1. Intro
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
I think this is the first FAQ for both PC and PSX on GameFAQs, and the first
one ever on CheatHappens.

=======================
Version 1.5
=======================
Sarah (firegirl666@sailormoon.com) says that there's a tool called GOLDFINGER
that will give you access to the movies like on the PC. So I guess it's not
JUST the PC Movies Guide!
According to Ziethian, Cid has another weapon. I put it in Cid's Weapons
section.
Well, I guess until now Cid wasn't good enough for my character section...
He's in there now. Thanks, fatedrummer!
=======================
Version 1.4
=======================
Accidentally uploaded when I wasn't supposed to, so I changed something back.
=======================
Version 1.3
=======================
Thanks to Raekwon917, I am now aware of the true power of each character's
Ultimate Weapon. Thanks!
=======================
Version 1.2
=======================
Thanks to "kailvamp11", I now know how you were supposed to get the first
number
in the locker combo for Vincent (officially, I just guessed it...not like I
found it from someone else's FAQ...).
Much thanks!

=======================
Cloud Strife
=======================
Job: Mercenary (ex-member of SOLDIER)
Age: 21
Weapon: Sword
Height: 5' 7"
Birthdate: August 19
Birthplace: Nibelheim
Blood Type: AB
The main character of Final Fantasy VII. Originally a member of SOLDIER, he is
now a mercenary who will take any job. After being hired by AVALANCHE, he
gradually gets caught up in a massive struggle for the life of the planet. His
enormous sword can cut almost anything in two.
=======================
Barret Wallace
=======================
Job: Leader of Avalanche
Age: 35
Weapon: Gun-arm
Height: 6' 5"
Birthdate: December 15
Birthplace: Corel Village
Blood Type: O
Head of the underground resistance movement, AVALANCHE. He's fighting the
mega-conglomerate, Shinra, Inc. which has monopolized Mako energy, building
special reactors to suck it out of the planet. Barret depends on brute strength
and his "Gun-arm" to see him through. His wife died in an accident several
years ago, and he now lives with his daughter Marlene.
=======================
Tifa Lockhart
=======================
Job: Bar Hostess
Age: 20
Weapon: Glove
Height: 5' 5"
Birthdate: May 3
Birthplace: Nibelheim
Blood Type: B
Bright and optimistic, Tifa always cheers up the others when they're down. But
don't let her face fool you, she can decimate almost any enemy with her fists.
She is one of the main members of AVALANCHE. She and Cloud were childhood
friends, and although she has strong feelings for him, she will never admit it.
=======================
Aeris Gainsborough
=======================
Job: Flower Seller
Age: 22
Weapon: Rod
Height: 5' 3"
Birthdate: February 7
Birthplace: Unknown
Blood Type: O
Young, beautiful, and somewhat mysterious, Aeris meets Cloud while selling
flowers on the streets of Midgar. She decides to join him soon after. Her
unusual abilities enable her to use magic, but she seems more interested in the
deepening love triangle between herself, Cloud and Tifa.
=======================
Red XIII
=======================
Job: Beast
Age: 48
Weapon: Headdress
Height: N/A
Birthdate: Unknown
Birthplace: Cosmo Canyon
Blood Type: Unknown
Just like his name says, he is an animal with fire-red fur. But under this
fierce exterior is an intelligence surpassing that of any human's. His sharp
claws and fangs make him good at close-range fighting, but other than that, not
much else is known about him. It's not even certain "Red XIII" is his real
name. A real enigma.
=======================
Cait Sith
=======================
Job: Toysaurus
Age: N/A
Weapon: Megaphone
Height: 3' 3"
Birthdate: N/A
Birthplace: N/A
Blood Type: N/A
Cait Sith rides around on the back of a huge stuffed Mog he magically brought
to life. Megaphone in hand, he's always shouting orders and creating dopey
attacks. When his slot machine attack works, the enemy camp looks like an
overturned toy box. His hobby is fortune-telling, but like his personality,
it's pretty unreliable.
=======================
Cid Highwind
=======================
Job: Pilot
Age: 32
Weapon: Spear
Height: 5' 8"
Birthdate: February 22
Birthplace: Unknown
Blood Type: B
Cid is a tough talking, warm-hearted old pilot who hasn't forgotten his dreams.
There's no better pilot who ever flew either on air or by sea. He believes
someday he'll fly to the ends of the universe. With his hand-made spear and
knowledge of machinery, he throws himself into any attack regardless of the
danger.
=======================
Yuffie Kisaragi
=======================
Job: Materia Hunter (Ninja)
Age: 16
Weapon: Knife, Boomerang, Origami (for throwing)
Height: 5' 2"
Birthdate: November 20
Birthplace: Wutai
Blood Type: A
Although you'd never know if you looked at her, Yuffie comes from a long line
of ninja ancestors. She forced herself into the group just to get a certain
something... She's sneaky, arrogant and "way" selfish. But with her super
shuriken and her special skills, there isn't anyone else you'd rather have on
your side in a fight.
=======================
Vincent Valentine
=======================
Job: Unemployed
Age: 27
Weapon: Gun
Height: 6' 0"
Birthdate: October 13
Birthplace: Unknown
Blood Type: A
A mystical man, stern and upright while at the same time dark and mysterious.
His past connection with Shinra is what made him join Cloud and the others. He
may seem frail at first glance, but hidden inside his body lurks a fearsome
power.
=======================
Sephiroth
=======================
Job: Unemployed, Ex-SOLDIER
Age: Unknown
Weapon: Masamune Blade
Height: Unknown
Birthdate: Unknown
Birthplace: Unknown
Blood Type: Unknown
Little is known about the mighty Sephiroth other than the fact that he was
most likely the strongest fighter on the planet. He was once a member of
SOLDIER, but according to Shinra's newspapers, he was killed. His reappearance
brings Cloud and his friends much trouble...

There's some Materia you can buy in the house with the blue and orange sign
above it.

=======================
Sector 7 Weapons Shop
=======================
Well, there aren't any weapons except for the ASSAULT RIFLE, which we already
have.
However, there's some IRON BANGLEs for sale. Buy 3 and equip them. I'd also
spread out your materia (Cloud - Lightning, Barret - Ice, Tifa - Restore) and
sell your BRONZE BANGLEs.
Head up the stairs.
=======================
Sector 7 Slums
=======================
Re-enter the building.
=======================
Beginner's Hall

You'll get a TITAN BANGLE at the end.
It doesn't matter what you choose while talking.
_Cutscene_
=======================
Sector 5 Slums Church
=======================
Talk to the Flower Girl again. You don't HAVE to, but be nice to her. Don't
call her the slum drunk. Talk to her again.

Now run over to the dude that just walked in. After Aeris says something, go
talk to her again.
=======================
Sector 5 Slums Church Back
=======================
Jump over to where the steps are, then climb them and jump the gap.
We have to save Aeris! Choose to Hold on a minute, then push the barrel

the back middle (N).

You can also steal a little kid's 5 GIL if you're really mean.
When you're done, go through the yellow light beside the green and white bus.

There's a weapons shop here selling some stuff. They have the more powerful
MYTHRIL ARMLETs, a MYTHRIL ROD for Aeris, and a METAL KNUCKLE for Tifa. I'd buy

Run back to the Wall Market.
=======================

Let's go help Aeris. She's in Corneo's West Room.
=======================
Corneo's West Room
=======================
Pick up Aeris and leave.
=======================
Corneo's Mansion
=======================
Re-enter Corneo's Office.
=======================
Corneo's Office
=======================
Go behind the curtain.
=======================
Corneo's Bedroom
=======================
This is where the magic happens. You'll go through the a bunch of talking, then
be faced with these choices:
Because I've given up on life
Because I'm sure I'll win
Because I'm clueless
Well, the correct answer is always #2, but you won't see him again for a while
if you do at all. No matter what you pick, the same thing happens.
=======================
Sector 6 Sewerway
=======================
Check on the girls.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Use that FIRE materia I told you to buy and you should be doin' pretty good.
Aeris' Limit Break heals you and Cloud's and Tifa's Limit Breaks hurt him.
Just attack him and use magic in between Limit Breaks.
At the end you'll get a PHOENIX DOWN. Climb the stairs here and take the
POTION, then climb back down the stairs and climb up the ladder. Run across,
then climb down the ladder, up the stairs and take the STEAL materia. Jump down
the hole at the end.
=======================
Sector 6 Sewerway 2
=======================
Run down the stairs, up where there's no railing, then up the ladder at the
end.
=======================
Train Graveyard
=======================
There's a save point here and a bunch of items. In the barrels you'll find a
HI-POTION and an ECHO SCREEN, and in other areas you'll find a HI-POTION and
2 POTIONs.
To get through here, climb up the first ladder, then run across the train tops
until you run into some weird structure. Jump ontop of it, then run down onto
the ground. Now run under the weird structure and into the train. Then run
down, out, and up the ladder. Now go up to the next ladder, go down it, then
go back into the train. Now go up out of the train, then out of the screen.
If you want to pick up the items, they're not too hard to find, but you'll have
to get them yourself.
=======================
Train Graveyard 2
=======================
Here you can find an ETHER in a barrel and a POTION and HI-POTION in the open.
Run under the overturned train, then into the front car of a train to move it.
When it's finished moving, jump back in again. Then run around the train and
hop into the other train. Then climb up the ladder and jump onto the moving
train. Run across it and climb down the ladder. Then, run out of the screen.
=======================
Sector 7 Train Station
=======================
Run to the other side of the screen.
=======================
Sector 7 Tower Base
=======================
Whoa. That Wedge is supernatural. Head into the caged area and save. Then climb
the stairs.
=======================
Sector 7 Tower
=======================
Talk to Biggs. Then run up ALL the stairs until you come to Jessie. Talk to him
too, then head all the way to the top. Talk to Barret, then give him all the
materia Aeris had.
Then they come.

Just keep attacking. You can destroy the pyramids by directly attacking whoever
it's around. He's only got 1,000 HP, so he's not that hard. After he loses, he
says "It's time" and leaves. You get an ETHER for winning.
Go talk to Tifa!
_Cutscene_
We hafta get outta here! Talk to Tifa, then Barret. Jump on his shoulders.

=======================
Sector 6 Passage
=======================
Run up the wooden ramp and to the rusted thin one. Now run back to the
playground.
=======================
Sector 6 Playground
=======================
Take the SENSE materia and leave.
=======================
Sector 6 Passage
=======================
Run back to the Sector 5 Slums Garbage Area 2.
=======================
Sector 5 Garbage Area 2
=======================
Now go to the next yellow light, which leads to the Sector 5 Slums.
=======================
Sector 5 Slums
=======================
Go to Aeris' Garden.
=======================
Aeris' Garden
=======================
To Aeris' House!
=======================
Aeris' House
=======================
Now you get to witness a BUNCH of talking. When it's done, run upstairs.
=======================
Aeris' House 2F
=======================
Go talk to Barret. Then go back down the stairs.
=======================
Aeris' House
=======================
Leave.
=======================
Aeris' Garden
=======================
Retreat to the Sector 5 Slums.
=======================
Sector 5 Slums
=======================
Go back to the Sector 5 Garbage Area 2.
=======================

=======================
Now go to the Sector 6 Passage.
=======================
Sector 6 Passage
=======================
Make your way back to the Sector 6 Playground.
=======================
Sector 6 Playground
=======================
Now go past the slide to the Sector 6 Garbage Area.
=======================
Sector 6 Garbage Area
=======================
Go up.
=======================
Wall Market
=======================
Go to the northwest to Wall Market 2.
=======================
Wall Market 2
=======================
Go into the Weapons Shop with the MACHINE & GUN sign above the door.
=======================
Wall Market Weapons Shop
=======================
Talk to the man in green clothes for some BATTERIES. :-\. You'll need them.
Leave.
=======================
Wall Market 2
=======================
Follow those kids off screen to see "somethin awesome".
=======================
Bottom of the Wall
=======================
Talk to that kid, then climb the golden shiny wire of hope.
=======================
Middle of the Wall
=======================
Run to the top of the wire, then jump onto the garbage to the left. Run under
the wire and jump over to the socket. Put in a battery.
Hmm. That helps out. Well, actually it does. Run to the top of the reddish
white tube onto the propeller. Then cross and climb up the railroad track. Put
a battery in place, then climb up to where Cloud starts talking.
It took me a while to figure this out, but jump as you're hearing or just after
hearing the SQUEAK. Then climb up the tube.
=======================
Top of the Wall
=======================
Well, you could probably get something special if you get a battery in that
socket, but it's probably no big deal anyway.
Run up the tube, then climb up the wire. After you get to the top, climb down
the wire back onto the tube and run up the tube.
=======================
Outside Shinra H.Q.
=======================
At this point, you have a choice. You can either bust on in or run up enough
stairs to kill 7 goats.
That's a lot of stairs. This walkthrough's going to assume you busted in, but
if you take the stairs, which are to the left, you'll get an ELIXIR, and the
brilliant creators of this game couldn't count too well, so actually there's
probably enough stairs for 90 or 100 floors.
You'll end up at the 59th Floor.
So anyway, run through the front doors!
=======================
1st Floor
=======================
Battle the guards, then run up the stairs to the 2nd Floor.
=======================
2nd Floor
=======================
Run up more stairs.
=======================
3rd Floor
=======================
Run into the elevator.
=======================
H.Q. Elevator 1
=======================
Oh balogna. Just keep stopping the elevator and battling until you get to the
59th Floor.
=======================
59th Floor
=======================
Go fight the soldiers guarding the other elevators. After the battle, you'll
get KEYCARD 60. Now enter the elevator they were guarding.
=======================
H.Q. Elevator 2
=======================
Push the 60" button. Then talk to Barret and Tifa.
_Cutscene_
=======================
60th Floor
=======================
Run out of the security camera's view, then through the red-lighted door.
The trick here is to run from statue to statue either while the guard behind it
is moving or when there's no guard at all behind it. Same thing when signaling
your friends.
If you lose, regardless of where you are, you will have to fight and start all
over. So if you stink at this, you will be at a high level before you make it.
Climb the stairs.
=======================
61st Floor
=======================
There's 2 guys in gray here. One of them will ask you what you're doin. Answer
"..." and he'll think you're from the repair division and give you KEYCARD 62.
Now climb the stairs to the 62nd Floor.
=======================
62nd Floor
=======================
Run to the left and talk to the guy in the room. It's Domino, the mayor of
Midgar. He has a little puzzle for you, and you need to guess the passcode.
It's randomized, so you can either guess it, or follow these instructions to
find out what it is and get his secret prize.
Check the signs outside the libraries. There's:
Scientific Research Library
Urban Dev. Reserach Library
Peace Preservation/Weapon Dev. Research Library
Space Dev. Research Library
Now in each library, there's a file that shouldn't be there. Such as an
economic report in the Peace Preservation/Weapon Dev. Research Library.
There is a number at the beginning of each file name. Look at the number on the
files that don't belong in that library. Match the number with the letters in
the title of the file. If the file start with a 4, then check the fourth letter
and... well, you get the idea.
Then, unscramble the letters and BOOM. The password. Give it to Domino for the
KEYCARD 65 and the ELEMENTAL materia if you got it on your first try. Go up.
=======================
63rd Floor
=======================
Sigh. A puzzle. Here's how to do it.
First, talk to the computer, which will give you the ability to open only 3
doors.
Second, run to the right and all the way to the top. Open this door.
Third, run through the door until you run into another door. Don't open IT,
however, open the door to the south of it. Now you can enter the room with a
red light and take the A COUPON.
Fourth, hop into the air vent. Once in there, go down the other hole that
doesn't lead back to the computer.
Fifth, take the B COUPON and go out the door. Open the door to the left here.
It should give you access to the room with the C COUPON.
Finally, climb back into the air duct and drop down into the room with the
computer.
And there you have it. If you could understand what I was saying, you now have
a STAR PENDANT, FOUR SLOTS, and an ALL materia.
Go up the stairs to the 64th Floor.
=======================
64th Floor
=======================
This is where you can get Cait Sith's best weapon when you re-visit Midgar
toward the end of the game, so don't forget it. There IS a PHOENIX DOWN in an
open locker here, though.
When you're finished, climb the stairs to the 65th floor.
=======================
65th Floor
=======================
GRR. I hate puzzles.
It's not the treasure chest in the room with you now, but you need to find the
unlocked treasure chest. You'll get some MIDGAR PARTS. Then you take them into
the middle room and put them in place. This causes another one to unlock. Do
this over and over until you get KEYCARD 66.
Ascend the stairs.
=======================
66th Floor
=======================
Let's see what's goin on in that meeting. Run to the bathroom in the northwest
corner or the room. Go into the stall.
=======================
H.Q. Bathroom Stall
=======================
Run to the toilet and choose to climb up.
=======================
66th Floor Air Vent
=======================
Check out the lighted vent closest to the camera. After that amazingly exciting
meeting, climb back down into the H.Q. Bathroom Stall.
=======================
H.Q. Bathroom Stall
=======================
Leave.
=======================
66th Floor
=======================
Run back to the stairs. You'll see Hojo. Follow him up the stairs.
=======================
67th Floor
=======================
Run to the left where you'll see Hojo, a strange lab specimen, and Jenova.
This is the point where I fought with the STOOPIDEST enemy ever. It was called
the Warning Board. It's a T.V. with a fist flashing on it. It was so stupid.
Sorry, just had to say that. Now go past all the stuff to the treasure chest,
where you'll get POISON materia. I recommend you save here. Also ride the
elevator up.
=======================
68th Floor
=======================
Go after Hojo. Whoa. A party member. He actually has a real name, but it's
stupid, so just name him Red XIII.

Ignore the little guys, just go for the big guy. The little guys die when you
kill the big guy. He only has 1000 HP, so he's not that bad. Use ice when you
can.
The HO512-opts each have 300 HP. At the end of the battle, you get a TALISMAN.
Assemble your party however you want. Don't forget the ENEMY SKILL materia in
the tank. Now go up the ramp and take the 2 POTIONs. Then talk to the dude in
gray. The loser gives you KEYCARD 68, which helps you almost none.
Follow the man in gray to the end of the hall and take the 2 more POTIONs. Then
go down the steps.
=======================
67th Floor

Down...

Now go to the elevator where the others said they'd be waiting.

H.Q. Elevator 2
=======================
Check the panel. It's okay. It had to happen.
=======================
67th Floor
=======================
Talk to whoever you wish, but all you REALLY need to do is check the door,
check on Aeris, then re-check the door and get some sleep.
Whoa. Go out and check the guard's body. Then wake Tifa up. Now go talk to
Red XIII or Barret. Talk to Barret again. Then talk to Tifa.
Now go to where Red XIII first was. Talk to him, then ride the elevator behind
him.
=======================
68th Floor
=======================
Follow the trail of blood up the stairs.
=======================
69th Floor
=======================
Follow the yellow brick road.
=======================

Go check the President's body. He doesn't have a real name. Now go out to see

How fun.

69th Floor
=======================
YES. REMOVE CLOUD AND TIFA'S MATERIA. You'll get to use it again when you're

You don't have to kill Dark Nation, but if you get tired of his stupid Bolt
attacks, go ahead.
When he says, "Heh, that's all for today", he's done. You get a PROTECT VEST

Re-enter the building.

Run down the stairs.

Talk to Tifa.
Now you're controlling Aeris and friends.

That's one of my fav's.
=======================
Midgar Highway
=======================
You're going to be fighting a boss soon, and you'll be in really low HP if you
don't do good in the mini-game.
This mini-game is EXTREMELY hard on a fast PC. Oh my gosh it goes at the speed
of light. Oh well.
Well, the screen pretty much explains the thing. Some riders take one slash and
others take 2.
At the end, you'll notice a large machine following you. It's a boss.

Ouch...2,600 HP. Seems like Horse-power too.
Use the Bolt. This guy you can attack, too, but he's still got all those HPs.
His armor is twice as weak as the last guy. Also, Ice works better than Fire.
Be sure to cure after his Rolling Fire attack. It hurts!
After the battle, you'll end up outside Midgar, at the gates.
=======================
Midgar Gates
=======================
Try to leave, then say Let's go! Then you'll see the characters choosing a
leader, and it feels like you're watching a show on Nickelodeon. There's always
a moral.
I think Barret would make a great leader. Oh well. Choose your party, but if
you only pick the guys, Aeris and Tifa will call it an "interesting
combination". What do they know anyway?
Heh. Funny. If you put yourself with the girls, Barret says "Thought you'd do
that." What do you expect? He's young and single.
Leave.
=======================
World Map
=======================
Make your way northeast to the dot on the map. It's Kalm. Be prepared for a
very long, very boring flashback.
=======================
Kalm
=======================
Here's some stuff you might want to buy:
EARTH materia
MYTRHIL SABER
and depending on your 2 favorite other characters:
CANNON BALL
MYTHRIL CLAW
FULL METAL STAFF
Red XIII doesn't have a new weapon just yet.
After you're finished buying what you want, head into the inn your friends went
into.
=======================
Kalm Inn 1F
=======================
Head upstairs.
=======================
Kalm Inn 2F
=======================
Talk to Barret. Hey, I'll give you a hint on the story. Well, no I won't.
You get to fight a monster. You can only attack or use items...hmm...it looks
like you can use the items you have NOW. That's weird.
=======================

Run past Sephiroth into the main city.
Go into the house with double doors to the right.
=======================
Tifa's House 1F
=======================
Go upstairs.
=======================
Tifa's House 2F
=======================
Go into Tifa's room and play the piano. Choose "Just a little..." Normally,
you'd have to remember this stuff, but I'll remind you later.
Do..Re..Mi..Ti..La..Do..Re..Mi..So..Fa..Do..Re..Do..Forget it...
Now go back down the stairs.

Now you can see all of Sephiroth's gear. ALL that mastered materia...
Go to the right, up the path and into the cave.

Mako Cave
=======================
Run to the exit at the other side.
=======================
Mt. Nibel Reactor Area
=======================
Run into the reactor.
=======================
Mt. Nibel Reactor
=======================
Run along the pipes, then onto the board, and onto the chains. Then climb down
and enter the hole Sephiroth did.
=======================
Mt. Nibel Jenova Room
=======================
Run up the stairs and talk to Sephiroth. Then close the valve Sephiroth
specified. Talk to Sephiroth twice. Now you get to see a dude that looks like
one of my friends.
_Cutscene_
That's kinda gross and it doesn't show up when you come here later.
=======================
Kalm Inn 2F
=======================
Save and rest. You don't wanna have to sit through THAT again.

Run all the way to the bottom.

Kalm
=======================
Make sure you have at least 2000 GIL.
Leave.
=======================
World Map
=======================
If you couldn't get to 2000 GIL, run around and do some battles.
Go southeast to the next dot. It's the Chocobo Ranch.
=======================
Chocobo Ranch
=======================
Talk to the chocobo closest to you. Choose Wark, not Warrrk. You'll see a very
interesting dance and get the CHOCO/MOG summon materia. Woo! Your first!
Now go into the barn in the back of the area.
=======================
Chocobo Barn
=======================
Go talk to the kid. It's Choco Billy! When he asks you, buy the CHOCOBO LURE
materia. Then when you can buy greens from him, buy 2-5 of the cheapest kind,
the GYSAHL GREENS.
Now equip your CHOCOBO LURE materia and leave.
=======================
Chocobo Ranch
=======================
Leave.
=======================
World Map
=======================
Keep running around on the chocobo tracks until you get in a battle. Once in
the battle, throw the Chocobo some of your GYSAHL GREENS and fight off the bad
guys. If you kill the bad guys and the Chocobo's still there, you've captured a
Chocobo!
After you catch one, head to the marshes to the west of the ranch. The Midgar
Zolom lives here, and he'll eat you alive if you're not fast enough to avoid
him. Try to just run into the marshes avoiding any moving shadows. You probably
won't have any trouble. Just get to the grassy place on the other side and
dismount from your Chocobo. Run into the cave.
=======================
Midgar Zolom Death Site
=======================
Ewww. Leave.
=======================
World Map
=======================
Enter the cave.
=======================
Turks Cave
=======================
None of the items here are necessary, but here's how to get them.
From the entrance, go right to the end. You'll find an ETHER and a TENT. Then
head back to the entrance and go left. At the fork, go to Cloud's left. Open
the treasure chest, there's a MIND SOURCE inside. Continue down the path the
other way and through the hole.
=======================
Turks Cave 2
=======================
After the talking, you can head through the entryway in the middle of the
screen for an ELIXIR and a HI-POTION. When you're done, follow Rude out of the
cave.
=======================
World Map
=======================
On this side of the mountains, there is Fort Condor and Junon Harbor. If you go
to Fort Condor NOW and give them a bunch of money, you can play a mini-game.
However, I suggest you go straight to the dot west of you on the map. That's
Junon.
NOTE: It IS possible to get Yuffie in the woods around here. If you fight her,
beat her up, then she'll ask you some questions. You have to answer them all
correctly to get her to come with you. Here's the questions and the correct
answers:
DON'T GO TO THE SAVE POINT OR ACCESS THE MENU.
Q: One more time, let's go one more time!
A: Not interested.
Q: You're pretty scared of me, huh?!
A: Petrified...
Q: I'm gonna leave! I mean it!
A: Wait a second!
Q: So you want me to go with you?
A: That's right
Q: All right! I'll go with you!
A: Let's hurry
That should do it. You may have to fight a bunch of times to find her, though..
Anyway, head to Junon. Save just outside of it.
=======================
Junon Town
=======================
Run down the stairs at the bottom-left corner of the town.

Use any materia you have with an ALL with it especially when he puts a bubble

He's not too hard, and he gets washed away in his Big Wave attack.
After the battle, you have to perform CPR. It's not that hard. Push the button
that game tells you to, then push it again when the mark gets close to the top.
Just do that 4 or 5 times and she should be fine. I thought you had to pound on
their chest or something?
Oh well. She's okay.
=======================
Junon Town
=======================
Go talk to the old lady in front of the house by the entrance.
=======================
Junon Lady's House
=======================
When you get the chance, agree to rest.
Regardless of who was in your party, you'll find yourself with Tifa and hearing
repetitive joyful music.
Sounds like Tifa's hiding something. Leave.
=======================
Junon Town
=======================
Run up the stairs your friends are huddled around. You'll see Priscilla, who
gives you SHIVA summon materia. Woo!
Shiva's an Ice-type. Follow Priscilla.
=======================
Mr. Dolphin Beach
=======================
Talk to Priscilla.
This has to be the most *tedious* and annoying mini-game in the entire game.
You have to align yourself so that when Mr. Dolphin jumps, he takes you on top
of the pole coming off of the tower. Grr.
* = Big word.
However, I have figured out the secret, and am willing to share it with you.
Here's the tower and the pole.
T|
O|----------------
W| Pole+
E|---X------------
R|
Go about right there, with your feet being X and your head under the pole where
you can't see it.
Ha! Blow the whistle to show Mr. Dolphin who's the man.
Then climb up the high voltage tower.
=======================
Junon Airport
=======================
_Cutscene_
Wow. Maybe someday you'll get to ride in the Highwind.
Head toward the camera. Then when the view changes, run onto the large elevator
and push the button. Woo! Cheery music!
The door you need to get to is under that canopy coming out of the large
canopy. Go there.
=======================
Junon Airport Path
=======================
Go ahead and go into the room the soldier told you to.
=======================
Junon Locker Room
=======================
Check the slightly open locker and choose to change.
Here's the lyrics for the song, in case you're extremely bored and have no
sense of rhythm:
Rufus---
Rufus Shinra----
We---are---Shinra Company----
The new---President----
Oh---Oh----
Shinra---
Oh---Oh oh----
Shinra, Inc.---
Realization---of the new era
New----President Ru---fus---
Oh---Oh----
Shinra---
Oh---Oh oh----
Shinra, Inc.---
Building---the new era---
Shinra---forev--er---
Say Got it!
Basically all you have to remember is how to shoulder your gun, which is
SQUARE/OK.
Leave.
=======================
Junon Airport Path
=======================
Follow the guys out.
=======================
Junon 2nd Street
=======================
Follow the soldiers into the alley.
=======================
Junon Main Street
=======================
The better you are, the better the TV ratings get.
If you're good, they'll send you POTIONs. If not, they'll send you a GRENADE.
Good luck!
After that, you'll see President Rufus and Heidegger. It won't let you move.
Eventually, the dude in maroon will ask you a question, but the answers aren't
too great. It doesn't matter what you pick, you'll still end up in the locker
room.
=======================
Junon Locker Room
=======================
Here, you are told about the show for President Rufus. Try hard, you'll get a
FORCE STEALER if you do any good (that's a new sword for Cloud).
You press whatever buttons it tells you, and left/right. It's not too hard, but
if you get it right, Rufus' mood will go up 10 points.
Leave when you're done.
=======================
Junon Airport Path
=======================
Follow them out.
=======================
Junon 2nd Street
=======================
Run down the street, past that thing Rufus and Heidegger got on.
=======================
Underwater Reactor Tunnel
=======================
Go out the exit in front of you.
=======================
Junon Dock Street
=======================
Run to the end.
=======================
Junon Dock
=======================
Alright. Show your stuff! The special ending doesn't really work if you're
facing the wrong way, due to the fact that the game won't let you turn around.
Hehe. After the showing you can't move, but if you push the right buttons, you
can:
Shrug your shoulders
Put your hand on your waist
Scratch your back with your gun
After the loser leaves, board the boat.
=======================
Cargo Area
=======================
You need to talk to all of your undercover friends. Down here, you'll find
Yuffie (if you have her) and Aeris. You'll also find an ETHER and an ALL
materia.
Talk to your friends down here, then go up the stairs.
=======================
Main Deck
=======================
That's Tifa up there lookin' around. Talk to her, then run to the other end of
the boat. You'll find Red XIII dancing around like an idiot.
Talk to him, too, then head back down the stairs.
=======================
Cargo Area
=======================
Talk to Aeris again. Now we have to find Barret. Go up the stairs.
=======================
Main Deck
=======================
Head back towards Red XIII, except don't go up the ladder and keep going.
Talk to Barret twice. Then go back toward Tifa.
Assemble your party, buy a drink from the seaman, then head down the stairs.
=======================
Cargo Area
=======================
Go through the door formerly guarded by a soldier.
=======================
Engine Room
=======================
Climb up the ladder here, then run around the platform and take the WIND SLASH
from the treasure chest. It's a weapon for Yuffie.
Now climb back down and talk to the man in maroon clothes.
Well, at least it's not Sephiroth.

Just keep attacking and curing. His laser shooting attack will probably give
you a Limit Break in one hit. Sweet.
Watch out for his Tail Laser attack, which hurts all of your party.
He's not too hard. Just don't use poison, it has no effect on him.
After the battle, you'll get a WHITE CAPE and some IFRIT summon materia will be
right in front of you. Follow the others out.
=======================
Costa Del Sol Dock
=======================
After the talking, run up the stairs.
=======================
Costa Del Sol
=======================
If you don't have Red XIII in your party, you can kick him with a soccer ball.
Cool.
Barret can be found in the Inn in his sailor suit. ;-).
Enter the building with "Costa del Sol" beside it, then go downstairs. You'll
find a POWER SOURCE and a FIRE RING.
There's a guy in the corner of the Bar you should talk to. He's selling some
PLATINUM BANGLEs that you should buy.
There's also a guy selling materia at what looks like a lemonade stand.
When you're finished buying, go down the stairs at the far side of the town.
=======================
Costa del Sol Beach
=======================
Heh. I always choose "That girl in the bikini?" just for the fun of it.
Go talk to Hojo. Then leave.
=======================
Costa del Sol
=======================
Leave.

World Map
=======================
Go west until you run into a cliff, then run around and on top of it. Go
northwest until you find a dirt road. Follow it to the cave at the end.
=======================
Corel Mountain Pass
=======================
Talk to the man here, then continue past him.
NOTE: You may encounter some Needle Kisses on the way. They travel in groups
and are immune to Lightning attacks. They are, however, a great source of EXP.
=======================
Corel Reactor
=======================
Run down the stairs onto the railroad tracks, then run along the railroad
tracks out of the screen.
=======================
Railroad Tracks
=======================
Run down the tracks until the screen changes.
Now on this raiilroad track, the track could fall out from under you. There's
some items you can get, but falling is really annoying, so just push SQUARE/OK
quickly.
Alright. Run until you can go up or down, and go up. At the end, take the
W MACHINE GUN and head back to the UP/DOWN fork. This time go down.
When you come to another junction, go up. Take the TURBO ETHER and TRANSFORM
materia. Then go back and to the next junction. Go up and to the end.
=======================
Railroad Bridge
=======================
Run past your friends to the wooden box. Choose to "do it". Then run out of the
box and further down the track. You'll hear some chirping. Climb up the wall.
How cute. If you take their treasure, which is 10 PHOENIX DOWNs, you'll have to
fight one of those big birds usually behind the 3 hard tiny birds.
Now head back the way you came to the end.
=======================
Railroad Tracks
=======================
Now go down at the last junction.
=======================
Railroad Bridge
=======================
Now run across the bridge you just lowered to the end.
=======================
Corel Bridge
=======================
Here you may encounter an enemy called simply "Bomb". Just run if you encounter
this bad boy.
=======================
Corel
=======================
If Barret's in your party, go talk to him. If not, run up to the man in blue.
The only thing here you want to buy is some CARBON BANGLEs from the fat man.
Make sure you have at least 3000 GIL, then run to the left past the Gold Saucer
sign.
=======================
Tram Station
=======================
Run up the stairs to your friends. When you get asked, decide to board the
tram.
What a sad story.
_Cutscene_
=======================
Gold Saucer Entrance
=======================
Talk to the lady at the entrance. You can buy a single pass for 3000 GIL or a
lifetime pass for 30000 GIL. You probably only have enough for the cheaper one,
so don't feel bad.
=======================
Station Square
=======================
Talk to whoever you want to go with, then head to Wonder Square.
=======================
Wonder Square
=======================
Yay! Someone you can name. However, trust me, this guy's a loser. If you're
like me, you'll NEVER put him in your party again.
When he's finished being his loser self, he'll be in your party. Head to
Battle Square.
=======================
Corel Prison
=======================
Follow Barret to the next screen, then save at the save point if you're bored.
Go into the house here.

=======================
Man. I hate flashbacks. Leave the way you came in.

Go south into the big truck.

Mr. Coates' Room
=======================
Talk to Mr. Coates and leave.
=======================
Corel Prison
=======================
Go back to where you first were to notice that the guy guarding the gate has
been shot. Run through the gate and over the hill. Once the screen changes, run
through the fence to the other side of the screen.
NOTE: You may want to make sure Barret has all your good materia, he'll be
fighting a boss one-on-one.
When you can see the cars, follow the path to the top of the screen.

Use your Limit Breaks! They take away about 350 each, so it shouldn't last too
long. Just heal whenever you get to 300 HP or less. He'll go down on his last
Molotov Cocktail.
After you beat him, you'll get something of his and a SILVER ARMLET.
=======================
Chocobo Registration Room
=======================
When you get the chance, take the RAMUH summon materia from beside the table.
Then wait for Ester to come back.
Good luck racing! If you have the PC version, you can hold down 1 & 3 to slowly
regain energy. ;-)
If you win, you'll find yourself on the
=======================
World Map
=======================
NOTE: If at this point you're crazy enough to try to level Aeris up enough to
get her Level 4 Limit Break (you probably won't get Cloud's or anyone else's),
you should hitch a ride on the boat at Costa del Sol. With the buggy on the
other continent, you can cross the river beyond the forest which leads you to a
cave. The man inside will give you MYTHRIL. Then you will need to go back to
the other continent and find a house. As soon as you cross the river south of
the Corel Prison, go east. Give the MYTHRIL to the man in the house and he'll
give you Aeris' Level 4 Limit Break.
DON'T DO THAT! It's a waste of time. You'll have to level up Aeris higher than
I am when I fight the boss of the game anyway.
Now go south past the river to Gongaga like Dio said. It looks like a large
tree stump.
=======================
Gongaga Pathway
=======================
Go forward until you hear the Turks. That's a pretty lame joke. Go talk to
them.
It's not playing the boss music, but...

These guys aren't too hard. Use up any magic with ALLs first. As always, Poison
is a good idea. Just use Limit Breaks, revive anyone who's down and cure anyone
who's low in HP.
You'll get a FAIRY TALE for winning. It's a weapon for Aeris.
Go to the upper-right.
When the screen changes, run to the blown-up reactor.
=======================
Gongaga Reactor
=======================
Run to the other end. After the loser crew leaves, check where Scarlet was
looking for the TITAN summon materia. Leave.
=======================
Gongaga Pathway
=======================
Run back to where you battled the Turks, then run past it. After the screen
changes, run under the log. If you go right at the fork, you'll get to Main
Gongaga, which doesn't contain very much. You can go into Zack's Parents'
House, where Zack's parents will ask you where he is. That's about it.
So go left. Take the DEATHBLOW materia and continue out.
=======================
World Map
=======================
Now go west. This is where I recommend that you run in the forests and get
Yuffie. First, you'll fight her. Then after you win, you'll get choices.
Here, again, are the correct answers:
DON'T GO TO THE SAVE POINT OR ACCESS THE MENU.
Q: One more time, let's go one more time!
A: Not interested.
Q: You're pretty scared of me, huh?!
A: Petrified...
Q: I'm gonna leave! I mean it!
A: Wait a second!
Q: So you want me to go with you?
A: That's right
Q: All right! I'll go with you!
A: Let's hurry
That should do it. You may have to fight a bunch of times to find her, though.
When you're finished, go west until you run into the ocean. Then go north until
you cross the river. Navigate yourself through the canyon until you come to a
city. If you try to go past it, your buggy will break down. So just stop there
and enter the city.
=======================
Cosmo Canyon
=======================
Talk to the man under the sign. Choose No. Then run up the stairs and talk to
Red XIII. Follow your friends into the Weapons Shop.
=======================
Cosmo Weapons Shop
=======================
Woo! Weapons for everyone! And SILVER ARMLETs! Buy weapons for your main party
and head up the stairs and outside.

Go up the stairs and through the entryway.

There's a materia shop here.
Climb up the ladder here.

I'm sure you haven't figured this out, but this room is actually the entrance
to a secret tunnel.
Go talk to Bugenhagen.
=======================
Cosmo Ladder Area
=======================
Climb down all the chutes and ladders ;-) to the hole at the bottom.
=======================
Secret Tunnel
=======================
Here you'll find yourself in a BUNCH of battles. There aren't any items you can
get YET, but there's a bunch of weird-shaped rocks you can break open. The only
one your REALLY NEED to break open is the odd shaped one. It's the one in the
3rd cave.
After you're finished, go through the cave that opened due to you breaking the
rock.
=======================
Slippery Tunnel
=======================
See that brown stuff in the upper-left corner of the screen? If you run on it,
you won't be able to stop until you hit some spikes. Yes, it hurts.
Go across the brown stuff and head down.
=======================
Secret Tunnel
=======================
Take the ADDED EFFECT materia and go back.
=======================
Slippery Tunnel
=======================
Go back to the path on the right side of the screen. Head up, then when you see
a small stairway leading down, go down it.
Once down here, continue down the left pathway for a BLACK M-PHONE. Then go to
the end of the upper-right pathway for an ETHER.
Now go back up the stairs and go through the way in the upper-left corner of
the screen.
=======================
5-Way Cave
=======================
Alright. From left to right, caves 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
1 leads to 5.
2 leads to the place you need to go.
3 leads to a dead end.
4 leads to a Stinger and an X-POTION.
5 leads to 1.
Caves 2 & 4 both lead to spider webs. At them, you'll fight Stingers. They're
big spiders with 2200 HP. They're not too hard and it doesn't play boss music,
but they're definitely worth listing.
To get a FAIRY RING, go through cave 2, then go through the cave at the bottom
left corner. Hold down and right and you'll end up on the same ledge as that
treasure chest. The FAIRY RING is inside.
When you're finished, go through the second spider web. You'll have to fight
another Stinger. After you destroy him, run past him but hug the left wall.
Eventually, you'll go down a path you didn't see before. You'll get to a
treasure chest with a TURBO ETHER.
Now go through the hole in the top part of the screen.

Wait....what the heck is Holy power?
Well, when you bring someone back to life, that's kinda holy. So...
It's kinda a secret, but use PHOENIX DOWNs. You may have to beat him in a
little before they start working, but you should definitely use them.
His little firey friends can use ONLY Fire2. It heals them, but they can enter
one of your friends' body and use Fire2. If you don't have the FIRE RING or
some other protective accessory or armlet, it will hurt. However, they do have
limited MP and will eventually not be able to do anything.
The big guy is pretty weak. Keep attacking with magic and physical attacks.
That is, if you're out of PHOENIX DOWNs or something.
You'll get a WIZER STAFF for winning.
After the battle, take the GRAVITY materia and head out of the cave.

Whoa.
NOTE: There's a bunch of people in black capes here. Some of them have items.
There's a guy by a furnace in Tifa's house that will give you a TURBO ETHER, a
guy in the southeastern-most house on the second floor that'll give you a
LUCK SOURCE, another dude in the General Store with an ELIXIR, and finally, a
man outside the Shinra Mansion who will give you a MIND PLUS.
You can run around talking to people here, but they'll all say the town never
burnt down.
Enter the Shinra Mansion when you're done.
=======================
Shinra Mansion
=======================
NOTE: This is where you can get the second secret character, Vincent Valentine.
Although his last name isn't too great, he's really cool-lookin. If you check
the note on the left side of the room, it'll say there's 4 numbers in the
combination to a safe containing the key to get to the person whoever wrote
this put to sleep.
HINT #1:
The lid of the box with the most oxygen.
HINT #2:
Behind the Ivory's short of tea and ray.
HINT #3:
The creek in the floor near the chair on the second floor...
then to the left five steps, up nine steps, left two steps, and up six steps.
HINT #4:
Huh? I thought there were 4 numbers. It's invisible. The hint is:
The fourth row has been written in invisible ink. Dial (4) is (Right 97)
Alright. So the 4th number is 97.
This from kailvamp11:
"You open a chest on the third or second floor I cant remember but anyways the
number is written on the lid of the chest it is in a room with many plants".
So yeah. The number is 36.
Okay. Now if you go through the doorway to the left of the stairs, you'll find
a piano. Hey...Behind the Ivory's short of tea and ray. Check behind the piano.
BOOM! (Left 10) written on the floor.
If you actually follow HINT #3, you'll get to (Right 59).
So the entire passcode is:
36, 10, 59, 97.
If you go up the stairs to the West Shinra Mansion, you'll find a safe. Type in
the combination in 20 seconds to unlock it. You'll have to fight a rather
challenging boss, though, so you might want to save first.

That's right. I recommend that you level up to Lv. 30 before taking him on. He
has no weaknesses and no strengths. He's just really strong.
After a while, he changes colors. If you had previously been using a lot of
magic, use physical attacks. If you had been using physical attacks, use magic.
When he dies, you'll get the COSMO MEMORY, Red XIII's Lv. 4 Limit Break. You'll
also get ODIN summon materia and the KEY TO THE BASEMENT.
After you beat him, go to the mansion and unlock the door you passed in Cloud's
flashback. Select the coffin. It'll open and Vincent will talk to you. When you
get the choice, talk about Sephiroth. Keep trying to talk to him until he says
"Let me be alone". Then leave and try to go up the stairs. Vincent will come
out and decide to join you.
NOTE: In the West Shinra Mansion, there's also a treasure chest that contains
the ENEMY LAUNCHER, a weapon for Barret. In the East Shinra Mansion, there's a

FIGHT ALL OF THE BATTLES YOU GET INTO. Well, if you have Vincent then you don't
need to, but otherwise fight them! They're a good source of EXP and the next
boss is pretty hard.
Run along the path until you get a chance to go up. Go up until you come to the
treasure chest. Inside, you'll find a RUNE BLADE.
Climb back down and go to the bridge.
NOTE: If you go the way Cloud and Sephiroth went in the flashback, you can get
a SNIPER CR and some ELEMENTAL materia. The SNIPER CR is a stinky but accurate
weapon for Vincent.

Pipe #3: The level above the lowest level.

He's actually pretty hard. Poison him to start out with and watch out for the
Hell Combo.
Use the Ice-type SHIVA when you can, and use Ice2 as often as possible. Limit
Breaks help out as well.
After you get him low in HP, he starts using Cure2 and Trine. Trine is very
painful and hurts the entire party. It is an enemy skill, though, so if you
survive it with the ENEMY SKILL materia equipped, you can use it against him.
He doesn't take long after he uses Trine, though. Especially if you've poisoned
him. The poison hurts him 250 every turn, so it's not that bad.
After you kick his hiney, take the COUNTER materia he dropped. I'd equip it
now.

use any of it, but hey, maybe you do.
When you're finished, go into the house closest to the rocket.
=======================
Shera's House
=======================
Take the DRILL ARM from the treasure chest, then head out the back door.
=======================
Tiny Bronco Area
=======================
Head back into the house.
=======================
Shera's House
=======================
Go out the front door.
=======================
Rocket Town
=======================
Head toward the rocket.
=======================
Rocket Launch Pad
=======================
Go up and down the stairs until you come to a large set of stairs. Go up them,
then up the ladder, then into the rocket.
=======================
Shinra No. 26
=======================
Talk to the man in blue.
Woo! A named character! It's Cid, who's power is only surpassed by the number
of bad words he can say in one minute. Ha. And you thought Barret was a potty
mouth.
When you get the choices, ask about the rocket. Then leave.
=======================
Rocket Launch Pad
=======================
Head back to the main part of the town.
=======================
Rocket Town
=======================
Go into Shera's House.
=======================
Shera's House
=======================
Run to the other side.
I guess Squaresoft really likes to make people mad at each other without good
reason. The people at Corel, and now Cid and Shera.
_Cutscene_
Go out the front door.
Well, let's go after Palmer! Out the back door and be prepared for the fight of
your life!
=======================
Tiny Bronco Area
=======================
Hey wait...Broncos don't fly!
Go talk to Palmer.

I could beat this guy in my sleep. Just keep attacking and heal if you
accidentally hurt yourself or something.
When he bends over to show you his better side, hit him harder.
He leaves after you kick his butt. Then he gets hit by a truck...in Shera's
back yard. You get an EDINCOAT for winning.
QUICK! Get on the non-moving, but taking-off Tiny Bronco!
_Cutscene_
Yaknow, maybe someone should get in the cockpit?
_Cutscene_
Oh great. Broncos can't swim either. Now is when I recommend that you complete
Yuffie's Sub-Quest, so that's what we're going to do now before we go to the
Temple of Ancients.
If you don't want to do Yuffie's Sub-Quest, press Ctrl+F to bring up the search
function of your browser, and type in "peanuts". It'll take you to the place
where Yuffie's Sub-Quest ends.
So go just a little southwest and get off onto that brown continent.
Once off the plane, go north. At the top of a mountain, Yuffie will take your
materia and get you in a fight with Shinra soldiers.
Grrr. I don't like her. Head north after the battle.
Go across the 2 bridges, then head south, then east, then north under the
bridge. Then go across the next bridge and up to Wutai, which happens to be the
place Aeris' non-biological mom's husband was sent.
Enter Wutai.
=======================
Wutai
=======================
Go into the building beside the save point.
=======================
Item Shop
=======================
Open the treasure chest for MP ABSORB materia! Woo!
CRAP!
Follow her!
=======================
Wutai
=======================
Now go into the building closest to the entrance.
=======================
Wutai Residence
=======================
MORE weirdos? Well...where's the other weirdos?
Check the divider. HA! Grr. Follow her out.
=======================
Wutai
=======================
Where could that loser be?
Hmm. Go all the way to the left side of the screen. Hey...that pot's moving!
Check it! Punch it 3 times.
=======================
Wutai Residence 2
=======================
Follow Yuffie downstairs.
Talk to her. Choose whichever lever you want. It yields the same outcome.
Leave.
=======================
Wutai
=======================
Now go up the path in the northwest corner of the town.
=======================
Battle Tower Courtyard
=======================
Go through the doorway on the left and pull that stick. It reveals some doors.
Go in them.
=======================
Wutai Secret Room
=======================
Oh great. Don Corneo. In the treasure chests you'll find a SWIFT BOLT and an
ELIXIR. Head up the stairs.
=======================
Yuffie's House
=======================
Go to the southeastern room and open the secret door. Go through to find a
treasure chest. Inside is a HAIRPIN. How helpful. It's a long range weapon for
Red XIII.
Leave out the front door.
=======================
Battle Tower Courtyard
=======================
Talk to Reno. Follow him away.
=======================
Wutai
=======================
NOTE: At this point, you should stock up on FIRE VEILs and SWIFT BOLTs at the
Item Shop. Just because you don't have materia doesn't mean you can't use
magic!
Run to the save point, then go northeast until the screen changes.
=======================
Da-Chao Path
=======================
Go north until the screen changes.
Then go up and around the head until the screen changes.
Go into the cave you can see toward the top of the screen.
=======================
Firey Cave
=======================
There's a DRAGOON LANCE in the green chest. Remember this place, as it will be
of some use to you after you acquire the LEVIATHAN SCALES.
Leave the way you came in.
=======================
Da-Chao Path
=======================
Go to the end of the path to the southwest.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
This guy's actually pretty hard.
Start out with Barret's Mindblow Limit Break. That keeps him from using his
powerful 1500 HP Aero3 attack.
Just keep using your SWIFT BOLTs and FIRE VEILs.
Use X-POTIONs when you get low, and that should just about do it.
As long as you take away his MP at the beginning, he's not hard. You get a
PEACE RING for winning.
Corneo asks you a question, giving you these choices:
1 Because he's ready to die.
2 Because he's sure to win.
3 Because he's clueless.
It's always #2!
Well, I guess when you're dealing with the Turks, it's:
4 Because it's our job.
And that's Yuffie's sub-quest. You might want to try to work your way up the
Battle Tower. However, I recommend that Yuffie is in Level 30 before you try
it. Come back later when you have the LEVIATHAN SCALES.
=======================
World Map
=======================
Head south, back to the Tiny Bronco. Get on.
I like peanuts.
Those of you joining us from Rocket Town, we're going to find the Temple of the
Ancients.
The Temple of the Ancients is the dot at the bottom of the map, toward the
middle. However, you'll need the KEYSTONE to get in, and the man who has it
resides in the Gold Saucer. That's right. Dio.
There's no way there for the Tiny Bronco, so find your way back to the Buggy.
You may want to try to get Vincent now, since you're in the Nibelheim area.
Here's the "getting Vincent" information:
NOTE: This is where you can get the second secret character, Vincent Valentine.
Although his last name isn't too great, he's really cool-lookin. If you check
the note on the left side of the room, it'll say there's 4 numbers in the
combination to a safe containing the key to get to the person whoever wrote
this put to sleep.
HINT #1:
The lid of the box with the most oxygen.
HINT #2:
Behind the Ivory's short of tea and ray.
HINT #3:
The creek in the floor near the chair on the second floor...
then to the left five steps, up nine steps, left two steps, and up six steps.
HINT #4:
Huh? I thought there were 4 numbers. It's invisible. The hint is:
The fourth row has been written in invisible ink. Dial (4) is (Right 97)
Alright. So the 4th number is 97.
This from kailvamp11:
"You open a chest on the third or second floor I cant remember but anyways the
number is written on the lid of the chest it is in a room with many plants".
So yeah. The number is 36.
Okay. Now if you go through the doorway to the left of the stairs, you'll find
a piano. Hey...Behind the Ivory's short of tea and ray. Check behind the piano.
BOOM! (Left 10) written on the floor.
If you actually follow HINT #3, you'll get to (Right 59).
So the entire passcode is:
36, 10, 59, 97.
If you go up the stairs to the West Shinra Mansion, you'll find a safe. Type in
the combination in 20 seconds to unlock it. You'll have to fight a rather
challenging boss, though, so you might want to save first.

That's right. I recommend that you level up to Lv. 30 before taking him on. He
has no weaknesses and no strengths. He's just really strong.
If he changes to a different color, try attacking without using magic.
When he dies, you'll get the COSMO MEMORY, Red XIII's Lv. 4 Limit Break. You'll
also get ODIN summon materia and the KEY TO THE BASEMENT.
After you beat him, go to the mansion and unlock the door you passed in Cloud's
flashback. Select the coffin. It'll open and Vincent will talk to you. When you
get the choice, talk about Sephiroth. Keep trying to talk to him until he says
"Let me be alone". Then leave and try to go up the stairs. Vincent will come
out and decide to join you.
Once on the Buggy, make your way back to Corel, located north of the giant
sand pit to the east.
=======================
Corel
=======================
Head west to the Tram Station.

Dio's Show Room
=======================
Check that spinning egg.
Choose What do I gotta do? when you get the chance.
Good luck. It's fully-randomized. Battle until you can't battle any more.
Regardless of how good you do, you get the KEYSTONE. If you do good, though,
Dio will throw in some extra items. Leave when you're done.
=======================
Battle Square
=======================
Head back to Station Square.
=======================
Station Square
=======================
Go out.
=======================
Gold Saucer Entrance
=======================
Talk to the man in front of the tram. Pfft. Hope there's not a fire.
=======================
Hotel Square
=======================
Just stay away from Barret...he's got the Cetra.
=======================
Event Square
=======================
You get to act out in a play. It's not hard to figure out what you're SUPPOSED
to do, but hey, it's fun to mess things up.
If you do good, you'll get to kiss her.
If you do bad, you'll get slapped. Hard.
Wow. How realistic can a game get?
=======================
Round Square
=======================
Man. And it's boring too. The developers at Squaresoft must have been on dates
before.
Push the correct directional button to see what Aeris is looking at.

Wow. She doesn't make sense either. The people at Squaresoft are brilliant.

=======================
World Map
=======================
Alright. Now let's go to the Temple of the Ancients. As mentioned before, it's
the dot in the bottom middle.
To get there, you need to first get back to the Tiny Bronco. Then you need to
head north up above the middle-western continent, then head east all the way
around the eastern continent. After you head south around the tip of the east
island, you should be heading toward Fort Condor.
Finally, go west around the islands to that dot we mentioned earlier. Get off
the Tiny Bronco and walk to the Temple.
=======================
Temple Courtyard
=======================
Run up the stairs in front of you. Check that dude's body too.
=======================
Temple Entrance
=======================
Hmm. With enemies like that, who needs friends?
Put the KEYSTONE in place.
I think they could have thought of something better than floating through the
floor.
=======================
Temple Maze
=======================
Woo. Looks like fun, eh?
I'm going to guide you through this. Try not to get lost.
Run up the short steps in front of you.
Go down the ramp.
Climb down the vines.
Open the treasure chest for a TRIDENT.
Run down the stairs, climb up the vines.
Run up the stairs and take the TURBO ETHER.
Climb up the vines here, then take the MIND SOURCE.
Go down the stairs and through the doorway.
=======================
Nyum Nyum's Room
=======================
Hey. I couldn't think of anything else. There's a SILVER RIFLE in the chest.
Talk to the weird man for a lecture. Then you can buy stuff from him, rest, or
save your game.
Well, you can sell him stuff, too, but what would he need your stuff for?
Yep. Back to the maze.
=======================
Temple Maze
=======================
Go up the stairs and down the vines.
Go down through the doorway.
Go down the huge stairway.
Go through the doorway and down the steps.
Climb down the vines.
Take the ROCKET PUNCH, Barret's coolest looking weapon, from the chest.
Go down the stairs and up the vines.
Go up the stairs, through the doorway, and down the stairs.
Climb the vines and take the LUCK PLUS, then climb back down.
Go up the stairs, through the doorway, and down the stairs.
Go through the doorway, then through the next doorway.
We'll get that other chest later.
=======================
Boulder Passage
=======================
Alright. All those boulders have one little nook in them that if you are in
that nook, you won't be crushed. Use that to your advantage. If you DO get
crushed, you'll be sent back to the beginning.
After you get to the pool, your point where you go when you're crushed is
changed to there. Continue to the end where the boulders stop.
When you get to the end, Aeris will have you return to the pool. After her
talking, take the MORPH materia and head to the end you haven't been through
yet. The Nyum Nyum guy's there, too.
=======================
Clock Room
=======================
This room is NOT fun.
Here's the rooms and where they lead.
1 - A treasure chest containing a battle with a Jemnezmy and 2 Frogs.
2 - Blocked.
3 - A treasure chest containing a battle with 2 "8 eye a"s. They're hard.
4 - A treasure chest containing the PRINCESS GUARD, Aeris' ultimate weapon.
5 - That treasure chest in the Temple Maze, contains a RIBBON.
6 - Go here to progress.
7 - A treasure chest containing the TRUMPET SHELL, a weapon for Cait Sith.
8 - A treasure chest containing a MEGALIXIR.
9 - Blocked.
10- Where you came in.
11- Blocked.
12- Dead end for now.
If you get bored, you might want to get knocked off one of the hands by the
second hand. You'll have to fight 2 Ancient Dragons. They have 2400 HP and are
pretty powerful. They're weak against wind.
The ODIN summon seems to work pretty well on these bad boys. You get 1600 EXP
for winning.
There's also a treasure chest down here containing the NAIL BAT, a weapon for
Cloud. It's extremely powerful, but has no materia slots. It's good if you
don't use much magic.
You'll end up back in the Temple Maze when you're finished.
As mentioned above, go into doorway #6 when you're ready.
NOTE: Doorway #4 is marked as IIII. Shouldn't it be IV?
=======================
Chasing Room
=======================
Alright. You need to go in the same door the guy's going to come out. Here's
the doors excluding the one leading out:
1
2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9
Here's where the doors lead to:
4
7 9 2 6
3 8 5 1
So there you go. If he goes into doorway #4 from the first drawing, YOU go into
doorway #2 from the second drawing.
The WORK GLOVE, a weapon for Tifa, is in the treasure chest at the bottom.
After you catch him he'll unlock the door and let you save and rest. Go into
the bottom-right door to get you back to the top-left door, then go through the
door that's unlocked now.
=======================
Murals Room
=======================
Go to the right until you come to the end.

This guy's actually pretty hard. As usual, Poison him first. Ice doesn't do
particularly well on him. Use Cloud's Limit Breaks on him as much as you can.
They'll do the most damage.
Use Aeris' Limit Breaks to heal yourself, and have her throw people X-POTIONs
and stuff as they get hurt.
After you kick his butt, you get a DRAGON ARMLET. You'll also find some
BAHAMUT summon materia.
When you can, go check out that floating black pyramid.
It doesn't matter what you choose to do, Aeris will stop you anyway.
Hey! Looks like PHS Cellular set up a tower near here. Choose to believe Cait
Sith when he calls. After that, leave.
=======================

REST with the Nyum Nyum and save. You have ANOTHER boss coming up, and he's the

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
YOU MUST ATTACK QUICKLY. If you go slow, he'll crack an egg above your head and
probably kill you in one hit. He doesn't have a weakness.
This boss is even harder than the last. Use lots of summons, including BAHAMUT.
Battling is kinda boring too, because it just shows the back of him, which is
a wall. Grr. I wish he had a weakness.
If you get a nice hit on him, he'll sit there in a stupor for a second. But
still hurry, it doesn't last long.
This wouldn't be so hard if you didn't have to have stupid Aeris in your party.
You can level up in the Murals Room if you're not high enough.
For me, attacks seem to be working better than any magic, so you might want to
try out that NAIL BAT if you got it.
After the battle, you'll get a GIGAS ARMLET and Cait Sith will show up if he's
not in your party. He acts like he's gonna die and all, but he's just a stuffed
animal, remember?
=======================
Temple Courtyard
=======================
Booyeah! The BLACK MATERIA.
You control Cloud as a kid, but you can't do anything. :-\.
=======================
Gongaga Inn
=======================
There's an X-POTION in the treasure chest here. Leave.
=======================
Gongaga
=======================
Go down the path leading out of town.
=======================
Gongaga Path
=======================
Go to the left, to the end.
=======================
World Map
=======================
Wait...why are we at Gongaga?
Who cares. The Tiny Bronco is just south of your current position. Hop on.
You'll have to go east, past where the Temple was. Then go up and around to the
top of the eastern continent. Go to the southeastern dot on the northern
continent. It's the Bone Village.
=======================
Bone Village
=======================
If you climb up the ladder and go out the exit there, you'll find yourself in a
never-ending forest. You need the LUNAR HARP to make it stop doing that.
So talk to the man in the doorway and tell him to Start diggin'. When he gives
you the choices, choose Lunar Harp.
Put all the people at the top of the ladder, on the upper area. Spread them
out.
If you can't figure it out, the LUNAR HARP is located just to the right of the
smoke and up just a little from the cliff.
After you get it, buy some DIAMOND BANGLEs from the man and continue into the
forest on the upper level of the village.
=======================
Sleeping Forest
=======================
Run into the light. Then when the screen changes, you can see a little red dot
floating around. It goes from left to right. So if you miss it on the left
side, go to the right side.
When you get it, it's the KUJATA materia. Kujata is a large warthog.
After you get that, go to the brighter end of the path.
=======================
Road to the City of the Ancients
=======================
There's a treasure chest here containing a WATER RING.
Run up the rock stairs and through the log. Then go to the end.
After the screen changes, run along the strange path to the end.
NOTE: I just discovered that the SILVER RIFLE is blue.
=======================
World Map
=======================
Well, continue to that mushroom-looking thing north of you.
=======================
City of the Ancients
=======================
Go forward and at the junction, go right.
Take the first right and go into the building.
=======================
Ancient Residence
=======================
Go to the top, where you'll find a treasure chest containing a GUARD SOURCE.
Leave.
=======================
City of the Ancients
=======================
Continue down the path into the next building.
=======================
Ancient Inn
=======================
The treasure chest here contains an ELIXIR. Then climb up the ladder and say no
when your friends ask you to take a nap. Run past the beds for some ENEMY SKILL
materia. Now take a nap. You might have to exit and come back in.
Leave.
=======================
City of the Ancients
=======================
Go back to the entrance, then go straight at the junction, leading into a
mushroom-ish area.
=======================
Shady Path
=======================
Run to the end.
=======================
Ancient Lake
=======================
Go into the large shell.
=======================
Ancient Shell
=======================
Go to the top and take the powerful COMET materia. Then go down the blue steps.
=======================
Secret Lower City
=======================
Run down the stairs into the city. SAVE at the save point, then go down more
stairs and jump across the columns to the little place where Aeris is.
NOTE: Put the WATER RING on a character with ENEMY SKILL and some healing
magic.
=======================
Ancient Praying Point
=======================
Go talk to Aeris. You can't, because Sephiroth is controlling your body. Just
keep trying to talk to her until you chop her up. ;-) Eventually, you'll see
most likely the coolest
_Cutscene_
in the game. Wow. That was pretty cool. And sad. Very sad.
NOTE: REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK, AERIS CANNOT BE REVIVED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR
FORM. That's right. I've tried them all. NOBODY has any kind of proof or
anything. So get over it. She's dead.
Great. Now we have to fight a boss without cool music.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Use your Quake or Quake2 if you have it when you can. However, this guy really
isn't that hard, so he doesn't need a weakness. That last boss, however, DID.
Bahamut works well, as usual. Bahamut is the man.
Just keep attacking. WATCH OUT FOR AQUALUNG. You'll be almost completely
protected if you have the AQUA RING equipped.
Don't be scared to let Vincent use his magic-related limit breaks, either.
Jenova's Reflect can't reflect the Berserk Dance or the Beast Flare.
You'll get a WIZARD BRACELET for winning.
After you win, you'll want to slap Squaresoft if you have Vincent in your
party. Vincent's cape is way up in the air and his leg is up like he's doing a
kick line on a dance team.
If you have a girl in your party, they'll hug ya. Even Yuffie. She barely knew
Aeris. Guys, however, won't hug you.
Vincent walks away with his cape still up and his foot touching his head.
=======================
Ancient Lake
=======================
Probably up there on the list of the top cutscenes, you'll see a
_Cutscene_
BOOM! That's Disc 1. It's the longest, so don't get upset. Well, Disc 2's about
the same, but Disc 3 is extremely short.
=======================
City of the Ancients
=======================
Well, Sephiroth said he's going north and we're already on the northern-most
continent, so we can't be too far.
Follow Sephiroth to the end of that path.
=======================
Shell Area
=======================
There's a VIPER HALBERD in the treasure chest here.
After you get that, jump from spike to spike, up the shell. Then run up and
through the shell, then out on top of it. Jump onto the cliff and into the
cave.
=======================
Ancient Cave
=======================
Go to the 2nd crack in the wall and climb up. Choose to go left. Then climb up
that crack and choose to go right. Go to the crack at the end and choose to go
down. Open the treasure chest for a HYPNOCROWN.
Climb up the crack and choose to go left. Then go left to the crack at the end.
Choose to go up, then take the BOLT ARMLET from the chest at the top. Climb
back down and go to the right.
Jump back on the crack to the right and go up. Choose right at the top, and
take the MEGALIXIR from the chest.
Jump back into the crack, go up and go left. Continue to the next crack, then
go up. At the top, run to the ladder and choose to go down. Take the slightly
hidden MAGIC PLUS materia. Climb back up. When you get off, get back on and go
up. Run into the cave on the left.
Take the POWER SOURCE from the chest, then go into the blue part of the cave.
=======================
World Map
=======================
Walk to the final dot that you haven't been to (other than Mideel in the
southeast). It shouldn't be too hard to get there. You'll find yourself in
Icicle Inn.
=======================
Icicle Inn
=======================
Well, yea, but it's a city.
In the weapons shop, you'll find weapons for just about everyone. Except for,
of course, Aeris. Boo hoo.
Go into the house furthest to the right.
=======================
Icicle Residence
=======================
There's a HERO DRINK and a VACCINE in that room and the GLACIER MAP on the
wall. Be sure you take it. Leave.
=======================
Icicle Inn
=======================
Now go to the far end of the town and talk to that guy. When you get the
choice, choose "I'm still going".
Elena will show up and she wants to punch you. What a loser. Keep pushing left
to dodge it. If you don't, you'll be put in a house which we're going to go to
next anyway, so don't worry about it.
Go into the house next to the weapons shop.
=======================
Video Room
=======================
Check one of the computers for a chance to watch 3, count 'em, 3 informative
videos. One contains Ifalna, Aeris' momma, one contains information about
Weapon, one contains information about Aeris' daddy, and the last one shows
Hojo as a young man.
They're all boring, but for story freaks like me, they're fun.
However, the reason I brought you in here is the TURBO ETHER located beside the
bed downstairs. Get it and leave.
=======================
Icicle Inn
=======================
Now go into the house in the middle of the town with the dog beside the door.
=======================
Snowboarder's House
=======================
Go talk to the kid in the back and he'll give you his SNOWBOARD. Wow.
Leave.
=======================
Icicle Inn
=======================
Now go back and talk to that guy at the far side of town again. He'll tell you
how to ride a snowboard. Run to the right of him to the slope.
=======================
Icicle Slope
=======================
Go all the way to the bottom. Wow. There's a bunch of turns and stuff. Go
right on every turn. Well, you don't have to, but this walkthrough is going to
assume you did. I'll tell you how to find your way at the bottom.
=======================
Strange Place
=======================
Whoa. You're at the cave in the southeast corner of the map. You need to get to
the check mark on the map. It's not that hard, just head north until you get to
a "world map-ish" view.
NOTE: Some walkthroughs recommend that you battle a little and wait. If you do
this, you'll faint, and a man will save you and take you to his cabin.
We'll end up there eventually, but for now just go to the world map-ish place.
Whoa. Here you can find an ALL materia, a SAFETY BIT, a MIND SOURCE, an ELIXIR,
and the ALEXANDER summon materia.
Most of this stuff you probably couldn't care less about, except for the
ALEXANDER summon. To get this, you need to find the hot springs in the glacier
area first. Touch them.
Now you need to find the cabin at the base of Gaea's Cliff. After you get
there, go back to the Snowy Area and go east. After the screen changes, head
right until you see a cave. Go inside and talk to that man a bunch of times.
You'll have to battle him, but he's not that hard. At the end of the battle,
you'll get the ALEXANDER summon materia.
=======================
Snowy Area
=======================
You need to go north, but leave markers or you won't know which way north is.
If you end up in a snowy passage, that's bad. If you find yourself in front of
a house, then you're good.
=======================
Base of Gaea's Cliff
=======================
Go into the house.
=======================
Gaea's Cliff House
=======================
Go into the next room and talk to the man. Then head into the last room.
After the man's touching story, save at the save point and leave.
=======================
Base of Gaea's Cliff
=======================
Go up the hill.
=======================
Side of Gaea's Cliff
=======================
You need to climb up the mountain, stopping at the flat parts to raise your
body temperature. Push the button the man in the cabin told you to repeatedly
to raise your body temperature. It can't go above 38 and if it goes below 28
you'll find yourself back in that cabin.
So climb up to the cave at the top.
=======================
Gaea's Cliff Cave 1
=======================
NOTE: Every time you go in or out of a room, I'll skip a line.
Run straight ahead through the doorway.
Run up the stairs and through the hole up there.
Go across the ice bridge and try to run through the wall. You'll go through a
secret passage leading to a chest with a RIBBON inside.
Go back out and up. You'll find another chest with a JAVELIN inside. Go through
the cave here.
Run up through the cave and you'll come out on top with a boulder. Push it.
Then go back out the way you came in.
Go through the other caveway on the upper level.
Now that the boulder crushed those stalactites (man, I feel smart), run over
where they were and through the hole. You'll come out at a higher place. Follow
the path to the end.
Run out the cave at the other end.
=======================
Side of Gaea's Cliff
=======================
Climb up the side. When you get a choice, choose "up". The rest of it should be
pretty much one-way.
=======================
Gaea's Cliff Cave 2
=======================
Save at the save point if you want, then go out the cave to the right.
Run around the bend then follow the path back toward the cave.
=======================
Upper Gaea's Cliff
=======================
There's a FIRE ARMLET in the chest to the right here.
Here, you'll fight 4 servings of Bats and Icicles. The icicles aren't that
hard. They have 3,000 HP and 300 MP (?). They're also weak against Fire, Earth,
and Gravity. You don't really have to fight the Bats, just the Icicles.
NOTE: Don't try it. The Icicles CAN'T be poisoned. :'-(
Anyway, beat them all and take the MEGALIXIR. Then jump down to the room below.
=======================
Gaea's Cliff Cave 2
=======================
You can climb up one of the icicles on the left to get to a chest containing a
SPEED SOURCE. Then jump across the icicles in the middle to the exit.
There's an ENHANCE SWORD in the chest. Take it, then run to the end of the
path.
=======================
Upper Gaea's Cliff
=======================
Run to the end.
=======================
Side of Gaea's Cliff
=======================
Climb it. Choose "up" both times.
=======================
Gaea's Cliff Cave 3
=======================
I highly recommend you save at the save point now. There's a boss coming up and
he'll probably be pretty hard for someone who HASN'T been wandering around the
Glacier area forever.
Continue to the other end.
NOTE: Be SURE to use the FIRE ARMLET and FIRE RING. The DRAGON ARMLET helps out
as well. I'd spread them out amongst your party.

As usual, Bahamut is the man.
These guys are really annoying. One of them is a fire type and one is an ice
type. So try not to use either one with an ALL. Otherwise, you'll heal one and
hurt the other.
With all the items I mentioned above, you are well protected from the Left
Schizo. Fight as well as you can and eventually the two will join forces. When
they both shoot at you at the same time, if you have the FIRE ARMLET or FIRE
RING, you'll be unhurt.
If you listened to me and put the FIRE ARMLET on Vincent and used his Limit
Break, he will be fully-healed every time the losers attack, except for when
they use Quake3. I usually end up beating him with only Vincent alive.
However, it's very possible to beat him without Vincent.
After one of them dies, they can use a powerful attack that looks like a combo
of Bolt3 and Quake.
COMET works pretty well, too.
When the first one goes down and you get that powerful attack, you're close to
victory. The last guy just basically uses his Ice breathing move. Sometimes
Quake3, but usually just Ice breath.
The second guy goes out the same way as the first guy. After the battle, you
get a DRAGON FANG.
Continue down the path.
=======================
Side of Gaea's Cliff
=======================
Make the final climb up the side of the cliff here.
_Cutscene_
=======================
Crater Hill
=======================
Run down the hill. Check the bodies of any guys that drop in front of you.
Run forward. Oh great. Tifa. For me, she's only 9 levels down anyway. !!!
Run to the end.
=======================
Whirlwind Maze
=======================
Go along the passage. Take the ultra-important NEO BAHAMUT summon materia. He's
even more powerful than BAHAMUT.
Save if you want, then continue to the end. Ignore Rufus.
After the screen changes, you can see a whirlwind. The trick is to go through
when the wind is calm. If you mess up, you'll get knocked back and stuck in a
battle.
There's 2 black-caped men here. One has an ETHER and one has a HI-POTION.
Continue to the end when you get through.
=======================
Winding Canyon
=======================
Get to that treasure chest. It has a KAISER KNUCKLE.
Continue to the end.
NOTE: Heh. There's some guys here that you can battle that look like the dude
from the honeycomb commercial. ME WANT HONEYCOMB!
=======================
Whirlwind Maze 2
=======================
The same as the first one, except now you have to avoid that green shockwave.
=======================
Upper Canyon
=======================
NOTE: I recommend that you prepare yourself like you did for the last boss.
Run to meet Sephiroth. Oh great. Another Jenova boss.
