to get it
from. Note that the Ark Dragon only appears in the northern rooms of the
Mythril Mines.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.12 G - Obtaining The Enemy Skill Beta
--Boss - Midgar Zolom Lv 26
If you've already beaten the Zolom before then you should find it much,
much easier now, especially seeing as you have Laser which will drop its HP
by 50%. You're still going to want to take the following precautionary
measures:
1) Make sure to have filled everyone's Limit gauge up all the way.
Manipulating an Ark Dragon and using Flamethrower is the best way to do
this.
2) Make sure to have given everyone Tranquilizers to inflict them with
Sadness. This will make them take 30% less damage, which is crucial.
3) Make sure to have the Fire Ring equipped and Elemental=Fire on someone's
armour. It's the only way to survive Beta unless you have Aeris's 3-1.
4) Make sure *not* to have both Enemy Skill Materias attached to one person
if one of the Enemy Skills has already learned Beta.
5) Make sure to have everyone in the back row.
This is the set-up I had:
1) Cloud - Lv 23 (Back)
Force Stealer - Revive, Heal, Ice
Shinra Beta - All=Restore, Poison, Enemy Skill
Fire Ring
2) Red XIII - Lv 21 (Back)
Diamond Pin - All=Restore, Sense, Lightning
Silver Armlet - Elemental=Fire, HP Plus, Long Range
Talisman
3) Barret - Lv 20 (Back)
W Machine Gun - Seal, Transform, Earth
Silver Armlet - All=Lightning, Ice, Sense
Power Wrist
Some of the Materia are equipped just for the sake of equipping them. Use a
Tent and then save!

* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
Once the battle is done remember to relieve you players of their Sadness. The
reason that they're sad is because we can't cross the marsh to learn L4
Suicide from Mu, unless of course you're prepared to defeat the Zolom
multiple times, which isn't too difficult in all honesty, I was able to make
it across within three battles.
Just as a reference, here is the Materia set-up that I had after battling the
Midgar Zolom:
1) Cloud - Lv 24 (Front)
Force Stealer - Earth, Revive, Heal
Shinra Beta - All=Restore, Fire, Steal
Talisman
2) Tifa - Lv 21 (Back)
Grand Glove - Elemental=Shiva, Long Range, Transform
Silver Armlet - All=Lightning, Enemy Skill, Manipulate
Power Wrist
3) Red XIII - Lv 21 (Front)
Magic Comb - Poison, Steal, HP Plus
Silver Armlet - All=Restore, Enemy Skill, Sense
Protect Vest

Make your way back to Junon in your buggy and drive into the Town. You can
rest for free in the house on the left as you enter, you could also ride on
the back Mr Dolphin all the way to the Cargo Ship. If you did that then you
would be missing out on an amazing training spot!
Head to the main elevator shaft and pay the guy there 100 gil to ride it to
the top. SAVE YOUR GAME! We're about to fight some of the hardest enemies
available at this point in the game. Keep heading west until you come to the
T Fork. Head west to see a bunch of Shinra being drilled. To the left of them
is a red panel, activate it to set off the alarm. You can now fight the Death
Machine and the Slalom.
The important thing here is not to over-kill it, I only stayed for 3-4
battles or so. If you experience grind too much now then you'll just end up
becoming over powered, subsequently making the game way too easy. This is an
excellent way to level up your Materia though, the Slaloms comes in 3's which
will give you 210AP per battle, that's 420 if you've equipped a Double Growth
weapon! That's Crazy AP for where we are in the game. Make sure to try to
steal as many Smoke Bombs as you can, they'll massively help for the Battle
Square at the Gold Saucer. I left with 4.
If you like you can also take the tram that Rufus and Heidegger rode up on
earlier, but there really is nothing much to see up there. When you're ready
to continue, head over to the Cargo Ship to ride to Costa Del Sol Once more.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.12 I - Stealing a Turbo Ether or Two
--Enemies - Land Worm, Cactuar
Now that we have the Enemy Skills Big Guard and White wind it would be
advisable to consider heading back into Corel Desert on your buggy to try to
steal some more Turbo Ethers from the Land Worms. You don't have to steal
bucket loads, it's just good to stock up on a few of these now seeing as they
cannot be bought from any shop. I left with 7. Have someone Manipulate it
while someone else casts Big Guard and you should be able to steal these with
ease.
You can always return here once you've been to the Gold Saucer and acquired
the Champion Belt, an accessory which will give us +30 Strength and +30
Vitality! Remember to equip the Elemental=Shiva combo and you'll be
destroying these Land Worms with ease!
NOTES - I'm using Shiva as opposed to Ice due to the fact that Ice will give
you a -1 Strength penalty whereas Shiva will not.
- If you come across a Cactuar, smile, they drop 10,000 gil, which
will massively help a little later on. Cast L4 Suicide on them.
Once you've had enough simply run for 12 screens or so and eventually a
Chocobo Cart will escort you back to your buggy on the World Map.
(Thanks to PMMCL for this Turbo Ether trick, I wouldn't have known about it
otherwise.)
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.12 J - Gold Saucer Stuff
--Items - Umbrella, Champion Belt, Enemy Lure Materia, Sprint Shoes
--Extra - Turtle Paradise Poster #3
For now, I'll only go into a short amount of detail regarding each section
of the Gold Saucer. I'll make sure to include everything you need to know for
know, but if you want a complete rundown then visit section E.08. As a
reminder, head north from Corel Desert to find North Corel, then head through
the ropeway to get to the Gold Saucer (remember about the map section F.02).
Before heading into the Gold Saucer strip everyone down of their Materia and
Armour, then set Cloud up like this:
Cloud - Lv 25 (Back)
Force Stealer - Heal, Restore, Enemy Skill
Silver Armlet - All=Lightning, HP Plus, Long Range
White Cape
The White Cape and Poisona will come in handy for the Battle Square, and I'm
only using the Force Stealer because it has the best stats; the Double Growth
matters not.
Now rest up at North Corel so that you enter into the Gold Saucer with full
HP/MP. Head up the rope-way and pay the 3000 gil to get inside (unless you
obtained a Gold Ticket earlier, highly doubtful. If you do have over 30,000
gil, I suggest holding onto it for the shops at Cosmo Canyon).
The thing to point out is that the main reason we are here is to claim the
prizes that are available at the Battle Square. The only problem is that we
have to pay GP to fight as opposed to gil (10GP a fight). The other problem
is that once we leave the Battle Square our BP (Battle Points) become
invalid. Meaning, we'll have to make sure to have saved up enough GP prior to
entering the Battle Square, and making sure that we have enough time to
acquire what we're after in one sitting (roughly 1 & a half hours).
Before we get to the Battle Square, I'd like to give you a quick description
of the other areas there are to visit:
Chocobo Square - Pop in, have a look, pop right back out again. If you like
you can put a quick bet on but you'll soon realise why it's pointless
coming here now. The Chocobo races only become worthwhile once you've
obtained your own Chocobos, which won�t be until Disk 2. Note that there
are certain Materia's that can only be obtained within the Chocobo
Square, the only one that is available to us now being the Enemy Away
Materia. And the chances of us getting this now are sooo slim...
Also note that the Chocobo Races are the only way to gain GP at the moment
other than the Wonder Square, so if you get tired of the Super Dunk game
then you could always try your luck here!
UPDATE - I have worked out a formula that has a 40% chance of winning a
bet at the Chocobo races. Use QSI Link [Chocobo Square] for
more details.
Ghost Square - This is basically the scariest hotel you'll ever spend the
night in. Here you can rest for 5 GP, you can stock up on a few items and
you can also read the [Turtle Paradise Poster #3]. Make sure to read
this.
Round Square - Nothing much to do here other than to waste 3GP on a ride
that will show you the sights of The Gold Saucer. Don't bother, it's a
waste of time.
Speed Square - This is where you'll want to go if you've got any left over
GP. for 10GP you can play a roller coaster shoot-em-up game where you have
to shoot flying targets for points. If you score over 3000 points then
you'll receive either a Super Sweeper, 1/35 Soldier or a Masamune Blade.
All of which are completely useless and do absolutely nothing.
If you are just that good enough however, and you can score 5000+ then you
will receive the [UMBRELLA], a weapon for Aeris that has very high attack
power, but no Materia slots. You have to be insatiably skilled (or using
an emulator) to pull that off though, you have to hit almost every single
target. Tip for the space ship at the end - just keep tapping confirm
without letting your bar run down more than an eighth (or less) and he
should pop right at the last second for 1000 points. There are a few
targets remaining after him aswell. A youtube would help here more than I
could, nevertheless, see section E.08 G for more details.
NOTES - PS4/PC users - you can shoot something called the Zeppelin
propeller to gain a crazy amount of points! It appears to the
right just after the giant red 'frog' type thing, and can be
quite hard to hit.
- There is a glitch that occurs on the PS4 version that involves
you getting stuck at the giant UFO part. If this happens, you
must change the PS4's system clock to a date *after* 5th Dec
2015, but before 1st Jan 2016. This should fix the glitch (it
did with me). Thank you Elatreus for finding the fix!
Additionally, you don't have to quit the game first, you can
change the system's clock whilst 'stuck', and when you re-open
the application you'll become un-stuck (not 100% confirmed;
works for some).
Event Square - This is where shows and concerts are held, and right now
there's a phat lot of nothing going on.
Wonder Square - This is where the GP will be coming from for now. The most
efficient way of gaining GP is with the Super Dunk game, but I think I'll
give you a very quick rundown of the games that are on offer:
Arm Wrestling - You earn 1 GP for beating the Sumo Wrestler and 2GP for
beating the Wrester. Complete waste of time.
NOTE - Talk to the woman standing next to the Arm Wrestling machine to
exchange your GP for prizes (if you wanted to). There will be more
prizes available later on in the game, for now the only item of
interest is the Golden Ticket (300GP), but to be honest you'd be
better of saving your GP for the Battle Square and buying the Golden
Ticket for 30,000 gil later on. the '??????' prize is a Carob Nut
which is very easily obtained elsewhere.
Super Dunk -
This is where the real grind wants to come from. You'll very quickly
get the hang of what to do here, just hold down O for roughly half a
second and then release. I find it easier to maintain the zone by not
concentrating on the game at all, I'll be reading my E-Mails on my
phone in one hand while pressing O with the other. I've managed to
chain the maximum of 44 a few times this way, netting a nice 300GP
each time. This takes quite a bit of practise though..
NOTE - Thank xPsychoMantis a huge amount for this!
Go to https://www.metronomeonline.com/ and set it to 120 BPM. It
will take a while to get used to but eventually you will start to
find a rhythm where you'll be scoring every time. It also helps
greatly if you mute the Gold Saucer backing music. Simply push O
for one beat. Try not to over think it; in fact try to think
about something else while you are playing. Look away from the
screen and nod your head slightly to the beep, but don't close
your eyes.
Another way to master the Super Dunk is to look at the ball in
relation to Cloud's front hair-spike.
Wonder catcher -
Again, complete waste of time (almost).
G-Bike -
(You guessed it) This is basically the same game as the one we played
whilst escaping from Midgar, only now when we take out the other
bikers we gain points. The first time you play this you will always
receive a Speed Source, so it is highly recommended that you play at
least once. You'll receive 2GP for scoring 5000+ and 10GP for scoring
10,000+.
PS4 players - score 10,500 or more to unlock the Corel's Angel Trophy.
Crystal Fortune -
This will tell you something that is relevant to your current
progression in the story, and will change every time you hit a
certain trigger point in the game.
Mog's House -
Complete this game and you'll receive 30GP, but only once. You'll get
no reward for completing it a second time. It's fairly simple really,
you just have to keep feeding Mog until his belly stops rumbling (5
nuts). Then do it again (3 nuts). Viola! Make sure to talk to the
girl standing by the machine to claim your prize.
3D Battler -
Rock, Paper, Scissors type game that can be incredibly difficult to
beat. Defeating the 2nd guy nets you 3GP, the 3rd guy 30GP and the
4th guy 300GP, but he's that notoriously difficult to beat that the
5th guy is more of a joke than an opponent, he's completely invisible
and cannot be beaten.
Battle Square - As previously mentioned, your BP will remain valid until you
leave the Battle Square. So, before heading into the Battle Square, make
sure to have saved up a decent whack of GP, I'd say 150-200 should be
plenty, and make sure to have saved your game aswell (using the save point
at the entrance to the Gold Saucer that costs 5GP). If you mess up and
run out of GP whilst falling a few thousand BP short of the required
amount (46,080), then the last thing you want is to have to accumulate
all of that hard earned GP again.
NOTE - Use QSI Link [Battle Square] to view an in-depth explanation to
everything the Battle Square has to offer.
MAKE SURE to talk to the woman standing at the bottom of the stairs
leading up to the Battle Square, she'll say 'I like fighters, but not
ones that are all talk'. Make sure that she has said this.
To fight at the Battle Square you must first pay 10GP, then you'll be
placed into 8 consecutive battles receiving random handicaps after each
battle. The higher the handicap, the higher the BP reward, but only the
final two really make an impact on your overall BP. The enemies here are
all ones we've faced before, and none of them pose much of a threat. For
a full listings of which enemies are likely to appear look in section
E.08 D. Just note that the enemies will increase in difficulty eventually,
so it's worth taking advantage now of the weaker enemies now.
The main thing to point out is that for the first 6 fights you're going
to want to try to get the easiest handicaps, but for the final two you
are going to want to try to get the more extreme handicaps. if you see
'All Materia Broken' pop up then try to get it, you'll get 10,000BP if you
do so on the final battle. 'Magic Materia Broken' will also net you
decent amount. Avoid 'Cure' or 'Lucky Seven' on your final 2 fights.
Also, a handicap can appear more than once, so don't try to save the
'best' handicaps for later as the h/cap that you get will have no affect
whatsoever on the following reel; it's all scripted in from the beginning.
NOTE - You can slow the reels down by tapping square.
If you were able to steal some Smoke Bombs earlier from the Slaloms then
you could use them to escape from the Battle Arena whilst retaining all
of you BP. This is particularly useful if you're on the final battle,
you've received the 'All Materia Broken', you're up against a Harpy and
you think you may lose. Try to have beaten all 8 battles at least once,
however.
NOTE - Using a Smoke Bomb will constitute as an escape, so if you're
looking for that 'perfect game', then don't use them (the
sleeping man that gives us the Mythril will tell you your escape
count).
When in battle cast Big guard straight away. Even though the Barrier and
MBarrier will run out quite quickly, the Haste effect will last for the
whole 8 fights. The enemies will have more HP than before and will
deliver more damage, so watch your HP. If you'd equipped the White Cape
earlier as advised then you don't have to worry about the Frog/Small
Status ruining your day. If you find that all of your attacks are missing
for some reason then it's probably because you've been Fury'd by the Sword
Dance and you need to use a Tranquilizer (or cast White Wind).
If you get the 'All Materia Broken' or 'Independent (Purple) Materia
Broken' handicap then remember to change Cloud into the front row (if you
had placed him in the back previously). Then, Unless you're planning on
healing I suggest just holding down confirm, you'll auto-attack that way
without wasting any time. Make sure to have full health when fighting the
Harpy aswell, his Aqualung can take you out in one hit of you're not
careful. If you were able to accumulate any Right Arms earlier from the
Bombs then they will prove useful here as they will hit all enemies for
very high damage. Lastly, any Enemy Skills that you learned within the
Battle Square will not keep.
You need to save up a total of 46,080BP, 40,960BP for the Champion
Belt, an Accessory that will really turn the tide in your favour, and
5120BP for the Enemy Lure Materia which will make grinding A LOT quicker
down the line as 2 mastered versions of these will stack with each other.
I suggest using any leftover BP on buying a few Shrapnels which will
really help out when certain handicaps have removed our ability to
damage all opponents. We shall return later on to get the Pre-Emptive
Materia and the Speed Plus Materia. The Fury Ring can be bought a little
later on. The items used whilst battling within the Battle Square are
perishable btw, but your HP and MP will reset back to whatever they were
before you went into the battle. Also, if you were to steal an item
whilst in the Battle Square then it would keep once the battle has
finished.
If you were able to win all 8 battles then on your way out make sure to
talk to the woman at the bottom of the stairs again and she will be so
impressed that you were able to beat the Battle Arena that she will
reward you with the [SPRINT SHOES], an EXTREMELY useful accessory that
will automatically put a character into Haste!
There will be a new set of prizes up for grabs quite soon in the game, for
now though just try to obtain the Champion Belt (if you're feeling really
ambitious try to get two!) and the Enemy Lure Materia, then you're good to
go. If you have got some left over GP then you don't have to worry about
using it now, it will still be there when you next return to the Gold Saucer
(unlike BP). You may however wish to try your skills at the Speed Square, if
you are super-hot at it then maybe you could score 5000 and win the Umbrella
for Aeris? Otherwise, time to pack up and move onto the next side quest.
Oh, and one last thing, now that you can give +30 Strength to someone equip
them with Elemental=Shiva and fight a few Land Worms to steal a few Turbo
Ethers. Equip Cloud (or whoever you have stealing) with the Sprint Shoes and
you'll absolutely obliterate these things. Here is the Materia set up I have
for my characters upon leaving the Gold Saucer:
1) Cloud - Lv 25 (Front)
Force Stealer - Revive, Heal, Steal
Silver Armlet - All=Restore, Poison, Steal
Sprint Shoes
2) Tifa - Lv 23 (Back)
Grand Glove - Elemental=Earth, Enemy Skill, Manipulate
Silver Armlet - All=Fire, Long Range, HP Plus
Champion Belt
3) Aeris - Lv 23 (Front)
Striking Staff - All=Restore, Lightning, Steal
Shinra Beta - All=Ice, Enemy Skill, Sense
White Cape
NOTE - These set-ups are purely here as a reference only, you do not have
to set your characters up as I have. In fact, I encourage you to
experiment with what you can do. When we are about to face a Boss,
however, the set-ups that I give then will be more of a suggestion
than a reference, but again you can fiddle with it as you see fit.

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| The Touch Me will only be found in the Forests, the Beachplug and the |
| Grangalan can be found at the beaches. The Gagighandi can cause Slow- |
| Petrify so be sure to have some Softs with you. MAKE SURE to save before |
| fighting in the Forests as the Touch Mes have a 6x formation that can |
| really ruin your day, especially if you'd forgotten to equip the White |

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
As mentioned, the 6x Frog formation can be incredibly annoying, so make
sure to save your game and also to have the White Cape on before venturing
into the forests. Frog song will send your character to sleep and also cast
frog on them. Not the best of E-Skills to have but certainly not the worst.
If you look to the east you'll be able to see a lone house. There's no-one
home at the minute so it looks like we'll have to return later! And that just
about wraps up my optional sidequest section! Even though technically
speaking Gongaga *is* considered a sidequest and can be skipped, it is
considered a 'Major' sidequest and as such it gets its own section (as will
Yuffie's sidequest later on).

You will see Gongaga directly in front of you as you cross the southern
river from the Gold Saucer Desert. It is a round village surrounded by forest
(2nd chance to recruit Yuffie). Save and set up your Materia and accessories
to defend against Fire, as soon as you enter you'll have to fight:

%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
When the battle has finished make sure to set up your Materia for Fire based
attacks, then head to the right. As you make your way down into the ruined
reactor you'll have to hide from the Shinra whilst listening in on their
plans.
After Scarlett and Tseng have departed, search the spot where Scarlett was
standing to GRAB THAT MATERIA! - the [TITAN MATERIA]! We now have an Earth
based Summon! Too bad that a heap of enemies are strong vs Earth, oh well!
Now make your way back to the crossroads where you met the Turks.

--Items - X-Potion, White M-Phone, Deathblow Materia
--Required gil - 17,000
NOTE - (Best Bromance) Make a party of Aeris and Tifa and save your game.
Make your way left at the first fork and then Right on the second fork.
Welcome to Gongaga, a broken rundown town, and it's all thanks to the Shinra.
Head into the first hut on the left to buy two new pieces of Materia -
Mystify - 6000 gil and Time - 6000 gil. You can buy a Fury Ring for 5000 gil
which save us having to win it at the Battle Square. You can also buy another
White Cape here for 5000 gil if you wish (I'm not bothering).
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - TIME MATERIA [
] [
] You can now cast Haste for 18MP instead of having to use Big Guard, so [
] whack an All=Time combo on someone and never take it out of your battle [
] strategy! Also, if you're trying to learn an Enemy Skill from an enemy [
] that can't be manipulated, you can cast Haste on them to make them attack [
] you more frequently. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
You could climb up the pole here for the Weapon Shop, but it doesn't stock
anything new. Head to the western most hut to rest for 80 gil, and also to
loot a chest containing an [X-POTION].
Now head into the hut just north of the inn to find another chest containing
a weapon for Cait Sith, the [WHITE M-PHONE].
Now head to the south eastern huts and enter into the northern hut first to
stock up on a few items. I suggest leaving with a minimum of 10 Tents,
Maiden's Kiss's, Cornucopias, Softs & Phoenix Downs. Remember you can sell a
few Ethers for 750 gil if you must.
Now head into the last hut to find out a little bit about a character named
(Zack). Again, this scene will play out differently depending on who is in
your party, and you may need to talk to you friends first before they'll re-
join you.
NOTE - (Best Bromance) Leave Gongaga now without talking to Aeris or Tifa.
Although their affection value will drop, you'll be missing out on a
small amount of dialogue, so If you're keen on hearing what they have
to say then you can talk to them now, but then you'll have to re-load
your save so that you can completely ignore them (you do have a small
margin for error with this trophy by the way).
We're all done with Gongaga now, well almost. Head out of the village and
this time take the left (and last) fork picking up the [DEATHBLOW MATERIA]
along the way.
Head out of Gongaga and travel west through the forest to eventually be able
to cross a river.
NOTE - Although Deathblow is a handy Materia to have, it doesn't get its own
side note box or anything, just a few line breaks & spaces as it
isn't really all that game-changing. You will hit with a critical
blow IF you hit; your accuracy drops by 33% (only while you are using
Deathblow, selecting your normal attack will still retain its normal
accuracy). The best use for Deathblow is when you have your Limit
Break up and you�re saving it for a Boss, you can use Deathblow as an
alternative to attacking.

As you enter you'll find out that the Cosmo Canyon is actually a home-town of
one of your companions. If (Nanaki) was in your party when you had entered
then you'd have to choose another party member temporarily. Once inside you
could head up the far right ladder to stock up on a few items, but there is
nothing new here.
NOTE - The Green Indicator within the item shop signifies that there is
another part to the shop. We won't be able to access this however
until Disk 2.
In the next house down in-between the two sets of ladders you'll find the inn
where you can rest for 100 gil. More importantly, you can examine the [Turtle
Paradise Poster #5] just to the left of the counter. Head to the back room on
the 2nd floor and examine the left hand side of the couch at the bottom for
an [Elixir].
Now head up the stairs on the left and talk to Red XIII. He'll explain a
little bit about himself, then your other two Party members will disperse.
Follow them up the stairs to a save point and the [Turtle Paradise Poster
#4] just left of the counter. Don't bother with Tiger Lily's Weapon Shop for
now, we'll return here very shortly.
Head to the back of Tiger Lily's Shop to talk to Barret if you like (Best
Bromance - choose option 1, �Go on�, then option 1, �And then�), then head to
the left of her shop and up two flights of stairs.
NOTE - To exploit the aforementioned glitch to boost Barret's affection
rating indefinitely, you would have to pick option 1 followed by
option 2, then run out of the room and re-enter. Rinse and repeat.
Again, don't exploit it too heavily as doing so would cause Barret's
affection to exceed its limit, preventing the Best Bromance Trophy
from popping.
The first shop on the right is the Materia Shop, again we'll return here very
soon (trust me). The second shop is a kitchen, nothing to do here just yet.
Then large door is sealed and the left exit leads to a viewpoint.
So, head up the ladder and into the observatory to talk to Red XIII and
Bugenhagen. After a short amount of conversing, you'll have to choose two
companions to accompany you. Head back down the ladders and run into the
kitchen (right of the big sealed door). Here you can talk to Cait Sith to
arrange your party (you could talk to any one of your teammates, Cait Sith
just happens to be the closest one to talk to).
Once you've selected your party (I chose Barret & Aeris) you can head back up
to the observatory to view Bugenhagen's machinery.
Once the lesson has finished make your way back down to the entrance to Cosmo
Canyon to find all of your comrades sat around a giant flame. Before heading
over to the flame yourself, head into the inn to talk to one of the elders to
learn a bit about the Ancients. This is the only time in the game you can
hear this dialogue.
Talk to all of everybody saving Red XIII till last. When you do talk to Red,
Bugenhagen will turn up wanting to show you something. Form a party and
follow him up to the big sealed door. When he asks you if you're ready, tell
him that you are. Once you have gone through the door **TURN AROUND!!!***
There's a few thing you'll want to do first:
NOTE - If you only wanted to do 7 of the Fort Condor battles to obtain all
of the unique items available, then it would be absolutely fine for
you to sit out the next 3 battles, as the travelling time can be a
little bit arduous.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - FORT CONDOR BATTLE No.5 [
] [
] The prize will read 5 x Potions even though you actually receive 5 x Hi- [
] Potions. Note that there is an extremely tight window in which this battle [
] can be completed, and if your buggy has broken down (because you drove [
] past the Cosmo Canyon) then this battle is lost forever (forfeiting the [
] final 'optional' prize; the actual final battle/prize is mandatory). Make [
] sure that Bugenhagen has unsealed the giant door before heading out. [
] [
] Remember also that on your return through Junon you can hitch a ride to [
] the World Map using the helicopter, and using Mr Dolphin you can jump [
] straight to the Cargo Ship (using 'Square' to blow the whistle). [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Once you've finished the (optional) Fort Condor battle, make a dash over to
Tiger Lily's Weapon Shop and make a fresh save. Also make sure to have a
minimum of 19,400 gil on you. Buy the following:
NOTE - If you're reluctant to sell any of your weapons (which is completely
understandable), then you're going to want to save 16,000 gil for the
materia shop. It may be that you just buy the weapons for the
characters in your party, then buy the remaining equipment after the
forthcoming dungeon.
1 x Butterfly Edge O=O O=O - Cloud - 2800 gil
1 x Tiger Fang O=O O=O - Tifa - 2500 gil
1 x Heavy Vulcan O=O O=O - Barret - 2700 gil
1 x Prism Staff O=O O=O - Aeris - 2600 gil
1 x Silver Barrette O=O O=O - Red XIII - 2500 gil
1 x Pinwheel O=O O=O - Yuffie - 2600 gil
1 x Green M-Phone O=O O=O - Cait Sith - 2400 gil
1 x Silver Armlet O=O O O - Armour - 1300 gil
Total - 19,400 gil
If you're selling your weapons head back to the Cosmo Flame and talk to you
team to change your Party and equip every single one of your characters with
their new weapons. Equip your selected team with Silver Armlets and everyone
else with Carbon Bangles. Now arrange your items by 'Type' and get ready to
sell the following:
NOTES - This is the second and last time that I plan to sell my weapons, we
shouldn't need to worry about gil too much pretty soon. So far we
have been collecting Double Growth weapons with 3 Materia slots. We
are about to collect Double Growth 4-slotted weapons for everyone, so
I'm selling all of my current Double Growth weapons. Also, MAKE SURE
to leave a few pieces of armour (Platinum Bangles) to get changed
into. Don't sell any of you accessories. Sell anything that isn't on
this list at your peril.
* = Unique Item
Cloud - Hardedge - 750 gil | Aeris - Striking Staff - 650 gil
Force Stealer - 1100 gil | Wizard Staff - 900 gil
|
Tifa - Metal Knuckle - 160 gil | Yuffie -*4 Point Shuriken - 300 gil
Mythril Claw - 375 gil | Boomerang - 700 gil
Grand Glove - 600 gil | Wind Slash - 1000 gil
*Motor Drive - 900 gil |
| Cait Sith - Yellow M-Phone - 250 gil
Barret - Assault Gun - 175 gil | White M-Phone - 1150 gil
Atomic Scissors - 700 gil |
W Machine Gun - 1000 gil | Other - Mythril Armlet - 175 gil (x2)
| Carbon Bangle - 400 gil (x1)
Red XIII -*Mythril Clip - 400 gil | *Shinra Beta - 475 gil (x4)
Diamond Pin - 650 gil | Four Slots - 650 gil (x1)
Magic Comb - 1000 gil |
| Total = 16,060 gil
I appreciate that some may have a hard time parting with one of a kind
weapons that can never be obtained again. If that's you then don't fret,
there are other ways of earning gil....
Make your way up to the Materia Shop near the unsealed door and to buy two HP
Plus Materias for 8000 gil each. These things really want Leveling up
straight away, and although it's setting me back 16,000 gil, it's completely
justifiable. I'll be returning to purchase the MP Plus's a little later on
(If you can afford 1 x MP Plus then go right ahead. Equip it on Red XIII).
Here is my set-up going into the cave:
1) Cloud - Lv 26 (Front)
Butterfly Edge - All=Fire, All=Time
Silver Armlet - All=Restore, Lightning, HP Plus
Sprint Shoes
2) Red XIII - Lv 23 (Back)
Silver Barrette - Elemental=Ifrit, Enemy Skill, Deathblow
Silver Armlet - All=Ice, HP Plus, Long Range
Champion Belt
3) Barret - Lv 22 (Back)
Heavy Vulcan - Revive, Heal, Transform, Enemy Skill
Silver Armlet - Steal, Manipulate, Sense, HP Plus
Star Pendant
Before entering I suggest sleeping at the Inn (or just use a tent), and then
saving by Tiger Lily's before heading into the Cave of the Gi!
NOTE - We're not far off getting our first Level 4 Limit manual, the Cosmo
Memory for Red XIII! For now, Red and Red alone shall be getting all
of the kills.

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| Death Sentence will basically be a countdown timer above your head |
| counting down till you are dead (uh). Manipulate your foe to learn it |
| quicker. I recommend one person being Ice based and one person being Fire |
| based to deal with the creatures here. Equipping a Star Pendant will help |
| against the enemies Poison attacks, just bear in mind that the Fairy Ring |
| we obtain will also protect against Poison (and Darkness). Lastly, the |
| Stinger can be 'Transformed', so cast Small on it when you encounter one |
| (thank MGSB for that), and watch out for its Sting Bomb attack. |
| |
| NOTE - Smoke Bombs and M-Tentacles are amazingly good for the Battle |
| Arena. |

--Items - Added Effect Materia, Black M-Phone, Ether, X-Potion, Fairy Ring,
Turbo Ether, Gravity Materia
--Boss - Gi Nattak Lv 29 (Wizer Staff) + Soul Fire Lv 21 x 2
--Extra - Seraph Comb
Make you war down the rope and into the depths of the cave. As you enter
you will notice a few rocks with cracks in them, along with a blue Support
Materia.
There are four rocks in total, exploring the correct one will result in the
secret passageway opening, while the other three will result in a battle.
Figure it out for yourselves; you probably need the gil (I know I do),
besides, battling is fun!
Once you've opened the way to the next area you can explore the remaining
cracks if any, then head through. Make your way left at the fork and WALK
across the oil slick, then head south. If you run through it you'll be flung
into a Spike Trap swiping out roughly a third of everyone's HP. Follow the
path to the previous screen to GRAB THAT MATERIA! the [ADDED EFFECT MATERIA]!
The game just got more advanced. Adhere to the fact that should you miss
Added Effect here then you'll have missed it forever.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - STATUSES & THE ADDED EFFECT MATERIA [
] [
] Just like with the Elemental Materia, the Added Effect Materia will have a [
] different effect when adding it onto your weapon as opposed to your [
] armour. The main difference being that we can now inflict Status changes [
] to our opponents just by attacking them and defend against their Status [
] changing attacks! As the game progresses, the possibilities become [
] seemingly endless. [
] [
] For now though you would do well to equip Added Effect=Poison onto [
] someone's armour, making sure that it isn't the same person who has the [
] Star Pendant. Poison isn't exactly the worst Status in the world, so it's [
] not that crucial to equip it, just bear in mind (again) that Poison is the [
] only Materia in the game that is both an Element and a Status, and is the [
] only Materia that will work when paired with both Elemental and Added [
] Effect. [
] [
] NOTE - A Lv 2 Elemental linked with Poison in your armour will also [
] protect you from the Poison Status, whereas a Lv 3 Elemental would [
] make you absorb the poison damage (when poisoned)! [
] [
] For what it's worth, here is a list of all of the *main* negative Statuses [
] in the game, their affect and the associated Materia: [
] [
]----------------------------------------------------------------------------[
] DEATH | The Character is instantly K.O'd | Destruct, Flash, Odin (S)[
] | | E-Skills L5 Death, [
] | | Roulette [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] SLEEP | The player cannot attack until | Seal, Hades (S), [
] | the Sleep has worn off or they | E-Skills Bad Breath, [
] | are attacked by a physical | Frog Song [
] | attack | [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] POISON | The character will periodically | Poison, Hades (S), [
] | lose 1/32 of their health | E-Skill Bad Breath [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] SADNESS | Your Limit gauge will fill up at | [
] | half its normal rate but you | [
] | will also receive 30% less | [
] | damage | [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] FURY | Your Limit gauge will fill at | [
] | twice its normal rate but you | [
] | accuracy will drop by 30% | [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] CONFUSION | You will lose control of the | Mystify, Contain, [
] | afflicted player and they will | Hades (S), E-Skill Bad [
] | spin around in circles. When the | Breath [
] | player's ATB gauge fills up | [
] | whoever they are looking at will | [
] | then get attacked by the player. | [
] | If they attack themselves then | [
] | they will be cured of the Status | [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] SILENCE | You will not be able to cast | Seal, Hades (S) [
] | magic spells | [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] SLOW | The player's ATB gauge will fill | Time, Hades (S) [
] | up at a slower rate | [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] STOP | The Player's ATB gauge will stop | Time, Contain, [
] | filling up all-together | Choco/Mog (S) [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] FROG | All Materia is broken and attack | Transform, Hades (S), [
] | power is greatly reduced | E-Skills Bad Breath, [
] | | Frog Song [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] SMALL | Attack damage reduced to 1 | Transform, Hades (S) [
] | | E-Skills Bad Breath, [
] | | L4 Suicide [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] PETRIFY | Basically the same as being | Contain [
] | K.O'd only you won�t lose your | [
] | Limit gauge progress, and it can | [
] | be cured by other means i.e. | [
] | Soft instead of Phoenix Down. If | [
] | all three characters are | [
] | Petrified then it's game over | [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] SLOW-NUMB | The same as Petrify only a | [
] | countdown timer will appear | [
] | above your head | [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] DEATH - | The same as Death only a | E-Skill Death Sentence [
] SENTENCE | countdown timer will appear | [
] | above your head | [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] BERSERK | You will lose control of the | Mystify [
] | player and they will attack | [
] | automatically when their ATB | [
] | gauge fills up for 1.5x their | [
] | normal damage | [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] PARALYZED | Virtually the same as Stop, just | Hades (S) [
] | doesn't last as long and your | [
] | Limit gauge won�t fill up | [
]--------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------[
] DARKNESS | Halves the accuracy of your | [
] | physical attacks. Enemies are | [
] | not affected by Darkness | [
]----------------------------------------------------------------------------[
] [
] The Contain Materia really is one of the best Materias in the game as it [
] also inflicts Status changes as well as having Elemental properties. Hades [
] is a Summon that can also be linked to our weapon or armour with Added [
] Effect to attack/protect with/from some nasty Statuses. Don't forget White [
] Wind and Esuna can cure you from most Statuses. [
] [
] 91% of all enemies are vulnerable to Slow, 73% are vulnerable to Silence, [
] 67% are vulnerable to Sleep and 62% are vulnerable to Stop, making the [
] Time Materia or the Seal Materia the best pieces to attach onto your [
] weapon for now, at least until you obtain Contain and Hades on Disk 2. [
] [
] Adding Choco/Mog to your weapon with Added Effect will add the 'Stop' [
] Status to your attacks, which is pointless seeing as you could just [
] combine Time to your weapon to have a chance of inflicting Stop & Slow. [
] The level of the Time Materia doesn't matter btw; a level 1 Materia will [
] still pair all the Statuses attributed to that Materia. You can check the [
] 'Status' tab in the menus to see for yourself. [
] [
] Lastly, there is an incredibly useful accessory out there called a Ribbon. [
] This little beauty can protect you from virtually any harmful Status, and [
] there are a total of 2 to collect. Additionally, they can be morphed from [
] two different creatures. [
] [
] A comprehensive guide to Statuses can be found in section E.09. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Wow that was a long side note. I feel it's more important to learn the game
bit by bit instead of having all the information crammed into one large
section either at the front or the back of a guide which probably won�t get
read until one has finished the game and by that point it was too late, one
has already missed out on some crucial information yadayada.....
Love me or hate me, I acknowledge that my explanations can be slightly long-
winded. And with that in mind, let's crack on with the game shall we!
Set up the Added Effect Materia (or don't), then walk back over the oil slick
and to the right. Follow the path north, then down the visible flight of
steps to the south to come to a chest containing the [BLACK M-PHONE], which
is the first 4 slotted double growth weapon.
Then head north, past the flight of steps to the visible chest that contains
an [ETHER]. Now make your way back up the flight of steps and head north to
the next screen.
Here you will see a 'knuckle duster' like branching in the caves. Number them
1 to 5, left to right. 1 basically leads back round to 5, and 3 is a dead
end. Head through 4 first and fight the Stinger that lays waiting for you.
Don't forget to cast Mini on it (Frog Song also works well), and head up the
path to grab an [X-POTION] from the chest.
Now head back down to the knuckle duster, this time going through 2 to fight
the second Stinger. Then head west, then south through the rocks, then bear
right to find a fork in the path leading to the chest that contains a [FAIRY
RING], which is basically an upgraded version of the Star Pendant.
Now make your way north to the third and final Stinger's web, then head
through a hidden split in the rocks to the left to grab a [TURBO ETHER] from
the visible chest.
Time to heal-up and Ether-up, we're about to fight a boss. Change to
Elemental=Choco/Mog on someone's weapon, equip someone with the Fire ring and
replace Transform with Shiva. If anyone has the All=Fire set up then change
it for All=Ice. In fact stay away from Fire altogether. Head to the north
screen and eventually you'll be face to face with:

* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
GRAB THAT MATERIA! After the Boss you will be able to pick up the [GRAVITY
MATERIA]. Note that if you missed it here you *will* have another chance of
obtaining one. A few scenes will play out and eventually you will have to
select your party.
Once you're ready you can now purchase any weapons that you didn't buy
earlier, and make sure to leave with at least 1 MP Plus Materia (you should
already have 3 HP Plus's).
Now make your way out of Cosmo Canyon to have Red XIII re-join the group.
You'll now have the Seraph Comb in your equipment, which is a weapon for Red
XIII.
NOTE - If you encounter the Bagrisk, try to steal a Vagyrisk Claw from it.
This can be much easier said than done, as your steal attempt is
broken into three steals - the first two are for a Soft, the third
for the Vagyrisk Claw, and the higher the level of the thief, the
higher the chance of obtaining a Soft on the first two attempts.

Before doing anything else, it's time for another...
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - FORT CONDOR BATTLE No.6 [
] [
] Like before, your prize will be will be 5 x Hi-Potions although it'll tell [
] you that you've received 5 x Potions. This must be completed before [
] talking to Shera in Rocket Town. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Now make your way north to head towards Nibelheim, the home-town of Cloud and
Tifa. As you enter you will notice something isn't quite right...
Go into the house on the right and head up the stairs. In the attic you'll
find two weird looking things, one of them will give you a [LUCK SOURCE] if
you talk to it.
Now head into the next house along, Tifa's house and go into the kitchen.
Another, larger black blob at the back here will give you a [TURBO ETHER]. He
has the number 11 tattooed on him. (Hang on a minute, didn't a guy in Midgar
Sector 7 have a tattoo on him? hmmm...)
Now head up the stairs and in the northern bedroom to grab the [PLATINUM
FIST] from number '4'. You can head into Tifa's bedroom if you like and play
her piano again, aswell as reading an incredibly interesting note left on her
writing desk.
The next house along is Cloud's old house, there's nothing much here other
than a bit of weird banter, so head into the next house on the other side of
the street to grab an [ELIXIR] from number '12'. You can also buy a few items
from here.
Now head into the inn and grab a [LUCK SOURCE] from number '6'. You can rest
here for 100 gil if you like, I suggest doing so as the next area can get
rather tricky.
Make your way north to the Shinra Mansion. If you were to talk to one of the
blobs outside you'll learn that Sephiroth is inside. I suppose we'd better
take a look inside then. Save first.

| The Jersey will only use ???? if their left counter is down, which will be |
| as soon as the battle begins. When their left counter is down they will |
| only use be hurt by physical attacks. When their right counter is down |
| they will only use and be hurt by Magic attacks. ???? will deal damage |
| equal to your Max HP - Current HP. |
| |
| The Dorky Face can really ruin you if you're not prepared. MAKE SURE to |
| equip the Peace Ring on someone and to have the Added Effect=Mystify combo |
| on someone else's armour. For the Ghirofelgo have Gravity on you weapon, |
| you can also cast the E-Skill Laser to damage it critically. Oh, and for |
| the Mirage, DON'T cast L4 Suicide on them, it'll just mirror back to you. |
| |
| For the Ying Yangs just cast Beta then attack like mad, don't mess around. |
| They are the most annoying enemy in the game. Yang is resistant to Magic |
| and Ying is resistant to physical attacks. |

] SIDE NOTE - OBTAINING VINCENT [
] [
] We are now about to recruit our 2nd optional character in the game, [
] Vincent Valentine. In order to do this we have to embark on a mini-game. [
] First head to the bottom left of the screen of the entrance to find a [
] note. Contained within the note are some clues that will lead to the [
] combination of a safe found on the 2nd floor western wing. [
] [
] For what it's worth I'm not going to help you out..... just yet. See if [
] you can figure it out yourself. If you think you've cracked it then try to [
] open the safe to fight the Boss, Lost Number. Otherwise skip down to just [
] below the Boss section where I shall reveal the combination and how you [
] were to have figured it out. Just remember that whilst inputting the [
] numbers you cannot go past the correct digit, otherwise you'll have to [
] start over. [
] [
] NOTE - Equip Added Effect=Choco/Mog on to someone's weapon, this Boss is [
] vulnerable to Stop. Elemental=Lightning in you armour would be [
] good too. [

O.K., so you've either figured out the puzzle on your own in which case you
can skip out the next paragraph, or you've given up (or you're just lazy) and
you want to know the combination the easy way. Here's how to solve it:
Dial 1 - Right 36 - 'The lid of the box with the most oxygen.' This was the
treasure chest we opened on the western side of the 2nd
Floor.
Dial 2 - Left 10 - 'Behind the ivory's short of tea and ray.' This was
written on the floor behind the piano on the 1st Floor
on the western side.
NOTE - This is left to the number 10 (so left 26 clicks).
Dial 3 - Right 59 - 'The creek in the floor board near the chair on the
second floor... Then to the left five steps, up nine
steps, left two steps and up six steps.' This is the one
I remember struggling with. In the eastern room on the
2nd floor, search the hallway in line with the chest.
Dial 4 - Right 97 - 'The fourth has been written in invisible ink....' When
selecting which clue you'd like to read you can bring
the finger cursor down to the fourth line which will
give the answer away in invisible ink.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now that you have opened the safe and defeated Lost Number, set your Materia
back to the way it was and GRAB THAT MATERIA! the [ODIN MATERIA], and also
the 'Key to the Basement' from the safe itself. If you've unlocked all of Red
XIII's Limit Breaks then you can go ahead and teach him Cosmo Memory (by
selecting it from the item menu), unlocking the 'A Universe Of Pain' Trophy.
NOTE - Odin can be paired with Added Effect for the 'Death' Status.
Now head down the spiral staircase on the eastern 2nd floor wing, and into
the basement. Before reaching the lab, go through the now open door leading
to a coffin. inspect the coffin to talk to the man residing inside about
Sephiroth.
After he has finished, inspect the coffin one more to name [VINCENT]. When
you get the dialogue box �let me sleep� it's time to leave. Congratulations,
you've now acquired Vincent! He'll join your party as you leave the basement
(unlocking the Won't You be My Valentine? Trophy). Before doing that however,
head into the laboratory to the east for an encounter with someone.....
(There's that name again, Professor Gast..)
After he has finished confusing Cloud talking about Jenova and Reunion, he'll
leave behind the [DESTRUCT MATERIA]. Before making your way out you can
examine various reports in the main office, and you can also examine the two
test tubes in the lower right corner of the lab.
That's just about all there is to do here for now. Head out of the Shinra
Mansion (grabbing ???? from the Jersey on the 2nd floor if you haven't
already), rest up at the inn and head out of Nibelheim through the northern
exit to the World Map. Follow the mountain path north until you reach Mt.
Nibel.

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~# as the Zuu is a flying creature. |
| Consider revisiting this place once |
| you've obtained the Morph Materia as you can gain quite a few Power |
| Sources from the Screamer's! The Zuu is found on the bridge and at the |
| reactor, the Screamer is found at the reactor and the paths leading to the |
| reactor, and the Dragon is found in the mountain caves and on the path to |
| the reactor. |
| |
| NOTE - The Dragon will drop a Fire Fang if you haven't stolen from it, so |
| don't steal more Gold Armlets than you actually need as the Fire |
| Fangs can help in the Battle Square. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Rune Blade, Plus Barrette, Powersoul, Elixir, Elemental Materia,
Sniper CR, All Materia, Counter Attack Materia
--Boss - Materia Keeper Lv 38 (Jem Ring)
This is my set up going into Mt. Nibel:
1) Cloud - Lv 30 (Back)
Butterfly Edge - All=Fire, Heal, Steal
Silver Armlet - All=Restore, Long Range, HP Plus
Sprint Shoes
2) Vincent - Lv 29 (Back)
Peacemaker - Elemental=Choco/Mog, Enemy Skill, Sense
Silver Armlet - Manipulate, Deathblow, HP Plus, MP Plus
Champion Belt
3) Yuffie - Lv 25 (Back)
Pinwheel - Added Effect=Time, Revive, Enemy Skill
Silver Armlet - All=Ice, Steal, HP Plus
Fire Ring
Traverse through the winding paths of Mt. Nibel until you come to a path
leading up the mountain. Having the Finger Indicator enabled with SELECT
helps here. At the top of the mountain you'll find a chest containing the
[RUNE BLADE].
Make you way back round the mountain side and back down onto the main path.
Head towards the bridge on the left and just before you reach it you'll
notice a path that bears off to the north. Make your way up the second
mountain to obtain the [PLUS BARRETTE]. These paths can be slightly tricky to
navigate, so once you do finally make your way back down to the main path
head up and over the bridge.
NOTE - The soundtrack here, 'Under The Rotting Pizza' is one of my fav in
the game. For a midi soundtrack that was made in the 90's, you can't
help but appreciate the suspense and the tension that the track
holds, not to mention the reverb of the bass and the crisp-ness of
the drums (I have made music in the past so I can appreciate good
production value. In fact, making this walkthrough isn't too dis-
similar from making a track).
You'll eventually come to a large cavern with 5 pipes. Only number 2 and
number 4 lead to treasure, the other three lead to nowhere special. Head down
number 2 first to land on a rock containing the [POWERSOUL]. We'll circle
back round for the remaining treasure a little later on.
NOTE - The Powersoul is a weapon for Tifa that doubles in power if she is
either in critical HP, and quadruples if she is inflicted with Death
Sentence (effects stack for 8x power). It is also double growth.
I never fight the Boss here straight away for some reason, although feel free
to do so if you wish. Save the game regardless and then head through the
southern screen. Drop down to the path below and head though the opening on
the right. Had you ventured to see what was on the left you would have found
the place where Sephiroth & co. had landed after the bridge had collapsed
during the flashback.
In this screen you can make your way round to the top of the screen, and then
double back through the not-so-obvious path to the opening on the left.
Follow the path south to emerge at a chest containing an [ELIXIR].
Make your way back through to progress into the next screen. It seems that
the 'knowledge of the Ancients that is contained within the Materia' (quote)
has taken form. Just to the left of the life stream fountain is (breath in)
GRAB THAT MATERIA! the [ELEMENTAL MATERIA]! (If you missed it at the Shinra
HQ and you didn't 'jam on the piano' during the flashback then this will be
the only place to obtain the Elemental Materia. This area is revisit-able.)
The next screen along takes you to a mini maze of sorts, follow your
instincts to the chest containing the [SNIPER CR], a weapon for Vincent that
has the max stat (255) for his attack%. Meaning, he'll never miss a shot with
this weapon equipped! Try pairing it with Deathblow for the ultimate combo
(at this stage). Note that Vincent *may* miss a shot with Deathblow (although
it's rare), it's only his normal attacks that are impossible to miss.
The next screen leads to another winding path. There's nothing to find on the
right, so head west to eventually arrive at the reactor. You can take a look
around inside if you like, but there's nothing to obtain. When you're ready,
head past the reactor to return to the cavern with 5 shoots, a save point and
the Materia Keeper!
NOTE - If you haven't managed to steal 3 Gold Armlets yet then don't worry,
you'll be able to buy them for 2000 gil each in the next town along.
If you're planning on doing the Fort Condor battles then I suggest that you
*make sure* to interact with the lower ladder to release its latch (do it
anyway even if you aren't doing the FC battles). Now head up the other ladder
to return to the shoots, this time sliding down No. 4. After picking up the
[ALL MATERIA], head over to the save point and take a leak. No I mean, errr,
save your game, obviously. It's time to come face to face with............
A Trophy Note?

%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
Before continuing make sure to GRAB THAT MATERIA! the [COUNTER ATTACK
MATERIA] that the Materia Loser drops behind. Now follow the new path to
eventually emerge out onto the World Map. Counter Attack can also be won at
the Chocobo Races.
NOTE - (sigh) The Counter Attack Materia. It may sound pleasing at first,
the idea of having a 30% chance to Counter each time the bearer is
hit. That is unless of course your trying to steal an item from your
enemy. Or you are trying to fill your Limits up, or if you are
trying to learn an Enemy Skill and you keep accidentally killing your
opponent. only equip it if you are 100% sure that you actually want
it.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - COUNTER ATTACK COMBO [
] [
] A mastered Counter Attack Materia will have a 100% success rate of [
] countering, and the more you equip on one character the more times they [
] will counter. if you were to equip 8 mastered Counter Attacks onto one [
] person along with HP Plus and Cover, then they would retaliate to being [
] hit once with 8 attacks! 8 is the maximum you can equip by the way; any [
] more and they will not take effect. [

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| There are a number of new enemies here as aswell as old ones. Remember |
| that the Mystery Ninja's Lv will vary depending on Cloud's current Lv |
| (unless of course you've already obtained Yuffie). |
| |
| Large Forest - Bahba Velamyu, Battery Cap, Valron, Mystery Ninja (25%) |
| Small Forest - Velcher Task, Kyuvilduns, Valron, Mystery Ninja (100%) |
| Beaches - Crown Lance |
| Grass - Velcher Task, Nibel Wolf, Chocobo Level 22 |
| |
| The larger forest is probably the best Limit Break training ground in the |
| entire game! You will encounter the Battery Caps that have a 6x formation |
| and can be hit with L4 Suicide. Also, the Valron here will take out 1/4 of |
| your max HP with his Dive Kick move. Steal a few remedies from the Velcher |
| Task as they can cure you of any Status. The Chocobo tracks west of Rocket |
| Town holds the exact same Chocobo we encountered at the Gold Saucer Area. |
| Lastly, equip items/Materia that protect you from Darkness (Battery Cap), |
| Slow (Bahba Velamyu) and Poison (Velcher Task). Oh, and don't forget the |
| Kyuvilduns are weak against Fire. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Yoshiyuki, Power Source, Drill Arm
--Boss - Palmer Lv 38 (Edincoat)
--Required gil - 36,600 (or less)
--Extra - Gold Armlet (recruit equipment)
Fort Condor Battle #7 - Superball
As mentioned, the forest area is the absolute number 1 spot in the game for
Limit Break Leveling. Don't spend any time in there now, however, there's
still a few things to do and collect before we're ready to blast it here
properly. For now, head clock-wise around the mountains in a reverse 'C'
shape to eventually arrive at Rocket Town.
Head into the first house on the right to rest up for 100 gil. Then leave the
Inn and head into the Weapon Shop on the left. Buy the following, deducting
any Gold Armlets that you stole from the Dragons in Mt. Nibel (you're about
to recruit someone that has a Gold Armlet equipped, also) :
1 x Shotgun O=O O=O - Vincent - 3100 gil
2 x Gold Armlet O=O O=O - Armour - 2000 gil each
1 x Earring - Accessory - 7500 gil
Total - 16,600 gil
NOTE - You can also buy a few Power Wrists here if you want, just bear in
mind that the Champion Belt from the Gold Saucer will go down in
price very shortly, and I do intend to take you to get a second one.
Also, equip the healer of the group with the Earring as so they can
heal more HP per Cure.
Equip your characters with their new wears, then head a little to the north
to see a man standing outside of a house. Talk to him twice to look up at the
rocket with him, and he'll willingly give you the [YOSHIYUKI], a weapon for
Cloud that will double in power when one of Cloud's companions are KO'd, and
will triple in power when both are KO'd.
Now head inside the house he old man was standing on front of, which turns
out to be the Item Shop. Here we can buy a few new pieces of Materia, Barrier
(10,000 gil) and Exit (10.000 gil). Exit will make you can escape from
battles without having to hold down L1+R1 (so basically it's useless), and
Barrier will do the same as Big Guard but without the Haste effect. You only
really need to buy these to complete your Materia collection, although a
levelled up Barrier can be quite useful.
NOTE - The Exit Materia can be used during the Battle Square to escape
whilst still retaining all of your current BP, so it probably is
worth getting. Just remember that if you escape the normal way
(L1+R1) then you shall lose all of the BP earned in that battle.
There is absolutely nothing to do in the western house, so head over to the
eastern most house and search the chest on the right for a [POWER SOURCE].
Now head into the final house on the north to find a chest containing the
[DRILL ARM]. That's it for the miscellaneous things to do in Rocket Town so
head out of the house you're in via the back door to talk to Shera.
After learning that the Shinra are expected to pay a visit to Rocket Town,
you are advised to speak to Cid who is up in his Rocket. Not before.....
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - FORT CONDOR BATTLE No.7 [
] [
] Aside from being the longest trek back to the Junon area, this will also [
] be your last. If you had forgotten to flip the ladder down in Mt. Nibel [
] then you'll have to go the long way round (at least you'd get to hear the [
] beat a little more). Your prize for this battle will be the Superball, a [
] weapon for Yuffie. This has to be fought after talking to Shera but before [
] talking to Cid. [
] [
] NOTE - In case you hadn't noticed by now, most of the weapons we obtain [
] come in batches. By that I mean the previous batch was 4 slotted [
] Double Growth weapons for everyone. The next batch will be the [
] same as the Superball - zero Materia slots but very high attack [
] power (just like the Umbrella for Aeris). These will help for a [
] certain quest. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
When you return to Rocket Town make sure to rest at the Inn as there is a
(very easy) Boss coming up. Enjoying the reggae attempt once more, head north
towards the leaning Shin-Ra Type 26 to speak to The Captain. After naming him
[CID], you will have a dialogue option come up. To continue with the story,
choose option 1.
Head back into the northern house and make your way to the back to trigger a
sequence involving yet another flashback. One of the things that I truly love
about this game is how deep the side-characters stories are, Cid's is no
different. Once you've regained control of Cloud head out to the front of the
house.
Once Shera has beckoned you back into the house you will have time to set up
for a particularly easy Boss battle, then head out through the back door and
talk to Palmer.
NOTE - Palmer will take double damage from Sleep based attacks. Equip Added
Effect with Seal on your weapon to see for yourself!

After watching a short FMV you will finally be able to fly the Tiny Bronco!
Well, maybe not fly, more like swim about in shallow water, but it still
beats the buggy. Disembark on the nearby land mass to save, but DO NOT head
north up the hill, otherwise you will trigger the start of a sidequest that
must be completed before anything else can be done, and there's still a few
things I wish for you to do before we embark on that adventure. Time to head
anti-clockwise around the World Map for a load more optional sidequests!
NOTE - If you wanted to, you could battle around on the beaches where you
landed (Wutai Area) to fight the Adamantaimai. Manipulate it, then
have it cast Death Force on your characters to learn the Enemy Skill
Death Force. Steal an Adaman Bangle from it aswell. We'll be
returning here shortly anyway, so you can learn it then if you like,
but it will help at the Battle Square if you plan to return there
(which I advise to).
UPDATE - I have now created a map section! For a detailed ASCII map of the
world broken into 5 segments, visit section F, or use QSI link
[Maps]. Here you will be able to plot your course accordingly, as
you'll be able to clearly see the routes of shallow water that are
available.
One last thing to mention before moving on, we have now recruited every
character in the game! Assuming of course that you have recruited the two
optional characters, Yuffie & Vincent. This shall be the last Limit Break
rundown of the walkthrough:
CID HIGHWIND

NOTE - If you decide to venture into the Gold Saucer then *make sure* not to
head into Dio's Showroom in the Battle Square, as that will further
the main story and you won�t be able to remove Aeris from your party
for quite some time after.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.17 A - Obtaining The Great Gospel
--Items - Great Gospel
From the shores that you crashed near, make your way east and you should
start to recognise the Cosmo Canyon Area. Now head towards Nibelheim and cut
through the river near to where your buggy will be parked to emerge near
Gongaga and the Gold Saucer area (make note of the lagoon to the left along
the way). Straight in front of you should be a lone house.
Now that the weapon seller is home, we can enquire about the 'Keystone'.
Choose options 1 then 2 to learn a few interesting things (namely the
'Ultimate Destruction Magic'), then choose 3 to trade in the Mythril that you
acquired earlier from the sleeping man near Junon (read below if you haven't
done that yet). You will then be permitted to open either the smaller box on
the 2nd floor or the larger box on the ground floor.
The larger box merely contains a Gold Armlet, so go for the smaller box to
obtain Aeris's Lv4 Limit Break manual, the Great Gospel. If you have learned
all 6 of her previous Limits then you can go ahead and have her learn this
straight away! Remember that you can make use of the bed here aswell.
NOTES - You can actually go back to the sleeping man for an infinite amount
of Mythril, although you can only carry one at a time. If you wanted
to you could go back to Junon in your buggy (you can't access it via
plane), talk to the sleeping man in the cave found across the river
by the forests to hear your battle count stat. Then battle around
until the final two digits of your battle count are odd to obtain
another Mythril.
- Every time you learn a Lv 4 Limit Break, you'll unlock a trophy.
When you learn Great Gospel you'll obtain the See The Light Trophy.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.17 B - Fort Condor Battle No. 8
From the lone house head south first and then east. You'll eventually come
to a pyramid surrounded by forest. Remember its location and keep heading
around it to navigate the tight gulley. Disembark at the beaches near to Fort
Condor, your prize this time will be 3 x Turbo Ethers. If you've missed out a
few battles, then I suggest completing the next few battles until you at
least obtain the Superball.
NOTE- If you have less than 4000 Gil, read the next section to learn how to
raise some in the shortest amount of time possible!
Strategy Update - You should really be getting the hang of this now. What
I'm doing is creating 3 x Attackers scattered across the map, and as soon
as the battle begins I'm slowing the speed down to one (with L1). I'll then
command each troop to make their way down the hill as far is they can go. As
enemies appear I will create a new soldier as far downhill as I can that is
suited to the enemy that awaits.
If you haven't realised by now, you can end the battle prematurely by
wiping out every single opponent in play. This is what you want to be
aiming for, there's no need to hang around for the Boss. Just go all out on
the offensive, and keep instructing your troops to head south. Speed the
battle bar up to 4 once all commands have been given, then slow it back
down when you need to give more commands. With this strategy you should
never need to buy anything other than the three 'elemental' types (or 'rock-
paper-scissors' types, you know what I mean), although feel free to
experiment if you'd like to spice things up a little bit.

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| Make sure to have either the Peace Ring or Added Effect=Mystify equipped |
| to protect you from the Hippogriff's L2 Confuse. That person also ideally |
| wants to have an Enemy Skill equipped (for White Wind) or All=Heal (Esuna) |
| to be able to cure your characters from Confusion. You may want to equip a |
| Fairy Ring to protect you from the Sea Worm's Sandstorm move, which by the |
| way can only be fought at the beaches. Equip Elemental=Shiva on your |
| strongest character, as well as Counter Attack. The Head Hunter can only |
| be found in grassy areas. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Follow the coastline around Fort Condor whilst heading for the land mass in
the south eastern corner of the map. If you pass the Chocobo Ranch then
you've gone too far. You should be able to disembark on the beaches of a dirt
area with a small bit of grass. You'll know if you're in the correct area
because it'll read 'Mideel Area' in the Menus.
You won't be able to access Mideel just yet, but you can fight the Sea Worm
on the beaches for 5000 gil a pop! Not to mention 200AP! The Dragon Scales
will help for the Battle Square, but they won't drop Turbo Ethers if you
steal from them. With a whopping 9000HP, you may want to equip Ice on the
character/s that don't have the Elemental=Shiva combo. The Sea Worms will be
our main source of gil for the time being. Don't forget about the Enemy Lure
Materia.
The Spirals give out tremendous amounts of EXP, but we really, really don't
want that just yet. The only reason you'd want to battle them is for their X-
Potions. They come in formations of 2 and 3, so two battles with them will
net you 4 - 6 X-Potions, which will help for later.
**I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH** DO NOT spend a lot of time here. I battled the
Sea Worms until I had 30,000 gil and I'd stolen 4 X-Potions then I left. The
higher the level we become the easier (and subsequently more boring) the game
will become. Make sure to leave with a minimum of 20,600 gil. It may be worth
killing off one or two of your players so that they don't earn any Exp
(remember that everyone who isn't in your party receives 0.5x the Exp earned
in-battle).
NOTES - If you *haven't* been following this guide to the letter, and you're
a low levelled wuss that plans to train here for a bit, then make
sure to swing by Bone Village once you have 20,600 gil. You can buy
some great Double Growth Armour there!
- We're going to be spending a little bit of time Limit Leveling
shortly on, so don't worry too much if you don't raise a shed load
of gil now. You'll need 20K for Bone Village, 30K for a Golden
Ticket, 5K to play with in the Gold Saucer and 12K for the remaining
2 MP Plus's (unless you've already obtained them). The Golden Ticket
is optional at this stage, and you could just spend 3K for the
entrance fee.
- BIG THANKS to trueOgre_Killer for pointing this out - an incredibly
easy way to earn gil without Leveling up is to battle around near
Bone Village until you encounter 2 x Trickplay (Steal from the
Vlakorados if you encounter it). The trickplay have a 17.4% chance
of using Gold Mountain, which will add 800 to their value. In one
battle I was able to walk away with roughly 40,000 gil, and less
than 1000 EXP! Nice! Just watch out for L4 Suicide. Gold Mountain
costs them 0MP to cast, so they can keep using it indefinitely.
- If an enemy has more than 20,000 HP, which the Vlakorados has, then
you will not be able to cast Sense on that enemy.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.17 D - Bone Village
--Items - Kjata Materia
--Required gil - 20,600
From Mideel head north along the eastern side of the continent. If you
wanted to you could stop off by the Chocobo Ranch to learn L4 Suicide and/or
Chocobuckle for your 2nd Enemy Skill if you haven't already, but it isn't
necessary just yet. You could also learn Matra Magic near Midgar if for some
weird reason you haven't obtained it already.
If you wanted to, you could stop by at Kalm to buy another Steal Materia (to
make 3) for 1200 gil each. Not only will this help us when we need to steal
rare items, but also...
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - MUG [
] [
] Just like with the Counter Attack Materia, we kind of do and don't want [
] Mug, which is what Steal will become once it's levelled up. Yes it's nice [
] being able to weaken our opponent whilst also attempting to steal from [
] them, but it can be rather frustrating when you end up killing them with a [
] critical blow. My advice is that when you level Steal up, keep it equipped [
] but also equip another Lv 1 Steal onto someone else. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
>From Kalm head north then west passing Midgar to your left. If you haven't
already, enable the mini-map in the lower right corner and head for the
marked area on the Northern Continent. You'll know if you're in the right
area because you'll see some giant dinosaur bones surrounded by a peculiar
forest.
NOTES - I don't plan on battling here, so I won't give an enemy description
until we revisit this place during the story. Just note that if you
encounter the Vlakorados (a red dragon) here then you may wish to
consider escaping from these things as they have an insatiable
33,333 HP! Do steal a Carob Nut from them however....
- As mentioned, the Trickplay a great source of Gil at this stage in
the game.
Once inside Bone Village you can talk to the guy on the right to enquire
about Sephiroth, otherwise talk to the guy sitting down on the left to buy
3 x Diamond Bangles (3200 each) and 3 x Rune Armlet (3700 each) coming to
20,600 gil. We now have 4-slotted Double Growth Armour for everyone, yippee!
Now climb up the ladders to the right and head through the exit on the left.
After heading through one screen, you'll arrive in the sleeping forest. You
won't be able to progress just yet, but you can obtain the Kjata Materia
here. Stand at the base of the first tree you see on the left and after about
4 seconds a red Materia orb will start floating upwards. GRAB THAT MATERIA!
the [KJATA MATERIA]. If you don't get it now then you can get it later on.
NOTES - If you're Materia inventory is full then the game would normally
disallow you from picking up any more pieces. Kjata unfortunately is
glitched, and if you were to pick it up with a full Materia
inventory then you would remove Kjata from the screen without adding
it to your inventory, thereby losing it forever.
- Kjata will hit for Fire, Ice, Lightning & Earth. This isn't always a
good thing as the enemies strengths could end up softening the blow.
Equipping Kjata with the Elemental Materia has absolutely no affect
whatsoever.
- Kjata has been re-translated as 'Kujata' in the Steam/PS4 release.
I'll be referring to the summon as its original, mis-spelt name -
Kjata.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.17 E - Limit Break Training No. 5
This will be the last time this guide will focus on Limit Break training as
the large forest near Rocket Town/Mt. Nibel is the ultimate spot that you can
keep coming back to (head west from Bone village). Do not spend more time
here now than is necessary, in fact I'm only getting a few kills with Vincent
and a few uses of Cid's 1-1 then I'm moving on. Once Cloud hits 35, stop
training (even that may be a little too high). This is a very long game, and
right now we're roughly a third of the way through it, so there's no need to
Limit level everyone to the max straight away.
If you are planning to level up here then I suggest you make use of the Rune
Armlets, and don't forget about the Enemy Lure Materia. Trine will take out
the 6 x Battery caps in one hit, and Manipulating the Valrons is the best way
to fill up your Limits. Here is my set up:
1) Cloud - Lv 33 (Back)
Rune Blade - Gravity, Heal, Restore, Manipulate
Rune Armlet - Steal, Long Range, Enemy Lure, HP Plus
Earring
2) Vincent - Lv 32 (Back)
Sniper CR - All=Restore, Enemy Skill, MP Plus
Rune Armlet - Revive, Deathblow, Counter Attack, HP Plus
Champion Belt
3) Cid - Lv 32 (Front)
Spear - All=Time, Enemy Skill, Cover
Rune Armlet - Poison, Earth, Elemental, HP Plus
Sprint Shoes
Just to re-cap, here is a table listing the requirements of each Limit Level.
The same table can be found in section E.02.
_________ _________ ___________ _________ ___________ _________
| | | | | | |
| Lv 1-1 | Lv 1-2 | Lv 2-1 | Lv 2-2 | Lv 3-1 | Lv 3-2 |
+-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------|
| Cloud | Default | 8 Uses | 120 Kills | 7 Uses | 320 Kills | 6 Uses |

|-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------|
| Cid | Default | 7 Uses | 60 Kills | 6 Uses | 136 Kills | 5 Uses |
+-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------+
Here are my Limit levels once I was done:
Cloud: Lv 35 Limit 2-2 Climhazzard
Barret: Lv 30 Limit 2-2 Hammerblow
Tifa: Lv 31 Limit 2-2 Meteodrive
Aeris: Lv 30 Limit 4-1 Great Gospel
Red XIII: Lv 32 Limit 2-2 Stardust Ray
Yuffie: Lv 31 Limit 1-2 Clear Tranquil
Cait Sith: Lv 29 Limit 1 Dice
Vincent: Lv 34 Limit 2 Death Gigas
Cid: Lv 33 Limit 1-2 Dynamite
Once you're happy with your Levels and you're ready to move on you'll have a
few options available to you. If you weren't too keen on grinding the Super
Dunk machine at the Gold Saucer and you don't fancy bashing it out some more
to obtain some prizes at the Battle Square, then you can skip out the next
section and jump straight to Yuffie's Sidequest. Just bear in mind that the
Champion Belt has now gone down in price and can be obtained for 25,600 BP,
and having two of these will massively help for Yuffie's Sidequest.
NOTE - If you're passing through Cosmo Canyon, you should stop by to grab
some MP Plus Materias so that you own 3.
- (Best Bromance) If you have been following my guide to the letter,
then you should have done everything necessary to secure Barret as
the winner of the affection game, however completing Yuffie's
sidequest will boost her affection towards you. This shouldn't
matter, but If you wish to play it safe, then I suggest (after you've
finished up with the optional Gold Saucer stuff) skipping down to
section D1.19 - Gold Saucer Re-visited before doing Yuffie's
sidequest.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D1.17 F - Battling it Out at The Battle Square (again)
--Items - Champion Belt (25,600 BP), Speed Plus Materia (12,800 BP),
Pre-Emptive Materia (6400 BP)
Now that all of the prizes have gone down in price I recommend heading back
to the Gold Saucer. Before heading to the rope-way, first equip all three
characters with the Steal Materia and head to the rope bridge just past North
Corel. Battle around to steal some Right Arms from the Bombs here, they
really do tremendous amounts of damage to all enemies.
Once you're ready to head up the rope-way, set Cloud up with the following
and rest in North Corel so that you enter the Gold Saucer with max HP/MP.
Cloud - Lv 35 (Back)
Butterfly Edge - Heal, Restore, Enemy Skill, Deathblow
Diamond Bangle - Added Effect=Time, Counter Attack, Long Range, HP Plus
White Cape
Inflict Cloud with Sadness after you have slept in the Inn.
If you don't have enough to buy the Gold Ticket for 30,000 gil, then don't
fret. As soon as you enter the Gold Saucer, head over to the Ghost Square to
stock up on items, particularly Echo Screens. Then head to the Wonder Square
to accumulate roughly 150 GP from the Super Dunk Game.
When you're ready, head back to the station and save your game for 5GP, then
head to the Battle Square. **DO NOT** head into the showroom to the right of
the arena as that will further the story, which will mean that you will not
be able to take Aeris out of your party until after the Temple of the
Ancients.
The enemies here now are quite harder, and you will probably find yourself
dying more than you did previously. Trine will be your best friend. Use the
Exit Materia or Smoke Bombs if you have any to escape from the battle whilst
retaining all of your BP. Always play it safe, cast Big Guard on the 7th
battle to prepare yourself for the 'All Materia Broken Handicap', and
remember, the harder the handicap the higher the BP reward. That only really
matters for the final two handicaps though.
Remember to use Laser on the Ghirofelgo, and L4 Suicide on the Dragon and
Ying Yang.
You'll notice that Cloud's Level 4 Limit Break, Omnislash is now available
for a whopping 51,200 BP! This will go down in price eventually, and we will
be able to gain GP much more easily when that does happen, so unless you've
got a lot of time to spare then I suggest just getting a 2nd Champion Belt,
the Speed Plus Materia and the Pre-Emptive Materia for a total of 44,800 BP.
Use any BP that you have left over on buying another Enemy Lure to make three
in total as the effects will stack with each other, then buy Bird Wings and
Remedys. The S-Mines are a waste of BP. If you have any GP left over then I
suggest trying to score over 5000 in the Speed Square to obtain the Umbrella,
just remember to save first. If you do manage to nab the weapon then it will
help later on, but it's so bloody hard to do so that I wouldn't blame you if
you decided to give up! I managed to obtain it by watching more than a few
youtube vids more than a few times.
NOTE - If you're playing on the PC/PS4 version, then you can shoot the
Zeppelin propeller to gain a ridiculous amount of points, making the
Umbrella easily obtainable. Look it up!
And that just about wraps up all of the optional Sidequests, for now. That is
of course excluding Yuffie's Sidequest, probably the biggest sidequest of the
game. You have a few varying options available to you now. Seeing as you can
complete her sidequest at any point before the end of Disk 2, you could if
you wanted to come back later on to complete it. If this is what you want to
do then head into Dio's Showroom to continue on with the story and skip to
section D1.19 - Gold Saucer Re-visited. Otherwise head back to the Tiny
Bronco and then make your way to the land mass west of Rocket Town.
NOTES - If your characters are currently at a fairly low level then it would
be worth considering completing the Temple of the Ancients first
before doing Yuffie's sidequest. The weapons found there, like the
Umbrella, will massively help out.
- If you plan on taking Aeris along to do Yuffie's sidequest, then I
would advise continuing on with the main part of the story, as it
requires you coming back to the Gold Saucer to engage in a battle at
the Battle Arena. Doing so now would save you having to re-equip
yourself, and would also save you the entrance fee (assuming you
haven't bought a Golden Ticket yet). Skip down to D1.19 if this is
for you. This is also recommended if you're after the Best Bromance
Trophy. Once you commit yourself to the next step of the story, you
won't be able to remove Aeris from your party until after the Temple
of The Ancients.

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| Both Death Force and Magic hammer can only be learnt by Manipulating the |
| enemy. Death Force will make you invulnerable to 'Death' for one battle |
| which can prove quite useful. Not nearly as useful as Magic Hammer which |
| will drain 100MP out of all opponents! This should save on Ethers, just |
| bear in mind that it costs 3MP to cast. The Adaman Bangles are worth |
| Stealing, also. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Magic Shuriken, Hairpin, MP Absorb, Swift Bolt, Elixir
--Extra - Turtle Paradise Poster #6
If you're struggling to find the shoreline that you're supposed to be
looking for, then head for the ocean closest to Cosmo Canyon. With Cosmo
directly behind you, head west to find the dirt beach that you're after on
the left. Oh, and it goes without saying that you must have recruited Yuffie
in order to embark on this quest. If for some weird reason you still haven't
then head to the forests near Rocket Town, now!
NOTES - While Yuffie's sidequest doesn't have to completed now, it does has
to be done prior to the end-of-Disk-2 events. If you fail to partake
in the sidequest then you shall be forever missing out on the MP
Absorb Materia. You *can* still partake in the added mini-quest (The
Pagoda) on Disk 3 if you haven't completed Yuffie's main sidequest
first.
- For a detailed map of Wutai see section F.03.
Before making your way up the hill, battle around on the shoreline to
encounter the Adamantaimai to steal 3 x Adaman Bangles from them, and to
learn the Enemy Skill Death Force if you haven't already. The Adaman Bangles
have very high defence from physical attacks, but only two Materia Slots.
Remember that the Magic Defence stat is always fixed to your Spirit level, so
you don't actually lose anything even though the weapon stat for Magic Def
will be in red (this bug has been fixed in the Steam/PS2 versions). You won�t
encounter the Razor Weed until further up past the dirt area.
NOTE - I sometimes arrange my Party according to what's about to happen in
the storyline. I have always brought Tifa & Aeris along on this one,
although I have a feeling Barret & Red XIII were meant to tag along...
Start heading up the hill to engage in an altercation with two Shinra Guards.
You'll have to fight the Attack Squads which are fairly easy.... but some-
thing's missing....
Wait, what the..... That #%*%&!!! Ok, so now you know why I've recommended a
2nd Champion Belt, we're going to be relying on pure strength for this side
quest. Equip the Adaman Bangles too, and also any high attack-powered weapons
(like the Umbrella). If you had Yuffie in your party when you went into the
fight then she will leave your party and Barret will join once the fights
over. Unless Barret was already in your party, in which case Red XIII shall
join.
NOTE - Yuffie can only steal 48 pieces of Materia, if you have more then 48
then you will be left with a few to play with. There is a particular
order to the Materia she take:

|_____________________|__________________|___________________|_______________|
This was my load-out following the fight:
1) Cloud - Lv 36 (Front)
Yoshiyuki - Ice, Fire
Adaman Bangle - Sense, Steal
Fury Ring
2) Tifa - Lv 32 (Front)
Tiger Fang - Heal, Restore, Ice, Fire
Silver Armlet - Sense, Steal
Champion Belt
3) Aeris - Lv 31 (Front)
Umbrella -
Adaman Bangle - Restore, Steal
Champion Belt
Obviously having the Fury Ring attached to Cloud will make his Materia set-up
obsolete, but at least they will still receive AP. It's completely up to you
of course, the Sprint Shoes or the Power Wrist would make a suitable
alternative.
Make your way across two bridges, then head south and under the bridge you
just crossed. Now make your way north to cross a third bridge then keep
heading north to eventually arrive at Yuffie's home-town, Wutai!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - MATERIA CAVES [
] [
] Dotted around the map are 4 Materia caves that can only be accessed by [
] 'special' means. You'll probably spot one these caves whilst on your way [
] to Wutai. You would've also spotted one on your way to North Corel. The [
] Materia held within these caves are quite special, more on how to obtain [
] them later on. (You just gotta love this game for its abundance of [
] collectibles and things to do, if nothing else!) [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
As soon as you enter the tranquil town of Wutai you'll see Yuffie. We're
going to be visiting each house soon enough, so for now make just your way to
the save point then head north west to the tall Pagoda.
In the next screen along head into the house on your right where you can rest
for free in the room just on the left. Once you've slept, head through the
concealed passage way on the left to find a chest containing the [MAGIC
SHURIKEN].
Now head back to the entrance and this time go right. You'll see an obviously
hidden door on the lower right of the screen, head down another passage way
for the [HAIRPIN].
Back out of the corridor then talk to the sleeping man in the northern room
several times. He will eventually reveal himself to have been lying, and once
Godo and Yuffie have finished arguing make your way back into the main part
of Wutai (you could chase after Yuffie if you wanted to, but it would be in
vain).
Before continuing, stop by the south western most building which just so
happens to be - the Turtle Paradise! Here you can engage in some dialogue
with the Turks here, you can also read their promotional advert just outside
on the billboard (make sure to do this).
When you're ready, head into the house next to the save point and open the
chest for the [MP ABSORB MATERIA], GRAB THAT MATERIA! We can buy items from
the shop a little later on, but for now we just want our Materia back!
Head to the very entrance of Wutai and enter the house on the right. You'll
find Yuffie hiding behind the curtain rack. Next make your way over to the
Turtle Paradise. In case you didn't spot it yourself, she's hiding in the pot
just outside. Smash it a few times to annoy Yuffie, she'll then concede and
agree to give you your Materia back.
After watching a commotion stirring with the Turks, you'll eventually regain
control of Cloud. Head downstairs and check the notice just outside for the
[Turtle Paradise Poster #6]. It doesn't matter which switch you pull here,
the outcome is always the same. Flick the switch once more, then leave
Yuffie's house.
Head all the way back to the tall Pagoda, but this time head to the structure
on the left. Ring the bell here to open up (yet another) secret passageway.
After bumping into a certain randy little fellow, you'll be able to open the
chests here for a [SWIFT BOLT] and an [Elixir].
Head upstairs now to somehow end up in a fight with the Shinra. It'll be the
same Attack Squads that you fought near the bridges earlier. Once you've
annihilated them step outside and talk to Reno, then head over to the save
point and save.
Now would be a good time to head into the shop to the left to stock up on a
few Fire Veils and Swift Bolts. Also, you can buy the Choco Feather here for
10,000 gil, but if you've got the Sprint Shoes then it isn't really
necessary. Plus, you'll have a shot at obtaining one for free the next time
we visit the Gold Saucer, anyway (which really isn't that hard).
NOTE - I know I have recommended Aeris & Tifa for this sidequest, just bear
in mind the upcoming Boss is pretty solid, especially with your lack
of Materia. If you're a low level, consider choosing your strongest
and preferably long ranged characters to have by your side. I'm more
than confident with my current level, so I'm sticking with Tifa &
Aeris.

--Items - Dragoon Lance
--Boss - Rapps Lv 39 (Peace Ring)
Make your way north from the save point over a bridge to arrive at the foot
of the statue. Heading left towards the Goku statue leads to nothing, so head
along the right path. Heading right once more will lead to nothing so keep
heading round to the left.
Heading north leads to nothing, so head into the cave. Here you'll find a
green chest containing the [DRAGOON LANCE]. We'll be returning to this spot
much later on in the game to put those flames out; there are some pretty
decent items concealed behind them.
Now head out of the caves but, before heading south consider battling until
all of your Limit Breaks are full, this is going to be one tricky Boss! If
you've still got the Fury Ring equipped onto Cloud then I suggest replacing
it with the Sprint Shoes. Also, put all of your characters in the back row
and arrange your items by 'Type'. Don't forget to heal.
When you're ready head into the southern screen to see what Don Corneo's up
to, he'll eventually release his new pet, Rapps (as opposed to 'Aps', Boss
Battle 3)!

* This is one tough Boss!. He will use his | ---------Lv: | 39-------- | *
* Aero 3 move which will inflict roughly 1500 | ---------HP: | 6000------ | *
* HP, so be very careful. You may get through | ---------MP: | 300------- | *

* their Limit gauges to deplete. If one of | -------DROP: | Peace Ring | *
* your characters do die however, then Cloud's | ----NULLIFY: | GRV------- | *
* weapon, the Yoshiyuki, will do 2x damage, |___________________________| *
* and if two characters were to die then it *
* would deliver 3x damage. A risky strategy, but effective. Don't forget to *
* use your battle items such as Swift Bolts and Fire Veils. Once he is *
* destroyed you'll receive another [PEACE RING], as well as a whopping *
* 20,000 gil! *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
After the Boss you'll have the same dialogue options as that you had the last
time you encountered Don Corneo, and like before it doesn't matter which one
you choose although 2 is the correct answer. Eventually, Yuffie will have
given you back your Materia and you'll have control of Cloud again on the
World Map. We're not quite finished with Wutai just yet, so head back inside.

--D1.18 C - The Pagoda (�Come as if you're trying to kill me! If you don't...
then I'll have to kill you!�)
--Items - HP Absorb Materia
--Boss - Gorkii Lv 30, Shake Lv 32, Chekhov Lv 34 (Ice Ring),
Staniv Lv 36, Godo Lv 41 (All Creation)
--Required gil - 54,800
--Extra - Turtle Paradise Poster #7, Turtle Paradise Reward:
Power Source, Guard Source, Magic Source, Mind Source,
Speed Source, Luck Source & Megalixir.
Leviathan Materia
Run directly north from the entrance to enter the house that's full of
cats. The stairs that are right in front of you were previously blocked, but
you can now climb them to find a chest containing the [HP ABSORB MATERIA],
GRAB THAT MATERIA!
Now head back outside and enter the building to the left of the entrance
which is the now opened Weapon Shop. Every weapon here is new, but they also
come with a hefty price tag:
1 x Murasame O=O O=O O - Cloud - 6500 gil
1 x Diamond Knuckle O=O O=O O - Tifa - 5800 gil
1 x Chainsaw O=O O=O O - Barret - 6300 gil
1 x Aurora Rod O=O O=O O - Aeris - 5800 gil
1 x Gold Barrette O=O O=O O - Red XIII - 6000 gil
1 x Slash Lance O=O O=O O - Cid - 6500 gil
1 x Blue M-Phone O=O O=O O - Cait Sith - 5500 gil
1 x Razor Ring O=O O=O O - Yuffie - 6000 gil
1 x Shortbarrel O=O O=O O - Vincent - 6400 gil
Total - 54,800 gil
NOTES - In my opinion the Murasame is the baddest looking sword for Cloud,
probably because it's a perfect copy of Sephiroth's Masamune Blade.
- If you can't afford every item, then be sure to grab Yuffie's Razor
Ring!
Purchase what you will, just remember that you have a limitless gil supply
from the Sea Worms in Mideel, and Trickplay near Bone Village. Next make your
way into the Turtle Paradise to read the final [Turtle Paradise Poster #7]
just outside on a billboard if you haven't already. Now head inside to claim
your prize!

] [
] SIDE NOTE - FINISHING THE TURTLE PARADISE SIDE QUEST [
] [
] If you've been paying close attention to this guide then you will have [
] read all 6 Turtle Paradise Newsletters that are scattered across Gaia, and [
] also the promotional newsletter just outside of the Turtle Paradise. Talk [
] to the guy behind the counter to claim your prize: [
] [
] 1 x Power Source, 1 x Guard Source, 1 x Magic Source, 1 x Mind Source, [
] 1 x Speed Source, 1 x Luck Source & 1 x Megalixir. Not bad, eh'? [
] [
] If you have missed a newsletter then you will not be able to claim your [
] prize. Here is a recap of where you can find all 7: [
] [
] 1.) Midgar - Sector 5 Slums in the Sleeping Boy's room. If you missed this [
] the first time around then you can revisit this area much later on [
] during Disks 2 + 3. [
] [
] 2.) Midgar - 1st Floor of the Shinra HQ. You only have 2 opportunities in [
] the game in which you can read this. If you missed it the first time [
] around then you'll have to wait until the end of Disk 2 when you [
] re-visit Midgar. [
] [
] 3.) Gold Saucer - Ghost Square in the Hotel Lobby. [
] [
] 4.) Cosmo Canyon - Tiger Lily's Weapon Shop to the left of the counter. [
] [
] 5.) Cosmo Canyon - The Inn near the Cosmo Flame. Just left of the counter. [
] [
] 6.) Wutai - Yuffie's house in the basement. [
] [
] 7.) Wutai - Outside the Turtle Paradise on a billboard. [
] [
] NOTE - Just in case you'd forgotten, keep stock piling up all of your [
] Sources. You can start using them when you are ready to Source farm [
] on Disk 2/3 in the Sunken Gelnika. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Now it's time to embark on the added mini-quest following Yuffie's sidequest,
the 5 Levels of the Pagoda! Here we have to battle 5 Bosses one after the
other whilst they become increasingly harder, and we can only use Yuffie! Set
Yuffie up with the best equipment and Materia, save and then head to the
Pagoda. Don't forget to rest in the building to the right of the Pagoda
screen.
NOTE - If you failed to complete Yuffie's sidequest prior to Disk 3, then
this added mini-quest will still be available to do.
Here is my set-up going in. Note that all of these Bosses are vulnerable to
Slow and Poison.
Yuffie - Lv 32 (Back)
Razor Ring - Elemental=Choco/Mog, Added Effect=Time, Poison
Diamond Bangle - Elemental=Gravity, Enemy Skill, Counter Attack, HP Plus
Champion Belt
If you wanted to you could just go all out on the offensive with the
Superball (if you had obtained it from the 7th Fort Condor Battle), but I
don't think it's necessary. *Note* that my Lv 2 Elemental is in my armour and
my Lv 1 Elemental is in my weapon. this will nullify any Gravity based
attacks, whereas a Lv 1 Elemental would just halve it. There is no varying
effect when placing an Elemental of varying levels in your weapon.
NOTE - Losing any of the following battles will *not* result in a Game Over.
Speak to Gorky, the first boss of the Pagoda (although when you battle him
his name will appear as Gorkii).

* Wind based attacks and Limits. Just make sure |_________________________| *
* to use White Wind when your health drops below *
* 1/2. *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
After the Battle has finished, equip Cloud with Restore and use his Cure to
heal Yuffie. Then remove all of her Elemental Combo's and replace them with
some more HP Plus's, Restore and whatever else you want. I whacked on MP
Absorb and linked it with Poison. Then head upstairs and speak to Shake, the
second Boss of the Pagoda.

* Yuffie with Fury, but let's face it, it's | ---------AP: | 50--------- | *
* not really the worst Status in the World. | -------DROP: | Turbo Ether | *
* If you're that bothered by it then you can | ----NULLIFY: | GRV-------- | *
* equip a Peace Ring, but I think I'll stick |____________________________| *
* with my Champion Belt. In fact, with Bio2, *
* Big Guard, Belts and Limit Breaks, you should see Shake's beak break so *
* she can't call her team mates (uh)! *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
After the battle, cure Yuffie of her Fury Status and then heal. You may need
to use an Ether or two, or you could just head back to the mattresses to
sleep. Equip a Jem Ring to protect you from being Paralyzed, then head to the
next floor to speak to Chekhov, the third Boss of the Pagoda.

* of Beta and Trine seeing as your physical | ---------AP: | 50------ | *
* attacks are now weaker due to lacking the | -------DROP: | Ice Ring | *
* Champion Belt. If you've still got the Added | ----NULLIFY: | GRV----- | *
* Effect=Time combo on your weapon then you'll |_________________________| *
* have a chance of slowing or even stopping him *
* every time you attack. You'll be rewarded with the [ICE RING] once he's *
* been vanquished, which will complete your collection of having a Fire, Ice *
* & Bolt Ring (assuming you got your last two digits of your battle count *
* to be even whilst obtaining the Mythril). *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
Restore your HP/MP and equip the Champion Belt. The next enemy will inflict
you with Sadness, but I wouldn't bother equipping a Peace Ring as it's not
the most detrimental Status to have. Head upstairs to face Staniv, the fourth
Boss of the Pagoda.

Now we only have one fight left, but I strongly suggest leaving this battle
until later on in the game!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - TRINE [
] [
] If you are a completionist like myself then you are going to want to leave [
] this battle until you have obtained all 4 Enemy Skill Materias. Godo is [
] the second of three enemies that will use Trine, and although the third [
] enemy to use the move will do so *after* we've obtained the third Enemy [
] Skill, we won't be able to revisit that particular area once the fourth [
] and final E-Skill Materia has been obtained. And we've already killed the [
] Materia Keeper, leaving Godo as the last remaining creature to learn Trine [
] from. [
] [
] Only one E-Skill is required to be filled for the Materia Overlord [
] Achievement, but for reasons not worth going into at this stage in the [
] game I suggest filling all of them up (it'll help for an end-game battle). [
] If you were to decide to just finish the Pagoda sidequest now then not [
] much harm would come of it, although I am leaving it until later. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
If you do decide to battle the final Boss then take heed, this Boss is hard
and requires preparation. You are going to want to save before the fight as
well as restoring your HP/MP at the beds. Set your Materia up accordingly:
Yuffie - Lv 33 (Back)
Razor Ring - Time, Poison, Restore, Enemy Skill, Counter Attack
Diamond Bangle - Elemental=Gravity, Added Effect=Transform, HP Plus
Peace Ring

* | GODO | | BOSS BATTLE: | 23 | *
* |________________________________________| |______________|______________| *
* | | | *
* Godo is by far the toughest Boss yet. In | ---------Lv: | 41---------- | *
* fact, all of the 4 previous Bosses could | ---------HP: | 10000------- | *
* probably be referred to as Sub-Bosses | ---------MP: | 1000-------- | *
* compared to Godo. He has three faces and | --------EXP: | 5000-------- | *
* will only use certain moves according to | ---------AP: | 60---------- | *
* what face is showing, and he can switch | --------GIL: | 40000------- | *
* faces at any time. Make sure to have the | -------DROP: | All Creation | *
* Peace Ring equipped. |_____________________________| *
* *
* Red Face - Beast Sword, Trine *
* Gold Face - Sleepel/Confu, Mini *
* White Face - Drain, Bio2, Demi3 *
* *
* Open by casting Slow on him, then Bio2 and then Big Guard. Keep your HP *
* topped up above 1000 as Trine will hit hard. If you've unlocked Regen then *
* use it, otherwise use Cure2 and White Wind to heal and to cure you from *
* Poison (respectively). This Boss does have one major weakness that you can *
* exploit, unlike most other bosses in the game it won't nullify your *
* Gravity based attacks which means you can use Laser and Demi to massively *
* weaken him. *
* *
* The most annoying thing about him is his ability to cure himself, which he *
* will do so a lot. He'll also cure Yuffie if her health is minimal. Beta *
* works really well here, and so does Yuffie's 2-2 Limit Bloodfest if you've *
* managed to unlock it. Once he's been defeated you will receive the [ALL *
* CREATION] which is Yuffie's Lv 4 Limit Break Manual, along with a whopping *
* 40,000 gil! *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
Once Godo is finished he will also hand over the Leviathan (Summon) Materia
which is our second (and last) Water based Materia. This will unlock the
Making Waves Trophy.
That just about wraps up everything there is to do in Wutai, well for now
anyway. We'll return once we have acquired the Leviathan Scales to obtain the
items within the cavern behind the flames, and also to defeat Godo if you
haven't already. Rest up and then head out of Wutai.
NOTES - If you have been following this guide in the order intended then your
next stop will be the Gold Saucer. Here we are going to have to
compete in a mandatory Battle in the Battle Arena, so don't spend a
great deal of time setting up your Materia.
- Do however whack your Enemy Skills and Manipulate on and battle
around near Wutai in the grass area to learn the Magic Hammer Enemy
Skill from the Razor Weed, and Death Force from the Adamantaimai if
you haven't already.. Oh, and also..
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - SUPPORT MATERIA COMBOS [
] [
] you can link multiple Support (blue) Materias to one magic. For example, [
] should you have 2 x Lv 2 Ice Materias to hand then you can Link one of [
] them with All, and the other one with HP Absorb. You will then enable a x2 [
] combo where you will absorb the HP from all of the enemies, as well as [
] hitting them all with Ice. [
] [
] There are restrictions when combining Materia this way. For example, if [
] one of the Ices was at Lv2 and one of them was at Lv 1 then the x2 combo [
] would only take effect when you cast Ice (as opposed to Ice2). Basically, [
] the combo would only be as strong as its weakest Ice Materia. Much later [
] on in the game we'll be able to utilise up to 8x combo's for devastating [
] effect!! [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
NOTE - You can also equip HP/MP Absorb to Deathblow or Steal! That would
probably be a better choice for now. I just wanted to make you aware
of some of the ways in which Support Materia can be used seeing as
the Materia system really is starting to get under-way quite nicely.

--D1.19 A - The Battle (�Heh, heh, heh. Entertain me!�)
--Extra - Keystone, Protect Vest, Choco Feather
Now make your way back to the Gold Saucer remembering to cut through the
river that separates Nibelheim from Cosmo Canyon. As mentioned, you'll have a
mandatory battle with just Cloud, so set up the following. Note that the
Choco/Mog set-up here is optional. Remember to save and then rest up at North
Corel, if you win all 8 battles you'll be rewarded with a little extra!
Cloud - Lv 38 (Back)
Murasame - Added Effect=Time, Elemental=Choco/Mog, Enemy Skill
Diamond Bangle - Heal, Restore, Counter Attack, Long Range, HP Plus
White Cape
Make your way into the showroom which can be found to the right as you enter
the Battle Square. Inspect the blue Keystone you see here to barter with Dio
for it. Agree to entertain him and you'll wind up in the Battle Arena. Don't
forget to use the newly acquired Death Force Enemy Skill, as well as Regen if
you have it.
NOTE - You don't keep the BP you earn during this battle, so you don't need
to try to get the 'harder' handicaps. Also, it doesn't matter if you
finish or not, you'll get the Keystone either way, but you do need to
finish all eight battles for Dio to throw in a Protect Vest and a
Choco Feather on top.
After receiving the Keystone head back to the rope-way to find some bad news.
Oh well, at least we get to spend the night for free!

--D1.19 B - The Date (�I been here since the beginnin', an' I still don't
know what the hell's goin' on either.�)
--Items - Elixir
--Extra - Fort Condor Battle #9 - 3x Turbo Ethers
Whilst in the Hotel I suggest letting Cloud tell his version of the story
so far, you'll find it to be very interesting I'm sure. Once you're in your
room you'll be visited by one of your teammates... And so concludes the
Affection Game!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - GOLD SAUCER DATING GAME [
] [
] So, since the very beginning of the game our character's affection [
] ratings have been going up and down according to the decisions we've been [
] making throughout. The outcome of this mini-game is a date from the [
] character that has the highest affinity towards you when you re-visit the [
] Gold Saucer. Only four characters are candidates for this date, and they [
] are Aeris Tifa Yuffie & Barret (If you've been following my Best Bromance [
] Trophy notes, then Barret will be your date for the evening, and the [
] trophy will pop as soon as you enter the foyer. For more information on [
] how to date the character of your choice, read section E.01 for more info. [
] Note the Red XIII, Cid, Vincent and Cait Sith have no affection ratings [
] whatsoever. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
NOTE - If Barret wasn't chosen, then you can revert back to your save
outside of Cosmo Canyon to make you of the glitch there. See section
E.01 B for more info.
The date will begin with a trip to the Event Square. You can play along with
the dialogue options here, or you can mess them up. Messing them up can be
rather funny (this scene won't occur if Barret is your date).
Afterwards you'll take a ride on the Gondola within the Round Square. You'll
see a few pretty sights as well as listening to some pretty deep dialogue
with either Tifa or Aeris, or some fairly comical dialogue with Barret or
Yuffie. You'll have to understand the story much more in-depth to fully
understand what Aeris or Tifa actually meant.
As you leave the Round Square you'll see none other than Cait Sith. Wait,
what's that he's holding? Chase after him until you get to the Chocobo Square
where he'll reveal to you his true motives and plans. Not cool Cait Sith, not
cool. Back in the hotel you'll get one chance to grab the [ELIXIR] that's
hiding in the cupboard in the top right corner.
When you leave your room you'll have to form a party consisting of Aeris.
Make sure to stock up on Tranquilizers and other items before heading out.
Now make your way to the Tiny Bronco and then head for that pyramid that you
saw earlier on the way to Fort Condor (you probably figured out then that it
was The Temple of The Ancients), and scoot right past it to Fort Condor once
more!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - FORT CONDOR BATTLE No.9 [
] [
] You must complete this before entering the Temple of The Ancients. Your [
] prize will be 3 x Turbo Ethers (unless of course you've missed out a [
] battle, in which case your prize will be the previous one). [

Make your way into the Temple of the Ancients. As you enter you'll have a
small amount of dialogue to read, you'll then have to place the keystone into
the alter. Once this is done you will be transported deep within the TOTA,
and you won�t be able to leave until you've progressed with the story.
This area looks a lot less linear than it actually is. Follow the path to
descend down the vine, then head to the right for a chest containing the
[TRIDENT]. Then climb up the long vine to come to an impassable door. (I
believe the quote is a reference to the game Chrono Trigger).
Now climb the second vine to grab the [MIND SOURCE], then head through the
archway to the left. Here can talk to the weird looking Temple Keeper, then
talk to him a second time to either save, rest or buy a few items. When you
are finished grab the chest to the right for the [SILVER RIFLE].
Now head back out and down the vine, this time heading through the archway to
pick up the [TURBO ETHER]. Now head down the long flight of stairs and keep
following the path round to come to a chest containing the [ROCKET PUNCH].
Climb the small vine then head up the stairs and through the unmarked alcove.
Following it round to the right climb the large vine, then head to the end of
the path to GRAB THAT MATERIA! the [LUCK PLUS MATERIA] (even though it'll
read 'Lucky Plus Materia', fixed on the Steam PS4 version). If you miss this
piece here then you'll never be able to come back for it.
Now make your way back round to the marked alcove that the Temple Keeper went
through, we'll return to the visible chest very shortly.
This next room has a fairly obvious mini-game. Simply run at the right time
to avoid the rolling boulders, stopping to GRAB THE MATERIA! the [MORPH
MATERIA] (at last). When you make it to the other end the boulders will stop
falling and Aeris will get worried, then she'll insist that you look into the
pool of spirit energy.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - MORPH [
] [
] Morph will basically hit you opponent for roughly 12.5% of is normal [
] power, but if delivers the final blow then your opponent will be [
] transformed into an item (if applicable, not all enemies can be morphed). [
] Some of the items that are obtained this way can be incredibly valuable. [
] Moves such as L4 Suicide, Demi and Laser help out also. [
] [
] NOTE - There is a weapon for Yuffie called the Conformer which is the [
] only weapon in the game that can Morph for normal damage, and [
] because of this awesomeness Yuffie will be in my final team. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
After you have viewed the events that have taken place, head right to the
Temple Keeper to rest and save, but you can no longer buy items from him
(what, did he lose his merchandise or something? Or did you just buy it
all...). Head down into the next room to enter into the clock room.

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| The 8 eye and the Jemnezmy are one time encounters only but the Ancient |
| Dragon can be fought randomly in the Mural room along with the Doorbull. |
| For the first time in the game we have encountered enemies that are weak |
| against Poison (the Element, not the Status), so make sure to have it |
| equipped, Also, make good use of the Morph Materia and morph yourself a |
| few Magic Sources from the 8 eye (remove counter attack). |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Nail Bat, Princess Guard, Ribbon, Trumpet Shell, Megalixir,
Work Glove, Bahamut Materia,
--Boss - Red Dragon Lv 39 (Dragon Armlet), Demons Gate Lv 45 (Gigas Armlet)
Press:
/_\ to move the clock hands manually
O to spin them randomly
X to proceed
The first thing that you're going to want to do is to press X to proceed,
then stand on the hour hand and wait for the second hand to sweep you off.
When you land you'll have to fight 2 x Ancient Dragons, then you'll be able
to open the chest containing the [NAIL BAT]. (We're starting to complete our
collection of 0 slotted, high attack powered weapons)
Exit to find yourself back within the stairs and vines area (you just came
through the 'sealed' door from earlier). Make your way back round to the
boulder room and then save. Now head into the clock room and set the minute
hand to I.
Room I - Battle encounter with 1 x Jemnezmy and 2 x Toxic Frogs. Use Bio2
to kill Jemnezmy instantly.
Now head back into the clock room and without changing the clock hands run
straight back into the boulder room. Then you can run back into the clock
room to just change the minute hand once, this is the quickest way of
navigating the Time Guardian. Save using the Temple Keeper, also.
Room II - Dead End.
Room III - Battle encounter with 2 x 8 eye. I suggest weakening them with
moves like Matra Magic first, then just using morph so that you
obtain a few Magic Sources. If you're not bothered by this then
you can just use Bio2 to obliterate them. Their drain move is
excellent for filling up Limit Breaks aswell.
Room IV - Chest containing the [PRINCESS GUARD]. This is Aeris's ultimate
weapon, equip it if you don't have the Umbrella for her. As with
the Yoshiyuki, this weapon will double in power when one of
Aeris's companions are KO'd, and will triple in power when 2 are
KO'd.
Room V - Leads back to the chest in the 'stairs and vines' area we saw
earlier containing the [RIBBON]. Equip it now!
Room VI - We'll return here shortly.
Room VII - Chest containing the [TRUMPET SHELL].
Room VIII - Chest containing the Squall Lionheart. Joke, it's a [MEGALIXIR].
Room IX - Dead End.
Room X - Boulder Room.
Room XI - Dead End.
Room XII - We'll return here later.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - RIBBON [
] [
] This is probably the best accessory in the game as it will protect against [
] all abnormal Statuses. To be precise, it will defend against: [
] [
] Sleep, Poison, Sadness, Fury, Confusion, Silence, Frog, Small, Slow-Numb, [
] Petrify, Death-Sentence, Berserk, Paralyzed & Darkness. [
] [
] NOTE - You can still inflict Fury and Sadness upon yourself as long as [
] you do so outside of battle. The Ribbon will only prevent an enemy [
] from inflicting them upon you. Also, the Ribbon won't protect you [
] from Death, so using the Death Force E-Skill, or equipping Added [
] Effect=Destruct to ones armour would be advisable against enemies [
] that can cause instant death. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Head into room VI to find that the Temple keeper has locked the door. There
are 9 exits here, you'll have to number the exits from 1-9, left to right top
to bottom. Whichever exit the Keeper took, run through the corresponding door
as below:
1 = 4
2 = 7
3 = 9
4 = 2
5 = 6
6 = 3
7 = 8
8 = 5
9 = 1
Once you've caught him he'll unlock the door for you. Don't forget that you
can jump down to the lower level on the left, do so to grab the chest at the
bottom for the [WORK GLOVE]. Rest and save, then head into the Mural room to
learn a great deal about Sephiroth's plan. After Cloud has had another little
episode, you'll eventually be face to face with:

GRAB THAT MATERIA! Once the battle has finished make sure to grab the
[BAHAMUT MATERIA] (unlocking the Waiting in the Wings Trophy). This bad-boy
summon is permanently missable.
Now head over to the right to inspect the floating object on the small alter.
You have to trust Cait Sith here, when you are ready, leave the Mural room.
It wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to battle around for a bit to try
and fill up your Limit Breaks before leaving. Heal and save aswell.
NOTE - Just as in Sector 7 right at the beginning of the game, Aeris will be
leaving your party again. And just like before, you are going to lose
whatever Armour she is wearing, although her Materia and Accessory
will be returned to you, so make sure that she isn't wearing
something unique like the Edincoat. I equipped her with the Silver
Armlet. The annoying thing is that we won't get a chance to un-equip
Aeris after the upcoming Boss battle, so you'll have to step into it
without your optimal set-up. Note that you can actually un-equip
Aeris after the battle, but the window in which to do this is so
tight that you'd be better off just playing it on the safe side by un-
equipping her now.
Make your way back to the Clock Room to find that the hands are fixed at 12
o'clock. Equip the Bahamut Materia and head through to door 12, after an
amount of dialogue you'll be up against:

After you have defeated the Demons Gate some crucially important events will
unfold. You won�t need to pick up this walkthrough again until you have
regained control of Cloud in Gongaga Village.

--Items - Kjata Materia (Unless you've already obtained it)
--Extra - Buntline, Mop, Megalixir, Lunar Harp
Fort Condor Battle #10 - 5x X-potions
Fort Condor Battle #11 - 5x X Potions
NOTE - Now that you have the Morph Materia it wouldn't be the worst idea in
the world to head to ruined reactor before leaving Gongaga. Here you
can fight the Heavy Tank which can be morphed into Power Sources.
They have 1600 HP, and if you decide not to spend time here now then
definitely come back once you've obtained Yuffie's Conformer.
Once you leave Gongaga you will find your plane to the south. PHS in
whichever party you desire, I'm sticking with Barret & Tifa. Jump into the
Tiny Bronco and start making your way to Fort Condor. This is my set-up
heading out:
1) Cloud - Lv 40 (Back)
Murasame - All=Restore, Heal, Morph, Sense
Diamond Bangle - Added Effect=Transform, HP Plus, MP Plus, Long Range
Champion Belt
2) Barret - Lv 33 (Front)
Chainsaw - All=Time, Revive, Enemy Skill, Manipulate
Diamond Bangle - HP Absorb=Deathblow, Elemental=Ice, HP Plus
Champion Belt
3) Tifa - Lv 36 (Front)
Work Glove -
Dragon Armlet - All=Gravity, E-Skill, Steal, Speed Plus, HP Plus
Ribbon
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - FORT CONDOR BATTLE No. 10 [
] [
] Your prize this time will be 5 x X-Potions even though the game will [
] indicate otherwise. You must complete this before using the Lunar Harp in [
] Bone Village. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Now make your way up to the Northern Continent. If you've been following my
guide exactly then you should remember how to get there from before. If not
then just keep heading north along the east side of the Eastern Continent,
past the Chocobo Ranch and Kalm to eventually come to some huge dinosaur
bones surrounded by forest. Again, avoid battling here, just head straight
into Bone Village.
You can talk to the guy on the right her more info if you like, otherwise
talk to the foreman on the left. Here you'll be able to search for either the
Lunar Harp (which is required to continue with the game), good treasure or
normal treasure.
This is how this mini-game works - when you order a search in a particular
spot a worker will then come and stand in that spot, costing you 100 gil.
Once all 5 workers have been placed you'll be able detonate a bomb, all of
the workers will then look at a particular spot. The treasure that they have
located will have be dug up in that spot. You don't have to buy all the
workers if you don't want to, in fact you can even dig for free but your
chances of finding something will be remote, unless of course you happen to
have a strategy guide knocking about. You do? Goody goody.
There are only certain items that we can obtain at this point in the game,
I'll update you when it is necessary to. For a complete rundown see section
E.12. For now, here's a map of what's up for grabs, and where you can find
them: (The same map can be found in section F.08.)

Spot 1 - Normal Treasure. Just to the right of the entrance.
Elixir (14%, unlimited supply), Nothing (85%)
Spot 2 - Normal Treasure. Just to the left of the entrance.
Potion (50%, unlimited supply), Nothing (50%) [default]
Spot 3 - Good Treasure. Just to the right of where the foreman sits.
Megalixir (100%, once only), Nothing (100% afterwards)
Spot 4 - Good Treasure. Base of the ladders and to the left on the 'X'.
Mop (100%, Once only), Nothing (100% afterwards)
Spot 5 - Good Treasure. Top of the ladders and to the right.
Buntline (100%, once only), Nothing (100% afterwards)
Spot 6 - Normal Treasure. Top of the ladders just right of the black mound.
Turbo Ether (8%, unlimited supply), Ether (92%, unlimited supply)
Spot 7 - Normal Treasure. Just to the left of the black mound.
Ether (30%, unlimited supply), Nothing (70%)
Spot 8 - Lunar Harp. Just NW of spot 7.
Lunar Harp (100%, once only), Nothing (100% afterwards)
So, as you can see there are 3 good treasure spots and 4 normal treasure
spots. you will respectively have around a 33% chance or 25% chance of a
particular spot to get chosen, but only if you actually order worker to
search (this only applies to normal treasure).
With the good treasure you'll have to place one staff next to each spot to
ascertain as to which of the three spots holds the treasure, whereas with
normal treasure you could just keep going to spot 6, selecting option 2
(done) then search there for an infinite number of free Ethers! This is a
mediocre way to obtain gil without becoming overpowered through battling, as
they sell for 750 each!.
Note that if you'd positioned yourself incorrectly, thereby missing the
correct search spot completely then by default your prize will be as if they
had searched spot 2.
NOTE - When you use the excavation site, you also spend the night there,
restoring your HP/MP!
After obtaining the Lunar Harp, I suggest searching for the three available
good treasures to obtain the Megalixir (spot 3), the Mop (spot 4) and the
Buntline (Spot 5). Once you are ready to continue, head into the sleeping
forest.
After you have awoken the sleeping forest you can grab the Kjata/Kujata
Materia that you will see floating around, if you haven't done so already. If
you've been doing all of the Fort Condor Battles so far, then now is the time
to do a U turn.

--Items - Water Ring, Magic Source, Aurora Armlet, Guard Source, Elixir,
Enemy Skill Materia, Comet Materia
--Boss - Jenova-LIFE Lv 50 (Wizard Bracelet)
--Extra - Fort Condor Battle #12 - 5x X-Potions
The first screen you see is, according to Metal Gear Solid Boy's
Training/Random encounter FAQ, the best area in the whole of disk 1 to train.
With between 4 and 5 enemies per battle you'll be raking in those kills, not
to mention AP & EXP. Only consider training here if you're at a low level.
First run under the log bridge to open the chest containing the [WATER RING].
This will drain water based attacks. Now head up and through the log to the
next screen. Follow the spiny path to exit on the World Map in a small ravine
just north of Bone Village.
Head into the circular object to enter into Forgotten Capitol. Here the path
will split 3 ways, take the left path first. You will come to a tall house,
enter inside to find a save point, a crystal harbouring the words of the
Ancients, and a chest containing a [MAGIC SOURCE].
Now head out of the house and make your way to the right to enter a large
cavern. You can explore around here if you like, but other than the chest at
the bottom containing the [AURORA ARMLET], there's not much to do here now.
The Aurora Armlet will drain Ice based attacks, and it also has very high
defence. Remember that the Magic Defence stat means nothing, it is always
equal to your Spirit (unless you're playing the Steam/PS4 version).
Now make your way back to the 3 way split, this time heading right. In the
first house (well, more like giant shell) you'll find more unrecognisable
words from the Ancients, as well as a chest on the top floor containing a
[GUARD SOURCE].
Head back outside. You could dash straight past the next shell, but there
wouldn't be any need. Heading down the west path would bring you to the
opposite entrance to the cavern you just explored, and heading north is
impossible at this stage as one of your comrades will stop you from venturing
further on. So, head into the middle shell and pick up the [ELIXIR] from the
chest on the right.
Now head up the ladders to get some rest. During the night Cloud will wake up
in distress. Before doing anything else, look behind the top bed for the
third [ENEMY SKILL MATERIA]. GRAB (and equip) THAT MATERIA! Now head back to
the 3 way split, but don't go north just yet, instead, head back to the World
Map.
Regardless of whether or not you're planning to do Fort Condor Battle 12, I
suggest making a quick round trip across the coastlines of Gaia picking up
some of the better Enemy Skills along the way. Heading clockwise, stop off at
Midgar first.
1.) - Matra Magic - Midgar Area, Custom Sweeper. O.K., not the best of
E-Skills to have at this point in the game, but grab it none the less.
2.) - Beta - Marshes near the Chocobo Ranch, Midgar Zolom. An absolute must,
you shouldn't find him a problem now. I wouldn't bother with L4 Suicide.
Just remember that you may end up kill it too quickly, the easiest way
to ensure that it uses Beta before dying is to use Laser or Demi2.
3.) - White Wind - Junon Area, Zemzelett.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - FORT CONDOR BATTLE No. 12 [
] [
] Your prize this time will be 5 x X-Potions even though the game will [
] indicate otherwise. You must complete this before the end of Disk 1. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
4.) - Big Guard - Beaches of Gongaga/Gold Saucer Area, Beachplug. Don't
bother learning Aqualung, we'll be able to learn it very shortly anyway.
5.) - Death Force - Shores of Wutai, Adamantaimai.
6.) - Magic Hammer - Grass area near Wutai Village, Razor Weed. It's a bit of
a trek, but worth it. Then again, we do have Ethers..
You can now continue clockwise to the Northern Continent and into the
sleeping forest once more. You can also learn Death Sentence from the
Boundfat if you really like, but it isn't that great of an E-Skill to have.
We'll obtain the remaining E-Skills once we've acquired the fourth and final
Enemy Skill Materia.
Once you're back at the 3 way split, head north. Note that we are now in the
final stages of disk 1, and if there's anything you wanted to do then now is
the time to do it. If you didn't talk to the man in Rocket town to obtain
Cloud's Yoshiyuki then it will be lost forever. If you're ready to continue
then keep heading north until you arrive at the tranquil shell 'mansion'.
Check the top floor to GRAB THAT MATERIA! the [COMET MATERIA].
NOTE - Lv 2 Comet (Comet2) is probably one of the best magic spells in the
game. Just as with Revive, I suggest placing Comet in your arsenal
and leaving it there until it has levelled up.
Now make your way down the blue stairway to emerge at a type of underworld
(The under-lair of The Ancients?). Keep descending until you arrive at a save
point. You'll have to fight one last boss before disk 1 has finished, and
this boss uses mainly water based attacks. Set yourselves up accordingly,
bearing in mind that I'm taking advantage of the boss's high AP drop by using
Double Growth weapons:
1) Cloud - Lv 40 (Front)
Murasame - Elemental=Titan, HP Absorb=Deathblow, Enemy Skill
Aurora Armlet - Counter Attack, Luck Plus, HP Plus, MP Plus
Champion Belt
2) Barret - Lv 34 (Front)
Chainsaw - Elemental=Earth, Added Effect=Time, Enemy Skill
Rune Armlet - Barrier, Speed Plus, HP Plus, MP Plus
Champion Belt
3) Tifa - Lv 37 (Back)
Platinum Fist - Comet, Revive, HP Plus, MP Plus
Dragon Armlet - All=Restore, (new) Enemy Skill, Sense, Long Range,
Water Ring Bahamut
Don't forget to use a tent before saving. You won�t be able to PHS here,
either. Once you have defeated this final boss you won't need to pick this
guide up again until you have gained control of Cloud on disk 2. Just sit
back, relax and enjoy the amazing, ahead of its time fantasy that only
Hironobu Sakaguchi, Kazushige Nojima & Yoshinori Kitase can bring (the games
story writers). Not forgetting Nobuo Uematsu and Minoru Akao for the amazing
music score! (This is basically SquareSoft/Enix in its prime.)

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| Make sure to have protection from Small as the Hungry like to eat you once |
| they've made you small. The Grimguard uses Ice2 & Bolt2, so equipping the |
| Dragon Armlet will help, also the Grimguard's shield will shift from |
| having high physical defence to having high magic defence with every few |
| hits. The water Armlet can be sold for 5000 gil each, so try to steal a |
| few from the Acrophies. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Viper Halberd, Bolt Armlet, HypnoCrown, Megalixir, Magic Plus
Materia, Power Source
--Extra - Fort Condor Battle #13 - 3x Elixirs
So, now you know why I told you to make a fresh save just before the Temple
of The Ancients. Maybe you already saw it coming, maybe you didn't, either
way, if you haven't taught Aeris her Lv 4 Limit Break - Great Gospel, then
make sure to find the time to train her up in the forest area by Rocket Town
from that save (if you're trying to obtain the See the Light Trophy). Then
come back to your main save when you are ready to continue.
After you've finished shedding your tears, set up your Materia however you
see fit. Here's how I set mine up:
1) Cloud - Lv 41 (Front)
Murasame - All=Restore, Heal, Enemy Skill, Morph
Wizard Bracelet - All=Gravity, MP Absorb=Steal, Sense, Speed Plus,
Champion Belt HP Plus, MP Plus
2) Barret - Lv 35 (Front)
Chainsaw - Added Effect=Time, Enemy Skill, Manipulate, Luck Plus
Diamond Bangle - HP Absorb=Deathblow, Elemental=Ice, HP Plus
Champion Belt
3) Tifa - Lv 37 (Back)
Diamond Knuckle - All=Fire, Comet, Revive, Enemy Skill
Dragon Armlet - Elemental=Shiva, Steal, Long Range, HP Plus, MP Plus
Ribbon
Now run into the middle shell-house and rest. You can now follow Sephiroth
north if you like, or you can head completely back around in the opposite
direction once more...
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - FORT CONDOR BATTLE No. 13 [
] [
] Your prize this time will be 3 x Elixirs. You must complete this before [
] obtaining talking to the guy at the top of the snowboarding cliff in the [
] Icicle Inn. There is only one more optional battle after this one. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
NOTES - Before heading back to the Northern Continent, it might be worth
heading to Mideel to fight the Sea Worms to raise some gil, the next
shop will demand an enormous 93,000 gil from us. Do not fret though,
there is an enemy that we will encounter which carry Water Rings
which we can steal from which can be sold for 5000 gil each. We can
also sell our weapons, I know I said that I wasn't going to do that
again, but I've just worked out that you can make roughly 54,650 gil
that way (depending on how many pieces of amour you have).
- If you don't want to level up, and you don't want to sell your
weapons, then you can dig Ethers at the Bone VIllage dig site (dig
spot 6) for free, selling them for 750 gil each. Or you could just
battle the Trickplay near Bone Village (their Gold Mountain move
increases their value by 800 gil each time they cast it).
- Very shortly, our modes of transport are going to be replaced with
bigger and better things (respectively). The only bad news is that
the Corel Desert (near to the Gold Saucer, not Corral as in where we
are now) will be permanently un-accessible. So, if you did wish to
steal a few Turbo Ethers from the Land Worms, then now would be your
final chance.
Now make your way along the path you saw Sephiroth take to come to a screen
with a giant shell in the middle. To get to the chest on the right side you
have to run up the small slope on the left, then head around the inside of
the shell (as opposed to the outside bit at the top of the slope). It can be
quite tricky to navigate to, your reward will be the [VIPER HALBERD].
Retrace your steps, then ascend the ladder like structure of the shell to
come to the next screen. This cave has many cracks that can be climbed, take
the left crack first then jump to the left at the top. Now climb the crack to
the left that you see all the way to the top to grab the [BOLT ARMLET] from
the chest here.
NOTE - As mentioned, you're going to need a fair amount of gil if you wish
to buy the next set of weapons for everyone, so make sure to steal a
few Water Rings from the Acrophies if & when you encounter them.
Now head down and right. Run all the way over to the right and head down,
then left to grab the chest containing the [HYPNOCROWN]. Then head all the
way back up to grab the [MEGALIXIR] from the chest on the right.
Jump to the left and then take the final crack to the top. Run over to the
ladders and descend all the way tom the bottom to GRAB THAT MATERIA! the
[MAGIC PLUS MATERIA]. Yes, this area is re-visitable. T
Lastly, take the ladders all the way to the top, grab the chest in the next
screen containing the [POWER SOURCE], and then exit out to the World Map!

--Items - Turbo Ether, Hero Drink, Vaccine, X-Potion

Making your way west, you should be able to follow the hills round until
you come to the Icicle Inn. Take note of the fact that when you proceed past
the Icicle you won�t be able to change your party for a while, plus, you'll
be on a time limit of sorts. I suggest choosing your strongest party for
this, but there's no point in setting up your Materia just yet, we've a shed
load of weapons to buy first!
Before we start, I'd first like to say that you should have 2 Peace Rings at
this stage. You only need one seeing as you can use the Ribbon and Added
Effect for the other two players, so that can be sold.
Secondly, you can sell any Star Pendants that you have, the Fairy ring does
the job plus more.
Thirdly, if you were able to steal an amount of Water Rings then you can sell
them, but that shouldn't be necessary if you're selling your weapons.
Lastly, ...erm, we don't really need Aeris's weapons now, do we? Well, I'm
not really asking, I'm telling you that we won�t need them anymore because
she's gone and she's never ever coming back, so sell sell sell!!! (It's what
she would want you to do). Just remember that your inventory may vary
depending on which weapon you had equipped to Aeris when you went into the
Demons Gate battle.
Run into the first house you see on the left for the Weapon Shop. Here is a
list of weapons I have tentatively selected to sell. Note that you'll need to
remove some of the weapons in order to be able to sell them. Also, remember
to arrange your items by type, and to have saved your game.
* = Unique item
Cloud - Butterfly Edge - 1400 gil | Yuffie - Pinwheel - 1300 gil
| Razor Ring - 3000 gil
Tifa - Tiger Fang - 1250 gil |
Diamond Knuckle - 2900 gil | Cait Sith - Green M-Phone - 1200 gil
| Blue M-Phone - 2750 gil
Barret - Heavy Vulcan - 1350 gil |
Chainsaw - 3150 gil | Vincent - Quicksilver - 500 gil
| *Shotgun - 1550 gil
Red XIII - Gold Barrett - 3000 gil | Peacemaker - 1750 gil
| Shortbarrel - 3200 gil
Aeris - Fairy Tale - 1250 gil |
Prism Staff - 1300 gil | Other - Silver Armlet - 650 gil x3
Wizer Staff - 1600 gil | Gold Armlet - 1000 gil x4
Aurora Rod - 2900 gil | Star Pendant - 2000 gil x1
*Princess Guard - 3750 gil | (keep 1) Peace Ring - 3750 gil x1
|
Cid - Spear - 600 gil |
Slash Lance - 3250 gil | Total = 54,650 gil
You can also sell any surplus Water Rings you are carrying. You should now
maybe have the required 93,000 gil to purchase all of weapons on offer here
(it's a bit of a remote place to stock such high value weapons, don't you
think? He'd be better off selling his goods somewhere like Junon, or Midgar):
1 x Organics O=O O=O O O - Cloud - 12,000 gil
1 x Dragon Claw O=O O=O O O - Tifa - 10,000 gil
1 x Microlaser O=O O=O O O - Barret - 12,000 gil
1 x Adaman Clip O=O O=O O O - Red XIII - 11,000 gil
1 x Hawkeye O=O O=O O O - Yuffie - 12,000 gil
1 x Red M-Phone O=O O=O O O - Cait Sith - 11,000 gil
1 x Mast Axe O=O O=O O O - Cid - 13,000 gil
1 x Lariat O=O O=O O O - Vincent - 12,000 gil
Total - 93,000 gil
Now that you've fully cleaned out your, wallet, it's time to head outside and
set up your new party. This was the load out I had:
1) Cloud - Lv 42 (Front)
Organics - All=Restore, All=Time, Heal, Enemy Skill, Sense
Aurora Armlet - Steal, Magic Plus, HP Plus, MP Plus
Ribbon
2) Vincent - Lv 38 (Back)
Sniper CR - Elemental=Ifrit, Enemy Skill, Counter Attack
Dragon Armlet - All=Gravity, HP Absorb=Deathblow, Luck Plus, HP Plus
Champion Belt
3) Cid - Lv 38 (Back)
Long Range, Speed Plus
Dragoon Lance - Comet, Revive, Enemy Skill, Manipulate, Morph, Steal,
Wizard Bracelet - Elemental=Shiva, All=Fire, Added Effect=Mystify,
Champion Belt HP Plus, MP Plus
Now that we're finally set up and ready to go, head into the house just past
the weapon shop. On the bottom floor here is a [TURBO ETHER]. This house
contains a treasure house of knowledge, I highly suggest that you play the
four videos that are available on the upper floor. You will learn a great
deal about the Cetra, Aeris, Jenova, WEAPON, Professor Gast and Ifalna by
watching them.
NOTE - After watching the videos, you will have had a few things clarified
for you. Back in the Shinra Mansion 5 years ago, Sephiroth stated that
Jenova was an Ancient, and that he himself carried Jenova's DNA which
subsequently made him an ancient aswell. This is not the case.
Sephiroth was infused with Jenova's DNA at fetal stage, but the DNA
was not that of an Ancient, rather, an alien (or, 'crisis from the
sky'). A planet destroyer if you will, going from planet to planet
devouring the spirit energy of that planet and then moving on to the
next. Sephiroth, however, has slightly different motives...
We'll come back to the middle house in just a sec, for now head to the
eastern house with the snowman outside. You should be able to make out a map
on one of the walls, grab the Glacier Map as it'll come in handy later on.
Now look inside the room to grab a [HERO DRINK] on the right, and a [VACCINE]
on the left. The Hero Drink is a great item, save it for much later.
Now head over to the north eastern most house. You can sleep here for 200
gil, I suggest doing so. You can head downstairs to the bar to hear some
local gossip if you like, otherwise head to the top floor and look at the
window sill for an [X-POTION].
Make sure that you're fully kitted out and healed up, then save your game.
This is the last point in the game in which you'll be able to use your buggy
and plane. If there's anything left that you want to do on the World Map (as
it currently is) then do it now. When you're ready, talk to the guy at the
very north end of the screen. Choose option 1 - 'I'm still going' to
continue. When you do, some uninvited guests turn up..
You can dodge her punch by pressing up, left or right but you'll have to be
quick! If you weren't fast enough then you'll wake up in Gast�s old house,
otherwise you'll continue on from where you left off. Either way, the town is
now under the command of the Shinra and you cannot leave!
Run into the middle house that we skipped out earlier and head into the back
room. Talk to the boy here to receive his snowboard, it's time to do some
snowboarding!! We're now finished with Icicle Inn, so make sure that you're
ready, then head north to run behind the guy to start the snowboarding
challenge. Before scooting down the mountainside however, you must be aware
of a few things:
NOTES - There are various routes you can take whilst snowboarding, and
depending on the route you take will you'll land in one of four
places within the Glacier. The Glacier can be, to put it mildly, a
bit of a nightmare to navigate. Firstly, its labyrinth like structure
can easily get you lost and disorientated. Secondly, you will pass
out every 544 steps that you take, waking up in a cabin to the far
north. It is possible to pick up all (but one) of the items in one
swoop, but if you do pass out then you'll have find your way back to
where you left off.
- I'd decided that I wasn't going to mention any exploits during this
guide other than the W-Item trick, but what the hey, if you're into
that sort of thing then you can perform a few infinite item glitches
here. Check section E.18 for more info.

] SIDE NOTE - SNOWBOARDING MINI-GAME [
] [
] Yes, this game will reappear it the Wonder Square at the Gold Saucer. [
] There's not much to this really, press Up to get yourself going, X to [
] jump, Square or Down to break and R1 to turn sharply. And obviously Left [
] and Right to turn right and left, un-respectively. [
] [
] You'll receive no reward of any type for hitting all of the balloons or [
] anything, that'll come later on at the Wonder Square. For now, all you [
] need to worry about is the route that you want to take. LEFT + LEFT is the [
] optimal route, if you mess up and take the wrong path by mistake then you [
] can either pick the trail back up, or you can return to Icicle Inn to have [
] another go. More details on how to do that below. [

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| The Bandersnatch and the Jumping are the same from as the ones we fought |
| at the Icicle Area. Obviously equip the Elemental=Ifrit combo, remembering |
| that Ifrit will not penalise your strength whereas the Fire Materia will. |
| Jumping, Ice Golem, Snow & Shred can all be hit with L4 Suicide. The |
| Magnade have very high physical evade, so cast Demi on them. Lastly, make |
| sure to steal a few Circlets from the Snow Witches, these are the |
| magicians equivalent of the Champion Belt, increasing Magic and Spirit by |
| +30! |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
As mentioned, you only have 544 steps before you pass out, which equates to
roughly 2 and a half minutes of movement. When you do pass out, you'll awaken
in a shack at the base of Gaea's Cliff. You don't have to back track for the
missing items if you don't want to, but obviously I would advise grabbing
everything you possibly can.
NOTE - If you mess up the snowboarding challenge and you'd rather try again
to take the advised path (left, left), then you can exit to the World
Map either from the entrance, or even more comically from the area
east of the entrance. Head into the cavern on the right to find a
shoot that will project Cloud out into the World Map. Here you can
head back to Icicle Inn to try the snowboarding game again.
This map should explain where to go far better than I could using just
paragraphs:
(This same map can be found in section F.07)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you'd taken the :-
Left + Right path you would have landed at the entrance. Head north to
continue on from the forest.
Right + Left path you would have landed at the Lone Tree. Head south,
then west to continue on from the forests.
Left + Left path (as advised) you would have landed in the forest.
Right + Right path you would have landed east of the entrance. Make your
way through the south screen to arrive at the entrance then continue
north to come to the forest.
Take as much time as you need to study this map, you aren't on a time limit
or anything. You can also bring up the Glacier Map that you stole by using
Square. Your aim is to make it to area 9 without passing out as it's
extremely difficult to pick up the final item at 11 (Elixir) in one trip.
NOTE - Some screens will have more exits than are marked on this map. Most
of them will lead back to the same routes. For example, when you get
to 11, there will be three northern exits all of which will lead back
to the same route in the screen north of 11 with the Moai face on it.
Don't be put off by the orientation of the through-screens, either.
1.) At the very north of the screen in the forests, you'll be able to pick up
(A), the [MIND SOURCE]. Now head east two screens to 2.
2.) To the north east of the screen you'll be able to pick up (B), the
[POTION]. By not pressing confirm a second time, you can add one to your
inventory whilst retaining the Potion's 'source'. Meaning, it'll still
be there when you run back. Now head north west to 3.
3.) You'll have to step on the ice blocks in a certain sequence here to be
able to get to the other side. The same goes for on the way back. In the
cave ahead you'll be able to find (C), the [SAFETY BIT] (be sure to get
this).
Heading North:
Up, Left, Down, Left, Up, Right, Up, Up, Up, Left, Down, Right, Right , Up
Heading South:
Left, Down, Right, Right, Down, Left, Down, Right, Down, Left
4.) Picking a second 'infinite' potion as you return through section 3, make
your way east two screens to the Lone Tree.
5.) Heading east, make your way 4 screens up to the far eastern mountainside
'split'.
6.) Now head through the far eastern exit, this is a one way path that can
only be travelled on from screen 5. Along the path on the second screen
to the right, you'll just about to be able to make out (D), the [ADDED
CUT MATERIA] in the snow. GRAB THAT AWESOME MATERIA! This whole area is
re-visit able.
NOTE - Added Cut can be paired with Deathblow for devastating effect. In
fact, it's the only reason I've taken Vincent along with me, if
you've followed the exact set-up that I've had (with the Sniper CR)
then replace HP Absorb with Added Cut, Now! Also, you could pair it
with Steal instead if you wished to turn it into 'Mug'.
7.) You should now emerge at the hot springs. MAKE SURE to examine the left
side of it to 'touch it' as you won�t be able to grab the Alexander
Materia otherwise. Then make your way 3 screens to the north to come to
the snow fields.
8.) Every second or so press confirm to lay down a marker. When the wind
throws you off direction, stop moving. Use the markers that you have
placed to pick up your orientation. Firstly, head north to find and
igloo type cavern containing (E) the [ALL MATERIA] (it's not like we
need anymore of these things).
9.) Now head out of the igloo and head east. After you've travelled through
4 screens you'll find yourself on more mountain side paths. Head into
the eastern cavern and replace Counter Attack with Steal. As long as you
touched the hot springs earlier, then you can fight the Snow here, and
even though the music suggests a boss battle it's actually just the same
Snow as listed above. Make sure to steal a Circlet from her. Once she
has been defeated she'll leave behind (F), the [ALEXANDER MATERIA].
Although you can return to this area later on in the game, GRAB THAT
MATERIA! now anyway to save yourselves the hassle (naturally).
NOTE - We now have our first and only piece of Holy Materia! Use it wisely.
10.) As long as you've managed to grab the Alexander Materia without passing
out then you'll have succeeded in grabbing as much as I intended for
you to grab. Don't even attempt to make your way over to the remaining
can make use of there, however. I suggest at this point either making
your way back to the Snow Fields and then north to find Holzoff's
cabin, or just running around until you pass out, you'll then awaken in
his cabin.
Once at the cabin, you'll have to listen to Holzoff's story to
continue. After spending the night there, head outside to hear Barret
embarrass himself, then your teammates will join you. If you're really
not that bothered by the Elixir nor the exploit, then you can continue
down to section D2.03, otherwise head south back to the Snow Fields.
When you head back out you'll have a fresh 544 steps to play with.
11.) From the Snow Fields head all the way to the west 3 screens to arrive at
more cliff sides. Note the face in the northern cliff is a Moai face
that is actually a recurring easter egg found throughout the FF series.
They serve no purpose, and can usually be found in remote locations. The
only other Moai face found in VII is during the Chocobo Races (Ok, not
so remote. Try looking on the bottom of the ocean or on the moon, as in
previous FF's).
Now make your way west 3 screens to arrive at a cavern that can be
entered from both sides. the final item here, the [ELIXIR] (G) can be
duplicated as many times as you please, so long as you don't pick up
the source (exactly like the Potion we saw earlier, but unfortunately
not the Mind Source). Press confirm once to have the message 'Received
Elixir' appear, but DON'T press confirm a second time. Instead, run out
of the cavern and back in again. The Elixir will still be there, and
you'll have added one to your count. As long as you don't accidentally
pick up the source of the eternal Elixir, then you'll be able to keep
coming to this spot as many times as you like. This also applies to the
Steam/PS4 versions.
NOTE - If you're interested in item duplication, then just remember there's
a far, far quicker way of doing so at the end of Disk 2 once you've
obtained the W-Item Materia. Probably the oldest trick in the
walkthrough-book, the W-Item trick will duplicate any item in less
than a second so long as it can be used in battle. Also note that
there are other ways of duplicating rare items such as the Alexander
Materia, but they are so complicated and difficult to perform that
I'm not going to even bother to go into it. For more info see
section E.18.
That just about wraps up everything there is to do within the Great Glacier,
so head over to the base of Gaea's Cliff and into Holzoff's Cabin once more.
Alternatively, you can just run around until you pass out.

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| Make sure that someone has a Ribbon on at all times, and to defend against |
| Ice. This is the last place in the game where you can learn Trine, so if |
| you have defeated the enemy Godo in Wutai then make sure to learn Trine |
| now. Also, equip the Elemental=Leviathan combo to deal with the Malboro if |
| you have it, otherwise just use Aqualung. Bad breath will inflict 8 |
| different Status changes, while Magic Breath will inflict Fire Ice & |
| Lightning damage. When fighting the Malboro you can use L4 Suicide |
| straight away as they more likely to use Bad Breath when their health is |
| low, you can also use Magic Hammer against them to use him as a source of |
| MP. Make sure to obtain a few Dragon Armlets from the Blue Dragon, also. |
| |
| Note that the Blue Dragon uses the Enemy Skill Dragon Force which raises |
| the Def and Mag Def of one character, but due its resistance to being |
| Manipulated you won�t be able to learn it until you face a different enemy |
| in Disk 3. |
| |
| Grab yourself a Holy Torch while you're here; morphed from the Evilhead or |
| the Stilva. You will be able to grab one again from the Battle Square, but |
| it's easier to pick one up here. The Unknown 3 in the Sunken Gelnika also |
| drops them. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Ribbon, Javelin, Elixir, Fire Armlet, Megalixir, Speed Source,
Enhance Sword
--Boss - Schizo (Left) Lv 43 & Schizo (Right) Lv 43 (Protect Ring)
When you are ready, form a party of your choice and then set up your
Materia, rest (by talking to Holzoff) and then finally save. The following
area is *not* re-visitable, so make sure to grab all the collectibles along
the way. This was my set-up heading out, bearing mind that I'm only using
these two characters because I haven't used them in a while, and I'm also
only equipping the All Materias purely for AP, remember that they're worth
1.4 million gil once mastered!
1) Cloud - Lv 43 (Front)
Organics - All=Restore, Comet, Heal, Enemy Skill, Sense
Aurora Armlet - Steal, Magic Plus, HP Plus, MP Plus
Ribbon
2) Cait Sith - Lv 36 (Front)
Speed Plus
Red M-Phone - Added Effect=Time, Counter Attack, Long Range, Luck Plus,
Dragon Armlet - Added Cut=Deathblow, Enemy Skill, Manipulate, HP Plus,
Champion Belt MP Plus
3) Yuffie - Lv 37 (Back)
Hawk Eye - All=Barrier, All=Gravity, Revive, Enemy Skill
Wizard Bracelet - Elemental=Shiva, All=Poison, Morph, Steal, HP Plus,
Champion Belt MP Plus
When you reach the base of the cliff you will notice that your body temp is
on display. Every time you get to a ledge you're going to want to bash Square
to raise you temp up to around 35 degrees. If it falls below 26 then you'll
collapse and return to Holzoff's Cabin.
After the fourth ledge you'll find the entrance to a cavern.
Head through the archway directly north of the entrance. In the next screen,
head up the stairs on the left, and then through the southern exit. Back at
the first screen, head over the bridge on the right, and search for the very
well hidden passage on the other side for a chest containing a [RIBBON]. I
suggest equipping it now.
Now head back to the main screen. Follow the path north and you should be
able to make out a chest slightly off route. Make your way round to it for
the [JAVELIN]. This weapon for Cid is the best Double Growth weapon in the
game, as it has five slots, four of which are linked.
Now head through the opening on the left to arrive back at the 2nd screen,
but this time to the right of where you were initially. Head north through
the archway that is indicated with a green arrow, then run round to the top
ledge. You'll be able to push the boulder here to free up the previously
blocked path. Now follow your way back round to head to the newly opened path.
NOTE - The Stilva basically looks like a small red version of the Materia
Keeper. When you run into her, don't forget to manipulate her to
learn Magic Breath, and more importantly Trine. This is the only time
you'll be able to learn the E-skill Trine in a random battle
encounter.
- Magic Breath is perhaps one of the strongest Enemy Skills in the
game, and surpasses Beta! It does cost a whopping 75MP to cast,
though.
The new path will lead you back round to the first screen, then back outside
for some more climbing. Hitch yourself up then choose 'up' when prompted. On
the next ledge, climb up on the left side and choose 'right' when prompted.
Now climb to the next ledge, then climb up the left side of the ledge to
climb to one final ledge followed by a large cave.
Head to the right first to grab an [ELIXIR] sitting inside a chest. You can
then save if you want using the save point to the north, otherwise just head
through the exit to east. Note that this next screen outside with the two
snowy paths is the only screen in which the Malboro can be fought, so make
sure to learn Bad Breath as it will cause Poison, Sleep, Small, Frog,
Darkness, Silence, Berserk and Confusion! BE SURE to be wearing a Ribbon or
two. You can fight the Malboro again on Disk 3 if you missed them here.
In the cave above you'll see four giant crystals hanging from the roof. You
can equip Elemental=Titan if you like, but it probably isn't necessary. I did
anyway on Cait Sith just for the sake of it. You'll have to fight these giant
icicles on by one, but first open the chest on the right containing the [FIRE
ARMLET].
Like with previous foes, if you kill the main enemy then the fight will end,
but you won�t reap all of the rewards had you killed them all, plus, the
battle spoils here aren't too shabby either. One good blast of Beta should
wipe the floor with 'em. Don't jump to the lower level when prompted, instead
fight all four of them and then continue to the end for a chest containing a
[MEGALIXIR], even though it'll display 'Last Elixir' (fixed in current
versions)!
Now make your way to the right of the screen to jump down to the giant cavern
below to out find that the icicles have created new paths for us! First head
to the left of the save point to find a chest containing a [SPEED SOURCE].
Then head out of the newly accessible exit to come to a chest in the snowy
paths area containing the [ENHANCE SWORD], then follow the path round to the
next area.
Once outside, you'll have to do the old climbing thing again. This time head
'up', then head 'up' again, and don't forget to keep your body temperature
up. You'll soon come to a save point and a spring in which you can restore
your HP/MP. I suggest doing so, as there is a boss battle ahead!
NOTE - These next two screens are the only two in which the Blue Dragons
can be fought, and they will drop a Dragon Armlet 100% of the time. I
suggest collecting a couple now as you won�t be able to obtain these
again until Disk 3 otherwise.
Some walkthroughs would advise getting them for the upcoming boss battle, I
reckon you don't need 'em. In fact, I think the following set-up is slightly
better (note the armour & accessories that I've chosen):
1) Cloud - Lv 45 (Front)
Organics - All=Restore, Comet, Enemy Skill, Sense, Steal
Aurora Armlet - Elemental=Earth, Magic Plus, HP Plus
Fire Ring
2) Cait Sith - Lv 39 (Front)
Red M-Phone - Added Effect=Time, Revive, Steal, Luck Plus, Speed Plus
Dragon Armlet - Added Cut=Deathblow, Enemy Skill, Manipulate, HP Plus,
Champion Belt MP Plus
3) Yuffie - Lv 40 (Back)
Hawk Eye - All=Barrier, All=Poison, Enemy Skill, Steal
Fire Armlet - Elemental=Titan, HP Plus, MP Plus
Ice Ring
Restore your HP/MP, save, then head to the next screen for the next boss!

Once you've defeated the twin headed-serpent, head back to the spring to
change your party. In the next section along Tifa will force herself into
your party, so you might aswell have her set up now! This was my set-up,
again I'm equipping a lot of Materia here just for the sake of gaining AP:
1) Cloud - Lv 46 (Front)
Organics - All=Restore, Comet, Enemy Skill, Sense, Steal
Wizard Bracelet - All=Heal, All=Gravity, Manipulate, Magic Plus, HP Plus,
Ribbon MP Plus
2) Tifa - Lv 41 (Front)
Speed Plus
Dragon Claw - Added Effect=Time, Revive, Enemy Skill, Luck Plus,
Dragon Armlet - Added Cut=Deathblow, Elemental=Fire, Morph, HP Plus
Champion Belt
3) Red XIII - Lv 40 (Front)
Seraph Comb - Enemy Skill, Steal, HP Plus, MP Plus
Dragon Armlet - All=Barrier, All=Poison, Elemental=Ifrit
Champion Belt
Once you've healed and saved head past the place where you fought Schizo to
come to the final climbing section, not before grabbing a Dragon Armlet from
the Blue Dragon as this will be your last chance to do so. There is no body
temp gauge here as we're virtually at the top. Once you're at the top you'll
view a cool bit of CGI.

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| There aren't many Elemental weaknesses to exploit here, so stick your |
| Elemental Materias in your armour paired with Fire and Ifrit. The Grenade, |
| like the Bomb in North Corel will explode after being hit twice for large |
| amounts of damage. You can try to morph a few Mind Sources from the Dragon |
| Riders and Killbins too, but definitely steal a few Gigas Armlets from the |
| Gigas. Whilst increasing your strength by +30 you'll also gain 0 AP for |
| Materia linked to that armour, so swings and roundabouts 'eh? Lastly, the |
| Wind Wing carries the enemy Skill White Wind, but the command isn't |
| available when manipulated for some reason. Oh, and protect yourselves |
| from Sleep, caffeine should do the trick. |
| |
| NOTE - This is the only place in the game to obtain the Earth Mallet; |
| dropped from the Gigas. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Neo Bahamut Materia, Hi-Potion, Ether, Kaiser Knuckles, MP Turbo
Materia, Poison Ring
--Boss - Jenova-Death Lv 55 (Reflect Ring)
Wow, surely this must be the Promised Land? As you descend the hill you'll
come across another black caped thing similar to the ones we saw earlier in
Nibelheim. The next screen along is where Tifa would've joined you had you
decided to not put her in your party earlier.
NOTE - If you're after a Gigas Armlet or two then you must fight the Gigas
in the first screen only. As the name suggests, they are huge!
In the next screen along, drop down and follow the path to GRAB THAT
MATERIA!, the [NEO BAHAMUT MATERIA]. Now jump over to the save point, as you
make your way to the next screen you'll see a little scene involving one of
Cloud's adversaries.
In the next screen you'll have to time your runs. When the wind dies down,
you'll be able to dash through, it may seem easy now but it'll get slightly
more tricky soon. Talk to the hooded creature on the right for a [HI-POTION]
and the one on the left for an [ETHER].
I can't imagine you messing it up, but if you did somehow manage to run into
the wind (probably because you're so not used to pre-rendered graphics
anymore), then you would be forced to fight the Wind Wing. Once you're in the
next screen you'll see a load more caped men, follow the winding path round
to a chest containing the [KAISER KNUCKLE].
In the next screen along you'll come to another wind barrier, this one
slightly more difficult than the last. Once you're through, you're going to
want to prepare for a boss battle. Make sure to have some sort of Fire
defence on each character, aswell as Silence defence. Try equipping your new
Summon Neo Bahamut aswell. You'll have some fairly strange dialogue, then
you'll be up against:

NOTE - the music here I find to be incredible. I had the notion years ago to
make a song based on the Jenova Theme. Unfortunately, I didn't follow
it up, and a dubstep producer named Datsik beat me to it, although his
tune was, well there's only one word to describe 'Jenova Project'.
Aggy. The lesson is, if you have a creative itch, scratch it, it's
why you're reading this walkthrough right now.
Once Jenova is defeated, Cloud will realise that the real Sephiroth is
further within the whirlwind maze. You'll then be given the choice of who you
wish to give the Black Materia to. Try as you might to give it away, only Red
XIII or Barret will up to the task. Once you've made your choice, talk to
Tifa in order to proceed.
GRAB THAT MATERIA! Pick up the yellow [MP TURBO MATERIA] that you see on the
floor (even though MP Turbo is a support 'blue' Materia), then head up to the
save point to save.
Open the chest to the left for a [POISON RING], then head into the next
screen for one more wind barrier. Before progressing, remove Cloud's armour
and accessory, and also everyone's Materia. Using the 'Exchange' tab, equip
Barret and/or Cait Sith with a few basic bits of Materia.
When you progress to the next screen you will engage in a series of events
that will massively shape your knowledge of the story as a whole, so pay
close attention. You won�t need to pick up this walkthrough again until you
have gained control of Tifa in the next section of the game.
NOTE - Sometimes, sometimes Sephiroth is telling the truth and sometimes
Sephiroth is lying. And sometime when Sephiroth is lying he is doing
so because he believes it to be the truth, and other times he is
lying because he likes to confuse Cloud. In other words, don't take
all of what Sephiroth says as gospel, but also at the same time
listen to every single god-dam word that he is saying!

--D2.04 A - WEAPON (�People are ignorant. They'll feel better as long as
someone is punished.�)
Before we continue, there's a few things I would first like to mention
about the storyline thus far. Make sure not to read the following section
until you have gained control of Tifa in Junon�s prison cells. Also, a lot
more of the story is yet to be revealed as you play on, so I'll be wary to
not to go into too much depth here.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - STORYLINE CLARIFICATION [
] [
] Some incredibly shocking revelations have just taken place, and the whole [
] story has just twisted and flipped upside down. Please understand that [
] there's a lot that you are supposed to know at this stage, that you may [
] not have fully realised due to misleading context: [
] [
] Sephiroth - When Sephiroth fell into the Lifestream 5 years ago, he never [
] emerged from it. When we were in the Temple of The Ancients [
] Seph', stated the he had become a traveller of Lifestream, [
] absorbing the wisdom of the Ancients, which he did. He'd spent [
] 5 years recovering whilst encapsulated deep within the [
] North Crater until his will was strong enough. Then he was [
] able to make copies of himself out of the caped figures we've [
] been seeing, he was even strong enough to make a copy of [
] himself from Jenova. In fact, when we saw Sephiroth on the [
] Cargo Ship for the first time (and there was no name above the [
] text dialogue), this was actually Jenova in the form of [
] Sephiroth, being controlled by Sephiroth (crazy, 'eh?). Jenova [
] herself even spoke to Cloud at the end of Disk 1 - �Because, [
] Cloud. You are... a puppet.� [
] [
] Tifa - Throughout the course of the game Tifa has been harbouring some [
] very deep and personal feelings for Cloud, which has been very [
] cleverly masked as a love angle. The very first flashback of the [
] game at the well, the date, all of the obscure times that Tifa has [
] started to say something but then hesitated, all was because she [
] knew that something was seriously wrong with Cloud (�All the things [
] you didn't know that you should, and other things you shouldn't [
] know that you did.�). She desperately wanted to address these [
] issues but was worried that something terrible would happen if she [
] did. Tifa thinks that it's been 7 years that her and Cloud have [
] been apart as opposed to 5 years because she doesn't remember Cloud [
] ever coming to Nibelheim 5 years ago... More on that later on. [
] [
] Reunion - When Jenova has finished sucking the Lifestream from a planet, [
] she will beckon for all beings that contain her DNA (remember [
] what you learnt in Professor Gast's Lab in the Icicle Inn) to [
] return to her, she will then move onto another planet. This is [
] called 'reunion'. Seeing as Professor Gast mistook the [
] lobotomised Jenova for an Ancient, he began experimenting on [
] infusing Jenova's DNA with condensed Mako energy, then spraying [
] a small amount of that onto a human being. The result was [
] SOLDIER. Believing he was creating synthesised Cetra (my [
] terminology), Gast was actually creating Jenova clones, and [
] seeing as Sephiroth is a perfect clone of Jenova, Seph' was able [
] to summon every being on the planet that contained Jenova's DNA [
] to return to him, with the Black Materia. And of course, Cloud [
] is just another Sephiroth/Jenova Clone. [
] [
] WEAPON - As you've been able to tell by now, the Planet (Gaia) is no [
] ordinary planet. In fact, two thousand years ago, she created a [
] defence mechanism dubbed 'WEAPON'. These were intended to defeat [
] Jenova, however the Cetra were able to finish the job and WEAPON [
] was not needed, so the beasts of ultimate destruction lay dormant [
] for 2 millennia. Sensing impending danger as Sephiroth summons [
] Meteor, Gaia reawakened its defence mechanism and the 5 WEAPONs [
] were called upon once more to protect the planet. (There are [
] actually more than five if you look into the FF VII universe, [
] however in this game you'll only encounter 5.) After watching [
] probably one of the coolest bits of CGI in the game, you'll have [
] seen Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, Sapphire and Ultimate WEAPON fly off [
] in various directions. [
] [
] Cloud - There is still more to learn about Cloud. Just know for now that [
] Cloud was being beckoned to Sephiroth right from the word go. [
] Aside from testing Cloud's memory, the sole purpose of Tifa asking [
] Cloud to recall his promise to her at the well was to persuade [
] Cloud to stay with them. There is a very strong chance that if [
] Tifa had been unsuccessful in her persuasions, and Cloud had left [
] Avalanche, he would have headed north. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
O.K., now that you're (almost) fully aware of what's going on, you should now
be at a stage in the game where you are playing as Tifa and you're held
captive by the Shinra. Cloud is nowhere to be found, and there is a huge ball
of doom lingering in the sky. Things really are starting to look bleak.
You'll eventually take control of Barret. Follow Tifa and the Shinra guard,
saving along the way until you come to a press room. After an amount of
dialogue, you'll have to fight a couple of Attack Squads using Barret and
Cait Sith.
Once they're defeated, inspect the gas chamber door to try to make it budge.
It won�t. You'll then have some more super cool CGI to sit through. For a
game that's approaching 2 decades old, you really can't help but appreciate
how aesthetically pleasing the cut-scenes are. I suppose you have to pretend
that it's 1997 again.

Once you have control of Barret, set himself and Cait Sith up accordingly.
When you make your way out of the press room, Scarlett will lock the door
from the inside. Make your way to the right and outside to bump into a
reporter that you happen to know, then watch some more CGI.
Make your way to the next screen which happens to be the airport. Make your
way up the service lift to come to a dead-end. The POV will switch back to
Tifa now. Note that you could return to this airport landing later on in the
game, and while the enemies won�t have changed, their formations will have,
granting you much more EXP than is currently on offer.
Whilst controlling Tifa, you will have to try to pick the key up and then
free yourself. It should be pretty easy to work out, plus you're not on a
timer or anything. I don't know what type of gas Scarlett is using but it
sure isn't lethal.. Once you're free , inspect the orange light to the left,
and then check the door. You'll then watch even more CGI!
In case you can't work out how to free yourself, the sequence is X, X, Tr, X
+ Tr, Sq + Tr, Sq. Descend down the outside of Junon until you arrive at the
Sister Ray (or Mako Cannon).
Keep following the cannon to the end to end up in a turn based slap fight
with Scarlett, and after a few nail biting scenes you'll eventually be on-
board the Highwind!
Make your way to the cockpit to talk to Cid. Once he's finished, talk to Red
XIII, and then to Cid again. Now talk to the pilot next to Cid, then head out
of the cockpit and into the room marked up 'operations'.
Here you can form a party, save and restore your HP/MP. Make sure to remove
everybody's amour and accessory that you've been using, and then form a party
to continue. If you haven't defeated Godo in Wutai yet then be sure to bring
Yuffie along, as we're about to obtain the fourth and final Enemy Skill
Materia!
As you can imagine, there are a number of optional thing for us to do now,
but we won�t be able to do everything until we've obtained Cloud back in our
party. For now, this would be a perfect time to let the rest of your team
catch up with Cloud (in terms of Lv)! Don't forget also, that when navigating
in the Highwind, you can hold down square to side strafe left, right and even
reverse.
NOTES - Now that some major changes have happened in the game, you will find
that people's disposition towards you will have changed. Everyone
that you speak to will now be worried and perturbed by the impending
extinction level event hanging above their heads. The Gold Saucer is
also closed off at this point too btw.
- Although most of the following sidequests are optional, you are going
to have to do some of them in order to complete your Materia
collection. I will be giving you a full re-cap on Disk 3 of
everything there is to do, so don't feel as though you have to do
everything now.
- I suggest equipping a double growth weapon or armour, and whacking
an All Materia on it now; the sooner you master one the better!

--D2.05 A - Visiting The Chocobo Sage
--Items - Enemy Skill Materia
In your newly acquired mode of transport, head to the Northern Continent.
Just north west of Bone Village you should find a lone house with a patch of
green grass that you can land on. This is the Chocobo Sage's house.
Inside you will find a green Chocobo. Interact with it to receive the [ENEMY
SKILL MATERIA]. You can now talk to the Sage if you like, enquire about the
Chocobo and he will tell you that he doesn't remember anything.
What happens now, is every 5 or so battles his memory will refresh and he'll
give you a new piece of information on breeding Chocobos. Obviously you don't
need to do any of that seeing as you have this guide, but that's how you
would've figured out how to breed Chocobos otherwise. You can also buy some
expensive Greens from him, but again we won't need to do that until the time
comes for us to Chocobo breed.
To see all of the Chocobo Sage's quotes, use QSI link [Chocobo Sage]
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.05 B - Obtaining the Enemy Skill Trine
--Items - Leviathan Materia
--Boss - Godo Lv 41 (All Creation)
Assuming you've been following my guide, you will still have Godo left to
defeat. Whack Yuffie in your party (if she isn't already) and make your way
over to Wutai. At your current level you shouldn't struggle with him now,
just make sure to equip a Ribbon.
If 2 of your Enemy Skills had Trine and 2 didn't, if say you were to equip
all four of them on to character then none of the E-Skills would learn Trine.
If you're going to equip more than one E-Skill on a person then make sure
that the Materia is identical, or that the E-Skill you're trying to learn
hasn't already been learnt on one of them.
You shouldn't need to spend ages setting yourselves up, just remember that
Demi2 or Laser will weaken him tremendously, then a bit of Added
Cut=Deathblow should finish him off. See section D1.18 C for a full boss
breakdown.
He has 10,000 HP and will drop a massive 40,000 gil once he's been defeated,
you'll also receive Yuffie's Lv 4 Limit Break [ALL CREATION], as well as the
only Water based Materia in the game, the [LEVIATHAN MATERIA].
Now make your way over to Rocket Town.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.05 C - Rocket Town
--Items - Fourth Bracelet, Guard Source
Head into the Weapon Shop which is the first house on your left as you
enter, then head into the room on the left to open a chest containing the
[FOURTH BRACELET], a piece of armour that has very high Def.
Now run into the Item Shop (the one with the old man standing outside) and
run into the room on the right. Open the chest here for a [GUARD SOURCE]. The
item shop owner now sells a few pieces of Materia that he didn't sell before,
such as Deathblow and Manipulate, I've bought an extra Deathblow. I plan to
buy a few more later on aswell.
If you were thinking of working on Leveling your Limit Breaks up, then now
would be the perfect time. Head over to the forest area near Mt. Nibel and
make sure to equip Manipulate and to also give Hypers to those that need
them. Don't forget to equip your Alls on double growth weapons.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.05 D - Playing Tifa's Piano in Nibelheim
--Items - Elemental Materia
Make the short flight over to Nibelheim, then head into Tifa's house. It
seems as though all of the caped figures (or Sephiroth clones) have made it
to the reunion at the Northern Crater, seeing as there's none left here. Head
into her bedroom and inspect the piano. As long as you 'jammed on the piano'
during the flashback at Kalm earlier, you'll now complete your set of
[ELEMENTAL MATERIA]s. Note that this can only be obtained whilst playing as
Tifa; if you miss it now then you won't be able to grab it later on!
So it seems that just by playing music you can pass on the 'knowledge of the
Ancients' into the instrument you are playing, and that knowledge will then
Materialise into Materia over the course of 5 years. And there was me
thinking that Materia had to be formed by a Lifestream fountain, or Mako
energy. I've always known that music is powerful, but I had no idea it was
that powerful!
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.05 E - New Weapons in Costa Del Sol
--Required gil - 72,000
Head into the bar and talk to the guy on the left to purchase the next set
of weapons, 8 slotted with medium attack power:
1 x Solid Bazooka O=O O=O O=O O=O - Barret - 16,000 gil
1 x Centclip O O O O O O O O - Red XIII - 14,000 gil
1 x Spiral Shuriken O=O O O O O O O - Yuffie - 14,000 gil
1 x Long Barrel R O=O O=O O=O O=O - Vincent - 13,000 gil
1 x Gold M-Phone O=O O=O O=O O=O - Cait Sith - 15,000 gil
Total - 72,000 gil
NOTES - After this set of weapons there will only be one more set to buy
which will have stronger attack power but fewer Materia slots. This
final hoard will set us back a staggering 190,400 gil, so be prepared
to sell one of your mastered Alls if you have one. Speaking of which,
don't forget to buy the Shinra Villa in Costa Del Sol for 300,000
gil when you do sell an All for 1.4 Mil gil. Although completely
pointless and trivial, it is something to spend your dosh on.
- The Long Barrel R is the 2nd weapon in the game that has 255 Attack%.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.05 F - Entering The Back of The Item Shop in Cosmo Canyon
--Item - Elixir, Magic Source, Full Cure Materia
Now head over to Cosmo Canyon. In case you hadn't noticed, the Highwind can
only land in grassy areas, so you'll need to run a short distance. Once at
Cosmo Canyon, head up to the far right ladder and into the Item Shop. You'll
notice that the red barrier that previously blocked our path has now been
removed.
Head through the door indicated with a green arrow to emerge in a room
containing an [ELIXIR], a [MAGIC SOURCE] and the [FULL CURE MATERIA]. GRAB
THAT MATERIA! I would advise against equipping it as it's extremely
detrimental to on one's strength and HP, unless of course you have a
dedicated magic caster and you don't mind the penalisation. Plus, you'll need
to level the Materia up before you can even use it, so I suggest saving it
for later on in the game.

| Woodlands area surrounding the Temple of The Ancients. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
From Cosmo Canyon, head directly south until you come to a small dirt
island with a patch of grass to land on. Make sure to have Morph equipped,
then go into battle with the Cactuer 3 times to Morph them into 3 Tetra
Elements (or just two - you'll obtain one right at the end of the game).
This is an accessory that will absorb Fire, Ice & Lightning based attacks, so
basically they're awesome! Also, the 1000 Needle attack is a great way of
getting your Limits up. Unfortunately, the Cactuer (unlike the Cactuar)
doesn't drop 10,000 gil, they only drop 1000.
NOTE - I tried equipping Vincent with the Long Barrel R, seeing as it is the
weapon with the highest Attack%. It seemed to make a bit of an
improvement on the hit ratio , but I'm not entirely sure. Also,
Manipulating the Cactuer drops its Def%.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.05 H - Fort Condor Battle No. 19
So this is the last optional Fort Condor Battle, the next one we do after
this will be mandatory and will also be the final one of the game. Your prize
this time will be 3 x Elixirs. This must be done before heading into Mideel.
When you arrive at the cabin the guy there will tell you that the Shinra have
attacked 5 times since you were last there. These attacks took place whilst
Tifa was unconscious for the last 7 days, and there's nothing you could've
done about it.
Fort Condor will also have updated its Materia shop, although none of the
pieces here will be new to us. On a side note, if you did fancy doing some
experience farming, then the Heli-pad in Junon would be the best place to
visit, you'll receive shed loads of EXP. Junon will also have updated all of
its weapons and armour shops, although none of the weapons you see will be
new.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.05 I - Chocobo Breeding Step 1
--Items - Chocobo Lure Materia
--Required gil - 60,000
Make your way to the Chocobo Ranch and as you enter look to the right for
the [CHOCOBO LURE MATERIA]. Now, there are a few things I'd like to point out
before we start the Chocobo Breeding process.
NOTE - To the veteran players out there, it's worth pointing out at this
stage that it is possible to breed a Gold Chocobo *WITHOUT HAVING TO COMPLETE
A SINGLE CHOCOBO RACE*. Use QSI link [RNG] for more info.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - CHOCOBO BREEDING [
] [
] 1) Chocobo breeding is said to be one of the more tedious mini-games, [
] which is why it's much more preferable to complete it in sections as [
] opposed to doing it all in one sitting. We are currently very limited [
] in how far we can progress anyway due to the fact that the Gold Saucer [
] is currently closed. [
] [
] 2) You're going to need to spend somewhere in the region of 500,000 gil+ [
] to obtain a Gold Chocobo. You are required to increase your Chocobos [
] stats before breeding them, and the only way to do that is to feed them [
] Greens. The Sylkis Greens that are available from the Chocobo Sage are [
] the best ones to buy, costing 5000 gil each! [
] [
] 3) Chocobo racing is a triple-edged sword. In order to condition our wild [
] Chocobos to breed, we must first race them in the Chocobo races at the [
] Gold Saucer. In doing so we will upgrade their class, once they're at [
] class A they are ready to breed. Using Greens is mandatory prior to [
] racing your Chocobos as Greens will increase you Chocobos racing stats, [
] failure to do so will result in a lot of lost races! [
] [
] There are certain unique Materias that are only available within the [
] Chocobo Square. Whilst Leveling up your Chocobos, you're also going to [
] want to be completing you Materia collection, and it's the pieces here [
] that could end up driving you insane. You might get lucky and obtain [
] every piece that's available by the time you've finished breeding, but [
] then again you might not. [
] [
] Every time you win a Chocobo race you will be given the choice of [
] exchanging your winnings for an item or GP. Obviously if a rare item [
] pops up then you're going to want to consider choosing that, but most [
] of the time you're going to want to pick the GP option. So, whilst [
] Leveling up Chocobos and obtaining rare Materias, we're also [
] stockpiling a load of GP for the Battle Square. When you think about [
] it, Chocobo breeding is quite a well-structured, balanced system with a [
] lot of incentive to want to partake in it. [
] [
] 4) There are 4 Materia Caves scattered about the map, and certain ones can [
] only be accessed by certain Chocobos. A green Chocobo can cross [
] mountains and is used to access the Materia cave near Wutai. A blue [
] Chocobo can cross shallow water and is used to access the Materia cave [
] near Mideel, a black Chocobo can cross both mountains and shallow water [
] and can access the cave near North Corel, and lastly a gold Chocobo can [
] go absolutely anywhere and is used to access the Round Island in the [
] far north east corner of the map. [
] [
] 5) You can actually acquire a gold Chocobo for free by defeating one of [
] the hardest bosses in the game, Ruby WEAPON. The boss is completely [
] optional, and is not required to complete the game, although you are [
] required to beat it for the Ruby Render Trophy. Although you could skip [
] out the whole Chocobo breeding process altogether this way, you would [
] still need to race at the Chocobo Square in order to obtain every piece [
] of Materia, and the gold Chocobo that you receive from defeating Ruby [
] is an absolutely terrible racing Chocobo. I suggest just obtaining a [
] gold Chocobo the old fashioned way, by breeding. [
] [
] For a full rundown on how to Chocobo breed, see section E.14. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| During this walkthrough, I will explain how to breed a Gold Chocobo, step- |
| by-step. If you're familiar with the Chocobo breeding process, and you |
| wish to learn how to breed the 'Ultimate' racing Chocobo, then follow QSI |
| Link [Ultimate Racing Chocobo]. As a reminder, you use a QSI link by |
| replacing the [] with {} in the search bar (CNTRL +F). |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
So, the first thing that we are required to do is to buy some stables. First
head into the house on the left to talk to Chocobo Bill. Select option 1 to
rent a stable for 10,000 gil. Repeat this process 6 times if you can afford
to, otherwise just buy two seeing as two is all we'll need for now. You will
probably want to buy all 6 at some point.
NOTE - If you were to head into the stables and talk to the girl at the back
(Chloe) then she would tell you that the white Chocobo likes to be
scratched behind its ears, anywhere else and it'll get mad. Remember
this for later on. Also, any information that you've learned from the
Chocobo Sage will be relayed back to you by Chloe. Oh, and don't
forget to stock up on Gysahl Greens, and also buy around 3 Mimett
Greens.
Now we need to go and catch a few Chocobos. Every Chocobo we catch will be
rated from Weak - Wonderful. Right now we are after two Great Chocobos.
NOTES - equipping both Chocobo Lure Materias here is advised as the effects
will stack against each other, as with the Enemy Lure Materias.
Also, you shouldn't need to feed the Chocobos Greens here seeing as
you should be strong enough to just wipe out the opposition before
the Chocobo flees.
- Save yourself the hassle for later on, make sure to have all Enemy
Skills equipped to one character (presuming that none of them have
already learned Chocobuckle). When you encounter a Chocobo alongside
1 or 2 Spirals (which will be Lv 36), first throw a Mimett Green at
it, then have the Enemy Skill bearer cast L4 suicide. The Chocobo
will retaliate with Chocobuckle.
Great Chocobos can be found near Rocket Town alongside 2 x Valrons or 2 x
Kyuvilduns. You can also encounter Great Chocobos near Mideel which is the on
the south-eastern most continent alongside 1 or 2 x Spirals. You will earn
more EXP and AP here, just don't visit the actual town of Mideel yet as you
will progress with the story that way (it's our next stop). The sooner you
master an All the better, so I'd suggest goto the Mideel Area, but it's up to
you, just bear in mind that you'll probably need to start using Greens again
here seeing as the Spirals can be quite tough to beat.
When you disembark from a Chocobo, you will now have the option to send it
back to the Ranch or let it go.
Back at the ranch, SAVE YOUR GAME!!! When you talk to Chocobo Billy select
option 3 to move a Chocobo into the stables. A gender will then be chosen at
random, if the wrong genders are chosen then just reset your game and re-
enter the Chocobo Ranch, no need to catch them again. You can also name your
Chocobos whatever you want, I named mine GreatM and GreatF just to make
things easier.
NOTES - Sometimes the 'RNG' (Random Number Generator) can get stuck,
resulting in the same sex of Chocobo being chosen every time you
move them. If this happens then try performing a 'soft reset'
(L1+R1+L2+R2+Start+Select, or 'Quit Game' for Steam/PS4 users).
If this fails then try a hard reset (resetting the PS1, or for
PC/PS4 users you must close the application then reboot it).
- If you missed the Choco/Mog Materia the first time round then you
could grab it now by talking to a Chocobo in your pen.
The last thing to do at this stage is to acquire some nuts. These are
required for breeding, and in total we need 3 x Carob Nuts and 1 x Zeio Nut.
You can buy the Carob Nuts from the Gold Saucer for 300GP, or, you could just
steal them from the Vlakorados in the grassy area near Bone Village.
NOTES - Comet2, Magic Breath, Laser/Gravity and other powerful moves are the
quickest way to defeat the Vlakorados, seeing as they have 33,333
HP. Don't hold back, if you run out of MP just use a Tent or run
into Bone Village and play the excavation game to sleep for free!
Also, here is where I mastered my first All, I flew straight over to
the Chocobo sage to buy 99 x Sylkis Greens for 495,000, then I went
and bought the 'Villa Cloud' in Costa Del Sol for 300,000! Then I
went and bought some Tents... some Hypers... some Fire Veils.....
Yeeeah baby! Livin' the dream!
- PS4 players - don't forget you can earn gil whilst being away from
the controller! When you encounter 2x Trickplay, cast Haste on them,
active '3x speed' (L3) and 'battle boosters' (R3), and every time
the Trickplay cast Gold Mountain their value increases by 800.
Finally, let's go and obtain a Zeio Nut. To do that we must visit Goblin
Island!

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
From the Chocobo Ranch, head north to come to a few islands, one of which
has a forest in the middle of it. Land on that island, then battle around in
the forests to encounter the Goblin. You only need one Zeio Nut, so you
should only need to battle here once.
The Enemy Skill Goblin Punch will cost 0 MP, and will do a large amount of
damage if your Lv is the same as the enemy's Lv. Make sure to have all 4
Enemy Skills equipped, and also to have Manipulate. You could now head over
to Mideel to crack on with the game if you wished, but I like to do one last
thing before moving on:-
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.05 K - Obtaining Every Enemy Skill Available
Here is a list of every Enemy Skill that is currently available to get, in
order that you can get them starting off from Midgar. Remember to have all 4
Enemy Skill Materias equipped, but also remember that if one person has two
Enemy Skills equipped, then an Enemy Skill won't be learnt if one of the
Materias has already learnt it. Also, you won�t be able to re-acquire Laser,
Bad Breath nor Magic Breath until Disk 3.
NOTE - You'll earn quite a bit of AP during the following battles, I suggest
equipping things like Fire, Ice, Lightning, Quake, Demi, Enemy Lure,
(All!!) and any other Materias that are currently falling behind as
you are going to want to get these to Lv 3 at some point.

on the person who cast L4 Suicide only.
4 - Beta - Use Laser or Demi2 four times to trigger a casting of Beta.
6 - White Wind - Must be Manipulated
7 - Big Guard - Must be Manipulated
8 - Aqualung - The Harpy will only be found on the Chocobo tracks alongside
a Chocobo.

Mansion. Be sure to be wearing Ribbons.
11 - Death Force - Must be Manipulated
12 - Magic Hammer - Must be Manipulated
And so concludes yet another side-quest section of this walkthrough. Onwards!

--Items - Contain Materia, Curse Ring, Elixir

--Extra - Beat-up Useless Old Key
Before entering into Mideel, first make sure that you have at least one
Mimett Green, and then make sure to strip Tifa of her accessory and armour
(and everything else) then step into the small resort of Mideel.
Head into the first shop you see, the Item Shop. If you've managed to sell
one of your Alls then I suggest stocking up on plenty of Ethers, Tents and
Remedys. In every shop you come to, *be sure* to talk to the frantic kid who
is flapping about like a headless Chocobo. This will help for later.
You should be able to see a small white Chocobo running around also. Interact
with it to feed it some a Mimett Green (even though it will display Samolen
Green, fixed in later versions), you'll then have the option to tickle the
Chocobo in a particular area. If you've been paying close attention then
you'll already know to tickle it behind it's ears. GRAB THAT MATERIA! Once
you've tickled it it'll give to you the [CONTAIN MATERIA].
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - CONTAIN MATERIA [
] [
] Whilst being highly detrimental to your physical stats, Contain is highly [
] recommended to start Leveling up asap as it is one of the few Materias in [
] the game that will hit with Wind damage. You *can't* pair it with [
] Elemental, but you *can* pair it with Added Effect to attack with/defend [
] against Confusion, Petrify and Stop. [
] [
] Lv 1 - Freeze. Strong Ice damage, can cause Stop [
] [
] Lv 2 - Break. Strong Earth damage, can cause Petrify. [
] [
] Lv 3 - Tornado. Strong Wind damage, can cause Confusion. [
] [
] Lv 4 - Flare. Strong Fire damage. [
] [
] The main downside to Contain is that it cannot be paired with All, so the [
] attacks will only ever hit one enemy. You could link it with MP Turbo to [
] make the attacks even stronger, but me personally I'd just keep it paired [
] with Added Effect. That is until I obtain Hades, of course. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Now head out of the Item shop and make your way over to the shop on the
right. This is the Materia Shop, and although there is nothing new here to
buy here, do make sure to talk to the frantic kid again.
Now head up the stairs and into the Weapon Shop. First, talk to the frantic
kid, then inspect the door at the back to discover that it is locked. Then
talk to Weapon Shop owner, but only if you have the required funds. As
mentioned, this'll be the last time we'll need to buy any weapons from a shop:
1 x Crystal Sword O=O O=O O=O - Cloud - 18,000 gil
1 x Crystal Glove O=O O=O O=O - Tifa - 16,000 gil
1 x AM Cannon O=O O=O O=O - Barret - 18,000 gil
1 x Crystal Comb O=O O=O O=O - Red XIII - 17,000 gil
1 x Crystal Cross O=O O=O O=O - Yuffie - 18,000 gil
1 x Crystal M-Phone O=O O=O O=O - Cait Sith - 18,000 gil
1 x Partisan O=O O=O O=O - Cid - 19,000 gil
1 x Winchester O=O O=O O=O - Vincent - 18,000 gil
3 x Crystal Bangle O=O O=O O=O - Armour - 4,800 gil Each
2 x Wizard Bracelet O=O O=O O=O O=O - Armour - 12,000 gil Each
Total - 180,400 gil
NOTE - It wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to buy 7 Wizard Bracelets
instead of just 2, as so that any player not in your team can be
wearing an 8 slotted piece of armour. This will help you to use the
'Exchange' tab more effectively. We will be able to steal a Wizard
Bracelet from a random encounter, not too far into the game.
Now head over the bridge. Just to the left of where the guy is standing you
should be able to hear a slight 'click' as you run over one of the wooden
boards. Examine it to find the 'Beat-up Useless Old Key'. Now head into the
house on the left.
Although this may look like an ordinary house, it's actually the Accessory
Shop. Speak to the girl at the stove to buy a new piece, the Amulet for
10,000 gil which will increase your luck by +10 (good for whomever has
Deathblow). You can also buy a Bolt Ring if here if you didn't manage to
obtain one from the sleeping man that gives you Mythril.
Now head back into the Weapon Shop. Try to use the beat up old key on the
door at the back to accidentally brake the key in the lock. Clumsy #!$#! When
the store keeper confronts you, be sure to come clean with him. He'll give
you the [CURSE RING] if you do, otherwise you'll get squat!
NOTES - The Curse Ring is better than the Champion Belt in terms of its
stats boost, however it will give you a 60 second Death Sentence
penalty each match. Which is an absolutely minor problem seeing as
the Enemy Skill Death Force will clear it, plus, how often does a
battle actually go on for more than a minute? The stat boost you
receive is +35 Strength, +15 Dexterity, +15 Vitality, +35 Magic, +15
Spirit and +15 Luck.
- If you equip Tifa with the Powersoul then the damage she will deal
will be doubled if her HP is critical, and quadrupled when she is
inflicted with the Status Death Sentence.... These will stack for a
total of 8x normal damage.
Now head over into the final house to automatically start petting a dog.
After an amount of dialogue you'll wind up back on the Highwind. Cait Sith
will inform you that Heidegger and Scarlett (Gya ha ha & Kya ha ha) are up to
something fishy. Eventually you'll have control of Cid as the party leader.
NOTE - It isn't made fairly obvious during the game, but the Turk that you
saw standing at the back was the same Turk that was against the
destruction of the Sector 7 support plate at the beginning of the
game. His name is Reeve, and he is the one who controls Cait Sith.
How? Nobody knows. Also, take note of Red XIII's comment, 'when small
Materia nears the larger Materia, something should happen.' Yes
indeed, something should happen. More on that later on (Now we know
what Scarlett and Tseng were looking for way back when we were in
Gongaga).
So, it appears that Cloud has suffered from Mako poisoning as a result of
being subjected high densities of Lifestream for a protracted period of time.
Bummer. The Huge Materia from Nibelheim has already been retrieved by the
ShinRa, so it looks like we're going to be heading to North Corel. Make your
way to operations to form a party, then head back into the cockpit to fly the
airship.
Before continuing, land the Highwind once more and run back into Mideel. Head
back over to the house that you were about to explore earlier on to find an
[ELIXIR] sitting on the bed. When you leave you'll be accused by the old man,
choose either option to continue, both are fairly comical.

--Items - Ultima Materia, Catastrophe
--Extra - Huge Materia
Make your way over to the Mt. Corel Reactor. I'd advise landing the
Highwind by North Corel as opposed to the Costa Del Sol side, then taking the
long route back to the reactor. Make sure to save beforehand, here was my set-
up going in:
1) Cid - Lv 45 (Back)
Partisan - All=Time, Enemy Skill, Morph, Sense, Steal
Wizard Bracelet - Elemental=Lightning, All=Earth, Long Range, Speed Plus,
Champion Belt HP Plus, MP Plus
2) Barret - Lv 43 (Back)
AM Cannon - Added Effect=Contain, Elemental=Leviathan, All=Gravity
Wizard Bracelet - Added Cut=Deathblow, Enemy Skill, Manipulate, Steal
Curse Ring Luck Plus, HP Plus, MP Plus
3) Yuffie - Lv 49 (Back)
HP Plus, MP Plus
Spiral Shuriken - All=Heal, Revive, Enemy Skill, Steal, Magic Plus,
Wizard Bracelet - Elemental=Ramuh, All=Restore, All=Lightning,
Circlet MP Turbo=Comet
NOTE - It is possible to fail this upcoming section. You *MUST* make it to
the second train cart (it would be almost impossible to fail this
unless you were trying to). For what it's worth, if you do mess the
whole thing up then I suggest just reloading your save and trying
again.
As you make your way into the reactor you'll be likely to encounter the
Bagnadrana, you can cast L4 Suicide on them then use Morph to gain yourselves
a few Guard Sources. As you approach the entrance to the reactor you'll have
to engage a couple of Attack Squads. These are the same ones the you've
fought many times before.
After the a battle has finished a train will depart the reactor moving very,
very slowly. Instead of jumping on it, Cid decides to hijack his own train
cart instead (if Cloud can jump onto a speeding train in Midgar then surely
Cid must be able to).
You are about to engage in a 10 minute race to catch up with the other train,
board it and then bring it to a halt before it demolishes North Corel. Again,
as long as you make it to cart 2 then it doesn't matter if you fail, but I'd
strongly advise against that.
1.) Alternate between pressing Up and Triangle at a steady pace to increase
the carts speed. Once you have gained enough momentum you will catch up
to the train carrying the Huge Materia.
2.) In the 1st cart you'll have to fight 1 x Gas Ducter. Just don't use Bio.
3.) You'll have to fight 2 x Gas Ducter in the 2nd cart. Don't mess about,
Magic Breath will work just fine here.
4.) In the 3rd cart you'll have a Wolfmeister to fight. You should've had
Water set up in your weapons, if not just use Aqualung.
5.) Make sure to steal a Warrior Bangle from the Eagle Gun in the 4th cart.
Don't use Water, do use Laser, Demi3, Trine and Bolt3.
6.) You will now have to fight one more Attack Squad.
7.) Lastly, when prompted press Up and Triangle simultaneously to speed up
the train, then Down and X to speed it up even more.
Once the action has finished, you'll receive the [ULTIMA MATERIA] as a
reward, as well as a free night's rest.
If you'd ran out of time, then you will have ruined a town that's already in
shambles and Barret will feel like killing himself, not to mention losing out
on the Huge Materia (seriously consider re-loading your save). Once you've
left the Inn, you can talk to the kid sitting in the train cart. Instead of
giving you the Ultima Materia he'll sell it to you for 50,000 gil (believe
me, it's worth it), unless of course you didn't even make it to the 2nd
train, in which case you will get NOTHING!
Either way, once you're ready to continue head into the house on the second
floor. Talk to the woman on the left and she'll give you Barret's Lv 4 Limit
Break, the [CATASTROPHE].
NOTE - If you miss one of the four Huge Materias then it will not affect
you trophy progress, however it will mean that you will have a much,
much harder time obtaining the Bahamut ZERO Materia, so I suggest
making sure that you obtain every one.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - ULTIMA MATERIA [
] [
] Probably one of the most powerful spells in the game, Ultima is well.... [
] Ultimate! Unfortunately, just like with Full Cure Materia Ultima needs to [
] be levelled up before it can be used, aswell as heavily penalising your [
] physical stats. It will boost your magical stats though. [
] [
] NOTE - If you plan to Source farm later on in the Sunken Gelnika then you [
] can boost your Magic stat quite high, in which case Ultima will [
] cease to be the strongest magic you own, and Comet2 will take its [
] place. [

--Items - Phoenix Materia (leave)
--Extra - Huge Materia
Once You're ready to leave you can head outside and jump into the
Highwind... if you'd taken my advice earlier on and parked up just outside
North Corel. If not then you'll have to trek back through Mt. Corel until you
reach your Highwind. Now head over to Fort Condor saving before you head in,
and also make sure to have plenty of gil. This will be the final Fort Condor
Battle.
NOTES - During the battle here, let the enemies over-run the shack so that
you can defeat the CMD. Grand Horn for the Imperial Guard. This is
probably the best piece of armour in the game, and it is possible to
obtain a set of three but you'll have to obtain one of them right
here and now! You'll still receive the Huge Materia this way.
- If you were to lose to the CMD. Grand Horn, then you would lose out
on the Huge Materia, and you would also be banned from ever re-
entering the Fort Condor.
If you're not bothered about the Imperial Guard, and you want to defeat the
Shinra normally then here's how:
If you've been taking part in all of the previous battles then you should
have the strategy down to a fine art. Seeing as this is the final battle and
all, expect a much tougher challenge. Try throwing in a few Fighters,
Tristoners and Fire Catapults to spice things up a bit.
If you're completely new to the battles, then the main thing that you need to
remember is that it is essentially a rock, paper, scissors type strategy:
Attacker - beats Beast - loses to Barbarian
Defender - beats Barbarian - loses to Wyvern
Shooter - beats Wyvern - loses to Beast
Start off by placing three Attackers across the field as far down as you
possibly can. Begin the battle by pressing X, then slow the battle speed down
by pressing L1. Command each attacker (by pointing and clicking) to march as
far down as they can go. Once each Attacker has received his instructions,
speed the game up all the way with R1.
When the enemies are about to collide, slow the game right down again and
create some new soldiers that are suited to the enemies in play. Just make
sure you have enough space to create new enemies and you should be fine. Just
stay on the offensive, keep your troops travelling south and keep ganging up
on the enemy, if you play it correctly then you'll have finished the battle
before the Boss even shows, if not then you'll have to surround him with
every troop you've got.
Once you have one the battle, either by taking out all of the Shinra's troops
or by defeating the CMD. Grand Horn, you will see some cool CGI of the Condor.
NOTE - If you don't mind making use of exploits, then refrain from grabbing
the Materia as instructed below; doing so will really help later on!
When you gave control of Cid again, head out through the door and up to the
top of the reactor to EAT THAT BIRD! I mean GRAB THAT MATERIA! the [PHOENIX
MATERIA] which will cause Fire damage to the enemy whilst reviving and fully
restoring all fallen teammates in the process...... Before grabbing it
however, you may wish to know:
NOTE - If you had missed out on the Phoenix Materia because you'd lost to
the CMD. Grand Horn, then you can re-obtain the Phoenix Materia later
on at Bone Village. You can also duplicate it by *not* picking it up
here now, wait until Disk 3 when you'll be able to dig up a copy from
Bone Village, then return to Fort Condor to obtain a second non-
mastered Phoenix. I Recommended this for beating Emerald WEAPON.
On your way out *Make Sure* to talk to the guy sitting at the table, he'll
hand over the Huge Materia as a way of saying thanks. Your team will hint
that the next place to go is the Underwater Reactor, but first it's time to
check up on Cloud and Tifa. Hop in the Highwind and head down south to Mideel
once more.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - OBSCURE ELEMENTS [
] [
] There are a number of Elemental properties that aren't listed in any part [
] of the game. These are speculated to have been left in the game either as [
] a mistake or as an unfinished project. Either way, it's interesting to [
] know that these Elements can still be implemented into your battle plan. [
] [
] On top of the main 9 Elements, you also have: [
] [
] Restorative: [
] If an enemy is weak against holy then it will take double the damage from [
] Holy based spells, the only one of which being Alexander. On top of that, [
] some will also absorb the 'Restorative' Element. This double positive [
] will act as a negative, meaning you can use items such as Phoenix Downs, [
] Elixirs etc. to damage your opponent. [
] [
] Cut/Hit/Punch/Shoot/Shout: [
] All of your characters will hit with at least one of the Elements above, [
] although various weapons will hit with different properties. Certain [
] enemies are weak vs Punch, this is suspected to be accidentally left in. [
] An incredibly large amount of enemy attacks will hit with one of the [
] above Elements, and the Ziedrich armour which we will obtain shortly will [
] halve all of the basic 9 Elements, as well as the 5 listed above. [
] [
] Hidden: [
] 'Hidden', or the '10th Element' is activated when you attach the [
] Elemental Materia to your armour paired with any Materia that doesn't [
] have an Elemental property, such as Contain, Luck Plus, anything you want [
] really. Basically anything other than another support Materia. There is [
] only one move that is really known about in the game that uses the hidden [
] Element, and that is Ultimate WEAPON's Ultima Beam. Seeing as we're about [
] to face Ultimate Weapon, try equipping Elemental=HP Plus in your armour [
] for all three characters. Equip Steal also. [

Before heading into Mideel make sure that everyone has Steal equipped, and
also make sure to have saved your game. Once inside head straight over to the
Doctor's to check up on Cloud. Talk to the nurse on the left to rest, then
talk to Tifa to continue.
Once you have regained control of Cid, run outside. Amongst all the
commotion, Ultimate WEAPON will decide to rear its ugly head.

After the fight the POV will change to Tifa (notice the Battle Square theme),
and after a few short animations you will find yourself, well, somewhere else.
What takes place now is the unveiling of the truth, so make sure to pay close
attention. I won�t be guiding you through this one because I don't want you
to be distracted by this guide, you can pick it up again when you are on-
board the Highwind.
When you try to leave operations, you'll have to form a party, then head over
to the cockpit to learn where the next Huge Materia is. You can head back
into Mideel before continuing if you like, you'll find it completely
destroyed. All of the shops now have a minimal stock, aside from the hyper
kid with the white Chocobo who'll stock every single item/weapon/Materia that
was previously available, provided that you'd spoken to him in each shop
previously. He can be found at the top of the hill on the far left, alongside
the doctor and the nurse, and if you were to talk to the nurse you would be
able to rest for free.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - STORYLINE CLARIFICATION [
] [
] If this is your first time playing the game then the events that have just [
] unfolded may leave you with some questions. I will try to clarify things [
] for you, just make sure to not start reading this until you are on-board [
] the Highwind. [
] [
] All throughout the game Tifa has desperately wanted to confront Cloud with [
] the truth that he never came to Nibelheim 5 years ago (or so she thought), [
] but was �afraid that if I told you.... something terrible would happen.� [
] This explains Tifa's dialogue during the dating sequence in the Gold [
] Saucer. If you had dated Aeris, then she (Aeris) would have told Cloud [
] that he reminds her of 'him', this is referring to her first boyfriend, [
] Zack (remember in Gongaga). Aeris also remarks that she is looking for the [
] 'real' Cloud. [
] [
] What isn't explained at all here is what took place after the Nibelheim [
] incident of 5 years ago. Barely alive, Cloud and Zack (Cloud must have [
] turned Super Saiyan or something to have done what he did to Sephiroth) [
] were taken by Hojo as his lab guinea pigs. Whilst Zack had already had his [
] body infused with Jenova cells and was able to resist Hojo's 'Sephiroth [
] Cloning' experiments, Cloud on the other hand had suffered serious side [
] effects, and as a result he completely lost his mind. He was only able to [
] stabilise his mentality by infusing the memories of Zack's as his own. So [
] when Sephiroth stated that Cloud had made up his memories by listening to [
] Tifa's stories, they were all LIES! There is still a little bit to [
] discover about these events later on in the game, so I'll stop explaining [
] this part of the story now. [
] [
] NOTE - Thanks to DoomSD for pointing this out - Do you recall the piece [
] of Materia that Cloud (Zack) had equipped on his Buster Sword [
] during the flashback (the one he was excited about using)? It was [
] the Pre-Emptive Materia! That's how he (Cloud) was able to sneak [
] up on Sephiroth the way he did!!! [
] [
] The mysterious voice that Cloud has been hearing is the 'real Cloud' [
] trying to get out. In fact, when Cloud was handing the Sephiroth clone the [
] Black Materia at the Temple of The Ancients, the child Cloud that you [
] momentarily had control of was the same Cloud during the Lifestream [
] events. Also, when you fell through the church roof at the beginning of [
] the game, this voice tells you that 'you could have gotten by with scraped [
] knees back then', which is a reference to the events where Cloud and Tifa [
] fell off the cliff-side. Also, I suspect that one of the three boys that [
] Tifa hung around with was Johnny, who we've met several times during the [
] beginning of the game. [
] [
] Lastly, it is speculated that the contraption that was in Sephiroth's hand [
] just before Cloud was able to toss him over the side of the reactor was [
] merely the device that the Cetra had used to lobotomise Jenova, and [
] Sephiroth had removed it in order to free her from her mental prison. [
] Others speculate that it was the head of Jenova itself, and due to [
] graphical limitations the Dev's weren't able to pixelate a decent enough [
] Jenova head, so they left it looking like the headpiece. This would [
] explain why Jenova is headless during your first visit to the Shinra HQ, [
] although the truth remains unclear to me. [

--D2.09 A - Chocobo Breeding Step 2
There are actually a number of sidequests available for us to do now that
we have Cloud back in our party, although I feel that it is best to do the
next part of the storyline first, seeing as even more optional sidequests
will then open themselves up to us, which we can blast in one hit. For now,
seeing as the Gold Saucer has re-opened we can take part in the next stage of
Chocobo breeding process!
I'm going to assume at this stage that you have mastered one of your Alls and
you have sold it for 1.4 Mil gil, and that you have also captured 2 Great
chocobos. If you haven't mastered an All yet then you are going to need
approximately 250,000 gil.
First head over to the Chocobo Sage's house to buy either 99 Sylkis Greens,
or a minimum of 16. Then head over to the Chocobo Ranch and buy either 99 or
30 Pahsana Greens, then buy 99 Curiel Greens. You are going to have to feed
your Chocobos somewhere in the region of:
8 x Sylkis Greens each to max out Speed
15 x Pahsana Greens each to raise Intelligence
60 x Curiel Greens each to raise Stamina
25 x Mimett Greens each to raise Acceleration
NOTES - The Mimett Greens have a 25% chance of increasing Acceleration by +1,
and a 75% chance that they'll do nothing. Also, the game won't
actually state that you have received a boost, so there is no way of
telling whether or not you have maxed it out!!!
It doesn't matter if you fully max out Intelligence, Stamina or
Acceleration at this stage, all that matters is that you max out
Speed. See section E.14 G for a full rundown on how each Green
modifies which stat.
Some of the names will vary when you go to feed them, for example Curiel
Greens will appear as Kurie Greens. Even though the Chocobos won't accept
anymore Curiel Greens to improve their Stamina once you've maxed it out,
feeding them Sylkis or Reagan Greens will keep boosting their Stamina
seemingly indefinitely. This won�t be necessary (just yet).
Now that you've raised/maxed out your Chocobos stats, it's time to race them
in the Chocobo Races. Also, due to the fact that you've obtained the
Highwind, there are a few new things to do in the Gold Saucer. I will cover
these during the upcoming sidequests section, for now just head straight for
the Chocobo Square, not forgetting to save beforehand. Note that the man who
will convert gil into GP will now sometimes appear standing behind the save
point in the Gold Saucer. He has a 1 in 8 chance of appearing and will
convert a maximum of 10,000 gil into 100 GP (Buy as much GP from him as often
as you can - there are some expensive prizes in the Wonder Square).
When you get to the Chocobo Square, talk to Ester who is standing by the
Jockey room. It is here where we can register our Chocobos for the races,
they'll start off as C class and go up a class every 3 wins that you get.
These don't have to be consecutive, and you don't have to get these Chocobos
higher than class B if you don't want to but I suggest getting them both to
class A for reasons:
1) The GP reward is greater in the higher classes, therefore better preparing
us for the Battle Square later on.
2) The Enemy Away Materia can only be obtained in the Chocobo Races, and is
only available as a prize from B class upwards. You are going to want to
get this out of the way sooner rather than later, again it's completely
pot luck! You may get 3 of these by the time you've finished breeding, you
may get none (and yes the effects do stack btw).
NOTE - If the combined wins for the Chocobos totals 4 or more, then you will
guarantee a 'special' Chocobo (Green/Blue only).
Whilst racing, you can get away with just keeping it set to Auto for C class,
but you are going to want to set it to manual for B and above. As long as
you've fed them the required Greens as above, you should be fine, just
remember to keep R1+R2 held down to keep replenishing your Stamina. Press
Square several times at the start of the race aswell to max out you running
speed, and watch out for the black Chocobo Teioh, as he can be a real pain at
times to beat (his stats are ALWAYS better than yours).
Once both your Chocobos are class A, you are ready to breed them! Head over
to the Chocobo Ranch and SAVE before entering. Talk to Billy to select Mating
Chocobos, then select GreatM and GreatF to breed. Finally, choose the Carob
Nut, and viola! And brand new (and rather large) baby Chocobo. The breed of
Chocobo will be chosen at random, you'll either get a green or blue Chocobo,
and we'll need to wait until the parents are ready to breed again before we
can obtain the chocobo of opposite gender (I got a male Green).
You could take your new Chocobo out for a spin, but I suggest just heading on
to the next section of the game for now, which is Junon.
NOTES - A Chocobo that has just mated will not be ready to mate again until
you have encountered (and won) between 3 to 10 battles. A baby
Chocobo will not be ready to mate until you have fought (and won)
between 3 to 19 battles.
- A newborns Acceleration, Stamina and Intelligence will always be the
average of its' parents, Cooperation will always be 0, and the 'cap'
of its Max Sprint speed and Max Running speed will vary depending on
the type of Nut you use. Refer to QSI Link [Nuts] for more info.
- If you talk to Chloe she will tell you which of your chocobos has
the best stats, but only if you've talked to the Chocobo Sage first.
When you breed you'll have approximately 20% chance of boosting
Sprint, and a 15% chance of boosting Run. You *don't* have to have
fed the newborn Greens beforehand, just talk to Chloe and she'll
tell you if the newborn is the fastest. If the newborn hasn't
received a boost, perform a soft-reset and try again.
- If you keep getting the same results, try running in and out the
barn once before breeding. The try twice, then try three times (to
keep the RNG advancing)

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| None of the enemies here pose a threat, but whack lightning in your |
| weapons anyway. You've fought the SOLDIER:2nd, Death Machine and Slalom |
| before. Make sure to have Ribbons equipped, and MAKE SURE to Morph the |
| Ghost Ship into a Guide Book, we will need this for later. Watch out, as |
| the Ghost Ship uses a move called Goannai, which will remove one player |
| from battle. |
| |
| The Guard System is much like the Warning Board from the Shinra HQ in the |
| sense that it can spawn in 2 enemies - Quick Machine Gun or the Rocket |
| Launcher which are both weak against lightning. Neither pose a threat, and |
| I didn't have room to fit them in but their details can be found in |
| section G.09. Saying that, the Rocket Launcher can inflict you with |
| Confusion. |
| |
| Lastly, the Corvette is weak against Confusion, which means equipping |
| Added Effect with Mystify will result in double damage! |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Here was my set-up going into Junon:
1) Cloud - Lv 48 (Front)
Crystal Sword - Elemental=Lightning, Enemy Skill, Morph, Sense Steal
Wizard Bracelet - All=Restore, MP Turbo=Comet, Ultima, Magic Plus,
Circlet HP Plus, MP Plus
2) Cait Sith - Lv 45 (Back)
HP Plus
Crystal M-Phone - Elemental=Alexander. Added Effect=Contain, Luck Plus,
Gigas Armlet - Added Cut=Deathblow, Enemy Skill, Manipulate, Steal,
Curse Ring Long Range
3) Red XIII - Lv 47 (Front)
Crystal Comb - Elemental=Ramuh, Revive, Enemy Skill, Steal, Speed Plus
Wizard Bracelet - All=Time, All=Heal, All=Gravity, HP Plus, MP Plus
Ribbon
Talk to the Shinra guard at the far end to ride the elevator to upper Junon.
As you make your way through you'll notice that something is missing. Head to
the T-shaped tunnel, as you make your way south you'll be encounter a fleet
of Shinra guards.
Although they might run in the opposite direction, the Slaloms won't. Be sure
to steal some Smoke Bombs from them for the Battle Square later on. When
you're ready head into the service lift at the far end to fight 2 x Submarine
Crew.
At the base of the lift you'll have to fight another 2 Submarine Crew. Once
they've been taken care of, follow the screens down until you reach a save
point (don't worry about the dog blocking the passageway). In the next screen
you'll be able to descend the cargo lift, then follow the path to reach an
underwater pipeline, follow this to reach the reactor.
NOTES - Before heading into the reactor, you are going to want to morph the
Ghost Ship into a Guide Book, and these two screens are the only two
that you'll be able to encounter it at. This area is re-visitable,
but it's a rather annoyingly long way to travel if you miss it now.
L4 Suicide will do the trick nicely.
- Although the underwater tunnel is re-visitable, the reactor itself
isn't so make sure to pick everything up along the way.

Once Inside the reactor push the purple switch on the far wall. Plunge even
further down to emerge on a catwalk. Follow it all the way to the west to
come to a save point. Make use of it.
Follow the path to the next screen which looks vaguely like the No 1 reactor
that we blew up in Midgar. Here you will have to fight two lots of Submarine
Crews and 1 lot of Underwater MPs. Make sure to steal a few Shinra Alphas
from them.
_
Once you�re at the _| shaped bridge you'll see the Huge Materia. You'd
better be prepared because there's a Boss up ahead. Following the bridge
you'll come to none other than Reno, and he'll have brought a playmate for us!

After the battle has ended you will realise that the Submarine with the Huge
Materia has departed. Head to the left first off to open the chest containing
the [BATTLE TRUMPET], a strong weapon for Cait Sith with 0 growth.
Then head through to the next screen to come to a chest containing Cid's
[SCIMITAR], which is our first Triple Growth weapon of the game! This will
REALLY help for later on, and as previously mentioned is the reason why Cid
will be in my final team.
Before heading into the Sub, BE SURE to grab the final chest on the left
which contains a Key Item, the [LEVIATHAN SCALES]. This is required to put
the flames out at the Da-chao cavern in Wutai.
Now head up the staircase to fight two more sets of Submarine Crew, you'll
then board the Sub. Inside you'll have another set of Submarine Crew to face,
then make use of the save point.
Head into the Operations room to engage in an optional battle with the troops
that you were entertaining Rufus with when you were sneaking onto the Cargo
Ship on Disk 1. I suggest sparing them, but it'll make no difference either
way, unless you wanted to steal another Shinra Alpha from the Captain (you'll
get another chance to steal one later on).
Head up to the control seat, after Cloud has a minor panic attack he'll then
be eager to control the Sub, so sit in the driver�s seat and enjoy another
mini-game!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - SUBMARINE MINI GAME [
] [
] This game is fairly straight forward, press triangle to speed up, X to [
] slow down and Square to fire a torpedo. Watch out for mines, pressing up [
] will make you descend and pressing down will make you ascend (the way it [
] should be). You can locate the Red sub using R1, when you see it simply [
] blast it to hell, you can ignore all of the other yellow submarines. If [
] you don't manage to destroy it within the 10 minute time limit then the [
] Huge Materia is lost forever and you should consider re-loading your save. [
] [
] NOTE - If you're not bothered about Huge Materia then it is worth [
] pointing out that if you fail this mission then you can return to [
] Junon's pathways leading up to the reactor to find that the path [
] that was previously blocked by the barking dog will now be [
] unblocked, and when you go through you can steal the Red [
] Submarine, although the Huge Materia will not be inside. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Once the Red Submarine has been destroyed Cloud will remark that we should
forget about the Huge Materia at the bottom of the sea for now. We'll come
back to grab it shortly. There is one last thing to do before finishing up
with this section, and that is to head into Junon and ride the cargo lift to
the top (note that this is optional btw).
Head outside to the airport to see a short sequence of one of Junon's
Gelnikas departing with the Huge Materia on board. Looks like it's headed
towards Rocket Town which is our next destination, but not before embarking
on a world of excitement first!
NOTE - As previously mentioned, If you don't do everything now then I'll
give you a full re-cap on Disk 3 of everything there is to get.

--D2.10 A - Chocobo Breeding Step 3
Head over to the Chocobo Ranch making sure to save before entering. Now you
should be able to mate the same two Chocobos that you did previously, again
using a Carob Nut. You must make sure to obtain a Chocobo that is of a
different breed and gender to its sibling. For example, earlier on I obtained
a green male, so this time they must produce a blue female (yes we are going
to mate brothers and sisters). This may take some time, so be patient.
NOTE - If you find that you keep producing the same sex and/or breed of
Chocobo, then remember that the RNG can get stuck. Talk to Chocobo
Billy and feed a random Green to a random Chocobo, then save your
game, then try a soft reset. This should fix the problem. If it
doesn't, try a hard reset, followed by running in and out of the pen
area a few times.
Now feed the Green + Blue Chocobos the following:
9 x Sylkis Greens to max out Speed + Intelligence
30 x Mimett Greens to max out Acceleration
50 x Curiel Greens to max out Stamina
NOTE - Remember, once you have maxed out both parents stats for Intelligence,
Acceleration, and Stamina, the new-born will also be born with those
stats maxed out.
Now make your way over to the Chocobo Square. Same drill here, race both of
your Chocobos until they are class A (they'll need 9 wins minimum between
them). Once you've done that you'll have quite a few battles to complete
before you can breed these new Chocobos, but there is one more thing you can
do for now:- head over to the small grassy area closest to the Icicle Inn.
You're going to want to try to capture a Wonderful Chocobo, so equip the
Chocobo Lure Materias and head towards the Icicle Inn. Before heading east,
you should see the tracks to your left, battle around until you encounter
either 1 or 2 Jumping alongside the Chocobo, then capture it for a Wonderful
Chocobo. Once you've caught one, don't move it from your pen into the stables
just yet, instead head over to Bone Village.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 B - Obtaining the Key to Sector 5
There is now a new item available to be dug up in the excavation site. Head
over to the foreman and ask him to search for normal treasure. There are
three places where the Key To Sector 5 can be dug up, the easiest of which is
just to the right of the entrance, above where the guy was digging (Spot 1).
Once you've dug up the key you can return to Midgar, yaaay!
NOTE - It's very note-worthy to point out that if you had missed out on the
Phoenix Materia earlier on because you'd lost to the CMD. Grand Horn
at Fort Condor, then you could dig it up at the excavation site when
you reach Disk 3. The same goes for two other pieces of Materia,
W-Item and Bahamut ZERO. I also heard somewhere that you can dig up
the Weapon and Armour that Aeris was wearing when you lost her, I
also heard that you could dig up a Steal Materia here. All lies
(confirmed).
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 C - Obtaining Tifa's Premium Heart
--Items - Premium Heart, Sneak Glove
--Required gil - 129,000
As you head into Midgar you will now be able to return through door '7' to
return to Sector 5. If you were to head into the church you would see a small
surprise, but it's just an illusion. Keep making your way through to the Wall
Market. Wow. How different does the game feel now compared to earlier when we
were first travelling around this part of Midgar?
NOTES - If you put Cid and Tifa in your party then you'll view an additional
comical scene.
- Remember to win as many battles as you can, as they will count
towards your Chocobos being ready to breed again.
If you wanted to, you could have a little look around Sector 5's Slums
although not much will have changed. Elmyra and Marlene are no-where to be
found, in fact the last thing I remember about them is that Cait Sith (aka
Reeve) had them held hostage somewhere, what ever happened to that anyway...
Once you're in the Wall Market head into the shop marked ITEM outside.
Interact with the terminal here to receive Tifa's Ultimate Weapon, the
[PREMIUM HEART]! This weapon will get stronger as Tifa's Limit gauge fills up.
Keep reading to learn exactly how the damage output is modified:

] indicated by the colour of the sword. Bright blue and white when [
] Cloud's HP is full, and dark blue and purple when his HP is critical. [
] [
] At full HP Cloud's damage will triple, at 2/3's HP his damage will [
] double, and 1/3 HP his attack power will be normal. Anything less than [
] 1/3 will result in lower than normal attack power. [
]----------------------------------------------------------------------------[
] Barret - Missing Score [
] The damage dealt is proportionate to the amount of AP equipped to [
] Barret's weapon, so equipping mastered Materia would be a good idea [
] seeing as this weapon has 0 growth. Master Magic/Command/Summon, [
] Underwater and Enemy Skill will not contribute to the attack bonus. [
] [
] With 640,000 AP Barret's attack damage will quadruple, with 320,000 AP [
] his damage will double and with 160,000 AP his attack power will be [
] normal. Anything less 160,000 AP will result in less than normal [
] attack power. [
] [
] Barret's Ultimate weapon is regarded as one of the strongest in the [
] game, and it is possible to cause damage overflow. You can kill [
] Emerald in one hit by equipping 5 mastered Knights of the Round [
] Materias and using 4 Hero Drinks (Strength must be 255). [
]----------------------------------------------------------------------------[
] Tifa - Premium Heart [
] The damage dealt is proportionate to Tifa's Limit gauge. [
] [
] With Limit Level 4 selected, Tifa's damage will quadruple if her gauge [
] is full, double if her gauge was at 1/2, and will be normal if her [
] gauge is at 1/4. Anything less than 1/4 will result in lower than [
] normal attack power. [
] [
] With Limit Level 3 selected, Tifa's damage will triple if her gauge is [
] full, double if her gauge was at 2/3's, and will be normal if her [
] gauge is at 1/3. Anything less than 1/3 will result in lower than [
] normal attack power. [
]----------------------------------------------------------------------------[
] Aeris - Princess Guard [
] The damage dealt is increased when one or two party members are KO'd. [
] [
] With two if Aeris's companions her attack power will triple, and with [
] one of Aeris's companions KO'd her attack power will double. [
]----------------------------------------------------------------------------[
] Red XIII - Limited Moon [
] The damage dealt is proportionate to Red XIII's current MP. [
] [
] At full MP Red XIII's damage will triple, at 2/3's MP his damage will [
] double, and 1/3 MP his attack power will be normal. Anything less than [
] 1/3 will result in lower than normal attack power. [
]----------------------------------------------------------------------------[
] Yuffie - Conformer [
] The damage dealt is proportionate to the targets average level. Also, [
] the command Morph will hit for the same amount of damage as a normal [
] attack would. [
] [
] Yuffie's attack power will quadruple with her targets level at 64, [
] double with her targets level at 32, and will be normal at level 16. [
] Anything less than Lv 16 will result in lower than normal attack [
] power. [
] [
] If Yuffie targets a single enemy, then only that enemies Lv is taken [
] into account. If she targets all enemies, then an average Lv is taken. [
]----------------------------------------------------------------------------[
] Cait Sith - HP Shout [
] The damage dealt is proportionate to Cait Sith's current HP. [
] [
] At full HP Cait Sith's damage will triple, at 2/3's HP his damage will [
] double, and 1/3 HP his attack power will be normal. Anything less than [
] 1/3 will result in lower than normal attack power. [
]----------------------------------------------------------------------------[
] Vincent - Death Penalty [
] The damage dealt is proportionate to the amount of kills Vincent has. [
] [
] With 6912 kills Vincent's attack power will quadruple, with 2816 kills [
] his attack power will double, and with 786 kills his attack power will [
] be normal. Anything less 786 kills will result in less than normal [
] attack power, with a minimum of 62.5% of normal damage output. [
] [
] Vincent's Death Penalty is the only weapon other than the Missing [
] Score that can cause damage overflow. By feeding him 4 Hero Drinks, he [
] would need to have 16,896 kills to one-hit kill Emerald, along with [
] 255 Strength, Berserk and land a critical hit (and have in the front [
] row, oddly enough). [
]----------------------------------------------------------------------------[
] Cid - Venus Gospel [
] The damage dealt is proportionate to Cid's current MP. [
] [
] At full MP Cid's damage will triple, at 2/3's MP his damage will [
] double, and 1/3 MP his attack power will be normal. Anything less than [
] 1/3 will result in lower than normal attack power. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
NOTE - Due to the Premium Heart's unusual damage modifier, a lot of people
veer away from the weapon. Just after Tifa has used her Limit Break,
she could be hitting for as low as 200HP. The thing is though, only
Barret, Vincent, Yuffie and Tifa can reach quadruple power, so the
best thing to do would be to equip Tifa with Added Cut and Deathblow,
then let her (Lv4) Limit bar fill up and don't use it.
The last thing to do in Midgar is to head into the Weapon Shop. Talk to the
guy on the left here (the same one who sold you the batteries earlier) and he
will offer you something for 129,000 gil! Buy it, it's the [SNEAK GLOVE], an
accessory which will greatly increase your chances of stealing. There is no
'Shiny Golden wire of hope' leading up to the Shinra HQ anymore, so we can do
nothing more in Midgar (for now). Make your way back to the World Map and
then over to Kalm.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 D - The Kalm Traveller
--Items - Underwater Materia
Head into the eastern-most house in Kalm and make your way to the top
floor. The man here remarks that he is looking for the Guidebook, the Desert
Rose the Earth Harp. You should have morphed a Ghost Ship by now, so talk to
him a second time and he'll trade you his [UNDERWATER MATERIA] for the
Guidebook.
If you hadn't morphed the Ghost Ship earlier on then you'll have to make your
way back down to the underwater reactor the long way, via Upper Junon. Or you
could just wait to face one at the Battle Square to morph it then. The
Underwater Materia will help us for one battle only, and doesn't require
mastering for the Materia Overlord Achievement.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 E - Obtaining Tifa's Final Heaven
--Items - Final Heaven
Now make your way over to Nibelheim. Make sure that Tifa is in your party
and head into Tifa's house to play on her piano once more. Do you remember
the notes from earlier? They are:
X, Sq, Tr, L1+Tr, L1+Sq, x, Sq, Tr, L1+X, O, X, Sq, X
After playing these notes press Start to finish, Tifa will then read an
important letter from her mentor, Zangan. She'll then receive her Lv 4 Limit
Break, [FINAL HEAVEN]! Go ahead and teach it to her if she is ready to learn
it (also obtaining the Packing A Punch Trophy).
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 F - Shinra Mansion Secrets
Make the short journey over to the Shinra Mansion and head into the
basement. As you make your way into Hojo's lab you'll have a very important
flashback to watch, perhaps even the final flashback of the game!
*Don't* continue reading until the flashback has finished.
Just so you are made aware, Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core for the PSP is
basically the events of 5 years ago leading up to the point you just saw
whilst playing as Zack. After Sephiroth had burned down Nibelheim, Zack and
Cloud were held in the test tubes for nearly 4 years!! They then spent
roughly 8 months travelling until they eventually reached Midgar, Cloud was
then able to re-stabilise his poisoned mind, after watching the traumatic
event of Zack's death, fusing the stories and plans that Zack had fed him as
his own. This took place probably roughly 4 weeks before the start of the
game!
I have never played/watched/read a story like FF VII, and even playing it now
after all these years I find myself revelling in how deep and well thought
out the plot is. And there's still more to go! For now, you can examine the
test tubes once more, Specimen B is 'codeC' (Cloud) and Specimen A is 'codeZ'
(Zack). You can then read the reports in the library at the back pertaining
to Zack's execution before moving on if you wish.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 G - Da-chao Fire Cavern
--Items - Oritsuru, Steal as Well Materia
Now that we have the Leviathan Scales we can now put out the flames in
Wutai's Fire Cavern (we will also be visiting the Materia Cave very shortly).
If for some bizarre reason you haven't done Yuffie's Sidequest, then now is
the time to do it (section D1.18), as it won't be available after you've re-
enter Midgar later on.
Heap up the Da-chao Statue and into the Fire Cavern once more. Run into the
roaring flame to make 'the scale of the sea God shine', then run into the
second flame to reveal a chest containing the [ORITSURU], Yuffie's strongest
weapon after her Ultimate Weapon, and also the strongest weapon in the game
to have both Normal Growth and 8 Materia slots (although only 4 are linked).
Now run round to put out the 3rd and final flame to GRAB THAT MATERIA! the
[STEAL AS WELL MATERIA]. You can pair this with steal if you wish to enable a
double steal attempt every time you steal! Just bear in mind that a second
steal animation will not take place, so even though it may look like just one
steal attempt you're actually attempting to steal twice. Also, thanks to
trueOgre_Killer for pointing out the fact that when you link Steal as Well
with Comet2, you get a steal attempt per Comet hit.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 H - Chocobo Breeding Step 4
You should now be ready to breed your Green and Blue Chocobos. Head over to
the Chocobo Ranch making sure to save before entering, then mate them using a
Carob Nut. This should produce a Black Chocobo which can cross mountains and
rivers! Your chances of breeding a Black Chocobo should be 100%, so if for
some reason you don't then you probably haven't won enough races (they'll
need to win a total of 9 between them).
NOTES - If your Chocobos aren't ready to be mated yet then head outside and
engage in four or five battles, or skip down to the Ancient Forest
section (D2.10 J).
- Remember, if you want a Chocobo that has better Top Sprint than its'
parents, then talk to Chloe. If she doesn't tell you that the
newborn is the fastest, soft-reset and try again, running in and out
of the stables more times than you did previously.
Once you have your Black Chocobo head outside and save. Now re-enter the
Ranch and move your Wonderful Chocobo into the stables, making sure that it
is the opposite sex to the Black Chocobo. You can also release your Good and
Great Chocobos back into the wild now.
The last step to obtain a Gold Chocobo is to breed your Black Chocobo with
your Wonderful Chocobo, but obviously you'll need to feed them Greens and
then race them at the races to class A first. Feed the Black Chocobo:
9 x Sylkis Greens to max out Speed
99 x Curiel Greens to max out Stamina (or Kurie Greens)
Feed the Wonderful Chocobo:
9 x Sylkis Greens to max out Speed
30 x Pahsana Greens to max out Intelligence
75 x Mimett Greens to max out Acceleration (it'll say 'no improvement')
99 x Curiel Greens to max out Stamina (or Kurie Greens)
Before leaving the Chocobo Ranch, speak to Billy and select 'Riding
Chocobos'. Now take your Black Chocobo out for a spin, you can ride it
straight onto the Highwind if you wish, when you disembark from the Highwind
you'll be riding your Chocobo. Pressing Triangle whilst on the Highwind will
bring you to the cockpit, you can then head to the right of Operations to pet
your Chocobo.
The last thing to do now is to race them both to class A. Your Black Chocobo
should be quick enough to hold its own in the class A races, so if you wanted
to you could race it to class S. So long as both Chocobos 'wins' total 12
then you will guarantee a Gold Chocobo when you breed them.
NOTES - The Sneak Attack Materia, along with the Enemy Away Materia, are only
available in the Chocobo Square. The Enemy Away is available from
class B upwards, but the Sneak Attack is only available from class A
upwards. Once you have obtained these two pieces, you won't need to
worry about grinding away at the Chocobo Races post-breeding,
although you will need a fair amount of GP (over 3000) to obtain
everything from the Wonder Square. Also, you can obtain Magic
Counter at the races which won't be obtainable until much later on
in the game, and also Counter Attack (which is spelt Counter). Grab
as many of these as you can. Sprint Shoes are also worth grabbing.
- If you have either Cid or Tifa in your party then they will
occasionally request to try their luck on the back of a Chocobo. If
you have both Cid and Tifa in then Tifa will always be the one to
ask.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 I - Lucrecia's Cave I
After finishing up at the Chocobo Races (I got lucky and walked away with
1 x Sneak Attack Materia and 1 x Sprint Shoes), head out of North Corel and
jump on your Black Chocobo. Now head south to come to a waterfall, jump off
your Chocobo and stick Vincent in your party.
NOTE - You could also have come to this waterfall in your submarine, but it
can be a little bit long-winded to get to.
Here you will learn a great deal about Vincent's past, and how he, like
Sephiroth came to be. We shall be returning to Lucrecia's Cave shortly...

--Items - Supershot ST, Spring Gun Clip, Slash-All Materia, Minerva Band,
Typoon Materia, Apocalypse, Elixir
You are going to want to come to this forest as early on in the game as
possible, namely for the Slash-All Materia, and the Apocalypse which is the
second and last Triple Growth weapon in the game (for Cloud). If you haven't
as of yet obtained a 'special' Chocobo, then bear in mind that you will be
able visit here without the need for one shortly on in the game.
If you have managed to breed a Green, Black or Gold Chocobo, then you can
climb the ridge just south of Cosmo Canyon to find the Ancient Forest. Here
you will have a series of puzzles which you must try to work out. If you mess
up then remember that you can reset the puzzle by pressing Square, this will
then take you back to the entrance.
SCREEN 1:
There are various life forms in the forest, I'll explain what each is for
along the way. First off, head over the bridge to come to a giant flytrap.
*Walk* into the flytrap whilst pressing confirm to pick up the [SUPERSHOT ST]
in the centre of it.
Giant Flytrap:
Running into a giant flytrap is a bad idea seeing as it will simply chew
off a large chunk of your HP and then spit you right back out again.
Now head back over the bridge collecting an insect along the way (ignoring
the frog), then head back round under the bridge.
Insect:
Insects are used for accessing new areas. If you've used all the insects
in an area the you'll need to press Square to reset the screen if you've
missed something.
Now run up the slight hill and place the insect *near* the hanging plant
using confirm, but not too close otherwise it'll get swallowed by the plant.
Hanging Plant:
Used as pathways to get to new areas. If an insect is placed in near one
then it'll get swallowed by the plant and its lid will close, which can
then be jumped on to reach a new area. After roughly 10 seconds, the
insect will get digested and the hanging plant will then open its lid
closing off the pathway.
Now run back and do the same thing for the remaining two insects. Without
hesitation, release the first insect into the first hanging plant, run back
to pick up the second insect for the second hanging plant, and then finally
the third insect will close the third plant to complete the bridge.
On the other side, head down to the spring plant (still ignoring the frogs)
to jump to the other side. Before heading through to the next screen be sure
to grab the [SPRING GUN CLIP] just north of the tree.
Spring Plant:
These can usually be used to access new nearby ledges but can even
sometimes be used to access new areas.
SCREEN 2:
Pick up the first insect you see, then use the spring plant to reach the
higher ledge. Then release the insect to be able to jump across the two
hanging plants past the giant flytrap (ignore the yellow orb for now). Then
pick up a frog.
Frog:
A frog, like an insect can be used to close the lids on hanging plants.
The only difference being, when lid opens if Cloud is standing on it then
he will get launched to new areas. Also, the frog will still be alive as
the hanging plants cannot swallow a frog.
Climb the small green ledge and place the frog in the left hanging plant
first. Jump on the plant, and when the frog is spat out Cloud will land on
the upper ledge containing the beehive. Pick it up then jump back down to the
ground.
Beehive:
Beehives are used to permanently close the giant flytraps.
Place the beehive near the flytrap to close it off, then you can GRAB THAT
MATERIA! the [SLASH-ALL MATERIA]. I suggest equipping it right away. Now pick
up the frog once more and use it on the right hanging plant to jump over the
flytrap. We'll return for the pouch a little later on.
SCREEN 3/TREETOPS:
As in the first screen, catch then release the insect near the hanging plant
without feeding to the plant, then head right for a second insect. Now
release both insects into each hanging plant to reach the spring plant.
In the treetops, head left then down to reach the previously unattainable
pouch that you saw, the [MINERVA BAND]. This piece of armour will nullify
Fire/Ice/Gravity/Holy and can only be worn by women.
Now make your way back to the third screen using the frog again, then use the
spring plant as you did before to head back up to the treetops.
This time head left, up, then right, ignoring the fork leading back down to
the third screen. Head right to jump over 3 spring plants, here you be able
to GRAB THAT MATERIA! the [TYPOON MATERIA] which is our second and last Wind
based Materia that can be paired with Elemental (Contain doesn't count).
NOTE - The Steam/PS4 release has had the spelling corrected for the name
'Typhon'.
Now head back over to the fork and head down to a new area in the third
screen. After descending the tight-rope, pick up the nearest insect and use
it to jump on the two hanging plants to the right (one of which is already
closed).
Grab the beehive at the top, then use it to close the giant flytrap to the
left. Now use the second insect to jump back to the first half of this area,
then run to the left and pick up the insect you see.
You can use the insect to lure the frog out of the hole in the tree. Now use
the frog to jump over to the right side again, then use the frog on the
furthest hanging plant on the right to projectile over to the next screen.
SCREEN 4:
It's safe to say that you don't need my help for this one. Simply open the
two chests that you see, one containing the [APOCALYPSE] which is Cloud's
Triple Growth weapon, and the other containing an [ELIXIR]. Now head through
the northern exit to return to the World Map.
NOTE - Although you can return here as many times as you wish, you shouldn't
have any need to unless you'd missed something.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 K - The Materia Caves
--Items - HP<->MP Materia, Mime Materia, Quadra Magic Materia
From the Ancient Forest, head north on your Black Chocobo to reach the
Materia Cave just north of North Corel. Here you will find the [HP<->MP
MATERIA]. This piece doesn't have many practicalities seeing as it will
simply switch your total HP with your total MP.
Now ride your Chocobo back to the Highwind and head for Wutai. Landing near
Wutai itself, head south and to the east you will see a huge peninsula, the
Materia Cave is at the end. Here you will find the [MIME MATERIA]. This is
probably the most practical piece to find from the Materia Caves, as it will
mimic the move made by the previous ally, so you can Morph, Steal etc. You
ARE going to want to master two of these.
Now make your way to Mideel to visit the third of four Materia Caves. In the
Highwind, make your way to the northern tip of the continent to find the
Materia Cave, then head to the closest grassy area to land the Highwind.
Inside you'll find the [QUADRA MAGIC MATERIA]. It does what it says on the
tin - uses paired magic four times!
The last Materia Cave is situated in the far north-eastern corner of the map
and can only be reached using a Gold Chocobo. You'll have to wait and see
what prize awaits...
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 L - Under The Ocean
--Key Items - Huge Materia, Key to Ancients
Now is the time to grab the Huge Materia that Cloud mentioned earlier. Get
into your sub, and when you submerge you'll be given a quick tutorial on how
to operate the submarine, then SAVE YOUR GAME! You'll see a huge beast
underwater, this is Emerald WEAPON, and is considered the hardest boss in the
game.
NOTE - If you pilot your sub at maximum height, you'll avoid Emerald
altogether.
Avoiding this super-boss, head to the southern part of the map to find the
Red Submarine along the ridges, approach it to obtain the [HUGE MATERIA].
Here is a Map of the ocean floor: (The same map can be found in section F)

So we finally get around to visiting the legendary Sunken Gelnika. Head
over to the Gold Saucer area in your Sub un-submerged and Save Your Game! If
you bump into Emerald WEAPON by mistake you WILL die. Also, make sure to have
Yuffie and preferably Cid in your party. If you sub-merge near the submarine
dock you should be able to see the Gelnika in plain sight (mind the pun).
NOTE - If you were to battle Emerald now then you would see a 20 minute
countdown timer in the top right corner of the screen. This is what
the Underwater Materia is used for; removing the time limit for
defeating Emerald WEAPON, and nothing else.
This was my set-up heading into my sub:
1) Cloud - Lv 52 (Back)
Apocalypse - MP Turbo, Slash-All, Magic Plus
Wizard Bracelet - All=Restore, Added Effect=Contain, HP Absorb=Steal,
Circlet Enemy Skill, HP Plus
2) Yuffie - Lv 49 (Back)
Sense, Manipulate
Oritsuru - Added Cut=Deathblow, Steal as well=Morph, Enemy Skill
Wizard Bracelet - Elemental=Leviathan, All=Heal, Steal, Luck Plus,
Ribbon HP Plus, MP Plus
3) Cid - Lv 50 (Back)
Scimitar - Mime, Quadra Magic
Wizard Bracelet - Sneak Attack=Mug, Enemy Skill, Revive, Gravity,
Ribbon Speed Plus, HP Plus, MP Plus
If Emerald WEAPON happens to be sat in front of it then simply emerge then
submerge to make him appear elsewhere.
Once on board make use of the save point, you'll definitely need it. Then
open the nearby chest for the [HEAVEN'S CLOUD].
Go through the northern door next and head right opening the chest containing
the [ESCORT GUARD], which is the men's version of the Minerva Band.
Then head down the stairs, and check the top left corner for a hidden chest
containing Yuffie's ultimate weapon, the legendary [CONFORMER]!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - THE CONFORMER [
] [
] At last, we finally have our hands on the Conformer! Although it has 0 [
] growth, the Conformer is the only weapon in the game that can Morph for [
] the same amount of damage as normal, and I very strongly doubt that this [
] weapon was placed here, the treasure house of morphing, accidentally. [
] Equip it to her right away to start Source farming, not forgetting to [
] steal from the 3 Unknowns and the Serpents. [
] [
] NOTE - The Conformer will deal damage based on the enemies Lv; the higher [
] their Lv is the more powerful the Conformer will become. If Yuffie [
] attacks multiple foes then an average is taken. If the enemies Lv [
] is 64 then Yuffie's attack power quadruples, Lv 32 Yuffie's attack [
] doubles, and Lv 16 would be normal attack power. Anything below [
] Lv 16 and Yuffie's attack power would be less than normal. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
When you're ready to move on head to the top right of the screen to GRAB THAT
MATERIA! the [DOUBLE CUT MATERIA]. You can fill Yuffie with whatever Materia
you like, just bear in mind that none of the Materia linked to her weapon
will level up so long as you have the Conformer equipped.
Now head back to the top floor and follow the catwalk round to the chest
containing the [MEGALIXIR]. Ignore the suspiciously interesting looking
yellow light, it's nothing, instead head back to the entrance and save. When
you head through to the next screen you'll have a familiar Boss battle on
your hands.
NOTE - You can revisit the Sunken Gelnika as many times as you like, but if
you visit after the raid on Midgar later on then this boss battle
won�t be here.

NOTES - If you're wondering why you've only fought Rude twice yet the above
states that this is your 3rd Rude encounter, it's because the game
actually intends for you to fight Rude in Rocket Town first before
coming to the Gelnika.
- This hallway is the only place in which you can encounter the Bad
Rap and the Poodler to Morph for Speed and Luck Sources. Bear in
mind that it's much easier to farm here once you've obtained the
Mega-All Materia.
- I haven't misspelt it, it really is called the 'Touph Ring'
(spelling fixed in later versions).
Head into the final Cargo Room and open the chest on the left for a
[MEGALIXIR]. Then follow the top pathway round to a chest containing the
[SPIRIT LANCE].
Now head into the pit that is the cargo room and GRAB THAT MATERIA! the just
visible [HADES MATERIA] on the right.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - HADES MATERIA [
] [
] Without a doubt this is the best Materia to combine with the Added Effect [
] Materia. It will protect you from or allow you attack with: [
] [
] Sleep, Poison, Confusion, Silence, Frog & Small [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
Now head south and open the chest on the left for the [OUTSIDER] and the
chest on the right for the [HIGHWIND], Cid's Lv 4 Limit Break. Use it if
you're ready to unlock the Gale Warning Trophy.
We're now done with the Gelnika, for now. Unless you wish to Source farm some
more, head out to the save point. Make sure to save as Emerald WEAPON may be
waiting directly outside the Gelnika.
Now is the time to evaluate how many Sources you have. At this stage, I had:
7 x Power Sources - all to Yuffie
8 x Guard Sources - all to Yuffie
6 x Magic Sources - all to Cloud
7 x Mind Sources - 3 to Yuffie and 3 to Cid
4 x Speed Sources - all to Cid
4 x Luck Sources - all to Yuffie
HOW YOU DISTRIBUTE YOUR SOURCES IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU! First choose an end-
game party, then decide how you wish to use you characters:
I'm giving Yuffie the Power Sources because I want her to be my strongest
physical character, the Magic Sources to Cloud because I want him to be my
main sorcerer, the Luck Sources to Yuffie to help with her critical hits and
the rest were distributed to even out the stats.
Lastly, here is a list of random battle encounters in which you can morph
Sources:
Power Source - Heavy Tank - Reactor in Gongaga
Screamer - Mt. Nibel, winding pathway to rector
Unknown - Sunken Gelnika Cargo Room
Guard Source - Bagnadrana - Mt. Corel Reactor
Spiral - Mideel Area
Unknown 2 - Sunken Gelnika Cargo Room
Maximum Kimaira - Midgar Mako Cannon Area (& Battle Square)
Armored Golem - Northern Cave
Magic Source - 8 eye - Temple of The Ancients (& Battle Square)
Unknown 3 - Sunken Gelnika Cargo Room
Mind Source - Dragon Rider - Whirlwind Maze (& Battle Square)
Killbin - Whirlwind Maze (Can't re-visit)
Serpent - Sunken Gelnika Cargo Room
Speed Source - Poodler - Sunken Gelnika Hallway
Luck Source - Bad Rap - Sunken Gelnika Hallway
So as you can see, the Magic, Mind, Speed and Luck Sources can only be farmed
right here, in the Gelnika, unless you were to try Morphing at the Battle
Square. If however you wanted an easier time obtaining Power Sources then I
suggest fighting the Heavy Tank in Gongaga, and if you wanted easier Guard
Sources then I suggest fighting the Spiral in the Dirt Area near Mideel.
NOTES - If you wanted to, you could head over to Gongaga now before doing
anything else to obtain a few Power Sources from the Heavy Tanks. I
got Yuffie's base level up to 85 before I moved on (equip Sneak
Attack and Morph, if you have Sneak Attack that is).
- If you wanted to, you could utilise the Extended W-Item Trick once
you've obtained the W-Item Materia to duplicate Power Sources and
Magic Sources with ease. Use QSI Link [Extended W-Item Trick] for
more info.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 N - Lucrecia's Cave II
--Items - Death Penalty, Chaos
Jump back on your Chocobo and return to Lucrecia's cave with Vincent in
your party once more. Provided you've engaged in roughly 10 battles, Lucrecia
will have left you two items, the [DEATH PENALTY] which is Vincent's ultimate
weapon, and [CHAOS], Vincent's Lv 4 Limit Break. The Death Penalty's attack
power will increase with the total amount of kills Vincent has; with 6912
kills Vincent's attack quadruples, with 2816 kills his attack doubles, and
with 786 kills his attack is normal. If Vincent has fewer then 786 kills then
his attack power will be less than normal, with a minimum of 62.5% da,age
output.
Due to the absurd amount of kills required before the Death Penalty becomes
useful to us, most people don't bother with it. It is useful to know that if
you were prepared to get roughly 17,000 kills with Vincent, then you could
send his damage counter into overflow, causing a 1 hit kill to Emerald WEAPON
(you'd also need Vincent to have 255 strength, be in Berserk and land a
critical hit, as well as being in the front row).
Teach Vincent Chaos to unlock the Inner Demons Trophy.
NOTES - It's around this time that I mastered Revive. As soon as you do,
equip the new Revive and start mastering that one too. In fact, any
Materia that you've mastered should be swapped out with the new one
if it's a unique piece.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 O - Chocobo Breeding Step 5
Head over to the Chocobo Ranch. If all is well, you should now be able to
breed your Black Chocobo with your Wonderful Chocobo using a Zeio Nut to make
a Gold Chocobo (obviously save before you try). You will have a 3.1% chance
of getting a Gold Chocobo if both Chocobos 'wins' total *less* than 12
between them.
NOTE - You *MUST* select the Black Chocobo first, regardless of whether or
not you've won 12 combined races .
If the Black Chocobo is still too young to breed, then battle around for a
while or consider continuing on with the story. When you have your Gold
Chocobo, feed it 25 Sylkis Greens to max out Speed, Stamina & Co-op, all
other stats (Acceleration & Intelligence) should already be maxed if they
were for the parents. You may need to feed a few Curiel Greens to max out
Stamina if it isn't at 999.
Congratulations, not only do you have an awesome racing Chocobo, but you also
have a Chocobo that can go almost anywhere on the World Map!
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 P - Round Island
--Items - Knights of The Round Materia
Take your brand new Chocobo out for a ride, then head directly north-east
until you get to the corner of the map. Here you should see a huge round
island, climb it to find the Materia Cave. Inside you'll discover the
[KNIGHTS OF ROUND MATERIA], which is the most powerful and most painstakingly
long-winded Summon in the game, not just in terms of how long it takes for
the animation to play out, but also how long it takes to master; It requires
an insatiable 500,000 AP!
Note that you can encounter the Goblin and the Mystery Ninja on this island.
When you are ready, head over to the Gold Saucer for the final section of the
sidequests.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.10 Q - More Gold Saucer Stuff
--Items - Sprint Shoes, Precious Watch, Cat's Belt, Chocobracelet,
Counter Attack Materia, Flayer, Gil Plus Materia, EXP Plus Materia,
Omnislash, W-Summon Materia,
There is a reason why I have chosen the Gold Saucer section till last, and
that is because I don't expect you to get it all done in one sitting if you
don't want to. You should have stockpiled a fair whack of GP by now, so now
is the time to fight in the Battle Square some more. Set Yuffie up this time
and save before heading into the Gold Saucer, making sure that she has the
Conformer equipped. Here was my set-up:
Yuffie - Lv 50 (Back)
Enemy Skill, Slash-All
Conformer - Added Effect=Hades, Added Cut=Deathblow, Heal, Restore,
Imperial Guard - Steal as well=Morph, Counter Attack, Counter Attack,
Ribbon HP Plus, MP Plus
NOTE - The second Counter Attack Materia has come from the Chocobo Races, or
rather, will come. I haven't actually obtained it yet.
Here's a rundown of what's new in the Gold Saucer:
Chocobo Square -
O.k. so I know you're probably already familiar with how the Chocobo
Races work by now, but I just wanted to fill you in on a few things. If
you win 10 times with the same Chocobo in class S then you will receive
the Sprint Shoes, Precious Watch, Cat's Bell, Chocobracelet and the
Counter Attack Materia!
NOTE - Common misconception is that you are required to win 10 races in
a row whilst in S Class to receive the prizes as mentioned. This
is false. The criteria is that you need to have won 19 races with
one Chocobo.
As previously mentioned, you're going to want to save up over 3000 GP to
obtain everything there is to obtain at the Wonder Square and Battle
Square, so hopefully by that time you will have obtained the two
exclusive items found only at the Chocobo Square by the time you are
done - the Sneak Attack Materia and the Enemy Away Materia. Also, try your
hardest to get at least one, if not two Magic Counters as they will
greatly help for later, as will Counter Attacks.
Speed Square -
If you were skilled enough to obtain 5000 points last time around for the
Umbrella, then you're going to want to try it again to obtain a weapon
for Cid, the [FLAYER] which is the strongest weapon in the game to have
normal growth. Just make sure to save enough GP for the Battle Square
NOTE - Remember - PS4/PC users will be able to hit the 'Zeppelin
Propellor' to earn a crazy amount of points, and also, if the
game bugs out at the big UFO part, remember to set the date
manually to a date after 5th Dec 2015 but before 1st Jan 2016.
Wonder Square -
There are a few new games and prizes available to us now, these are:
Snow Game -
This is basically the same as the snowboarding game that we played at
the Icicle Inn, and is probably the most entertaining of all the
games at the Wonder Square. There are 3 courses, and scoring 70+ on
any course will unlock the next one.
Your overall score is based on 3 things - how many balloons you hit,
your finishing time and how many obstacles you didn't hit. If you
score 90+ then you will win a prize, the prizes are as follows:
Course A - 30GP & Safety Bit
Course B - 100GP & All Materia
Course C - 300GP & Crystal Bangle
I recommend obtaining the Safety Bit, as they will help out for the
final dungeon. You can always buy them from Rocket Town, of course!
You can also unlock a time attack mode, although no new prizes can be
won that way. If you have Tifa or Cid in your party then they will
occasionally request to have a go. To learn more about Time Attack
mode use QSI Link [Snowboarding].
Torpedo Attack -
If you found the Red Submarine chase to be fairly boring then you'll
probably find this to be quite boring too seeing as it's basically
the same game. Each difficulty that you beat it on you'll receive
20GP and a prize (once only), the prizes are as follows:
Stage 1 - 20GP & an Ink
Stage 2 - 20GP & a T/S Bomb
Stage 3 - 20GP & a Dragon Fang
Stage 4 - 20GP & a Dragon Scales
Stage 5 - 20GP & a Cauldron
You don't need to beat the next difficulty along to win the next
prize, you could just keep beating it on the lowest setting to get
all 5 prizes if you wish!
GP Exchange -
Talk to the woman standing by the Arm Wrestling machine to find a few
new prizes up for grabs:
Gil Plus Materia - 1000GP
EXP Plus Materia - 2000GP
I don't expect you to be able to afford to buy them right away, but
you will need to buy these at some point as they aren't obtainable
anywhere else in the game. This is where the Chocobo grinding comes
into play, also, don't forget about the man who can convert gil into
GP!
As you can probably ascertain for yourself, these two pieces of
Materia will GREATLY help for some of the more 'grindy' trophies.
Battle Square -
There are a few new prizes available to us now, the most prestigious
being the W-Summon Materia for 64,000BP! Note that Clouds Lv 4 Limit
Break, Omnislash has now gone down in price to 32,000 BP, so make that
your first target. You can also get Remedys for 100 BP, these are good
to spend your left over BP on.
The monsters here are much harder, if you were able to stock up on Smoke
Bombs earlier on then they will really help. Remember, the bigger the
handicap, the bigger the reward. There are two unique monsters found only
at the Battle Square, and they are Ho-chu and Tonberry. Ho-chu looks a
little bit like the Malboro's cousin, and the Tonberry shouldn't be
confused with the Master Tonberry found in the North Crater:
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~# Make sure to do the usual stuff
> ENEMIES: [ HO-CHU] [ TONBERRY] < such as Big Guard, Regen, etc. and
> < use Death Force if you see the
> ------Lv: [-----39] [---------25] < Tonberry, he'll kill you in one
> ------HP: [---4300] [------15000] < move otherwise. Don't hold back on
> ------MP: [----290] [--------250] < using your strongest magic,
> -----EXP: [----750] [--------999] < Aqualung and Magic Breath will work
> ------AP: [-----70] [---------99] < well. Also, if you encounter the
> -----GIL: [---2500] [--------999] < Ghost Ship don't forget to cast L4
> ---STEAL: [Circlet] [Turbo Ether] < Suicide on it (and then morph it if
> ---MORPH: [-Ribbon] [-----Elixir] < you haven't already). Don't forget
> --ABSORB: [----PSN] [-----------] < that the Dragon Riders can be
> -NULLIFY: [----GRV] [--------GRV] < morphed into Mind Sources, and the
> --DOUBLE: [----WTR] [-----------] < 8 eye can be morphed into Magic
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~# Sources.
Remember - you can see which handicap yields the highest BP rewards by
visiting section E.08 D.
After you have obtained the Omnislash and W-Summon, you must then return
once you have obtained Cloud's ultimate weapon, which is called Ultima
Weapon, and is obtained by defeating... Ultimate WEAPON (I'm not lying).
You can then talk to the clerk to engage in a special match, winning this
match will result in the Final Attack Materia which can't be obtained
elsewhere.
NOTE - If you were to win 10 of these special battles in a row you would
earn the special prize of a Ribbon. Or, you could just simply
Morph a Ho-chu when you see one. It's up to you. To be honest,
the only reason I'm choosing Yuffie for these battles is so that
I can obtain a third Ribbon now the easy way, by morphing a
Ho-chu.
And that just about concludes perhaps the longest sidequest section of the
game, and quite possibly the last (or not..)! Note that if you fancy saving
some of the grinding for later on then that's absolutely fine, we'll have to
return later on anyway once we've obtained Cloud's Ultima Weapon. I'm only
grabbing Omnislash for now (which will also net me The Slash to End All
Slashes Trophy).
Next stop, Rocket Town! Make sure to have Cid in your party and then set up
for a fairly easy Boss Battle! Make sure to have Steal equipped, also.

| {D2.11} - Cid! The Astronaut! |
| |
| ITEMS: |
| |_|Ziedrich (Boss) |_|Venus Gospel |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.11 A - The Final Frontier (�Science just might be what saves the planet�)
--Items - Venus Gospel
--Boss - Turks: Rude Lv 42 (Ziedrich)
--Extra - Huge Materia
Note that you will fight the same Senior Grunts and Attack Squads here that
you've fought before, and neither enemies pose much of a threat. Although
load-out advice probably isn't necessary here, I'll tell you my set-up anyway:
1) Cloud - Lv 53 (Front)
Heaven's Cloud - Full Cure, Contain, Enemy Skill, Mime, Sense, Magic Plus
Crystal Bangle - All=Restore, Sneak Attack=Steal, HP Plus, MP Plus
Circlet
2) Barret - Lv 48 (Back)
AM Cannon - Added Effect=Hades, Revive, Heal, Slash-All, Steal
Shinra Alpha - Added Cut=Deathblow, Enemy Skill, Luck Plus, HP Plus,
Curse Ring MP Plus
3) Cid - Lv 51 (Front)
Spirit Lance - All=Time, MP Turbo=Comet
Wizard Bracelet - Steal as Well=Mug, Enemy Skill, Manipulate, Sense,
Curse Ring Double Cut, Speed Plus, HP Plus
If you missed the Fourth Bracelet and Guard Source then you can pick them up
from the Weapon Shop and the Item Shop, respectively. Otherwise, make your
way to the Shin-Ra Type 26, and as you ascend the rocket you'll have to fight
2 x Attack Squads twice, followed by a third fight with 2 x Attack Squads and
1 x Senior Grunt.
Then you'll have to fight one of the Turks.

%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
After you've taken care of Rude, head inside the rocket to take out one more
Senior Grunt. Then head through into the shuttle's control room and after
some dialogue and an FMV you'll have control of Cloud again (how the hell did
Palmer survive the truck incident on Disk 1???)
Note that it makes no difference to the *story* whether you take the Huge
Materia here or not, the outcome is the same (however your still going to
want to obtain the Huge Materia for 'other' purposes). Head to the right and
then climb the ladder to find the chamber holding the Huge Materia. You'll
now have three minutes to try to work out the correct sequence of buttons
whilst Cid will shout out clues.
To be honest, this is probably one of the hardest mini-games in the game
seeing as it's pretty much based on pot luck, Cid's 'clues' aren't really
that much help. If you give up then the sequence is O, Sq, X, X. Again, if
you fail this mini-game then it will not affect you trophy progress, it'll
just make it that much harder to obtain the Bahamut ZERO Materia, so do make
sure to walk away the fourth and final Huge Materia.
Once you've finished, head back down the ladder and into the Control Room,
then head south and down another ladder. You shouldn't need this guide now
for the following events, you can pick it up once you have regained control
of Cloud on the Highwind.
Before continuing, head back into Rocket Town (your Chocobo will be still be
there if you'd left one outside). Talk to the man that you spoke to before
who gave you the Yoshiyuki. After speaking to him 3 times he'll give you
Cid's ultimate weapon, the [VENUS GOSPEL]. The more MP Cid has, the stronger
this weapon will become; with full MP Cid's attack power triples, at 2/3's it
doubles, and at 1/3 it is normal. Anything below 1/3 MP will result in lower
than normal attack power.

--D2.12 A - Bugenhagen's Laboratory (�You haven't remembered. You haven't
forgotten.�)
--Items - Bahamut ZERO Materia
If you hadn't obtained the Key to Ancients as advised earlier during the
sidequest section, then now is the time to do so. Head over to where your
submarine is docked and save your game (just in case you bump into WEAPON).
Keep heading north until you come to an underwater ravine. If you were to
head left you would come to a long tunnel leading to Lucrecia's Cave.
Instead, keep heading north to come to a much shorter tunnel leading to the
'Key to Ancients'. Look in section F.06 for a map.
Note - It is at this point in the game where you are intended to pick up the
Huge Materia from the red submarine along the depths of the southern
ridges, and also explore the Sunken Gelnika to the west, so do so
now if you haven't already. (Technically speaking, the game intends
for you to get to a point in the Forgotten Capitol where you cannot
progress any further without the key, and then you would have been
expected to explore underwater until you found it. I'm just making
it so you can do the Forgotten Capitol section in one visit.)
Now head over to Cosmo Canyon. You don't have to bring Red XIII along if you
don't want to, but I shall along with Tifa. By now you should have all 4 Huge
Materias, you can check by looking under the Key Items tab in 'Items'. Make
your way up to Bugenhagen's observatory then head into his 'machine' to talk
to him.
After an amount of dialogue, Cloud will ask if he can store the Huge Materia
within the machine. If you'd missed one (it doesn't matter which) then you
would have missed out on the Huge Blue Materia, if you'd missed two then
you'd lose the Huge Red & Blue Materia, three you'd lose the Huge Red, Blue &
Green Materia and (obviously) if you'd missed all 4 then you'd get squat
(losing the Yellow Materia, also)!
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - HUGE MATERIA [
] [
] Huge Yellow Materia - When you have mastered most (but not all) Command [
] Materias, you can then exchange them for the Master [
] Command Materia. This will equip: Coin, Deathblow, [
] Manipulate, Mime, Morph, Sense, Steal and Throw to [
] one character (these are the ones that need [
] mastering). [
] [
] Huge Green Materia - When you have mastered all Magic Materias, you can [

] will equip every single Magic spell available to one [
] character. [
] [
] Huge Red Materia - When you have mastered all Summon Materias, you can [
] then exchange them for the Master Summon Materia. This [
] will equip every single Summon spell available to one [

] [
] Huge Blue Materia - If you have obtained the Bahamut and Neo Bahamut [
] Materias then you will be rewarded with the Bahamut [
] ZERO Materia (whilst still retaining Bahamut and Neo [
] Bahamut). [
] [
] Bone Village - If you failed to obtain the Huge Blue Materia then you will [
] be able to dig up Bahamut ZERO from the Excavation Site on [

] Materias then you will still be able to receive one set [
] of Master Materia from the Kalm Traveller by trading him [
] the Earth Harp. More info on how to obtain that later on. [
] [
] NOTE - You will need to have in your possession at least one set of [
] Master Materia for the Materia Overlord Achievement to pop. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
As the side note suggests, EXAMINE THAT HUGE BLUE MATERIA! to obtain the
[BAHAMUT ZERO MATERIA], provided of course that you have obtained all four
Huge Materias and the Bahamut & Neo Bahamut Materias (you'll also unlock the
Bahamutype-0 Trophy). Then examine one of the Huge Materias to descend back
to the lower level, as you leave you'll be transported back to the Highwind.
NOTE - You can return to Bugenhagen's machine any time you like, you just
need to operate the switch on the right.
Before continuing you can make use of Operations to restore your HP/MP if you
wish, then you can head to the cockpit. Try talking to your comrades to hear
their thoughts on Aeris before taking off, you can also talk to Yuffie if you
wish to hear Cloud talk about SOLDIER as if he still thinks he was in it...
Make sure to pick up your Chocobo from Cosmo Canyon assuming you had one,
then head over to Bone Village, but instead of heading through the Excavation
Site and then Corral Valley you can simply land your Highwind in the small
area between Corral Valley and the Forgotten Capitol.
NOTE - You could also return to the Great Glacier by using a Chocobo (or by
snowboarding) if you wished, but you can only go as far as the base
of Gaea's Cliff (Holzoff won't allow you to go any further).
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.12 B - Aeris's Prayer (�When the time comes, we must search for 'Holy'.�)
At the three-way split, take the left path and follow it round until you
come to the giant cave. As before, I'm not going to walk you through this
part, just *make sure* to pay attention as you'll learn a lot about Aeris.
When you try to leave you'll get a phone call from Cait Sith. After an
impressive FMV you'll then get some dialogue from the Shinra. Once that's all
finished, make your way back out to the World Map, and then board the
Highwind.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.12 C - Diamond & Ultimate WEAPON (�No, it's... feeling something.
...Yeah, it senses murder.�)
--Items - Final Attack Materia
--Boss - Diamond WEAPON Lv 49 (Rising Sun),
Ultimate WEAPON Lv 61 (Circlet, Reflect Ring, Ultima Weapon)
After watching Diamond Weapon emerge from the ocean, head over to Midgar to
await its painfully slow march towards land. You can try ramming it with the
Highwind, you can even running up to it in a Gold Chocobo, it'll all be a
waste of time. Instead, try setting up yourselves with Triple and Double
Growth weapons and armour, the next two boss battles will give out huge
amounts of AP:
1) Cloud - Lv 54 (Front)
Apocalypse - Quadra Magic, Mime, Double Cut
Rune Armlet - Contain, Sneak Attack, Steal, Hades
Curse Ring
2) Yuffie - Lv 50 (Back)
Mug
Oritsuru - All=Restore, Elemental=Ramuh, Comet, Enemy Skill, Morph,
Rune Armlet - Revive, Added Cut, MP Turbo, Speed Plus
Ribbon
3) Cid - Lv 51 (Front)
Scimitar - Added Effect, Knights of Round
Rune Armlet - Ultima, Steal, Long Range, Luck Plus
Curse Ring
Some of my selections have been purely based on my end-game strategies (which
materias I want duplicates of), others are to do with the upcoming boss. Make
sure that each character has a strong magic spell that they can hit with, and
make sure to have Steal equipped. When Diamond has reached the shores, run
into him to engage him.

* | DIAMOND WEAPON | | BOSS BATTLE: | 33 | *
* |__________________________________________| |______________|____________| *
* | | | *
* The first thing you're going to want to do | ---------Lv: | 49-------- | *
* is cast Big Guard followed Death Force | ---------HP: | 30000----- | *
* followed by Regen with Yuffie, while the | ---------MP: | 30000----- | *
* other two attempt to steal the [RISING SUN]. | --------EXP: | 35000----- | *
* This boss will be impervious to physical | ---------AP: | 3500------ | *
* attacks to begin with, so just blast him | --------GIL: | 25000----- | *
* with your strongest magic moves. When he | ------STEAL: | Rising Sun | *
* uses Diamond Flash he will drain your | -----HALVES: | FRE------- | *
* characters HP to critical whilst also | ----NULLIFY: | GRV------- | *
* casting Silence, at this stage have Yuffie | -----DOUBLE: | LHT------- | *
* cast White Wind (if you gave her the Ribbon |___________________________| *
* as advised). From this point onwards, *
* Diamond WEAPON will now be impervious to magic attacks, so just keep *
* attacking it physically until it is dead. *
* *
* NOTE - Once you've stolen the Rising Sun, you could just cast Knights of *
* The Round once to finish it off in one go, but it'll probably take *
* just as long as the method shown above. Also, Diamond won't use *
* Diamond Flash if no-one has used a Summon or Limit Break. Once *
* defeated PS4 players will receive the Diamond Disintegrator *
* Trophy. *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
Once you have defeated Diamond Weapon you will see some things happening
with President Rufus, and After a few FMVs you'll be back on board the
Highwind. The game intends for you to approach the North Crater, but instead
we're going to take out Ultimate Weapon who has now appeared near Junon.
NOTE - Make a fresh save for this bit. *If* you were to fly up to the
North Crater, and then fly over Midgar you would trigger the point
of no return for Disk 2, and there's still a few things left to do
first so make sure to not accidentally progress with the storyline.
There's a fair amount of flying around to do, also.
What proceeds now is a series of fights in which you gain 0 AP, it's not
until the final fight that you'll receive the huge rewards. This is my
temporary load-out, bearing in mind that I'm protecting myself from the
'Hidden' Element:
1) Cloud - Lv 55 (Back)
MP Plus
Heaven's Cloud - Ultima, Contain, Enemy Skill, Long Range, Magic Plus,
Shinra Alpha - Elemental=HP Plus, All=Restore, Sneak Attack=Mug
Sneak Gloves
2) Yuffie - Lv 52 (Back)
Double Cut, Typoon
Conformer - All=Barrier, MP Turbo=Comet, Revive, Enemy Skill,
Crystal Bangle - Elemental=HP Plus, Steal, Counter Attack, MP Plus,
Champion Belt Bahamut Zero
3) Vincent - Lv 50 (Back)
Counter Attack, Speed Plus
Death Penalty - All=Time, Steal as Well=Steal, Enemy Skill, Mime,
Imperial Guard - Elemental=HP Plus, Added Cut=Deathblow, Luck Plus,
Champion Belt MP Plus
When you're ready, save the game then head over to the small crater near
Junon to find Ultimate WEAPON waiting.

* | ULTIMATE WEAPON | | BOSS BATTLE: | 29 B | *
* |_______________________________________| |______________|_______________| *
* | | | *
* NOTE - Ultimate will only be immune to | ---------Lv: | 61----------- | *
* water and earth when he is aerial. | ---------HP: | 100,000------ | *
* | ---------MP: | 400---------- | *
* This boss will not be defeated in one go. | --------EXP: | 35000-------- | *
* After either 5 turns, or 20,000 HP has | ---------AP: | 3500--------- | *
* been knocked off, he will flee, you'll | --------GIL: | 25000-------- | *
* then have to chase him to ram into him. | ----STEAL 1: | Circlet------ | *
* After being rammed a few times he'll then | ----STEAL 2: | Reflect Ring- | *
* fly over to a fixed location, and | -------DROP: | Ultima Weapon | *
* depending on his location he'll either be | ----NULLIFY: | GRV--WTR--ERT | *
* aerial or on the ground. This is why the | ENEMY SKILL: | SHADOW FLARE- | *
* Long Range Materia is advised. |______________________________| *
* *
* Here is where he can be found: *
* *
* Near Gongaga - Ground Battle *
* Near Fort Condor - Ground Battle *
* Near Midgar - Ground Battle *
* North Crater - Ground Battle *
* Near Junon - Aerial Battle *
* Near Mideel - Aerial Battle *
* Near North Corel - Aerial Battle *
* Near Cosmo Canyon - Final, Aerial Battle. *
* *
* If you are fighting him on the ground then you can steal the [REFLECT *
* RING], and if he's in the air then you can steal the [CIRCLET]. He'll have *
* something on him every time you battle him, so try to steal 2 Reflect *
* Rings from him. Save before every battle, then straight after the battle *
* make sure not to lose sight of him, he can be a real pain to track down *
* otherwise. Only save the game when he is stationary. *
* *
* NOTE - Be wary when searching for him to not accidentally progress with *
* the story. If you find yourself parachuting into Midgar then *
* re-load your save. *
* *
* In terms of strategy there's nothing really to tell you other than to do *
* what you know to do; Big Guard, Regen etc. Yuffie s Conformer works the *
* best here seeing as its attack power grows if it's up against a high *
* levelled enemy. Remember, you won't receive any battle rewards until the *
* final fight, which will be after his HP has dropped to below 20,000. He *
* will then fly over to the area near Cosmo Canyon. *
* *
* You'll need to be more careful in this final fight seeing as before he *
* dies he'll use one final attack which will be the Enemy Skill Shadow *
* Flare. This is an extremely powerful attack, but it'll only hit the last *
* player to have hit him. If the player dies from the attack then you won�t *
* learn the skill, so make sure to have the Reflect Ring equipped. You'll *
* also get the rewards for this final fight, so make sure to have changed *
* your load-out, mine was: *
* *
* NOTE - Ultimate will not have a stealable on him for this final battle. *
* Also, setting up the Reflect Ring will result in Shadow Flare *
* reflected back unto Ultimate, but you'll still learn the Enemy *
* Skill! *
* *
* 1) Cloud - Lv 55 (Back) *
* *
* Apocalypse - Quadra Magic, Mime, Double Cut, *
* Imperial Guard - All=Restore, Enemy Skill, Enemy Skill, Enemy Skill, *
* Reflect Ring Enemy Skill *
* *
* 2) Yuffie - Lv 52 (Back) *
* *
* Rising Sun - Sneak Attack=Morph, Added Cut, Speed Plus *
* Rune Armlet - Revive, Heal, Counter Attack, Magic Plus *
* Champion Belt *
* *
* 3) Cid - Lv 53 (Back) *
* *
* Scimitar - Added Effect, Knights of Round *
* Rune Armlet - Contain, Comet, Slash-All, Counter Attack *
* Champion Belt *
* *
* Make sure that Cloud gets the final blow as so that all four Enemy Skills *
* learn Shadow Flare, although you can learn it again on Disk 3. Once it is *
* dealt with you'll receive Cloud's ultimate weapon, [ULTIMA WEAPON] which *
* will gain higher attack power the higher Cloud's HP is: at full HP Cloud's *
* attack power triples, and 2/3's it doubles and at 1/3 it is normal. Below *
* 1/3 HP and Cloud's attack power will be less than normal. *
* *
* NOTE - Shadow Flare is regarded as one of the strongest Enemy Skills in *
* the game, although it'll only target one opponent. *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
After the battle has finished Ultimate WEAPON will crash into the canyon
leaving a huge clearing in its path. If you hadn't been Chocobo breeding then
now would be the time to visit the Ancient Forest seeing as you'll now have
access to it, see section D2.10 J - Ancient Forest for the walkthrough.
NOTES - Now that you have defeated Ultimate WEAPON, Ruby WEAPON will now have
appeared in Corel Desert near the Gold Saucer. Be warned, if you
accidentally fly into this thing then you WILL get wiped out, just as
you would if you tried to fight Emerald WEAPON now (the underwater
creature).
- Ruby will not appear until you have engaged in one random encounter.
There are two things that I suggest doing before continuing on with the
story. Now that you have the Ultima Weapon for Cloud, you can finish
obtaining the W-Summon Materia and/or Omnislash at the Battle Arena, then you
can talk to the clerk to engage in an extra battle that only Cloud can
partake in. The battle sequence is fixed:
Round 1 - Sea Worm
Round 2 - Ho-chu
Round 3 - Unknown 3
Round 4 - Serpent
Round 5 - Wolfmeister
Round 6 - Behemoth
Round 7 - Maximum Kimaira
Round 8 - Proud Clod
NOTE - You don't need to have W-Summon or Ultima Weapon equipped, but you DO
have to have learned Omnislash before you can partake in the special
battle. If Cloud isn't ready to learn Omnislash then I suggest
heading over to the forests near Rocket town to fight and Manipulate
the Valron.
Upon winning the battle you'll be rewarded with the [FINAL ATTACK MATERIA],
start Leveling it up immediately! If you win 10 of these battles then you
would be rewarded with a Ribbon, but there are easier ways of getting them
(like morphing a Ho-chu). I also suggest finishing up all of the other things
to do in the Chocobo Square and the Wonder Square, but it's entirely up to
you whether you do them now or later on (I'll give a full side-quest recap
when we get to Disk 3).
If you're skilled enough, try scoring 5000 at the Speed Square for the
Flayer, the strongest weapon in the game to have normal growth (for Cid - 6
un-paired slots). Also, try to obtain a Sneak Attack a and Magic Counter or
two from the Chocobo Races, if you haven't already. When you're ready, head
over to the North Crater to continue on with the story.
NOTE - There's an interesting but pointless glitch here. If you were to hold
down the 'right' direction whilst the following scenes take place
then you would skip out the entire Midgar sequence, and jump straight
to the boss! Pointless, because you'd be missing out some great
weapons that you won't be able to go back for, so this glitch isn't
advised unless you're going for a speed-run. Confirmed to work on the
PS4 version, too.

After watching a few scenes involving Heidegger, Scarlett and Reeve you'll
have to make your way back to Midgar. When you fly over the round city you
will have effectively reached the point of no return for Disk 2, so if
there's anything you wish to do make sure to do it now. Otherwise, save your
game then set up your party, I'm bringing Barret and Vincent along.
NOTES - There is a weapon for Barret coming up that is only available if you
have Barret in your team. You have time between now and then to
change your party around, but for what it's worth I'm sticking him in
now so I don't have to change things around later on.
- If you've mastered you HP Plus Materias or you're about to master
them, be sure to equip the new HP Plus's to start mastering those
too.
- Should you talk to the pilot before dropping into Midgar, you'll
notice he has his Limit Break up!

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Elixir x 2, Megalixir, Aegis Armlet, Starlight Phone, Max Ray
Before parachuting your way into Midgar, you're going to want to set up a
solid load-out. Here was mine:
1) Cloud - Lv 57 (Back)
Crystal Sword - Elemental=Lightning, All=Restore, Final Attack=Revive
Wizard Bracelet - Steal as well=Comet, Enemy Skill, Mime, Counter
Ribbon Attack, Long Range, Magic Plus, HP Plus
2) Vincent - Lv 51 (Back)
Sneak Attack=Deathblow
Long Barrel R - Elemental=Ramuh, Added Effect=Hades, Sneak Attack=Mug,
Wizard Bracelet - Added Cut=Deathblow, Enemy Skill, Slash-All, Counter
Sprint Shoes Attack, Luck Plus HP Plus, MP Plus
3) Barret - Lv 50 (Back)
AM Cannon - Elemental=Lightning, All=Time, Enemy Skill, Sense
Imperial Guard - Steal, Double Cut, Counter Attack, Speed Plus, HP Plus,
Ribbon MP Plus
Save your game, then fly over the top of Midgar. Note that this whole area
ISN'T re-visitable, so make sure to grab everything along the way. After
watching a cool FMV you'll regain control of Cloud in the slums of Midgar.
Follow Cait Sith to a save point, then talk to him again to have him open the
hatch.
As you descend you'll come to a huge area filled with long ladders and
stairways. Before heading down the long stairway, head right along the
catwalk.
When you come to a T-fork, head left to open the chest containing an
[ELIXIR]. Then head all the way right behind the support column for another
chest containing a [MEGALIXIR].
Now make your way make to the entrance, this time heading down the stairway.
At the bottom, hitch up to the ladder to descend into the next screen.
Head left first to come to the very long ladder that you saw in the first
screen. At the top you'll find a chest containing the [AEGIS ARMLET], which
has great stats but low Materia slots. Now head back down the ladder.
Now run past the first ladder to the right, and as you jump on the platform
it'll lower down, forcing you to head to the left. Climb the two sets of
ladders here back to the first screen. Now follow the pathway round to the
hug chute, when you emerge you'll be able to grab the [STARLIGHT PHONE] from
the chest on the left and an [ELIXIR] from the chest on the right.
Head down the southern ladders and jump into 'Chute 42' on the right. Back at
the first screen you can follow the path round to another long ladder, at the
top you'll find a incredibly strong weapon for Barret, the [MAX RAY], I
suggest equipping it. (this isn't the aforementioned obtainable that is only
found when Barret is in your party btw, no that weapon would be the Missing
Score and is Barret's ultimate weapon).
NOTE - The Max Ray is the third strongest weapon in the game to have normal
growth (1st being Cid's Flayer, and the 2nd being Cloud's Ragnarok,
which we'll be obtaining shortly).
There's nothing left to collect in this area now, so head back down to
'Chute 42' and ascend the ladder. Now climb the long stairway to come to the
save point you saw earlier. Make use of it, then head through the exit. crawl
through the crawlspace to emerge in some winding tunnels very similar to the
ones at the beginning of the game.

--Items - Power Source, Guard Source, Mind Source, Magic Source,
W-Item Materia

Elena Lv 53 (Minerva Band)
So, just like the first time we were in the winding tunnels, north is the
direction we want to be travelling in, but not before heading south first.
This time however we won't have an infinite battle encounter waiting for us,
instead we'll have some goodies to collect.
Make your way south one screen and you'll notice the number 7 sprawled across
the northern wall (presumably it means Sector 7). Keep making your way south
until you get to number 3, here you'll find a chest containing a [POWER
SOURCE]. You'll also see various teammates along your travels.
Head south two more screens (to number 2) to find a chest containing a [GUARD
SOURCE]. Now head to number 1 to find two more chests, one containing a [MIND
SOURCE] and the other containing a [MAGIC SOURCE]. Lastly, head south one
more screen to find a save point and the infamous [W-ITEM MATERIA]. GRAB THAT
INFAMOUS MATERIA!
NOTE - As with the Phoenix Materia and Bahamut ZERO, if you missed W-Item
here now then you can dig it up from the Excavation Site in Bone
Village on Disk 3.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - THE W-ITEM TRICK [
] [
] Those of you who are not in favour of using exploits to further you [
] progress, look away now. This glitch has been known about for many years, [
] and is probably the oldest glitch in the book. [
] [
] So how exactly do you do the W-Item Trick? Well first off, make sure that [
] you have your ATB settings to 'Wait' (in the Config options). Then, [
] arrange your items by 'Type'. Equip the W-Item Materia and get into a [
] battle. What we are now going to do is duplicate a usable item. [
] [
] First, select the item that you wish to duplicate (such as a Megalixir or [
] Turbo Ether), then select another item. Before confirming the target [
] that you would like to use the second item on, press cancel to return to [
] item selection. Your *Megalixir* will now have increased by one. Rinse and [
] repeat until you have 99 Turbo Ethers, Sylkis Greens, whatever! [
] [
] There are various ways of exploiting the W-Item glitch, and the above only [
] shows how to duplicate items that are usable in-battle. To learn how to [
] use the Extended W-Item glitch to duplicate Sources, Weapons, Armour, [
] Accessories, and even fill two inventory slots with the same item, use QSI [
] link [Extended W-Item Trick]. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - Lucky 7's [
] [
] While I'm on the topic, I feel now is a good time to educate you about [
] Lucky 7's. This isn't really a glitch as such, more of a fun easter egg. [
] If your characters current HP lands on 7777, then his/her Status will [
] change for the better. [
] [
] They will enter into '7777 fever' mode, and will continuously hit for 7777 [
] damage until every enemy is dead (or nearly dead if it's a super boss - [
] the player/s will attack 64 times to inflict 497,728 HP). It's like being [
] in ultimate Berserk mode as you will also lose control of the afflicted [
] player. Once the battle has finished the players HP will have reduced to [
] 1. [
] [
] One way that people will invoke Lucky 7's is to have run away from 2222 [
] battles, this will make the Enemy Skill Chocobuckle hit for 2222 HP. Once [
] you've managed to max out your HP (which is 9999), you could then use [
] Chocobuckle on yourself to leave you with bang on 7777 HP. [
] [
] For more ways of setting up All Luck 7's, see section E.18 A. [
] [
] NOTE - Thanks to James Baxter's 7777 FAQ on GameFaq.com, I now have a [
] method for setting up All Lucky 7's with minimal effort! See 'The [
] Super-Duper-Quick And Easy But Long To Explain' method contained [
] within section E.18 A to find out how to use HP Plus's and Magic/ [
] Summon Materia to manipulate your HP accordingly (content of [
] JBaxter's 7777 FAQ has been used with permission). [

O.K., back to the game. Head all the way back to the crawlspace that you
entered from then hold tight, as you progress you'll have to fight the Turks.
This is your hardest Turk battle yet, although they still shouldn't pose too
much of a challenge, just make sure to have Steal equipped and also take out
your Elemental=Lightning combo. Make sure to have Ribbons equipped on
everyone aswell, and a few powerful Summons wouldn't go amiss.
DON'T FORGET TO SAVE! Head back through the crawlspace to save your game, you
are going to want to gain all of the items up for grabs here, not to mention
the battle rewards. When you're ready head back to the Winding Tunnel and
head north slightly to engage the Turks.
NOTES - If you've completed Yuffie's sidequest then you'll have the option to
not fight them. I advise against this as there are some pretty nifty
items that you can steal from them.
- The main reason I equipped Steal as well with Comet2 was for this
battle.
- Another pointless glitch - if you were to run around the inside of
the support beam (so basically touching it) then you could skip out
this boss battle altogether!

* Trying to finish them all off in one go can be a bit of a pain, I suggest *

* AP! *

%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
Once the battle has finished make sure to set up your lightning based attacks
once more, the majority of the enemies we face will be weak vs lightning. Now
make your way north to reach a the V section. Heading north west would
continue on with the story, which we're not quite ready to do just yet.
Instead, head north east, and then north west (NE twice would have taken you
to a dead-end). Climb the ladder you see here to arrive back at the Shinra HQ.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D2.13 C - Return to Shinra HQ (�The Sister Ray's not this way!�)
--Items - Pile Bunker, Master Fist, Mind Source, Speed Source, HP Shout, Grow
Lance, Behemoth Horn
Note that all of the enemies you fight here will be the same as the ones
you fought the first time round. Also, you can now encounter enemies on the
63rd Floor, which you couldn't previously. Firstly, if you'd missed the
**'Turtle Paradise News No.2'** on the northern billboard on the 1st Floor
then now's the time to grab it, you won�t get another chance after now.
Next head up to the shop on the 2nd Floor. Remember those two chests that
were previously locked? Well now there not, so grab the one on the left for
the relatively worthless [PILE BUNKER] for Barret (seeing as we have just
picked up the Max Ray), and the oh-so spectacular [MASTER FIST].
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - TIFA'S MASTER FIST [
] [
] Earlier on I told you that Tifa's Powersoul would quadruple in attack [
] power if she was wearing the Curse Ring. Well the Master Fist will triple [
] in attack power, and given its base damage this makes it potentially the [
] strongest weapon in the game. [
] [
] The Master Fist will double in power if Tifa is inflicted with: [
] Near-Death, Poison, Sadness, Silence, Slow and/or Darkness [
] [
] The Master Fist will triple in power if Tifa is inflicted with: [
] Death Sentence and/or Slow-Numb [
] [
] And yes, the effects do stack. So to start off with, equip Tifa with the [
] Curse Ring and then give her a Tranquilizer to send her attack power [
] sky-rocketing. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
So, it looks like most of the Shinra HQ is deserted following Diamond
WEAPON's attacks, and now we have free reign to do as we please. Well, not
quite, we can only go as far as the 65th Floor, above that and we'll get
stuck in the stairwell.
NOTE - I find it quite amusing to revisit Hojo's laboratory on the 68th
Floor. Even though we can't fully explore everywhere, it is rather
comical to find out that no-one has cleaned up since the Sephiroth
incident which must have happened months ago.
When you're ready, head to the 64th Floor. If you'd put some gil into the
vending machine on your first visit to the Shinra HQ then you could check it
now for it to dispense a [MIND SOURCE] and a [SPEED SOURCE].
Now head into the northern locker room. Check the very back wall roughly in
the middle to find Cait Sith's ultimate weapon, [HP SHOUT]. As with Cloud's
Ultima Weapon, the HP Shout will increase in attack power if Cait Sith's HP
is full; at full HP Cait Sith's attack power triples, and 2/3's it doubles
and at 1/3 it is normal. Below 1/3 HP and Cait Sith's attack power will be
less than normal.
Now head to the 63rd Floor. You'll now find that all of the doors have been
lowered, and in the eastern room you be able to grab the [GROW LANCE] for Cid.
Lastly, head down to the 59th Floor. Take the stairwell down once more, and
after descending 4 screens you'll come to the [BEHEMOTH HORN]. It's quicker
then to run back to the top to then take the elevator back down to the 1st
floor seeing as we are now finished with the Shinra HQ, so wave goodbye as
it's the last time you'll see it!
NOTE - The Behemoth Horn can sometimes be 'bugged'. Make sure that you're
running from the 59th Floor down, and not from the 1st Floor up as it
sometimes won�t appear that way. Also, if you missed the Elixir the
first time round, you can grab it now.

--Items - Elixir, Mystile, Missing Score
--Boss - Proud Clod Lv 53 (Ragnarok), Hojo Lv 50,
Heretic Hojo Lv 55 + Left Arm + Right Arm, Lifeform Hojo Lv 58
Back in the Winding Tunnels head south three screens then head north west.
Before climbing the structure as indicated, make sure to prepare yourself for
the upcoming boss battle. He isn't too tough, I replaced my
Elemental=Lightning set-up for Quadra Magic=Contain for Cloud, HP
Absorb=Ultima for Vincent and Bahamut Zero and Destruct for Barret.
NOTE - Make Sure to equip the Destruct Materia.
When you're ready make your way up the structure to fight a boss that I
believe may have had his name misspelt!

* Clod is finished you'll receive *
* Cloud's [RAGNAROK], which is the 2nd strongest normal growth weapon after *
* the Flayer! Equip it straight away. *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
After obtaining the Ragnarok you can then make your way to Ultimecia's
Castle, not before obtaining some GFs first.... Oh wait, wrong Ragnarok, my
bad. Simply *equip* the Ragnarok (that was from FF8 btw) then change back to
your Elemental=Lightning combos. Note that this is the same screen from the
beginning of the game where Cloud jumped onto a moving train to get away from
the Shinra after blowing up Reactor No.1 (I believe, anyway).
Head north to find two chests, one containing an [ELIXIR] and another
containing the [MYSTILE] which is rated as the best piece of armour in the
game. Its defence isn't as high as the Imperial Guard, but remember that
magic defence doesn't matter as your Magic Def and Spirit are always
identical (unless playing the Steam/PS4 version). The Mystile does have the
highest Defence% and Magic Def%, which means your enemies will have a very
hard time hitting you.
Make use of the save point here, and *MAKE SURE* to put Barret into your
party, that weapon I mentioned earlier is about to be obtained. Note that
this is the only screen in which you can fight the Grosspanzer (rated as the
best place in Disk 2 for training, but you must kill the Grosspanzer Mobile
*last*).
Head up the stairs to have Cait Sith beckon you on, then make your way into
the next screen. After one flight of stairs you'll come to the chest
containing the [MISSING SCORE], but as mentioned, it'll only appear if Barret
is in your party.
This weapon is only marginally stronger than the Max Ray, which btw has
normal growth whereas the Missing Score has 0. But, the more AP you feed into
the Missing Score, the stronger it becomes, so lots of mastered Materia would
indeed make it stronger (I'm sticking with the Max Ray)! With 640,000 AP
equipped to it the weapons damage output would quadruple, with 320,000 AP
equipped to it the output would double. Anything less than 160,000 AP and his
attack power would be less than normal.
NOTES - Before continuing make sure to steal a Shinra Alpha or two before
continuing as this is the only screen in which you'll encounter the
SOLDIER:1st in the whole game (other than in Cloud's warped mind).
- There is a glitch involving the Missing Score that enables you to
send Barret's damage into overflow. To activate the glitch, you must
place 5 mastered Knight of The Rounds on his weapon, then give him 4
Hero Drinks in-battle. He'll now kill anything with one hit
(including Emerald, but not Ruby)!
Make sure to have Ribbons equipped to all three characters, other than that
there's not much preparation needed for the upcoming boss, although feel free
to remove your Lightning combo's for anything you like (Summons, etc.).
When you're ready, approach Hojo to talk to him. After an amount if
fascinating dialogue you'll have to fight Him!

After Hojo is defeated you will have effectively finished Disk 2! Sit back,
relax and enjoy the upcoming events and I'll see you on the other side once
you have gained control of Cloud on Disk 3!
NOTE - If Tifa's affection towards you is high enough (+50) then you will
experience a very slightly different set of event.

| |
| ITEMS: |
| |_| Limited Moon |_| Phoenix Materia |_| Phoenix Materia |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
If you've been following this walkthrough to the letter then there will be
three things for you to do now, however if you've been holding off on a few
side quests until later on then now's the time to do them. I'll very briefly
go over all that there is to do (welcome to Disk 3 btw), for now just resist
the urge to descend down the ladder and instead make your way to the cockpit
of the Highwind.
LIMITED MOON
Stick Red XIII in your party and make your way up to Bugenhagen's
Observatory. You'll watch a few touching scenes, after which you'll receive
the [LIMITED MOON], which is Red XIII's ultimate weapon. As with Cid's Venus
Gospel, the more current MP Red XIII has, the stronger the Limited Moon will
become; with full MP Red XIII's attack power triples, at 2/3's it doubles,
and at 1/3 it is normal. Anything below 1/3 MP will result in lower than
normal attack power.
NOTE - You should have now completed your collection of Level 4 Limit Break
manuals and Ultimate Weapons for each character, if you think you
are missing any then check sections E.02 and E.13 (respectively) for
a full rundown.
NEW THINGS AT BONE VILLAGE
Now that you're on Disk 3, it's time to go digging at Bone Village. You'd
only want to do this if you had missed the Phoenix Materia (as previously
advised), the Bahamut ZERO Materia, and/or the W-Item Materia.
Spot 3 - Good Treasure. Just to the right of where the foreman sits.
Bahamut ZERO (4%, once only), Nothing (100% afterwards)
Spot 4 - Good Treasure. Base of the ladders and to the left on the 'X'.
W-Item (100%, Once only), Nothing (100% afterwards)
Spot 5 - Good Treasure. Top of the ladders and to the right.
Phoenix Materia (100%, once only), Nothing (100% afterwards)
Once you've dug up your first copy of the Phoenix Materia, you can make your
way over to Fort Condor. Head out of the open door of the shack, and make
your way up to grab your second copy of the [PHOENIX MATERIA].
NOTES - If you are absolutely sure at this stage that you have done every
single optional quest available then by all mean you can jump down to
section D3.02 - Decent Into Madness.
KEY TO SECTOR 5
Back at Bone Village, ask to search for normal treasure and search just above
where they guy at the entrance was digging. This should bag you the Key to
Sector 5, allowing you entrance to a small part of Midgar.
4TH ENEMY SKILL
Just north west of Bone Village you'll find the Chocobo Sage's house. Head
inside and pet the Green Chocobo to receive the 4th Enemy Skill Materia. Make
sure to buy at least 1 Sylkis Green before you leave.
PREMIUM HEART
Make your way over to Midgar. Using the key you found at the excavation site
you should be able to run through the previously locked heavy duty door. Make
your way through to the Wall Market and head into the 'ITEM' shop. Examine
the previously broken terminal to receive Tifa's ultimate weapon, the Premium
Heart.
NOTE - You can talk to the guy who sold you the batteries in the Weapon Shop
to buy a Sneak Glove for 129,000 gil. It may seem like a lot, but
believe me it's worth it.
KALM TRAVELLER
If you haven't obtained a Guidebook by now then head through Junon's
passageways to reach the underwater tunnel leading up to the reactor. Here
you can fight the Ghost Ship to morph one into the Guidebook.
Now head over to Kalm where you can trade the guidebook for the Underwater
Materia. This will remove the time limit whilst fighting Emerald Weapon.
NOTE - The Earth Harp is obtained by defeating Emerald WEAPON and can be
exchanged for a Master Magic, Master Command and Master Summon
Materia. The Desert Rose is obtained by defeating Ruby WEAPON and can
be exchanged for a Gold Chocobo.
LUCRECIA'S CAVE
Put Vincent in your party and head over to the Gold Saucer Area. If you have
a Green, Black or Gold Chocobo then you can look for the enclosed waterfall
near Gongaga, if not then you'll have to look for it in your submarine. Enter
the cave and you'll learn about Vincent's past. Leave the cave and re-enter
after you've fought roughly 10 battles to receive the Death Penalty and
Chaos, Vincent's Ultimate Weapon and Lv 4 Limit Break.
BACK OF ITEM SHOP IN COSMO CANYON
If you haven't already grabbed the Full Cure Materia from the back of the
Item Shop then do so now, it can be found at the top of the far ladders on
the right past the Cosmo Flame. You can also find a pouch containing an
Elixir and a Guard Source here.
FLASHBACKS AT THE SHINRA MANSION
Head over to Nibelheim and make your way into the Shinra Mansion. Run down
the Hojo's laboratory to view some extra scenes involving Cloud and Zack.
FINAL HEAVEN
Head into Tifa's house in Nibelheim and play the following notes to obtain
Tifa's Lv 4 Limit Break, Final Heaven:
X, Sq, Tr, L1+Tr, L1+Sq, x, Sq, Tr, L1+X, O, X, Sq, X
VENUS GOSPEL
Head into Rocket Town and talk to the man standing outside the Item Shop 3
times to receive Cid's ultimate weapon, the Venus Gospel. Don't forget to
grab the Fourth Bracelet and Guard Source from the chests inside the Weapon
Shop and Item Shop.
TURTLE PARADISE NEWSLETTERS
If you had missed out on the Newsletter at the Shinra HQ the first time
round, and you managed to grab it the second time then now would be the time
to claim your reward - one of each of the Sources and a Megalixir. Head over
to the Turtle Paradise in Wutai.
DA-CHAO FIRE CAVERN
If you'd obtained the Leviathan Scales whilst you were in the Underwater
Reactor at Junon then you could put out the flames in the Fire Cavern in the
Da-chao Statue. This would bag you the Oritsuru, a weapon for Yuffie, and the
Steal As Well Materia. (I'm going to assume that you've done the Pagoda Side-
quest so I'm not even going to bother listing it.)
COSTA DEL SOL
If you haven't done so already, head over to the bar and talk to the man on
the left. Buy from him the Long Barrel R which is a weapon for Vincent that
has 255 Attack%, meaning he'll rarely miss (this means Deathblow). Also, If
you've sold one of your Alls you can buy the Villa for 300,000 gil.
ULTIMATE WEAPON
If you haven't already beaten him then head over to the large crater near
Junon, Ultimate should be waiting for you there. Ram into him to fight him,
after so many turns he'll flee from battle. You can then chase him all over
the map until finally he will rest at Cosmo Canyon, defeat him there to
receive Cloud's ultimate weapon, Ultima Weapon.
ANCIENT FOREST
You'll need to have either beaten Ultimate Weapon or obtained a Green, Black
or Gold Chocobo to be able to access the forest just east of Cosmo Canyon.
See section D2.10 J - Ancient Forest for the full walkthrough.
SUNKEN GELNIKA
If you haven't already visited the depths of despair then see section D2.10
M - The Sunken Gelnika for the full walkthrough.
CHOCOBO BREEDING
NOTE - If you haven't as yet bred a Gold Chocobo then take the time now to
make use of the W-Item glitch (unless you find it morally dis-
pleasing). Duplicate yourself 99 Sylkis Greens, and while you're at
it duplicate 99 Megalixirs aswell.
Here is the whole Chocobo Breeding process in 10 simple steps:
1) Catch 2 Great Chocobos from Mideel Area (alongside 1 or 2 Spirals) making
sure they are opposite sex.
2) Feed both of them enough Greens to max out their stats, then race them
both at the Chocobo Square until they are both A Class.
3) Head over to Bone Village and battle around until you fight the
Vlakorados, steal 3 x Carob Nuts from them.
4) Now mate the Great Chocobos using a Carob Nut. This should produce either
a Blue or Green Chocobo.
5) When they are ready to mate again, save the game and keep trying until you
get a Chocobo of opposite gender and breed.
6) Feed the Green and Blue Chocobos to max out their stats, then race them
both to A Class. Then mate them using a Carob Nut for a Black Chocobo.
7) Catch a Wonderful Chocobo from the Icicle Inn Area (alongside 1 or 2
Jumpings) making sure it's the opposite gender to the Black Chocobo.
8) Head over to Goblin Island (north of the Chocobo Ranch). Here you can
fight the Goblin, steal 1 x Zeio Nut from them.
9) Feed the Black and Wonderful Chocobos to max out their stats, then race
them both to S Class (if you can).
10) Now breed the Black and Wonderful Chocobo using the Zeio Nut and Hey'
Presto! A brand new chirping Gold Chocobo!
MATERIA CAVES
Once you have a Gold Chocobo you can head over to the Materia Cave near Wutai
for the Mime Materia, the Materia Cave near North Corel holds the HP<->MP
Materia, the Materia Cave near Mideel holds the Quadra Magic Materia and the
Round Island in the far north east corner of the map holds the Knights of
Round Materia.
ENEMY SKILL RE-CAP
Just in case you're missing a few here is a copy and paste from the earlier
sidequest section D2.05 K - Obtaining Every Enemy Skill Available:
1 MATRA MAGIC - CUSTOM SWEEPER - Midgar Area (Dirt Area only)
2 L4 SUICIDE - MU - Grasslands Area (near Chocobo Ranch)
3 CHOCOBUCKLE - CHOCOBO Lv 16 - Grasslands Area (near Chocobo Ranch)
4 BETA - MIDGAR ZOLOM - Marsh (near Chocobo Ranch)
5 FLAMETHROWER - ARK DRAGON - Mythril Mine (Northern caverns)
6 WHITE WIND - ZEMZELETT - Junon Area
7 BIG GUARD - BEACHPLUG - Gold Saucer Area (Beaches)
8 AQUALUNG - HARPY - Gold Saucer Area (Chocobo Tracks only)
9 FROG SONG - TOUCH ME - Gongaga Forests
10 ???? - JERSEY - Shinra Mansion (in Nibelheim)
11 DEATH FORCE - ADAMANTAIMAI - Wutai Beaches
12 MAGIC HAMMER - RAZOR WEED - Wutai Area
13 DEATH SENTENCE - BOUND FAT - Corral Valley (past Bone Village)
14 GOBLIN PUNCH - GOBLIN - Goblin Island
NOTE - All of the remaining 9 Enemy Skills are available at the Northern
Crater. If you're thinking 'But there's 24 Enemy Skills', then
that's because Trine isn't on this list, nor can it be learnt at the
North Crater.
GOLD SAUCER
Perhaps the longest of all things optional to complete, here is a re-cap on
everything there is to obtain from the Gold Saucer (always save the best till
last):
NOTE - If you haven't yet obtained all there is to obtain from the Battle
Square yet then I suggest waiting until you have obtained the final
few bits of Materia from the North Crater (i.e. Mega-All).
Speed Square - Flayer (Optional) - Score 5000+ on the rollercoaster
Battle Square - Enemy Lure Materia - 250 BP
Pre-emptive Materia - 1000 BP
Speed Plus Materia - 4000 BP
Omnislash - 32,000 BP
W-Summon Materia - 64,000 BP
Final Attack Materia - Bonus Round:
After you have obtained Omnislash, W-Summon and Ultima Weapon
(Omnislash must be learnt) you will be invited to fight in an
optional battle. Defeating this will net you the Final Attack
Materia. Omnislash must be learned.
Chocobo Square - Enemy Away Materia
Sneak Attack Materia
Winning 19 races with the same Chocobo will net you the Sprint Shoes,
Precious Watch, Cat's Bell, Chocobracelet and Counter Attack Materia.
Also, try to win as many Counter Attacks and Magic Counters as you
can.
Wonder Square - Gil Plus Materia - 1000BP
EXP Plus Materia - 2000BP
You should now be ready to finish the game! Note that you can descend pretty
far down into the crater before hitting the point of no return, and you can
rest assured that I'll make you aware of that point before you get to it.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Save Crystal, Guard Source x 3, Mind Source x2, Magic Source,
Elixir, Power Source x 2, HP Absorb Materia, Megalixir, Hero Drink
NOTE - Aside from the trophy related side-quests (reach Lv 99, obtain
99,999,99 gil etc.) the ONLY optional quests that the game has left
to offer is the Emerald and Ruby WEAPON quests. Technically speaking,
as far as super-mega bosses go they aren't that hard to defeat, they
just require A LOT of preparation. More on that to come.
Before descending you are going to want to set up a party, and this time
you don't have a say in who you bring. You HAVE to bring along Cait Sith and
Barret. The reason being is that we'll be able to (legitimately) duplicate
some of the items that are obtainable down below, but to do this we must have
certain players 'not' in our party. It'll make more sense later on, just
trust me for now, my set-up is as follows:
1) Cloud - Lv 61 (Front)
Ragnarok - Elemental=Typoon, Enemy Skill, Double Cut, MP Turbo=KOTR
Dragon Armlet - All=Restore, Sneak Attack=Mug, EXP Plus, HP Plus
Safety Bit
2) Barret - Lv 55 (Back)
Enemy Skill, Manipulate
Max Ray - Elemental=Alexander, Steal as well=Deathblow,
Wizard Bracelet - Added Effect=Destruct, Added Cut=Deathblow, Morph,
Ribbon Sense, Luck Plus, HP Plus
3) Cait Sith - Lv 54 (Front)
Magic Counter, Enemy Skill, Enemy Skill
Starlight Phone - Elemental=Choco/Mog, Final Attack=Revive, Quadra Magic,
Mystile - Mime, Mug, W-Item, Slash-All, Speed Plus, HP Plus
Safety Bit
NOTES - Make sure to have two identical Enemy Skills equipped to one
character. If one Enemy Skill has learned a move that the other
hasn't, then the skill won't be learned.
- Quadra Magic can be a pain to master 2 copies of, so I suggest
equipping it now for the AP. Same goes for KOTR (Knights of The
Round), and Magic Counter (if you were able to obtain one from the
Gold Saucer).
Before heading down the rope ladder, head into operations to restore your
HP/MP and save. To access the North Crater you must hover the Highwind over
it and press cancel to descend into the realms of insanity.
Once you've climbed down the rope ladder, head south. When prompted to,
choose 'let's go' to descend into the crater. In the next screen, you could
head through then opening to return to the Highwind if you wanted to,
otherwise open the chest for the [SAVE CRYSTAL].
NOTES - The Save Crystal can be used anywhere within the North Crater to
create a save point in a location of your desire. It can only be used
once, and I strongly recommend using it near the screen where you
encounter the Magic Pots and Movers. I'll explain why shortly.
- The Save Crystal can be duplicated using an exploit, see section
E.18 for more info.
Now make your way anti-clockwise until you come to a chest containing a
[GUARD SOURCE]. Keep proceeding downwards until you come to the next screen
(don't forget to manipulate the Dark Dragon to learn Dragon Force and Laser,
and the Parasite to learn L5 Death and Magic Breath).
Head right first and keep dropping down until you reach a chest containing a
[GUARD SOURCE]. Then drop down even further for a [MIND SOURCE].
Now make your way left and climb up the ridges to reach the visible chest
containing a [MAGIC SOURCE]. Keep heading up for two more chests, one
containing an [ELIXIR] and the other a [POWER SOURCE].
Notice the blue orb embedded into the rocks? Before jumping down from the
Power Source chest run behind the rocks to grab the [HP ABSORB MATERIA]. Now
you can descend to the next screen (it's quicker to climb back up and head to
the right).
Drop down from the ledge then head to the right. Drop down to reach a chest
containing a [MIND SOURCE]. Then inch to the right, but before dropping down
jump up to the left. Follow the path to drop down to the other side, then
enter into the cave to find a chest containing a [MEGALIXIR].
Back out of the cave and drop down on the left. Then head to the right to
open the chest containing a [HERO DRINK].
Now head into the cave and open the visible chest for a [GUARD SOURCE]. Then
head upwards and enter the hole you see to find a chest containing a [POWER
SOURCE]. Now head out of the northern exit.
Head over to the right and drop down twice. Go through the opening to enter
the cave once more, then head south through the opening. Keep dropping down
until you come to the next screen, which will be a meeting point for you and
your buddies.
We have now come to the infamous left & right fork option of the North
Crater. It is here that you will have the choice to send your squad in
different directions, and as your teammates go off in their respective
directions they will pick up various items for you long the way.
NOTE - I have always used my Save Crystal here when playing as a kid. *DO
NOT* I repeat *DO NOT* use it here.
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - THE {LEFT AND RIGHT FORK} [
] [
] You now have three paths to choose from, the right path, the upper-left [
] path and the lower-left path. You also have to choose which path to send [
] your teammates on, and depending on which route you sent them on will [
] depend on the items that they obtain, which can then be duplicated. The [
] results are as follows: [
] [
] NOTES - If you travel the same route that you send a teammate on then [
] that teammate will not collect any items on that route for you, [
] meaning you cannot duplicate that item. [
] [
] - If you send Yuffie on her own, then she will not hand over any [
] Materia to you that she found. Always send her with someone else. [

] | | | | | | [
] | Vincent | Megalixir | Magic Source |*Mega All Materia | L-Left | [
] |___________|_____________|_________________|__________________|_________| [
] [
] The main problem here is Vincent. You're going to have to make a choice on [
] whether you want to lose a duplicate of the Mega All Materia, the Imperial [
] Guard or the Mystile. [
] [
] Mega All - This will make nearly very attack you perform hit every enemy, [
] including Deathblow, Morph even your basic attacks! But to be [
] honest, as long as you have one other person with Slash-All and [
] the other with Mime, you don't really need to duplicate this [
] item, especially seeing as you can master it for a second and [
] third copy. [
] [
] Imperial Guard - This piece of armour has the highest defence in the game [
] to have 6 Materia slots, and as such is definitely worth [
] getting a second and third copy now (assuming you [
] obtained your first copy by fighting the CMD. Grand Horn [
] earlier on at the Fort Condor Huge Materia mission). [
] [
] Mystile - Regarded as the best piece of armour in the game, this little [
] beauty gives you amazing Defence% and Magic Def%, meaning the [
] enemies will have a very difficult time attacking you. Make sure [
] to send Tifa right and to not travel that way yourself. [
] [
] So to conclude you're going to want to send your characters as follows: [
] [
] Tifa - Right - Mystile [
] Red XIII - Upper-Left - Shield Materia [
] Yuffie - Upper-Left - Counter Materia [
] Cid - Upper-Left - Imperial Guard [
] Vincent - Upper-Left - Magic Source [
] [
] And then you're going to want to travel the lower right path yourself with [
] Barret and Cait Sith. [
] [
] NOTE - If you were to travel along the right path then anyone you sent [
] left would have a 50% chance of taking the upper-left or lower- [
] left path. [
] [
] If you're feeling incredibly brave you could send Barret and Cait Sith [
] with Tifa along the right path and then travel alone for an extra Guard [
] Source and Elixir, but c'mon, it's really not that worth it. Also, make [
] sure not to progress past a certain point up ahead as all of the chests [
] will open and you'll lose the ability to duplicate the items. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
So, after sending Tifa right and after everyone else left head to the left
path yourself. Then send everyone else on the upper path leaving Cloud,
Barret and Cait Sith on the lower path.
NOTES - If you are playing on the Steam/PS4 version then a small easter egg
will occur when you create your save point in this cavern (the room
with the second fork). The area will be titled as 'Secret Cow Level'
in the menus, which is a reference to the game Diablo. I advise on
saving your Save Crystal for a little later.
- I had to mention this. A very funny post left by Silver_Dragon_ on
GameFaq message boards reads:
Cloud: �Let's split up into 2 teams. Team 1 will consist of myself,
Barret, Red XIII, Yuffie, Cait Sith, Vincent and Cid.
Team 2 will consist of... Tifa.� lol

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| The Master Tonberry has a move called Everyone's Grudge which will |
| multiply the total amount of kills its target has by 10 and will attack |
| for that amount of damage, which he will only use as a counter attack if |
| he has been attacked twice in one turn. If you wanted a few Guard Sources |
| and/or Ribbons then equip Morph. These enemies can be fought in every area |
| on the upper and lower left-paths apart from the two 'swampy' areas on the |
| upper-left route. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Elixir, Remedy, X-Potion x 2, Turbo Ether x 2, Vaccine, Magic
Counter Materia, Mega All Materia, Speed Source
After jumping down the rocks head over to the right to pick up a chest
containing an [ELIXIR]. Then head over to the left for a chest containing a
[REMEDY], and finally search the third chest at the bottom of the screen to
find an [X-POTION] inside. Now head south to the next screen.
Run straight down to jump off at the end of the raised circular platform to
land to the right of the chest containing a [TURBO ETHER]. If you jumped off
early and landed above the chest then you can make your way round to the
chest following the right path, otherwise head to the right for another chest
holding a [VACCINE].
Now head over to the Lifestream waterfall, and on the very left you should
just be able to make out the [MAGIC COUNTER MATERIA], although it is very
difficult to spot. GRAB THAT MATERIA! and start Leveling it up straight sway!
Follow the path to the next screen, then jump down do grab an [X-POTION].
Keep following the path round until you grab the chest containing a [TURBO
ETHER] (who puts all the chests down here anyway?).
For this next bit you have to time when you press confirm in order to GRAB
THAT MATERIA! the [MEGA ALL MATERIA] that you see floating in front of the
Lifestream waterfall. Just before you hear the first footstep sound effect,
press confirm. Once you've obtained it, pick up the chest on the left for a
[SPEED SOURCE].
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - MEGA ALL MATERIA [
] [
] Attack becomes Slash-All whilst Mug/Steal, Sense, Manipulate, Morph and [
] Deathblow will now hit all targets. Also, every magic spell will now hit [
] all targets so long as the magic spell is compatible with All. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
I swapped Barret's Sense for the Mega All, this really is one of the best
Materias in the game. Now head through to the next screen and *STOP! TURN
AROUND* and head back the way you came until you come to the second fork,
then take the upper-left path saving along the way.
NOTES - If you were to have headed clockwise around the Bottom of the
Northern Cave area you would have triggered your allies to join you.
This would subsequently remove the items from the field, but only
after you've received the items from them, and only the item that
they give you is removed, as you receive it.
- You must have entered into this final bottom screen (where the music
stops) before making your way back up.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--Items - Magic Source, Remedy, Vaccine, Shield Materia, Imperial Guard, Hero
Drink, W-Magic Materia, Counter Materia
NOTE - If you hadn't visited the screen at the bottom of the crater then you
will not be allowed to visit the upper-left area. Cloud will simply
say �Cid will handle this� (or whichever party member you sent down
that path).
It's in these first two screens that you'll be spending a fair amount of
time grinding in. Just remember to save every few battles or so, there's
nothing worse than having a Magic pot steal one your most valuable weapons,
forcing you to re-load your previous save, unless of course you've been
saving regularly. Note that you cannot PHS whilst in the North Crater.
NOTE - I advise on using your Save Crystal in the first screen, near the
entrance. Save into new slot also, just in case you sent somebody the
wrong way by mistake.
First head right and jump over to the visible chest for a [MAGIC SOURCE],
then head to the left and jump up to the slightly raised area. As you run
north you'll dive into the water, emerging on the pathway to the right.
follow the path round to the left for a chest containing a [REMEDY].
Now make your way east to the next screen. As you enter, head north west
first to the far chest containing a [VACCINE]. Then head round to the rock
face and GRAB THAT MATERIA!, the [SHIELD MATERIA] that you see sitting there.
>From the rack face, head south west to dive into the water again, you will
emerge at the nearest chest which contains the amazing [IMPERIAL GUARD]. Dive
back into the water then climb the rock face to the top.
Now head back to the middle fork this time heading right to a chest
containing a [HERO DRINK]. Then make your way north and east to the next
screen.
Just to the north beneath the undergrowth you should be able to make out the
purple orb, this is the [W-MAGIC MATERIA]. Now head to the left but before
going through the opening, head down to the centre of the glowing Lifestream
to pick up the [COUNTER MATERIA]. This is the last piece of Materia in the
game. GRAB THAT LAST MATERIA! You still have the 'Master Materia' to obtain,
but they are not obtained through conventional means; more to follow.
NOTE - (Command) Counter is a support Materia that can be linked with moves
such as Mug, Morph, Deathblow etc. I suggest equipping with Deathblow
right away.
You don't need to head through the opening on the left as it will lead down
to the bottom of the Northern Cave area, so instead turn around and start
making your way back to the initial fork, this time taking the right path
(saving along the way).

NOTE - Ok, so I've read a few reports saying that the Dragon Zombie will
very un-occasionally use Pandora's Box a second time, I've also read
reports saying that it's never used it because he was defeated too
quickly on the first encounter, and they were never able to complete
their Enemy Skill Materia on that play-through. These are all false;
it is scripted into the enemy AI for Pandora's Box to be used as a
finishing move *every time you encounter it*, UNLESS the 'Pandora's
Box' flag is highlighted. This flag is highlighted automatically
after the move is cast the first time, thereby making it impossible
to be used again.
--Items - Mystile, Elixir, Speed Source, Tetra Element, Megalixir x 2,
Luck Source
First make your way down the spiralling path to the next screen. When
prompted, jump down to the landing below. First open the chest on your left
for the [MYSTILE], then grab the [ELIXIR] on the right. I suggest equipping
the Mystile straight way.
Keep spiralling your way down to the next screen to grab the visible chest
containing a [SPEED SOURCE] (it seems as though the North Crater is the
'source' for Sources, aside from the Gelnika that is). Now head over south
east for a chest containing the [TETRA ELEMENT]. Tetra Elements can also be
morphed from the Cactuer on an island south of Cosmo Canyon.
Now head north until you come to a chest containing a [MEGALIXIR].
Then run south slightly, and head all the way west to reach another chest
containing a another [MEGALIXIR], then make your way back east and then north
to the next screen.
NOTE - There should only be four enemies left to obtain Enemy Skills from,
see the enemy listings above. By the time you reach the 'meeting
point' in the bottom screen you should have obtained all Enemy Skills!
Make your way down the huge bone structure until you come to the bottom of
the northern cave area once more. As you make your way round, pick up the
[LUCK SOURCE] from the chest. You've now finished collecting all the items
from the North Crater, hoo-rah! Head clockwise around the opening to trigger
your comrades to appear.
NOTE - Interesting fact, if you had decided to leave the crater and return
to the Highwind prior to reaching the final screen, when you returned
to the left and right fork, you would be able to re-select which
paths you wanted to send everyone down. If however you'd decided to
return to the Highwind *after* you'd reach the final screen (but
before triggering everyone's appearance), then it would mess with the
games mechanics slightly. When you did triggered everyone's
appearance, the game would think that Cloud has travelled the right
path, and sent everyone else left. You would then receive an item
from each character (even the ones that travelled with you), and each
item would have a 50/50 chance of being an item from the upper left
path or the lower left path, regardless of which path you initially
sent them down.
Now is the time to collect all of your duplicated items. If you've done
everything correctly then you can talk to:
Cid for the Imperial Guard
Tifa for the Mystile (although it'll read 'Mythril')
Red XIII for the Shield Materia
Vincent for the Magic Source &
Yuffie for the Counter Materia (although she'll be very reluctant to hand
it over)
**DO NOT CONTINUE. YOU ARE NOW AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN**
NOTE - A glitch would have occurred if you had sent Cait Sith down the lower-
left path; he would have handed over an X-Potion, although the Turbo
Ether would have been removed from the field.
You are now going to want to make the long ascent out of the North Crater so
that you can PHS. The upcoming boss battle will be very unique in the sense
that you will be able to use more than one party whilst fighting it, so
you're going to want to set-up everyone beforehand (although you will get
another opportunity to later on, it's just easier to do it this way. Besides,
I'm itching to get Cait Sith out of my party now).
NOTE - You actually have a choice to make. You can either finish the game
now at a level where Sephiroth will still pose a challenge, THEN you
can re-load your save to finish grinding for 99,999,999 gil, raising
Cloud to level 99 and defeating Emerald and Ruby WEAPON. OR you can
skip down to section D3.04 - The Final Grind now to do all the above
and then come back to finish the game when you will be ridiculously
over-powered, but for the sake of continuity I'd advise finishing the
game now.

| {D3.03} - The Final Battle |
| |
| ITEMS: None |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D3.03 A - Getting Set-Up
Before heading down to face Sephiroth please bear in mind the following:
There are four boss battles in total, and the battle strategies that you
adopted in the first fight will directly affect the difficulty of the
following fights. Your party's average level and whether or not Yuffie and
Vincent have been recruited also play a part in the difficulty.
Battle 1 - Jenova-Synthesis
Battle 2 - Bizarro-Sephiroth
Battle 3 - Safer-Sephiroth
Battle 4 - Sephiroth
Bizarro Sephiroth will either be fought with one, two or three parties, and
the more parties you fight with, the tougher the challenge will be. The
following conditions will determine how many parties are chosen:
If ANY one of the following occurs then it'll be a ONE party battle:
- Jenova-Synthesis managed 13 turns before she activated the Ultima countdown.
- The lowest levelled player is level 34 or lower.
- The average level is level 53 or lower (add up every characters level then
divide by the amount of characters, rounded down).
NOTE - Aeris's level does not factor into any of these figures, nor will
Yuffie's and/or Vincent's had you not obtained them.
If you DON'T meet the criteria for a one party battle but ANY one of the
following occurs then it'll be a TWO party battle:
- You have failed to obtain either Yuffie or Vincent (or both).
- The lowest levelled player is level 44 or lower.
- The average level is level 67 or lower.
All of the following must occur for it to be a three party battle:
- Yuffie and Vincent must have been obtained
- Jenova-Synthesis managed 12 turns or less before she activated the Ultima
countdown.
- The lowest levelled player is level 45 or higher.
- The average level is level 68 or higher.
I worked out that my average level was 61 at this stage, so I decided to
place my lowest levelled characters in my party and train until my average
level was 68 seeing as I enjoy the more difficult version of Bizarro-
Sephiroth. Magic Pots, Master Tonberrys, Dark Dragons, Scissors and Dragon
Zombies all give out high amounts of EXP, don't forget to equip the EXP Plus
Materia also.
NOTE - It is completely optional whether or not you train to get your
average level up to 68 or not, just bear in mind that if you are
going to train then you're going to want to start to think about
which Materias you want mastering. Concentrate on the following:
Revive (Lv 2) x 3 | Mime x 3*
Added Effect x 3 | Morph x 3*
Quadra Magic (Lv 5) x 2* | Counter Attack (Lv 5) x 9
Final Attack (Lv 5) x 3 | Hades x 3
Magic Counter (Lv 5) x 3* | HP Plus (Lv 5) x 8
Sneak Attack (Lv 5) x 3 | Mega All (Lv 5) x 3
Counter (Lv 5) x 3 | Knights of Round (Lv 5) x 1*
* = Equip on a triple growth weapon.
I'll go into more detail as to the exact reasons for the above
choices a little later on, for now don't be afraid to use Rune
Armlets if you really want some decent AP!
Once I had met the criteria for a three party battle I set my three teams up
as follows (you may need to head over to Fort Condor to buy a few pieces of
Materia):
TEAM 1:
1) Cloud - Lv 77 (Front)
Enemy Skill, Double Cut
Ultima Weapon - All=Restore, Steal as Well=Deathblow, Sneak Attack=Mug,
Mystile - Counter=Deathblow, Counter Attack, Magic Plus,
Safety Bit HP Plus, MP Plus
2) Yuffie - Lv 65 (Back)
Speed Plus, HP Plus
Conformer - Added Cut=Deathblow, Enemy Skill, Mime, EXP Plus, Luck Plus,
Mystile - Added Effect=Odin, Counter=Deathblow, Counter Attack,
Champion Belt Mega All
3) Cid - Lv 68 (Front)
Venus Gospel - All=Time, All=Heal, Final Attack=Revive, MP Turbo=Comet,
Imperial Guard - Added Effect=Destruct, Slash-All, HP Plus, Bahamut ZERO,
Ribbon Knights of Round
TEAM 2:
1) Barret - Lv 68 (Back)
HP Plus, Neo Bahamut
Missing Score - All=Barrier, HP Absorb=Deathblow, W-Item, Counter Attack,
Ziedrich -
Champion Belt
2) Tifa - Lv 67 (Back)
W-Summon, Bahamut ZERO, Hades
Premium Heart - HP Absorb=Ultima, Full Cure, Revive, Enemy Skill,
Mystile - Magic Counter=Contain, Long Range, Magic Plus, HP Plus,
Ribbon MP Plus
3) Red XIII - Lv 63 (Front)
HP Plus
Limited Moon - All=Restore, All=Ice, Quadra Magic=Ice, Deathblow,
Ziedrich -
Sprint Shoes
TEAM 3:
1) Vincent - Lv 64 (Back)
HP Plus, Phoenix
Death Penalty - All=Restore, Enemy Skill, Deathblow, Mug, Counter Attack,
Ziedrich -
Ribbon
2) Cait Sith - Lv 67 (Front)
Typoon, Alexander
HP Shout - All=Restore, Revive, Deathblow, Counter Attack, MP Plus,
Imperial Guard - Elemental=Gravity, All=Lightning,
Sprint Shoes Magic Counter=Lightning
NOTE - Don't forget to use your Sources as appropriate.
This set-up should see you back through the North Crater and all 4 bosses
without having to change anything. You may want to change to normal growth
weapons for your descent, but any AP gained after the save point will be
lost, so switch back to your ultimate weapons after saving.

--Boss - Jenova-Synthesis Lv 61
Make your way back down to the bottom of the northern cave, when prompted
choose 'Let's get going' to head past the point of no return. After an amount
of dialogue you'll find yourself jumping down a series of floating platforms.
Every time you jump on a platform you will have a 30% chance of fighting an
enemy, and there are 3 enemies to fight. The chance of fighting each enemy is
as follows:
1 x Iron Man - 50%
1 x Dragon Zombie - 40%
1 x Allemagne - 10%
There are 13 platforms in total, once you have reached the bottom remember to
use a Megalixir then jump to the final landing. Here you will be attacked by
Jenova-Synthesis.

* an easy battle. *
* *
* NOTES - If you cast Knights of the Round then you will grant Bizarro- *
* Sephiroth an additional 60,000HP and Safer-Sephiroth an *
* additional 80,000HP! If you fancy a challenge, then by all means *
* use KOTR to finish Jenova-Synthesis off in one hit, making the *
* next two boss battles that much harder. *
* *
* - If you fail to drain Jenova's HP to 15,000 within 13 turns *
* (meaning she won't have started the countdown) then you will be *
* forced to go into the next boss battle with one party only. *
* *
* - The Left and Right arm do not have their own ATB; all of the *
* attacks come from Jenova herself. *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
After Jenova-Synthesis has been defeated you'll sink further into the planet.

--D3.03 C - Bizarro
--Boss - Bizarro-Sephiroth Lv 61, Safer-Sephiroth Lv 87, Sephiroth Lv 50
After Sephiroth has decided to show himself, you will be given the option
of choosing your party/ies. If you've followed my guide then you should be
able to pick three parties, if not you'll (possibly) only be able to pick
just one or two.
Just to re-cap, my parties were Cloud Yuffie & Cid, and then Barret Tifa and
Red XIII, and lastly Vincent and Cait Sith.
NOTES - When battling with two or three parties the battle's POV will change
from one party to the next. When this happens, Bizarro-Sephiroth's HP
status will be saved for that party, then a fully replenished
Sephiroth will face the other teams but with varying stats to the
first.
- For every player at Lv 99, Bizarro's health will increase by a fixed
amount. This amount may vary depending on how many parties and which
team of that party you are currently fighting with. The following
information should clarify everything:
_________ _________________ __________________________

at level 99 | | Team 1 . Team 2 | Team 1 . Team 2 . Team 3 |

| Left Magic | 500 | 500 . 500 | 1000 . 750 . 750 |
|_______________|_________|________.________|________.________.________|
The Main Body will also receive an additional 60,000 HP (Team 1 only) if
Knights if the Round was used on Jenova-Synthesis, giving Bizarro Sephiroth a
minimum total HP of 60,000 and a maximum total HP of 208,000.
When using various teams, the Right Magic/Left Magic may change to Right
Shoulder/Right Arm or Left Shoulder/Left Arm respectively, depending on the
POV of the team.

* Before you can damage the Main Body you need to take out the Core which *

* (but not impossible). You can destroy the Head if you want to, but it'll *
* just rejuvenate itself eventually. Slash-All, Summons, Comet2, Pandora's *

* impossible). You can destroy the Head if you want to, but it'll just *
* rejuvenate itself eventually. Slash-All, Summons, Comet2, Pandora's Box *
* and Ultima work very well here, the battle will end when the Main Body is *
* destroyed. *

* Again, a more complicated strategy is required when using three parties as *
* opposed to one or two party/ies. To begin with, start damaging the Left *
* and Right Magic (D & E), then switch over to the other team when prompted. *
* You must then defeat the Cores on the outer sides using your back up *
* parties. To do that you must first defeat the Shoulder and Arm to remove *
* the Core's invulnerability. Once the Core has been destroyed for the 2nd *
* party switch to the 3rd party to destroy the Shoulder and Arm there, and *
* then destroy the Core (don't switch to party 3 until the core for party 2 *
* has been destroyed). Once the two 'outer' Cores have been destroyed you *
* can then switch back to Cloud's party to destroy the third and final Core *
* (not before taking out the Left and Right Magic), thus enabling you to *
* damage the Main Body with team 1. *
* *
* The Core is required to be defeated before you can start attacking the *
* Main Body as the Core will heal the Main Body every turn for roughly 7000 *
* HP, so trying to defeat the Main Body before the Core will be very *
* difficult (but not impossible). Just focus on big attacks whilst keeping *
* your Big Guard and HP topped up. You can destroy the Head if you want to, *
* but it'll just rejuvenate itself eventually. Slash-All, Summons, Comet2, *
* Pandora's Box and Ultima work very well here, the battle will end when the *
* Main Body is destroyed. *

Wow, that was by far the hardest boss of the game to try to have to explain.
the next boss should be far simpler, and will take place straight after this
one has finished.
Every character that is at level 99 will boost Safer-Sephiroth's HP by
30,000, aswell as Attack by 2, Defence by 20, Magic by 5 and Magic Defence by
16. Also, if Knights of the Round was used on Jenova-Synthesis then Safer's
HP will be boosted by an additional 80,000.
Lastly, every time that you were able to destroy the Head of Bizarro, Safer's
HP will be reduced by 100, up to a maximum of 24,900 HP. This gives Safer-
Sephiroth a range between 80,000 and 400,000 HP!
NOTE - This third battle is technically considered the final battle of the
game seeing as the fourth battle isn't really considered a battle as
such, but more of an ending. In other words, go all out on Safer-
Sephiroth and don't hold anything back!

* | SAFER-SEPHIROTH | | BOSS BATTLE: | 39 | *
* |____________________________________________| |______________|__________| *
* | | | *
* Safer's MP will replenish after every turn, | ---------Lv: | 87------ | *
* meaning it'll never deplete. Cast a Megalixir | -----MIN HP: | 80000--- | *
* to begin with if your players are beaten up | -----MAX HP: | 400000-- | *
* from the last battle, then cast Slow on Safer | ---------MP: | 680----- | *
* Sephiroth. Follow up with the usual dose of | ----NULLIFY: | GRV--ERT | *
* Big Guard, then use Reflect (or use a Mirror |_________________________| *
* if you have one) followed by Dragon Force *
* twice on every one. *
* *
* Whilst two people stay on the defensive for the first few turns, have one *
* person go on the offensive. This boss has a very predictable pattern which *
* it will repeat over and over again until the battle ends, making this *
* penultimate battle not so difficult: *
* *
* Turn 1: Alternates between Wall and DeSpell. He'll usually start by *
* casting Wall on himself, then on the next cycle he'll cast *
* DeSpell on your party. If he is under Slow then he will always *
* cast DeSpell on himself. *
* *
* Turn 2: If he used Wall on his previous turn then he'll use Shadow Flare. *
* If he used DeSpell on his previous turn then he'll use Deen. *
* *
* Turn 3: Physical Attack. *
* *
* Turn 4: He will become airborne, meaning only long-ranged players can *
* attack him. *
* *
* Turn 5: He will use Pale Horse. This will cause Sadness Frog & Small, *
* aswell as taking out roughly 2500HP. *
* *
* Turn 6: He will use Super Nova. This will cause Confusion Silence and *
* Slow, aswell as taking out 15/16th's of everyone's HP. *
* *
* Turn 7: If Safer's HP is above 25% then he will cast Break. *
* If Safer's HP is below 25% then he will cast Heartless Angel. *
* *
* Turn 8: He will land back on the ground, no longer being long-ranged. *
* *
* So you can use DeBarrier to void his Wall and then cast Slow on him *
* afterwards. I can�t stress this enough, keep your HP topped up as Shadow *
* Flare can wipe out one of you characters in one hit. Use your strongest *
* moves such as Bahamut ZERO, Comet2, Shadow Flare or just even 4xCut (or *
* 2xCut if you haven t unlocked it yet). *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
Once you have defeated Safer-Sephiroth you will be back at the base of the
North Crater. After watching some CGI you will find yourself in one final
battle with Sephiroth, and this battle is impossible to lose.

* begins Cloud's Limit gauge will gradually fill |______________|__________| *
* up completely, and even if you hadn't obtained *
* the Omnislash Limit Break for Cloud it will become available for this one *
* fight only. Enjoy killing Sephiroth! *
* *
* NOTES - If you hadn't previously unlocked the Omnislash Achievement *
* (Steam version) then it would pop now. Why did I put you through *
* all that trouble in the Battle Arena then you ask? Because you *
* needed Omnislash to enter into he 'Special Battle', which was *
* needed for the Final Attack Materia, which is needed for the *
* Materia Overlord Achievement (so there)! *
* *
* - If you'd decided to just stand there not using Omnislash, then *
* Sephiroth would use his Cut attack reducing Cloud's HP to *
* critical. After which, Cloud would counter killing Sephiroth in *
* one hit (regardless of whether you had Counter Attack equipped or *
* not). *

Congratulations, you have just completed Final Fantasy VII! It isn't over yet
however, there's still an amount of optional things to do (such as defeating
the WEAPONS). For now, just relax and enjoy the cinematics brought to you by
Hironobu Sakaguchi and co. and I'll reconvene with you once you've reloaded
your save in the North Crater.
NOTE - After the credits have finished rolling you will get an extra short
bit of footage which is worth hanging on for. When you get to the
shooting stars screen you can reset the game as this screen will
never end (newer versions will not have the 'never ending' screen, and
instead the game will reset).

!!WELCOME BACK!!
I plan to divide this final section into 5 sub-sections, but before doing
anything else I'd just like to quickly conclude the storyline:
NOTE - In the final scene with Red XIII, I'm sure the cliff side that they
all convened on was the exact same cliff where Zack had died...
The very final fight in the game appears to be a fight of the mind, there are
numerous things pointing towards this. After all, Sephiroth's main weapon
throughout the game was his will, remember he remained encapsulated within
the North Crater the entire time whilst creating copies of himself using only
the power of his mind (cast your own mind back to the quote from your first
visit to Wall Market - �It's started moving�, this was a reference to
Sephiroth's awakening). I believe that Cloud had destroyed what remained of
Sephiroth's psyche during that final fight, once he was defeated there was
nothing holding the White Materia back from activating Holy.
NOTE - I find it interesting to see blood on Sephiroth's face. So if blood
was acceptable on a Teen rated game in 1997, why then did Aeris shed
no blood when Sephiroth penetrated her with his long Masamune blade?
Maybe the Cetra can't shed blood, or maybe it wasn't the real Aeris,
it was just an Aeris-bot of which the Shinra had mass produced
thousands of on the down-low. Or more realistically, maybe the Dev's
had filled Disk 1 up with so much info that they just couldn't
squeeze that extra little bit of red-ness onto Sephiroth's sword?!?
Black Materia. Used for summoning the 'Ultimate Destruction Magic' (or
Meteor), which will cause mass destruction to the planet. White Materia. Used
for summoning 'Ultimate White Magic' (or Holy), which will save the planet
from Meteor, as well as anything else that the Planet deems to be 'bad' for
it. As Sephiroth killed Aeris she was seemingly praying, but what she was
actually doing was asking the planet to activate her White Magic. Just before
she died the Planet had received Aeris's prayer and activated the White
Materia, however Sephiroth's will was suppressing its effects, meaning that
Holy could not be summoned. That was just a re-cap of what you learned at the
Forgotten Capitol with Bugenhagen.
After Cloud had defeated Sephiroth's will, the White Materia was no longer
subdued and the power of Holy was released. This was the blue wave that you
saw destroy the Meteor's red tornadoes. Unfortunately, Meteor was already too
close to hitting the planet and Holy's power alone wasn't enough to defeat it
(not without gravely harming the Planet anyway). The thing that isn't clearly
explained to us is what takes place next. Aeris, although dead hasn't fully
returned to the planet yet, and sensing the Planets need for help she summons
the power of Lifestream to aid Holy. The Lifestream then pushed Meteor back
far enough for Holy to work its magic, thus destroying Meteor for good. What
remains of the White and Black Materia remains unknown, what is known is that
the planet decided to spare the humans and life on the planet continued.
NOTES - As explained in the film Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, when
Cloud defeated Sephiroth his remnants still remained within the
Lifestream, and as a result of Lifestream flooding the planet many
people got sick with a disease called Geostigma. Subsequently, the
Jenova DNA that was contained within the Geostigma was enough for a
second reunion to take place two years after the events of FF VII.
- Advent Children was crap, so don't waste your time on it. If you
want something to watch then check out Final Fantasy VII Last Order
which is a 25 minute manga-style film based on the events of the
Nibelheim Incident 5 years ago. Or even watch Crisis Core: Final
Fantasy VII Full Film [HD] if you have the time, it's a 2 and a half
hour film taken from the game Crisis Core.

| |
| For much easier methods for defeating the WEAPONS visit section E.16, or |

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first thing you're going to want to do is to ascend all the way to the
top of the crater so you can PHS and strip everybody down. Make sure to equip
everyone who isn't in your team with 8-slotted weapons and armour. If you're
not using the W-Item trick, then I highly suggest stocking up on a load of
Tents right about now.
Set up a party with Yuffie and Cid and then make your way to the swamp area
on the upper-left path. What we are mainly concentrating on here is preparing
for the Gelnika whilst loosely thinking about the WEAPON battles. Here is the
load-out I recommend starting out with:
1) Cloud - Lv 78 (Front)
Apocalypse - Quadra Magic, Sneak Attack, Magic Counter,
Rune Armlet - Mime, Counter Attack, Mega All, EXP Plus
Safety Bit
2) Yuffie - Lv 67 (Back)
Rising Sun - Final Attack=Revive, Added Effect=Hades
Rune Armlet - Magic Counter, Counter, Slash-All, Enemy Lure
Curse Ring
3) Cid - Lv 70 (Front)
Scimitar - Morph, Knights of the Round
Rune Armlet - Added Cut, Counter, Double Cut, Counter Attack
Ribbon
This load-out should make it so you can still defend yourself adequately in
battle whilst also Leveling up the Materia necessary for becoming a God. Note
that Knights of the Round must stay in your load out as it requires by far
the most amount of AP to master - 500,000!
NOTES - Ruby and Emerald WEAPON will each give 50,000 AP. Combine that with
Triple Growth weapons and you're talking 300,000 AP!
- Go into Config and turn the Battle Speed up all the way.
Your main goal is to obtain the following before heading out of the North
Crater:
3 x Morph
1 x Sneak Attack (Mastered)
1 x Counter (Mastered)
2 x Mime
If you wanted to master 3 Morphs for a fourth copy so that you can pair one
with Steal as well then that would be fine (the first two are being paired
with 2 Sneak Attacks, and third is being paired with Counter). Also, aim to
get three Added Effects with Hades as they are awesome. You cannot use
Counter Attacks in the Gelnika as it will ruin your Morphing chances so try
to Master a few now, you're eventually going to want 9 of them mastered in
total (for Emerald). 3 Final Attacks with 3 Revives should be on your to-get
list, and also 2 mastered Enemy Lures (as they will stack).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Watch your Elixir count! There's nothing worse than being
in a battle with the Magic Pots with no Elixirs; they'll
WORD OF WARNING! steal from you then they'll run away, so your only option
would be to flee yourself before they've stolen your most
valuable weapon!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - EXTENDED W-ITEM TRICK (works on PS4 version) [
] [
] While the W-Item trick is widely known about, not a great deal of folk are [
] aware of some of the more practical uses of how it can work; I wasn't when [
] I first wrote this portion of the guide, so I've include it now as an [
] addition. I'm now going to breakdown exactly how to use the Extended [
] W-Item trick to explain how to duplicate yourself every type of Source [
] MUCH quicker than the 'Sunken Gelnika' method: [
] [
] First make sure that you have *one* expendable item at the top of the [
] inventory list (such as a Potion), then make sure that you have 0 of [
] the item you wish to duplicate (say, a Power Source). Depending on the [
] enemy formation, you may have a few variations to set-up for. Set the [
] ATB to wait. [
] [
] MULTIPLE GROUPS OF ENEMIES (Power, Guard, Speed and Luck Source) [
] [
] Set Yuffie up with Morph, Cloud with Manipulate and player 3 with W-Item. [
] When you engage the enemy, make sure to kill off all but 2 of them, and [
] Manipulate one of them. Now have Yuffie cast Morph. Before the move is [
] executed, have player 3 use W-Item, and use the single Potion as your [
] first item. Now wait for the enemy to be Morphed into the Source. [
] [
] If done correctly, the Source will fill the same inventory slot that was [
] occupied by the Potion. You can now select and cancel another item, [
] thereby duplicating the Power Sources up to 99. [
] [
] - Power Source - Screamer, Mt Nibel, Screen with the Reactor [
] - Guard Source - Spiral, Mideel Area, Dirt tracks [
] - Speed Source - Poodler, Sunken Gelnika, Hallway [
] - Luck Source - Poodler, Sunken Gelnika, Hallway [
] [
] INDIVIDUAL ENEMY (Mind Source) [
] [
] As before, make sure to have *one* expendable item at the top of the [
] inventory list, and to have 0 of the item you wish to duplicate. Set Cloud [
] up with Final Attack=Revive and Quadra Magic=Revive. Set Yuffie up with [
] Final Attack=Morph, and lastly set player 3 up with W-Item. *MAKE SURE* [
] that Yuffie is player 1 (at the top) so that she uses Morph before Cloud [
] uses Life2. Remember to equip Enemy Skill, Cure and to have some Phoenix [
] Downs. [
] [
] Enter into battle with the Serpent. Make sure that Cloud's and Yuffie's HP [
] are in critical, then start bringing the Serpent's HP down using L4 [
] Suicide; it is more likely to cast Aqualung that way. The idea is to have [
] Cloud and Yuffie KO'd at the same time. Yuffie will then retaliate by [
] Morphing the Serpent into a Mind Source, and Cloud will cast Life2 four [
] times. [
] [
] Prior to Yuffie using Morph, make sure that player 3 is sitting in the [
] W-Item screen with the Potion 'used', awaiting input of the second item. [
] If done correctly, the Potion's inventory slot will be filled with the [
] Mind Source, you will then have time to dupe yourself 50 of them while [
] Cloud casts Life2. [
] [
] The Serpent's attacks are dependent on your party's average current HP and [
] the Serpents Current HP. If the Serpent's current HP is: [
] [
] - 0% - 20% of party's current HP, Dragon Dance is used. [
] - 21% - 40% of party's current HP, Huge Tidal Wave is used. [
] - 41% - 80% of party's current HP, Aqualung is used. [
] - 81% - 100% of party's current HP, Viper Breath is used. [
] [
] Using L4 Suicide and Cure, you should be able to regulate the Serpent's HP [
] until it uses Aqualung. [
] [
] NOTES - If you happen to be playing on a Playstation console, then you [
] can simply open the lid, thereby not allowing the battle to [
] finish. This way you can dupe the Source without having to go [
] through the Final Attack method. [
] [
] - Each additional Quadra Magic that you pair with Revive gives [
] Cloud *one* additional casting, for a maximum of 8; so 5 Quadra [
] Magics paired with Revive would enable Cloud to cast Revive 8 [
] times, which would be enough to gain 99 Mind Sources in a single [
] battle. [
] [
] BATTLE ARENA (Magic Source) [
] [
] The only way to encounter a 'group' of enemies that can be morphed into a [
] Magic Source is at the Battle Square - The 8 eye. These can be encountered [
] in round 3, and you have a 1/4 chance of fighting them. For this battle [
] you must set Yuffie up with (mastered) Counter=Morph. It is imperative [
] that you cast Stop, Sleep or Paralyzed on one of the 8 Eyes. When the [
] other attacks, select the single Potion then wait for Yuffie to counter [
] with Morph. So long as the other 8 Eye cannot attack, you will be able to [
] dupe yourself 99 Magic Sources. Don't equip Mega All, do equip Seal and [
] (obviously) W-Item. [
] [
] To read up on a few more uses for the Extended W-Item Trick, such as [
] duplicating Weapons, Armour and Accessories, use QSI Link [Extended W-Item [
] Trick]. [
]____________________________________________________________________________[
If you're not keen on making use of exploits, and you'd rather obtain your
Sources the old fashioned way, then continue reading. If you're not bothered
about Source farming in the slightest then skip to section D3.04 C.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D3.04 B - The Sunken Gelnika Re-visited
Before making you way to your sub I suggest making a stop at the reactor in
Gongaga to fight the Heavy Tank. This is (in my opinion) the easiest way to
obtain Power Sources (without using exploits) and will help you get Yuffie's
base damage to 9999 on her attacks. I obtained 50 of them and gave every
single one of them to her. Alternatively you can use the aforementioned
Extended W-Item trick to duplicate them using the Screamers in Mt. Nibel.
Here's a tip: With your Gold Chocobo on board your Highwind, land the
aircraft near the Desert surrounding the Gold Saucer. Then, ride your Gold
Chocobo over to your sub, then navigate the sub to the dock near the Gold
Saucer. Now go and retrieve your Gold Chocobo; you've now 'parked' your sub
much closer to the Sunken Gelnika!
I advise a set-up similar to the following: (M) = Master
1) Cloud - Lv 82 (Front)
Apocalypse - Quadra Magic, Final Attack, Magic Counter
Rune Armlet - Added Effect, Mime, EXP Plus, Hades
Ribbon
2) Yuffie - Lv 69 (Back)
Enemy Lure(M), Enemy Lure(M), HP PLus(M)
Conformer - Sneak Attack(M)=Morph(M), Counter(M)=Morph(M), Enemy Skill,
Mystile - Sneak Attack=Morph, MP Turbo=Ultima, Contain, Revive,
Ribbon Mega All
3) Cid - Lv 73 (Front)
Scimitar - Added Cut=Knights of Round
Rune Armlet - Comet, Magic Counter, Counter, Double Cut
Ribbon
NOTES - This set-up will allow you to occasionally Morph your enemy twice
from the outset, which will make the Gelnika a walk in the park!
- Steam users - it's time to start mastering all of our Materia for
the Materia Overlord Achievement, so you're going to want to start
working your way down your Materia list soon.
- PS4 users you have a choice - you can obtain the Transcendant
Convoker Trophy (obtain the Master Summon Materia) by defeating
Emerald WEAPON, then trading the item it gives you for the Master
Materia, so you don't *have* to master one of every Materia. I would
however advise considering mastering your Materia to obtain multiple
sets of Master Materia as to become a God.
- TAKE NOTE of the requirement list found the next section, D3.04 C.
Now make your way over to your sub and SAVE BEFORE SUBMERGING. You don't want
to lose all of those Power Sources do you? Avoiding Emerald, make your way
over to the Sunken Gelnika.
NOTE - The amount of time you spend in the Gelnika is entirely up to you and
it isn't at all necessary to max out your stats in order to defeat
the WEAPONs; if you really don't want to spend too long down there
then that's fine. Remember that if you get bored then you can
alternate between training at the North Crater and the Gelnika
(see the section below), and you can always make use of the Extended
W-Item Trick.
How you distribute your Sources is up to you, but try to raise everyone�s
Strength so that they are hitting for 9999 each. I'm giving Cloud *most* of
my Magic Sources, but again, I'm keen to raise Cid's and Yuffie's stats up
too (Magic Sources are much harder to come by than Power Sources, unless you
used the Extended W-Item trick on the 8 eye). Give Yuffie the first 20 or so
Luck and Speed Sources to keep her hitting for critical damage, hastily, then
spread the rest out evenly. Mind Sources and Guard Sources can also be evenly
distributed.
Here is a re-cap of the enemies you can fight here:
HALLWAY:
Poodler - 6000 HP - 70 AP - Morph: Speed Source - Steal: Turbo Ether
Bad Rap - 9000 HP - 70 AP - Morph: Luck Source - Steal: Ink
CARGO ROOM/RESEARCH ROOM: (The Serpent can only be fought in the Cargo
Room.)
Unknown - 10,000 HP - 150 AP - Morph: Power Source - Steal: Fire Armlet
Unknown 2 - 13,000 HP - 300 AP - Morph: Guard Source - Steal: Aurora Armlet
Unknown 3 - 15,000 HP - 200 AP - Morph: Magic Source - Steal: Bolt Armlet
Serpent - 14,000 HP - 70 AP - Morph: Mind Source - Steal: Water Ring
When I was ready to continue my base stats looked like this (remember to
remove all Materia and accessories when viewing your stats, aswell as any
stat altering weapons/armour such as the Apocalypse):
NOTE - These are the stats I had *without* using the Extended W-Item trick,
on my first playthrough:
_____________ ______________ ___________
| Cloud Lv 97 | Yuffie Lv 82 | Cid Lv 84 |
___________|_____________|______________|___________|
| | | | |
| Strength- | 116-------- | 166--------- | 106------ |

**Don't forget to save before you exit.**
Here is a quick re-cap of where each Source can be morphed:
(* = Extended W-Item Trick)
Power Source - Heavy Tank - Reactor in Gongaga
*Screamer - Mt. Nibel, winding pathway to rector
Unknown - Sunken Gelnika Cargo Room
Guard Source - *Bagnadrana - Mt. Corel Reactor
*Spiral - Mideel Area
Unknown 2 - Sunken Gelnika Cargo Room
Maximum Kimaira - Midgar Mako Cannon Area (& Battle Square)
Armored Golem - Northern Cave
Magic Source - Unknown 3 - Sunken Gelnika Cargo Room
*8 eye - Temple of The Ancients (& Battle Square)
Mind Source - Dragon Rider - Whirlwind Maze (& Battle Square)
Killbin - Whirlwind Maze (Can't re-visit)
*Serpent - Sunken Gelnika Cargo Room
Speed Source - *Poodler - Sunken Gelnika Hallway
Luck Source - *Bad Rap - Sunken Gelnika Hallway
NOTES - The dirt area near Mideel is the optimal place to battle the Spirals,
which is preferable to fighting the Bagnadrana as they won�t appear
as often as the Spirals.
- Have you noticed how 3 different reactors all have enemies that can
be morphed into Sources? Corel, Gongaga & Nibelheim!
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D3.04 C - The Swamp Part II - Preparing for the WEAPONs
Before doing anything else head over to Mideel and talk to the hyperactive
kid (or go to Costa Del Sol ). Buy 1 Gravity. If you don't already own 4
Deathblows then head over to Fort Condor to stock up on them.
NOTE - The Allemagne (flying round creature) will may use L3 Flare as a
counter to being hit with magic. Be very wary of L3 Flare as it can
wipe your whole team out - stick to physical attacks
I'm not going to bother suggesting a load-out to you now as mine is
consistently changing. Right now you want to be concentrating on mastering
one of every Materia for the Materia Overlord Achievement (Steam), as well as
preparing yourself for Emerald and Ruby WEAPON.
It's worth noting that whilst Cloud's Apocalypse will give you 3 slots of
triple growth (meaning the equivalent of 9 slots), Cid's Scimitar will only
give you the equivalent of 6 slots (2 x triple growth).
Therefore, I highly recommend switching to Cid's Javelin as it offers 5 slots
at double growth, meaning it'll have the equivalent of 10 slots, which is the
most amount of AP that can be earned from one weapon. Just remember to keep
KOTR on a triple growth weapon.
NOTES - Remember that Ruby and Emerald will each give out 50,000 AP, and in
terms of preparation Ruby is by far the easiest. You could if you
wanted to, hold out on Leveling up a few of the below Materias all
the way (such as Magic Counter and Quadra Magic) for now, and use
Ruby to finish Leveling them up seeing as you'll only really need 1x
Knights of the Round and 3x Mime for her (and a few other bits).
- I am preparing for the ultimate battle plan for Emerald WEAPON,
which is why the following lists may look a little tedious. If
you're familiar with the game and you have your own strategy then
feel free to amend the following lists as you see fit. If you are
new to the WEAPONs however then I recommend obtaining every single
piece as listed.
- Heard of All Lucky 7's? Visit section E.18 A and scroll down to
method 5 to find an incredibly easy way to active 7777 fever,
courtesy of James Baxter! Using Lucky 7's will make the WEAPONs that
much easier...
- Keep the EXP Plus and Gil Plus equipped to help for the relevant
trophies. Enemy Lure help, also. Bear in mind that mastering All
Materias is the easiest way to gain 99,999,999 gil...
Don't leave the Swamp until you have ticked off all of the following:
(again I emphasise the fact that this list is only necessary for the
'ultimate' strategy)
2 x Contain (Lv 4)
2 x Gravity (Lv 3)
3 x Revive (Lv 2)*
3 x Lightning (Lv 3)
3 x Quadra Magic (Mastered) Keep it in a triple growth weapon
3 X Final Attack (Lv 4)*
1 x MP Turbo (Mastered)*
3 x Magic Counter (Mastered) Keep in a triple growth weapon
3 x Counter (Mastered)
3 x Mime*
9 x Counter Attack (Mastered)
1 x Knights of Round (Mastered)* Keep in a triple growth weapon
* = All that is required for defeating Ruby WEAPON
The following isn't mandatory for beating the WEAPONs but will help:
2 x Mega All
1 x Double Cut (Lv 2) Remember - Mega All will override Double Cut.
2 x Long Range
2 x Magic Plus (Mastered)
1 x Phoenix (Mastered) (For Emerald WEAPON only)
The following won�t be used in either WEAPON battle, but you will want to try
to fulfil this list only if you want to be a FF VII God:
3 x Ultima
3 x Contain (Lv 4)
3 x Steal as Well
3 x Added Cut
3 x Sneak Attack (Mastered)
3 x Added Effect
3 x Elemental (Mastered)
3 x HP Absorb
3 x MP Absorb
3 x MP Turbo (Mastered)
6 x Counter (Mastered)
5 x Morph
3 x Double Cut (Lv 2)
3 x Mega All
2 x Pre-Emptive (Mastered)
3 x Long Range
3 x Hades
Optional:
3 x Seal - Works brilliantly with Added Effect on all three players, can be
bought from Costa Del Sol and Junon
7 x Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Gravity or Poison (Lv 3) - for an Ultimate
Materia Combination
3 x Alexander - For Holy Element
3 x Leviathan - For Water Element
3 x Choco/Mog - For Wind Element (or Typoon)
If Yuffie gets to level 99 then feel free to swap her over with your lowest
levelled player.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before heading over to defeat the WEAPONs you may want to consider stopping
off at the Gelnika one last time to give yourselves a quick stat boost. If
you are planning on doing this then I suggest walking away from the North
Crater at this stage with 4 Morphs, 2 to go with Mastered Sneak Attacks, 1 to
go with Steal as Well and one to go with a Mastered Counter.
Naturally, you could just make use of the Extended W-Item trick to gain one
more 'sweep' of Sources, just for the extra bit of unnecessary Over-Powered-
ness. During the course of everything I expect you to reach Lv 99 with Cloud,
unlocking the Liege of Leveling Trophy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the time I was ready to face the WEAPONs I'd managed to complete the first
and second list, with the exception of Magic Counter and Quadra Magic which
I'm using Ruby to help me finish off.
These were my finishing stats (at base level) on my first playthrough,
*without* using the Extended W-Item Trick:
_____________ ______________ ___________
| Cloud Lv 99 | Yuffie Lv 99 | Cid Lv 99 |
___________|_____________|______________|___________|
| | | | |
| Strength- | 148-------- | 187--------- | 137------ |
| Dexterity | 91--------- | 94---------- | 90------- |
| Vitality- | 134-------- | 134--------- | 135------ |
| Magic---- | 142-------- | 105--------- | 105------ |
| Spirit--- | 110-------- | 109--------- | 111------ |
| Luck----- | 71--------- | 72--------- | 75------- |
|___________|_____________|______________|___________|
These were my finishing stats on my second playthrough *with* the Extended W-
Item trick:
_____________ ______________ ___________
| Cloud Lv 99 | Yuffie Lv 85 | Cid Lv 88 |
___________|_____________|______________|___________|
| | | | |
| Strength- | 196-------- | 214--------- | 197------ |
| Dexterity | 185-------- | 170--------- | 147------ |
| Vitality- | 167-------- | 158--------- | 152------ |
| Magic---- | 210-------- | 142--------- | 143------ |
| Spirit--- | 141-------- | 130--------- | 128------ |
| Luck----- | 95--------- | 105-------- | 95------- |
|___________|_____________|______________|___________|
The highest any stat can reach is 255.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--D3.04 D - The Ultimate Battles
--Items - Gold Chocobo, Master Magic, Master Command, Master Summon
--Boss - Ruby WEAPON Lv 59 (Desert Rose), Emerald WEAPON Lv 99 (Earth Harp)
RUBY WEAPON:
Make sure that you have at least on Dazers and one Spider Web in your
inventory, then duplicate them both to around 25 (using the W-Item trick). If
you haven't got any then head over to Corral Valley (past Bone Village) to
fight the Boundfat for Dazers which you can steal, morph or simply wait for
them to drop one. Then head over to Gongaga to fight the Kimara Bug to steal
the Spider Web. Be sure to have roughly 15 Megalixirs also.
NOTES - Go into your Item menu and re-arrange your items to suit. Place the
Spider Web at the top, the Dazers second and the Megalixirs third.
- Yuffie's Limit 3-2 Doom of The Living is actually better than her Lv
4 Limit Break, All Creation!
Now fill up Yuffie�s Limit gauge by giving her a Hyper, putting her in the
front row and then manipulating the Valrons near Nibelheim to make use of
their Dive Kick move. Now head over to the desert surrounding the Gold Saucer
to prepare yourself for the battle.
The first thing you are going to want to do is to kill off Cloud and Cid
(it'll make sense momentarily), then turn the Battle Speed all the way down
to 0 (trust me on this one). Afterwards you can set-up accordingly:
1) Cloud (Back, KO'd)
____________________ __________________________________________________
| Apocalypse: | Wizard Bracelet: |
| | |
| Magic Counter Lv 4 | MP Turbo Master = Knights of the Round Master |
| W-Summon Lv 1 | HP Absorb Lv 1 = Knights of the Round Lv 1 |
| W-Magic Lv 1 | Enemy Skill |
| | Mime Lv 1 |
| | Magic Plus Master |
| | HP Plus Master Acc: Ribbon |
|____________________|__________________________________________________|
2) Yuffie (Back)
______________________________________ _________________________________
| Conformer: | Rune Armlet: |

| Final Attack Master = Revive Master | Choose any 4 Summons that you |
| Sneak Attack Master = Time Lv 1 or 2 | would like to give 100,000 AP |
| Enemy Skill | to |
| Mime Master | |
| Mega All Master | |
| HP Plus Master | Acc: Ribbon |
|______________________________________|_________________________________|
3) Cid (Back, KO'd)
______________________________________ _________________________________
| Venus Gospel: | Rune Armlet: |

| Enemy Skill | Choose any 3 Summons that you |
| Mime Master | would like to give 100,000 AP |
| Speed Plus Master | to |
| HP Plus Master | Acc: Ribbon |
|______________________________________|_________________________________|
NOTE - Make sure that the Time you have given to Yuffie is Lv 1 or 2.
When you are ready, save your game and fly into the red object you see
squirming about in the middle of the desert (or alternatively bump into it
with your Gold Chocobo).

* rewards the I suggest entering |_________________________________________| *
* the fight with Cloud and Cid *
* KO'd. After 25, then 32 turns it will use Whirlsand again. *
* *
* The attacks that the Tentacles use actually comes from Ruby itself, the *
* tentacles are just there for appearance, although you can still attack *
* them. All of the moves Ruby performs through her Tentacles are gravity *
* based, and therefore cannot kill you. Once they have been defeated Ruby *
* will remove them from the ground, thus making her use Whirlsand again (but *
* not becoming invincible), so it's advised that you just concentrate on *
* Ruby leaving the Tentacles alone. Its attacks can be extraordinarily *
* powerful, and should you cast KOTR on it then it'll counter attack by *
* using Ultima. So how then do you defeat Ruby WEAPON? Here's how: *
* *
* Ruby has three Status weaknesses, two of which we can exploit - Slow and *
* Paralyze (Darkness cannot be exploited). As soon as the battle begins *
* Yuffie should automatically put herself into Haste, then Ruby will bury *
* its tentacles into the sand. Without hesitation, revive Cid and Cloud *
* (using Life2 & Mega All), then use Yuffie's Limit Break. Have Cid cast *
* W-Items Spider Web and then Dazers on it (in that order) to Slow then *
* Paralyze it, followed by Big Guard from Cloud. *
* *
* Provided Ruby has been successfully Paralyzed, you can now go ahead and *
* have Cloud W-Summon Knights of the Round. The MP Turbo accompanied with *
* Magic Plus should be enough to have Cloud hit for 9999 every hit, not to *
* mention restoring half of Cloud's HP in the process with the HP Absorb *
* combo. *
* *
* Next it's just a simple case of using Mime until it is dead. If it manages *
* to break free from its paralysis then don't hesitate to use more Dazers *
* and Spider Webs (the Slow Status will prolong the Paralyzed Status), *
* you'll then have to re-initiate the KOTR mime loop once more. After *
* roughly 7 - 8 uses of KOTR, it'll finally start to flash red you'll be *
* rewarded with the [DESERT ROSE] for your effort. *
* *
* NOTE - Using Dazers on Ruby will not 'reset' her paralysis; you must wait *
* until she has broken free before inflicting her with Paralyze *
* again. *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
NOTES - The above strategy is by far the easiest (and by contrast the most
popular), and is also by far the longest. There are alternative ways
in which you can defeat Ruby that prove to be more of a challenge, if
you're interested then goto section E.16 C.
- You should now have unlocked the Ruby Render Trophy.
Now that you have defeated Ruby, head over to Kalm to talk to the Kalm
Traveller (eastern-most house). You can now exchange the Desert Rose for a
Gold Chocobo, after it's finished climbing the stairs you'll be able to run
over to it to name it. If you hadn't any room in your stables then it'll be
kept in your pen at the Chocobo Ranch for the time being. Note that this
Chocobo is a completely useless racing Chocobo.
EMERALD WEAPON:
The first thing you are going to need to grab the Underwater Materia from
the Kalm Traveller if you hadn't already done so. Head through Junon until
you reach the sea bed, then Morph a Ghost Ship for the Guide Book. This can
be then be exchanged for the Underwater Materia (which will remove the 20
minute countdown timer when battling Emerald).
NOTE - With the following strategy, you don't actually need the Underwater
Materia, I was able to defeat him in 13 minutes. It's just handy to
have equipped as a precautionary.
The preparation for Emerald is almost the same as Ruby, except you don't need
to kill off 2 of your characters and you don't need to worry about having any
Dazers or Spider Webs, although you would do well to bring around 20 Hero
Drinks with you into battle (remember that it raises one players Attack,
Defence, Magic and Magic Defence by 30%, and can be used up to four times in
battle for a maximum of 100%). Don't forget to slow the ATB gauge down all
the way.
You are going to want to make sure that each players Limit gauge is filled to
the max, after that you're going to want to give everyone Tranquilizers to
inflict them with Sadness. Now you're going to want to set yourself up with
the following:
1) Cloud (Back)
_____________________________________ ______________________________________
| Ultima Weapon: | Wizard Bracelet: |
| | |
| Final Attack Master = Phoenix Mstr | Quadra Magic Mstr = Lightning Master |
| Counter Master = Deathblow Master | MP Turbo Master = Lightning Master |
| Counter Attack Master | Magic Counter Mstr = Lightning Mstr |
| Counter Attack Master | Mega All Lv 3 |
| Counter Attack Master | HP Plus Master |
| Magic Plus Master | Acc: Sprint Shoes |
|_____________________________________|______________________________________|
2) Yuffie (Back)
_____________________________________ ______________________________________
| Conformer: | Wizard Bracelet: |
| | |
| Counter Master = Deathblow Master | Final Attack Master = Revive Master |
| Counter Master = Deathblow Lv 1 | Quadra Magic Lv 2 = Contain Master |
| Enemy Skill | Magic Counter Master = Contain Mstr |
| Counter Attack Master | Mega All Master |
| Counter Attack Master | HP Plus Master |
| Counter Attack Master | Acc: Sprint Shoes |
|_____________________________________|______________________________________|
3) Cid (Back)
_____________________________________ ______________________________________
| Venus Gospel: | Wizard Bracelet: |
| | |
| Final Attack Master = Revive Master | Quadra Magic Master = Gravity Master |
| Counter Master = Deathblow Master | Magic Counter Master = Gravity Mstr |
| Counter Attack Master | Underwater |
| Counter Attack Master | HP Plus Master |
| Counter Attack Master | Choose 2 Materia to gain 50,000 AP |
| Mega All Master | Acc: Sprint Shoes |
|_____________________________________|______________________________________|
NOTE - The Phoenix Materia will fully revive all players, and will hit
Emerald with Fire damage (Ruby absorbs Fire damage, so Phoenix is
only good against Emerald). The downside is that it can only be used
as many times as it has levelled up, and mastering a Phoenix Materia
takes a lot longer than the Revive Materia.
The above set-up should max Cloud's Magic to 255, if not either equip a
Circlet or spend a little bit more time in the Gelnika. When you are ready,
save your game and jump in your submarine. Emerald WEAPON, here we come!!!
(It's about damn time.)

* Gravity based attack as opposed to |____________|____________|__________| *

* technically speaking gravity would | -------Lv: | 99-------- | 50------ | *

* strengths, although the fact that | -------MP: | 100------- | 100----- | *
* it can still be damaged by gravity | ------EXP: | 50000----- | -------- | *
* means we can still use Demi for | -------AP: | 50000----- | -------- | *

* | ---ABSORB: | ICE--WTR-- | ICE--WTR | *
* There's no need for Ribbons here as | --NULLIFY: | ERT------- | ERT----- | *
* he cannot inflict Status changes | ----HALVE: | **GRV**--- | -------- | *
* (he can only clear them), nor is | ---DOUBLE: | LHT------- | FRE----- | *
* there any need for Big Guard as he |____________________________________| *
* can easily remove it using Emerald *
* Shoot, although he won't use it when any of his eyes are open. Every turn *
* you get make sure to use a Hero Drink until all 3 players have used 2-3 *
* Hero Drinks each, making sure to use Megalixirs as necessary. Emerald can *
* also be inflicted with Slow. *
* *
* Emerald Weapon only has a few attacks: *
* *
* Emerald Shoot - Used when its eyes are shut. Will cause around 7000 damage *
* to one character whilst also removing Barrier, MBarrier, Shield, Death *
* Force and Resist. *
* *
* Emerald Beam - Used when at least one eye is open. Will hit all players *
* for 63% of their current HP whilst also removing Regen. *
* *
* Revenge Stamp - Used as a counter attack when its eyes are open and will *
* hit all players for roughly 2500 HP whilst also removing Haste. *
* *
* Aire Tam Storm - (Materia spelt backwards) Uncommonly used as a counter *
* attack, Aire Tam will hit all players for 1111 HP PER MATERIA EQUIPPED! So *
* make sure to have Final Attack=Revive/Phoenix equipped. It will also *
* remove nearly all positive Statuses. *
* *
* Blue Eye (A & D) - Damages one player for roughly 4000 HP *
* *
* Yellow Eye (B & C) - Damages one player for roughly 650 MP *
* *
* He also uses an unnamed attack called Foot Stamp which takes out roughly *
* 2500HP to all characters. He'll only use this move if all eyes are shut. *
* *
* So long as you have followed the exact set-up as above you really *
* shouldn't struggle, in fact I find it to be tremendously funny watching my *
* party go into counter attack overdrive mode every time they are attacked, *
* and it's far more entertaining to watch than the KOTR + Mime strategy. *
* Just keep using defensive moves whilst occasionally using Deathblow or a *
* Limit Break, once he is finished you will receive the [EARTH HARP]. *
* *
* NOTES - One strategy is to use Lucky 7's to greatly damage Emerald. This *
* is activated by equipping a player with no more than 2 lots of *
* Materia, one of which being HP Plus (to make that persons HP *
* 9999). When Emerald uses Aire Tam it will inflict 2222 worth of *
* damage, reducing the targets HP down to 7777, activating 7777 *
* Fever. The combined damage won't be enough to kill Emerald, but *
* it will be enough to greatly damage it (it's worth pointing this *
* out just in case you were curious to see what Lucky 7's looked *
* like, if nothing else). *
* *
* - Aire Tam will only be used if he's used two consecutive Emerald *
* Beams with all of the eyes open, or if he's used Revenge Stamp 10 *
* times, or if he's taken 500,000 HP of damage from Knights of the *
* Round (with his eyes open). The easiest way to get him to use *
* Aire Tam is to wait until he has opened his eyes, kill all but *
* one of them (leave a yellow one alive) then just wait. *
* *
%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^%
NOTES - As with Ruby, there are varying methods to dealing with Emerald. See
section E.16 B for more info.
- You should now have unlocked the Emerald Eviscerator Trophy.
- Don't forget to turn the ATB back up!
CONGRATULATIONS! You've defeated the two supreme bosses of the game, you are
now an FF VII legend. Head over to Kalm to claim your prize from the Kalm
Traveller - the [MASTER MAGIC MATERIA], [MASTER COMMAND MATERIA], and the
[MASTER SUMMON MATERIA]. Hoo-rah (PS4 players will unlock the Transcendant
Convoker Trophy).
____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] SIDE NOTE - MASTER MAGIC [
] [
] Master Magic, Command and Summon give players the ability to possess every [
] single Magic and Summon, but not Command. Specifically, the Commands that [
] are equipped are Mime, Manipulate, Morph, Sense, Steal, Deathblow, Throw. [
] These are the same Command Materias (and only these Command Materias) that [
] can be paired with Support Materia. [
] [
] NOTE - If you pair HP Absorb, MP Absorb, Steal as Well and/or Added Cut [
] to Master Command, you will find that the Support Materia's effect [
] would apply to every available command, including Attack, Magic, [
] Summon and Item. [
] [
] Should you wish to acquire a second and third set of these then you will [
] have to trade in one of every single piece of Mastered Magic Materia to [
] obtain the Master Magic Materia, the same goes for Summon Materia, however [
] you'll only need to trade in the Command Materia mentioned above for the [
] Master Command. Where do you trade these in I hear you asking? Why, in [
] Bugenhagen's Observatory of course. Interact with the Huge Materia to be [
] prompted to 'Materia Blend'. [
] [
] NOTE - Losing all of your mastered Magic, Summon and (some) Command [
] Materia will free up your inventory loads, so you shouldn't need [
] to worry anymore about running out of room, just *MAKE SURE* to [
] have unlocked the Materia Overlord Achievement first. [

Surprisingly enough, there is still a little bit more that we can squeeze
from this game!

--D3.04 E - Completion
I've decided to split this final sub-section into lots of smaller sub-final
sub sections followed by a final ultimate final load out suggestion with lots
of smaller penultimate sub-suggestions finalising with one climatic great,
big.....
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for taking the time to immerse yourself in the world that is Final
Fantasy VII once more (or for the first time), and thank you for choosing my
guide in which to enjoy it with. I hope I have been as helpful as I initially
set myself out to be, and I hope that you didn't find the game too easy as a
result of me being too overly helpful.
NOTE - Other than obtaining 99,999,999 gil for the Coming Up All Nines
Trophy, the following quests are completely optional and are only
required if you'd really like to feel as though you've done
absolutely every single thing that the game has to offer (aside from
all of the 'custom' challenges that are out there, such as low-level
challenges, 'Perfect Game' challenges etc).
1.) Mastering the last of your Materia.
If you need to free up some Materia slots then DO NOT exchange your
mastered Materia for the Master Materia at Bugenhagen's Observatory until
you have the Materia Overlord Achievement. I suggest selling a few Counter
Attacks, HP Plus's, Alls etc. Just *MAKE SURE* to leave one un-mastered
copy in your inventory. I cannot stress this enough.
I advise sticking with Cloud and Cid for their triple growth weapons, but
feel free to swap Yuffie out if you wish. I whacked in Tifa and equipped
her with the Powersoul which is double growth and will quadruple in attack
power when equipped with the Curse Ring, and then double in attack power
again when she has critical health for 8x her normal strength!
NOTE - Materia Overlord Achievement. When you master a piece of Materia a
check is performed to see if every other piece is mastered or not.
This also checks to see if at least one Enemy Skill is completely
filled and that the Master Magic, Master Command, Master Summon and
Underwater are present, but doesn't check to see how much AP they
have. You must also have the Materia either in your inventory or
equipped onto a player, so if you'd sold, trashed or exchanged (at
Bugenhagen's Observatory) any mastered piece then you would have to
re-master that piece, unless you already have another copy mastered.
2.) Obtaining a second set of Master Materia.
I suggest now heading over to Cosmo Canyon to exchange all of your
mastered Magic, Summon, and some of your Command Materia for the Master
Magic, Summon and Command Materia respectively. This should help you free
up a load of inventory slots.
3.) Training until your heart is content in the Sunken Gelnika.
Although a long-winded challenge, you could try and obtain enough Sources
to max out your teams stats to 255. Should you wish to obtain a third and
final of Master Materia set then I suggest working towards that now
Those of the exploitive nature could always use the Extended W-Item Trick
to max out their characters stats to 255!
4.) Training everyone up to level 99.
You're still going to want to train in the swamp for this, those Magic Pots
really do give out the most of EXP aswell as AP. Make sure to continuously
level up all of your Materia again, excluding support and independent
Materia.
5.) Obtaining you third set of Master Materia.
Once you are ready head over to Bugenhagen's Observatory once more to
exchange your Materia for a third set of Master Materia. Congratulations,
you are now an FF VII God.
6.) Obtaining 99,999,999 gil.
I saved this one till last so that you wouldn't have to spend as long
grinding away, as you should be roughly 20 - 30% of the way towards your
target. 98 Sylkis Greens will sell for 245,000 gil, so you'll net 1 million
every four battles. You may be here for a little while... The other
alternative is to master as many Alls as you can. The latter is probably
the preferred strategy.
Have you just earned the Coming Up All Nines Trophy? Then congrats - You've
just also unlocked the platinum, Gaia's Guardian Trophy! Well done!
7.) Defeating the final bosses one last time.
This is it, one final ultimate battle to end all battles. With every
player at level 99, Bizarro and Safer Sephiroth will have the maximum amount
of HP possible, and therefore posing the biggest challenge. Don't forget to
cast Knights of The Round on Jenova-Synthesis to give Bizarro and Safer
that extra boost in HP!
Before anything else, I would just like to demonstrate my perfect load-outs:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BATTLE SQUARE:
Cloud - Lv 99 (Front)
Added Effect=Hades, Added Cut=Deathblow
Ultima Weapon - Master Magic, Master Command, Master Summon, Enemy Skill,
Mystile - Counter=Deathblow, Counter Attack, Counter Attack,
Ribbon Mega All, HP Plus,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIELD:
1) Cloud - Lv 99 (Back)
Added Effect=Hades, Added Cut=Deathblow
Ultima Weapon - Master Magic, Master Command, Master Summon, Enemy Skill,
Mystile - Final Attack=Revive, W-Magic, Long Range, Mega All,
Ribbon HP Plus
2) Yuffie - Lv 99 (Back)
Added Effect=Hades, Sneak Attack=Morph
Conformer - Master Magic, Master Command, Master Summon, Enemy Skill,
Mystile - Counter=Morph, Steal as well=Morph, Mega All, HP Plus
Ribbon
3) Cid - Lv 99 (Back)
Added Effect=Hades, W-Item, Double Cut
Venus Gospel - Master Magic, Master Command, Master Summon, Enemy Skill,
Mystile - Counter=Mug, Counter Attack, Long Range, Speed Plus,
Ribbon HP Plus
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So now all that is left to do is to whoop Sephiroth's backside one last
time and you are officially done with the game!
Once again,

ONE LAST THING:
Fancy something new? If you own either of the PC versions then you may wish
to explore some of the modifications that are available at www.qhimm.com:
New Threat - A complete difficulty overhaul, the New Threat Mod is for those
feeling a bit jaded with the game. Packed with new and revised
enemies and bosses, new side-quests, optional cutscene skips and
a whole lot more!
Made by Sega Chief:

Beacause - Let's face it, an absolutely terrible job was done of the
localisation, and many times we've found ourselves marvelling at
blatant errors such as �This guy is sick�. The 'beacause' mod is a
complete front-to-back re-localisation, and every single text has
been looked at and corrected based on the original Japanese.
Something to make Hironobu Sakaguchi proud!

������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.01 A - The Basics
The first thing to point out is the fact that it's actually called the Gold
Saucer Dating Game, but in the interest of protecting those who are new to
the game I decided to change the title to something more obscure as to not
reveal anything.
Throughout the first two thirds of Disk 1 you will have many opportunities to
raise or lower certain character's affection towards you through the dialogue
choices you make, including choices regarding who you have in your party for
certain events. The character with the highest rating at the time in which
you re-visit the Gold Saucer after obtaining the Tiny Bronco will be chosen
as your lucky partner for the evening. There are only four characters however
that can be chosen as a date, and they are Aeris, Tifa, Yuffie & (even)
Barret. Their starting values are as follows:
Aeris - 50
Tifa - 30
Yuffie - 10
Barret - 0
If you wish to date either Aeris or Tifa then you won�t really need a guide,
just be particularly pleasant to either character whilst being mean to
everybody else. If you wish to date Yuffie or Barret however then you
probably will need to use this guide. Note that if you date Tifa or Aeris
then you will experience dialogue within the date that is quite deep in
relation to the storyline, but if you date Yuffie or Barret then you will
have a much more comical experience.
NOTE - If you have the PS4 version, then you will want Barret to win the
Affection Game for the Best Bromance Trophy!
Red XIII, Cait Sith, Vincent and Cid do not have an affection rating
whatsoever, so nothing you do or say will affect them in any way shape or
form. If two of the applicable characters finish with matching values then
the character with the highest priority is chosen, and the priority order
goes Aeris, Tifa, Yuffie then Barret.
{Speed Dating}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.01 B - Speed Dating (The easy way to date a character)
Aeris: There is no secret to dating Aeris. She starts off 20 points in the
lead so if you fail to date Aeris then you really need some lessons in
courtesy.
Tifa: Whilst locked up in the Shinra HQ you can talk to Tifa an infinite
amount of times to boost her score by +1 each time by selecting �Leave
it to me�. Selecting �Kinda hard� will lower her score by -1 each time.
Yuffie: Don't recruit Yuffie until you have passed Mt. Nibel. Then fight in
the smaller of the two forests near Rocket Town to encounter Yuffie
100% of the time. Respond correctly to the first four choices to gain
+8 (2 per choice), then choose incorrectly for the final choice to
have her steal some gil from you. Keep doing this until you are
satisfied that her score is high enough, then recruit her. She will
then return all that she has stolen from you. Her affection rating
cannot be raised higher than 30 this way.
Barret: Make sure that Barret is in your party when you first enter Cosmo
Canyon, then head over to the back of Tiger Lily's Weapon Shop to
find Barret. Listen to him talk about Avalanche, then when prompted
choose dialogue option 1 to hear more about his story, boosting his
affection towards you by +3. When prompted a second time, choose
option 2 �Yeah, whatever...�, then run outside and back in again to
reset the dialogue sequence. Keep doing this to raise Barret's
affinity +3 each time.
*DO NOT* attempt this if you are trying to achieve the Best Bromance
Trophy, as reports suggest that doing so prevents the trophy from
unlocking if Barret's affection rating exceeds its limit. Only
attempt this if you have messed up your choices along the way, and
don't want to start a fresh game.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.01 C - Every Decision and its Outcome

BARRET +1
--D1.07 B - The Nibelheim Incident
20a After the flashback, Barret remarks that he is leaving:
- �Wait a sec� NO EFFECT (leads to further dialogue)
- �Right� BARRET +1
20b After choosing �Wait a sec� in the previous dialogue choice:
- �Beautiful, just beautiful� BARRET +3
- �Is that all?� BARRET -1
21 Whilst exploring the houses of Kalm, a woman will ask for your
thoughts on the convenience of Mako energy:
- �Yeah, Maybe� BARRET -2, AERIS -1, TIFA -1, and/or YUFFIE +1
- �You're full of it� BARRET +2, AERIS +1, TIFA +1, and/or YUFFIE -1
NOTE - Only characters in your party will be affected.
22 In the same house, another woman will ask for your thoughts on 'the
old ways':
- �Yeah, maybe� BARRET +2, AERIS +1, TIFA +1, and/or YUFFIE -1
- �No way� BARRET -2, AERIS -1, TIFA -1, and/or YUFFIE +1
NOTE - Only characters in your party will be affected.
--D1.08 C - Fort Condor
23 When you first talk to the old guy:
- �I guess so� BARRET +5, AERIS +3, TIFA +3 and/or YUFFIE +2
- �Not interested� BARRET -5, AERIS -3, TIFA -3 and/or YUFFIE -2
NOTE - Only characters in your party will be affected.
24 When the old guy discusses his problem:
- �All right� BARRET +5, AERIS +3, TIFA +3 and/or YUFFIE +2
- �Not interested� BARRET -5, AERIS -3, TIFA -3 and/or YUFFIE -2
NOTE - Only characters in your party will be affected.
This is basically the same responses for recruiting Yuffie:
25a After defeating the Mystery Ninja in the screen with the save point:
- �All right� NO EFFECT
- �Not interested� YUFFIE +2
25b After selecting �Not interested�:
- �......petrified� YUFFIE +2
- �You're gonna lose again� NO EFFECT
25c After selecting �......petrified�:
- �Go ahead� NO EFFECT
- �Wait a second!� YUFFIE +2
25d After selecting �Wait a second!�:
- �......That's right� YUFFIE +2
- �You kiddin'?� NO EFFECT
25e After selecting �......That's right�:
- �......What's your name?� NO EFFECT
- �......Let's hurry on� YUFFIE +2
NOTE - You could purposely select the incorrect response on the
final choice if you wanted to. This will retain the +8
points for Yuffie that you have gained, you can then repeat
to keep raising her affection towards you indefinitely.
--D1.09 C - Cargo Ship
26 When Yuffie asks for some Tranquilizers, choose:
- �Here, use this� YUFFIE +4
- �Nope� YUFFIE -2
27 When Aeris talks about the Highwind, choose:
- �I'll take you someday� AERIS +2
- �I dunno...� AERIS -2
28 When Tifa remarks how much she hates war, choose:
- �Yeah...� TIFA +2
- �I don't know� TIFA -2
--D1.11 A - Gold Saucer
29 The first character that you choose to talk to will get either +3
or -2, depending on whether or not you choose them to accompany you.
No other rating value shall change after the first dialogue choice
has been made.
NOTE - If you choose no-one then the person with the highest
affinity towards you will be chosen as your accompaniment.
If this person is Barret then Red XIII will be chosen.
--D1.11 B - Corel Prison
30 The character chosen to accompany you to fight Dyne will receive:
AERIS +10, TIFA +3 or YUFFIE +2
--D1.13 B - Gongaga Village
Having Tifa and/or Aeris in your party when you first talk to
Zack's parents will result in some optional dialogue with them:
31a Talk to Tifa:
- �I just got lucky� TIFA +1
- �I worked hard for it� TIFA +1
31b Talk to Aeris:
- �Poor Guy� AERIS +1
- �...jealous...envious...� AERIS +2
Should you choose to simply ignore either one of them then you will
receive -3 for the character/s that you blanked (simply leave
Gongaga without talking to them).
--D1.14 A - Welcome Home Nanaki
Make sure that Barret is in your party when first entering Cosmo
Canyon, then speak to him in the back of Tiger Lily's Weapon Store:
32a After Barret has finished talking for the first time:
- �Go on� BARRET +3 (GLITCHED use as many times as you like)
- �Not Really� NO EFFECT
32b After Barret has finished talking for the second time:
- �And then� BARRET +3
- �Yeah, whatever...� NO EFFECT *Choose this option for the glitch
After selecting Option 1 followed by option 2 you can leave and re-
enter the room to repeat the dialogue sequence, gaining +3 each
time. The glitch ends once you select option 1 twice consecutively.
--D1.18 A - Wutai
33 Finishing Yuffie's sidequest will result in +10 for Yuffie.
WEIRDLY ENOUGH you do not receive any affection boost/drops for the choices
you make in the church in Sector 5 when you first meet Aeris, so you can go
ahead and call her a drunk if you like and it'll make no difference
whatsoever. Nor does the dialogue choices you make in Costa Del Sol have any
impact on the outcome. Lastly, Mt. Corel. It doesn't matter at all whether
you take the 10 Phoenix Downs or not, your characters will still love you
just the same (bizarre, I know).
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.01 D - Hidden Extras
If Tifa's affection value is above 50 after the date (even if she wasn't
your date) then you will get a slight variation in the scenes at the end of
Disk 2. This occurs when Cloud and Tifa get back on board the Highwind after
spending some alone time together.
If you were to raise Tifa's affection to above 120 before entering Gongaga
for the first time (by rinsing the exploit in the jail cells at the Shinra
HQ) then her dialogue will be slightly different. The same applies for Aeris,
although there is no possible way of raising her affection to 120 without
using cheats/game hacks.
Also coded into the game is a 'Battle Affection' system (Thank TFergusson for
his Gold Saucer Date Guide Faq for this info) that kept a separate score for
certain actions performed in-battle. This system was designed to run
coherently with the main scoring system, and when a date was chosen it
would've taken into account both values. As it transpires, the game still
keeps track of the four characters battle affection ratings, although they
are completely disregarded when a date is selected and as such serve no
purpose within the game whatsoever. The actions/rewards are as follows:
- Cloud revives a teammate +4 Battle Affection
- Cloud successfully uses Cover on a teammate +3 Battle Affection
- Cloud restores a teammates HP +2 Battle Affection
- Cloud wounds a teammate -2 Battle Affection
- Cloud kills a teammate -4 Battle Affection
- A teammate is KO'd at the end of a battle -5 Battle Affection
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.01 E - Take The Time to Get to Know Me (The long way to date a character)
Below is an in-depth guide to boosting a particular characters rating to
the max whilst reducing all others as much as possible:
NOTE - For more info on how to get Don Corneo to select the bride of your
choice, see section E.04.

--E.01 F - Gold Saucer Date Script
Ok, so there is a fair amount of script that takes place during the date
sequence, I only intend to narrate the bit that really matters - the
conversation on the Gondola. There is a fair amount of sub-context in regards
to Tifa's and Aeris's date, whereas Yuffie and Barret's date is purely
comical.
If I get a strong enough demand to, I will take the time to write up the
whole script of each date sequence, including the whole EDK bit, but only if
enough people want me to.

--E.02 A - About Limit Breaks
Limit Breaks are powerful techniques that your players can use once their
Limit gauge has completely filled up. In order to fill up your Limit gauge
you must first receive enough damage; every time they get hit their Limit
gauge will fill up slightly. The rate at which the gauge fills is
proportionate to how much HP has been drained as a % of you max HP, aswell as
the current Limit level that you have set for that character. To use your
Limit Break you must select it as it appears in place of your basic attack,
should you wish to save your Limit for later on (for say, a boss) then you
will have to find a different command to select.
Here is a chart depicting how much HP must be drained for each character for
their Limit gauge to be filled up completely:
_______ _______ _______ _______
| | | | |
| Lv 1: | Lv 2: | Lv 3: | Lv 4: |
+-----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Cloud | 47% | 108% | 144% | 168% |
|-----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Barret | 43% | 80% | 124% | 149% |
|-----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Tifa | 40% | 111% | 169% | 188% |
|-----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Aeris | 66% | 94% | 107% | 145% |
|-----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Red XIII | 65% | 100% | 129% | 161% |
|-----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Yuffie | 66% | 100% | 133% | 159% |
|-----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Cait Sith | 53% | 60% | N/A | N/A |
|-----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Vincent | 67% | 81% | 106% | 141% |
|-----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Cid | 66% | 93% | 126% | 159% |
+-----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Note that all figures have been rounded. Also note that Tifa requires the
least amount of damage at level 1 whilst requiring the most amount of damage
at level 4.
When your gauge has been filled to the max and your Limit becomes available,
your gauge will start flashing rainbow colours. When this happens, the ATB
(Active Time Battle) gauge will fill up at twice its normal rate allowing you
to hastily use your Limit Break. Should you choose to save your Limit for
another turn, the ATB will not fill up as quickly again until you've used
your Limit and you've filled up the gauge once more. Once you have opted to
use your Limit Break the said character will take priority over every other
command, meaning he/she will always attack next even if it wasn't his/her
turn to do so.
There are two Statuses that can affect the rate in which your Limit gauge
fills up, these are Fury and Sadness. Fury will double the rate at which your
gauge will fill whilst at the same time reducing the player's accuracy by
30%, whereas Sadness will halve the time it takes for your Limit to fill
whilst reducing the amount of damage you take by 30%. You can inflict Fury on
a character by using a Hyper, which can also be used to cure you of Sadness.
You can inflict Sadness on a character by using a Tranquilizer, which can
also be used to cure you of Fury. Unlike every other Status in the game Fury
and Sadness are the only ailments that will not be removed from a character
once a battle has finished, and will carry over to each forthcoming battle
until the character/s have been cured.
It is also worth noting that a fair whack of the trophies that can be
obtained a related to the Limit Breaks. In fact, 18 of the 36 trophies (50%)
are Limit related; simply use each of the 9 character's first and last Limit
Break to gain half of the available trophies.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.02 B - Leveling Up Your Limits
There are four Limit levels available for each character (excluding Cait
Sith & Vincent), levels 1, 2 & 3 contain two commands to select from in-
battle, and level 4 (being the ultimate level) only has one command to choose
from. To see what levels are currently available for a character, goto
'Limit' in the main menus. When a character's Limit Break levels up you must
manually set the Limit to the new level within this menu. This also enables
you to backtrack to previous levels; some Limit Breaks hold unique
properties, such as Aeris's Fury Brand and Barret's Mindblow.
There are two ways of Leveling up your Limit Breaks: 1) by getting x amount
of kills and 2) by using your Limits x amount of times. Here is a chart
depicting the required amount of kills and uses required to level up your
Limits:
_________ _________ ___________ _________ ___________ _________
| | | | | | |
| Lv 1-1 | Lv 1-2 | Lv 2-1 | Lv 2-2 | Lv 3-1 | Lv 3-2 |
+-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------|
| Cloud | Default | 8 Uses | 120 Kills | 7 Uses | 320 Kills | 6 Uses |
|-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------|
| Barret | Default | 9 Uses | 80 Kills | 8 Uses | 160 Kills | 6 Uses |
|-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------|
| Tifa | Default | 9 Uses | 96 Kills | 7 Uses | 192 Kills | 6 Uses |
|-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------|
| Aeris | Default | 8 Uses | 80 Kills | 6 Uses | 160 Kills | 5 Uses |
|-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------|
| Red XIII | Default | 8 Uses | 72 Kills | 7 Uses | 144 Kills | 6 Uses |
|-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------|
| Yuffie | Default | 8 Uses | 64 Kills | 7 Uses | 128 Kills | 6 Uses |
|-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------|
| Cait Sith | Default | N/A | 40 Kills | N/A | N/A | N/A |
|-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------|
| Vincent | Default | N/A | 40 Kills | N/A | 96 Kills | N/A |
|-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------|
| Cid | Default | 7 Uses | 60 Kills | 6 Uses | 136 Kills | 5 Uses |
+-----------+---------+---------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------+
NOTE - To unlock the 3-1 Limit Break you must acquire the above kill count as
a total, not including the 2-1 kill count i.e. Cloud requires 320
kills to unlock his 3-1, NOT 440.
So in order to unlock Limit 1-2 for Cloud, you must first use his 1-1 Limit 8
times. It is possible to unlock a character's 2-1 Limit before their 1-2
Limit by reaching the kill threshold prior to using the required amount of
Limits, however you manually 'Set' your Limit Breaks in the menus to level 2
otherwise you will be stuck with your level 1 Limit Break/s. You also *must*
unlock all 6 Limit Breaks in order to learn the ultimate level 4 Limit Break,
more on that to follow.
Whilst trying to level up your 1-2 / 2-2 / 3-2 Limit it is highly recommended
that you have your characters inflicted with Fury, aswell as keeping them in
the front row. Cover works really well too. Once they have achieved the next
level it is recommended that you remove the Fury Status as it can sometimes
make the battle system a little fragmented. Whilst working towards your 2-1 /
3-1 Limit just concentrate on magic spells that will attack every character
like Matra Magic, Trine or All=Lightning (for example).
There are other ways to help to level up your Limits. Aeris's 2-2 Fury Brand
for example will completely fill up the other two characters Limit gauge to
the maximum, meaning you can fly through to your X-2 Limits in no time. The
Manipulate Materia is another great way to help with filling you Limit
gauges. Seeing as a character's gauge will not fill up at all if you select
another player to hit that character, being able to manipulate a powerful
enemy (like the Valron) to hit that character instead is the best way to
quickly fill up you Limit gauge.
Thanks to GideonD's Limit Break Mechanic FAQ I now know that the following
applies:
- Kills made using Odin's Steel Cutting Sword will *not* count towards your
your kill total.
- Kills made by poisoning an enemy will *not* count towards your kill total
provided that the enemy died due to the Status effects of the Poison.
- Kills made whilst initially casting Bio *will* count towards your kill
total.
- Kills made using an enemy that is manipulated will *not* count towards
your kill total.
- Kills made using Death Sentence will *not* count towards your kill total.
- Kills made using the spell Death *will* count towards your kill total.
- Kills made using Flash *will* count towards your kill total.
- Kills and Limit Break uses gained in the Battle Arena will *not* count
towards your kill total or your Limit Break use total.
- Bizarrely enough, if you mimic a Limit Break then the character that used
Mimic will be unable to perform the initial casters move, but it will
still count towards the mimickers Limit Break 'uses'.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.02 C - Best Places to Limit Train
1) Sector 4 Winding Tunnels
After playing the game from the start for roughly an hour or so you
will find yourself in the Winding Tunnels after having jumped off a
moving train (unscathed). North will be your destination, however south
will lead you to the only place in the game where you can encounter an
infinite amount of enemies, continuously, uninterrupted. No need to run
around in circles, you can simply select the option to fight the 3 x
Special Combatants as many times as you wish, or you can run away to
continue on with the mission.
The main drawback here is that you cannot readily heal yourself, nor
can you save the game in this area (once you continue on you will not
be able to revisit the area). So basically, once you have run out of
MP, Ethers and Potions you're screwed. Note that in the following area
you will eventually find your first Tent of the game (next to the save
point), so if you are desperate then you will have the chance to
completely restore yourself. You'll also find an Ether as soon as you
drop from the Winding Tunnels.
2) Mythril Mine (North-Western Cave)
After crossing the Midgar Zolom marsh on the back of a Chocobo you will
come to the Mythril Mine. Head left one screen, then head into the
northern cave. There are some fairly powerful foes here, such as the
Ark Dragon whose Flamethrower attack will pack a punch. You can also
encounter enemy formations in groups of 5, which is very useful indeed.
Elemental=Choco/Mog in someone's weapon is the best way to deal with
the Ark Dragon, All=Fire for the Castanets and All=Earth for the
Crawlers. Don't forget to steal as many Grand Gloves as possible from
the Madouge as they sell for 600 gil each.
3) Junon Area Forests
The 5 x Capparwire that you encounter here are awesome, as their Grand
Spark move will deliver quite a lot of damage, making this area one of
the best Limit training grounds on Disk 1 (in my opinion). The
Formulas carry Boomerangs which can be sold for 700 gil each, and
they can also hit all allies for medium damage with their Cross Impulse
move.
4) Mt. Corel Drawbridge Area
This is the same area where you can steal the 10 x Phoenix Downs. Here
you will encounter Search Crowns in formations of 5, you'll also find
the Bagnadrana which can deliver a fair amount of damage with their
Poison Breath. Both enemies are susceptible to L4 Suicide.
5) Under Junon ('T' Intersection)
After obtaining the buggy you can return to Junon by driving your buggy
into Costa Del Sol, then bribing the man at the docks to let you
stowaway in the cargo ship. Then head to the 'T' intersection in
between upper and lower Junon and head south to come to a red panel
near to where the troops are being drilled. Activate the panel to
sound the alarm which will enable random encounters. Here you will
engage with the strongest foes to date, the Death Machine and the
Slalom.
Although you'll only encounter enemies in groups of as much as 3, the
Death Machine can deliver a punch with its W Machine Gun attack. Make
sure to steal a few Smoke Bombs from the Slaloms aswell as they
massively help out at the Battle Arena. I wouldn't recommend training
here for too long though as they EXP gained here is way too high, and
if you power level here too much then you'll just end up making the
game way too easy.
6) Mt. Nibel (Inner Caves)
With enemy formations of 5 this is a great place to train, although the
EXP gained is a little high. The Dragon's Flamethrower (Enemy Skill) is
quite powerful, and the Kyuvilduns are weak against fire. Both enemies
are susceptible to L4 Suicide.
7) Nibel/Rocket Town Forests
This is without a doubt the best Limit training ground in the whole
game as the Battery Caps will come in groups of 6, which is the only
place in the game where you can randomly encounter enemies with a 6 x
formation. You can also manipulate the Valron to have it use its Dive
Kick move which is Gravity based; it will always take out 25% of your
max HP. It doesn't matter how far into the game you are, this should
always be your first choice to train your Limits.
{Level 4 Limit Breaks}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.02 D - Level 4 Limit Breaks
Each character's level 4 Limit Break must be learned by first obtaining a
special item called a Limit Break Manual, you must then unlock all 6 previous
Limit Breaks for that character before they can learn their ultimate Limit
Breaks. Vincent has only 3 Limit Breaks to unlock before he can learn his
level 4 Limit as he does not have X-2 Limits to learn. Cait Sith does not
have a level 4 Limit Break; in fact Cait Sith only has two Limits in total to
choose from (Dice and Slots).
Once you have obtained the Limit Manual you will be able to find it within
the 'Item' menu. If you try to use the manual on either a character that
isn't ready to use it yet, or on the wrong character entirely then you will
hear an error sound followed by a negative quote from that character, but if
he/she is ready to learn it then you will get a positive quote and a
'success' sound. The level 4 Limit will then be available to select in the
'Limit' menu.
Here is how to obtain each characters Level 4 Limit Manual:
Cloud - {Omnislash} (�OK, I got it!�)
(�I'm not too sure but...�)
(�Don't really care.�)
Obtained in the Battle Arena at the Gold Saucer. This prize is first
available in Disk 1 after you have obtained the Tiny Bronco and will
cost a whopping 51,200 BP, so you'd better refine your Super Dunk
skills if you want it that early on. Alternatively, come back once
you've obtained the Highwind to see the price reduced to 32,000 BP.
Barret - {Catastrophe} (�Heh! No sweat!�)
(�D-d-d-damn! My head hurts!�)
(�Got nuthin' to do with me!�)
Obtained after the Huge Materia quest in Mt. Corel on Disk 2. After
you have saved North Corel (or not) you can talk to the woman in the
house on the second floor to receive Barret's Catastrophe.
Tifa - {Final Heaven} (�Hmm, so that's it.�)
(�I'm not too sure, but...�)
(�I've got the wrong person.�)
Obtained on Disk 2 after you have Cloud back from Mideel. Head over
to Nibelheim to play on Tifa's piano, then play the notes:
X, Sq, Tr, L1+Tr, L1+Sq, X, Sq, Tr, L1+X, O, X, Sq, X
You will then receive a note from Tifa's mentor, along with her Level
4 Limit Manual, Final Heaven.
Aeris - {Great Gospel} (�This should be okay.�)
(�Not quite ready yet.�)
(�It isn't me.�)
Obtained on Disk 1 by firstly obtaining the Mythril which can then
be traded for the Great Gospel. Once you have escaped from the Corel
Prison on Disk 1 you will have the buggy, you can then return to
Junon by driving the buggy directly into Costa Del Sol, then
speaking to one of the sailors on the docks to travel back to
Junon. When you leave Junon you will be in your buggy, head towards
the larger forest and you'll find part of the river that can be
crossed, head over it and then travel north to find a secret cave.
Inside the cave you will find a sleeping man who will disclose to
you one of your battle stats. If he tells you a stat other than your
battle count then leave the cave and re-enter until he tells you how
many times you have fought. If the last two digits are identical
(i.e. 111, 255, 477 etc.) then he will give you one of two prizes.
If both digits are even then you will receive a Bolt Ring, if they
are odd however then you shall receive the Mythril.
You won�t be able to do anything with the Mythril until you have
obtained the Tiny Bronco, you can then visit the lone house south of
Gongaga to talk to the weapon seller. He will happily exchange the
contents of one of his boxes for the Mythril, the larger of the two
boxes contains a measly Gold Armlet (which can be bought from Rocket
Town for 2000 gil), however the smaller of the two chests on the 2nd
floor holds Aeris's Level 4 Limit Manual, the Great Gospel.
Red XIII - {Cosmo Memory} (�Right, I've got it!�)
(�I don't get it.�)
(�It has nothing to do with me�.)
Obtained on Disk 1 after defeating Lost Number in the Shinra Mansion
in Nibelheim. Cosmo Memory is the first Level 4 Limit Manual
available in the game, followed by Aeris's Great Gospel. In the
western wing of the 2nd floor of the Shinra Mansion you will find a
safe, enter the following combination:
Right 36, Left 10, Right 59, Right 97
You must not go past the correct digit or you will fail the sequence
and have to start over. Once the correct code has been entered you
will have to fight a boss, Lost Number who will drop Cosmo Memory.
Yuffie - {All Creation} (�Cool! This should do it!�)
(�Nope! I don't get it!�)
(�Oh wow, I'm totally clueless!�)
Obtained after completing Yuffie's optional sidequest in Wutai on
Disk 1. Once you have regained all of your Materia, equip Yuffie
with your best load out and head over to the large pagoda. Here you
can face 5 bosses. After defeating Godo, the final boss, you will
receive Yuffie's All Creation.
Cait Sith - N/A (�It's got nothing to do with me.�)
Cait Sith does not have a level 4 Limit.
Vincent - {Chaos} (�I'm becoming less human...�)
(�I'm still not ready.�)
(�It has nothing to do with me.�)
Obtained on Disk 2 after gaining Cloud back from Mideel. You will
need to then obtain a Chocobo that can climb mountains, or continue
on with the story until you have obtained the submarine. Directly
south of North Corel you fill find a closed off Lagoon, head to it
on your Chocobo to find Lucrecia's Cave. Alternatively you can dive
in you submarine and head north until you reach an underwater
ravine, then take a sharp left to come to a long underwater tunnel
which will lead to the aforementioned Lagoon.
Make sure that Vincent is in you party before entering the cave.
When you enter you will learn a bit about Vincent and his past. Then
head out of the cave and complete 10 random battles which cannot be
done in the grassy area outside of the cave as no enemies lurk
there. Once you're ready, head back into the cave to find that
Lucrecia has left Vincent's ultimate weapon, Death Penalty along
with his Level 4 Limit Manual, Chaos.
Cid - {Highwind} (�Hey I like this! Lemme use it!�)
(�Hmph, don't quite get it but...�)
(�Not me! Give it to someone else!�)
Obtained on Disk 2 once you have obtained the submarine. Head over to
the submarine dock near the Gold Saucer then submerge to find the
Sunken Gelnika. Be wary as sometimes Emerald Weapon is sitting
right in front of the crashed plane. You will find the Level 4 Limit
Manual in a chest in the Cargo Room.

] [
] Tifa's Limit Breaks are fairly unique in the sense that they will 'stack'. [
] When a new Limit is learned Tifa will still hit with all of her previous [
] Limits she has learned to date, including the new one learnt. When using [
] her Limit Break in-battle a fruit machine style slot game will initiate. [
] Stopping one of the reels on 'hit' will mean she will use that Limit for [
] normal damage, landing on 'miss' means that she will not use that Limit [
] at all and landing on 'yeah' will result in double damage for that Limit. [
] The later Limits will have 'yeah's' that are surrounded by 'miss's'. [
] [
] It's worth noting that you'll need to have her Limit Break set to the [
] level that you wish to learn for her Limit uses to count. Let's say you [
] had acquired 96 kills before using Beat Rush 9 times and you had then set [
] her Limit to level 2. The game would then stop counting the times that you [
] used Beat Rush and you would not be able to unlock Somersault until you [
] had set her Limit to level 1 again. Also, if you land on a 'miss' then the [
] game would not regard that as a use of that Limit and would not add one to [
] the Limit Break count. [

] the ability to fill your other two players Limit's gauge up to the max is [
] incredibly useful. Also, Aeris's Lv 4 Limit is available very early on in [

] [
] Red XIII's Limit's are mainly offensive with the exception of Lunatic High [
] and Howling Moon. The fact that Red XIII's Level 4 Limit Manual is [
] obtainable before any other characters is the reason I like to have him on [
] my team early-on alongside Aries. Given the strength of Cosmo Memory you [
] should be able to hit with 9999 damage whilst still being a relatively low [
] level. Once Red XIII starts to level up however I would recommend using [
] Earth Rave or even Stardust Ray seeing as the damage inflicted will [
] surpass Cosmo Memory's, not to mention the fact that the Limit gauge is [
] easier to fill at lower levels. Lunatic High is also great as it gives you [
] the ability to cast Haste early on in the game. [

] [
] With the exception of Clear Tranquil all of Yuffie's Limit Breaks are [
] offensive. As with Red XIII, Yuffie's level 4 Limit will hit for [
] tremendous damage and can be obtained relatively early on in the game [
] (after you have obtained the Tiny Bronco). As Yuffie levels up along with [
] her Attack power, I suggest reverting back to her 3-2 Doom of the Living [
] as it will deliver more overall damage whilst requiring less HP damage for [
] the Limit gauge to fill. [
] [
] Note that in order to obtain All Creation you must first beat the boss [
] Godo, and if you were to do so before obtaining the Enemy Skill Trine then [
] you may have jeopardised your chance to obtain the Materia Overlord [
] Achievement as Godo is one of three enemies that will use Trine. For what [
] it's worth, I suggest waiting until you have obtained the Highwind before [
] defeating Godo for the All Creation Limit Break Manual as so that you can [
] obtain Trine for all four Enemy Skill Materias. See section G.02 for more [
] info. [

] [
] Vincent, like Cait Sith has an unusual Limit Break system in more ways [
] than one. Firstly there is no X-2 to Vincent's Limit's, and secondly the [
] Limit's he uses can be very unpredictable. Similar to the Status Berserk, [
] you will lose control of Vincent for the remainder of the battle whilst he [
] transforms himself into a beast that is capable of performing deadly [
] attacks on your enemies. The biggest hindrance being that some of these [
] moves have Elemental properties, and you could find yourself healing your [
] foes instead of harming them. The two moves that have Elemental properties [
] are 1-1 Beast Flare which uses Fire and 2-1 Live Wire which uses [
] Lightning. [
] [
] When Vincent transforms his HP will be restored, however if Vincent were [
] to be killed during the battle then he would resort back to his former [
] self. Whilst transformed, you will not be able to choose which attack [
] Vincent uses; he will have a 70% chance of using is primary attack and a [
] 30% chance of using his secondary attack. He will also be immune to [
] Berserk, Confusion and Frog. [

| 1-1 {DICE} |
| default |
| +--------------------------------+ |
| | Rolls the dice, damage | |
| +--------------------------------+ |_____________________________________
| |
| Cait Sith starts off with 2 dice and every 10 levels he gains he |
| receives an extra die with a maximum of six. He will gain an extra dice |
| at level 30, 40, 50 & 60. |
| |
| The sum of the dice multiplied by the quantity of 'repeat' numbers |
| multiplied by 100 will be the resulting damage total to a single enemy. |
| So, if you were to roll 1,2,2,2,4,6 then the resulting damage would be |
| 17 x 3 x 100 = 5100 HP. 17 is the sum of the die and 3 is the amount of |
| times the number two landed, hence 17 x 3 x 100. |
| |
| 2 dice damage range - 300 to 2400. Average - 817 HP |
| 3 dice damage range - 600 to 5400. Average - 1546 HP |
| 4 dice damage range - 1000 to 9600. Average - 2554 HP |

| |
| Similar to Tifa's Limit only this time it's even more like a fruit |
| machine in the sense that you are aiming to match 3 slots together in a |
| row. If all 3 slots are different then Cait Sith will use Toy Box which |
| will cast one of 7 different basic attacks: |
| |
| Boulder - Single attack hitting one target for 2x normal damage |
| |
| Icicles - Single attack hitting one target for 2.5x normal damage |
| |
| Weight - Single attack hitting all targets for 3x normal damage |
| |
| Hammer - Single attack hitting one target for 3.5x normal damage |

| |
| Hell House - Single attack hitting one target for 4.5x normal damage |
| |
| Comets - Single attack hitting one target for 5x normal damage |
| |
| Should all three symbols match however then Cait Sith will use one of |
| his special attacks: |
| |
| 3 x STAR - Mog Dance: |
| The party's HP/MP & Status is fully restored. |
| |
| 3 x CROWN - Toy Soldier: |
| Single attack hitting all targets for 5x normal damage. |
| |
| 3 x BAR - Summon: |
| A random Summon will be used costing 0 MP. The higher the |
| level of Cait Sith, the higher the chance will be of getting |
| a better summon. |
| |
| 3 x MOG - Transform: |
| Cait Sith morphs with the other two characters to become one |
| big giant! His new stats are the combined stats of all three |
| players, without exceeding 9999HP, 999MP or 255 strength etc.|
| |
| 3 x HEART - Lucky Girl: |
| Every player will have 100% critical hits until the battle |
| ends or the character dies. |
| |
| 3 x CAIT SITH - Game Over: |
| All enemies are instantly killed provided that they |
| are attacking from the same side. Overrides Death |
| immunity, making Game Over very useful indeed. |
| |
| 2 x CAIT SITH, 1 x BAR - Death Joker: |

____________________________________________________________________________
] [
] Cait Sith is the only Character in the game that doesn't have a Level 4 [
] Limit Break. In fact, seeing as he has a move that can end the game [
] instantly, I'd say that Cait Sith is probably one of the more obsolete [
] characters in the game, although if you know how to use him correctly Cait [
] Sith could be regarded as an asset to your squad. Requiring only 60% to [
] fill his level 2 Limit (which is the least of all characters Lv 2 Limits), [
] Cait Sith's Slots offers a variety of 'random' goodies with the exception [
] of the Death Joker (save often if your using Cait Sith). Here's how to [
] manipulate the reels to land on the sequence your choice: [
] [
] The first trick to mention is the Square trick. By pressing square you [
] will stop the reels completely, and by repeatedly pressing square you can [
] slow the reels right down which will make it easier to memorise the [
] pattern. This trick can also be used whilst in the Battle Arena when [
] trying to land on a specific handicap, and can also be applied when using [
] Tifa's Limit Breaks. [
] [
] The main problem is the so called 'Evil Flag'. When the Evil Flag is [
] turned off then the second and third reel will automatically align [
] themselves to match the first symbol you landed on, provided that you [
] stopped the 2nd and 3rd reels within 5 symbols of the matching symbol. [
] When the Evil Flag is activated however, the 2nd and 3rd reel will stop [
] in the exact place that you selected it to, making it very difficult to [
] match up three symbols. To make it harder still, if you did manage to [
] align the first two symbols then the third reel will jump one place after [
] the one you selected. [
] [
] The Evil Flag's status is determined firstly by which symbol you have [
] landed on, and secondly by the internal game clock: [
] [
] - Crown - Evil Flag is off [
] - Star - Evil Flag is off [
] - BAR - Evil Flag is off if Game Time is divisible by 2 (50%) [
] - Mog - Evil Flag is off if Game Time is divisible by 2 (50%) [
] - Heart - Evil Flag is off if Game Time is divisible by 4 (25%) [
] - Cait Sith - Evil Flag is off if Game Time is divisible by 64 (1.5625%) [
] [
] Now to learn the reels themselves. Each reel has 16 symbols in the [
] following order: [
] [
] REEL 1: REEL 2: REEL 3: [
] [

] for the slots in the Battle Arena in the Gold Sauce seeing as the [

] down, and landing on the correct handicap will result in large amounts of [
] BP. [

| {E.04} - Cross Dressing Mechanics |
| {Cross Dressing Mechanics} |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
During section D1.04 B - Wall Market you will have to dress Cloud up as a
woman in order to proceed with the game, and you can vary the selection of
attire he wears. Depending on your selection, either Cloud, Tifa or Aeris
will be chosen to be Don Corneo's 'date' for the evening.
The minimum requirement to enter Don Corneo's mansion is just a dress and a
wig, however you could if you wished enter the mansion with a dress, wig,
cologne, tiara, underwear and make-up. Each choice you make will have an
effect on the scoring system, and your final score will affect the outcome:
2 - 11: Tifa will be chosen as Don's date
12 - 18: Aeris will be chosen as Don's date
19 - 25: Cloud will be chosen as Don's date
Having Cloud chosen will unlock PS4 users the Consummate Cross-dresser Trophy.
Here is how the scoring system works:
{DRESS}
+5 - Silk Dress (Soft, Shimmers)
+3 - Satin Dress (Soft, Shiny)
+1 - Cotton Dress (Clean)
{WIG}
+5 - Blonde Wig (Beat Big Bro)
+3 - Dyed Wig (Draw with Big Bro)
+1 - Wig (Lose to Big Bro)
{COLOGNE}
+5 - Sexy Cologne (Digestive)
+3 - Flower Cologne (Deodorant)
+1 - Cologne (Disinfectant)
{TIARA}
+5 - Diamond Tiara (200 gil)
+3 - Ruby Tiara (100 gil)
+1 - Glass Tiara (50 gil)
{UNDERWEAR}
+0 - Bikini Briefs (Group Room)
+0 - Lingerie (&$#% Room)
Note - The Bikini Briefs were supposed to grant you +5, the Mystery Panties
was supposed to grant you +3 and the Lingerie was supposed to grant
you +1 but for unknown reasons the scoring system along with the
Mystery Panties was phased out of the final game.
{MAKE-UP}
+5 - 25% chance (Wind sound, difficult to hear)
+3 - 38% chance (Healing sound)
+1 - 38% chance ('Tink' sound)

--E.05 A - About Elements
Elements are a recurring theme for the Final Fantasy series. The most
notorious of these are Fire, Ice and Lightning, and many enemies will have
Elemental attributes that will affect the way the battle system plays out.
The 4 variables are:
Absorb - The damage dealt will be absorbed.
Nullify - The damage dealt will be 0.
Halve - The damage dealt will be halved
Double - The damage dealt will be doubled.
There are nine basic Elements in Final Fantasy VII and a number of obscure
Elements that will be detailed further on. In the order that they are
obtainable these 9 Elements are:
Lightning Ice Fire Poison Earth Wind Water Gravity Holy
LHT ICE FRE PSN ERT WND WTR GRV HLY
All of the Elemental attributes of all enemies are listed area-by-area
throughout the walkthrough using the abbreviations as shown above. You should
always try to use Elements that an enemy is weak against whilst veering away
from Elements that an enemy is strong against. Remember that by using the
Elemental Materia you can protect yourself from Elemental attacks by
equipping it to your armour, and you can also add an Element onto your basic
physical attacks by equipping it to your weapon. More on the Elemental
Materia below.
It's important to note that Poison is also a Status, however an enemy�s
Elemental strength/weakness to poison will not correlate to the enemies
immunity/vulnerability to the poison Status, although a mastered Elemental
Materia placed in your armour paired with Poison *will* protect you from both
the Element and the Status Poison.
A few other things to point out - nearly all Bosses are immune to Gravity,
with the exception of the Midgar Zolom, Godo and Emerald Weapon. Similarly,
virtually all flying creatures are weak against Wind but will nullify Earth
based attacks. Also, Vincent's Level 1 Limit Break, Galian Beast, has an
attack called Beast Flare that will hit with Fire damage, and his Level 2
Limit Death Gigas has an attack called Live Wire that will hit with Lightning
damage. Yuffie's 2-1 Limit Break is Earth based.
Lastly, there are more Elements in play than the basic 9 as listed above, the
most notable being the Restorative Element (RES). See the Obscure Elements
below for more details.
{Elemental}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.05 B - Elemental Materia
The Elemental Materia is easily one of the most under-rated Materias in the
game and is easily missed during the assault on the Shinra HQ early on in the
game. There are 3 in total to collect:
1) D1.06 A - Fight or Flight of Stairs
Floor 62. Whilst speaking to the Mayor you can obtain the Elemental
Materia by guessing his password on the first try; the password is
different from game to game. The most simple way to do this would be to
save just before talking to him, then guessing until you get the correct
password. Finally, reload your save then talk to the Mayor selecting the
correct password on the first try for the Elemental Materia.
2) D1.15 C - Mt. Nibel
During your travels you will eventually come to the same place where Cloud
and Sephiroth and co. stopped to admire a Lifestream fountain. Five years
later the energy from the fountain will have formed into the Elemental
Materia.
3) D1.07 B - The Nibelheim Incident
During the flashback from 5 years ago you must enter into Tifa's house and
interact with her piano in the second floor. Make sure to 'jam on it'
otherwise you won't be able to retrieve the 3rd and final Elemental
Materia.
D2.05 D - Playing Tifa's Piano in Nibelheim
You can only do this whilst playing as Tifa on Disk 2 just after you've
received the Highwind. Interact with her piano once more to receive the
Elemental Materia so long as you followed the prerequisite as above.
Pairing the Elemental Materia to another piece of Materia that has an
Elemental attribute will either protect you from the Element, or make your
physical attacks hit with that Element, depending on whether you have
equipped the Materias onto you armour or weapon, respectively.
When you place the Elemental Materia in your weapon, the level of the
Elemental will not vary the effect of the attack, however when placed in your
armour the current level of the Elemental will vary the effect. At level 1
you will take halve the damage of the Element that it is paired with, at
level 2 you will nullify the damage and at level 3 you will absorb the
damage. Remember that you can view your current Elemental strengths in the
'Status' menu; press confirm to scroll through the three tabs.
NOTE - Pairing Fire with the Elemental on your armour is the only way to
obtain the Enemy Skill Beta from the Midgar Zolom at a low level
(along with the Status Sadness).
Remember that some Summons also have Elemental properties. Below is a list of
every 'pairable' Materia:
ELEMENT: | MAGIC: | SUMMON:
| |
Lightning | Lightning | Ramuh
Ice | Ice | Shiva
Fire | Fire | Ifrit, Phoenix
Poison | Poison | --------
Earth | Earth | Titan
Wind | --------- | Choco/Mog, Typoon
Water | --------- | Leviathan
Gravity | Gravity | ---------
Holy | --------- | Alexander
- It is recommended that you equip the Elemental Materia with Lightning as
soon as you obtain it seeing as many enemies in the Shinra HQ are weak
against lightning.
- Once you receive the Choco/Mog Materia in the Chocobo ranch you can switch
to Wind based attacks seeing as a large amount of enemies from that point
on are 'flying', meaning they will beak weak vs Wind but strong vs Earth.
- The Great Glacier on Disk 2 is home to many creatures that are weak
against Fire.
Remember that it is always advisable to pair a Summon as opposed to Magic
with your Elemental Materia seeing as you are not penalised as much.
Lightning will have the following effect on your stats:
Strength -1, Magic +1, Max HP -2%, Max MP +2%.
Ramuh will *not* affect your strength but will affect your Magic, Max HP and
Max MP by the same values.
Below is a chart depicting the quantity of enemies that are weak and strong
against each Element:
+----------------------------------+ +--------+
| Absorb | Nullify | Halve | Total | | Double |
+-----------+--------+---------+-------+-------| |--------|
| Fire | 12 | 4 | 12 | 28 | | 15 |
|-----------+--------+---------+-------+-------| |--------|
| Ice | 11 | 5 | 5 | 21 | | 8 |
|-----------+--------+---------+-------+-------| |--------|
| Lightning | 7 | 5 | 3 | 15 | | 28 |
|-----------+--------+---------+-------+-------| |--------|
| Earth | 4 | 52 | 3 | 59 | | 4 |
|-----------+--------+---------+-------+-------| |--------|
| Poison | 17 | 6 | 0 | 23 | | 2 |
|-----------+--------+---------+-------+-------| |--------|
| Gravity | 0 | 70 | 12 | 82 | | 5 |
|-----------+--------+---------+-------+-------| |--------|
| Water | 5 | 18 | 5 | 28 | | 4 |
|-----------+--------+---------+-------+-------| |--------|
| Wind | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | 29 |
|-----------+--------+---------+-------+-------| |--------|
| Holy | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | 10 |
+----------------------------------------------+ +--------+
So you can see that Wind, Lightning and Holy are the favourable Elements to
equip with the Elemental onto your weapon, whilst Earth, Gravity, Water and
Fire should be avoided, with the exception of certain areas (like the Great
Glacier).
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.05 C - Obscure Elements
There are 7 Elements that go relatively unknown, these are:
RESTORATIVE CUT HIT PUNCH SHOOT SHOUT HIDDEN
It is suspected that the developers had initially intended for every single
physical attack to use the Element Cut, Hit, Punch, Shoot or Shout, and
certain enemies would have varying strengths/weaknesses to these 'Physical'
Elements. Even though they had decided in the end that it was too
complicated, there are still a few enemies that are weak against certain
Elements (like the Desert Sahagin which is weak against Punch). Nearly all of
the characters weapons will conform to one of these Elements and a vast
majority of enemies will use attacks with one of these properties, however
Restorative and Hidden work slightly differently.
NOTE - The Ziedrich is a piece of armour that will halve all Elemental
attacks, and this includes any of the above Elements excluding
Restorative and Hidden. The Ziedrich is considered to be one of the
best defensive armour in the game, the drawback being that it doesn't
have any Materia slots.
{Restorative}:
If an enemy is weak against the Element Holy then there is a strong chance
that the enemy will also absorb the Restorative Element, which means that
curative items and spells will harm the enemy as opposed to healing it (the
double positive makes a negative). Enemies that conform to this would be
considered 'Undead', and this is a familiar trait with the Final Fantasy
series.
Of all 10 enemies that are weak against Holy, only two of them do *not*
absorb the Restorative Element, and these two are Soul Fire and Parasite.
It's worth noting that pairing Elemental with Restore will have no effect
whatsoever. Also, using items such as Ethers and Turbo Ethers will deplete
your opponents MP, and casting a Megalixir/Elixir/X-Potion or Phoenix Down
will cause instant Death to your opponent. Regen is *not* of the restorative
Element and therefore it won't act to gradually deplete your opponents HP.
More on Restorative below.
{Cut}:
The Cut Element is primarily attributed to attacks that 'slice' such as
swords, namely all of Cloud's weapons, one of Barret's and one of Cid's.
There are 36 enemy attacks that use the Cut Element.
{Hit}:
Hit is one of the most used Physical attacks in the game, and is primarily
attributed to attacks that use blunt force such as clubs or batons. Most of
Tifa's weapons, some of Barret's, all of Aeris's, most of Red XIII, all of
Cait Sith's and one of Cid's use the Hit Element. There are 103 enemy
attacks that use the Hit Element.
{Punch}:
Surprisingly enough, Tifa's attacks do not conform to the Punch Element.
Thrust would have been a more appropriate title seeing as attacks that
penetrate fall under the Punch Element, such as daggers and spears. 3 of
Barret's weapons, two of Tifa's and most of Cid's fall under the Punch
category. 31 enemy attacks use the Punch Element.
Some enemies will be weak against Punch, such as the Desert Sahagin found
near Cosmo Canyon. When you attack it with one of Cid's weapons, you will
not do double damage, rather, you will have a 100% attack rate instead. The
same applies to the Sahagin and the Ceasar found in Sector 6 Sewers. Thanks
to NFITC1 for clarifying some of that up.
{Shoot}:
All attacks that are made from a distance are considered to be of the
Element Shoot, such as guns or shurikens. Most of Barret's weapons, one of
Red XIII's, all of Yuffie's and all of Vincent's are considered to be of the
Element Shoot. 82 enemy attacks fall under the Shoot Element.
{Shout}:
Attacks that are made through sound are considered to be Shout, and weirdly
enough that doesn't mean Cait Sith (probably because Cait's in-battle
animation is to hit his target as opposed to shout at it). No allies use
Shout and only 12 enemy attacks fall under the Shout Element.
{Hidden}:
Interestingly enough, Hidden isn't actually called Hidden, it just the title
that has been dubbed for this Element seeing as it doesn't actually have a
name. It is also sometimes referred to as 'The 10th Element'. Obviously this
Element was intended to be removed from the final cut of the game, but like
many other 'elements' (or fragments) of the game this was slightly hurried
and was probably left in the game due to time pressure.
To protect yourself from Hidden you would need to pair Elemental with any
*non* Elemental Materia, with the exception of Restore and any Support
(blue) Materia. So, if you were to link Elemental=Luck Plus (for example) on
your armour then you would then be protected from any attacks that use the
Hidden Element. Seeing as there are no enemies that are weak against Hidden,
linking Elemental=(Hidden) to your weapon would be pointless.
In the Japanese original version of the game there were 15 direct attacks
that used the Hidden Element, but in the later SCEA/SCEE (or NTSC/PAL)
versions all but one of these moves had the Hidden Element removed from
their attacks. The attack that was left in the game was Ultimate WEAPON's
'Ultima Beam', and you can still absorb/nullify/halve the effects of this
attack by protecting yourself from Hidden. There are also a number of
passive attacks that use Hidden such as Status changes and Status
protection, however you cannot defend yourself from a 'Hidden' attack if no
damage is being directly dealt.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.05 D - The Elements Themselves
Below you will find a complete run-down of every appearance of each
Element, from equippable Materia to battle items to enemy attributes. It is
important to note that several attacks/Summons will yield more than one
Elemental property, which isn't always a good thing due to the fact that if
an enemy can absorb one of the Elements then the entire attack will be
absorbed (or nullifies, or halved).
Magic Breath - Enemy Skill. Hits with Lightning, Ice & Fire
Kjata - Summon. Hits with Lightning, Ice & Fire
Typoon - Summon. Hits with Lightning, Ice, Fire & Earth
It is also important to note that while Choco/Mog may be a Wind based
Materia, when you cast Choco/Mog in battle neither of its attacks will be
Wind based. You will only be able to utilise the Wind Element when pairing
Choco/Mog with the Elemental Materia. The same goes for Typoon, even though
it is classed as a Wind Based Materia, when used in-battle it will not attack
with Wind.
Lastly, due to the complexity of Bizarro-Sephiroth's varying forms I haven't
included any of his Elemental strengths/weaknesses in the following data,
however I have included his Elemental attacks.
+---------------------+
| {FIRE}: FRE |
+---------------------+
There are 15 enemies that are weak against Fire and 28 enemies that are
strong against Fire. The best time to equip Fire would be in the Great
Glacier early on in Disk 2. Vincent's Level 1 Limit Break, Galian Beast uses
a move called Beast Flare which is Fire based. Ifrit is the only Fire based
Summon in the game and uses an attack called Hellfire.
Fire is first available from the Materia Shop in Sector 7, but will also be
obtained via Red XIII's initial equipment whilst raiding the Shinra HQ.
Notable Fire based enemies include Motor Ball, Ark Dragon, Bomb, Soul Fire,
Dragon, Foulander and Grenade.

There are 8 enemies that are weak against Ice and 21 enemies that are strong
against Ice. The majority of Fire based creatures are vulnerable to Ice,
which unfortunately are few and far between. Shiva is the only Ice Summon in
the game and can damage all foes with her Diamond Dust move.
Ice is initially equipped on Cloud at the beginning of the game, and is
available from most Materia Shops in Midgar. Notable Ice based enemies
include Boundfat, Snow, Ice Golem, Lessaloploth and Icicle.

| POISON : PSN | {Poison Element}
+-----------------------+
There are 2 enemies that are weak against Poison and 23 enemies that are
strong against Poison. Whilst the Poison Element and the Poison Status are
completely separate, there are instances where the two are linked. For
example, a mastered Elemental paired with Poison in ones armour will also
defend against the Status Poison. Similarly, if you were to pair the Added
Effect Materia with Poison you would also nullify the Elemental damage.
Poison is first available from a chest in Hojo's Laboratory in the Shinra HQ
and can then be bought from Kalm. Notable Poison based creatures include
Brain Pod, Zenene, Flower Prong, Slalom and Malboro.

+------------------------+
| {GRAVITY}: GRV |
+------------------------+
There are 5 enemies that are weak against Gravity and a whopping 82 enemies
that are strong against Gravity. Seeing as the majority of Bosses are immune
to Gravity based attacks (46 to be precise) Demi should be avoided, unless of
course you're in a regular battle; in which case Gravity can be quite useful.
The nature of Gravity is that it doesn't deal direct damage, instead it deals
damage that is proportionate to ones max HP, meaning a tough enemy can be
made not so tough using the right Gravity based attack (such as Laser, which
is identical to Demi2).
Demi will drain 1/4 of your opponents max HP, Demi2 & Laser will drain 1/2 of
your opponents Max HP and Demi3 will drain 3/4 of your opponents max HP,
without breaking the 9999 cap. Emerald WEAPON is one of the few Bosses to
Halve Gravity as opposed to completely nullifying it, meaning you can still
use Gravity to inflict 9999 each hit. Pairing Gravity with the Elemental
Materia on your weapon will only make your physical attacks deal double
damage against enemies weak to Gravity, your attacks won�t become completely
Gravity based if that makes sense; you won�t start attacking for damage
proportionate to your targets Max HP.
You can first obtain a Gravity based attack when you reach Corel Prison by
learning Laser from Death Claw, you can then obtain the Gravity Materia when
you reach the Cave of The Gi. Notable Gravity based creatures include Valron.
That's it, just Valron.

There are 4 enemies that are weak against Water and 28 enemies that are
strong against Water making Water a terrible Element to use. The only Water
based Summon is Leviathan who uses a move called Tidal Wave.
You can first obtain a Water based attack when you reach the Gold Saucer Area
by learning Aqualung from the Harpy. Notable Water based creatures include
Sahagin, Desert Sahagin, Jenova-LIFE, Acrophies and Serpent.

| {WIND}: WND |
+---------------------+
There are 29 enemies that are weak against Wind and 1 enemy that is strong
against Wind, making Wind probably the best Element to have in the game. All
flying creatures are weak against Wind, whilst at the same time being strong
against Earth. Although Choco/Mog's in-battle attacks are non-elemental, you
will still be able to pair it with the Elemental Materia for Wind based
attacks/defence. The same applies for Typoon.
You can first obtain a Wind based Materia (Choco/Mog) at the Chocobo Ranch.
It is recommended that you equip it straight away as a lot of enemies from
that point onwards will be weak against Wind. Notable Wind based creatures
include Formula, Zuu & Tonadu (although all will be weak vs Wind).

| {HOLY}: HLY |
+---------------------+
There are 10 enemies that are weak against Holy and 1 enemy that is strong
against Holy. Enemies that are weak against Holy are usually regarded as
Undead, but not always. Annoyingly enough, by the time you obtain the only
Holy based Materia in the game you'll have already encountered the majority
of enemies that are weak to Holy. The Materia in question is Alexander, and
can rain damage with his attack 'Judgement'.
The important thing to note is to not confuse Holy with the Restorative
Element. *Most* enemies that are weak against Holy will also absorb the
Restorative Element, meaning that Potions and other healing moves will harm
your enemy. Most, but not all. The Parasite for example (North Crater) and
the Soul Fire (Cave of The Gi) will take double damage should you pair
Alexander with Elemental on your weapon, while Curative items and spells will
just heal them normally.
It's also worth pointing out that not a single enemy contains an attack that
is Holy based, so the Holy Nullifying effect of the Minerva Band is
effectively pointless. You can first obtain the only Holy based Summon,
Alexander whilst traversing through the Great Glacier on Disk 2. There are no
Holy based creatures in the game.

There are 8 enemies in the game that can absorb the Restorative Element, and
as such can be harmed by healing moves and items. These enemies are generally
considered to be 'Undead' creatures. Notable Undead creatures include Ghost,
Gi Nattak and Dragon Zombie.
Note that casting White Wind on Undead creatures will deal damage equal to
the casters current HP, whilst at the same time causing Petrify.

|____________________________________________________________________________|
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.06 A - Fort Condor Itself
Fort condor is basically a Shinra Reactor with a giant Condor 'nesting' its
egg upon the top of it! FC can be found in Junon Area and can fist be visited
just after exiting the Mythril Mines. Although FC is a completely optional
mini-quest, you will have to visit FC as part of the story line mid-way
through Disk 2. FC also serves as a brilliant resting spot whilst attempting
to recruit Yuffie (see section E.07), or whilst training in the Forests near
Junon which serve as an excellent training spot when you first arrive in this
area.
When you first enter Fort Condor you will have some dialogue that will affect
certain players 'rating' towards you (see section E.01). You will be asked if
you're willing to assist a small rebel faction take stand against the Shinra
to protect the Condor (of course you're going to say yes) and its egg, once
you have accepted you will then be able to make use of the beds on the lower-
right floor along with the save point (for free). You can also make use of
the shops on the upper-right floor.
Here is what you can buy from Fort Condor:
DISC 1:
+-------------------------+ +--------------------------+
| ITEM SHOP | | MATERIA SHOP |
|-------------------------| |--------------------------|
| Potion | 50 gil | | Fire | 600 gil |
| Phoenix Down | 300 gil | | Lightning | 600 gil |
| Hyper | 100 gil | | Ice | 600 gil |
| Tranquilizer | 100 gil | | Restore | 750 gil |
| Tent | 500 gil | |____________|_____________|
|______________|__________|
DISC 2 & 3:
+-------------------------+ +--------------------------+
| ITEM SHOP | | MATERIA SHOP |
|-------------------------| |--------------------------|
| Potion | 50 gil | | Throw | 10,000 gil |
| Phoenix Down | 300 gil | | Manipulate | 10,000 gil |
| Ether | 1500 gil | | Deathblow | 10,000 gil |
| Hyper | 100 gil | | Destruct | 9000 gil |
| Tranquilizer | 100 gil | | All | 20,000 gil |
| Tent | 500 gil | |_____________|____________|
| S-Mine | 1000 gil |
|______________|__________|
On the upper-left shack you'll be able to view the Condor and its egg by
sitting at the viewpoint. You can also talk to the man there that will
trigger a Shinra attack, allowing you to take part in the Fort Condor Mini-
Game.
Before engaging in battle you must have 4000 gil as a reserve in your wallet.
If you wanted to you could just let the FC faction 'handle it themselves',
but to do this they must have 3000 gil in their wallet. Select 'Contribute
gil' to see how much funding they currently have, and to donate amounts of
500, 1000, 2000, 3000 or 5000 gil. You will not receive any battle prizes
this way, and therefore this is a pointless way to defeat the Shinra.
NOTE - There will be battles that will be impossible to win seeing as you
won�t actually be able to take part in them for various reasons. These
battles will be considered as 'won' provided the faction had enough
gil to fight the Shinra, so make sure to donate at some point! No
prizes will be given for these battles however.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.06 B - The Prizes
There are some pretty decent prizes up for grabs, but you must win the mini-
game in order to win the prize; the game is considered 'lost' if one of the
enemies makes it to the shack, resulting in a mandatory battle with the CMD.
Grand Horn. Also, the battles themselves are usually only available for a
small window, and are very easy to miss completely.
If you were to lose/miss a battle then it is worth noting that you would not
lose the prize that was available, rather you would lose the final prize (if
that makes sense). So, let's say you took part in and won 10 battles, but you
had missed 3 of them along the way then your prize for your 10th battle would
be the same prize for the 10th battle, and *not* the 13th battle.
NOTE - The final 'mandatory' battle is the only battle that is *not*
considered lost if the CMD. Grand Horn reaches the shack; you'll still
be able to retrieve the prizes (Huge Materia and Phoenix Materia).
This is actually the recommended strategy as he'll drop the Imperial
Guard, which is an awesome piece of armour.

| in order to obtain the Imperial Guard. |
| Enemies - 45 |
| Prize - Huge Materia, Phoenix Materia, Imperial Guard |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
For the final fight you will not need to have 4000 gil as a reserve. Also, if
you were to lose to the CMD. Grand Horn then you would not be met with a
'Game Over' screen, instead you would just be kicked out of Fort Condor
forever, also losing the Huge Materia. If this happens then you can still
obtain the Phoenix Materia from Bone Village, see section E.12 for more info.
NOTE - Although many of the items look fairly basic it is definitely worth
completing at least 7 battles to obtain Yuffie's Superball, Red
XIII's Magic Comb and the Peace Ring (the Peace Ring will massively
help out at the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim).
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.06 C - About The Battles
Including the final battle there are 15 battles to be fought. In order to
succeed you must defend yourself against a horde of Shinra that will try to
make their way up the side of the Reactor. If any single enemy makes it to
the shack at the top then you have lost the battle and will have to fight the
CMD. Grand Horn. To win you must defeat all enemies that appear, including
the Commander that appears at the very end.
NOTE - It is possible to avoid fighting the Commander. If you were to defeat
every single enemy that is in play before the Commander was to show
up then you will win the battle automatically, regardless of how far
into the battle you are; to do this you would have to go all out on
the offensive. Similarly, if the Commander were to appear and you
were able to defeat him then the battle would end instantly,
regardless of how many other enemies were still left in play.
Before the battle begins you will be given the opportunity to place as many
units as you please (with a limit of 20), provided you have enough gil as
placing units down will cost you. This is why a 4000 gil reserve is necessary
to take part. You will only be able to plant your units roughly half way down
the field, a red line will indicate how far down you can go. You will also be
able to plant down units mid-battle, so you don't have to spend a bucket-load
before the battle has begun (I usually just plant 3).
**Any remaining units that are still alive at the end of the battle will be
refunded to you at 200 gil per unit, regardless of how much they initially
cost.
Once you have your starting line ready you can begin the game with X. Once
the battle has begun you can speed up the game by pressing R1 and slow it
down using L1, a white indicator at the bottom right hand side of the screen
will indicate the current game speed. The bar on the left hand side will
indicate how many enemies and allies are on the field along with the how far
up the Reactor the enemy is; once the enemy is roughly 7/8ths of the way up a
'warning' indicator will start flashing. Make sure to plant some units by the
shack if this happens. Note that you can also pause the game using Start.
To give a unit a command simply click and point to send one of your units
marching downhill towards the enemy. As your troops move downhill so will the
'red line', meaning you can plant fresh units right in the middle of the
battle ground if you wish. When a unit encounters an enemy a turn-based
battle will begin. You can take part manually by pressing confirm when
prompted, or you can let it play out automatically by pressing cancel
(recommended). By letting the battle play out automatically you will have the
time to keep your eye on what's going on over the whole playing field, you
can also try slowing down the speed whilst making decisions then speeding it
back up again when you're ready to proceed.
When it comes to choosing which units to select there should only be 3 that
you are interested in - The Attacker, The Defender and The Shooter. Think of
it as Rock, Paper Scissors; the three enemy types that you will encounter
(aside from the Commander) are Beast, Barbarian and Wyvern.
Attacker - Defeats Beast - Defeated by Barbarian - Cost 420 gil
Defender - Defeats Barbarian - Defeated by Wyvern - Cost 440 gil
Shooter - Defeats Wyvern - Defeated by Beast - Cost 520 gil
The Attacker moves the quickest, The Defender hits the strongest and The
Shooter can hit from afar. Also, The Fighter costs 400 gil, and while it has
no strengths/weaknesses it does hit for quite a lot and has decent HP. An
enemy that is weak against one of your units will receive double damage from
that unit whilst at the same time only delivering half damage, and vice-
versa. All of the other units aren't really that great, but can be used to
help you out if you wish. As you progress and complete more battles new types
of deployable units will become available, but as long as you know what
you're doing you should only ever have to rely on the 3 units as mention
above.
Here is a list of each unit available:
_________________ __________ _______ _____ _______ ___________ ___________
| UNIT | COST | POWER | HP | RANGE | STRONG VS | WEAK VS |
|-----------------+----------+-------+-----+-------+-----------+-----------|
| {Fighter} | 400 gil | 30 | 200 | 1 | N/A | N/A |

|-----------------+----------+-------+-----+-------+-----------+-----------|
| {Fire Catapult} | 600 gil | 25 | 120 | 1 - 6 | N/A | N/A |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
NOTE - The Tristoner is available after you have completed your 4th battle
and the Fire Catapult is available after you have completed your 7th
battle. They will both be available for the final battle regardless
of whether or not you'd previously unlocked them.
A repairer will heal an ally for 10 HP per move. A worker will place a bomb
to surprise the enemy (allies cannot be harmed by bombs). The bottom 4 units
will all hit enemies from a distance, and are fairly useless although there
are times that their range comes in handy.
Here is a list of enemy units:
_____________ _______ _____ _______ ___________ __________
| UNIT | POWER | HP | RANGE | STRONG VS | WEAK VS |
|-------------+-------+-----+-------+-----------+----------|
| {Beast} | 25 | 180 | 1 | Shooter | Attacker |
|-------------+-------+-----+-------+-----------+----------|
| {Barbarian} | 15 | 130 | 1 - 3 | Attacker | Defender |
|-------------+-------+-----+-------+-----------+----------|
| {Wyvern} | 20 | 140 | 1 | Defender | Shooter |
|-------------+-------+-----+-------+-----------+----------|
| {Commander} | 60 | 230 | 1 | N/A | N/A |

--E.06 D - Battle Strategies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
STRATEGY 1:- The Impatient '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is basically the quickest and most offensive way to end the game and is
the strategy I always use. It is also the most proficient way to defeat the
Shinra.
1.) Before the battle begins place 3 Attackers as far down as they you can,
spread evenly across the field (Attackers move the quickest).
2.) When the battle begins slow the speed right down then select each unit to
move down towards the enemy. Speed the battle up again.
3.) Just before the troops engage each other, deploy some units that match
the enemies weaknesses. Try not to over-populate the field; leave some
space for new units to be placed.
4.) The idea is to completely over-run the enemy. As soon as they appear they
are overwhelmed, and if the strategy is executed correctly then you
should have won the battle in no time, ages before the Commander even
appears.
5.) If the Commander does appear then select every unit in play to gang up
upon him, but try to do so all at the same time. If anything, pull back
certain units as so that they don't get wiped out, then when all of your
units are close enough to him have every single one of them rush the
Commander and he'll drop in no time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
STRATEGY 2:- The Conservationist '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the most defensive strategy, and while not being the quickest or
cheapest it sure is the safest way to win.
1.) Before the battle begins set up a line of Fighters, Shooters, Stoners,
Tristoners, Catapults and Fire Catapults.
2.) Once the battle has begun speed up the gauge all the way and just let the
enemy come to you.
3.) As the enemy draws near make sure to deploy a few units that match the
enemies weaknesses, although they should be fairly weakened by the time
they engage you, provided you have placed all of your long ranged
artillery in strategically advantageous spots.
4.) Don't be afraid to use a few Repairers seeing as they'll have enough time
to do some healing, just don't forget to command them to do so.
5.) As with Strategy 1, when the Commander arrives have every ally cluster
together whilst waiting for him to approach, then when he is close enough
have every unit attack him. With Catapults, Stoners etc. he should fall
without too much trouble.
Here are the enemy formations as they appear, this should help you with the
first two strategies (credit goes to Absolute Steve as the source):

| Beast | --------- | STRATEGY 3:- The 'Can't Be Bothered' '~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Barbarian | --------- |
| --------- | Wyvern | 1.) Before the battle begins, do nothing!
| --------- | Beast |
| --------- | Barbarian | 2.) When the battle begins speed up the gauge all
| --------- | Wyvern | the way. Do nothing else.
| --------- | Beast |
| --------- | Barbarian | 3.) When the enemy reaches the shack, defeat the
| Barbarian | Barbarian | CMD. Grand Horn. That's it!
| Barbarian | Barbarian |
| Barbarian | Barbarian | This strategy is only recommended for two things.
| Beast | Beast | Firstly, there is a very difficult to obtain item
| Beast | Beast | called the Vagyrisk Claw, and although it can be
| Beast | Beast | stolen from an enemy called Bagrisk it is much
| Wyvern | Wyvern | easier to obtain by defeating a low level CMD.
| Wyvern | Wyvern | Grand Horn. Just remember that you will not
| Wyvern | --------- | receive the prize for that battle if you opt to do
| --------- | CMD | this.
|___________|___________|
Secondly, when you are obtaining the Huge Materia you can acquire a very good
piece of armour called the Imperial Guard from the CMD. Grand Horn Lv 37, and
unlike the previous battles you *will* receive the prizes up for grabs if you
lose the Fort Condor Battle, which is the Huge Materia and the Phoenix
Materia. You must defeat the CMD. Grand Horn however or you would be forever
banned from re-entering Fort Condor!
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| CMD. GRAND HORN |
| |
| Here is what the CMD. Grand Horn's stats look like: |
| |
| #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~# |
| > [CMD. [CMD. [CMD. < |
| > GRAND HORN Lv 19] GRAND HORN Lv 25] GRAND HORN Lv 37] < |
| > < |
| > ------Lv: [--------------19] [--------------25] [--------------37] < |
| > ------HP: [------------2000] [------------4000] [------------8000] < |
| > ------MP: [-------------100] [-------------200] [-------------300] < |
| > -----EXP: [-------------200] [-------------400] [-------------800] < |
| > ------AP: [--------------20] [--------------40] [--------------80] < |
| > -----GIL: [------------2400] [------------4800] [------------9600] < |
| > ----DROP: [---Vagyrisk Claw] [----------------] [--Imperial Guard] < |
| #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~# |
| |
| The CMD. Grand Horn Lv 37 will only be fought during the final battle for |
| the Huge Materia, and cannot be fought prior to this battle. |
| |
| |
| There are the 3 varying factors that contribute to whether you fight CMD. |
| Grand Horn Lv 19 or Lv 25. |
| In the order that they are taken into consideration: |
| |
| - The number of party members in the team |
| - The Average party level. |
| - The battle rank alongside the quantity of enemies you killed in the Fort |
| Condor Battle before an enemy reached the shack. |
| |
| If there are less than 3 members in the team then you will always face |
| the Lv 19 CMD. Grand Horn. This will take place during battles 2 & 3. |
| |
| If the average party level is below 19 then you will always face the |
| level 19 CMD. Grand Horn. If the average party level is above 25 then |
| you will always face the CMD. Grand Horn level 25. |
| |
| If your average party level is between 19 - 25 then the battle ranking |
| system comes into play: |
| |
| |
| Battles 1-3 - Rank 1 - CMD. Grand Horn Lv 19 is always fought. |
| |
| Battles 4-6 - Rank 2 - CMD. Grand Horn Lv 19 is fought if 15+ enemies have |
| been killed, otherwise a CMD. Grand Horn Lv 25 is |
| fought. |
| |
| Battles 7-9 - Rank 3 - CMD. Grand Horn Lv 19 is fought if 20+ enemies have |
| been killed, otherwise a CMD. Grand Horn Lv 25 is |
| fought. |
| |
| Battles 10+ - Rank 4 - CMD. Grand Horn Lv 19 is fought if 25+ enemies have |
| been killed, otherwise a CMD. Grand Horn Lv 25 is |
| fought. |
| |
| For some reason Aeris's level is not counted when finding the parties |
| average level, although the sum will still be divided by three meaning you |
| will have a much greater chance of fighting a Lv 19 CMD. Grand Horn which |
| is very handy to know if you're trying to obtain the Vagyrisk Claw. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
The last thing I'd like to mention before finishing with this section is
regarding a small glitch involving the Phoenix Materia. If you wish to
duplicate it (once only) then you mustn't run out of the shack to claim it
after winning the final Fort Condor Battle. Instead, leave it where it is and
wait until you get to Disk 3 (you'll still be able to grab the Huge Materia).
Then, dig up the Phoenix Materia from Bone Village (see section E.12). Return
to Fort Condor and run outside the shack to grab a 2nd copy of the Phoenix
Materia! For more glitches and exploits visit section E.18

| {Recruiting Yuffie} |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.07 A - How To Obtain Yuffie
Yuffie Kisaragi is one of two 'hidden' characters that can be recruited,
along with Vincent Valentine. See section E.10 for details on how to recruit
Vincent. Yuffie can first be obtained when Cloud reaches Junon Area just
after the Mythril Mine. It is very possible that you could miss out on
recruiting her at this stage, so take note of the fact that she can be
recruited at any point during in the game where Forests can be located.
Recruiting Yuffie will unlock the 'Yuffie' Trophy.
To obtain Yuffie you must first battle around in the forests until you
encounter the Mystery Ninja. Once she has been defeated you will be brought
to a non-World Map screen with a save point. *DO NOT* attempt to use the save
point as Yuffie will steal 200 gil from you and then flee from the screen. In
fact don't open the menu or do anything else that involves taking your eyes
off her; she is an expert thief after all.
NOTE - If she does steal from you then you will have to battle around again
until you re-encounter the Mystery Ninja. Also, when you have
finished recruiting her she will return any gil to you that she had
previously stolen.
When prompted, select the following dialogue choices to recruit Yuffie:
Yuffie: �You spikey-headed jerk! One more time, let's go one more time!�
Cloud: �Not Interested�
Yuffie: �You're pretty scared of me, huh!?�
Cloud: �......petrified�
Yuffie: �I'm really gonna leave! REALLY!�
Cloud: �Wait a second!�
Yuffie: �You want me to go with you?�
Cloud: �......That's right�
Yuffie: �All right! I'll go with you!�
Cloud: �......Let's hurry on�
- Choosing an incorrect answer on the first question will result in you
being forced into the menus, she'll then steal 200 gil from you.
- An incorrect second response will lead to her running away stealing 500
gil.
- An incorrect third or fourth response will lead to her just running away,
stealing nothing.
- An incorrect fifth response will lead to you entering Yuffie's name. When
you come out of that screen Yuffie will have stolen 700 gil from you.
- If you attempt to make use of the save point then she'll steal 200 gil
from you.
Also, each correct response given will raise Yuffie's affection towards you
by +2.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.07 B - Where To Obtain Yuffie
Yuffie can be recruited in any of the 8 forests scattered around the World,

| NOTE ON ENEMIES: |
| |
| At any level the Mystery Ninja will use the attacks 'Fight', 'Throw', and |
| 'Spider Web' which inflicts Slow. A level 17 or 22 MN will also use an |
| 'Impaler' which inflicts Frog, and also a 'Fire Fang' which inflicts weak |
| Fire damage. A level 27, 32, 37 or 42 MN will use a 'Fire Veil' which |
| inflicts moderate Fire damage, 'Leviathan Scales' which inflict Water |
| damage and a 'Swift Bolt' which inflicts Lightning damage. |
| |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
When you recruit Yuffie she will have equipped on her the Throw Materia, a
Carbon Bangle and the 4-Point Shuriken. All of Yuffie's weapons are long
ranged, and her Ultimate Weapon, The Conformer is the only weapon in the game
that can deal regular damage whilst using the Command 'Morph' (as opposed to
hitting for 1/8th of normal damage).
Yuffie also has a side quest that is regarded as the biggest side quest of
the game, and is mandatory to take part in should you wish to obtain every
piece of Materia. You will also not be able to complete the Turtle Paradise
Mini-Game (section E.03) if you do not partake in her sidequest. If you
haven't completed it by the time you have parachuted in on Midgar towards the
end of Disk 2 then you will have missed out on the quest completely.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.07 D - Glitches
There are two glitches that are pertaining to the Yuffie recruiting process:
1.) More of an exploit than a glitch. To keep boosting Yuffie's affection
towards you to am max of 30, you can choose the correct response 4 times,
thus raising her affection value towards you by +8 in total. You can then
select the incorrect response on the final option, rinse and repeat.
The drawback is that she will steal 700 gil from you each time, although
she will return all that she has stolen when you finally do recruit her.
This is easiest to do in the Rocket Town Forests (the smaller of the two)
when you will have a 100% succession rate of encountering her.
2.) Definitely regarded as a glitch, YUFFIE WARPING is something that can
only be done on the PC version of the game. It involves warping your
whole team, inventory, stats etc. from one save file to another. So
basically, you could if you wanted to warp a save file containing Aeris to
the beginning of Disk 2, or you could warp a level 99 Cloud back to the
beginning of the game.
This is done due to the fact that whilst recruiting Yuffie you are coming
from a World Map screen (before the battle) to a Field screen (after the
battle), and this is the only place in the game where this will occur.
Poor programming allows the glitch to occur, see section E.18 for a full
rundown on how to perform the glitch. Here is a simplified version:
First you'll need to prime the save that you wish to load *FROM*. Make sure
that you haven't recruited Yuffie and that you have reached Rocket Town. Save
the game in the smaller of the two forests (where you'll encounter Yuffie
99.6% of the time).
Then load the save game that you wish to warp *TO*. Make sure to engage in a
non-World Map battle (World Map battle encounters will void the glitch).
During this battle you must allow all three characters to die as to return to
the main menu. Then load up the 'primed' save file. Battle around until you
face Yuffie, once she has been defeated instead of exiting to the save point
'recruiting' screen, you will have instead been warped to the battle that you
had previously died on. On the other save file! It's that simple!

--E.08 A - About The Gold Saucer
The Gold Saucer is situated in the middle of Corel Desert and can only be
accessed via North Corel which is just north of the desert. Here you'll be
able to ride the tram up to the Gold Saucer, which is Final Fantasy VII's
epicentre of fun and games, not to mention great prizes. The Amusement Park
is spread across 8 floors. When you first enter the Gold Saucer you'll be
roughly 1/2 way into the first Disk, although you won't be able to explore it
properly until you have obtained the buggy.
When you arrive at the Gold Saucer you must pay 3000 gil to enter, or if you
can afford it you can choose to pay 30,000 gil for a lifetime pass (aka
Golden Ticket). You'll also notice a save point in the background, this can
only be used by spending 5GP.
GP (Gold Points) serve as the Gold Saucers form of currency, and until you
get to Disk 2 they can be very difficult to obtain; you must either win at
the Chocobo Races or win at the arcade games in the Wonder Square. When you
do reach Disk 2 you can amass large amounts of GP much more easily by
manually racing your own Chocobos at the Chocobo Square, until then the Super
Dunk game in the Wonder Square is probably your best option for racking up GP
early on in the game.
You can also exchange gil for GP by talking to the man that will appear
behind the save point at the Ropeway Station. This man will only appear from
Disk 2 onwards and has a 15% chance of appearing (roughly). He will exchange
100 gil for 1GP with a maximum of 100GP for 10,000 gil.
The main two reasons that you would want to amass a large amount of GP are
for the prizes that are available at the Wonder Square (obtained by trading
in your GP), and the prizes that are available at the Battle Square (costs
10GP to partake in a battle). There are also some great prizes that can be
won at the Chocobo Square, but these are more easily obtained once you have
started the whole Chocobo breeding process.

BETTING: |_________________________________________________________________
Before you have obtained your own Chocobos on Disk 2, the only way in which
you can partake in Chocobo Racing is to place a bet at the main central
Bookmaker's Office. The ranks are divided up into C, B, A and S ranks, the
higher the rank the better the rewards but the more the bet costs. On Disk 1
you will only have rank C & B to choose from.
To enter into the bets you'll need to pay 200 gil, then you have to pay an
additional price to place a bet; the price of the bet depends on which Class
you select:
Class C - 100 gil
Class B - 200 gil
Class A - 300 gil
Class S - 500 gil
Every time you bet on a race you will have a grid of 15 squares to choose
from; each square represents one possible outcome of the race and you can
select up to three of them. If you determine Chocobo 1, 4 & 5 to be the
Chocobos with the highest chance of winning, then you should put your money
on squares 1-4, 1-5 and 4-5.
7 of the 15 squares will yield a 'common' item, 5 will yield an 'uncommon'
item and 3 will yield a 'rare' item. The available items for that particular
race are chosen at random and are displayed in the bottom left hand corner of
the lobby screen.
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Chance of Winning... | Cumulative Chance: |
|-------------------------------------------+--------------------|
| A Prize - 20 % (3 out of 15) | 20% |
| A Common Prize - 46.6 % (7 out of 15) | 9.3% |
| An Uncommon Prize - 33.3 % (5 out of 15) | 6.6% |
| A Rare Prize - 20 % (3 out of 15) | 4% |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
TIP - Thanks to the help of Bellfell and Phiefer3, I have been able to work
out a formula that yields a 40% average win ratio:
Find X using the table below, then multiply that figure by Stamina. Repeat
the process for all 6 Chocobos, then bet on the three with the highest result.

| | Stamina Range: 500 - 529 |
| | Result Range: 41.83% - 51.2% |
|____________________________________|_______________________________________|
To understand the maths behind the above tables, you must first understand
the formula behind it:
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| Top Speed / Maximum Top Speed (176 KPH) = X |
| Stamina / Maximum Stamina (999) = Y |
| X * Y = % of maximum possible stat values |
| |
| SO |
| |
| If a Chocobo had a Top Speed of 113 KPH, then X would be 64.2%. |
| If a Chocobo had 362 Stamina, then Y would be 36.2% |
| 0.642 * 0.362 = 23.24% of maximum possible Top Speed and Stamina |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
I tried this method over 100 races, and I was able to win 40 of them. The
main problem is that you cannot determine a Chocobos Run, Acceleration,
Intelligence or Cooperation, so there is no way of accurately determining the
Chocobo with the greatest stats.
It is speculated that the rank of the jockey has an affect on the outcome of
the race, and there are 4 ranks that can be determined by the colour of the
Jockey - Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. If in doubt, try betting on the
highest ranking Jockey; again this is only speculation.

| Sprint Shoes | 500 | In Class S, you will have a 7.95% chance of one
|________________|_____| of the 10 rare items appearing (Elixir downwards).
The prizes you get for betting are the exact same prizes that you get for
racing. You first get a taste of what the Chocobo Racing experience is like
when you attempt to leave Corel Prison; you have to win in order to be
allowed to leave (although you won't win a prize, other than that of
freedom). If you lose then you will be able to re-try as many times as you
like until you win, just be sure to pick up the Ramuh Materia whilst in the
Jockey's Room as you'll never again be able to re-visit that area.
You won�t be able to race in the Chocobo Races again until you have completed
the Lifestream events in Mideel on Disk 2 (the Gold Saucer won't have re-
opened until that point). You can then catch and breed your own Chocobos to
race in the Chocobo Square. It is much safer to race your own Chocobo as
opposed to betting at the Bookmaker's Office seeing as all you will need to
do to guarantee a prize is to win the race. When you do win a race either
through betting or racing you will be able to choose your reward; you can
take either the Item or the GP. One of the main incentives to spend time
racing your Chocobos in the Chocobo Square is to gain high amounts of GP,
aswell as to help with the Chocobo breeding quest.
____________
|
BREEDING: |_________________________________________________________________
Racing your Chocobos in the Chocobo Square is actually a requirement of the
breeding process. Every time your Chocobo wins its third race it'll be ranked
up to the next class, and a couple of highly ranked Chocobos will be more
likely to breed a 'special' Chocobo. Also, the higher the ranking of the
parents, the greater the racing stats will be of the new-born Chocobo.
For more details on Chocobo breeding see section E.14.
_________
|
ESTER: |____________________________________________________________________
To enter into a race you must talk to Ester who will be standing outside of
the Staffroom. She will only be present from Disk 2 onwards. Here you will be
able to choose which Chocobo you wish to race followed by which track you
would like to race on. For what it's worth, always pick the short track;
there is nothing worth noting about the long track other than the fact that
you'll be able to see a recurring Final Fantasy easter egg - The Moai Face.
If you have either Tifa or Cid in your party then there'll be a 50% chance
that they'll want to be the one to ride on the back of a Chocobo. It's
completely optional of course but it can be quite refreshing to see someone
else riding a Chocobo for a change, however it makes absolutely no difference
whatsoever to the Chocobos performance. If both Cid and Tifa are in your
party then Tifa will always be the one to ask.
NOTE - I suspect that the developers chose Tifa and Cid to be the ones to
partake in the races (and also the Snowboarding game) due to the fact
that they are the two characters that you take control of whilst
Cloud is 'unavailable' in Mideel. Perhaps originally the Gold Saucer
was intended to be open for business during that time...

Controls:-
Left | Left
Right | Right
X | Slow Down
Sq | Speed Up
O | Sprint (drains stamina)
Start | Pause
Select | Toggle between Manual and Automatic
R1+R2 | Holding together will slowly refill stamina
As soon as the race begins you're going to want to press Select to toggle
from Automatic to Manual. Then, you're going to want to hold down R1+R2 for
the remainder of the race so that you consistently replenish you stamina bar.
Then tap Square a number of times to speed up your Chocobo all the way, you
can even sprint if you like (with O) to get in the lead, just make sure to
save enough stamina for the final hurdle.
If you have a Green or Blue Chocobo then you'll find that you won�t struggle
as much at particular points in the race. Due to hurried programming, the
'ability' of each Chocobo has been reversed - The Green Chocobo will find it
easier to traverse through the water section of the long course as well as
the space section at the end of the short course, while a Blue Chocobo will
make short work of the spiralling climb at the beginning of the short course.
Naturally the Black and Gold Chocobos won't struggle at all while a Yellow
Chocobo will struggle will all parts.
**Once the first two Chocobos have crossed the finish line you can end the
race by pressing Start; you don't have to wait for all 6 Chocobos to cross
the finishing line.
For information on how the racing stats work whilst breeding Chocobos, see
section E.10 E.
_________

TEIOH: |____________________________________________________________________
Every so often you be up against the well-known jockey Joe and his Black
Chocobo Teioh. Teioh's stats are always faster than yours and can be very
tough to beat at times. His Speed is always 10% higher than yours and his
Stamina is always 25% higher than yours, regardless of whether your Chocobos
stats are maxed out or not. And obviously being a Black Chocobo he can make
short work of the tracks environmental hazards.
It is extremely difficult to beat Teioh without the use of a Gold, Black or
Green Chocobo, so don't waste too much time trying. You'll have to really
exhaust your sprint to stay ahead of him, just make sure to save enough for
the final sprint otherwise you're screwed. Using the R1+R2 trick here is
paramount.
Teioh will never appear in Class C, however his encounter rate for the other
Classes are as follows:
Class B - 12.5%
Class A - 25%
Class S - 50%

SPECIAL PRIZES: |___________________________________________________________
If you manage to win 19 races with a single Chocobo then Ester will reward
you with five prizes that are available in Class S (but unfortunately not the
Magic Counter Materia):
Precious Watch, Chocobracelet, Cat's Bell, Sprint Shoes and Counter Attack
{Wonder Square}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.08 C - Wonder Square
--Items of Interest - Gil Plus Materia, EXP Plus Materia, Speed Source
The Wonder Square will be your main source of GP whilst on Disk 1, and
although there are 9 games to choose from the only game that will really make
an impact on your GP wallet will be the Super Dunk game. It's recommended
that you play the Mog House game and the G-Bike game to win some one off
prizes - 30 GP and a Speed Source, respectively. The Snowboarding game is
also worth a blast as it's probably the most fun game to play, followed by G-
Bike.
NOTE - When you first enter the Wonder Square you will automatically recruit
Cait Sith onto your team, who will also come equipped with the mighty
Manipulate Materia.
When you enter the 1st floor of the Arcade itself you will have three games
to choose from. In the 2nd floor you will have 6 games to choose from. Also,
there is a staff member on the 1st floor who will trade your GP for prizes:
__________________ ________
| | | - The Gold Ticket is a waste of GP and is much
| PRIZE: | Cost: | more easily obtained by paying 30,000 gil at
|__________________|________| the Ropeway Station.
| | |
| Potion | 1GP | - The Carob Nut will be displayed as '????' and
| Ether | 20GP | can be easily obtained by stealing from the
| X-Potion | 80GP | Vlakorados near Bone Village. They are used
| Turbo Ether | 100GP | for breeding Chocobos.
| Gold Ticket | 300GP |
| Carob Nut | 500GP | - The Gil Plus Materia and the EXP Plus Materia
| Gil Plus Materia | 1000GP | will both appear as '????'. There is only one
| EXP Plus Materia | 2000GP | available of each and neither will become
|__________________|________| available until you have reached Disk 2.
____________________________________________
|
1ST FLOOR - {ARM WRESTLER} - COST 100 GIL |_________________________________
This game is situated to the left of the staff member. It is very easy to win
and only requires you to tap O as quickly as you can. There are two
difficulty settings:
Sumo Wrestler (Easy) - Prize = 1GP
Wrestler (Hard) - Prize = 2GP
__________________________________________
|
1ST FLOOR - {SUPER DUNK} - COST 200 GIL |___________________________________
This game is situated on the lower right hand side and is considered by many
to be the best source of GP for Disk 1. The game will require you to hold O
down for approximately 1/2 a second and timing it right will score you 1GP,
the idea is to chain as many baskets as you can to maximise your GP count.
Holding O down for too long or too short will result in a miss, the game will
then pay-out the GP that you've earned.
NOTE - Thank xPsychoMantis a huge amount for this!
Go to https://www.metronomeonline.com/ and set it to 120 BPM. It will
take a while to get used to but eventually you will start to find a
rhythm where you'll be scoring every time. It also helps greatly if
you mute the Gold Saucer backing music. Simply push O for one beat.
Try not to over think it; in fact try to think about something else
while you are playing. Look away from the screen, but don't close
your eyes and nod your head slightly to the beep.
Every time you net a basket you will earn 1GP. Once you have scored 10
consecutive points you will be given the option to 'Double Down'. If you land
that shot then you will double your current score, if you fail the shot then
your score will be reduced to 1GP and the game will end. The highest chain
possible is 44 baskets which will land you a whopping 300GP, so it really is
worth investing a small amount of time into the game.
______________________________________________
|
1ST FLOOR - {WONDER CATCHER} - COST 100 GIL |_______________________________
On the back wall you'll find two machines that are good for eating up your
gil and that's about it. Each machine will spit out a random prize, the
prizes are as follows:
_______________________ __________________
| | | |
| LEFT MACHINE: | | RIGHT MACHINE: |
|______________ ________| |_________ ________|
| | | | | |
| PRIZE: | CHANCE | | PRIZE: | CHANCE | - The right machine is slightly
|______________|________| |_________|________| better than the left machine,
| | | | | | but only marginally.
| Potion | 39.06% | | Potion | 39.06% |
| Nothing | 29.3% | | Nothing | 29.3% | - The Phoenix Down and the
| 1 GP | 19.53% | | 1 GP | 19.53% | Ether are glitched. When you
| 3 GP | 8.99% | | 3 GP | 8% | receive the Phoenix Down the
| Phoenix Down | 1.95% | | Ether | 2.94% | game will tell you that you
| Megalixir | 0.78% | | Elixir | 0.78% | have received an Ether, and
| 80 GP | 0.39% | | 100 GP | 0.39% | vice-versa.
|______________|________| |_________|________|
______________________________________
|
2ND FLOOR - {G-BIKE} - COST 200 GIL |_______________________________________
G-Bike is situated at the northern end of the room and is basically the same
game as the one played whilst escaping Midgar on the Highway. Press O to
swing the Buster Sword to the right and Square to swing it to the left. For
every enemy biker that you knock down you'll score 500 points, and you'll
lose 50 points every time the truck is hit.
The orange bikers shouldn't pose too much of a threat, it's the red bikers
you need to be wary of as their main strategy is to lure you away from the
truck, and while you are pre-occupied the orange bikers will then damage the
truck as much as they can. Don't forget that you can knock down an enemy by
colliding into him enough times, you can also create a domino effect if you
line them up right.
You will receive 2 GP for scoring between 5000 - 9999 and you'll receive 10
GP for scoring over 10,000. You'll also be rewarded with a one-off Speed
Source the first time you score over 10,000 points, which makes the G-Bike
game worth playing at least until you have acquired the bonus prize.
On the PS4 version, you can unlock the Corel's Angel Trophy by scoring 10,050
points or more on the G-Bike game. You'll also notice blue bikes amongst the
orange bikes; these appear to act in the same way as the orange bikes.

2ND FLOOR - {CRYSTAL FORTUNE} - COST 50 GIL |_______________________________
Just to the right of the G-Bike machine you'll find the Crystal Fortune
machine. Each time you reach a milestone within the story the fortune will
change to match your current circumstances. The fortunes that will be given
are as follows:

|------------------------+------------------------+--------------------------|
Also take note of the fortune that Cait Sith read out to you when he forced
his way into your party - �What you pursue will be yours. But you will lose
something dear�. I can only imagine that the 'pursue' part was relating to
the Black Materia and the 'losing' part is an obvious reference to the events
that take place at the end of Disk 1.

2ND FLOOR - {MOG HOUSE} - COST 100 GIL |____________________________________
This machine is positioned on the right hand side and is worth playing just
once as you'll net a quick one-time-only 30GP. All you have to do is feed Mog
5 Kupo Nuts when prompted, and then 3 Kupo Nuts the second time. It's a
little boring to watch, but definitely worth it for the GP. Be sure to talk
to the person next to the machine to claim your reward.
__________________________________________
|
2ND FLOOR - {3D BATTLER} - COST 200 GIL |___________________________________
This machine is positioned in the centre of the room and is pretty much a
rock, paper, scissors type game that yields five opponents, each increasing
in difficulty as you progress. So difficult in-fact that many people stay
clear of this game altogether.
Press X for a Low Attack (Beats Mid, loses to High)
Press Sq for a Mid Attack (Beats High, loses to Low)
Press Tr for a High Attack (Beats Low, loses to Mid)
After you have successfully hit your opponent a number of times they will
drop to their knees, progressing you to the next round. Here are the prizes
up for grabs alongside the chances you have of winning:

The 5th and final battle is more of a joke enemy than a real one seeing as he
is completely invisible, and it is completely impossible to defeat him. Due
to the terrible chances that you have of even making it past the third round,
the most you can hope to regularly win whilst playing 3D Battler is 3GP.

2ND FLOOR - {SNOWBOARDING} - COST 200 GIL |_________________________________
The snowboarding machine is situated on the left hand side and is only
available once the Gold Saucer has re-opened on Disk 2. Snowboarding is
definitely the most challenging of all of the Wonder Square games and is also
regarded as the most enjoyable. You'll have experienced it before seeing as
it's basically the same mini-game as the one at the Icicle Inn, but with
different courses.
As with Chocobo Racing, Tifa or Cid may occasionally ask to have a try on the
snowboarding machine (37.5% of the time). It makes no difference whatsoever
to the performance of the snowboard and is completely optional. If both Tifa
and Cid are present then Tifa will always be the one to ask.

Awful and Bad are swapped in the PC As with Technique, you'll start off

TIME ATTACK:
In order to unlock the Time Attack mode you must first score 70 points or
more (GOOD ranking) on a particular track, thereby unlocking Time Attack for
that track (you also must have also set a score on every track). Time Attack
is activated by grabbing the Yellow balloon at the beginning of the race, and
there are some additional options available in the menus. You can change the
floor to a chequered grid, change the ghost Mog's snowboard to a sleigh, you
can even replace Mog with a running Cactuar, but to do that you must first
unlock rank 'Super', which is no easy feat (Time Attack rankings differ from
the normal rankings).
To assist with obtaining a 'Super' ranking you must first obtain a 'Good'
ranking which will unlock the Silver balloon at the beginning of a track,
granting you a speed bonus and thereby making it possible for you to decimate
your old records.
Here are the Time Attack Rankings for each version of the game:
NOTE - The correct display should be 01'29"999 as opposed to 1'29"99, I just
didn't have room to fit everything in. Sorry!

2ND FLOOR - {TORPEDO ATTACK} - COST 200 GIL |_______________________________
The Submarine machine can be found on the very left hand side next to the
Snowboarding machine. I'll be honest, the game is pretty boring and the
prizes are dull, although the Dragon Fang and the Dragon Scales will come in
handy at the Battle Square. You won't be able to play the game until you have
completed the submarine events mid-way through Disk 2. This is basically the
same mini-game as the one you'll have played at the end of that mission.
Controls:-
Up | Descend The aim of the game is to destroy all enemy
Down | Ascend submarines, and there are 5 difficulty settings
Left | Left to choose from. The higher the setting, the more
Right | Right subs you will have to destroy and the more HP
X | Slow Down each enemy sub will have. The easiest way to win
Tr | Speed Up is to use your sonar to locate enemy Subs, then
Sq | Fire Torpedo simply lock onto them and fire with Square. Your
R1 | Sonar score will be affected be the speed in which you
R2 | Change View destroy the enemy subs, the amount of damage you
Select | Quit take along with the current difficulty setting
you are on.
NOTE - It doesn't matter in the slightest how high of a score you get, all
that you need to do to win the prize is to beat the game. You will
lose the game if the timer runs out and there are still enemy subs
left to destroy, or you are destroyed yourself.

{Battle Square}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.08 D - Battle Square
--Items of Interest - Final Attack Materia, W-Summon Materia, Omnislash,
Speed Plus Materia, Enemy Lure Materia, Champion Belt,
Pre-Emptive Materia, Sprint Shoes, Ribbon
The first time you enter the Battle Square you will be accused of
committing a massacre, you will then be thrown into Corel Prison (Provided
you have first recruited Cait Sith, which will happen automatically the first
time you enter the Wonder Square). You'll then have to wait until you have
obtained the Buggy before you can then enter the Battle Square properly, and
as you've probably figured by the name this is a place where you can put your
battle skills to the test for the chance to win some great prizes!
The only attraction at the Battle Square is the Battle Arena which will cost
10GP to participate in, and although competing is completely optional, you
will have to take part in one mandatory battle as per the story line. This
takes place just after you receive the Tiny Bronco and your reward for this
battle will be the Keystone. If you manage to win all of these 8 battles
within the Battle Arena then Dio (The owner of the Gold Saucer) will throw in
a Protect Vest and a Choco Feather as a bonus. You can also enter into a
'special' battle', the reward being the Final Attack Materia. See below for
more details.
__________
|
PRIZES: |___________________________________________________________________
You reward for winning at the Battle Square will be dispensed in the form of
BP (Battle Points), and the BP you obtain can then be exchanged for prizes at
the two consoles to the left and right of the entrance. The further into the
game you progress the better and cheaper the prizes will be.
NOTE - **When you leave the Battle Arena your BP count will be reset to 0.**
You must make sure to have enough GP (and time) on your hands to
be able obtain the prizes that you are after; if you run out of
GP then you will be forced to spend all the current BP you have,
as you will lose all of it the second you step outside. 200GP+
should be a sufficient amount, always remember to save your game
just before coming to the Arena.

|_______________|______________|______________|___________|
You can also obtain a pair of Sprint Shoes for free which is a really cool
accessory that will automatically put your character in Haste. To obtain the
Sprint Shoes you must first talk to the NPC that you see standing at the very
bottom of the stairs at the entrance to the Battle Square. After she has
commented on how she doesn't like fighters that are all talk, you can then
compete in the Battle Arena. Be sure to win all 8 battles, when you do you
will be able to talk to her again to receive the Sprint Shoes. This can only
be done once.

{BATTLE ARENA}: |___________________________________________________________
The Battle Arena mini-game consists of 8 fights, each becoming more difficult
than the last. Most of the enemies that you engage here are ones that you
will already have fought before, however there are 2 enemies that are unique
to the Battle Square, and these are Ho-chu and Tonberry.
Only one player can fight at a time, and the HP, MP, Limit gauge status etc.
of the player when he/she went into the battle will be exactly same when they
come out of the battle, regardless of what happens inside the Arena. Because
of this, it's always advisable to make use of the Inn in North Corel before
ascending the Ropeway to the Gold Saucer. I would also recommend having your
Limit bar roughly halfway filled.
There are some enemies that will teach you particular Enemy Skills whilst
battling away, however once the battle has finished and you have returned to
the Battle Arena lobby you'll find that the Enemy Skills that you had learnt
will no longer be available on your skill list. You won't gain any EXP, AP or
gil and nor will any of the kills that you make count towards you Limit Break
levels, however the items that you consume *will* deplete as they normally
would, and any items you obtain via stealing and morphing will be added to
your inventory as normal.
NOTE - Morphing the Ho-chu is the best way to obtain a third Ribbon after
acquiring the Highwind.
After each fight you will have the option to either continue on fighting or
to finish the battle, retaining your currently accumulated BP. Should you
choose to continue on, and then die before making it to the next round, you
will lose all of the BP that you accumulated for the battle and the mini-game
would be considered lost. Should this happen then you would receive the
consolation prize, a 'Tissue' (which does absolutely nothing). The game is
considered won if you win all 8 battles, or you decide to end the battle
after a fight.
One of the biggest incentives to grind it out at the Battle Arena is for the
'Omnislash' prize, which is Cloud's Ultimate Lv 4 Limit Break technique and
is regarded as potentially one of the strongest attacks in the game.
Obviously you'll need to rack up a large amount of BP for this, and the
amount of BP you gain per battle is entirely based on which handicap you
receive at the end of each individual fight.
_______________
|
{HANDICAPS}: |______________________________________________________________
Very similar to Cait Sith's and Tifa's Limit Breaks, the handicap system
works much like a fruit machine's 'slots'. After each battle (provided you
have chosen to continue on) you will be presented with a spinning reel with 3
symbols on, and each symbol correlates to a handicap. You can slow the reels
down if you wish by tapping Square.
NOTE - Timing is everything. Whilst slowing down the reels, try to press
Square on the symbol *before* the one you are after, it's the same
technique for rigging Cait Sith's 'Slots' (see section E.02 E).
The tougher the handicap, the bigger the BP reward. Below is a list of every
handicap, note that receiving any of the 'Materia Broken' handicaps will also
cancel any of the status effects of the equipped Materia i.e. Strength - 1
etc.

to escape mid-battle whilst keeping your BP. If you try to escape
using R1+L1 however then you would lose all of your BP.
You start each battle with 10 BP. Each handicap you obtain you will receive a
small amount BP, however you'll only really start to see the big figures on
the final two reels; aim to get the easy handicaps until then. Although
aiming for the tougher handicaps for the final two fights can sometimes be
challenging, the BP reward is definitely worth the risk. The highest possible
amount that you can obtain in one battle is 12,576BP.
You do not need to try to 'preserve' the most rewarding handicaps for the
final 2 reels either, such as 'All Materia Broken' or 'Green Materia
Broken'. The contents of each reel will be scripted in from the beginning of
each battle; nothing you ever land on will affect the line-up for the
following reels.
NOTE - Whilst under 'Resist', you will still be able to undergo Status
changes via the handicaps. Should this happen then you will not be
able to remove the handicap unless you use White Wind or DeSpell.
Here are the BP rewards for each handicap, highest to lowest:

So the top 5 handicaps to watch out for on the final two rounds will be the
All Materia Broken, Magic Materia Broken, Weapon Broken, Item sealed and
Independent Materia Broken. Having said that, be mindful of the Weapon Broken
handicap as its effects will stack, leaving your physical attacks potentially
harmless. Use the Enemy Skill Goblin Punch if this happens.

ENEMIES: |__________________________________________________________________
As with the prizes, the enemies that you encounter will update firstly after
you've received the Tiny bronco, and then again once you've received the
Highwind on Disk 2. Seeing as the enemies on the first 'bout' are so weak, it
is recommended that you utilise the opportunity to obtain the invaluable
Champion Belt at an early point in the game.
**All enemies will have 200% of their normal HP along with 125% of their**
Attack and Magic Attack.
There are two groups of enemies that will be selected at random, Group A and
Group B, the latter of which is usually slightly more difficult than the
former. Each group consists of 4 potential enemy formations for you to fight,
again selected at random. The enemy line-up for the final fight will be the
same for both groups.

BATTLE STRATEGIES: |________________________________________________________
The first thing you should think about is preparation. Make sure to have
healed yourself at North Corel before entering the Battle Square, and also
make sure to have saved up a sufficient amount of GP. This is easily done at
the Chocobo races once you can race your own Chocobos. Aim to have your Limit
filled up halfway, and possibly even come equipped with Sadness to lessen the
amount of damage you take. The idea is to have your Limit bar filled for the
final fight, if it fills up sooner then you should rely on Deathblow (or
Goblin Punch).
NOTE - If you wanted to you could fill up you Limit gauge all the way prior
to entering the Battle Square, then equip the Mime Materia. Once the
battle has begun, cast Haste, Regen etc. then cast your Limit Break
and keep Miming it until you need to heal. Be sure not to equip any
Counter Attacks if you plan to use this method.
You'll want to make use of Big Guard and Regen in every battle. You're also
going to want to use Materia such as Heal (Esuna), Counter Attack, HP Plus,
Luck Plus, (Command) Counter=Deathblow, Added Cut=Deathblow and even Steal as
Well=Deathblow. Ribbons are an absolute must, or failing that Added
Effect=Hades in your amour works really well although I would recommend using
that combo on your weapon. Before you obtain a Ribbon you'll need to rely on
the White Cape which will protect you from Frog/Small.
One of the most used commonly strategies is to make it to the beginning of
Round 8 (whilst aiming for the 'All Materia Broken' handicap), then use a
Smoke Bomb to escape from the battle retaining all of your accumulated BP.
You could also do the same with the Exit Materia, although it wouldn't be
much use to you if you've received a handicap that disables it. Do not run
away normally (by holding R1+L1) as it will register as a 'loss' and you'll
lose all of your accumulated BP (for that battle).
NOTE - When you do receive the 'All Materia Broken' handicap, remember you
can hold down confirm to auto attack, unless of course you need to
heal.
Enemy Skills are a crucial element to the Battle Square and will really tip
the tide in your favour. Aim to learn Big Guard, White Wind/Angel Whisper,
Beta, L4 Suicide, Magic Hammer, Death Force, Dragon Force, Magic Breath and
Goblin Punch. For info on how to obtain each Enemy Skill visit section G.02.
Here's a top tip: If you were to receive the 'Weapon Broken' handicap
multiple times then the effects would stack and your physical attacks could
become useless. When this happens you can fall back on Goblin Punch which
will hit for 75% of your normal physical attacks, for 0 MP.
Seeing as the enemies have twice their normal HP and 1.25x their normal
attack and Magic, it's important to come prepared. Always have your player in
the back row accompanied by a long ranged weapon, or the Long Range Materia
(don't forget to move your player to the front row if you receive either the
'Independent' or 'All Materia Broken' handicap). Slash All or Double Cut are
a must, and make sure to have some solid armour equipped such as the Mystile,
which will grant your player incredible evasion stats. Failing that, the
Imperial Guard or the Ziedrich will fit nicely.
NOTE - If you have been playing the game for a very long time then the 'Time
x30' handicap could ruin your day. If the resulting damage is higher
than your current HP then your HP will be reduced to 1, leaving you
extremely vulnerable.
Provided that it doesn't morally displease you, you could utilise the W-Item
trick to duplicate yourself enough Elixirs, Smoke Bombs and other resources
to make your Battle experience that much easier. If you don't wish to use
glitches then be sure to spend any leftover BP on Remedies, as you'll need
them should you lose your ability to cure negative Statuses through Esuna or
White Wind/Angel Whisper. Also remember that Haste, Regen and Slow-Numb
*will* carry over through to the next fight, Death Sentence will not.
Here is a list of useful Items that will help you in the Battle Arena:
**The W-Item trick is recommended**

SPECIAL BATTLE: |___________________________________________________________
Towards the end of the game you are going to be given the opportunity to
partake in a 'special' battle which is harder than normal battles. This
battle won�t become available until you have in your possession the W-Summon
Materia, Omnislash and Cloud's Ultima Weapon. The earliest point in the game
that you can obtain all three items is just after you have defeated Diamond
WEAPON (just before you parachute into Midgar), after which you'll be able to
take out Ultimate WEAPON to receive the Ultima Weapon (which is Cloud's
ultimate weapon).
Once you have met the above conditions you will be able to talk to the clerk
behind the desk who will offer you the opportunity to fight in the special
battle. If you win all 8 rounds then you will be rewarded with the Final
Attack Materia, which can only be won once. You can also win some completely
useless prizes such as the Combat Diary, Autograph and Gambler. These items
serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever. Only Cloud will be able to
participate in this 'special' battle.
NOTE - The Final Attack Materia is extremely useful, especially when paired
with Revive. It's definitely considered 'essential' when going up
against either Ruby or Emerald WEAPON.
The enemies for this battle are pre-scripted and never change:
___________ _________________________
| | | * = Susceptible to L4 Suicide.
| BATTLE 1: | Sea Worm |
| BATTLE 2: | Ho-chu | The Sea Worm is vulnerable to Ice
| BATTLE 3: | Unknown 3* | The Ho-chu is vulnerable to Water
| BATTLE 4: | Serpent | The Serpent is vulnerable to Wind
| BATTLE 5: | Wolfmeister | The Wolfmeister is vulnerable to Water
| BATTLE 6: | Behemoth |
| BATTLE 7: | Maximum Kimaira | Winning 10 battles will net you a
| BATTLE 8: | Proud Clod, Jamar Armor | Ribbon, however it's much easier to
|___________|_________________________| just morph a Ho-chu.
The last few bonus prizes to mention are the Sprint Shoes that can be won by
first talking to the girl that is standing at the bottom of the stairway to
the Battle Square, then winning all 8 fights in (any) battle, and then
returning to her to claim your prize. You can also win two additional prizes
when you take part in the 'mandatory' battle after acquiring the Tiny Bronco;
win all 8 battles and Dio will reward you with a Protect Vest and a Choco
Feather, aswell as the Keystone.
{Ghost Square}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.08 E - Ghost Square
--Items of Interest - Turtle Paradise Poster #3
The Ghost Square basically serves as an Inn where you can rest for 5GP. In
the 1st floor lobby on the left hand side you'll find the poster for the
Turtle Paradise Mini-Game (section E.03). Through the opening you'll find Mr
Hangman's shop, here's what he has to sell: (no variation between Disks)
+---------------------------+
| ITEM SHOP |
|---------------------------|
| Potion | 50 gil | During Disk 1 the Ghost Square will act as a
| Phoenix Down | 300 gil | 'catch up' point, where Cloud will run through
| Ether | 1500 gil | the story plot so-far with his comrades.
| Antidote | 80 gil | Shortly after this the Dating sequence will
| Maiden's Kiss | 150 gil | begin (section E.01). You will never again step
| Cornucopia | 150 gil | foot in the hotel bedroom once the dating
| Soft | 150 gil | sequence has finished, so be sure to pick up
| Echo Screen | 100 gil | the Elixir that is hiding in the northern
| Hyper | 100 gil | closet.
| Tranquilizer | 100 gil |
|_______________|___________|
{Round Square}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.08 F - Round Square
For 3GP you can ride the Gondola with a teammate of your choice. You'll see
a few scenes that weren't shown on the date, other than that there isn't much
point in spending too much time here. The date sequence itself is fairly
interesting as you'll be spending some quality time with either Aeris, Tifa,
Yuffie or Barret. Aeris's and Tifa's date will have a 'meaningful' feel to
it, and Yuffie's and Barret's date will have a 'comical' feel to it.
If you want to view the dialogue that takes place here for each character,
then you should visit section E.01 F.
{Speed Square}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.08 G - Speed Square
--Items of Interest - Umbrella, Flayer
The Speed Square is home to one attraction only, and that is the 'Shooting
Coaster' which is basically a rollercoaster style shoot-em-up. The first time
you visits the Gold Saucer you'll be able talk to the owner, Dio, about the
Black Materia and a man in a hooded cape. Heading down the tunnel will lead
to the attraction itself. The ride costs 10GP to play, and isn't that great
in the way of rewards seeing as most of the prizes do absolutely nothing,
while the ones that are good for something require an insanely high score to
obtain:
_______________________________________
| SCORE: | PRIZE: | - The Umbrella is a weapon for Aeris
|________|______________________________| that has 0 Materia slots but
| | | incredibly strong attack power,
| | Masamune Blade (50% chance) | and is best used for Yuffie's
| 3000+ | Super Sweeper (25% chance) | sidequest.
| | 1/35 Soldier (25% chance) |
|--------+------------------------------| - The Flayer is a weapon for Cid and
| | Umbrella (once only, Disk 1) | is the strongest weapon in the
| 5000+ | Flayer (once only, Disk 2) | game to have normal growth. None
|________|______________________________| of its 7 Materia slots are linked.
While scoring 3000+ can be a challenge, scoring 5000+ can be near to
impossible without using an emulator. I suggest sitting down with youtube to
really learn the track and the position of every target, because as they say,
practise makes perfect! Use confirm to shoot the targets as they appear, but
be mindful of the power-bar to the left, the more it depletes the less power
your shots will have.
NOTE - Do not let your Power meter run below 4/5ths. Quick, short bursts is
what's required, especially for the big spaceship at the end!
Below is a list detailing each available target, along with how many points
each is worth and how many times they appear:
__________________ ________ _______
| | | | - The Cactus comes in two different
| TARGET: | SCORE: | QNTY: | forms.
|__________________|________|_______|
| | | | - The Cacti on Rocks is the last cactus
| Ghost | 40 | 10 | target that drops on top of a boulder.
| Cactus | 30 | 5 |
| Cacti on Rocks | 50 | 1 | - To find the Yellow Boulder you must
| Blue Plane | 50 | 9 | look out for the single Blue Plane in
| Grey Plane | 50 | 11 | the Canyon, just before it passes
| Yellow Boulder | 200 | 1 | you'll notice the Yellow Boulder at
| Yellow Frog | 60 | 3 | the top.
| Red Water Wheel | 285 | 1 |
| Yellow Star | 40 | 10 | - The Red Wheel appears just after
| Flashing Star | 70 | 6 | Yellow Frogs, and the longer you shoot
| Icicle | 40 | 10 | it the more points you accumulate with
| Icicle Shard | 50 | 7 | a max of 285.
| Balloon | 30 | 19 |
| Large Balloon | 70 | 1 | - After the boss at the end you'll
| UFO | 60 | 9 | encounter one more Helicopter, Blue
| Pink Rocket | 50 | 8 | Plane and Grey Plane, each worth 10
| Lava Boulder | 70 | 7 | points more than normal.
| Helicopter | 40 | 8 |
| Flashy UFO | 80 | 8 | - As you're pulling into the station you
| Large Spaceship | 1000 | 1 | can try to shoot the second from last
| Secret Headlight | 200 | 1 | headlight on the left for an
|__________________|________|_______| additional 200 points.
There is also a 'Zeppelin Propeller' that can be shot for additional points,
however this is only achievable in the Japanese original, the PC and the PS4
release. Due to the amount of points available (30,440 total), this is
believed to be a glitch. The Propeller appears for two brief moments, and can
be found in-between the Pink Rockets and the Lava Boulders.
Again, you're really going to need some patience on this one. I suggest
saving before attempting to gain the Flayer (let's face it, there's no real
need for the Umbrella, unless you're going for 100%), and really memorising
the youtube vids; there's plenty out there!
{Event Square}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.08 H - Event Square
The Event Square is basically a theatre that has got absolutely nothing
going on for the majority of the game, except for during the dating sequence.
Whilst you are with your date you will be chosen as the 100th couple (unless
you are with Barret, in which case this whole scene will be skipped entirely)
and you will be asked to perform in the play. You will then have multiple
dialogue options to choose from in which you can either aid the play to help
it run smoothly (but also boringly), or you can purposely muck up the lines
for a comical experience.

--E.09 A - About Statuses
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| Death Near-death Sleep Poison Sadness Fury |
| Confusion Silence Haste Slow Stop Frog Small |
| Slow-numb Petrify Regen Barrier MBarrier |
| Reflect Shield Death-sentence Manipulate |
| Berserk Peerless Paralyzed Darkness |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
As with the Elements, Status changes are a recurring trait that is used in
the Final Fantasy series. Very commonly a Status change will have a direct
effect on the way in which either the player or the enemy behaves. Some
Statuses will have positive effect, such as Haste, and some Statuses will be
negative, such as Poison. There are 26 'main' Statuses but there are actually
considered to be 35 in total.
NOTE - The Ribbon is considered to be the best Accessory in the game, and it
will protect you from the majority of negative Statuses. One can
first be found in the Temple of The Ancients, the 2nd in Gaea's
Cliff, and final piece in the Battle Square by Morphing a Ho-chu. It
*won't* protect you from Death, Slow and Stop however.
Time based Statuses such as Death Sentence and Poison will usually affect
your players at a rate based on how fast your Battle Speed settings are set
to. My best advice is to set the ATB to 'Wait', and don't have the Battle
Speed set too high. This way you won't be penalised for spending a long time
selecting which command to use, or whilst watching the characters battle
animations play out.
Unlike a lot of other Final Fantasy games, most Statuses will *not* carry
over from battle to battle, the exceptions being Fury and Sadness. Both
Statuses have positive and negative effects; Fury will make your Limits fill
up quicker whilst making your attacks less accurate; Sadness will make your
Limits fill up more slowly whilst receiving less damage from attacks.
White Wind is an incredibly useful Enemy Skill that is learnt from the
Zemzelett in Junon Area, and becomes available as soon as you obtain the
Manipulate Materia. It's effects will not only heal your HP but will also
cure you of most Statuses! The same goes for Angel Whisper, which is learnt
from the Pollensalta in the North Crater. Another great way to defend
yourself from Status ailments is to level the Heal Materia up to level 2 for
'Esuna', which will cure you of most bad afflictions.
There are three Statuses that will render you immune to all other Status
changes, and these are Resist, Petrify and Peerless. Petrify is very similar
to being K.O'd and Peerless is another term for Invincible (only Aeris's
Limits can grant the Peerless Status). Note that whilst under Resist you can
still undergo Status changes from the handicaps at the Battle Square.
{Added Effect}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.09 B - Added Effect Materia
Very much like the Elemental Materia, the Added Effect Materia will protect
you from a Status change if you pair it with the associated Materia whilst
placing it in your armour. Similarly, placing it on your weapon will make you
attack with the associated Status.
There is only one piece of Added Effect Materia in the whole game, and you
*must* obtain whilst traversing through the Cave of The Gi on Disk 1. If you
miss picking it up then you'll have permanently missed out on it, see section
D1.14 B for the walkthrough.
NOTE - A Lv1 Time on your weapon paired with Added Effect *will* make your
attacks hit with Slow and Stop, whereas a Lv1 Time paired with, let's
say, Sneak Attack will only make your player caste Haste.
To see a full list of every Status that you are attacking with and defending
against, go into the 'Status' screen, then use confirm to navigate to the
Status tab (third one in). Not all available Statuses are shown within this
window - only 26 of the available 35 are shown.
You won't be able to fully utilise the awesomeness of the Added Effect
Materia until you manage to obtain the Hades Materia from the Sunken Gelnika.
Pairing them together will make you attack with/protect from: Sleep, Poison,
Confusion, Silence, Frog and Small. (Just) before you are able to grab the
Hades Materia you will be able to get the Contain Materia from Mideel, which
will make you attack/protect with/from: Confusion, Petrify and Stop
(regardless of what level Contain is at).
Here is a list of every piece of Materia that is pairable with Added Effect:
MATERIA: | INFLICTS/DEFENDS: | FOUND:
| |
Poison | Poison | Hojo's Laboratory
Choco/Mog | Stop | Chocobo Ranch
Seal | Sleep, Silence | Junon
Transform | Frog, Small | Mt. Corel
Mystify | Confusion, Berserk | Gongaga Village
Time | Slow, Stop | Gongaga Village
Destruct | Death | Shinra Mansion
Odin | Death | Shinra Mansion
Contain | Confusion, Petrify, Stop | Mideel
Hades | Sleep, Poison, Confusion, | Sunken Gelnika
| Silence, Frog, Small |
>From what I can gather, each Status that is paired to you weapon will have a
31% chance of inflicting the enemy with that Status when attacking. That's
31% per each individual Status, not the Materia itself i.e. with Hades it
*won't* hit with all or nothing if you catch my drift. Thanks to NFITC1 for
clarifying that figure (31%).
This chart depicts the amount of enemies that are immune (IMM) and vulnerable
(VUL) to each Status:
(There are 295 enemies in total. 4 of
these will be fully cured by Death)
_________________________________ ______________________________________
| STATUS | IMM || VUL | | STATUS | IMM || VUL |
+-----------+-------++------------+ +----------------+-------++------------+
| Death | 102 || 189 (64%) | | Frog | 216 || 79 (27%) |
|-----------+-------||------------| |----------------+-------||------------|
| Sleep | 96 || 199 (67%) | | Small | 171 || 124 (42%) |
|-----------+-------||------------| |----------------+-------||------------|
| Poison | 77 || 218 (74%) | | Petrify | 121 || 174 (59%) |
|-----------+-------||------------| |----------------+-------||------------|
| Confusion | 153 || 142 (48%) | | Death Sentence | 127 || 168 (57%) |
|-----------+-------||------------| |----------------+-------||------------|
| Silence | 81 || 214 (73%) | | Manipulate | 157 || 138 (47%) |
|-----------+-------||------------| |----------------+-------||------------|
| Slow | 27 || 268 (91%) | | Berserk | 127 || 168 (57%) |
|-----------+-------||------------| |----------------+-------||------------|
| Stop | 111 || 184 (62%) | | Paralyzed | 126 || 169 (57%) |
+---------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------+
Slow is by far the best Status to equip on your weapon, followed by Silence,
Sleep and then Stop. Dis-regard Poison as the Status isn't really effective
enough to consider using it. Before you can acquire Hades and Contain, the
two best pieces of Materia to link with Added Effect are Time and Seal, both
of which you will have obtained by the time you acquire the Added Effect.
Seeing as you cannot exactly inflict Near-death on an opponent, there is no
need to include it on this list. The same applies for Sadness, Fury, Slow-
Numb and Darkness. Saying that, Darkness *can* be inflicted on an opponent,
but due to poor programming it will not have any effect on them whatsoever
(rendering the item 'Ink' useless).
NOTE - The only way to inflict Fury on an enemy is to have a player use a
Hyper in-battle, then inflict that player with Confusion before he's
managed to cast it, then hope that the enemy is hit with the Hyper. If
you are successful then the opponents accuracy will have dropped by
30%, which is the only way of inflicting the 'Darkness' effect.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.09 C - Additional Information
1) COLOUR PRIORITIES:
If your character is inflicted with a particular Status then he/she will
sometimes turn a specific colour. If that character is inflicted with more
than one Status then the game will choose which colour you character should
be based on the colour priorities as follows: (credit: TFergusson)
H | Slow-numb | Poison | Berserk | Peerless | Darkness | Regen | Manip. | L
I |___________|________|_________|__________|__________|________|________| O
G | | | | | | | | W
H | Grey | Green | Red | Yellow | Black | Orange | Cyan |
2) STATUSES THAT NEGATE EACH OTHER:
Some Status changes will cancel out certain other Statuses:
Death/K.O. - negates - All other Statuses (excluding Frog and Small)
Sleep - negates - Manipulate
Stop - negates - Manipulate
Paralyzed - negates - Manipulate
Petrify - negates - Manipulate and Slow-numb
Sadness - negates - Fury
Fury - negates - Sadness
Haste - negates - Slow
Slow - negates - Haste
3) {DESPELL}:
DeSpell will clear Haste, Slow, Stop, Regen, Barrier, MBarrier, Reflect,
Shield, Death Force and Resist. If you were to use a Holy Torch then you
would *not* clear Death Force or Resist. DeBarrier will only clear Barrier,
MBarrier, Reflect and Shield.
Gi Nattak is the only enemy that will cast DeBarrier, and only the Valron and
Safer-Sephiroth will cast DeSpell, however Emerald WEAPON has several moves
that act as DeSpell would.
4) TIFA'S POWERSOUL AND MASTER FIST:
There are two weapons that Tifa uses that are greatly enhanced when Tifa is
inflicted with various de-buffs:
{Powersoul} - Found in a chest at Mt. Nibel. Attack= 28. 4 x unlinked slots,
double growth. When Tifa is inflicted with Death Sentence the
attack power is quadrupled, and when she is in Near-death the
attack power is doubled. Effects stack for a maximum of 8x
normal power.
{Master Fist} - Found in a chest in the Shinra HQ on Disk 2. Attack= 38. 6 x
unlinked slots, normal growth. When Tifa is inflicted with
either Near-death, Poison, Sadness, Silence, Slow or Darkness,
her attack power will be doubled, and when she is inflicted
with Death Sentence or Slow-numb her attack power will be
tripled. Effects stack for a maximum of 11x normal power.
5) {CURSE RING}:
Found on Disk 2 during the Mideel sequence (before it has been destroyed),
and then again from Ultimate WEAPON by stealing from it (aerial fight only).
It is possible to miss the Curse Ring completely.
The Curse Ring will grant the bearer +35 Strength, +35 Magic, +15 Vitality,
+15 Spirit, +15 Dexterity and +10 Luck, but will also inflict Death Sentence
at the beginning of each battle. This is easily overcome by casting Death
Force, wearing Added Effect=Destruct or just by killing your foes quickly.
Tifa is the best candidate for the Curse Ring as her aforementioned weapons
will gain a considerable boost in attack power when under Death Sentence.
6) CONTAIN:
At level 1, Contain (Freeze) will potentially inflict Stop. At level 2
(Break) it may inflict Petrify, at level 3 (Tornado) it may inflict Confusion
and at level 4 (Flare) it will not cause a Status change. Pairing Contain
with Added Effect will grant all 3 effects, regardless of the level of
Contain.
7) OTHER RANDOM BITS OF INFO:
- Esuna will not heal Slow or Stop.
- Vincent in Limit Break mode and Sephiroth in the flashback gain immunity
to Berserk, Frog and Confusion.
- If a target is immune to a Status then the word 'miss' will not appear
above their head when a Status changing move is cast on them.
- Under the Peerless Status you will still be susceptible to Imprisoned.
- White Wind and Angel Whisper will not cure Fury or Sadness, however
sleeping at an Inn will.
- If a target is immune to either Slow or Haste then they will have immunity
to both Statuses. If a target is immune to Death then they are immune to
Death Sentence (but not vice-versa).
- Some creatures are weak to Statuses and will take double damage when using
certain Status changing attacks, Such as Palmer who is weak to Sleep.
- The Ribbon will protect against all negative Statuses excluding Death,
Slow and Stop. You will still be able to inflict yourself with Fury and
Sadness outside of battle using Hypers and Tranquilizers.
- {Dual} is a dummied out Status and it is unclear what it was intended for,
although when using a gameshark, 'Dual' will be displayed as the name for
the Status Seizure.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.09 D - Negative Statuses (15)
The Ribbon is the best Accessory to use to defend yourself against negative
Statuses, as it will protect you against most of them excluding Death, Slow &
Stop (but including Fury, Sadness and Berserk).
NOTE - Seeing as Fury, Sadness and Berserk have attributes that, depending
on your battle style, could be considered as positive OR negative, I
have categorised them in their own section - Supportive Statuses. I
have also included Manipulate in there.
Using Resist (Lv3 Heal) or a Vaccine will make your characters defend against
any Status, good or bad. Unfortunately, if you already had a nasty Status at
the time of Resist being cast, then that Status would be 'locked' onto your
player until the end of battle (this is particularly bad during the Battle
Square). Resist does not have a time limit, and can only be removed using
DeSpell or White Wind. Positive Statuses do not get locked.
Due to the nature of the way in which Statuses work, I have decided not to
list every enemy that is strong/weak against each Status area-by-area (as I
have done with the Elements), as this would require 295 entries per Status
over 16 Statuses (4720 entries). Noooooooo....
+-------------+
| {DEATH} | Visual: Character lies lifeless, HP is in red.
+-------------+
If you are hit with Death then your HP will drop to 0 and you'll be instantly
K.O'd. This differs from the K.O. Status slightly and would be better known
as Instant-Death (or Sudden Death). There are 102 enemies that are immune to
the Death Status and 189 enemies that are vulnerable. Unfortunately, the
Ribbon will not protect you from Death.
The time to protect yourself from Death would be at the North Crater, where
there are 8 different attacks that can inflict Death upon you. Also, some
Undead creatures will be fully healed by casting Death upon them, namely the
Ghost, Zenene, Ghost Ship and Dragon Zombie. Regen however will *not*
gradually harm them as it is not of the Element Restorative. You first obtain
a Death based Materia when you reach Nibelheim; Odin. Shortly after you'll
receive the Destruct Materia.
The Resist Status will also protect you from (instant) Death, as will the
Enemy Skill Death Force. Just remember that DeSpell or White Wind will remove
the Death immunity. Also, when you are K.O'd you will be cured of every other
Status, excluding Frog and Small.
NOTE - If an enemy is immune to Death then some of the below attacks will
use an alternative attack that damages the opponent/s normally, such
as Vincent's Satan Slam, or Odin's Steel Blade Sword (Gunge Lance will
be used instead). Other attacks will simply miss.

+------------------+
| {NEAR-DEATH} | Visual: Character kneels down, HP is in yellow.
+------------------+
When one of your characters HP falls below 25% they will be considered in the
'Near-death' (or 'Critical') Status. The only way you can be cured is by
healing your character as normal, this wouldn't really be regarded as a
'traditional' negative Status. There are only a few ways in which this can
affect the you other than aesthetically:
Tifa has two weapons that will double in attack power when her health is
critical, these are the Master Fist and Powersoul. The attack power will also
triple if she is inflicted with death Sentence (effects stack).
There are two weapons that have attack power that is proportionate to the
wielders HP, and these are: Ultima Weapon (Cloud's ultimate weapon) and HP
Shout (Cait Sith's ultimate weapon). The attack power of these weapons will
drop considerably when in Near-death, and the Ultima Weapon will turn blue.
Strong Gravity based attacks such as Demi3 will place your characters into
Near-death (unless you have Elemental counter-measures in place). Some of the
final bosses in the game will use attacks that will drop your HP straight
into critical. Should you wish to inflict Near-death upon an enemy then the
only two moves you can consider are L4 suicide and Demi3.
+-------------+
| {SLEEP} | Visual: Character kneels down, Zzz appears above head
+-------------+
Whilst inflicted with Sleep you won't be able to select a command. The Status
will wear off after 12 turns (approx), or until you are hit with a physical
attack (a magic attack won't count). You obtain your first Sleep based magic
(Seal Materia) on your first visit to Junon.
NOTE - It's pretty difficult to explain how the time units work, explore
TFergusson's Battle Mechanic FAQ for more info. You characters
Dexterity , the ATB settings ('Wait' or 'Active') and the Battle
Speed itself will vary the amount of turns your character is
affected by a particular Status.
There are 96 enemies that are immune to Sleep, and 199 enemies that are
vulnerable, making the Seal Materia one of the best Materias to equip on your
weapon at an early point in the game (you'll also hit with a chance of
inflicting Silence). The Enemy Skill Frog can be used to cure you of Sleep
but only if you are inflicted with Frog also.
Later on in the game when you have managed to obtain 3 copies of the Added
Effect Materia (by mastering two of them), you could try equipping all three
characters with Seal on their weapons to potentially keep your enemies in a
state of permanent sleep!

+--------------+
| POISON | Visual: Character kneels down, flashes green
+--------------+ {Poison Status}
If your character is afflicted with poison then they will periodically lose a
small chunk of health, specifically 1/32 of their Max HP (3.125%) will be
deducted every 1.5 turns (approx) until they are cured or the battle ends.
Unlike other games in the Final Fantasy series, Poison will not remain with
the character post battle. You first obtain the Poison Materia when you raid
the Shinra HQ on Disk 1.
It's important to note that the Poison Element and the Poison Status differ
from each other in the sense that while an attack may hit you with Poison
Elemental damage, it may not inflict you with the Poison Status, and vice-
versa. 77 enemies are immune to Poison and 218 are vulnerable.
If you 'Nullify' Poison (Lv2 Elemental) then you would also by default be
considered 'Immune' to the Poison Status. If you were to 'Absorb' Poison (Lv3
Elemental) then being inflicted with the Poison Status would result in you
being healed by the infliction instead of being injured by it. Similarly,
being Immune to the Poison Status (Added Effect, Star Pendent) also means
Nullifying any Poison based Elemental attacks.
The last few thing to mention are: Lucky 7's. If you are afflicted with the
7777 Fever buff then you will receive 7777 HP worth of damage from the Poison
Status (which will mean Death). Also, the damage from Poison is considered to
be a self-inflicted hit, meaning your Limit gauge will not fill up nor will
you Counter Attack. If you receive Poison damage whilst in 'Defend' mode then
not only will you be taken out of defend, but also the damage will not be
reduced as the Poison (Status) ignores all defences.
NOTE - If an enemy�s HP is over 20,000 HP then they cannot be sensed. Their
HP can then be worked out by Poisoning them, or by using Chocobuckle.

| {CONFUSION} | Visual: Character spins around in circles (on axis)
+-----------------+
Whilst under Confusion (or Confuse, or Confu), a character will act of his
own accord and you'll lose complete control of him/her, very similar to
Berserk . The difference being that the afflicted player could also attack an
ally; whomever they happen to be facing at the time their ATB gauge fills up
will be the confused players next target, including themselves. Similar to
Sleep, the affliction can be cured by physically attacking the player.
Confusion is one of the worst Statuses in the game, and improper defences
could very easily lead to a Game Over screen. The most notorious locations
for having to deal with Confusion are the Shinra Mansion, where many
inexperienced players meet their demise against the Dorky Face, and then at
Gaea's Cliffs when you first meet the Malboro.
NOTE - You can obtain a Peace Ring very early on in the game; by completing
(and winning) 2 Fort Condor Battles. The Peace Ring's info is
misleading as it will not tell you that it protects from Confusion,
however when you check the Stats screen you'll see that you are
indeed protected.
There are 153 enemies that are immune to Confusion and 142 that are
vulnerable. The first time you can obtain a Confusion based Materia (Mystify)
is on your first visit to Gongaga, you will also find that a Lv3 Contain
(Tornado) will have a chance of inflicting Confusion, however you will be
granted Confusion when pairing with Added Effect with Contain regardless of
the level of the Contain.
If an enemy is inflicted with Confusion then the AI script will continue to
run as normal, only the 'Enemy' and 'Ally' flags will be reversed. If an item
is chosen by a player as their next move and that player then becomes
inflicted with Confusion, they will still continue to cast the selected item
only the target will now be chosen at random. This is the only way to inflict
an enemy with Fury.

Silence (also known as Mute) will have the effect of disabling all magical
spells, Summons and Enemy Skill attacks and will last until the end of battle
or until the affliction has been cured. 81 enemies are immune to Silence and
214 enemies are vulnerable. You can first obtain a Silence based Materia
(Seal) when you first visit Gongaga.
Due to the large quantity of enemies are weak to Silence, I would definitely
say this is one of the better Statuses to whack on your weapon, as there are
a large number of enemy attacks that would be better off 'Silenced'. The
Ribbon is the only accessory that will defend against Silence.

| {SLOW} | Visual: Character animation speed is halved
+------------+
The effect and the Status name are the same thing. You're characters ATB
gauge will fill up at half its normal rate, and will last until you are cured
or the battle ends. 27 enemies are immune to Slow and a staggering 268 are
vulnerable, making the Time Materia one of the best choices to pair with
Added Effect (which is first available in Gongaga).
Strangely enough, if you were to pair Time with Added Effect on your armour
then you would also gain immunity to Haste, even though this would not be
displayed on the Status screen. Equipping the Sprint Shoes would bypass this
immunity. Slow is one of 3 Statuses not covered by the Ribbon (along with
Stop and Death). Although Hades will inflict Slow when you summon him in-
battle, he will not grant Slow when using Added Effect. Esuna will not heal
Slow.
If you are inflicted with Slow then the benefit would be that some certain
effects such as Barrier, MBarrier, Slow-numb and Death-sentence will take
twice as long to wear off/count down. Slow can be cured by casting Haste on
the afflicted player, as can DeSpell. The most notorious area in the game for
having to deal with Slow is right at the beginning of the game in the Winding
Tunnels when fighting the Grashtrike. It is recommended that you turn the
Battle Speed up all the way for these encounters.

| {STOP} | Visual: Character animation completely stops
+------------+
There are 4 Statuses that render you incapacitated, and Stop is considered to
be the 2nd worst of them. The afflicted players ATB gauge will stop filling
up altogether and will last approximately 7 turns, or until the Status is
cured. There are 111 enemies that are immune to Stop and 184 enemies that are
vulnerable. The Time Materia can be bought from Gongaga.
A level 1 Time will still grant Slow and Stop when paired with Added Effect,
and is a brilliant choice up until Hades and Contain become available. You
cannot gain Stop from Hades, however you can gain it from Contain (along with
Petrify and Confusion), and also Choco/Mog, however the C-Mog is best
reserved for the Elemental Materia (I call it the 'C-Melemental', or even,
'the C-Mental combo').
Along with Slow and Death, Stop is one of the 3 Statuses not covered by the
Ribbon's effect. One of the slight benefits to Stop is that Barrier,
MBarrier, Regen etc. will also halt. The only difference between Stop and
Paralyze is the fact the you Limit Break *will* continue to fill whilst
'Stopped', whereas under Paralyze your Limits won't continue to fill,
although Paralyze does last roughly less than half the time of Stop. Esuna
will not heal Stop.

+------------+
| {FROG} | Visual: Character turns into a small frog
+------------+
Frog can be a real nasty Status if you're not adequately prepared, as you
will pretty much lose the ability to do everything! All you'll be able to do
is attack with 25% of your normal attack power (but not Limit Breaks), and
use the Item command (including W-Item). There are 216 enemies that are
immune to Frog, and only 79 that are vulnerable making Frog one of the worst
Statuses to use against the enemies.
NOTE - Unlike all other Statuses, Frog and Small will still be in effect
after the afflicted character is K.O'd.
Whilst inflicted with Frog you will still be able to use the command 'Toad'
to cure yourself, so long as you have the Transform Materia equipped (bought
from North Corel) or the Master Magic. The effect will last for as long as
the battle does, or until you are cured. You could also use the Enemy Skill
Frog Song to cure yourself, but you would have to be afflicted with Sleep
also for the cure to work.
Without a White Cape to protect yourself you'll soon realise why Frog is such
a pain when you first make your way through the forests of Gongaga. The Touch
Me have a 6x formation (so no escaping), and will keep you in a state of
permanent Frog. The Enemy Skill Frog Song is learnt here. Frog will also ruin
your day at the Battle Arena as it seems to appear quite frequently,
particularly in the lower rounds (Frog and Small have a chance of appearing
on every reel).

| {SMALL} | Visual: Character shrinks to roughly 20% of their normal size
+-------------+
Small (also known as Mini) isn't too detrimental provided you've got some
form of counter measure such as Esuna or White Wind equipped. You will still
be able to use every command as normal, only now your physical attacks will
inflict no more than 1 HP of damage! The effects will last until the battle
ends or the player is cured. 171 enemies are immune to Small and 124 enemies
are vulnerable, the Transform Materia can first be obtain in North Corel.
If you are K.O'd whilst 'Small' then you will not revert back to normal, the
same applies with Frog. There is only one point in the game that you need to
be wary of Small and this is when you're fighting the Hungry in Corral
Valley; they can remove a player from battle after that player has been
reduced to Small. The most common way of inflicting Small on an enemy is with
L4 Suicide, although Small usually isn't the desired effect.
Whilst traversing through the Cave of The Gi you will encounter a powerful
spider-like creature called Stinger. Using Mini on him is the best way to
deal with him, as his attacks are powerful enough to kill you in one blow.
There are very few enemies that will inflict you with Small. If you happen to
be inflicted with Petrify then you would be immune to every single Status
change... except Small that is.
Casting Small on your characters is a strategy used to activate 7777 Fever.
For more info use QSI Link [7777 Fever].

+-----------------+
| {SLOW-NUMB} | Visual: Character flashes grey, 30 second timer appears
+-----------------+
Also known as Slow Petrify, or Gradual Petrify, Slow-numb is a countdown to
the Status Petrify, which takes effect after approximately 6 turns. When you
are afflicted with Petrify you are flagged as 'Dead', and if all three of
your players become Petrified then you would be met with s Game Over screen,
and as such Slow-numb is a forced to be reckoned with, use Jem Rings and
Safety Bits.
There are no ways in which you can inflict Slow-numb, although there are
several ways in which you can inflict Petrify. Due to the similarities
between Slow-numb and Petrify I have combined the two 'associated Materia and
item/enemy attacks' sections below. The timing mechanisms of the game result
in Slow-numb being very dangerous at slow speeds, so it is recommended to
have your Battle Speed bar at a minimum of half way.
If you become inflicted with Slow-numb in the Battle Arena then the countdown
timer will carry through to the next round (Death Sentence however will not).
You must cure yourself otherwise the battle will be lost, use a Soft to cure
you from both Slow-numb and Petrify.
+---------------+
| {PETRIFY} | Visual: Character turns grey, animation completely stops
+---------------+
Petrify (or Stone) is one of the worst Statuses to fall victim to for
noobies, as a Petrified player is flagged as dead, which means 3 Petrified
players results in Game Over. No change can happen to the players HP, MP or
Status whilst Petrified, although funnily enough there is one exception; the
player can still be inflicted with Small. The affliction will last as long as
the battle lasts, or until they are cured. Petrified players will not receive
any EXP or AP. 121 enemies are immune to Petrify, 174 are vulnerable. Petrify
is first available on Disk 2 when you obtain the Contain Materia.
Of all 8 enemy attacks that inflict Petrify on you, only four of them
actually inflicts actual 'Petrify'; the rest inflict you with Slow-numb
(which helps). The Bagrisk is an enemy that holds an extremely rare item
called the Vagyrisk Claw, which can inflict Petrify on one target. The higher
your current level the lower the chance you'll have of stealing the item;
past level 78 and you'll have lost it forever. The only other place to obtain
one is from a Lv 19 or Lv 25 CMD. Grand Horn.
NOTE - An opponent that is defeated through Petrification will yield no
battle spoils. This helps for low-level challenges.
The most iconic place in the game that people remember for being wiped out by
Petrify is the Gagighandi in the forests near Gongaga, you won't have any
protection at that point so make use of Softs and White Wind (where would we
be without White Wind). Speaking of which, when you cast White Wind on an
Undead enemy it will also inflict them with Petrify.

| |
+============================================================================+
+----------------------+
| {DEATH SENTENCE} | Visual: Character kneels down, timer appears
+----------------------+
Also known as Doom, Death Sentence will act in virtually the same way as Slow-
numb, the main difference being that the countdown timer will be set to 60
(12 turns approx) as opposed to 30 (6 turns approx). If you are in Haste then
the timer will be set at 30. When the timer hits 0 you will be inflicted with
Death.
The only way in which you can inflict or be inflicted with Death Sentence is
via the Enemy Skill of the same name, which can be learnt in the Cave of The
Gi from the Gi Spector and Sneaky Step, and also in Corral Valley from the
Boundfat. Using Death Sentence on a character that is inflicted with the
Status Death Sentence will not cure your character of that Status, in fact
there is no way to cure a character that has been placed in Death Sentence.
The Curse Ring will increase all of your stats considerably, but will also
put your character in Death Sentence at the beginning of each battle. This
can be easily overcome by using the Enemy Skill Death Force, or by using
Added Effect=Destruct. If you have Tifa equipped with either the Master Fist
or Powersoul then her attack power will be tripled or quadrupled,
respectively.
As with Slow-numb, setting the Battle Speed to slow will make Death Sentence
very dangerous, and as such it is recommended that you have the speed set to
halfway (minimum). Whilst in the Battle Square Death Sentence will not carry
over from one fight to the next (unlike Slow-numb). Although a Ribbon will
not protect you from Death, it will protect you from Death Sentence. If an
enemy is immune to Death then they are also immune to Death Sentence.
+-----------------+
| {PARALYZED} | Visual: Character animation completely stops
+-----------------+
Paralyzed acts like Stop in almost every way, the two differences being that
you won't be able to act for roughly 2 rounds (as opposed to 7), and also
your Limit gauge won't fill up. There are 126 enemies that are immune to
Paralyze and 169 that are vulnerable.
NOTE - Using Dazers on Ruby WEAPON is one of the best ways of defeating her.
There are very few attacks that can inflict Paralyze on your enemies.
Although Hades will inflict Paralyze when summoning him in battle, he will
not grant the Paralyze ability when paired with Added Effect.

| {DARKNESS} | Visual: Character kneel down, starts flashing black
+----------------+
Darkness (aka Blind) will halve the accuracy of all physical attacks until
the ailment is cured or the battle ends. The only commands that are affected
are 'Attack', 'Morph', 'Deathblow', 'Mug', 'Slash-all', '2xCut' and '4xCut'.
Due to the fact that absolutely no enemies use the aforementioned commands,
inflicting Darkness upon an enemy is utterly pointless (rendering the Item
'Ink' obsolete).
The only way to inflict an enemy with a Status that acts as Darkness would is
to have a character us a Hyper in-battle. Before the character has been able
to cast the item, have the character inflicted with Confusion. If you are
lucky then the confused character will use the Hyper on the enemy inflicting
them with Fury, dropping their Hit% by 30%.

--E.09 E - Positive Statuses
It's worth pointing out that if you're characters had the 'Resist' Status
active then they would also be immune to positive Statuses, which isn't a
good thing. To remove Resist you must cast DeSpell or White Wind.
DeBarrier will clear Barrier, MBarrier, Reflect and Shield whereas as DeSpell
will clear all of the above barriers plus Haste, Slow, Stop, Regen, Death
Force and Resist. Every one of Emerald WEAPON's attacks will have its own
'Status removing' property.
+-------------+
| {HASTE} | Visual: Character's animation speed is doubled
+-------------+
Haste is probably the best positive Status in the game, and is the main
reason that you'll want to obtain the Enemy Skill Big Guard as soon as you
can. Making your ATB gauge fill at twice its normal rate, Haste really does
turn the tide in your favour, however certain other Statuses will then run
down more quickly, such as Regen, Death Sentence etc. Swings and roundabouts
I guess...
The Sprint Shoes are considered to be one of the best accessories in the game
(2nd to the Ribbon), and will set your characters up into auto-haste at the
beginning of each battle, with the added bonus of granting immunity to Slow.
They can be acquired in the Chocobo Square by winning 10 S Class matches in a
row, and at the Battle Square by talking to the woman at the bottom of the
stairs. Win 8 matches in the Arena then talk to her again.
Big Guard will grant Haste, Barrier and MBarrier to your party, and while
Barrier and MBarrier will drain over time, Haste will last for the entire
battle. You can obtain Big Guard by manipulating a Beach Plug found on the
beaches of the Gold Saucer Area after you've obtained the buggy. The earliest
point in the game that you can use Haste is by using Red XIII's 1-2 Limit
Break, Lunatic High. An immunity to Slow will also result in an immunity to
Haste.

+-------------+
| {REGEN} | Visual: Character flashes orange
+-------------+
Regen is one of the best ways of healing yourself, as your HP will
continuously refill whilst under its effect. The Status will last roughly 10
turns, and is far more effective than using Cure3 in terms of MP consumption.
The rate is which your HP recovers works out to roughly 10% of your max HP
every turn.
The only way to cast Regen is through a Lv3 Restore, and the only way to
remove it is through DeSpell or Holy Torch (and also Emerald WEAPON's
attack - Emerald Beam). Casting Regen on an Undead enemy will *not* make
their health gradually deplete over time seeing as Regen is not of the
restorative Element (whereas moves such as Cure will harm the Undead).
+---------------+
| {BARRIER} | Visual: Grey shield surrounds character, Barrier bar filled
+---------------+
Whilst under the influence of Barrier you will halve all physical attacks.
Every time the player gets hit and the Status takes effect a grey shield will
surround the character, as the effect wears off the shield will get smaller.
Barrier will last approximately 10 turns, and won't last as long if you are
under Haste, but will last twice as long if you are under Slow.
The Barrier 'gauge' is situated to the right of the character�s name and is
the upper of the two bars; it's colour is red. Big Guard is the most
favourable way to set up Barrier, failing that you can use Wall.

+--------------+
| {MBARRIER} | Visual: Pink shield surrounds character, MBarrier bar filled
+--------------+
Almost identical to Barrier, the only difference being that MBarrier will
halve all Magical attacks as opposed to physical attacks. MBarrier will last
as long as Barrier; 10 turns (approx). The main drawback to MBarrier is that
it will also halve the effects of healing spells such as Cure. As with
Barrier, the effect will last longer if the player is inflicted with Slow,
and won't last as long if the player is under Haste.
The Barrier 'gauge' is situated to the right of the character�s name and is
the lower of the two bars; it's colour is yellow. Big Guard is the most
favourable way to set up MBarrier, failing that you can use Wall.

| {REFLECT} | Visual: Green 'boomerang' appears in front of character

Reflect will make most magic spells bounce off of its target and reflected
back at the caster for up to 4 times. This can make healing quite tricky,
which is why most people avoid Reflect. If both parties have Reflect set-up
then the spell will bounce backwards and forwards 4 times, unless auto-
reflect is set-up in which case it will just bounce back once.
Reflect will last until the battle ends or until DeBarrier or DeSpell is
cast. The Mirage in the Shinra Mansion will always have auto-Reflect on, and
enemies that use Reflect are Jenova-LIFE, Gorkii and Proud Clod.

+--------------+
| {SHIELD} | Visual: Brown shield envelops character
+--------------+
Costing a whopping 180MP, Shield isn't very often used. Lasting approximately
6 turns, Shield will nullify all 5 'physical' Elements (Cut, Punch, Shoot,
Shout and Hit) as well as the Restorative Element, and it will absorb all 9
'main' Elements (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Poison, Gravity, Water, Wind
and Holy).
Shield will not defend against (non-elemental) physical attacks, nor will it
defend against Item damage (unless used through W-Item). This is a good thing
seeing as you'll still be able to heal yourself through the use of Items. No
enemies use Shield and the only way to remove Shield is through DeBarrier,
DeSpell and a Holy Torch.
You can obtain the Shield Materia in the Northern Cave, and you won't be able
to use it until it has reached Lv2 (which will require 10,000 AP). One of the
main problems with Shield is that there is no visible way of telling when it
has worn off, also you cannot pair it with All.
+----------------+
| {PEERLESS} | Visual: Character flashes yellow
+----------------+
Peerless is basically the 'invincible' Status and can only be cast through 2
of Aeris's Limit Breaks:- 3-1 Planet Protector and Lv4 Great Gospel. Peerless
will last appropriately 6 turns and whilst under the Status you will also be
immune to all Status changes, whilst also locking any existing Statuses in
(similar to Resist). Peerless cannot be removed using DeSpell.
The only Status the you will be vulnerable to whilst under Peerless is
Imprisoned, however the only enemies that can inflict Imprisoned are Reno I,
Bottomswell and Jamar Armor, and it is unlikely you will have unlocked
Aeris's 3-1 Limit for the first two battles (although possible), and Jamar
Armor is on Disk 2.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.09 F - Supportive Statuses
There are four Statuses that act slightly differently to the conventional
'Positive' and 'Negative' Statuses, these are Sadness, Fury, Manipulate and
Berserk.
+---------------+
| {SADNESS} | Visual: Limit bar turns blue
+---------------+
The virtual opposite to Fury, Sadness will act in both positive and negative
ways. The bonus being that it will reduce all damage taken by 30%, the
downside being that it will reduce the speed your Limit gauge fills by half.
This is especially helpful for certain bosses such as the Midgar Zolom, or
Emerald WEAPON.
Sadness and Fury are the only two Statuses in the game that will remain with
your player after the battle has ended. You can self-inflict Sadness by using
a Tranquilizer (which will also cure Fury, but not simultaneously). If you
have a Ribbon equipped then you will be protected from Sadness during a
battle but you will still be able to inflict it upon yourself outside of
battle.
Self-inflicting Sadness is particularly useful once you have acquired Tifa's
Master Fist towards the end of Disk 2, as it will double her attack power.
Using White Wind or Angel Whisper will *not* cure you of Sadness/Fury, but
sleeping in an Inn will.
It is possible to inflict Sadness on an enemy by casting Confusion on a
player that is about to use a Tranquilizer, but seeing as an enemy has no
Limit bar, there would be absolutely no point in doing this as you would just
be aiding the enemy by giving them a defence boost.

+============================================================================+
+------------+
| {FURY} | Visual: Limit bar turns red
+------------+
The opposite to Sadness, Fury will double the speed in which your Limit bar
fills, making Fury a very popular choice when it comes to Leveling up your
Limit Breaks. The flip-side being that all of your attacks will drop in
accuracy by 30%.
As with Sadness, you will not lose the Status once the battle has finished.
White Wind and Angel Whisper will not cure you of Fury, although Esuna will,
along with seeping in an Inn. A hyper will cure you of Sadness but will also
inflict you with Fury (but not simultaneously).
The only way to inflict an enemy with Fury is to cast Confu on a player, then
have that player select the command 'Hyper' before he/she is inflicted with
Confusion. If successful, the confused player will through the Hyper at an
enemy, dropping their accuracy by 30%. This is the only way to imitate the
Status 'Darkness' seeing as Darkness will have no effect whatsoever on the
enemy (due to poor programming).
You can still inflict yourself with Fury by using a Hyper whilst wearing a
Ribbon, provided that you do so outside of battle.

+============================================================================+
+------------------+
| {MANIPULATE} | Visual: Enemy turns Cyan and faces the opposite way
+------------------+
Manipulate is easily one of the most useful Statuses in the game, and can
only be inflicted upon the enemy. Whilst the target is under Manipulate, the
caster will have (almost) total control of the enemies commands, and will
continue to do so until the target has been hit with a physical blow. 157
enemies are immune to Manipulate and 138 are vulnerable. The easiest way to
identify as to whether or not an enemy is immune or vulnerable is to take
note of the 'miss' sign that may or may not appear above the enemies head; If
it doesn't appear then the enemy is immune.
Regardless of how many commands the enemy has to use, you will only be able
to utilise the top three commands; because of this you will not be able to
learn White Wind from the Wind Wing in the Whirlwind Maze (unless you cast
Confusion on it). Using manipulated enemies to attack your players is the
best way to fill their Limits up; the Valron near Nibelheim (on the World
Map) is the ideal enemy for this as his Dive kick will deal damage equal to
1/4 of your max HP (Fury helps also).
You can first lay your hands on the Manipulate Materia when you first enter
the Gold Saucer on Disk 1 (Cait Sith will have it equipped on him). It is
only then will you be able to access certain Enemy Skills such as Big Guard
(learnt from the Beach Plug) and White Wind (learnt from the Zemzelett). The
other Enemy Skills that cannot be learned without the use of Manipulate are
Death Force, Angel Whisper and Dragon Force.
If the caster is wearing a HypnoCrown (found in the City of The Ancients)
then the succession rate of manipulating an enemy would be 100%, provided the
enemy wasn't immune. Otherwise, the higher the level difference between the
caster and its target, the higher the chance the caster has of manipulating,
which is why Cloud is always the best character to use Manipulate. An enemy
cannot be Manipulated if it is already inflicted with Paralyzed, Sleep, Stop,
Petrify or Resist (or is already Manipulated). Casting Paralyzed, Sleep,
Stop, Petrify or White Wind on the target will clear the Manipulate Status.
The enemy Skill 'Dragon Force' can be found on the Blue Dragons attack list,
however cannot be learned due to the fact that he cannot be inflicted with
Manipulate nor Confusion. The SOLDIER:2nd has a slightly amusing glitch; have
a Manipulated SOLDIER:2nd attack a fellow SOLDIER:2nd and the result will be
a stand-off between the two SOLDIERs until one of them dies!
The colour priority of Manipulate is at the bottom of the scale, so if
another Status was to be inflicted onto the manipulated enemy then the colour
would likely change to suit the new Status.
+---------------+
| {BERSERK} | Visual: Character flashes red
+---------------+
Berserk can be a very useful Status to have inflicted upon your players.
Similar to Confusion, you will lose all control over the affected player, and
when their ATB gauge fills up they will use the 'Attack' command
automatically. The biggest difference being that the 'Berserked' player will
only attack the enemy (as opposed to potentially harming your teammates), and
their attack power will increase by 50%.
The Status will not be cured by a hit from a physical blow as Confusion is;
it will last until it is cured or until the battle ends. There are 127
enemies that are immune to Berserk, and 168 that are vulnerable. Although
inflicting an enemy with Berserk may sound like a bad idea, Berserk will
actually limit the amount of attacks that an enemy will use, and can render
some powerful foes not-so-powerful. If an enemy doesn't have a specific
attack to use whilst Berserked then they won't be able to attack you at all!
Also, an enemy that hits for 150% of his normal attack power could help with
Limit Break Leveling.
The Fury Ring can be bought from Gongaga Village and will place your
character in Auto-Berserk. This strategy can be very advantageous when placed
on your strongest attacker, such as Barret or Vincent; Vincent's Limit Breaks
work very similar to Berserk, also. Whilst Vincent is in his transformed
state he will be immune to the Berserk Status. The Fury Ring is best used
when you are undergoing Yuffie's Sidequest in Wutai.
Lastly, whilst a character is inflicted with Berserk they will never have
critical attacks, meaning a character with very high Luck will be of more
value to you than a player inflicted with Berserk. Added Cut=Deathblow is a
better game plan, although the Added Cut Materia isn't available until you
reach the Great Glacier on Disk 2.

--E.09 G - Unlisted Statuses
There are 9 Statuses that are not listed on the 'Status' menu:
- POSITIVE:
~Death Force~ ~Resist~ ~7777 Fever~ ~Lucky Girl~ ~Back Row~ ~Defend~
- NEGATIVE:
~Imprisoned~ ~Seizure/Dual~ ~K.O~
Some of these unlisted Statuses would be better described as 'conditions', as
they act more passively than the main 'listed' 24 Statuses. Note that using
DeSpell will remove Resist and Death Force, whereas using a Holy Torch will
not. Resist will not protect you from any of the unlisted Statuses.
+-------------------+
| {DEATH FORCE} |
+-------------------+
Whilst under the influence of Death Force your character will gain immunity
to Death until the end of battle, or until DeSpell or White Wind is cast on
the character, or the character is K.O'd. If a move that inflicts Death is
cast upon the player under Death Force, the player will still have Death
immunity for the remainder of the battle. If Death Sentence is cast on a
player immune to Death then the countdown will continue to run down, but the
player will not die once the countdown has finished. A Holy Torch will not
remove Death Force.
Death Force can be cast using the Enemy Skill of the same name, and can be
learned from the enemy Adamantaimai which can be found lurking on the shores
of Wutai. The Adamantaimai will never use Death Force, and the only way for
you to learn it is through use of the Manipulate Materia. To utilise Death
Force properly all three players must have learned the Enemy Skill, otherwise
a player that has used Death Force on themselves would lose their immunity to
Death should they then cast Death Force on another player. Death Force costs
3MP to use.
There are only two moves in the game that override the Death immunity, and
both can be found on Cait Sith's 'Slots' Limit Break - Death Joker and Game
Over. The only times that you'll need to use Death Force is against the Joker
in Gold Saucer Area, the Tonberry in the Battle Square, and up in the North
Crater: Parasite, Master Tonberry, Gargoyle, Allemagne, Scissors, Christopher
and Death Dealer. Death Force is also very useful if you are using the Curse
Ring.
+--------------+
| {RESIST} |
+--------------+
Resist will protect you from all Statuses, good or bad, and can be used via a
level 3 Heal Materia (costing 150MP), or from a 'Vaccine'. Resist will also
lock in any current Status that you currently have applied on you, excluding
Barrier, MBarrier, Reflect, Shield, Regen and Peerless. This can be a very
bad thing seeing as Resist will last either until the end of battle, or until
it is cured which can be done using either by using White Wind or DeSpell.
Using a Holy Torch will *not* remove Resist.
Resist can be disastrous in the Battle Arena, as it will *not* protect you
from Status changes received from handicaps. Resist will instead lock those
Statuses in place, making it potentially very difficult to remove the
inflicted Statuses once they have been applied.
+------------------+
| {7777 FEVER} |
+------------------+
NOTE - This is basically a condensed down version of section E.18 A.
7777 Fever, or All Lucky 7's is an easter egg that occurs when a character's
current HP falls on precisely 7777. When this happens, the character will
enter into a Berserk-like Status where they will begin attacking the enemy
non-stop for 7777 HP worth of damage each attack. After 64 attacks the buff
will end, resulting in a total of 497,728 HP worth of damage. The 'attack' is
considered to be one move, and the enemy will not be able to use their
commands until you have finished attacking.
If more than one player enters into 7777 Fever in a battle, then the result
would *not* be an additional 64 attacks; All Lucky 7's can only yield a
maximum of 64 attacks per battle, regardless of whether the attacks come from
just one or all three players. You will regain normal control of your
characters once they have finished attacking, the only difference being they
will now heal for 7777 HP every time a healing move/item is used (Potions,
Phoenix Downs etc.). Also, every time they hit the enemy they will do so for
7777 HP worth of damage. These effects will last until the battle ends or the
characters HP changes. Once the battle has finished, the affected player's HP
will be reduced to 1, restricting 7777 Fever's re-usage.
Whilst inflicted with 7777 Fever, the character's name will flash the same
rainbow colours as the 'Limit' command, and the message bar will turn the
same shade of purple as if a Limit Break was being used. Similarly, as soon
as the player enters into the 7777 state, they will begin attacking without
delay. Critical hits will never be used and all Elemental and Status changing
properties will be suspended. There are only a few enemies that will be left
standing once the bombardment of attacks have finished, namely some of the
WEAPONs.
It is possible for an enemy to enter into 7777 Fever, if this happens then
consider escaping from the battle as your whole team would be in danger of
being wiped out. If a player enters into 7777 Fever whilst Poisoned, then the
result would be 7777 HP worth of damage (killing them instantly), seeing as
the damage taken from Poison would count as self-inflicted damage. Also,
during the very final battle with Sephiroth, 7777 Fever is disabled. This is
the only battle in the game where this will occur.
METHODS OF ENABLING 7777 FEVER:
1.) If the last two digits of your HP fall on 77 then you can use Hi-Potions
and Potions to bring your HP to 7777. One method of doing this would be
to equip the following:
A Manipulate, Transform (or 2x 'Shrivel') and Goblin Punch Enemy Skill x 2.
Don't equip Mega-All or Slash-All, don't have your Limit Breaks filled up
and don't have the player with Manipulate equipped with Transform or
Enemy Skill. Speed up the Battle Speed all the way.
Enter into a battle and immediately Manipulate the enemy, killing off any
of its companions. Cast Haste (or Big Guard) and then have all two of
your players inflicted with Small (using Shrivels or the Transform
Materia). Goblin Punch will always inflict 8 HP, so long as your players
are the same level as each other, so you can keep using that until the
last two digits are lower than 85 but above 77; if they fall on 85
exactly then you can use Goblin Punch one more time to bring it down to
exactly 77. Otherwise, you can have your players attack one another for
1HP of damage until their HP lands on precisely 77.
B Another method of doing this would be to equip the Cat's Bell, which will
recover 2HP per step. You would then need to run around until the last
three digits fall on 154, 354, 554, 754 or 954. You would then need to
cast Demi2 or Laser to reduce your HP by half, resulting in the final 2
digits being 77.
C If you find that the last two digits of your *Max* MP are sitting on 77,
then you can quickly swap HP<->MP on and off again to bring the last two
digits of your HP to 77.
2.) Whilst fighting Emerald WEAPON, it will occasionally use the move AIRE
TAM (Materia spelt backwards). This move will inflict 1111 HP worth of
damage for every piece of Materia you have equipped on one character. The
damage does not stack; if Yuffie had 3 pieces and Cid had 5 pieces, the
resulting damage would *not* be 8888 HP. Yuffie would receive 3333 HP and
Cid would receive 5555 HP.
Go into battle with just 2 pieces of Materia equipped on one of your
characters, making sure that one of the pieces is HP Plus, as to bring
your Max HP to 9999. Making sure that the player's HP is always topped to
the max, when Emerald uses Aire Tam Storm the resulting damage would be
2222, bringing the player's HP down to bang on 7777, activating 7777
Fever.
3.) Every time you escape from battle (using L1&R1), or by using the Exit
Materia), Chocobuckle will gain 1HP worth of damage. If you were to
escape from a total of 2222 battles then Chocobuckle will deal 2222 HP
worth of damage with every hit, making it possible to bring your Max HP
of 9999 down to 7777.
5.) You can manipulate your Max HP stats by using Materia that increases and
decreases your Max HP, such as Summons, Magic Materia, HP Plus Materia
etc. You can try to figure out using trial and error a way to have your
Max HP sitting xx77. This can be very difficult and long-winded to do....
UNLESS
You have a walkthrough!!!! See section E.18 A - Lucky 7's for a quick and
easy reference on how to modify your HP accordingly to achieve 7777 Fever
using Magic and Summon Materia. All credit for that section goes to James
Baxter.
+------------------+
| {LUCKY GIRL} |
+------------------+
Lucky Girl is activated by using Cait Sith's level 2 Limit Break 'Slots';
lining up 3 Hearts will have Cait Sith inflict the party with Lucky Girl.
Whilst under the Status, all characters will hit for Critical Hits until the
battle ends, or until the character is K.O'd.
Use QSI Link [Slots] to find out how to manipulate the reels to land on 3
Hearts.
+----------------+
| {BACK ROW} |
+----------------+
To place your characters in the back row you must go into the Menus, select
'Order' and then double-press confirm to move your characters from the front
row to the back and vice-versa. A character positioned to the right hand side
is placed in the back row. You can also arrange your characters position mid-
battle by pressing left on the D-pad, then confirm.
Whilst placed in the back row, characters will deliver and receive half
damage from all physical attacks, whilst characters in the front row will
deliver and receive normal damage. Magic remains completely unaffected by
which row you are in. The enemy will also conform to row patterns, and an
enemy that is in the back row will receive 1/4 damage from one of your
characters that is placed in the back row. If the enemy has three rows, then
all enemies in the back two rows will be considered in the back row. If a
character has the Cover Materia equipped, then they will still receive half
damage even if they are defending someone in the front row.
For the start of the game I recommend keeping all of your characters in the
front row, seeing the extra damage incurred will help towards Leveling up
your Limit Breaks early on. There are four characters who yield long ranged
weapons - Yuffie, Vincent, Barret and Red XIII. Whilst equipped with a long
ranged weapon, a character will do the same damage in the back row as they
would in the front, but still receive half damage from physical attacks. The
Long Range Materia also has the same effect of equipping a long ranged weapon.
There are certain creatures that are considered to be 'flying', such as
Hundred Gunner, Zuu, or Bottomswell. These creatures will not be able to be
hit by physical attacks, unless the attacker is long-ranged. The Hell Rider
VR2 uses a move called Electromag which will swap your characters 'row'
positions around. Also, When you fight the boss Motor Ball (at the end of the
Midgar Highway) your rows will be reversed.
Uncommonly you will find that the 'column' formation of the enemy will result
in you being unable to attack an enemy that is in the back row, although this
occurs infrequently.
+--------------+
| {DEFEND} |
+--------------+
By pressing right on the D-pad during battle followed by confirm, you can opt
to 'defend' for one turn, halving all physical damage taken during that time.
If you were placed in the back row then you would receive 1/4 damage. Do not
opt to Defend if you are Poisoned; the Poison damage would take you out of
Defend. You will not receive 1/2 Poison damage.
+------------------+
| {IMPRISONED} |
+------------------+
Imprisoned is one of the worst Statuses in the game, and luckily there are
only 3 attacks in the whole game that can Imprison a character; all being
Bosses. Whilst inflicted with Imprisoned, the character will no longer be
able to act, nor will they be flagged as a target, and instead a new enemy
will take the characters place. The new enemy must then be killed, usually by
a single physical blow, in order to free the inflicted character.
An Imprisoned player is flagged as dead, so if all three players become
Imprisoned then it's Game Over. Like Petrify, your current HP is maintained.
The first of the three bosses that use Imprisoned is Reno I fought at the top
of the Support Tower in Sector 7. He will use an attack called Pyramid, which
will cast a Pyramid like structure around the inflicted player. A single
physical blow to the pyramid will cure the player.
The second enemy to use Imprisoned is Bottomswell, although he will also
inflict Seizure using an attack called Waterball. More details on Seizure
below. The Waterball must attacked with a magical attack in order to destroy
it.
The last Boss to use Imprisoned is Carry Armor in Junon's Underwater Reactor.
Both the Left Arm and the Right Arm can imprison a character using their move
Arm Grab, and then when Carry Armor uses either arm to attack, the Imprisoned
character will also take damage. If two players are Imprisoned and the third
is killed, then it'll be Game Over. The only way to free the character is to
kill the arm holding it, or if the afflicted character is killed.
+---------------+
| {SEIZURE} |
+---------------+
Seizure basically acts as a 'reversed-Regen', slowly draining your HP over
time at the exact same rate as Regen; casting Regen on a character under the
effect of Seizure would completely negate both effects.
Thankfully only one enemy in the game uses Seizure, and that is Bottomswell
which is fought on your first visit to Junon. Using an attack called
Waterball, Bottomswell will also inflict Imprisoned on you, and unlike Reno's
'Pyramid', you must free the afflicted character with a magical attack as
opposed to a physical attack.
'Dual' is a dummied out Status and serves no purpose whatsoever, although
using hacking devices Dual will sometimes be the Status name displayed in
place of Seizure.
+-----------+
| {K.O} |
+-----------+
If a player's HP runs down to 0, or if a player is inflicted with Death, then
they will be met by the condition 'K.O'. Whilst K.O'd, the character will lie
dead on the ground, their HP bar will be red and their ATB gauge will never
fill up. Also, the 'dead' flag will be checked for that character; if all
characters are flagged as dead then you will be met with a Game Over screen.
When a character is K.O'd, their Limit gauge will be reset to 0.
The only ways to heal someone from K.O is to use a Phoenix Down, Life, Life2,
Phoenix, Angel Whisper or sleeping in an Inn. K.O is one of three Statuses
that will carry over from battle to battle, the other two being Fury and
Sadness. If a character is not cured of K.O before a battle has finished then
they will not gain any EXP or AP.
NOTE - Being K.O'd and being dead are two very different things. That's why
you can't simply use a Phoenix Down on certain characters that die
within the game...

| {E.10} - Obtaining Vincent Valentine |
| |
| A - Shinra Mansion |
| B - Lost Number |
| C - Vincent |
| {Recruiting Vincent} |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.10 A - Shinra Mansion
Vincent Valentine is one of two 'hidden' characters that can be recruited,
along with Yuffie Kisaragi. See section E.07 for details on how to recruit
Yuffie. Vincent can be recruited from the point at which you visit Nibelheim
in Disk 1, and can be obtained at any point during the game thereafter. You
will unlock the 'Won't You Be My Valentine?' Trophy when you do recruit him.
Before anything else, make sure to have protection from Confusion when
navigating the Shinra Mansion (Peace Ring). Section D1.15 B will give you the
full walkthrough, whereas this section will only cover the recruiting process.
In order to recruit Vincent, you must open a safe located on the western wing
of the second floor. To work out the combination, you must first find the
note that can be found on the first floor in the south eastern room. The four
clues are as follows:
Clue 1: 'The lid of the box with the most oxygen.'
On the second floor in the western-most room you will find a
treasure chest. Examine it (after opening it) to receive the
first combination. - Right 36
Clue 2: 'Behind the ivory's short of tea and ray.'
On the first floor in the western-most room you will find a grand
piano. On the floor behind it you will find second combination.
- Left 10
Clue 3: 'The creek in the floor board near the chair on the second floor...
Then to the left five steps, up nine steps, left two steps and up six
steps.'
On the second floor eastern wing. Search the corridor, you'll find
the clue in a spot that is almost in-line with the chest (overhead
perspective). - Right 59
Clue 4: 'The fourth has been written in invisible ink....'
The fourth combination is hidden in plain sight. When selecting
which clue to read, bring the finger cursor down to the fourth line
to reveal the fourth combination. - Right 97
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
|\/\/\/\/\/\/\|''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''|\/\/\/\/\/\/\|

|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
When you're ready, save the game and head up to the second floor western wing
to try the safe combo. Be warned, when you have successfully opened the safe
you will be met with a Boss!
NOTES - Left 10 means that you have to go left to the number 10, and *not*
left 10 spaces from 36 (to 26).
- If you accidentally went past the number required then you will have
failed and you'll have to try again.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.10 B - Lost Number
Before fighting this Boss, equip Added Effect with either Time or
Choco/Mog, as he is vulnerable to Stop. Equip Elemental defence from
Lightning, Earth and/or Poison also.
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| If you are fighting Lost Number on your first ------Lv: | 35---------- |
| visit to Nibelheim, then you'll be in for a bit ------HP: | 7000-------- |
| of a challenge, as he is quite a high level. Be ------MP: | 300--------- |
| sure to cast Big Guard first and foremost, then -----EXP: | 2000-------- |
| just keep spamming heavy hitting magic moves, ------AP: | 80---------- |
| such as Beta. -----GIL: | 2000-------- |
| ----DROP: | Cosmo Memory |
| Once his health has dropped below 50%, one half -NULLIFY: | GRV--------- |
| of him will die. If the last move that hit him |
| was a magical attack, then his purple half will die, leaving just his red |
| half. This red half will be weak against physical attacks but strong |
| against magical attacks, and is the side that we wish to be left with. If |
| you had last hit him with a physical attack as his health dropped below |
| 50%, then you will be left his purple side which is weak against magical |
| attacks but strong against physical attacks. This half is more challenging |
| than the red half. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
When he is finished, you'll be rewarded with the 'Key to the Basement', which
you'll have to manually pick up from within the safe itself. You'll also be
able to pick up the Odin Materia on the floor to the left of the safe, and
you'll receive the Cosmo Memory after battle has finished, which is Red
XIII's Lv 4 Limit Break Manual.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.10 C - Vincent
Now that you have the key to the basement, you can unlock Vincent. Head
down into the basement, and before heading into the laboratory, head north
into the previously locked room. Here you will find a coffin. Interact with
it, then choose to talk about Sephiroth when prompted.
When you regain control of Cloud, interact with the coffin a second time and
select 'Who are you?' when prompted. After you have named Vincent, you will
learn about a woman named Lucrecia, and a little bit about Vincent's past.
When he resides back into his coffin, simply head towards the staircase
leading to the mansion and Vincent will decide to join you.
Vincent's starting level is worked out accordingly: Average party level + 3.
Very little is known about Vincent's past, if you wish to learn more about
him the you must wait until Disk 2 when you have obtained either the
Submarine, or a Green/Black/Gold Chocobo. You can then visit Lucrecia's cave
situated in North Corel and Gongaga.
Vincent is quite a powerful character to have on your team, as all of his
weapons are long-ranged. Two of his weapons have 255 Attack%, which means
they will hardly ever miss. This is especially handy when using Deathblow.
These weapons are the Sniper CR and the Long Barrel R.

| {E.11} - Yuffie's Materia 'Pick List' |
| {Yuffie's Pick List} |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
When you embark on Yuffie's sidequest, she will steal up to 48 pieces of
Materia from you. If you happen to be holding more than 48 pieces of Materia,
then you will be left with some pieces to play with.
The order of Materia that she will take are as follows:

������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.12 A - About Bone Village
The foreman to the left of the entrance will sell the following: (ALL DISKS)
+----------------------------+
| ITEM SHOP |
|----------------------------|
| Diamond Bangle | 3200 gil | You'll be able to find Bone Village on the
| Rune Armlet | 3700 gil | south side of the Northern Continent, and
| Potion | 50 gil | you'll first be able to visit the place once
| Hi-Potion | 300 gil | you have obtained the Tiny Bronco. Even
| Ether | 1500 gil | though the game will not demand that you
| Phoenix Down | 300 gil | visit Bone Village until after the Temple of
| Antidote | 80 gil | The Ancients sequence, you should still visit
| Eye Drop | 50 gil | the place as soon as possible in order to
| Hyper | 100 gil | obtain the Diamond Bangle and the Rune Armlet.
| Tranquilizer | 100 gil | The Rune Armlet is the only double growth
| Tent | 500 gil | armour in the game.
|________________|___________|
Just outside of Bone Village you'll be able to encounter the Vlakorados,
which is a red dragon of sorts. He has 33,333 HP and can take a very long
time to kill. The main incentive to fight them is the fact that they carry
the Carob Nut, which is an essential item for Chocobo breeding. Note that you
will not encounter enemies in the forest area surrounding Bone Village itself.
Past Bone Village you will find the Sleeping Forest. Every so often you will
notice a red orb floating upwards. Stand at the base of a tree and
continually press confirm to eventually obtain the red orb - the Kjata
Materia.
If you were to head north you would encounter a never ending screen-loop. The
only way to pass through is by using the Lunar Harp, and to do that you must
partake in the digging mini game.

--E.12 C - How The Game Works
Firstly, talk to the foreman. He will be sitting to the left of the
entrance near dig spot 3 (you can also buy the aforementioned armour here).
You will have the option of selecting Lunar Harp, Good Treasure or Normal
Treasure. Once you have selected your choice, you will be allowed to place up
to 5 workers in locations of your choice. Each worker will cost 100 gil.
Once you have placed your workers, select 'done' to detonate a bomb. Then,
each worker will face the direction of the chosen treasure. Using the map
above, you will then be able to triangulate the position of the treasure.
Once you have confirmed which position you would like to dig, you will spend
the night at Bone Village (also restoring you HP/MP). The treasure can then
be collected from the chest to the left of the entrance.
The interesting thing about the digging game is that you don't actually have
to place down any workers! So long as you know the locating of each treasure,
you can simply select 'done' before placing down any workers. The bonus to
doing this will be that you can select any search spot, regardless of which
treasure type you had selected i.e. you could select 'Normal Treasure', then
search spot 8 and you'll still receive the Lunar Harp, provided that you
hadn't placed any workers (and you hadn't already obtained it).
Using this knowledge, you could use the digging game to infinitely farm
Ethers on Spot 6 for free!
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.12 D - Glitches
There are 3 known 'bugs' related to the Bone Village digging game:
1) Phoenix. If you failed to obtain the Phoenix Materia from the Fort Condor
mission then you will be able to dig one up from Bone Village (Spot 5). It
is possible to obtain two un-mastered Phoenix Materias by simply not
collecting the Materia after the Fort Condor Huge Materia quest, until
after you've dug one up. You'll still be able to grab the Huge Materia,
and you'll still be able to return to the shack to grab the Materia at any
point in the game. Provided the Phoenix is not in your Materia inventory,
you'll be able to dig it up on Disk 3.
2) Kjata. Under normal circumstances, when you attempt to pick up a piece of
Materia with a full inventory, the game will not allow you to pick up that
piece until you have either discarded or sold some of your Materia. Kjata,
however, is bugged. If you attempted to pick it up with a full Materia
inventory, the game will still allow you to remove it from the field
without adding it to your inventory, thereby losing it permanently.
3) Steal Materia/Catastrophe. Written into the games coding is the ability to
dig up a Steal Materia and Barret's Lv 4 Limit Manual, Catastrophe. Seeing
as neither item is missable, it is suspected that these items were placed
as test dummies. There have been claims that the Steal Materia has been
dug up on a PSX version, although these claims may be untrue.

--E.13 A - About Ultimate Weapons
All ultimate weapons have a few things in common:
1) They will all have 0 growth, excluding Aeris's.
2) The all have 8 paired Materia slots, excluding Aeris's.
3) They will all have a special quality, gaining additional power when a
certain condition is met.
Due to the fact that your Materia will never level up whilst equipped to your
ultimate weapons, it is fair to say that they are not the most favourable of
weapons to use, although there aren't many weapons that surpass them in the
way of strength. The only weapons that can match up to these Ultimate Weapons
are:
- Barret's Max Ray - Attack = 97 (found in Midgar Sector 8)
- Cloud's Ragnarok - Attack = 97 (prize for defeating Proud Clod)
- Cid's Flayer - Attack = 100 (prize in Speed Square)
The most used Ultimate Weapon has to be the Conformer for Yuffie. This is
because it will deal regular damage whilst using Morph (as opposed to 12.5%
normal damage). This is particularly useful when it comes to farming valuable
items such as Sources and Elixirs.
The following characters power will be increased when certain conditions are
met:
Cloud - Gains more power the higher his current HP is.
Barret - Gains more power the more AP is equipped to his weapon.
Tifa - Gains more power the higher her Limit bar is filled.
Aeris - Gains more power when her allies are K.O'd
Red XIII - Gains more power the higher his current MP is.
Yuffie - Gains more power the higher the enemies average level is.
Cait Sith - Gains more power the higher his current HP is.
Vincent - Gains more power with every enemy he kills.
Cid - Gains more power the higher his current MP is.
Here is a chart depicting how powerful each weapon will become whilst
influenced by its Power-Up condition:
____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________

|____________________________________________________________________________|
The Ultima Weapon is considered to be one of the strongest weapons in the
game. When Cloud's HP is in critical the Sword will glow dark blue, and when
Cloud's HP is full it will glow a bright white.
The Ultima Weapon is required in order to partake in the optional battle at
the Battle Square, and as such you cannot obtain the Final Attack Materia
(prize for optional battle) before obtaining the Ultima Weapon.
Cait Sith's Ultimate Weapon, the HP Shout, shares the same Power-Up
properties as the Ultima Weapon.

| - Barret will deliver 3x damage for having 500,000 AP equipped on his |

| |
| Damage = [TOTAL AP ON WEAPON / 10,000 + 1 / 16] * DAMAGE |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
The more AP the weapon has equipped on it, the higher its attack power will
be. Master Magic, Master Command, Master Summon, Enemy Skill and Underwater
do not contribute to the total. A piece of Materia will not store any more AP
once it has been mastered.
If Barret's Strength was high enough, you could equip 5 x mastered Knights of
The Round Materias to send Barret's damage counter into overflow, being able
to one-hit kill Emerald (also using 4 Hero Drinks).

| |
| Notes: |
| |
| - You'll first need to obtain the Key to Sector 5 from Bone Village. |
| - Item cannot be thrown. |
| - If Tifa's Limit is set to Level 4, then she would deliver 4x damage with |
| a full Limit gauge, 2x damage with a half filled gauge, and 1x damage |
| with a 1/4 filled gauge. At Limit Level 2 she would 1x damage with a 1/2 |
| filled gauge. |
| |
| Damage = [LIMIT LEVEL * LIMIT BAR UNITS / 16 + 1 / 16] * DAMAGE |
| (A Full Limit bar would be 255 units, a half filled bar would be 127) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
Anything less than a 1/4 filled bar would deal less than normal damage, and
an empty Limit bar could deal as little as 200 HP.
Due to this peculiar formula, most people stay well away from the weapon,
favouring other weapons such as the God Hand (which has 255 Attack%) or
Master Fist (which gains damage when under status afflictions).
Alternatively, you could equip Tifa with Added Cut and Deathblow, let her
gauge fill up and never use her Limit.
If you enter the ITEM hut in the Wall Market with Cid in your party then a
slightly amusing additional scene will play out.

|____________________________________________________________________________|
The Princess Guard is unique for 3 reasons - It is the only Ultimate Weapon
available on Disk 1, it is the only Ultimate Weapon to have 7 slots as
opposed to 8, and it is the only Ultimate Weapon to have normal growth.
It's Power-Up effect is identical to that of Cloud's Yoshiyuki - It will

| Notes: |
| |
| - Yuffie will deliver 1x damage if the enemies average level is Lv16, 2x |
| damage if it is Lv32 and 4x damage if it is Lv64. |
| - The Conformer will hit for normal damage when using Morph. |
| |
| Damage = [AVERAGE ENEMY LEVEL / 16] * DAMAGE |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
The average enemy level takes into account every enemy that is targeted by
the attack. If Yuffie is only targeting one enemy, then only that enemy's
level is taken into account.
The Conformer is one of the best weapons on the game seeing as it will
completely ignore the reduced damage effects of Morph, hitting each opponent
for 100% damage (as opposed to 12.5%). This is particularly useful for the
Sunken Gelnika, as you can Morph every enemy in there into Sources.
If you were to attack an ally whilst wielding the Conformer, then you would
hit your comrades for 1HP of damage, although no damage counter would be
displayed. You will still be able to negate the effects of Sleep and
Confusion.

Due to the programming of Vincent's Death Penalty, it is possible to active
the overflow glitch. You can one-hit Emerald by reaching an absurd amount of
kills (16,896), raising Vincent's Strength up to 255 and then use four Hero
Drinks, Berserk and land a critical hit (and strangely enough, Vincent would
also need to be in the front row).
Roughly every 200 kills Vincent gets his damage multiplier increases by 1.

������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.14 A - About Chocobo Breeding
Welcome to perhaps the longest side-quest of Final Fantasy VII - Chocobo
Breeding. If you wish to skip straight to the breeding process, then jump
down to section E.10 F. Otherwise, I recommend taking the time to familiarise
yourself with the mechanics of breeding, especially if you are new to the
game.
You won't be able to begin the Chocobo Breeding process until you have
obtained the Highwind, and the Gold Saucer has re-opened (after the
Lifestream events) on Disk 2. While the Chocobo Breeding side-quest is
optional, there are some great benefits to partaking in it:
1.) Chocobos act as a mode of transport, and breeding 'Special' Chocobos
will enable you to access secret locations on the World Map, such as the
'Materia Caves' (see section E.15), the Ancient Forest and Lucrecia's
Cave.
2.) Breeding Special Chocobos will result in better racing Chocobos to
race at the Chocobo Square at the Gold Saucer. Having a better racing
Chocobos will mean that you will be able to compete in the higher
classes, and the higher the class the greater the reward!
3.) The Battle Square at the Gold Saucer yields the greatest prizes of all
Gold Saucer Prizes, and in order to compete in the Arena you must pay 10
GP per battle. The only way to accumulate a sufficient amount of GP is
via Chocobo racing.
4.) The WEAPON super bosses are extremely difficult to defeat, and the
Materia that you can acquire from the Materia Caves will probably mean
the difference between success and defeat.
There are 4 'Special Chocobos' that you can breed:
MOUNTAIN CHOCOBO (Green):
A Mountain Chocobo can soar across all mountains, and can be used to
access the Materia Cave in Wutai.
RIVER CHOCOBO (Blue):
A River Chocobo can cross shallow water and rivers (the Buggy and the
Tiny Bronco combined), and can be used to access the Materia Cave near
Mideel.
MOUNTAIN-AND-RIVER CHOCOBO (Black):
A Mountain and River Chocobo is the second best Chocobo available, and
can be used to access the Materia Cave near Corel.
OCEAN CHOCOBO (Gold):
An Ocean Chocobo can go pretty much anywhere on the map except for
underwater, and can be used to access the Materia Cave on Round Island
(unmarked island located at the north-eastern corner of the map).
NOTE - Chocobo Breeding will cost in the region of 500,000 gil, and will take
approximately 3 1/2 hours to complete.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.14 B - How To Catch A Chocobo
To catch a Chocobo you must first equip the Chocobo Lure Materia. You must
then locate a set of Chocobo tracks that can be found in various places
scattered across the World Map. Run around until you engage in a battle, you
may not encounter a Chocobo on your first battle; the higher the level of the
Chocobo Lure Materia the higher the chance of you encountering a Chocobo.
You'll know if you have encountered a Chocobo from the music that plays.
Whilst in-battle, the Chocobo must not be hit, or it'll run away. After
roughly 2 turns, the Chocobo will run away unless you have defeated all of
the surrounding enemies. You can stall the Chocobos departure by feeding them
Greens, the better the quality of the Green the longer they'll stay. Greens
can be bought from the Chocobo Ranch or from the Chocobo Sage. Once the
battle has finished and you have successfully caught the Chocobo, you will
find that you will be riding on the back of one when you return to the Word
Map.
Whilst traversing on a Chocobo, random battle encounters will be disabled.
Also, equipping a level 1 Chocobo Lure Materia will give you a 75% chance of
encountering a Chocobo near the Chocobo Ranch, 50% near Junon and 25%
everywhere else. A level 3 or 4 Chocobo Lure will give you 100% chance at the
Chocobo Ranch and Junon, 50% everywhere else. 2x level 3/mastered Chocobo
Lures would tack to give you 100% encounter rate on any Chocobo track.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.14 C - The Chocobo Ranch
The Chocobo Ranch can be located south west of Midgar, and can first be
visited early on in Disk 1. During your visit you will need to buy the
Chocobo Lure Materia for 2000 gil, then you will need to catch a Chocobo in
order to cross the Marsh that is home to the Midgar Zolom. Although you can
catch Chocobos at this early stage in the game, you will not be able to store
them at the Chocobo Ranch until you reach Disk 2; You will find that when you
disembark from a Chocobo you will be prompted to either 'send it back to the
stables' or 'turn it loose'. On Disk 1 this option will not be available.
When you send a Chocobo back to the stables, it will be kept in the outside
pen. The maximum you can store there is 4, when a fifth one is caught the
first one will be let go. To move your Chocobos into the stables you must
first rent the stables from Chocobo Bill who can be found in the Inn to the
left of the ranch. Each stable will cost 10,000 gil to rent, and there are a
total of 6 to rent.
Once you have rented at least one stable, you can talk to Chocobo Billy in
the ranch to be prompted to select from the following:
'Buy' - Buy various Nuts and Greens
'Get some information' - Learn some more about Chocobos
'Moving Chocobos' - Move your Chocobos from the pen to the stable
'Feeding Chocobos' - Feed your Chocobos Greens to improve their racing stats
'Mating Chocobos' - Mate a female and a male Chocobo together
'Releasing Chocobos' - Release a Chocobo back into the wild
'Riding Chocobos' - Ride a Chocobo you've caught around the World Map
NOTE - A lot of the names for the Greens and the Nuts are mis-spelt whilst
navigating through the available options at the Chocobo Ranch.
Select 'Moving Chocobos' to bring a Chocobo you've caught into the stables.
At this point, a Chocobos gender will be determined at random (it's always
advisable to save your game beforehand). You will then be given the option of
naming your Chocobo; I suggest naming your Chocobos in accordance with their
gender to make things a little easier i.e. Green F, Blue M etc.
You will also be able to view the Chocobos rating, and there are 8 ratings
available:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| RATING: POSTURE: CHOCOBO BILLY'S COMMENT: |
| |
| Wonderful | Dashing, head down | �This... is a wonderful Chocobo!� |
| Great | Running | �This is a great Chocobo� |
| Good | Walking | �Mmm, this seems like a good Chocobo� |
| So-So | Standing still | �Mmm, this one's not bad� |
| Average | Standing still | �This is a pretty average Chocobo� |
| Poor | Standing still | �This Chocobo's so-so� |
| Bad | Trotting, head down | �I really can't recommend this one� |
| Terrible | Trotting, head down | �This one doesn't seem to be very good� |
| |
| Only the Good, Great and Wonderful Chocobos are used for breeding. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
NOTE - If you were to take your chocobo on board the Highwind, you could
talk to the NPC to find out which 'type' of chocobo it is.
When you first enter the Chocobo Ranch you will be able to obtain the
Choco/Mog Materia. This is done by talking to the nearest Chocobo, and
selecting option 1 ('Wark') when prompted. The Chocobos will then perform a
little dance, which is nice, you'll then be presented with the Materia. If
you didn't do this on Disk 1 then you'll still be able to obtain the Materia,
you'll just need to catch a few Chocobos first to fill your pen. You'll also
be able to find a Chocobo Lure Materia when you enter the area on Disk 2 at
the south side of the pen lying on the ground.

--E.14 E - Greens, Nuts And The Chocobo Sage
/..............\
| {GREENS} |
\``````````````/
Greens serve two functions, firstly they are used to distract enemy Chocobos
long enough for you to catch them. The second purpose they serve is to boost
your Chocobos racing stats, and you're going to need to spend upwards of
500,000 gil on Greens in order to get your Chocobos to where you'll need them
to be. Talk to Chocobo Billy to feed your Chocobos.
The stats that are affected by using Greens are:
Dash - How quickly you sprint whilst holding O
Run - How fast the Chocobos normal running speed is
Stamina - How much stamina the Chocobo has
Acceleration - How quickly the Chocobo accelerates
Cooperation - How obedient the Chocobo is under Manual control
Intelligence - How intelligently the Chocobo performs under Automatic control
The best Greens you can buy are the Sylkis Greens, and they cost a whopping
5000 gil each. The best way to obtain an abundance of Sylkis Greens is by
using the W-Item trick, however you won't gain access to the W-Item Materia
until late in Disk 2. The easiest way make the require amount of money early
on is to sell one of your mastered All Materias; the area around Mideel is a
great source of AP. A mastered All sells for 1.4 million gil!
As with the Nuts, many Greens have been mis-spelt, not only in the 'feeding'
menu but also in the Battle Square and in Mideel. Here are the Greens
available, along with their stat values and battle effects:
________________ _______________ __________ __________________ _____________

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
*Bought from the Chocobo Sage's House.
Mimett Greens can also be won form the Battle Square costing 1280BP before
the Tiny Bronco, and 400BP after the Tiny Bronco. They will not be
available after you obtain the Highwind. They are the only Greens that will
increase your Acceleration.
Greens will have a healing effect if used on an ally in battle. Each Green
will have the same effect, which is to restore 100 HP. For a more in-depth
look at how we can manipulate the racing stats to breed the perfect Chocobo,
see section E.14 G below.
/............\
| NUTS |
\````````````/
Nuts are only used for breeding Chocobos, and the only two nuts you are
interested in are the Carob Nuts and the Zeio Nuts. When you talk to Chocobo
Billy, you must select 'Mating Chocobos' to mate two Chocobos together
(obviously), then once you have selected the two Chocobos that you wish to
mate you will be given the choice of which Nut you wish to use. The better
the nut, the better the racing stat of the new born!
When buying from the Chocobo Ranch, the names of the Nuts will be displayed
correctly in the 'purchase' screen, however when you are selecting Nuts to
mate with, some of the name will have been mis-spelt:
_____________ ____________ __________
| | | |
| NUT: | MIS-SPELT: | COST: |
|-------------+------------+----------| CAROB NUT
| Pepio Nut | Pipio Nut | 100 gil |
|-------------+------------+----------| The Carob Nut can be obtained in two
| Luchile Nut | Ruchin Nut | 200 gil | places, the first being the Wonder
|-------------+------------+----------| Square; talk to the receptionist to
| Saraha Nut | ---------- | 400 gil | trade 500GP for the Carob Nut (prize
|-------------+------------+----------| ????). The much easier way of
| Lasan Nut | ---------- | 600 gil | obtaining a Carob Nut would be to
|-------------+------------+----------| fight the Vlakorados near Bone
| Pram Nut* | Param Nut | 1500 gil | Village on the World Map. Be sure to
|-------------+------------+----------| have the Steal Materia equipped as
| Porov Nut* | Porofu Nut | 2000 gil | Carob Nuts can be stolen from them.
|-------------+------------+----------| They do have a whopping 33,333 HP,
| Carob Nut | ---------- | 500 GP | so come prepared. The Carob Nut is
|-------------+------------+----------| used to breed a Green, Blue or Black
| Zeio Nut | ---------- | -------- | Chocobo, so steal 3 of them.
+-------------------------------------+
*Bought from the Chocobo Sage's House
ZEIO NUT
The Zeio Nut can be obtained by stealing from the Goblin found on Goblin
island, just to the north east of the Chocobo Ranch. The Goblin can only be
found in the Forests, and they also contain the Enemy Skill Goblin Punch. The
Zeio Nut is only used to breed a Gold Chocobo, so you'll just need to steal
one of them.
NOTES - After you have mated two Chocobos you won't be able to mate them
again until you have battled 3-10 times. The new born won't be ready
to mate until you have battled 3-18 times. Escaping doesn't count.
- There is an incredible amount of variation in the effects of each
Nut. For a full run-down on each Nuts effect, scroll down to the
bottom of the Chocobo breeding Section, or use QSI Link [Nuts].
It's fascinating to know that Nuts other than the Carob can yield a
Black Chocobo!
/....................\
| {CHOCOBO SAGE} |
\````````````````````/
Just to the north west of Bone Village (east of Icicle Inn) you will find a
lone house that is only accessible (initially) via the Highwind. This is the
Chocobo Sage's house. When you first arrive be sure to interact with the
Green Chocobo that you see to obtain the fourth and final Enemy Skill Materia.
When you talk to the Chocobo Sage he will either sell you some Greens or tell
you some information about Chocobo Breeding. The Nuts here are useless, and
the Sylkis Greens are twice as good as Reagan Greens in terms of their stat
boosting effects, and also cost less than twice the price, so just stay away
from Reagan Greens altogether.
If you ask the Sage if he remembers anything, he will begin to divulge
information on how to breed Chocobos, and this was the only way in which you
would've been able to learn how to breed a Gold Chocobo without the use of a
guide. After revealing a short amount of info, he will lose track of what he
was saying and you'll have to fight 4 - 7 battles before he will remember
anything else.
For a complete run-down on everything you have learnt from the Chocobo Sage
so-far, you must talk to Chloe who can be found in the Chocobo Ranch. She
will then give you a step-by-step guide on how to breed a Gold Chocobo.
She'll also tell you which Chocobo has the best racing stats.
There are 9 pieces of information in total:

--E.14 F - How To Breed A Gold Chocobo
PREREQUISITE:
- 6 x Stables costing 10,000 gil each
- 3 x Carob Nuts
- 1 x Zeio Nut
- 500,000 gil+ for Sylkis, Mimett, Pahsana and Curiel Greens
- Chocobo Lure Materia
- Golden Ticket (at the Gold Saucer)
- Highwind
- Cloud (After the events at Mideel)
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| TIPS BEFORE YOU START: |
| |
| - It is recommended to complete the breeding sidequest in stages. Due to |
| the fact that you are required to complete between 3 to 9 battles before |
| you can mate two adults again, and between 3 to 19 battles before you |
| can mate a new-born, you should consider continuing on with the story |
| in-between breeding. |
| |
| - The story-line quests / side quests for you to complete that will rack |
| up some battles on Disk 2 are as follows: |
| |
| - Junon's Underwater Reactor Quest |
| - Return to Sector 5 (for Tifa's Premium Heart) |
| - Da-chao Fire Cavern |
| - Sunken Gelnika |
| - Ancient Forest (Mountain Chocobo required) |
| |
| If done correctly then you should have managed to breed a Gold Chocobo |
| before the Midgar events towards the end of Disk 2. |
| |
| - Sell your Mastered All Materias. Requiring 35,000 AP to master (which is |
| low), you will bank a nifty 1.4 million gil, which should see you |
| through to the end of the game, let alone the Breeding process. If |
| you're on Disk 3 then the Swamp Area in the North Crater is the best |
| place for AP, failing that the Sea Worm or the Spiral near Mideel. |
| |
| - To ride a Chocobo that you've caught/bred, you must first talk to |
| Chocobo Billy and select 'Riding Chocobos'. Your Chocobos posture will |
| be relevant to which Class he/she is ranked as at the Chocobo Square: |
| |
| - Dashing - Class S |
| - Running - Class A |
| - Walking - Class B |
| - Standing still - Class C |
| |
| - When you are navigating on the World Map on your Chocobo, you can run up |
| to the Highwind and press confirm to bring the Chocobo on board the |
| Highwind with you. This way you can bring a 'Special' Chocobo to a |
| different continent. Whilst on-board the Highwind you can pet your |
| Chocobo if you wish in the stables to the right of Operations. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
So then, let's begin breeding!
/.......................................................\
| OBTAINING A {MOUNTAIN CHOCOBO} or {GREEN CHOCOBO} |
\'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''/
In order to breed a Mountain Chocobo you must first catch two chocobos. The
'Good' Chocobos can be found on the Chocobo tracks near the Gold Saucer
alongside 2x Spencer (15.75% encounter rate). The 'Great' Chocobos can either
be found near Rocket Town alongside 2x Valron or 2x Kyuvilduns (31.5% total),
or near Mideel alongside either 1 or 2x Spirals (56% total).
UPDATE - You could use 2 Good Chocobos, 2 Great Chocobos, or 1 Good + 1 Great
Chocobo to mate, they would all have the same 'mating potential'.
Before you enter the Chocobo Ranch SAVE YOUR GAME! A gender will be chosen at
random when you move your Chocobos in from your pen, and you'll need them to
of opposite sex to breed them. Although it doesn't matter which gender the
Chocobos are for breeding, some (incorrect) sources have stated that a Great
female and a Good male is required. This is untrue; it doesn't matter what
the gender is as long as they are opposite.
Now that you have your 2 Great Chocobos of opposite sex, you must feed them
an un-predetermined amount of Greens to max out their stats. Feed them both
somewhere in the region of:
11 x Sylkis Greens to max out Speed
15 x Pahsana Greens to raise Intelligence
60 x Curiel Greens to raise Stamina
25 x Mimett Greens to raise Acceleration
The last thing that you have to do before you can breed them is to race them
at the Chocobo Races in order to improve their class. Head over to the
Chocobo Square and talk to Ester to partake in the races. Once a Chocobo has
won three races he/she will move up one rank. All Chocobos start off as Class
C, and you only need to rank your Good and Great Chocobo up to Class B,
although a higher ranked Chocobo will have a better chance of breeding a
'special' Chocobo, so I recommend getting both Chocobos up to Class A
(technically, you just need 4 wins in total).
You are now ready to breed! Head over to the Chocobo Ranch and save your
game! Talk to Chocobo Billy to 'mate' Chocobos, selecting the Carob Nut as
your choice of Nut. There will be a 50/50 chance you will get a Mountain
Chocobo or a River Chocobo. The parents will not be able to mate again until
you have fought between 3 - 10 times, and the new-born will not be able to
mate until you have fought between 3 - 18 times (escaping from battle doesn't
count).
NOTE - Due to poor programming, the Chocobos environmental 'abilities' have
been reversed in the Chocobo Races; a Blue Chocobo will make short
work of the steep slope on the short track; and a Green Chocobo won't
be hindered by the water on the long track, and the space section at
the end of the short track. A Black or Gold Chocobo will breeze
through both tracks.
Now that you have a Mountain Chocobo, you can obtain the Materia hidden
within the Materia Cave south of Wutai, which is the Mime Materia. You can
also access the Ancient Forest just east of Cosmo Canyon, which you would not
normally be able to access until Ultimate WEAPON had been defeated. You can
also access Lucrecia's Cave near Gongaga, and accessing it via Chocobo is far
less of a pain than accessing it via Submarine.
/...................................................\
| OBTAINING A {RIVER CHOCOBO} or {BLUE CHOCOBO} |
\'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''/
Breeding a River Chocobo requires following the exact same steps as the
Mountain Chocobo; however if you have already obtained a Mountain Chocobo
then all you need to do is to mate the same parents again; you do not need to
catch another wild 'Good' and/or 'Great' Chocobo. You must make sure that the
sex of the River Chocobo is opposite to that of the Mountain Chocobo.
If you have not yet obtained a Mountain Chocobo then refer to the steps above
to learn how to breed a River Chocobo, as the steps are exactly the same.
Once you have a River Chocobo then you can access the Materia Cave north east
of Mideel, which contains the Quadra Magic Materia.
NOTE - If you find that you keep breeding the same breed and/or sex of
Chocobo, then you'll need to reset the RNG (Random Number Generator).
To do this you must either perform a soft reset, and/or enter the
Chocobo Ranch to feed a random Green to a random Chocobo, then save
again. This should 'jog' the RNG.
/.................................................................\
| OBTAINING A {MOUNTAIN-AND-RIVER CHOCOBO} or {BLACK CHOCOBO} |
\'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''/
In order to obtain a Black Chocobo you must first breed a Green and Blue
Chocobo of opposite sex (see above). Feed each Chocobo somewhere in the
region of:
11 x Sylkis Greens to max out Speed
20 x Pahsana Greens to max out Intelligence
60 x Mimett Greens to max out Acceleration
60 x Curiel Greens to max out Stamina
As with your 'Good' and 'Great' Chocobos, you are going to have to race your
Green and Blue Chocobos at the Chocobo races in order to rank them up to
Class A. It is highly unlikely that you'll be able to get them to Class S,
especially if Teioh if on the track! They'll 9 wins between them to have a
100% chance of breeding a Black Chocobo
Using the last of your 3 Carob Nuts, mate your Green and Blue Chocobos
together (remembering to save beforehand) to breed a Black Chocobo! Hoo-rah!
A Mountain-and-River Chocobo can access the cave near Corel, which contains
the HP<->MP Materia.
/....................................................\
| OBTAINING AN {OCEAN CHOCOBO} or {GOLD CHOCOBO} |
\''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''/
Breeding an Ocean Chocobo is the ultimate Chocobo available, and it can
access every part of Gaia including Round Island in the North eastern corner
of the map, but excluding the ocean floor (it's not really an Ocean Chocobo
then, is it? It should be called a 'Jesus Chocobo' [because it can walk on
water]).
NOTE - You can now release your 'Good' and 'Great' Chocobos back into the
wild.
Before doing anything else, you must first catch a 'Wonderful' Chocobo. These
can be found on the Chocobo tracks to the west of Icicle Inn, and will only
be present alongside 1 or 2x Jumping (19.5% total encounter rate). Once you
have caught one you can move him into your stables, making sure that it is of
the opposite gender to the Black Chocobo (save first).
Now that you have your two Chocobos, feed each of them roughly:
21 x Sylkis Greens to max out Speed
30 x Pahsana Greens to max out Intelligence
75 x Mimett Greens to max out Acceleration
75 x Curiel Greens to max out Stamina (or Kurie Greens)
Although you won't be able to rank your Wonderful Chocobo up higher than
Class A, you should be able to get your Mountain-and-River Chocobo up to
Class S. You'll need 12 wins in total. When they are ready to breed, save
your game and then mate them using a Zeio Nut. Viola! A Gold Chocobo! You can
now obtain the Knights of The Round Materia from the Materia Cave on Round
Island (NE on map).
I suggest feeding you Gold Chocobo 25 Sylkis Greens and 99 Mimett Greens just
to be sure that you've maxed out its stats. You should never again lose in
the Chocobo Races, unless of course you're up against Teioh, whose stats are
always better than yours (ignoring the 'cap'). You can speak to Chloe at in
the Chocobo Stables to find out which Chocobo has the best stats.

--E.14 G - Breeding The 'Ultimate' Racing Chocobo
Big thank you to gmo7897 for clarifying up a lot of questions with his
Chocobo Breeding guide!
The following information should clarify exactly how to breed the ultimate
racing Chocobo! You must firstly aim to get the 'perfect' parents, as the
stats of the parents will directly reflect the stats of their offspring, and
understanding how the stats work is paramount to perfecting your breeding
skills.
Here are the various stats that are in use:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STAT: | DESCRIPTION: | MAX: |
|--------------+---------------------------------------------------+---------|
| Max Dash | The maximum speed a Chocobos Dash can reach | 6000 |
|*Dash | The speed at which a Chocobo will sprint |Max Dash |
| Max Run | The maximum speed a Chocobos Run can reach | 5900 |
| Run | The speed at which a Chocobo will run | Max Run |
|*Stamina | The amount of stamina the Chocobo has | 9999 |
| Acceleration | The speed at which a Chocobo accelerates | 80 |
| Intelligence | The Chocobos ability to perform in Automatic mode | 100 |
| Co-Operation | The Chocobos ability to perform in Manual mode | 100 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
**THE ONLY FIGURES THAT WE NEED TO MANIPULATE ARE MAX DASH AND MAX RUN**
These are the two visible stats that you can see when you are in the lobby
screen just before a race:
Speed = Dash/34. This gives a maximum of 176 KPH (6000/34 = 176)
Stamina = Stamina/10. This gives a maximum of 999 (9999/10 = 999)
When you catch a wild Chocobo, a random figure will be generated for each
stat. These figures will generate themselves at the point in which you move
the Chocobo from the pen into the stables. Each figure will have a 'range' as
follows:
(Max Dash) (Max Run) (Dash) (Run)
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| CHOCOBO: | MAX SPRNT | MAX SPD | SPRNT | SPD | STAMINA | ACCEL | INTL |
|-----------+-----------+----------+-------+-------+---------+-------+-------+
| Wonderful | 99 - 121 | 91 - 112 | 50-97 | 38-91 | 337-463 | 60-70 | 50-60 |
|-----------+-----------+----------+-------+-------+---------+-------+-------+
| Great | 85 - 110 | 76 - 100 | 42-88 | 30-82 | 287-393 | 60-70 | 50-60 |
|-----------+-----------+----------+-------+-------+---------+-------+-------+
| Good | 79 - 101 | 67 - 95 | 39-81 | 28-75 | 247-363 | 50-60 | 30-40 |
|-----------+-----------+----------+-------+-------+---------+-------+-------+
| So-So | 67 - 92 | 55 - 86 | 33-74 | 22-68 | 247-343 | 50-60 | 30-40 |
|-----------+-----------+----------+-------+-------+---------+-------+-------+
| Average | 55 - 86 | 40 - 80 | 17-70 | 17-64 | 167-263 | 30-50 | 0-20 |
|-----------+-----------+----------+-------+-------+---------+-------+-------+
| Poor | 49 - 71 | 35 - 66 | 15-58 | 0-52 | 87-213 | 30-50 | 0-20 |
|-----------+-----------+----------+-------+-------+---------+-------+-------+
| Bad | 40 - 63 | 26 - 57 | 12-51 | 0-45 | 67-143 | 20-50 | 0-20 |
|-----------+-----------+----------+-------+-------+---------+-------+-------+
| Terrible | 35 - 57 | 20 - 51 | 10-46 | 0-40 | 37-113 | 20-50 | 0-20 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
NOTES - Co-Op will always be set to 0 when first caught.
- Acceleration and Intelligence will always land on a figure divisible
by 10.
- Usually, the higher the Max Sprint is when the stats are first
generated, the lower the Stamina will be, and vice-versa.
Max Dash and Dash are worked out accordingly:
Max Sprint*34 = Max Dash
Sprint*34 = Dash
Max Run and Run are worked out accordingly:
Max Speed*34 = Max Run
Speed*34 = Run
ALSO:
- Max Sprint and Max Speed are the only values we care about when catching
wild Chocobos, although there's no real way to determine the Max Speed
(Sprint can be viewed in the Chocobo Races).
- Always bring Speed up to Max Speed and Sprint up to Max Sprint straight
away using Sylkis Greens.
Unfortunately, there is now way of determining your exact stats, other than
Speed and Stamina. If you are looking for the ultimate Chocobo, then I
suggest catching a Great Chocobo, feeding it Sylkis Greens to max out its
Speed, and then checking to see what his/her Speed is within the Chocobo
Races.
If it is 85 then you have the worst possible 'Great' Chocobo, if it's 110
then you have the best possible 'Great' Chocobo. Stamina won't matter as
there is no 'cap' on Stamina (or any other stat for that matter, excluding
Max Dash and Max Run).
All stats apart from Max Sprint (Max Dash) and Max Speed (Max Run) can be
increased using Greens:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GREEN: | STAT BOOST: |
|----------------+-----------------------------------------------------|
| Gysahl Greens | Dash + 0 - 3 |
|''''''''''''''''' Run + 0 - 2 |
| Stamina + 0 - 3 |
| Co-Operation + 1 |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Krakka Greens | Intelligence + 1 - 2 |

|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Pahsana Greens | Intelligence + 1 - 8 |
|''''''''''''''''' Co-Operation + 1 (25%) OR + 2 (75%) |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Curiel Greens | Dash + 0 - 3 |
|''''''''''''''''' Run + 0 - 3 |
| Stamina + 3 - 10 |
| Co-Operation + 2 |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Mimett Greens | Dash + 1 - 16 |
|''''''''''''''''' Run + 0 - 3 |
| Stamina + 3 - 10 |
| Acceleration + 0 (75%) OR + 1 (25%) |
| Co-Operation + 2 |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Reagan Greens | |
|''''''''''''''''' Co-Operation + 3 |
| x = [Dash/20], y = [between 0-10] Dash + x+y (50%) OR x-y (50%) |
| x = [Run/20], y = [between 0-10] Run + x+y (50%) OR x-y (50%) |
| x = [Stam/100], y = [between 0-10] Stam + x+y (50%) OR x-y (50%) |
| |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Sylkis Greens | Intelligence + 1 - 4 |
|''''''''''''''''' Co-Operation + 4 |
| x = [Dash/10], y = [between 0-10] Dash + x+y (50%) OR x-y (50%) |
| x = [Run/10], y = [between 0-10] Run + x+y (50%) OR x-y (50%) |
| x = [Stam/50], y = [between 0-10] Stam + x+y (50%) OR x-y (50%) |
| |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
If Dash = 4000, then (X) would be 400 (4000/10 = 400) (Sylkis Greens)
Let�s say the random number (Y) was 8.
You would have a 50/50 chance of you Dash being increased by 408, or 392
A 'simpler' way at looking at those formula's would be:
Reagan Greens: | Sylkis Greens:
|
Dash + 5% (approx) | Dash + 10% (approx)
Run + 5% (approx) | Run + 10% (approx)
Stam + 1% (approx) | Stam + 2% (approx)
CoOp + 3 | Intl + 1 - 4
| CoOp + 4
So, the main thing that we can see is that the Sylkis Greens are precisely
twice as good as the Reagan Greens. The Pahsana Greens are great for
Intelligence, and the Mimett Greens are the only Green to increase
Acceleration, which it will only do 25% of the time. Curiel Greens are good
for Stamina, also.
The next thing you need to know about 'Ultimate' Chocobo breeding are the
Nuts; each nut will have a varying effect on the new-born:

I will detail all other Nuts further down in section E.14 H.
You should now have all the tools necessary to start breeding your prize-
winning Chocobo. Here's how:
/..............................................\
| HOW TO BREED THE ULTIMATE RACING CHOCOBO |
\''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''/
Before Starting:
- It's worth noting that you can very easily reach the maximum stat value
for Stamina, Acceleration, Intelligence and Co-Operation. The only two
figures that we need to try to manipulate are Max Dash and Max Run.
- Co-Operation always starts at 0 for a new-born, and caps at 100, so 25
Sylkis Greens will do the trick. Intelligence will max out at 100 and can
be maxed using Pahsana Greens, and Stamina can be maxed out using Curiel
Greens which will max out at 9999 (or 999 in the races).
- Acceleration is the biggest pain in the backside to max as a Mimett Green
will have a 25% chance of increasing Acceleration by +1, so just keep
feeding it Mimett Greens (around 100+) until you are happy that it value
has reached 80.
- Run and Dash can very easily be maxed (to Max Run and Max Dash) by using
9 Sylkis Greens. Remember that if you have two Chocobos with maxed out
Stamina (9999), Intelligence (100) and Acceleration (80), the offspring
will be born with all three of these stats maxed.
STEP 1:
Catch two Great Chocobos. Before moving them into the stables, SAVE YOUR
GAME! Remember that the stats are generated for the Chocobo at the point in
which you move them across from the pen, so don't move both in at the same
time. Remember that Chloe will tell the 'best' Chocobos stats for Max Dash,
Max Run, Acceleration and Intelligence.
You won't be able to determine the Acceleration or Intelligence (which
shouldn't matter too much at this stage), however you will be able to measure
the Stamina, Dash and Max Dash. Co-Operation is always set to 0 to begin with.
After feeding the Chocobo as many Sylkis Greens as is necessary to max out
its Speed (bringing its Dash value to the same as its Max Dash - 11 or so),
head over to the Gold Saucer (don't worry about maxing its other stats). If
its Speed isn't above 105 (ish), reset your game and try moving the Chocobo
into the stables again. The max speed you can have from a great Chocobo is
110 KPH.
NOTES - The Max Run is always proportionate to the Max Dash, so a Chocobo
with a high 'Top Speed' should also have a fairly high running speed.
- Every time you reset, make sure to do a soft reset as to keep the
RNG from being reset, unless it gets stuck and keeps giving you the
same stats, in which case perform one hard reset, followed by soft
resets from there on out.
Once you are happy with your Great Chocobos Max Dash stats, save the game and
repeat the process with your other Great Chocobo. The down side here is that
you'll also have a 50/50 chance of it being the wrong gender, but the plus
side is that it won't matter if the second Chocobo isn't all that great, you
only have to have one great 'Great' Chocobo (although it will help down the
line if you have two). You'll be ready to continue when you have two Great
Chocobos, one of which with great Max Dash (Top Speed) stats!
STEP 2:
Using Sylkis, Mimett, Curiel and Pahsana Greens, max out both Chocobo stats
completely. Then race them and then save your game. *Make note of which
Chocobo has the best stats by talking to Chloe*. Breed the two Chocobos
together using a Carob Nut. You will have a 23.4% chance that the new-born
will have higher Max Dash and 15.6% that it will have higher Max Run than the
parents with the highest Max Dash/Run (Stamina won't matter), giving you a
cumulative 3.65% chance of getting a Chocobo with better Max Run and Max Dash.
Don't worry too much about getting a better Max Run (Speed) at this stage,
just concentrate on getting a Chocobo with better Max Dash (Sprint) than its
parents. A Chocobos Speed can never exceed its Sprint, so focus first on
maxing out Max Dash, which is 6000 (or 176 KPH).
Now talk to Chloe in the Chocobo Ranch (you don't have to feed the newborn
any Greens), and she will tell you which Chocobo has the fastest Sprint
(MDash) and which is the fastest runner (MRun), if the new-born doesn't have
Dash that surpasses its parents, reload your save and try again, we'll focus
on Run later on when we breed a Gold Chocobo (the Zeio Nut has a much better
chance than the Carob Nut of breeding a Chocobo with higher Run than its
parents).
Don't forget about that pesky RNG - if it gets stuck and keeps spitting the
same stats, then try feeding Greens to your Chocobos.
STEP 3:
Let's say you'd just obtained a Green Chocobo with better Max Dash and better
Max Run than its parents. You'll obviously want to breed a Blue Chocobo next
using the same parents, however it doesn't matter whether this new Chocobo
has better stats than its parents or not. You won't be able to tell anyway,
seeing as Chloe can only tell you who has the 'best' stats, and the new
Chocobos stats can only be equal to or less than its sibling.
NOTE - If a Chocobo succeeds in gaining a boost in stats (say, Max Dash),
then it will be boosted using the parent *with the highest (Max Dash)
stats.* This means that your 'secondary' Chocobo doesn't have to be
as 'optimal' as you first Chocobo. Most other stats will take an
average of both parents, so be sure to try to max Stamina,
Acceleration and Intelligence on both choc's, just remember that Co-
Op is always set to 0 when a new-born is hatched.
Go ahead and mate the two parents again. Make sure to max out all of the
stats that you can for both Chocobos, then race them both to Class A. Save
the game, then mate the Green and Blue together using a Carob Nut. Then check
with Chloe to see if his/her 'Sprint' (and hopefully 'Speed') has surpassed
his/her parents. If they haven't, reload your save; if they have, max out its
stats.
Once you have a Black Chocobo, you can release the 'weakest' Great Chocobo
back into the wild.
STEP 4:
Now catch a Wonderful Chocobo. It doesn't matter in the slightest what the
Chocobos Max Dash is, just be sure to max out its stats before breeding. Also
be sure to check with Chloe to see which Chocobo has the highest Max Dash and
Max Run before doing anything else.
One you are content that you have the best Black Chocobo 'for the job', go
ahead and save the game. Then mate the two together using a Zeio Nut (after
racing, obviously), you'll now have a 22% chance of the new-born having a
higher Max Dash, 32% chance of it having higher Max Run and 68% chance of it
having higher Stamina (see Zeio Nut details above). The cumulative chance of
getting better Max Dash and Max Run is 7.04%.
**MAKE SURE THAT THE GOLD CHOCOBO HAS HIGHER MAX DASH AND MAX RUN THAN ITS
PARENTS**
If the Chocobo receives the 'average' of its parents Max Run/Dash, then the
drop could be quite considerable. Remember to 'jog' the RNG from time to
time. If done correctly, the Chocobo should have the number one spot for all
of Chloe's inspections. Now max out all of your Gold Chocobos stats, then
check to see if its Max Dash has been maxed to 176KPH by competing in the
races.
STEP 5:
Breed another Gold Chocobo using the same parents. Again, this Chocobos stats
won't matter, all that'll matter is that it is of the opposite sex to the
first Gold Chocobo, and that its current stats have been maxed out using
Greens before breeding it. Once you've done this, check with Chloe to confirm
which Chocobo has the greatest at this stage (it should be the first Gold
Chocobo).
Breed the two Gold Chocobos together, ensuring that the new Chocobos stats
are the greatest for *both* Dash and Run by talking to Chloe (before feeding
it Greens to max out its stats). Then release the 'parent' gold Chocobo of
the same sex as the new-born into the wild, so you can mate mother and
son/father and daughter together (ugh!).
Keep repeating this final process until you are content you have the 'best'
racing Chocobo possible.
Max Speed - 176KPH
Max Stamina - 999
(Max Run - 173KPH)
Although you cannot see how fast your Run is, the fastest it can goto is
173KPH, so you'll know when you have the optimal Max Run stat because
there'll be little difference in speed when you push down O to sprint.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| CONGRATULATIONS - YOU NOW HAVE THE 'PERFECT' CHOCOBO! |
| So what can you do now? |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Teioh:
You still need to watch out for Teioh, as Teioh's Max Dash will always be 10%
greater than yours, and his Stamina will always be 25% greater than yours.
These figures will ignore all 'caps'. As long as you have a very high Run you
should be fine.
Special Prizes:
Winning 10 Class S races in a row will reward you with a special bundle of
prizes: Counter Attack Materia, Sprint Shoes, Cat's Bell, Precious Watch and
Chocobracelet. These prizes can only be won once.
Stamina Refill:
Just to make it that bit easier, you can hold down R1+R2 to slowly refill
your Stamina bar. This shouldn't be necessary seeing as your Run and your
Dash should be near enough the same, meaning you won need to sprint.
Make a cup of tea:
With Automatic mode enabled!?!

| OBTAIN A *FREE* GOLD CHOCOBO |
\''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''/
If you defeat Ruby WEAPON then you will be rewarded with the Desert Rose. You
can then present this to the Kalm Traveller (found in... Kalm) and he will
trade it with you for a Gold Chocobo. The catch-22 is that you need the
Knights of The Round Materia to defeat Ruby, and you need a Gold Chocobo to
obtain the Knights of The Round Materia..... Of course there are other ways
of defeating Ruby (see section E.16).
The 'Kalm Chocobo' is an absolutely terrible racing Chocobo by the way, it
stats are as follows:
Max Dash - 3000 (Top Sprint = 88 KPH)
Dash - 1000
Max Run - 2500 (Top Speed = 74 KPH)
Run - 500
Stamina - 1000 (Stamina = 100)
Acclertn - 60
Intllgnc - 30
Co-Oprtn - 0
/.................................\
| CHOCOBOS THAT GIVE US STUFF |
\'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''/
At any point during the game you can talk to the Chocobos that are sitting in
the pen at the Chocobo Ranch. When prompted, select option 1 �Wark� to see a
little dance. You will then be presented with the almighty Choco/Mog Materia!
This little bad-boy is best paired with the Elemental Materia on your weapon,
as it is Wind based and a large amount of enemies in the game are weak
against Wind.
When you visit the Chocobo Sage on Disk 2 (or Disk 3), you will notice a
Green Chocobo sitting in its stable. Interact with it and it'll give to you
an Enemy Skill Materia! Cheers Chocobo!
If you talk to Chloe before she has obtained any information about the
Chocobo Sage then she will tell you that 'the white Chocobo likes to be
scratched behind its ears, anywhere else and it'll get mad'. This is a
reference to the White Chocobo in Mideel; be sure to feed it a Mimett Green
(although it'll read Samolen Green), then tickle it behind its ears to
receive the incredible Contain Materia!
/..........................\
| ESTERS CHOCOBO STATS |
\''''''''''''''''''''''''''/
When you attempt to race for freedom just after the Corel Prison events on
Disk 1, you will be given a Chocobo in which to race with from Ester. If you
lose on this Chocobo then the Chocobo you will be given for the next race
will be slightly better. You will keep getting a better Chocobo until the
fourth Chocobo, you'll then be stuck with that one until you win (which in
all fairness should be pretty easy seeing the 4th Chocobo is fairly slick).
The four Chocobos are as follows:
Chocobo 1: | Chocobo 2:
''''''''' | '''''''''
Dash - 3000 (Top Sprint = 88 KPH) | Dash - 3200 (Top Sprint = 94 KPH)
Run - 2200 (Top Speed = 65 KPH) | Run - 2500 (Top Speed = 74 KPH)

| {CHOCOBUCKLE} |
\'''''''''''''''''/
Chocobuckle is a fairly useless Enemy Skill that can be first obtained when
you visit the Chocobo Ranch on Disk 1. The enemy Skill will basically
increase by 1HP worth of damage (ignoring defences) for every time you have
escaped from battle. So, potentially you could do 9999 worth of damage for as
little as 3MP, although escaping that many times would take an unrealistic
amount of time to accomplish. A better use of Chocobuckle would be to escape
2222 times in order to active 'All Lucky Seven's' (9999HP - 2222 = 7777).
To learn the Enemy Skill, you must first encounter a wild Chocobo. You must
then feed the Chocobo either a Mimett Green or a Sylkis Green; this will
activate the Chocobos use of Chocobuckle. You must then knock the Chocobos
health down to 3.125% (1/32) in one hit, the Chocobo will then retaliate by
casting Chocobuckle as a counter attack on its attacker. There is only one
move that can perform this - L4 Suicide.
Due to the fact that only a Chocobo with a level divisible by 4 can be hit
with Chocobuckle, you can only learn Chocobuckle in two places - the
Grasslands Area (near Chocobo Ranch) alongside either 2x Elfadunk or 2x
Levrikon (Lv 16), or Mideel Area alongside 1x or 2x Spiral (Lv 36). You can
learn L4 Suicide from Mu in the Grasslands Area, and he will have a 7% chance
of casting it.
/...................\
| PERSONALITIES |
\'''''''''''''''''''/
There are also three 'obscure' ratings which can be attributed to a Chocobos
'Personality' (or 'Run Type'):
Personality 0 = Running Chocobo at the lobby screen in the races
Personality 1 = Running Chocobo at the lobby screen in the races
Personality 2 = Dashing Chocobo at the lobby screen in the races
Other than aesthetically, the personality of a Chocobo will not modify the
Chocobos performance in any way; the Chocobo will behave exactly the same in
a race as it normally would, regardless of its personality. The information
regarding Personalities is hazy, and from what I can gather personality 0
would be considered the 'normal' or 'primary' personality, while 1 & 2 would
be considered the 'lower-ranking' or 'secondary' personalities.
Wonderful or Great Chocobo - 87.5% chance of Personality 0
6.25% chance of Personality 1
6.25% chance of Personality 2
Good or So-So Chocobo - 75% chance of Personality 0
12.5% chance of Personality 1
12.5% chance of Personality 2
Average or Poor Chocobo - 50% chance of Personality 0
25% chance of Personality 1
25% chance of Personality 2
Weak or Terrible Chocobo - 50% chance of Personality 0
25% chance of Personality 1
25% chance of Personality 2
It is possible to remove the current personality of your Chocobo to set it to
0, this is done by feeding a Chocobo enough Pahsana Greens. Chocobo Billy
will comment �their personality's improved!� if done correctly. There is no
ascertain way of being able to tell the difference between personality 0 and
1.
/..............................\
| {RANDOM NUMBER GENERATION} | {RNG}
\''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''/
Shout out to BrutalAl for his extensive knowledge on how the RNG works!
REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN WHEN MANIPULATING THE RNG!
The Random Number Generator (or RNG) is the computers way of generating an
outcome; nothing is actually random, and by knowing how to manipulate the RNG
you will be able to breed the exact breed and sex of Chocobo you are after,
without even having to race!
There are multiple RNG�s in the game, for example the Battle RNG. This will
have 256 possible outcomes (0-255), and performing various things can advance
the marker to the next outcome. For example, when you use Choco/Mog, you will
have a 241/256 chance of getting DeathBlow (94.1%) and a 15/256 chance of
getting Fat Chocobo (5.95%). If the marker has landed on one of the 15
squares that has Fat Chocobo against it, then Fat Chocobo will be used. The
marker will advance 1 or more places every time certain actions are performed.
Seeing as we are only looking at Chocobo Breeding, I am only going to focus
on the actions that advance the Chocobo RNG:
Feeding Chocobo Krakka Greens - 1 marker per Krakka Green
Mating Chocobos - 1 marker
Moving Chocobos - 1 marker
Entering the area outside the stables (screen with pen) - 2 markers
Standing outside the stables (screen with pen) - 1 marker per second
Hard Reset - resets marker back to 0.
As far as I can tell, the Chocobo RNG has 256 numbers (0-255).
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| When you perform a Hard Reset, the marker will move back to position 0. |
| When you perform a Soft Reset (L1 R1 L2 R2 Start + Select) the marker will |
| stay where it is. This knowledge is crucial for manipulating the RNG. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
When you enter the 'pen' area, the marker will advance two places. With the
RNG at 002, you'll need to feed a Chocobo 23 Krakka Greens to bring it to
025, resulting in a Blue Female.
After lengthy testing, I can safely say that the Greens used to capture the
Chocobo, the personality (or Run Type) of the Chocobo, and the location in
which you caught the Chocobos makes no difference whatsoever; the RNG
sequence is always constant. It does however make a difference which Chocobo
you select first when mating, unless they are both the same rank (Great, Good
etc.).
Lastly, if you spend too long getting into the stables from the screen
outside of it, then the RNG will be at 003 instead of 002. The marker will
automatically increase two places when you enter the screen with the pen, and
then the marker will start to increase by 1 every second thereafter. There is
a delay before the 'second' marker will begin however, and if you run into
the barn quick enough then you should be able to safely keep the RNG at 002.
Just don't hang about.
Using the above info, you should be able to obtain the desired breed of
Chocobo, so long as you know the outcome of the RNG' positions:
2x Great Chocobos with 0 wins:
@RNG-004 = Green Male
@RNG-006 = Green Female
@RNG-032 = Blue Male
@RNG-025 = Blue Female

| OBTAINING A GOLD CHOCOBO *WITHOUT* HAVING TO RACE |
\'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''/
- Works on both PS1 and PS4 versions. I cannot confirm for PC versions.
If you've read the previous section pertaining to RNG then you should be
equipped with the knowledge of how to manipulate the RNG as to obtain a
Chocobo of your choice. Here is the method to gaining a Gold Chocobo, without
having to race:
(Credit - BrutalAl & gmo7897)
Prerequisite:
Capture 1x Great Chocobo (Mideel - alongside Spiral)
Capture 1x Wonderful Chocobo (Icicle Inn - alongside Jumping)
Steal 2x Carob Nuts
Steal 1x Zeio Nut
Buy 1x Saraha Nut
Buy 62x Krakka Greens
Using the RNG sequence below, you should be able to breed a Gold Chocobo in
less than an hour (without having to race once):
@RNG-002 Move Great = Great Female.
@RNG-003 Move Wonderful = Wonderful Male.
@RNG-003 Mate Great + Wonderful = Blue Female. Then fight 6 battles
@RNG-052 Mate Great + Wonderful = Green Male. Then fight 8 battles
@RNG-007 Mate Blue + Green (Saraha Nut) = Black Female. Then fight 3 battles
@RNG-008 Mate Black + Wonderful = Gold Female
Remember to save and Hard Reset just before you're about to breed. This
method will require you to participate in 0 races at the Chocobo Square, and
17 battles outside the Chocobo Ranch.
!!WHEN TRYING FOR A BLUE/GREEN, YOU *MUST* SELECT THE GREAT CHOCOBO FIRST!!
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
1.) With a Great and Wonderful Chocobo in your pen, save your game and
perform a hard reset. The RNG should now be at 000.
2.) Run into the stables without hanging about outside, the RNG should now be
at 002.
3.) Move your Great Chocobo. This should be a Female. The RNG should now be
at 003.
4.) Move your Wonderful Chocobo. This should be a Male. Now save your game
and perform a hard reset. The RNG should now be at 000.
5.) Run into the stables without hanging about outside, the RNG should now be
at 002. Feed one Krakka Green to a Chocobo. The RNG should now be at 003.
6.) Mate the Great and Wonderful Chocobos (selecting Great first). You
should get a Blue Female.
7.) Now fight in 6 random battles, then save and perform a hard reset.
8.) Run into the stables without hanging about outside, the RNG should now be
at 002. Feed 50 Krakka Greens to a Chocobo to bring the RNG to 052.
9.) Mate the Great and Wonderful Chocobos. You should get a Green Male.
10.) Now fight in 8 random battles, then save and perform a hard reset.
11.) Run into the stables without hanging about outside, the RNG should now
be at 002. Feed 5 Krakka Greens to a Chocobo to bring the RNG to 007.
12.) Mate the Green and Blue Chocobos using a Saraha Nut (it doesn't matter
which one you pick first). You should get a Black Female.
13.) Now fight 3 random battles, then save and perform a hard reset.
14.) Run into the stables without hanging about outside, the RNG should now be
at 002. Feed 6 Karaka Greens to a Chocobo to bring the RNG to 008.
15.) Mate the Black and Wonderful Chocobo using a Zeio Nut (you need to
select the Black Chocobo first). You should get a Gold Female.
Congratulations!
After trying it myself, I can safely say that this method works perfectly on
both the PS1 version and the PS4 version. You must remember to select the
Great Chocobo first when breeding a Blue/Green Chocobo, and you must remember
to enter the barn rather quickly.
Using the battle glitch as mentioned in the section just below, combined with
this technique of RNG manipulation, BrutalAl was able to breed a Gold Chocobo
in under four minutes (having first caught the Great & Wonderful Chocobo)!
/........................\
| MISCELLANEOUS INFO |
\''''''''''''''''''''''''/
- There is a glitch that will occur after you reach a ridiculously high
amount of battles - 32,767. The game cannot use a number higher than
32,767, and if you were to battle your 32,768th battle, then the game
would revert you to minus figures, and would consider your battle count to
be -32,768. You would then need to fight a whopping 32,768 battles for the
count to reset back to 0, in which time you would not be able to breed
Chocobos at all!
If you were to attempt to breed on you 37,767th battle, the game would
permanently regard the battle count required for breeding as 0 (because it
cannot calculate a figure higher than 32,767), meaning you could breed
Chocobos endlessly without having to battle in-between breeding!
- Although many guides will claim that you can only mate a Great and a Good
Chocobo together to breed a Green/Blue Chocobo, this is false. You could
also us 2x Good Chocobos or 2x Great Chocobos. I have conformed this
myself.
- Lucrecia's Cave is situated near Gongaga and North Corel. It can be
accessed via the Submarine, but it can also be accessed via a Green, Black
or Gold Chocobo before you can obtain the Submarine. It can take quite a
long time to find Lucrecia's Cave using the Sub, so the Chocobo route is
by far the best route. Vincent's Ultimate Weapon and L4 Limit Break Manual
can be found in there.
- The Ancient Forest is situated just east of Cosmo Canyon on a ledge that's
just out of reach... unless you have a special Chocobo of course! Through
the course of natural game-play, the Ancient Forest will become available
to you when you kill Ultimate WEAPON, however through Chocobo breeding you
can gain early access to this little treasure cove. Note-worthy items
include the Slash-All Materia and the Apocalypse (triple growth weapon).
- When you visit Sector 6 playground at the beginning of the game, you will
notice Tifa being escorted on a Chocobo-and-carriage. This is the same
design as the carriage that will escort you out of Corel Desert after 12
screen of being lost!
- The only way to determine what your Chocobos stats Top Speed and Stamina
is to enter it into a race at the Chocobo Square - the stats will be
displayed in the top right corner of screen.
- A Green and Blue Chocobo will have their abilities reversed when racing at
the Chocobo Square. There are two environment hazards on the short track -
The hill section will be overcome by the Blue Chocobo, and the space
section at the end will be overcome by the Green Chocobo. The long track
has one environment hazard, the water section, which is overcome by the
Green Chocobo. The Black and Gold Chocobo will plough through all hazards.
- Teioh is the only AI Chocobo that has environmental abilities.
Earlier on in the 'Ultimate Racing Chocobo' section I began listing in-depth
descriptions of how each Nut worked, however I'd decided to only show the
Zeio and Carob Nut seeing as those were the only two nuts that we were using.
I've now decided (for what it's worth) to list every single Nut here:
/.................\
| MORE {NUTS} |
\'''''''''''''''''/
IN ALL CASES: (Credit: GMO7897 & TFergusson))
- Acceleration and Intelligence will always be the average of the parents.
- Cooperation will always be set to 0.
- The Gender chosen will always be a 50/50 chance, or thereabouts.
- Every Chocobos will be born as a Class C Chocobos.
- If a Chocobo is born with Max Run that is equal to or higher than Max Dash,
Max Run will reduce by 100 repeatedly until it is lower than Max Dash.
- If a Chocobo is born with Run that is equal to or higher than Max Run, Run
will reduce by 100 repeatedly until it is lower than Max Run.
- The 'Rating' of the Chocobo (Great, Good etc.) will always have 50% of
being its fathers, and 50% chance of being its mothers.
- You will be able to breed a Black Chocobo using any Nut except for the
Zeio Nut, and only the Carob Nut will breed a Blue or Green Chocobo.

| {E.15} - Materia Caves |
| |
| A - Wutai Cave |
| B - Mideel Cave |
| C - Corel Cave |
| D - Round Island Cave |
| E - Extras |
| {Materia Caves} |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
Whilst inside one of the four Materia Caves that are scattered across Gaia,
random battle encounters will be disabled.
{Wutai Materia Cave}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.15 A - Wutai Cave
Probably the most rewarding of the four rewards, the cave near Wutai holds
the Mime Materia, and can be accessed via a Green, Black or Gold Chocobo. The
Green Chocobo cannot access any other Materia Cave.
{Mime}
The Mime Materia will allow you to mimic the previous command that an ally
used. This includes things such as counter attacks, summons, almost anything
really, except Limit Breaks. You can however mimic your own Limit Break,
which will help out in the Battle Square. Mime is often used in conjunction
with Knights of The Round Materia as an effective strategy for defeating
Emerald and Ruby WEAPON.
If you are planning on using a KOTR chain with Mime, then be sure to remove
all counter attack based Materias, as a character will also mimic a counter
if it was the last attack to have been used. Also, if you were to pair HP
Absorb with KOTR, then the person miming would also receive HP from the
attack. When using Mime, no MP will be consumed.
{Mideel Materia Cave}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.15 B - Mideel Cave
The cave near Mideel can be found on the very north peninsula of the South-
Western Continent, and can only be accessed via a Blue, Black or Gold
Chocobo. You must park the Highwind on the small patch of grass just south of
Mideel, then ride your Blue Chocobo all the way north to the cave. Inside the
cove you will find the Quadra Magic Materia.
{Quadra Magic}
Quadra Magic is best used when combined with other Support Materia i.e.
Quadra Magic=Lightning, Magic Counter=Lightning and MP Turbo=Lightning etc.
Magic Counter, Final Attack and Sneak Attack are the only three Materias that
can be combined with Quadra Magic to enable an automatic 4x hit. If an enemy
dies during the four castings, then any unused casts would be discarded.
All magic spells will have their power reduced by 50% when paired with Quadra
Magic, and this includes % based attacks such as Demi and Full Cure. This is
why MP Turbo comes in handy. Even though you are hitting 4 times, your MP
consumption will be as if you had cast the spell but once. If you were to
equip two Quadra Magics to a spell then you would increase the amount of
casts by 1 to give you 5 casts. This can be repeated up four times for a
total of 8 casts. Knights of The Round cannot be paired with Quadra Magic.
There is a glitch which involves you landing you Highwind in a particular
spot to enable you to enter the Materia Cave without the use of a Chocobo.
>From the Materia Cave, follow the peninsula down until you see a green bit of
grass leading from a cliff. Hover over the green land facing south, so the
dirt area is to your left. Now you must side-strafe left (by holding Square)
and press X just before you leave the grass area, whilst still holding left..
You probably won't do it on your first attempt; jump back in your Highwind,
position yourself so your facing South, and try again. Try strafing further
over to the right, then back again pressing X just before you leave the
grassy area. Once performed correctly you'll have landed the Highwind on the
very edge of the cliff, with Cloud on the dirt track. I was able to achieve
it after 2 dozen or so tries.
{Corel Materia Cave}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.15 C - Corel Cave
Near the entrance to Mt. Corel you will notice the Materia Cave surrounded
by desert. This cave is only accessible via a Black or Gold Chocobo. The
HP<->MP Materia can be found within the cove, and it is probably the worst of
the four rewards.
{HP<->MP}
HP<->MP will basically swap your HP figure for your MP figure, so your HP
will max at 999 and your MP will max at 9999. Useless.
One of the most practical ways of using HP<->MP is to manipulate you MP as so
that it lands on 7777. When you remove HP<->MP your HP will be 7777, meaning
that the next battle you go into you'll activate All Lucky 7's.
To do this, you must first ensure that your characters MP is maxed out to
9999. Then equip the Shield Materia (or Phoenix Materia), Transform Materia
and a Lv 3 Fire Materia onto that character. Use Shield (or Phoenix) 12
times, to leave you with 7839 MP. Then use Mini to bring it down to 7829,
then finally use Fire3 to bring it down to 7777.
Good Fire based creatures to battle would be the Ark Dragon in the Mythril
Mines, the Bagnadrana in Mt. Corel or the Dragon in Mt. Nibel.
Another use of HP<->MP would be to use it to bring your HP down as to fill
your Limit gauge more quickly, although enemies that use gravity based
attacks such as the Valron's Dive Kick, or the Death Claw's Laser are more
effective ways of filling your Limit bar.
{Round Island Materia Cave}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.15 D - Round Island Cave
Round Island is an unmarked location situated on the far north-east corner
of the map. The only Chocobo that can get you to this island is the Gold
Chocobo, and the prize here is the greatest summon of them all - Knights of
The Round. The enemies fought on this island are the Goblins.
{Knights of The Round}
The Knights of The Round (or KOTR) summon is a total of 13 separate attacks,
and pairing Steal as Well with KOTR would yield 13 steal attempts. Pairing
Quadra Magic with KOTR will not work, unless you were to pair Quadra Magic
with Master Summon, and then Magic Counter with a second Master Summon. This
would give you a small chance of countering with 4x KOTR attacks.
The highest combined damage you can do with KOTR is 129,987 HP (9999 * 13).
Costing 250MP, KOTR is the most expensive spell on the game, and as such a
lot of people tend to pair it with MP Absorb. A character that mimes this
attack will also receive the MP, although using Mime will cost 0MP in the
first place.
The only creatures that will be left standing after using KOTR would be
Emerald WEAPON, Ruby WEAPON and Safer-Sephiroth. KOTR requires the most
amount of AP to master - 500,000. Lasting 1:20, it's safe to say that KOTR is
by far the longest (and strongest) spell on the game.
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.15 E - Extras
There are a few extra areas that you can visit once you have bred a
'special' Chocobo:
LUCRECIA'S CAVE:
Once you have a Green, Black or Gold Chocobo you will be able to visit
Lucrecia's cave which is situated in-between North Corel and Gongaga (or
Corel Prison and Nibelheim). This small lagoon is also accessible via a
submarine, but can take a rather long time to reach given the slow pace of
the sub.
Make sure that Vincent is in your party when you enter the cave. You'll meet
a woman called Lucrecia, and a small scene will play out which teaches you a
little about Vincent's past. You must then fight in 10 battles, after which
you'll be able to return to the cave to receive Vincent's Ultimate Weapon,
the Death Penalty, and his Lv4 Limit Break Manual, Chaos.
ANCIENT FOREST:
The Ancient Forest is situated slightly east of Cosmo Canyon, and can
initially only be accessed via a Green, Black or Gold Chocobo. Once you have
defeated Ultimate WEAPON (which can be done just after defeating Diamond
WEAPON), the forest will become available to you, but that will be sometime
after you are able to breed Chocobos.
See section D2.10 J for the walkthrough. Notable items of interest here are
the Slash-All Materia, and Cloud's Apocalypse, which is one of two triple
growth weapons.
OTHER PLACES:
Not that you would need to visit this place on disk 2, but you can also visit
the Sleeping Man's cave near Junon. You can also visit the Great Glacier
again; without a Chocobo you would need to go through the Icicle Inn and then
partake in the snowboarding once more, however with a Green, Black or Gold
Chocobo you'll be able to enter the Great Glacier straight from the entrance.
And that just about wraps up everything that you can do with a Chocobo (other
than racing them, of course)!

| {WEAPON} |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.16 A - About The WEAPONs
!!SPOILER ALERT!!
The WEAPONs are creatures that have been created by the planet to protect
itself from dangers that threaten its very existence, such as Jenova, or
Meteor. When they were first created nearly 2000 years ago to destroy Jenova,
they were never called upon to protect the planet seeing as the Cetra were
able to subdue lobotomise Jenova, and thereby ending the crisis. Sensing no
impending danger, the WEAPONs lay dormant for two millennia.
When Sephiroth used the Black Materia to summon Meteor, the WEAPONs sensed
imminent danger, and awoke to try to protect the planet from chaos. However,
instead of targeting Sephiroth, they instead headed out to destroy Junon and
Midgar, the main location of the Shinra.
There are five WEAPONs in total, plus an additional two that exist within the
FF VII Universe:
Emerald - Landed in the ocean, leaving a large crater upon impact. This
WEAPON was presumably targeting the underwater reactor near Junon,
although this isn't definite. Emerald is said to be the 2nd hardest
boss in the game, and can only be fought once you have obtained the
Submarine. Fighting Emerald isn't mandatory, although it will
unlock the Emerald WEAPON Trophy.
Ruby - Landed in the desert near the Gold Saucer, and it is unclear what
Ruby's intentions are. It appears as a small fin poking out of
the sand. When you approach it either by Chocobo or in the
Highwind, it will jump out at you, provoking a battle. Ruby is the
hardest boss in the game, and isn't compulsory to fight, although
doing so will unlock the Ruby Trophy.
Ultimate - Landed near Junon, then sets its sights on the small village of
Mideel. Why? The reason is unknown. You will have one mandatory
battle with Ultimate before it flies off, not to be seen again
until later on. When you do see him again, he will be in an
attacking stance hovering over specific landmarks, namely places
where reactors are. Defeating him is optional.
Diamond - Landed in the ocean near the North Crater. Diamond only shows his
face when the Mako Cannon begins to fire up, and sensing the
immense amount of Lifestream consumed to power the cannon, he
emerges from the ocean to destroy Midgar. Diamond is the only
WEAPON that has to be defeated as per the story line.
Sapphire - Landed in the ocean near Junon. Sapphire is the first WEAPON to go
on a rampage, setting its sights on the Shinra town of Junon. It
is the only WEAPON that you do not have to battle, seeing as the
Mako Cannon will finish the job for you.
Jade - Is only seen in 'Before Crisis FF VII'. It is an insect-like
creature, and is the first of the seven WEAPONs to be awakened by
the planet. When a powerful Summon, Zirconiade, is used, the
planet senses danger and awakens Jade to deal with it. In the end,
the Turks were able to defeat Zirconiade, but Jade then decided to
target the Turks as they were deemed 'too powerful' in the eyes of
the planet, and needed to be destroyed .
Omega - Is only seen in 'Dirge of Cerberus FF VII'. It is the supreme
WEAPON, and will only rear itself if the planet senses imminent
destruction (which doesn't happen during the course of the game
we're playing). Its purpose is to gather and seal up all of the
planets Lifestream, and to then leave the baron planet in search
of a new home within the galaxy.
It is recommended that you utilise the W-Item glitch whenever going up
against one of the WEAPONs. Using this glitch you will be able duplicate
yourself enough of the necessary items to suit, such as Megalixirs, Hero
Drinks, Dazers etc. See section E.18 B for more info on the W-Item glitch and
how it works.
{Emerald Weapon}
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.16 B - Emerald WEAPON
/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\
|> ABOUT EMERALD WEAPON <|
\>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</
Emerald will be found lurking in the depths of the ocean, and can only be
fought once you have obtained the submarine. There will be a 20 minute
countdown timer whilst fighting it, and this can removed using the Underwater
Materia which is obtained from the Kalm Traveller. You must exchange the
Guidebook for it, which can be obtained by morphing a Ghost Ship in the
underwater tunnel leading to the rector underneath Junon.
Whenever you submerge into the ocean, Emerald will have one of 3 locations it
could spawn in. Simply collide into it to battle it. One needs to be
extremely careful when entering/exiting the Sunken Gelnika as Emerald could
be sitting directly outside it! If this happens, submerge then dive and he'll
have spawned somewhere else (7/8 chance). A useful tip: navigating whilst at
maximum height will enable you to avoid Emerald altogether!
Defeating Emerald WEAPON will net you a whopping 50,000 AP, which will triple
to 150,000 if using Cloud's Apocalypse or Cid's Scimitar. This will help
tremendously if you are trying to master all of your Materia. The other thing
that you will obtain upon its defeat is the Earth Harp. You can trade the
Earth harp with the Kalm Traveller for a set of Master Materia!
NOTE - Emerald is not present in the Japanese original of the game.
/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\
|> EMERALD'S STATS AND BATTLE PLAN <|
\>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</
____________ __________
Alongside Emerald WEAPON there will be four Eyes | | |
resting on Emerald's shoulder pads. These Eyes can | EMERALD | EYE X 4 |
be revived by Emerald, and it will use different | WEAPON | |
attacks if its eyes are alive or dead. ____________|____________|__________|
| | | |
The most feared move that Emerald will | -------Lv: | 99-------- | 50------ |
use is Aire Tam Storm, which is | -------HP: | 1,000,000 | 25000--- |
actually maTeriA backwards! This move | -------MP: | 100------- | 100----- |
will cause 1111 HP to each character | ------EXP: | 50000----- | -------- |
per Materia that each character has | -------AP: | 50000----- | -------- |
equipped on them. So 9 or more pieces | ------GIL: | 50000----- | -------- |
of Materia would result in 9999 | -----DROP: | Earth Harp | -------- |
damage! The only way to survive this | ---ABSORB: | ICE--WTR-- | ICE--WTR |
attack is to equip Final Attack with | --NULLIFY: | ERT------- | ERT----- |
Revive, or to equip less than 9 pieces | ----HALVE: | GRV------- | -------- |
of Materia. That's 9 pieces per | ---DOUBLE: | LHT------- | FRE----- |
character, not 9 in total! | ------ATK: | 180------- | 50------ |
| --MAG ATK: | 180------- | 50------ |
It is also worth noting the Emerald | ------DEF: | 180------- | 2------- |
is Vulnerable to Slow, as well as | --MAG DEF: | 180------- | 2------- |
being one of the few bosses on the | ----DEF %: | 1--------- | 1------- |
game that doesn't nullify Gravity, so | DEXTERITY: | 230------- | 150/250- |
even though Emerald will halve Demi, | -----LUCK: | 1--------- | 1------- |
it'll still deal 9999 HP of damage. |____________________________________|
Avoid casting things such as Haste, Big Guard, Regen etc. as Emerald will
just end up cancelling them out. The reason Emerald is much easier than Ruby
is due the fact that Emerald has a strict pattern in which it'll always
conform to, so you'll always know what's coming.
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| Emerald WEAPON only has five attacks: |
| |
| FOOT STAMP - (Unnamed attack) Used when all eyes are shut. Will cause |
| around 2500 damage to all characters. |
| |
| EMERALD SHOOT - Used when all eyes are shut. Will cause around 7000 |
| damage to one character whilst also removing Barrier, |
| MBarrier, Shield, Death Force and Resist. |
| |
| EMERALD BEAM - Used when at least one eye is open. Will hit all players |
| for 63% of their current HP whilst also removing Regen. |
| |
| REVENGE STAMP - Used as a counter attack and will hit all players for |
| roughly 2500 HP whilst also removing Haste. Will be used |
| every time it is hit, unless hit with a Limit Break or a |
| Bahamut Summon, or if all of its eyes are shut. |
| |
| AIRE TAM STORM - (Materia spelt backwards) Uncommonly used as a counter |
| attack, Aire Tam will hit all players for 1111 HP PER |
| MATERIA EQUIPPED! It will also remove nearly all positive |
| Statuses. |
| |
| Emerald's Eyes have only two attacks: |
| |
| BLUE EYE (A & D) - EMERALD LASER - Damages one player for 4000 HP approx.|
| |
| YELLOW EYE (B & C) - EMERALD LASER - Damages one player for 650 MP approx. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
****************************************************************************
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| Emerald's Battle Schematics:- |
| |
| 1.) Emerald WEAPON will use Emerald Shoot between 2 - 5 times, possibly |
| using Foot Stamp in between attacks. |
| 2.) Emerald will then open its four eyes, as well as using Emerald Beam. |
| 3.) Emerald will now use its eyes to attack you. After 8 attacks, Emerald |
| will use Emerald Beam once more. |
| 4.) Emerald will now use its eyes for 4 attacks, after which it will use |
| Aire Tam Storm. |
| 5.) Then it will use its eyes another 4 times, after which it will use |
| Emerald Beam. |
| 6.) Sequence 4 & 5 will repeat themselves until all eyes are destroyed, |
| then the pattern will repeat itself from sequence 1. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
Revenge Stamp will only be used while its eyes are open, and will be used
every time it takes a hit, unless it has been hit with one of the three
Bahamut Summons or a Limit Break.
Aire Tam Storm will also be used as a counter attack if Revenge Stamp has
been used 10 times, or if his HP is less than 50% after using Knights of The
Round (at least one eye must be open).

|> STRATEGIES FOR DEFEATING EMERALD <|
\>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</
PREREQUISITE:
There are many strategies for defeating Emerald, and they don't all share the
same level of preparation. The following list is a set of must-haves,
regardless of which strategy you use:
- Underwater Materia
- Limit Breaks at full
- Slow down the Battle Speed to 1/4 or less
- Time Materia or Spider Web (at the top of the item list) to inflict Slow
- A healthy stock of Megalixirs
- All players in the back row
- Final Attack Materia linked to Revive or Phoenix Materia
- (Optional) Roughly 12 Hero Drinks, arranged at the top of the Item list
- (Optional) Sadness inflicted on all 3 characters as to reduce damage taken
- (Optional) 3 x Sprint Shoes
A Hero Drink will raise ones Atk, Mag Atk, Def and Mag Def by 30%, and can
stack for a total of 100%. These aren't necessary to defeat the WEAPON, but
will help massively. They can be obtained from the Icicle Inn, the North
Crater or as a prize from the Chocobo Square. Spider Webs can be stolen from
the Kimara Bug in Gongaga Jungle.
Also, spending some time in the Sunken Gelnika to farm as many sources as you
can will help out loads. Remember that the Heavy Tank by the reactor in
Gongaga can also drop Power Sources, and it is the only enemy that is
encountered there.
You should probably use your characters Ultimate Weapons, unless you wish to
level up your Materia using the 50,000 AP reward. In terms of armour, I
personally recommend using Wizard Bracelets, but feel free to use the
Mystile, Ziedrich or Imperial Guard if you wish. There is no need to use a
Ribbon against Emerald, so I recommend using Sprint Shoes, failing that
Champion Belts and/or Circlets work a treat.
NOTE - If you are Lv 99 when fighting Emerald, then Goblin Punch will deal
9999 damage for 0MP.

STRATEGY 1 - THE 'COUNTER FRENZY' METHOD (Recommended):
With this strategy, you shouldn't actually need the Underwater Materia, I was
able to defeat Emerald in 13 minutes using this method.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| This is by far the easiest way to defeat Emerald, but also takes the |
| longest to prepare for, and isn't entirely 'necessary'; there are |
| easier and quicker ways to this super boss, keep reading below. This |
| is just my favourite way of taking care of Emerald. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Here is the check list:
- Mastered Final Attack x 3
- Mastered Revive x 3 (or Phoenix)
- Mastered Counter x 4
- Mastered Deathblow x 4
- Mastered Counter Attack x 9
- Mastered Quadra Magic x 2
- Mastered MP Turbo x 1
- Mastered Magic Counter x 3
- Mastered Lightning x 3
- Mastered Gravity x 2
- Mastered Contain x 1
- Mastered Mega All x 3
- Mastered HP Plus x 3
- Mastered Magic Plus x 1
- (Optional) Sprint Shoes x 3
This is the 'Ultimate' list, so don't worry if you don't master all of the
pieces. For example, 2 Mastered Mega Alls will yield a third piece, so you
could get away with mastering one less than the amount stated above
(Lightning and Gravity being the exceptions).
Here is the set-up for this strategy:

',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,'
Bear in mind that when you defeat Emerald you will be rewarded with 50,000
AP, so you may wish to juggle your load out to suit. If you wish to make
use of the triple growth weapons then you'll probably want to explore the
other strategies below.
If Player 1's Magic is below 200, then equip him/her with a Circlet to boost
the power of Bolt3. You will not need Ribbons as he cannot inflict any Status
changes upon you (he can just clear them).
Using the Phoenix Materia over the Revive Materia is sometimes advised, as
not only will it completely Revive all fallen teammates, it will also hit
Emerald with Fire damage. The downside is that a level 1 Phoenix can only be
used once per battle, even if the Final Attack is at level 5!
There's no point in casting Big Guard, as Emeralds attacks will negate Big
Guards effect, do however cast Slow on him. All you really need to worry
about is keeping your HP topped up. Try to use three Hero Drinks on each
character. Other than that, this strategy speaks for itself; all you need to
do is sit back and watch as your characters go into a frenzy of counter
attacks every time they are hit. There's nothing else to it! Just keep using
Megalixirs and you'll be fine.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
STRATEGY 2 - THE 'LEAST AMOUNT OF WORK' METHOD:
This strategy requires the least amount of preparation, but is also quite a
hard method to accomplish. There is 0 chance of Emerald using Aire Tam Storm
if his eyes are closed. So, the idea is to take out the eyes as quickly as
possible. To do this you are going to want to use your strongest Limit Breaks.
Make sure to have all characters Limit Gauges filled before the battle
begins, you don't need to worry about Final Attack, just be sure to have the
Sprint Shoes equipped to all three characters, and equip yourself with the
strongest load-out you have. Also have all players in Fury, and choose
characters that have Limit Breaks that attack all enemies, such as Barret or
Cid.
Equip yourselves with things such as Lightning, Trine, Laser/Demi, and be
sure to have a suitable replacement for the 'Attack' command as you won�t be
using it too often. Magic Counter with Restore is also a good idea. Also,
Mega All and Deathblow go together nicely, perhaps even Added Cut and
Deathblow.
As soon as the battle begins cast Slow on Emerald. The main thing is to save
your Limit Breaks until the eyes have opened. In the meantime, try to consume
as many Hero Drinks as possible (up to 4 per character). A soon as the eyes
open, unleash your Limit Breaks upon them. You will have 3 full turns before
he uses Aire Tam Storm, which should be ample time to destroy the eyes. When
he reverts back to his original state, kick his butt, although this may take
a long time to do so. The best moves to use would be Bolt3, Trine, Demi/Laser
or just simply Deathblow.
When your limits fill back up simply save them for the next time the eyes
open. Just stay away from Knights of The Round and you'll be fine.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
STRATEGY 3 - THE 'MIME CHAIN' METHODS:
There are three mime chains that we can perform that will effectively deal
with Emerald. Just remember to have no Counter Attacks, Counters or Magic
Counters equipped when using these strategies (unless intended):
CHAIN 1 - Mime and Knights of the round
Perhaps the oldest strategy in the book. Master two Mime Materias so that you
have three copies. Simply cast Knights of The Round (after having used a few
Hero Drinks each), then have each character mime the move thereafter. Having
the W-Summon Materia equipped helps also. Pairing KOTR with HP Absorb and/or
MP Absorb is a good idea, or if you wanted to you could use MT Turbo to deal
extra damage. If you do equip HP Absorb, then anyone miming the attack will
also receive HP.
You will need to be mindful of Aire Tam Storm when using this strategy, and
remember that healing/reviving will break the chain, so make sure the KOTR is
higher than Level 1 so that you can re-cast it. Either equip less than 9
pieces of Materia, or set up Final Attack with Revive/Phoenix.
Using this strategy, you can defeat Emerald in 11.5 minutes, if each KOTR hit
was dealing 9999 damage.
CHAIN 2 - Mime and Quadra Magic with Gravity
Set yourselves one character up with Quadra Magic = Gravity, HP Absorb =
Gravity, MP Absorb = Gravity, W-Magic & Mime. Set the other two characters up
with Mime, and make sure that all of the Gravitys are at least level 3. This
strategy speaks for itself.
Cast Slow, then use 3-4 Hero Drinks each, then just keep miming this combo on
Emerald. Make sure not to equip more than 8 pieces of Materia (unless you
have Final Attack=Revive), and be sure to keep your HP topped up prior to it
using Aire Tam. Remember that healing will break the miming chain.
CHAIN 3 - Mime and Omnislash
This strategy requires a bit of preparation. First master 7 Mimes and 7
Counters (so you have 8 of each). Then fill up Cloud's Limit bar (making sure
that you have obtained Omnislash), then kill off the other two characters.
Equip the 8 Counters with the Mimes, then save your game.
When you enter into battle, be sure to use Omnislash before Emerald hits you.
Then just sit back and watch as Cloud unleashes 8 uses of Omnislash against
Emerald every time he is hit. It's unlikely, but you may need to break the
chain to heal, although by that time your Limit should have filled back up.
Inflict yourself with Fury just to be safe.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
STRATEGY 4 - THE '7777' METHOD:
This is probably the most fun method of all. Equip each character with HP
Plus and one other Materia of your choice. I suggest KOTR and Mime x 2. The
idea is to keep your HP topped up at 9999, then when Emerald uses Aire Tam
Storm, your HP will be dropped by 2222 bringing it to 7777, activating All
Lucky Seven's. This will deal 64 hits * 7777 = 487,728 HP.
OK, so it isn't enough to take out even half of Emeralds HP, but it is enough
to give you a fighting chance, whilst also looking super-cool in the process.
The easiest way to get Emerald to use Aire Tam is to wait until it has opened
its eyes, then kill off three of them, leaving a yellow one alive. Then just
wait, after using Emerald Beam twice it'll use Aire Tam; just be sure to keep
your HP topped up at all times. Don't attack it whilst waiting for Aire Tam
as he'll likely counter with Revenge Stomp, and this could mess things up for
you.
You'll still have to do a fair bit yourself, that's what KOTR and Mime is
for. And no, you cannot activate 7777 Fever twice in one round, although if
you do land on 7777 HP for a second time then all of your attacks and healing
spells will deliver 7777 HP! I was able to defeat Emerald this way in roughly
15 minutes, meaning there is no need to equip the Underwater Materia.
If you wanted to learn how to activate All Lucky 7's in the shortest possible
time, visit section E.18
Strategy 5 & 6 for Emerald are the exact same as strategy 5 & 6 for Ruby.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
STRATEGY 5 - THE 'ONE HIT' METHODS:
There are two ways in which you can defeat Emerald in one hit. One of them is
legit. The other isn't so legit.
METHOD 1 - Cait Sith's 'Game Over'
Use QSI Link [Slots] to learn how to manipulate Cait Sith's Slots to achieve
the desired outcome. If you have mastered the art of manipulating the reels
then you'll be able to land on three Cait Siths, which will result in the
'Game Over' attack. Although this strategy could take a while to get the hang
of, it could save you a lengthy amount of time in the long run, as this
method requires no mastered Materia.
Game Over will kill all enemy instantly, ignoring all Death immunities. The
only other spell in the game that ignores Death immunity is Cait Sith's
'Death Joker' (Cait Sith - Cait Sith - BAR), which will kill all allies
instantly, unless they are attacking from different sides.
METHOD 2 - Barret or Vincent's' 'Overflow Glitch':
To activate 'Overflow' for Barret, you must first max out his Strength to 255
by farming for Power Sources from the Heavy Tank in Gongaga. You must then
master 8 Knights of The Rounds, although this figure can be reduced if you
use Hero Drinks. Then equip his Ultimate Weapon, the Missing Score, and equip
all of the KOTR Materia onto his weapon; the more AP equipped onto the weapon
the more powerful it'll become.
Enter into battle, then use a few Hero Drinks to bring Barret's attack up to
highest possible value, then attack Emerald. If done correctly, the game will
register that a bug has occurred, and will correct itself by killing Emerald
instantly.
For Vincent, you must first need to kill somewhere in the region of 28,000
enemies. This will bring the power of his Ultimate Weapon, the Death Penalty,
up to the desired figure, as the weapon will increase in power with the more
kills Vincent gets. Using Hero Drinks, Vincent will be able to send his
damage into overflow, killing Emerald instantly.
The glitch occurs because the game cannot configure a damage count higher
than (approximately) 262,144. Even though your damage output is capped at
9999, it will still have a base figure which must be below 232,144 for the
machine to be able to process correctly. If it exceeds this figure, then the
figure will enter into minus figures, and the games natural presumption is
that you have dealt enough damage to kill the enemy, and by default it will
then kill it for you.
For a closer look at exactly why this occurs, refer to section E.18.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
STRATEGY 6 - THE 'NO BUTTON NECESSARY' METHOD:
(Thanks to Death_Unites_Us for this)
Equip the following:
Final Attack=Revive, Final Attack=KOTR, Final Attack=KOTR, HP Plus, HP<->MP.
Now use an Elixir. Make sure that all three Final Attacks and both KOTR are
mastered, this won't work otherwise.
Get into battle. Make a cup of tea. Watch the TV for a bit. Come back.
Victory.

--E.16 C - Ruby WEAPON
/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\
|> ABOUT RUBY WEAPON <|
\>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</
Ruby WEAPON will only be available to fight once you have defeated Ultimate
WEAPON, *AND* have fought in one random battle. This can be as early as the
Midgar re-visited section (or prior to). To find Ruby, you must head over to
the desert surrounding the Gold Saucer; here you will see a small red fin
poking out of the ground. Should you collide into it either with the Highwind
or a Chocobo, Ruby will jump out at you, initiating a battle. Ruby is said to
be the hardest boss on the game, and defeating it will reward you with the
Ruby WEAPON Trophy.
As with Emerald, defeating Ruby will net you a staggering 50,000 AP! This can
be tripled to 150,000 using a triple growth weapon. Upon its defeat, you will
receive the Desert Rose, which can be traded with the Kalm Traveller for a
Gold Chocobo. This Chocobo is completely useless in the races, and it's
recommended that you obtain a Chocobo the 'normal' way, as a Gold Chocobo
that has been bred will be a much better racing Chocobo.
NOTE - Ruby is not present in the Japanese original of the game.
/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\
|> RUBY'S STATS AND BATTLE PLAN <|
\>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</ ______________ _____________
| | |
Ruby is extremely tough, and unlike Emerald it | RUBY WEAPON | RUBY'S |
does not have a fixed sequence of attacks that | | TENTACLE x2 |
it will conform to. When the ____________|______________|_____________|
battle begins, Ruby will be | | | |
completely impervious to all | -------Lv: | 59---------- | 37--------- |
attacks until it has buried its | -------HP: | 800,000----- | 40000------ |
tentacle in the ground, which it | -------MP: | 2560-------- | 1000------- |
will not do unless but one | ------EXP: | 45000------- | ----------- |
character is either alive or | -------AP: | 50000------- | ----------- |
in-play. If more than one | ------GIL: | 30000------- | ----------- |

will use an attack called | -ABSORB 1: | FRE--ICE---- | ----------- |
Whirlsand which will permanently | -ABSORB 2: | LHT--ERT---- | ----------- |
remove a character from the | --NULLIFY: | GRV--WTR---- | GRV--WTR--- |

this move until one character is | ------ATK: | 100--------- | 100-------- |
left alive or in-play, then it | --MAG ATK: | 200--------- | 150-------- |
will bury its tentacles in the | ------DEF: | 480--------- | 100-------- |
ground thereby becoming | --MAG DEF: | 500--------- | 100-------- |
susceptible to damage. Because of | ----DEF %: | 100--------- | 100-------- |
this, it is recommended that you | DEXTERITY: | 253--------- | 253-------- |
enter into battle with two | -----LUCK: | 10---------- | 10--------- |
characters K.O'd. |_________________________________________|
When Ruby has its tentacles buried, you should revive your other two players.
*Do not* then destroy the two tentacles, as doing so would provoke Ruby to
take them out of the ground, and although she would not become invincible
again, she would be programmed to use Whirlsand until one character is either
left alive/in-play, and it would not bury its tentacles again until this had
happened.
Ribbons are mandatory when fighting Ruby, as its tentacles can inflict some
nasty Status changes upon you on every attack. It's also handy to know that
the tentacles themselves cannot kill you as all of their attacks are % based.
Unlike the eyes of Emerald, the Tentacles of Ruby are *not* independent; the
moves that they cast on you come from Ruby itself (meaning that there is just
one ATB gauge for all three targets).
When the battle begins, the game will register that a 'back attack' is in
play, and the first time your players are hit they will be hit for x2 damage.
Tapping L1 & R1 will not negate this effect (as it would do in a regular
battle).
The best way to defeat Ruby is to exploit its weaknesses - Slow and Paralyze.
Remember that Ruby has the highest Dexterity of any creature in the game, so
casting Slow is essential. It also has ridiculously high Defence and Magic .
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| Ruby WEAPON has 12 attacks: |
| |
| * = Only used when tentacles *aren't* buried. |
|** = Only used when tentacles *are* buried. |
| |
| *BIG CLAW - (Unnamed attack) Attacks one target for 63% of their |

| *BIG SWING - Attacks all targets for roughly 5000 HP and inflicts |
| Paralyzed (63%). |
| |
| *COMET 2 - Attacks 4 random targets for roughly 2500 HP per attack. |
| |
| WHIRLSAND - Only used when more than one character is alive. Removes |
| one random target from battle. Also used as a counter |
| attack if more than one player is alive, see below for |
| details on when this attack is used. |
| |
|**RUBY FLAME - Attacks one target for roughly 5000 HP. |
| |
|**RUBY RAY - Attacks one target for roughly 4000 HP and inflicts |

| |
|**RIGHT THRUST - (Right Tentacle 'A' - Unnamed attack) |
| Drains 94% of current HP from one target and inflicts |
| Frog and Small (100%). |
| Used as a counter attack (100%). |
| |
|**RIGHT REVENGE - (Right Tentacle 'A' - Unnamed attack) |
| Drains 47% of current HP from one target and inflicts |

| |
|**LEFT REVENGE - (Left Tentacle 'B' - Unnamed attack) |
| Drains 47% of current MP from one target and inflicts |
| Poison and Slow-Numb (100%). |
| |
| NOTE - The right and left Tentacles are named according to our |
| perspective, and not Ruby's actual right and left tentacle. The |
| right tentacle (Ruby's Tentacle A) will always drain HP, and the |
| left tentacle (Ruby's Tentacle B) will always drain MP. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
****************************************************************************
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| Ruby's Battle Schematics:- |
| |
| BEFORE BURYING TENTACLES: |
| |
| 1.) If one character is alive when the battle begins, Ruby will bury it's |
| tentacles immediately. |
| 2.) If 2 or more characters are alive when the battle begins then Ruby |
| will use Big Claw, Big Swing, Whirlsand, Big Claw, Big Swing, |
| Whirlsand. |
| 3.) If you fall down to one party member within those 6 turns, Ruby will |
| bury its tentacles immediately. |
| 4.) If you fall down to one character after those 6 turns, Ruby will not |
| bury its tentacles until after its 15th turn. During that time it will |
| use: |
| 1/3 - Big Claw |
| 1/3 - Big Swing |
| 1/3 - Comet 2 |
| 5.) After the 15th turn, Ruby will use: |
| 1/5 - Bury Tentacles |
| 1/5 - Big Claw |
| 1/5 - Big Swing |
| 2/5 - Comet 2 |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
So basically, if Ruby completes its cycle of using 2 Whirlsands, you could
end up waiting a fairly long time for it to eventually bury its tentacles. If
at any point you do destroy the tentacles, Ruby will resort back to sequence
two until one character remains. It will then resort to sequence three, four
or five, respectively (depending on what turn you're on).
If you were to attack Ruby with its tentacles un-buried, then it will counter
with Whirlsand provided that there is more than one player left alive/in-play.
____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| AFTER BURYING TENTACLES: |
| |
| NOTE - The act of digging its tentacles counts as 1 turn. |
| |
| 1.) Between turns 1 - 10, Ruby will use: |
| 1/4 Ruby Flame |
| 1/4 Ruby Ray |
| 1/4 Left Revenge |
| 1/4 Right Revenge |
| 2.) Between turns 11 - 24, Ruby will use: |
| 1/6 - Ruby Flame |
| 1/6 - Ruby Ray |
| 1/6 - Shadow Flare |
| 1/6 - Ultima |
| 1/6 - Left Revenge |
| 1/6 - Right Revenge |
| 3.) On the 25th turn Ruby will use Whirlsand if there are 3 players |
| alive/in-play. |
| 4.) After turn 25, Ruby will use: |
| 2/12 - Ruby Flame |
| 2/12 - Ruby Ray |
| 2/12 - Shadow Flare |
| 2/12 - Ultima |
| 1/12 - Right Thrust |
| 1/12 - Right Revenge |
| 1/12 - Left Thrust |
| 1/12 - Left Revenge |
| 5.) On the 32nd turn Ruby will use Whirlsand if there are 2 or 3 players |
| alive/in play. Ruby will then continue using the moves in sequence 4. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
With the tentacles are buried, Ruby will always counter using either Right
Thrust or Left Thrust (50% chance) against any attack. If KOTR was cast
(while its tentacles were buried), then it will retaliate by using Ultima.
/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\
|> STRATEGIES FOR DEFEATING RUBY <|
\>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</
PREREQUISITE:
The following is a list of must-haves prior to engaging Ruby:
- 3 x Ribbons
- 2 x K.O'd characters
- At least 12 x Dazers, Megalixirs and Hero Drinks
- 1 x Spider Web (or Time Lv 2)
- Limit Break at full
- Final Attack Materia linked to Revive or Phoenix Materia
- Battle Speed set to 0 and ATB set to Wait
Dazers are used to inflict Paralyze and can be stolen from the Battery Caps
in the forest near Nibelheim, or from the Boundfat in Corral Valley. The
Spider Web is used to inflict Slow and can be stolen from the Kimara Bug in
Gongaga Jungle. Remember that the Slow status will prolong the Paralyze
Status, so be sure to use the Spider Web first. Also make sure to slow the
Battle Speed down all the way, and also be sure to arrange your battle items
to the top of the inventory list.
I would personally recommend using your characters Ultimate Weapons, however
if you are looking to gain the huge AP reward then feel free to use
alternative 'normal growth' weapons. In terms of armour, I suggest the Fire
Armlet to help with the Ruby Flame attack, although anything such as the
Mystile, Ziedrich or Imperial Guard will suffice (you could even use the
Wizard Bracelet, just remember that it has low Defence stats).
If your character's defences aren't high enough then you may find yourselves
getting eradicated by Shadow Flare or Ultima. To avoid this, use Hero Drinks,
Barriers, MBarriers, Dragon Force and Wall. You can even use Reflect to
counter Shadow Flare if you wish. Also, 26 uses of Magic Hammer will deplete
its MP entirely, rendering Ultima and Shadow Flare unusable.
NOTE - Ruby is also vulnerable to Darkness, although Darkness will have no
effect whatsoever on any enemy, as Darkness will only affect commands
that are used by ourselves. It is possible to inflict Ruby with Fury,
although doing so seems to have no effect. Use QSI Link [Fury] to
find out how to inflict Fury on an enemy.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
STRATEGY 1 - THE 'KOTR' METHOD (Recommended):
This method probably takes the longest to prepare for, but is also the
easiest (and oldest) strategy for taking care of Ruby. Here is the Materia
check-list:
- MP Turbo x 1 (Mastered)
- Knights of The Round x 1 (Mastered)
- Mime x 2 (Mastered)

- Final Attack x 1 (minimum)
- Revive x 1 (minimum)

All figures are exact; if I state 2 x mastered Mimes it's because I intend
for you to have 3. Also, seeing as not much Materia is required for this
strategy I suggest filling your slots up with Materia that you wish to gain
50,000AP. Here is the Load-Out I recommend:

Before going into battle be sure to have filled up player 2's Limit all the
way, slow down the Battle Speed to 0, and place your Dazers, Spider Web, and
Megalixirs at the top of the inventory list. Then kill off players 1 & 3.
The level of the Time Materia is up to you; at level 1 the player will cast
Haste on themselves as soon the battle begins enabling you to revive the
other two players faster, whereas a level 2 Time will cast Slow on Ruby,
eliminating the need for the Spider Web. Both strategies have their
advantages. When you are ready to battle Ruby, head over the Gold Saucer Area
then save your game.
As soon as the battle begins (and after Ruby has buried its tentacles),
revive the two KO'd players. The Mega All should see them both revived in one
fell swoop. Also, if you had a Lv 2 Time with Sneak Attack then Ruby would
already be slowed. If not, use player 3 to W-Item Spider Web and Dazers to
Slow and Paralyze Ruby. Then cast Big Guard from Player 1, followed by player
2's Limit Break.
You can now use a few Hero Drink on each character if you wish, just remember
that you're going to want to kill Ruby within 25 turns, otherwise it will use
Whirlsand thereby removing one of your players from battle, and a removed
player will not receive any battle rewards.
Now have player one cast W-Summon KOTR. Combined with the Magic Plus and MP
Turbo, the players attacks should be hitting for 9999 damage (or there
abouts) with every attack. The HP Absorb will save you from having to break
the Mime chain to restore your HP, and the only time that you will need break
the chain is if Ruby breaks free of its paralysis. After 7 uses of KOTR, Ruby
should start flashing red. Congratulations!
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
STRATEGY 2 - THE 'I DON'T LIKE USING KOTR' METHOD:
This is a much, much tougher strategy than the KOTR method, but also takes
much less time to prepare for. You're going to want to equip your strongest
magic, such as Quadra Magic = Comet 2/Ultima, Sneak Attack = Time Lv 2 works
well, W-Magic, Mime etc. Also be sure to have obtained the Enemy Skill Magic
Hammer, and make sure that you have the W-Item Materia equipped. Lastly,
equip a level 2 Throw.
As a precautionary, you could equip Elemental with Fire/Ifrit to protect you
from Ruby Flame (or a Fire Armlet), but it won't be too necessary. Ribbons
are mandatory, but everything else is optional; for real protection try using
the Ziedrich. Although it has no Materia slots, it will halve all incoming
damage!
As before, fill player 2's Limit, kill off players 1 & 3, slow the Battle
Speed down to 0, set the ATB to wait and arrange your inventory as so that
the Dazers and Megalixirs are at the top.
When the battle begins, do exactly as you would've done in the first
strategy; Revive the other two players, then cast Spider Web and Dazers
followed by Big Guard. Now it's just a case of simply throwing down
everything you've got! Every other turn have the W-Item holder use Dazers and
a Megalixir, and you should be completely safe. If Ruby does break free of
Paralysis, then you should be Ok so long as your HP was topped up to begin
with.
NOTE - If you use Dazers on a Paralyzed Ruby, the Status will *not* reset;
you must wait for her to break free first. With Ruby in Slow and your
characters in Haste, you should get 3-4 turns in before she breaks
free.
One way to deal with Ruby's Shadow Flare and Ultima attacks would be to use
Magic Hammer 9 times per character; this would see its MP drained to 0. This
would leave Ruby only being able to use its tentacles, Ruby Flame and Ruby
Ray! Just remember that you do have to kill it within 25 turns, or it'll cast
Whirlsand on you, so if you do plan on doing this then forget about using
Hero Drinks.
Another way to deal with Ruby's Ultima, Comet 2 and Shadow Flare attacks
would be to inflict Ruby with Fury, thereby dropping her accuracy by 30%.
This is a very risky strategy, as you would need to have one player enter the
battle *without* a Ribbon equipped*; the only way to cast Fury on an enemy is
to cast 'Confu' on an ally, then have that ally use a Hyper before the
Confusion takes effect. If done correctly, Ruby will be the one to be
inflicted with Fury, and you'll then need to cure the ally of Confusion. Then
either cast Resist (Lv 3 Heal) or use a Vaccine to grant that ally
invulnerability to Status changes, just bear in mind that if the player
already has a negative Status in place, then the Resist Status would 'lock'
that negative Status in place.
Finally, you can use the 'Coin' command to throw 99,000 gil at Ruby for 9999
damage. This will ignore all defences (but not invulnerability). Seeing as
you'll start at 600,000 gil, you'll have to bring the gil down manually to
99,000 as to not waste gil, and the main problem with that is that the ATB
will not be set to wait, meaning Ruby will hit you during this time. So, to
speed things up a little you may have to consider just throwing 600,000 gil a
pop! The best way to farm gil is to sell mastered Alls or by selling Sylkis
Greens using the W-Item Glitch.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
STRATEGY 3 - THE 'ALL LUCKY SEVEN'S' METHOD
Ok so this strategy is a combination of the previous two strategies, plus
this time you'll be activating 7777 Fever, which will take out over half of
Ruby's health before Ruby has done anything other than dig its tentacles in
the ground! Here's how:-
Before killing off any of your characters, you�re going to want to get your
chosen characters HP to 7767. There are various methods in which you can do
this, use QSI Link [Lucky 7's] to view the % chart that will bring you to
7767 the quickest (credit to James Baxter).
If you don't wish to jump from this section then here is an alternative (and
slightly longer) method:
NOTE - Have the chosen players Limit bar filled before setting this up! Also
make sure that the players Limit Break is one that attacks multiple
times.
Equip the chosen character with Manipulate, one with Enemy Skill that has
Goblin Punch, and one with Goblin Punch and Transform (or 2x Shrivel). Make
sure not to have Mega-All or Slash-All, and don't have any Limit Breaks
filled (other than the chosen character). You must then bring the chosen
player's HP down to below 7777; you can do that quite easily by equipping
then un-equipping HP<->MP.
You're then ready to enter into battle; kill off all but one enemy which (you
guessed it) you can then manipulate. Have the two characters that aren't
manipulating inflicted with Mini. You'll then find that Goblin Punch will
deal precisely 8 HP of damage, provided that your characters are the same
level as each other; if not then it'll just deal 1HP of damage per hit. It
may take a while, but you can then keep attacking the chosen player until
their HP lands on xx77. When this happens simply flee from battle.
Now using Hi-Potions and Potions bring that characters HP to 7677. Save the
game and swap the chosen character out of your party. Now it's time to kill
off your other two characters, then slow the Battle Speed right down and
arrange your inventory so that Dazers and Megalixirs (and Spider Webs if
you're not using Time) are at the top, along with a Potion this time. Swap
your chosen character back into your party and equip you Materia and armoury
according to which of the first two strategies you prefer.
When the battle begins, Ruby will dig its tentacles into the ground. As soon
as this happens, unleash your Limit Break on the tentacles, thereby un-
burying them. Then feed the character a Potion (and throw Dazers if W-Item is
equipped) to bring his/her HP to 7777. Sit back, relax, and enjoy as you hit
Ruby for a total of 497,728 HP. If you had activated 7777 Fever whilst the
tentacles were still buried, then you wouldn't have hit Ruby with all 64
attacks, as the tentacles themselves would likely have be targeted.
Provided that both characters are still KO'd, and it is before turn 6, Ruby
will automatically dig her tentacles back in the ground. After reviving the
fallen two players, you can then use Dazers, Big Guard and Hero Drinks,
followed by whichever ass-whooping tactics you desire. Bye-bye Ruby.
NOTE - The 64 attacks from All Lucky 7's classes as one turn.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
STRATEGY 4 - THE '1 MAN, 5 MATERIA' METHOD:
This is one of the quickest and most simplistic ways of defeating Ruby, and
there are slight variations on how this can be performed. What makes this
strategy so effective is that all of your Materia can be at level 1. Equip
the following:
W-Summon, Hades, HP Absorb = Knights Of The Round & Mime. A cheeky Magic Plus
and HP Plus wouldn't go amiss, either.
Open with Hades which will Paralyze Ruby, then follow with KOTR. Ruby will
not counter with Ultima because it will be Paralyzed, and you will not need
KOTR to be higher than level 1 because Mime can be used countless times,
costing 0 MP. The only thing you would need to worry about is the one attack
that Ruby will be able to throw in every so often; as long as you can survive
this attack you should be fine, as KOTR will heal your HP if paired with HP
Absorb.
An adaptation of this strategy would be to revive your players at the last
hurdle, as so that they receive all of the battle spoils. To do this, you
would have to have KOTR at level 2, and also to have the Phoenix Materia
equipped. On the last use of KOTR, instead of using Mime you can W-Summon
Phoenix to revive your fallen comrades, then KOTR to finish it off. Make sure
to have at least 830MP when going into battle.
You need to know how many uses of KOTR are required to finish it off:
Between 8792 - 9999 HP per attack - 7 uses of KOTR
Between 7693 - 8791 HP per attack - 8 uses of KOTR
Between 6838 - 7692 HP per attack - 9 uses of KOTR
Between 6154 - 6837 HP per attack - 10 uses of KOTR
Between 5595 - 6153 HP per attack - 11 uses of KOTR
Variable - Hades will damage Ruby for no more than 500HP, even with 255
Magic, and Phoenix will heal Ruby by no more than 500; so the
above figures won't be exact, although but they won't be too far
off at all.
Strategy 5 & 6 for Ruby are the exact same as strategy 5 & 6 for Emerald.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
STRATEGY 5 - THE 'ONE HIT' METHODS:
There are two ways in which you can defeat Ruby in one hit. One of them is
legit. The other isn't so legit.
METHOD 1 - Cait Sith's 'Game Over'
Use QSI Link [Slots] to learn how to manipulate Cait Sith's Slots to achieve
the desired outcome. If you have mastered the art of manipulating the reels
then you'll be able to land on three Cait Siths, which will result in the
'Game Over' attack. Although this strategy could take a while to get the hang
of, it could save you a lengthy amount of time in the long run, as this
method requires no mastered Materia.
Game Over will kill all enemy instantly, ignoring all Death immunities (but
not invincibility). The only other spell in the game that ignores Death
immunity is Cait Sith's 'Death Joker' (Cait Sith - Cait Sith - BAR), which
will kill all allies instantly, unless they are attacking from different
sides.
METHOD 2 - Barret or Vincent's' 'Overflow Glitch':
To activate 'Overflow' for Barret, you must first max out his Strength to 255
by farming for Power Sources from the Heavy Tank in Gongaga. You must then
master 8 Knights of The Rounds, although this figure can be reduced if you
use Hero Drinks. Then equip his Ultimate Weapon, the Missing Score, and equip
all of the KOTR Materia onto his weapon; the more AP equipped onto the weapon
the more powerful it'll become.
Enter into battle, then use a few Hero Drinks to bring Barret's attack up to
highest possible value, then attack Ruby. If done correctly, the game will
register that a bug has occurred, and will correct itself by killing Ruby
instantly.
For Vincent, you must first need to kill somewhere in the region of 28,000
enemies. This will bring the power of his Ultimate Weapon, the Death Penalty,
up to the desired figure, as the weapon will increase in power with the more
kills Vincent gets. Using Hero Drinks, Vincent will be able to send his
damage into overflow, killing Ruby instantly.
The glitch occurs because the game cannot configure a damage count higher
than (approximately) 262,144. Even though your damage output is capped at
9999, it will still have a base figure which must be below 232,144 for the
machine to be able to process correctly. If it exceeds this figure, then the
figure will enter into minus figures, and the games natural presumption is
that you have dealt enough damage to kill the enemy, and by default it will
then kill it for you.
For a closer look at exactly why this occurs, refer to section E.18.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
STRATEGY 6 - THE 'NO BUTTON NECESSARY' METHOD:
(Thanks to Death_Unites_Us for this)
Equip the following:
Final Attack=Revive, Final Attack=KOTR, Final Attack=KOTR, HP Plus, HP<->MP.
Now use an Elixir. Make sure that all three Final Attacks and both KOTR are
mastered, this won't work otherwise.
Get into battle. Make a cup of tea. Watch the TV for a bit. Come back.
Victory.

--E.16 D - Ultimate WEAPON
/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\
|> ABOUT ULTIMATE WEAPON <|
\>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</
Ultimate WEAPON is the first WEAPON in the game that you fight, and is a
mandatory battle whilst visiting Mideel. During this battle, Ultimate will
flee after using 3 attacks. Battling him is completely optional thereafter,
and he will not appear until you have defeated Diamond WEAPON towards the end
of Disk 2. Defeating it unlocks the Ultimate WEAPON Trophy.
NOTE - Be sure to steal the acclaimed Curse Ring from the Mideel encounter.
When you are ready to fight Ultimate, you will find him hovering above the
crater near Junon. Collide into him to fight him. After 4 turns, he will flee
from the battle as he did in Mideel. You must then chase him in the Highwind
as he flies off in random directions, and colliding into him 4 or 5 times
will make him fly to one of 7 different locations around the map. Depending
on the location he goes to, the fight will either be a ground battle or an
aerial battle. Remember to use long ranged players, or the Long Range Materia
when fighting Ultimate in the air:
Near Gongaga - Ground Battle
Near Fort Condor - Ground Battle
Near Midgar - Ground Battle
North Crater - Ground Battle
Near Junon - Aerial Battle
Near Mideel - Aerial Battle
Near North Corel - Aerial Battle
Near Cosmo Canyon - Final, Aerial Battle.
After each battle, be sure to quickly view which direction Ultimate flew off
in. If you lose track of it then it can be a real pain in the backside to
find again.
Once Ultimate's HP is low enough he will head over to Cosmo Canyon, there you
will have your final battle with Ultimate WEAPON. Once he has been defeated
he will drop Cloud's Ultimate Weapon, the Ultima Weapon, he'll then crash
into the cliff face near Cosmo Canyon which will allow you to gain access to
the Ancient Forest. This forest was previously accessible via a Green, Black
or Gold Chocobo. Defeating Ultimate will also trigger Ruby's appearance,
however you must fight in one random battle first.
If you do intend on defeating Ultimate prior to the Midgar events, then be
very careful when searching for Ultimate as flying over the North Crater,
then Midgar (respectively) will trigger the point-of-no-return for Disk 2.
Also, if you finish a battle with Ultimate, and he is no-where to be seen,
then there stands a good chance that he has spawned back at the crater near
Junon.
NOTE - Ultimate is vulnerable to Slow.
/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\
|> ULTIMATE'S STATS AND BATTLE PLAN <|
\>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</ _______________
| |
Ultimate won't drop any battle rewards until | ULTIMATE |
the final fight (at Cosmo Canyon), and that | WEAPON |
fight will not occur until Ultimate's HP has ____________|_______________|
been lowered to 20,000 or less:- Ultimate's | | |
current HP will not replenish from battle to | -------Lv: | 61----------- |
battle. If you were to deplete its HP to 0 | -------HP: | 100,000------ |
prior to the final fight, then Ultimate would | -------MP: | 400---------- |
enter into that battle with 20,000 HP, | ------EXP: | 35000-------- |
otherwise its HP would be carried over from | -------AP: | 3500--------- |
the previous battle. | ------GIL: | 25000-------- |
| --STEAL 1: | Curse Ring--- |
It is possible to fully deplete its HP in the | --STEAL 2: | Circlet------ |

then you would find Ultimate waiting at Cosmo | --NULLIFY: | GRV---------- |
Canyon as the first battle after defeating | --E-SKILL: | SHADOW FLARE- |
Diamond. This way you would be missing out on | ------ATK: | 100---------- |
the chance to steal Circlets and Reflect | --MAG ATK: | 170---------- |
Rings, so this may not be the wisest thing to | ------DEF: | 120---------- |
do. And, if you're wondering how KOTR is | --MAG DEF: | 100---------- |

re-opening, refer to the 'Obtaining A Gold | DEXTERITY: | 120---------- |
Chocobo *Without* Having To Race' segment in | -----LUCK: | 50----------- |
section E.14. |____________________________|
UPDATE - If you deplete all of Ultimate's HP in the first fight, then you'll
still have to fight it in the crater near Junon first before it'll
flee off to Cosmo Canyon. Thanks to Aerinhikari for the correction.
While most of Ultimate's stats are fixed, it will have varying things that
can be stolen from it. Curse Ring aside, these items can be stolen more than
once (1 per battle):
Mideel Battle - Curse Ring
Aerial Battle - Circlet
Ground Battle - Reflect Ring
Lastly, Ultimate will use an attack called Ultima Beam, which is the only
attack in the game that uses the 'Hidden' element (that causes physical
damage). To protect yourself from Hidden, simply pair the Elemental Materia
to any 'non-elemental' Materia, excluding Restore and every Support Materia.
If done correctly, you will halve/nullify/absorb the Ultima Beam attack. An
example of this set-up would be Elemental=HP Plus.
NOTE - Ultimate will not use Shadow Flare until the final battle above Cosmo
Canyon.
Here was my load-out going into the following fights, bearing in mind that
it's worth swapping your weapons from 0 growth weapons to double or even
triple growth weapons for the final fight. This load-out does not apply to
the first battle:
1) Cloud (Back Row)
MP Plus
Heaven's Sword - Ultima, Contain, Enemy Skill, Long Range, Magic Plus,
Shinra Alpha - Elemental=HP Plus, All=Restore, Sneak Attack=Mug
Sneak Gloves
2) Yuffie (Back Row)
Revive, Typoon
Conformer - Enemy Skill, Double Cut, MP Turbo=Comet, All=Barrier,
Crystal Bangle - Elemental=HP Plus, Steal, Counter Attack, MP Plus,
Champion Belt Bahamut Zero
3) Vincent (Back Row)
Speed Plus, Counter Attack
Death Penalty - Steal as Well=Steal, All=Time, Enemy Skill, Mime,
Shinra Alpha - Elemental=HP Plus, Added Cut=Deathblow, Luck Plus, MP Plus
Champion Belt
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
FIRST FORM - MIDEEL (Steal - Curse Ring)
There is no need for extensive preparation for this battle as it will only
last three turns. Ultimate will use Quake2, Claw (unnamed attack) and then
Ultima Beam before finally fleeing from battle. Be sure to steal the Curse
Ring before this happens, as there are only two places in the game that you
can acquire these bad-boys, and this is one of them. If you take out more
than 20,000 HP, Ultimate will flee.
Just make sure to have Steal equipped, and also to have protection from the
Hidden element. There's really not much else to this battle, other than the
fact that the more HP you drain from it now, the less HP he'll have in the
forthcoming battles. Again, if you were to use KOTR in this battle then the
next two battles would be the final battles.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
SECOND FORM - AERIAL (Steal - Circlet)
When fighting the aerial form of Ultimate, it will also gain immunity to
Earth and Water. The following locations will provoke an aerial fight:
Near Junon - Aerial Battle
Near Mideel - Aerial Battle
Near North Corel - Aerial Battle
Whenever you encounter Ultimate in this form you'll be able to steal a
Circlet from it, so try to obtain 3 in total. Remember that these are also
steal-able from the Snow in the Great Glacier, which *is* re-
visitable.
As with the previous battle, Ultimate will have a fixed set of commands that
it will use before escaping - Ultima Beam, Thunderball (unnamed attack),
Ultima Beam and finally Thunderball again. It will always flee on its fifth
turn, unless you have knocked off 20,000 HP, whichever comes first.
Having long ranged players here is mandatory, or failing that the Long Rang
Materia. Remember that your steal attempts will be voided otherwise.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
THIRD FORM - GROUND (Steal - Reflect Ring)
The following locations will provoke a ground battle with Ultimate:
Near Gongaga - Ground Battle
Near Fort Condor - Ground Battle
Near Midgar - Ground Battle
North Crater - Ground Battle
Always make sure to steal a Reflect Ring as there is only one Reflect Ring
available besides Ultimate, so try to steal two before the final fight. I
recommend saving before each battle, if you don't successfully steal then
just re-load your save.
There is absolutely no need to swap your load out from the previous set-up,
as these fights are short and sweet. Ultimate's attacks will be Claw (unnamed
attack), Ultima Beam, Claw, Quake2 then flee, unless you deal 20,000 HP, in
which case it'll flee straight away. Note the Midgar Battle background is the
same as the one when you fought Motor Ball on the Midgar Highway.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
FOURTH FORM - FINAL BATTLE
Once Ultimate's HP has dropped to below 20,000, it will makes its way
immediately over to Cosmo Canyon after the previous battle. If you managed to
deplete its HP to 0 in that battle, then the final fight will be fought with
20,000 HP, otherwise its HP will be whatever it was from the previous fight.
Remember that this is also an aerial battle, so it'll be immune to Earth and
Water again.
You should think about equipping all Enemy Skill Materias onto one character,
along with the Reflect ring. The reason being is the fact that Ultimate will
retaliate upon death with the Enemy Skill Shadow Flare, and you won�t be able
to obtain it again until Disk 3 (which won't be too far away). Also, Shadow
Flare can be reflected whilst still learning the Enemy Skill, so equip the
Reflect ring onto that character.
You will receive the battle rewards for defeating Ultimate in this battle, so
it's worth swapping your load out to suit. Also, there are no steal-able
items, so you don't need to worry about equipping the Steal Materia. Here is
my recommended load-out:
1) Cloud (Back Row)
Apocalypse - Double Cut, Your choice...
Crystal Bangle - Enemy Skill, Enemy Skill, Enemy Skill, Enemy Skill,
Reflect Ring All=Restore
2) Yuffie (Back Row)
Rising Sun - Sneak Attack=Deathblow, Luck Plus, Speed Plus
Rune Armlet - Your choice...
Champion Belt
3) Cid (Back Row)
Scimitar - Your choice...
Rune Armlet - Comet, Contain, Slash-All, Counter Attack
Champion Belt
NOTE - To obtain the Apocalypse prior to defeating Ultimate you must first
have obtain a 'special' Chocobo to gain early access to the Ancient
Forest.
Ultimate's attack pattern is constant - it will have a 50% chance of using
Ultima Beam and a 50% chance of using Thunderball. Make sure that the Enemy
Skill carrier is the person to deliver the final blow as Shadow Flare will be
used on the last person to attack it.
Once it has been defeated you will be rewarded with Cloud's Ultima Weapon,
which is a necessary item to have obtained if you to take part in the
optional battle at the Battle Arena, along with the W-Summon Materia and
Omnislash (both of which are obtained from the Battle Square). The prize for
winning the special battle will be the Final Attack Materia.

If paired on one's Weapon, then the following Statuses will have a 20% chance
of being inflicted upon the enemy when attacking.
If paired on one's Armour, then the following Statuses will be defended
against.
A large number of enemies are vulnerable to Slow and Stop, which is why the
Added Effect=Time combo is recommended until you obtain the Contain and Hades
Materia. The next best thing after Time is Seal.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
ELEMENTAL = MAGIC / SUMMON

*ELEMENTAL = CHOCO/MOG - Adds Element:- Wind
If paired on one's Weapon, then the following Elements will do double damage
when attacking against an enemy that is weak to paired Element.
If paired on one's Armour, then the following Elements will be defended
against.
A level 1 Elemental paired in you Armour will halve the Elemental damage
taken, a level 2 Elemental will nullify the damage and a level 3 Elemental
will absorb the damage.
Many enemies are weak against Lightning, particularly in Midgar. Also, many
enemies are weak against Wind, top. Most enemies in the Great Glacier are Ice-
based, so equipping Fire onto your weapon, or Ice onto your armour is advised.
Pairing Elemental with a Summon is preferable to pairing it with Magic, as
Magic *usually* penalises your physical stats more than a Summon would.

> >
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
HP / MP ABSORB = LIGHTNING
^^^^^^^^^^ ALL = LIGHTNING
^^^
With every cast of Lightning, you will hit all enemies whilst also draining
HP/MP. If one of the Lightnings was at level 3, and one of them was at level
2 then only Bolt2 could be used in this way.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
STEAL AS WELL = ICE
^^^^^^^^^ ALL = ICE
^^^
With every cast of Ice, you will hit all enemies whilst also attempting to
Steal from them.If one of the Ices was at level 3, and one of them was at
level 2 then only Bolt2 could be used in this way.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
MP TURBO = FIRE
HP / MP ABSORB = FIRE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For additional MP, you can cast a more powerful Fire attack to in-turn drain
more HP / MP from the target. If one of the Fires was at level 3, and one of
them was at level 2 then only Bolt2 could be used in this way.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
STEAL AS WELL = COMET2
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Comet will strike with 4 gits hitting random targets, each hit will result in
a steal attempt.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
MAGIC COUNTER = RESTORE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Every time a character is hit, he/she will retaliate by casting Cure on
themselves. This combo will not pair with All or Mega All; the counter Cure
can only be cast on themselves.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
MAGIC COUNTER = COMET2
QUADRA MAGIC = COMET2
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Every time a character is hit, he/she will retaliate by casting Comet2 4
times, unless one of the Comet Materias was only at level 1.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
ADDED CUT = MASTER COMMAND, DOUBLE CUT
^^^^^^^^^^
Every time you use your basic attack, you will follow up with an additional
attack, basically turning it into Double Cut. With Double Cut equipped, you
turn into triple cut, and with 4x Cut equipped you attack for 5 hits.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
STEAL AS WELL = DEATHBLOW
^^^ ADDED CUT = DEATHBLOW
^^^^^^^^^
Every time you cast Deathblow, you will also attempt to steal from the enemy,
whilst at the same time following up with a basic attack.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
COVER MATERIA + COVER MATERIA + HYPER
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Less of a combo and more of a strategy, this is a great strategy for Limit
Break levelling.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
COUNTER ATTACK X 8, HP PLUS, COVER, LONG RANGE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Every time the character is hit, he/she will retaliate with 8 potential
counter attacks! You could also try pairing Counter with Deathblow.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
MAGIC COUNTER = COMET2, QUADRA MAGIC = COMET2, HP ABSORB = COMET2,
SNEAK ATTACK = COMET2, MP TURBO = COMET2, MP ABSORB = COMET2, W-MAGIC
^^^^^^^^^^^^
You could, if you wished replace Comet with Ultima, Contain or Gravity for
equally devastating effects. With this combo, you will retaliate to being hit
with 4 castings of Comet2. Note that if you were to replace Sneak Attack with
Added Cut, you would not follow up Magic Counter/Final Attack/Sneak Attack
with Cut; Added Cut only applies to the paired magic when it is selected as a
command. The same applies to HP/MP Absorb, and Steal as Well.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
MP TURBO = KOTR, MP ABSORB = KOTR, W-SUMMON, MIME
^^^^^^^^
You can cast KOTR dealing extra damage, and in-turn replenishing more MP with
each casting. Use Mime to continue casting KOTR for 0 MP.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
SNEAK ATTACK = DEATHBLOW, SNEAK ATTACK = DEATHBLOW, MEGA ALL
^^^^^^^^^^^^
At the start of every battle the character will have a chance of hitting all
characters with Deathblow. If you are using Yuffie then you can equip her
with the Conformer, and swap out Deathblow for Morph to morph all enemies
into an item each battle.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
QUADRA MAGIC = MASTER COMMAND, MEGA ALL, W-MAGIC
^^^^^^^^^^^^
You will be able to use any magic spell 8 times, attacking all targets. Bliss!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
ELEMENTAL = ANY MATERIA that ISN'T Support Materia, Restore, or have any
^^^^^^^^^ Elemental properties
There is a 'Hidden' Element in the game that has been dubbed the '10th
Element', and every single piece of Materia that doesn't have an Elemental
attribute linked to it will conform to the Hidden Element, unless it is a
Support Materia. Restore has it's own properties.
There are several Status changing attacks in the game that have the Hidden
element, but because no direct damage is taken, it cannot be defended
against. There is only one move in the game that uses Hidden that we can
actually defend against by pairing Elemental with any Materia, and that is
Ultimate WEAPON's 'Ultima Beam'. In the Japanese original, more of the
enemies attacks used Hidden. See section E.05 C for more info.

������������������������������������������������������������������������������
--E.18 A - Lucky 7's
Lucky 7's, or All Lucky 7's has to be one of the coolest easter eggs in the
game, and as such it deserves its own sub-section! Whenever one of your
characters HP lands on precisely 7777, they will enter into the Status 7777
Fever, which will then result in the player attacking random targets for 7777
HP per hit! This frenzy will last for a total of 64 hits, in which time the
enemy will not be able to attack. The total damage will be 497,728, and the
only enemies that can withstand this much damage are Ruby and Emerald WEAPON.
In many ways, All Lucky 7's is similar to a Limit Break; as soon as it is
activated it will take priority over all other commands; the same rainbow
scrolling colours that can normally be seen on the Limit gauge can be seen
over the players name; and the command bar at the top of the screen will turn
purple. When attacking, all Elemental and Status changing properties will be
suspended, and all of the enemies defences will be ignored.
Once the flurry of attacks has finished, the character will not leave 7777
Fever mode until his/her HP has been changed, and any subsequent attacks or
healing spells made will deal 7777 HP. The initial 64-attack rampage cannot
be activated twice during one battle, however a character can go into 7777
Fever more than once, attacking and healing for 7777. If two or more
characters activate All Lucky 7's at the same time, then the result would
still be 64 attacks, only they would be split between the characters as they
take it in turns to mutilate the enemy.
If a battle finishes with a characters HP still at 7777, then the game will
restrict All Lucky 7's re-usage by bringing your HP down to 1. Be very
mindful of this. Also, if an enemy were to enter into 7777 Fever then it may
be wise to flee from battle as you would be in grave danger of being wiped
out; the enemy cannot initiate the 64-attack bombardment, but they will hit
for 7777 each hit. Lastly, should you enter into 7777 Fever whilst Poisoned
then you would instantly kill yourself, as the Poison damage would inflict
7777 HP.
NOTE - The only battle in the game that disables All Lucky 7's is the final
battle against Sephiroth.
HOW TO ACTIVATE ALL LUCKY 7'S
There are 6 methods that I know of to enable 7777 Fever (all credit for the
final 2 methods goes to James Baxter):

` ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '
1.) Chocobuckle
Every time that you escape from battle, either by using L1 & R1, using the
Exit Materia or by using a Smoke Bomb (Battle Arena doesn't count),
Chocobuckles attack power increases by 1 HP (ignoring defences). If one were
to escape from 2222 battles, then you would be able to bring your HP down
from 9999 to 7777, activating All Lucky 7's. You could also try escaping 1111
times and using it twice, just be sure the enemy doesn't hit you in that time.
2.) Aire Tam Storm
Emerald WEAPON will use an attack called Aire Tam (Materia) Storm that will
deal 1111 HP per Materia that its target has equipped. If you were to equip
just two pieces of Materia, one of them being HP Plus, then your HP would be
brought down to 7777, provided you keep your HP topped up. Emerald will use
Aire Tam Storm in three different circumstances:
- After opening its eyes, it will use Emerald Beam, Eyes x8, Emerald Beam,
Eyes x4, Aire Tam Storm. Try to keep one yellow eye alive.
- After using Revenge Stamp 10 times.
- As a counter attack to Knights of The Round if its HP is less than 50%
after the summon has finished. Eyes must be open.

| xx77 |
| |
| All of the following methods for activating All Lucky 7's require you to |
| understand something that's relatively simple to grasp: If the final 2 |
| digits of your current HP were to land on 77 (xx77), and your HP was lower |
| than 7777, then you would be able to bring your current HP to 7777 by |
| using Potions and Hi-Potions. |
| |
| All references to xx77 will be displayed as '77. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
3.) Mini
Equip one player with Manipulate, and the other two with Enemy Skills with
Goblin Punch on them (unless your characters are not the same level as each
other). Make sure to equip Transform onto one of the two characters with
Enemy Skill. Make sure not to have Mega-All or Slash-All equipped on these
two characters, and make sure their Limits are not full. Speed the Battle
Speed up to the max, and make sure that each players current HP is lower than
7777 (equip HP<->MP then un-equip it).
Enter into a random encounter and then use Manipulate on one enemy whilst
killing the rest. Then, cast Haste if you wish, otherwise inflict Mini on the
two characters that aren't manipulating (you can also use Shrivels). If your
characters are the same level as each other then you can use Goblin Punch for
8 HP worth of damage every hit, otherwise just attack normally for 1 HP until
they reach '77.
4.) Cat's Bell
The Cat's Bell will recover 2 HP per step that you take. You could use this
to make the final 3 digits land on 154, 354, 554, 754 or 954. Then, enter
into battle making sure to either have Demi2 equipped, or the Laser Enemy
Skill. Cast either move, and your HP will be reduced by 50%, landing on '77.

to his 7777 FAQ on GameFaq should you wish to view the source of the
following data. Used with permission.
5.) Modifying the 'Base' Max HP
Using the HP Data Table below, you will be able to modify your Max HP to
reach '77. Firstly, you must find your 'Base' Max HP (or Base HP). To do that
you must first remove any Materia from a character that would modify their
HP. If your character's Base HP is below 3889 (around Level 50) or above
9970, then you will not be able to modify your HP to reach '77.
Next, equip the relevant Materia modifiers required to reach '77. For
example, if your Base HP was 5254, then your entry would appear as:
5254 : +29% -11% -70% |
To reduce your Base HP by 11%, you would need to equip Magic or Summon
Materia that reduce your HP. The 3 variations of the - modifiers are -2%, -5%
and -10%. So, 3 Materias would be required: 1x -5% and 2x -2% to reach -11%.
To increase your HP by 29%, you would need to use HP Plus Materia, which will
raise your Max HP by 10%, and then 10% thereafter with each level that the HP
Plus gains, for a maximum of 50%. These can stack for a total of 100%. So,
either using a combination of 4 Lv 1 HP Plus's, or one Lv4 HP Plus, you can
bring your Max HP up to 40%, then you can bring your HP down by -5% followed
by 3x -2% to reach +29%.
Recommended Materia quantity for each modifier:
2x HP Plus Mastered OR 10x HP Plus Lv 1
6x -10% modifiers
7x -5% modifiers
8x -2% modifiers
Once you have obtained an xx77 figure for your Max HP, you must then bring
your current HP to Max HP if it isn't already (X-Potion, etc.) Then, making
sure that no adjustments are made to any Materia that could reduce your Max
HP, remove the -% modifiers until your Max HP is above 7777. As mentioned,
you can then use Hi-Potions and Potions to bring your HP up to 7777 (or 7767
if you wished to activate Lucky 7's mid-battle).
Of all 6111 possible Base HP values above (and including) 3889, 75% (4548)
can be modified to reach '77. If you find that your Base HP value isn't
listed, then refer to method 6:
6.) Modifying the 'Base' Max MP, then using HP<->MP
Quite simply, refer to the MP Data Table to find the required modifier to
manipulate your Base MP as so that you can reach x77. Then equip and un-equip
the HP<->MP Materia to bring your HP down to your MP, provided that your
current HP was higher than your Max MP to begin with.
You cannot do this if your Base MP is higher than 977, as there are no
modifiers that decrease MP. The only + modifiers are +2%, +5%, and +10%. MP
Plus will increase your Max MP by multiples of 10%, up to 50% as per the
level of the Materia. Effects can stack up to 100%.
You also cannot do this if your Base HP is lower than 3889, as the most you
can increase your HP by is 100% (7777 / 2 = 3888.5). Because of this, there
will be no listings for Base MP lower than 300, as you cannot have more than
300 Base MP with less than 3889 Base HP. Of all 678 possible Base MP values
between 300 and 977, 310 (46%) can be modified to reach '77.
Again, all credit for the data contained within the following charts goes to
James Baxter; I have simply consolidated the information to make it more
aesthetically pleasing, and to take up less space. None of the calculations
are my own.

Perhaps the oldest trick in the book, the W-Item glitch will allow you to
duplicate any item, so long as it is usable in-battle, and so long as you
have the W-Item Materia, which is obtained from the raid on Midgar towards
the end of Disk 2. Here's how it works:
It is recommended that you have the ATB set to 'Wait' whilst performing the W-
Item trick. Whilst in-battle, have the character with W-Item equipped select
the item that you wish to duplicate (say, a Megalixir). Then, select any item
as your second item, but instead of confirming a target for that item, cancel
the second item and you will have noticed that the initial item will have
increased by one.
You can now press O, X, O, X etc. until you have 99 of the desired item. This
is useful for things like Sylkis Greens, as not only do they sell for a lot
of money but they will also help you with the Chocobo breeding process.
Elixirs are useful too, as they can be fed to the Magic Pots for high amounts
of AP and EXP.
Be warned - If you only have one item left then you could end up accidentally
losing that item if you cancel out the W-Item command before selecting the
second item.

This is slightly more tricky method than the normal W-Item trick, and it
allows you to duplicate items that aren't usable in battle, such as Sources
and Weapons. There are a few variation to the way the trick works.
--- STEALING/MORPHING ITEMS FROM MULTIPLE ENEMIES ---
First make sure that you have *one* expendable item at the top of the
inventory list (such as a Potion), then make sure that you have 0 of the item
you wish to duplicate. For my example, I'm going to be duplicating Power
Sources from the Screamers in Mt. Nibel. Note that using Yuffie's Conformer
is the best way to Morph an enemy.
NOTE - This trick works best when faced with multiple enemies. You can still
dupe items from single enemies, however it's a lot trickier and takes
much longer to set-up.
Set Yuffie up with Morph, Cloud with Manipulate and player 3 with W-Item. You
can only battle the Screamer on the winding path leading towards the reactor,
or at the reactor itself (you'll have a higher chance of encountering them at
the reactor). When you encounter them, kill off all but the two Screamers,
then Manipulate one of them.
Now have Yuffie cast Morph. Before the move is executed, have player 3 use W-
Item, and use the single Potion as your first item. Now wait for the Screamer
to be Morphed into a Power Source. If done correctly, the Power Source will
fill the same inventory slot that was occupied by the Potion. You can now
select and cancel another item, thereby duplicating the Power Sources up to
99.
For Magic Sources you can encounter 2x 8 Eye in the Battle Arena in round 3.
For this battle you must set Yuffie up with Counter=Morph. It is imperative
that you cast Stop, Sleep or Paralyzed on one of the 8 Eyes. When the other
attacks, select the single Potion then wait for Yuffie to counter with Morph.
So long as the other 8 Eye cannot attack, you will be able to dupe yourself
99 Magic Sources.
Luck Sources and Speed Sources can be duped from Bad Raps and Poodlers,
respectively (Sunken Gelnika), and Guard Sources can be duped from the Spiral
near Mideel. Mind Sources are the hardest to farm seeing as they can only be
obtained from the Serpent (once you've obtained the W-Item Materia), and they
only ever come in single formations.
--- STEALING/MORPHING ITEMS FROM SINGLE ENEMIES ---
First make sure that you have *one* expendable item at the top of the
inventory list (such as a Potion), then make sure that you have 0 of the item
you wish to duplicate. For this example I am going to be morphing Mind
Sources from the Serpent on the Sunken Gelnika. Set Cloud up with Final
Attack=Revive and Quadra Magic=Revive. Set Yuffie up with Final Attack=Morph,
and lastly set player 3 up with W-Item. *MAKE SURE* that Yuffie is player 1
(at the top) so that she uses Morph before Cloud uses Life2.
Enter into battle with the Serpent. Make sure that Cloud's and Yuffie's HP
are in critical, then start bringing the Serpent's HP down using L4 Suicide;
It is more likely to cast Aqualung that way. The idea is to have Cloud and
Yuffie KO'd at the same time. Yuffie will then retaliate by Morphing the
Serpent into a Mind Source, and Cloud will cast Life2 four times.
Prior to Yuffie using Morph, make sure that player 3 is sitting in the W-Item
screen with the Potion 'used', awaiting input of the second item. If done
correctly, the Potion's inventory slot will be filled with the Mind Source,
you will then have time to dupe yourself 99 of them while Cloud casts Life2.
The Serpent's attacks are dependent on your party's average current HP and
the Serpents Current HP. If the Serpent's HP is:
- 0% - 20% of party's current HP, Dragon Dance is used.
- 21% - 40% of party's current HP, Huge Tidal Wave is used.
- 41% - 80% of party's current HP, Aqualung is used.
- 81% - 100% of party's current HP, Viper Breath is used.
Using L4 Suicide and Cure, you should be able to regulate the Serpent's HP
until it uses Aqualung.
NOTE - If you happen to be playing on a Playstation console, then you can
simply open the lid, thereby not allowing the battle to finish. This
way you can dupe the Source without having to go through the Final
Attack method.
--- HAVING ITEMS STOLEN FROM YOU ---
This works similarly to the previous two methods, only this way could take
much, much longer seeing as an element of luck is involved. The plus side is
that you will be able to duplicate virtually any piece of armour or weapon
using this method.
Similar to the previous methods, you must have *one* expendable item at the
top of your inventory list (such as a Potion), and only one of the item that
you wish to duplicate in your inventory. For this example I am going to be
duplicating myself 99 Mystiles. First I'll make sure to have equipped all but
one Mystile, then I'll get into battle with an enemy that can steal from me.
These locations include:
- Vice, Sector 5
- Prowler, Midgar Area (World Map)
- Magic Pot, Swamp Area North Crater.
I shall be battling the Vice in Sector 6. Be sure to encounter them in their
2x formation, they'll only be found in the first 2 screens from the church.
Manipulate one and wait for the other to steal from you, if you are lucky
then it will steal the item that you wish to dupe. Now kill it to have your
item returned to you, but not before having the player with W-Item select the
Potion. When the item is returned to you you'll be able to duplicate yourself
99 of the item. You'll be able to stock up on Potions easily in Sector 5,
aswell as save your game.
If you had more than one of the desired item in your inventory, then you
would not be able to duplicate it seeing as it would return to the inventory
slot it came from, as opposed to filling up the inventory slot that was
occupied by the Potion. The following items *cannot* be duplicated this way:
- ALL Limit Break Manuals
- Battery
- Save Crystal
- Combat Diary
- Autograph
- Gambler
- Desert Rose
- Earth Harp
- Buster Sword
- Gatling Gun
- Seraph Comb
- Silver Barrette
--- THROWING WEAPONS ---
Using the same methods as above, you can have one character kill another mid-
battle. Before the character is killed, have him/her use the Throw command to
throw one of your valuable weapons, then quickly have the W-Item holder use
up the single Potion. When the character is K.O'd, the weapon will be
returned to the first empty available slot, unless you had more than one to
begin with. The best way to kill off a character is to have another character
use W-Magic and Contain.
--- STEALING 198 ITEMS ---
It is possible to fill two inventory slot with the same item, thereby being
able to hold up to 198 of that particular item. The main condition is that
the item is steal-able or morph-able. For this example I'm going to be
stealing an Elixir from the Gighee in the Swamp Area in the North Crater.
Equip one player with Steal and another with W-Item. Make sure to have the
top item slot filled with a single Potion, and the second from the top being
the Elixir. It is important that the Potion is above the Elixir, and that you
also only have one Elixir in stock.
During battle, use up the Potion, then have your character Steal the Elixir
from the Gighee. Before the item is added to your stock, have the W-Item
holder use up the single Elixir that is in your inventory. When the Elixir is
stolen, the top inventory slot will be filled with the new Elixir. You can
the dupe yourself 99 Elixirs in the second slot, then use the normal W-Item
trick to dupe another 99 Elixirs in the top slot.

It is unclear whether or not this little trick has been intentionally
included, or is a 'bug' of the escape feature. Throughout the game you will
come across enemies that have surprise attacked you, or 'back attack' as it
is referred to in-game. When this happens you will receive double damage from
the first physical attack you receive. By tapping L1 and R1, you can turn to
face the enemy, thereby negating the double damage taken.
Note that when you receive a back attack, your rows will be reversed. If this
bothers you, press left on the D-Pad to change back to their original rows.
If you decide not to, then when the battle finishes your rows will be back to
normal.
If a character has the Sprint Shoes equipped then they will never have their
back to the enemies when the battle begins.

When using Tifa's Limit Breaks, Cait Sith's Slots Limit Break, or selecting a
handicap in the battle Arena, you can slow down the rate at which the reel
spins by tapping Square. This is most effective in the Battle Arena; pressing
confirm on the handicap that is *2* prior to the desired handicap is the
easiest way to manipulate the reels.
To see an in-depth explanation on manipulating Cait Sith's Slots, visit
section E.02 E, or use QSI Link [Slots].

There is one weapon in the game that ignores the damage penalty when using
the command Morph. Usually, Morph will attack for 1/8 of normal damage, but
Yuffie's Conformer has a damage modifier that overrules the damage penalty
when using Morph. And where can this morphing weapon be found? In the same
place where the enemies can be morphed into Sources - the Sunken Gelnika!
HALLWAY:
Poodler - 6000 HP - 70 AP - Morph: Speed Source - Steal: Turbo Ether
Bad Rap - 9000 HP - 70 AP - Morph: Luck Source - Steal: Ink
CARGO ROOM/RESEARCH ROOM: (The Serpent can only be fought in the Cargo
Room.)
Unknown - 10,000 HP - 150 AP - Morph: Power Source - Steal: Fire Armlet
Unknown 2 - 13,000 HP - 300 AP - Morph: Guard Source - Steal: Aurora Armlet
Unknown 3 - 15,000 HP - 200 AP - Morph: Magic Source - Steal: Bolt Armlet
Serpent - 14,000 HP - 70 AP - Morph: Mind Source - Steal: Water Ring
I suspect that the morphing abilities of the Conformer were unintentional,
but given the fact that the developers were unable to fix it, they decided to
work it into the mechanics of the games 'reward system', which is why the
Conformer is found in the same place where Sources can be morphed. Just a
speculation.

Have you ever wondered what was behind barking dog when you first travelled
through Junon's underground pathways on your way to the Reactor? Have you
also ever wondered what would've happened if you had failed the underwater
mini game in which you had to sink the Red Sub? Well, aside from losing the
Huge Materia, you would also lose the Grey Submarine, which means you
wouldn't be able to access the Sunken Gelnika, fight Emerald WEAPON, or
obtain the key to the Ancients.
Wait a minute, wouldn't that prevent you from finishing the game? Well,
technically no, seeing as you would be able to obtain the Red Submarine by re-
visiting Junon's underground pathways. This time you'll have to defeat two
weak Shinra Guards that are standing by the dog, once they're out of the way
you can interact with the dog to open up the passageway. As with the grey
sub, you'll have the option to take the crew on board as hostage.
The red Submarine looks cool, and in my opinion it should've been the main
sub, and the Grey Sub should've been the secondary sub. Oh well. In the Red
Sub you'll be able to do everything that you could've with the Grey Sub,
aside from getting the Huge Materia.

A recurring easter egg of the Final Fantasy series, the Moai Face can usually
be seen in extremely remote locations on the World Map. in FFIV the Moai Face
can be seen on the moon, in FFV it can be seen on the seabed, and in FFVIII
it can be seen during a battle on the World Map during PuPu's sidequest.
FFVII is the first Final Fantasy to put the Moai Face in a location that
isn't on a World Map, and it can be seen in 2 different locations. The first
place that it can be spotted at is in the Chocobo Races during the long
track, and the second Moai Face can be found camouflaged into the rock face
on the north-western most screen in the Great Glacier.

After you have completed the Mideel events on Disk 2, you be able to dig for
the Key to Sector 5 in Bone Village. Once you have obtained this key item,
you will be able to return to Midgar, namely Sectors 5 & 6. Should you return
to the church where you first met Aeris, you'll find Aeris praying on the
flower beds, at least for a short while anyway. When you approach her, she'll
flicker and vanish. Should you speak to the girl there, she will ask �Hey!
Where's the flower lady??�
It has been speculated that this was some sort of glitch, and that this scene
wasn't supposed to occur. That is false; Aeris's Ghost is programmed to
occur, although there is a slight glitch involving a glimpse of Aeris for
just a few frames as you enter and the screen fades from black. Aeris won't
be in her usual spot neither, she will be in the dead centre of the screen,
just south of the flower bed. This is a glitch, and isn't supposed to have
been seen.

If you bring Aeris and/or Tifa along with you during your first visit to
Gongaga, then you'll have some additional dialogue with them that can raise
or lower their affinity towards you, depending on the choices you make and
the dialogue options you choose.
What isn't widely known is the fact you will get slightly different dialogue
if either Aeris and/or Tifa's affection value is higher than 120:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
' '
' Tifa: '
' '

' '
' CHOICE 1: �I just got lucky� '

It is impossible to reveal Aeris's bonus dialogue without using some sort of
cheat device, however you can raise Tifa's affection to above 120 by making
use of the exploit as listed below.
Additionally, if tifa's affection rating is above 50 after the Midgar Events
on Disk 2, then a very slightly different scene will play out during the time
Cloud and Tifa spend together.
What isn't very well known about is the dummied out content that was supposed
to have taken place just outside of Gongaga village, on the same screen as
the Deathblow Materia. This would have occurred after Cloud had remarked �A
ruined reactor�, had Barret in your party, and you had spoken to at least one
NPC within Gongaga.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
' '
' Barret: '
' '
' BARRET: �The Shinra build reactors to make money. And this is what '

' You saw that village. It's always the powerless that get '
' victimised by tyrants like Shinra. '
' The one's with the power control those without it. That's just '
' the way of the world now. '
' I can't let 'em do that. That's why I formed AVALANCHE to fight '
' em. '
' '
' BARRET: ��yo, Cloud. '
' You still gonna fight with us, right? '
' We need you, man.� '

' '

There are four characters in the game that have affection values, of which 3
can be exploited - Barret's, Tifa's and Yuffie's. Aeris's cannot be exploited.
TIFA:
During your raid on the Shinra HQ during Disk 1, you'll be able to talk to
Tifa multiple times to keep boosting her affection values indefinitely (max
255). Every time you choose option 1, �Leave it to me� to boost her affection
by 1. Choosing �Kinda hard� will lower her affection by 1, and can be
repeated to bring her value down to 0.
BARRET:
When you first arrive at Cosmo Canyon, male sure to have Barret in your
party. Enter the back of Tiger Lily's weapon shop, and talk to Barret. Choose
option 1 to boost his affection by three, then choose option 2. Run out of
the screen, and repeat the process to continually boost his rating by 3. When
you do choose option 1 on the second choice, you'll increase Barret's
affection by another three, and the glitch will no longer be exploitable.
Do not spam this too heavily if you are trying to obtain the Best Bromance
Trophy, as doing so will prevent the trophy from popping.
YUFFIE:
When you recruit Yuffie, you will have 5 dialogue choices, each correct
answer boosting her affection towards you by two. When you correctly answer
the fifth choice, she will have joined your party and you won't be able to
make use of the exploit. Instead, purposely fail the fifth choice, then
battle her again to repeat the process. You cannot raise her affection more
than 30 by doing this. See section E.07 for more info on the recruiting
process.

Normally, when you pick up an item the main playable character is frozen, and
the menu is disabled. Then you'll hear the sound effect, followed by the item
being added into your inventory. Then a flag is enabled which signifies the
item has been picked up, and then the text box appears. When you close the
text box, the item disappears and you regain full control.
In the case of the Elixir and the Potion in the Great Glacier, this is not
the case. The first thing that takes place is the item is added to your
inventory, as opposed to disabling control of the character and menu. Then
you hear the sound, then you receive the text box, but because you can still
move your character, you can simply leave and re-enter the screen to repeat
this process as many times as you like. So long as you don't press confirm to
close the dialogue box, the Elixir/Potion will not be removed from the field.
The Mind Source has a similar bug, where movement will not be disabled when
you pick it up, although the item isn't programmed to add itself to your
inventory until after you close the dialogue box, so if you were to exit and
re-enter the screen again the item would still be there, but your Mind Source
count will still be the same.

| *NOTES* |
+---------+
ES-1 - BIG GUARD - Can be learnt from the shores of Corel Area, Gold Saucer
Area or Gongaga Area. Must acquire the Manipulate Materia first.
ES-2 - AQUALUNG - To encounter the Harpy you must drive around the desert in
your buggy (World Map), or equip Chocobo Lure and battle around the
chocobo tracks.
1 - BLACKSMITH - The first time you visit the weapon sellers house there
will be no-one home. You must return after having acquired the Tiny
Bronco, you can then exchange the Mythril for either a Gold Armlet
or the Great Gospel.
ES-3 - FROG SONG - Be sure to have protection from Frog, such as a White Cape.
S-1 - VAGYRISK CLAW - The Bagrisk can only be fought in the area just west
of Cosmo Canyon, as the 'sunset effect' begins to fade. Also, the
higher the level of the person stealing, the lower the chance you
have of stealing the Vagyrisk Claw.
2 - SHORTCUT - Once yo have obtained the Tiny Bronco you will be able to
cut through the river near Nibelheim to emerge near Gongaga, and
vice-versa.
3 - CACTUS USLAND - Once you have obtained the Highwind you will be able
to visit this small island to encounter the Cactuer. You can steal
the Tetra Element from them.
4 - LUCRECIA'S CAVE - Once you have obtained either a Green chocobo or the
submarine, you can access Lucrecia's cave for some hidden story-line
secrets and some goodies.
5 - ANCIENT FOREST - You will be able to access the Ancient Forest once
you have a Green chocobo, alternatively you can wait until Ultimate
WEAPON has been defeated.
6 - MATERIA CAVE - Once you have a Black or Gold chocobo you can access
the Materia Cave near North Corel.
7 - SUNKEN GELNIKA - If you are having trouble finding it then bring your
submarine to the point shown on the map and submerge to find the
Gelnika. Be careful as Emerald could be sitting directly in front of
it!
8 - RUBY WEAPON - Will appear as a small red fin sticking out of the
desert. It'll only appear once Ultimate WEAPON has been defeated,
and you have engaged in one random battle.

To World Map and Icicle Inn
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you'd taken the :-
Left + Right path you would have landed at the entrance. Head north to
continue on from the forest.
Right + Left path you would have landed at the Lone Tree. Head south,
then west to continue on from the forests.
Left + Left path (as advised) you would have landed in the forest.
Right + Right path you would have landed east of the entrance. Make your
way through the south screen to arrive at the entrance then continue
north to come to the forest
1.) At the very north of the screen in the forests, you'll be able to pick up
(A), the [MIND SOURCE]. Now head east two screens to 2.
2.) To the north east of the screen you'll be able to pick up (B), the
[POTION]. By not pressing O a second time, you can add one to your
inventory whilst retaining the Potion's 'source'. Meaning, it'll still
be there when you run back. Now head north west to 3.
3.) You'll have to step on the ice blocks in a certain sequence here to be
able to get to the other side. The same goes for on the way back. In the
cave ahead you'll be able to find (C), the [SAFETY BIT] (be sure to get
this).
Heading North:
Up, Left, Down, Left, Up, Right, Up, Up, Up, Left, Down, Right, Right , Up
Heading South:
Left, Down, Right, Right, Down, Left, Down, Right, Down, Left
4.) Picking a second 'infinite' potion as you return through section 3, make
your way east two screens to the Lone Tree.
5.) Heading east, make your way 4 screens up to the far eastern mountainside
'split'.
6.) Now head through the far eastern exit, this is a one way path that can
only be travelled on from screen 5. Along the path on the second screen
to the right you'll just about to be able to make out (D), the [ADDED
CUT MATERIA] in the snow.
7.) You should now emerge at the hot springs. MAKE SURE to examine the left
side of it to 'touch it' as you won�t be able to grab the Alexander
Materia otherwise. Then make your way 3 screens to the north to come to
the snow fields.
8.) Every second or so press O to lay down a marker. When the wind throws
you off direction, stop moving. Use the markers that you have placed to
pick up your orientation. Firstly, head north to find and igloo type
cavern containing (E) the [ALL MATERIA].
9.) Now head out of the igloo and head east. After you've travelled through
4 screens you'll find yourself on more mountain side paths. Head into
the eastern cavern and remove Counter Attack. As long as you touched the
hot springs earlier then you can fight the Snow here, and even though
the music suggests a boss battle it's actually just the same Snow as
listed above. Make sure to steal a Circlet from her. Once she has been
defeated she'll leave behind (F), the [ALEXANDER MATERIA].
10.) As long as you've managed to grab the Alexander Materia without passing
out then you'll have succeeded in grabbing as much as I intended for
you to grab. You can attempt to make your way over to the remaining
Elixir on the far west side, but it's highly doubtful that you'll make
it in time (although it is possible). There is an exploit you can make
use of here, however. I suggest at this point either making your way
back to the Snow Fields and then north to find Holzoff's cabin, or just
running around until you pass out, you'll then awaken in his cabin.
Once at the cabin, you'll have to listen to Holzoff's story to
continue. After spending the night there head outside to hear Barret
embarrass himself, then your teammates will join you. Head south back
to the Snow Fields. When you head back out you'll have a fresh 544
steps to play with.
11.) From the Snow Fields head all the way to the west 3 screens to arrive at
more cliff sides. Now make your way west 3 screens to arrive at a
cavern that can be entered from both sides. the final item here, the
[ELIXIR] (G) can be duplicated as many times as you please, as long as
you don't pick up the source (exactly like the Potion we saw earlier,
but unfortunately not the Mind Source).
Press O once to have the message 'Received Elixir' appear, but DON'T
press O a second time. Instead, run out of the cavern and back in
again. The Elixir will still be there, and you'll have added one to
your count. As long as you don't accidentally pick up the source of the
eternal Elixir, then you'll be able to keep coming to this spot as many
times as you like.

As much as I love Final Fantasy VII, I have to admit that the game is like
Cloud in so many ways; it's virtually broken, and very few people know! (or
should I say knew...) This section is my way of moaning about the things that
need moaning about. Feel free to add your own rant by e-mailing me -
[email protected]. I will be sure to mention your name should you
contribute to this section.
!!SPOILER ALERT!! Be sure not to read this section unless you have completed
the game already.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.01 B - �This isn't just a reactor!�
During the first Boss sequence you will be told to 'Attack while its tails
up'! So, I attacked whilst its tail was up and it killed me. What gives?
O.k, so this is probably the oldest rant in the games history
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.03 B - Sector 4 Platforms
When you first meet President Shinra on the bridge of the reactor, he will
claim that Cloud was previously in Soldier... even though Cloud never was in
Soldier! Maybe he was just mistaken from the glow in Cloud's eyes, but
something about the way he said it suggests otherwise.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.06 B - Hojo's Laboratory
So what exactly was Hojo planning with Aeris and Red XIII??? It seems he was
trying to mate them to make a, erm, Red Cetra? Or Aeris XIII...
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.06 C - Escaping From Shinra
Sephiroth, upon meeting the Midgar Zolom - �Dammit! I left the damn Masamune
Blade back in the Shinra HQ! I'll just double back to fetch it...� Was
(Jenova) Sephiroth just very forgetful, or was he able to spawn more copies
of the Masamune blade as he did the first time (remember that it was actually
Jenova in the form of Sephiroth).
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.07 B - The Nibelheim Incident
How does Cloud remember so much of something if he wasn't actually there to
see it for himself? I'm talking about the part where Cloud waits outside the
reactor to guard Tifa whilst Zack and Sephiroth venture inside.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.09 C - Cargo Ship
Not a huge rant, but how exactly did the rest of Cloud's companions make it
onto the Cargo Ship? I just though, imagine if they made a FF7 spin off where
they basically made the same game but through the eyes of another character,
say, Tifa! That would be cool...
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.10 B - Mt. Corel/North Corel
When Barret and Dyne look out to the village of Corel, they are supposed to
be looking at a desert followed by a horizon. So why then are they looking at
forests surrounded by mountains? Plus, Corel is half a continent away!!
Bumb - one speculation is that what they were supposed to be looking at,
before the story line had changed during development, was Gongaga. 'There was
an explosion at a reactor' doesn't specify which reactor exploded, and
originally this could have been referring to the ruined reactor in Gongaga.
Either way, the cinematics makes little sense whatsoever.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.11 A - Gold Saucer
When you board the Ropeway 'cart' you'll notice that the propellors are on
the upper side of the cart, but whilst the cinematics are playing on your
first visit you'll see that they are on the lower side. Then they'll be on
the upper side again when it boards at the Gold Saucer.
When you first approach the Battle Square (after recruiting Cait Sith) you
will be lead to believe that Barret has shot the place up. This will later be
clarified as being Dyne. WHY OH WHY (and how) would Dyne just 'hop' out of
prison, shoot a few people in the Battle Square, and then just jump back down
into the prison again? What the hell's all that about??
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.15 B - Shinra Mansion
This one has bugged me for a long, long time. When we see Sephiroth in the
basement of the Shinra Mansion (where we obtain the Destruct Materia), he
tells us to go through Mt. Nibel. Why? Sephiroth's next destination was the
Temple of The Ancients, and there is absolutely nothing waiting for us (that
Sephiroth knows about) on the other side of Mt. Nibel.
My personal theory of this has been that there was meant to be an additional
scene within the reactor itself, but due to the limitations of the PS1 disks,
they were forced to edit it out. Perhaps a small encounter with Sephiroth and
Cloud in the rooms with all the 'monster' tanks, where Sephiroth reveals a
small insight into Cloud's past, and mentions the Temple of The Ancients as
his next destination...
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.16 A - Meet the Astrona.... errr, I mean Captain, Cid!
...How did the plane just take off all by itself?? That whole scene seems
pretty far-fetched.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.19 B - The Date
How exactly did Cloud work out that Sephiroth was after the Black Materia? As
I recall, the first mention of the Black Materia was upon Cloud's first
arrival to the Gold Saucer. If you speak to Dio, he will mention that a boy
of Cloud's age was asking about it. The second reference to the Black Materia
comes from the weapon seller south of Gongaga (where you exchange the
mythril). He talks about 'Ultimate Destructive Magic'. Cloud was then able to
piece the two together... how exactly? He must be a detective of some sorts
(Hot-Blooded Detective Joe).
During the date sequence, we learn of Cait Sith's true nature. We know that
he has Marlene held captive somewhere... but that whole side-story never
concludes! Do you think it's possible that Reeve just forgot about poor old
Marlene and she starved to death? And yes I'm aware that the little girl in
Kalm in the final cinematics is supposed to be Marlene, but that isn't
conclusive.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D1.21 B - Corral Valley/City of The Ancients
I'm not sure where to begin here.
1) When you approach the alter Aeris is facing the stairs, but while the FMV
is playing she has her back to the stairs. Once the FMV has finished she
is facing the stairs again.
2) Whilst Sephiroth is descending on to of Aeris he has no gloves, but right
at the end as he plunges his sword in he is wearing gloves.
3) When we first approach the alter the floor is almost transparent. Then
when the FMV begins we see that it is chequered like a chess board. Then it
changes to being hard brown, like marble, then it changes back to
transparent after the FMV has finished.
4) As Holy falls out of Aeris's hair, her Ribbon falls off, then it (the
ribbon) is back in her hair afterwards.
5) The only line that Jenova has in the entire game has a spelling mistake -
'beacause'.
6) When Cloud picks Aeris up she has her head to the right of Cloud, then
when he drops into the water her head is to his left.
7) Did Cloud actually kill Aeris? I mean, she may have just been unconscious??
Also, it seems weird how Cloud can float whilst carrying Aeris.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D2.11 A - The Final Frontier
Cloud and his companions went out of their way to stop the Shinra from
getting their hands on the Huge Materia as so that they could use them for
their own deeds. But... what if the Shinra's plan had succeeded? I mean, it
was a pretty good plan after all, and the Huge Materia isn't really necessary
for Cloud to defeat Sephiroth.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D2.12 A - Bugenhagen's Laboratory
When you board the Highwind you can talk to Yuffie about her travel sickness.
This is quite hilarious as Cloud will talk to Yuffie as though he still
believes he was previously in Soldier! Maybe he was having a relapse, and his
mind is still sick and twisted (or maybe the dev's made (another) mistake).
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
D3.03 C - Bizarro
When you kill Sephiroth you see blood dripping down his face. Why would they
show blood on Sephiroth but not Aeris?
