Search him again for another <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Potion</B></FONT>. Follow the others north. About halfway up the screen, two guards will attack. Kill them off and duck into the hallway on the far left, after your allies.</div> <bR> <div> Go north and talk to Biggs (the guy on the left). During the discourse, name yourself when prompted. Barret comes running in. Name him, and after a short FMV, you automatically enter the reactor. Follow the others north and west through the doorway.</div> <bR> <div> The next screen in a catwalk high above the ground. When you come to a T-shaped junction, go north, into the reactor. Talk to Barret, and he joins your party. Next, talk to Biggs (on the left) to open the door. Run through, then talk to Jessie to open the next door. Go north, but before you enter the elevator, search to the right for a chest with a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Phoenix Down</B></FONT>. Now talk to Jessie and enter the elevator.</div> <bR> <div> Use the elevator to go down to the next level. While the elevator is going down, Barret and Cloud talk a bit and get to know (and hate) each other. Exit the elevator into a large room with stairs. Take the stairs down and right, then down and left, until you reach the ground. Enter the door directly in front of you. Walk up to the gap to jump over it, and talk to Jessie. She explains how to use ladders. Climb down, and then walk towards Jessie. See the flickering blue thing by her feet? It's a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Potion</B></FONT>. Get it. Now run down the ladder on the right, and climb down the ladder next to the platform. Run down the pipe to the next screen.</div> <bR> <div> Run down the pipes over the the ladder on the wall. Here you encounter your first save point. Save your game. Run down the walkway to the next area. Run up to the green dot on the ground. Pick it up, it's a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Restore</B></FONT> Materia. You won't be able to use it until later. Run up to the reactor, and watch the action. Cloud hears a voice warning him away from the reactor. Place the bomb, then the Guard Scorpion attacks.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="492" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#000000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#000000" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=3 HEIGHT= 59 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="09be8100.gif" border=0 width="488" height="16" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Guard Scorpion</B></div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER ROWSPAN=7 HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="236"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="236" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> <B>LEVEL</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> 12</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> <B>HP</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> 800</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> <B>MP</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> 0</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> <B>EXP</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> 100</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> <B>AP</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> 10</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> <B>GIL</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> 100</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> <B>ITEM</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="116"><div> <B>Assault Gun</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=3 HEIGHT= 66 WIDTH="474"><div> The Guard Scorpion, being a robot, is suceptible to lightning.

Her leg is stuck, help her free it. Then run up the stairs, and to the elevator. Talk to Jessie, then Biggs, to open both doors.

When you talk to the flower girl, pick the bottom option, and then the top option. Exit the screen, and you end up in a large open space. Go south, around the large fountain, and then west. Pick up the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Potion</B></FONT> on the left side of the screen. Exit the building to the south. Fight the soldiers or run from them, either way, you jump on a train.</div> <bR> <div> The scene starts with Jessie, Biggs, Wedge, and Barret talking. Cloud joins them, and they leave. Follow them into the next train car. Talk to everyone, After you talk to Jessie, the train passes through an ID Security Check area. After this, talk to Barret, and the train reaches the station. Watch the cool FMV, and exit the train.</div> <bR> <div> Exit to the left, but instead of following the others, head up and save at the save point. You can also take a peek at one of the pillars holding up the city. Now go down and left to AVALANCHE H.Q., a.k.a. Tifa's 7th Heaven bar. Enter the bar, and talk to Tifa, and the little girl, Marlene. After naming Tifa, give Tifa a flower. Now talk to everyone else. Try to leave the bar, and Barret will come in. Follow everyone downstairs and talk to them.</div> <bR> <div> Go back upstairs and try to leave. Tifa follows you, so talk to her. Watch the story. Barret comes and pays you 1500 gil for the mission. After you agree(?) to go on the next mission, you go to sleep. Wake up and go upstairs. Marlene is at the bar mixing drinks. Talk to Tifa and Barret. You explain to Barret <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id18_how_to_use_materia.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Materia"><U>how to use Materia</U></A></FONT>, and from here on, you can equip and use it.</div> <bR> <div> Leave the bar after Tifa and Barret join you, and go down to the shack near the bottom of the screen, to the left. Don't buy any Potions here, you should have enough already. Do, however, buy at least one <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Restore</B></FONT> Materia and one <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Fire</B></FONT> Materia (Cloud already has <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Lightning</B></FONT> and <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ice</B></FONT> ). Equip them. If you need some more gil, run back near the train station, and continue right. Fight the Sweepers, Guard Hounds, and Mono Drives here for experience and gil. Exit the store, and run to the large building to your right. Buy three <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Iron Bangles</B></FONT> from the man behind the counter. Equip them and sell the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Bronze Bangles</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> Go up to the second floor to the Beginner's Hall and talk to everyone. The dog explains how to use the buttons. Grab the blue circle by the boy on the right's feet. It's an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>All</B></FONT> Materia. He then gives you an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ether</B></FONT>. The kids beating each other up explain Limit Gauges. The lady in pink explains about Save Points. The three big guys on the right and the big construction worker by the entrance explain pretty much everything else. Also, now is a good time to move Barret to the back row with the Order command. He has a long range weapon, and can dish out just as much pain from back there.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="223680c0.gif" border=0 width="616" height="12" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <I>D.

When the I.D. Check fails, follow everyone else and get off the cars before the time limit expires. You can talk to the other people on the train while you escape to receive items, but don't get stuck in a car or you'll have to walk further! After jumping off the train, you end up on the tracks. If you run down five screens, you can fight Shinra Security Guards (Special Combatants), and build some experience. Otherwise, go up a screen, to the green security sensors. Walk left, up to the small hatch, and climb in.</div> <bR> <div> Walk forward and grab the green <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ether</B></FONT> on the ground. Climb down the ladder to the grate, and then down another ladder. Run left and talk to Wedge, then go up either ladder. Talk to Jessie, then look just to the left of the vent with the red triangle pointing at it. A <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Potion</B></FONT> is hiding around the corner! Get it, and then proceed left and down the ladder. Run around to the little white flashing bag, it's a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Tent</B></FONT>. Go to the Save Point, and save. Talk to Biggs, and go up the ladder.</div> <bR> <div> Now you are in the reactor. Slide down the pipe at the right end of the ledge. You should recognize the layout of the reactor. Run left to the door at the base of the stairs. Follow the same path as you did in the Number 1 Reactor. When you reach the core, Cloud has a flashback of Tifa going into a reactor. Sabotage the computer, and leave the reactor core. Exit the same way you did the other reactor, up the pipes, up the long staircase, and use the elevator.</div> <bR> <div> Upon exiting the elevator, open the chest on the left for another <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ether</B></FONT>. Go up and left into the room with the large panel in the center. Walk up to the panel, and time when you hit the button to match Tifa and Barret's hits (Tifa will explain when you enter the room). Now go through the open door and save. This may be a good time to use your <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Tent</B></FONT>, because through the next door and down the stairs is the boss. When you reach the T-junction, talk to President Shinra. He flies away, but leaves you to fight Air Buster.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="4bd68080.gif" border=0 width="616" height="8" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="4be68100.gif" border=0 width="616" height="16" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>Boss Fight: Airbuster</I></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="617" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#000000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#000000" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 149 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="49ec88f0.gif" border=0 width="200" height="143" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="403"><div> As with Guard Scorpion, <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Bolt</B></FONT> is effective here.

When you talk to her, pick the top option, then the top option, and the top option. Actually, if you leave the church and walk outside the doors to the right, you can walk to Reno briefly... Walk to Aeris and talk to her again. Name her, and then talk some more. Reno of the Turks comes in to the church. Talk to Aeris again, and then fight the guards.</div> <bR> <div> Run to the back, and then you can either fight the guards with Aeris or have Cloud drop barrels on them. I prefer the first option, to build levels. But if you don't want to fight, drop the barrels in this order: the barrel on the far left, the barrel in the back, and the barrel on the right. Climb up out onto the roof using the broken plank. Talk with Aeris, then walk along the rooftops. You end up in the slums.</div> <bR> <div> Save. Go left one screen. Go up where the light is, which takes you to the town. Buy materia and armor. In the house on the right, search the dresser upstairs next to the sleeping kid. You can steal 5 gil from the kid's dresser drawer. If you don't, however, when you return later he gives you a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Turbo Ether</B></FONT>. Also, read the papers on his wall, one of them is the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id50_07__turtle_s_paradise_flyers.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sidequests"><U>Turtle's Paradise Flyer No. 1</U></A></FONT>. The guy in the pipe in the upper left, who only says "Uhhh" also has a tattoo of a number. Remember this guy... you'll meet more of his type later on... Anyways, go into the light to the right of the weapon shop to go to Aeris's house. Save. Go to the flower garder to the right of the house, and get a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Cover</B></FONT> Materia, and an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ether</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> Enter the house, and talk to Aeris's mom, Elmyra. Then talk to Aeris, and when you have the option, choose the top one. When Aeris goes upstairs, talk to her mom. Go upstairs, and Aeris talks to you again. Sleep, then Cloud has a dream about being home. When you wake up, search by the table at the foot of the bed, you get a<B> </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Potion</B></FONT> and a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Phoenix Down</B></FONT>. Leave Aeris's, making sure to walk (not run) along the railing, and exit to the town. Go back to the main street, and go north.

Run to the pink beam and run down it, and through the metal pipe. Run left and up to the wood plank which is to the right of the crane. Run up the plank, down the wood bridge, and up to the next screen. Talk to Aeris, and pick the bottom option. Follow her until she stops, then talk again. After Tifa rides past, follow her to the Wall Market.</div> <bR> <div> Sleep at the Inn if you want. It costs 10 gil. To the right is... uh... well, find out for yourself. The building marked ITEM holds an item that you can not get yet. Then there is a store, a sushi bar, a clothing store, and an artifact store.</div> <bR> <div> Now go to that place on the right, er, the one the guy in the white shirt is too embarassed to say. Talk to the chubby guy in the vest that's talking to the bouncer. Ask him about Tifa. Now go back left and all the way north three screens until you reach a mansion. Talk to the guard here, and Aeris will suggest that you should dress like a girl to get in. Yikes! For some reason, you go along with the idea (I would rather fight my way in...). Now go back to the first screen and talk to the guy in the white shirt on the right side of the screen. He will give you his <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Member Card</B></FONT> to the club.</div> <bR> <div> Okay, here's the thing. The following will tell you how to get all the girl things. In the end, you will be judged by what you got. If you get very little, then you go in a room where you can battle a lot of guys, my personal favorite. If you get a lot of stuff, you are picked and fight nobody. But I prefer the experience, so I just get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Cotton Dress</B></FONT> and the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Wig</B></FONT>. But that's me, so choose for yourself (if you choose to get everything, well then I have to wonder about you just a little...).</div> <bR> <div> Enter, and prepare yourself to be shocked. Pick one of the rooms on the left, the bottom one to get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Bikini Briefs</B></FONT>, or the top one to get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Lingerie</B></FONT>. You can also peek in the rooms on the right, or go into the top room to have makeup put on you.</div> <bR> <div> Now go to the clothing store and talk to the girl behind the counter. She explains that her father is "plastered at the bar". Go up a screen to the bar, (the building with the mat outside that says "IN") and talk to the man sitting on the right side by himself. He will ask you two questions, answer him and return to the clothing store. He will give you a dress, based on your answers to his two questions. If you answered the first question with the first choice, you get a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Cotton Dress</B></FONT>. If you answered with the second choice then the first, you get a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Satin Dress.</B></FONT> And if you answered the second choice then the second, you get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Silk Dress</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> Go to the artifact shop on the first screen. Talk to the man, and then go sleep at the Inn. In the middle of the night, you wake up. Buy an item, and return it to the man. If you get the 200 gil item, you get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Diamond Tiara</B></FONT>, if you pick the 100 gil item, you get the<B> </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ruby Tiara</B></FONT>, and if you pick the 50 gil item, you get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Glass Tiara</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >Go to the sushi bar and sit down. Make sure you have more than 70 gil, and eat one thing you want. When the guy asks you how you like it, tell him the middle option. He will give you an </FONT><B>Item Coupon</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >. Take the </FONT><B>Item Coupon</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > to the store and exchange it.

Go to the bar and talk to the person standing outside the bathroom. He's really got to go. Go to the bathroom door and talk to the person inside, and give them the item you got at the store. In return, they will give you an item: </FONT><B>Cologne</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > for the </FONT><B>Disinfectant</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >, </FONT><B>Flower Cologne</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > for the </FONT><B>Deodorant</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >, and </FONT><B>Sexy Cologne</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > for the </FONT><B>Digestive</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> Go to the gym (second screen, bottom left building, south of the weapon shop). Talk with the... uhh... "woman" by the ring. Select the bottom choice, then the bottom choice, and start the squat contest.

If you tie, you get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Dyed Wig</B></FONT>, and if you lose, you just get the plain old <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Wig</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> After getting a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Wig</B></FONT>, return to the clothing store and try on your nice new dress . Go to the mansion and go on in. Go upstairs and to the room on the left. You find Tifa. Aeris and Tifa have an uncomfortable moment. After the talking's done, before running upstairs, get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ether</B></FONT> by the fire. Go upstairs and in the middle door. Don Corneo will pick either Cloud, Tifa, or Aeris. He picks based on the items you got.</div> <bR> <div> If Cloud was NOT picked, you'll end up in a room with a bunch of guys. Get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Phoenix Down</B></FONT> in the lower right, then fight the guys. Save Aeris or Tifa from the Torture Chamber, and bust in the middle door. Next, you talk to him, rather, threaten to rip his nads off. After this, search behind the bed for a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Hyper</B></FONT> and go stand by the ladies. Don Corneo talks again, pick any one of the three options to fall into the sewer.</div> <bR> <div> If Cloud was picked, then follow Don into his room.

The entire section of the plate crashes down in a nice looking FMV sequence.</div> <bR> <div> The party starts out near Wall Market. After a brief cutscene, you end up near sector 5. Go up the wood bridge and toward the plank, and Tifa and Barret will join you. Go to Aeris's House in Sector 5. Talk to Elmyra, then go upstairs and spend the night. Try to leave the house, and everyone joins you. Before you leave for Wall Market, go to the house with the boy you DIDN'T steal the 5 gil from (the house on the right), and he will give you a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Turbo Ether</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> Return to the playground in Sector 6.

Insert a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Battery</B></FONT>. This powers the propeller, creating a walkway. Jump up to the propeller, and walk up it, to the pipe.

Choose whether to bust in through the front door or to go off to the left and climb the stairs. The stairs are by far easier, and have an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Elixir</B></FONT>, but are extremely long and boring. Busting in through the front, however, is harder, but gets you exp. and gil. Also, you can read <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id50_07__turtle_s_paradise_flyers.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sidequests"><U>Turtle's Paradise Flyer No. 2</U></A></FONT> on the first floor. It's on the bulletin board near the rear wall. And, if you bust in, on the second floor, enter the far right door ("Accessories"). Scare off the two people on the left, then look at the cool car ads. Either way you will eventually end up on the 59th floor. And if you fight a SOLDIER: 3rd, you can steal a good weapon for Cloud!</div> <bR> <div> Once there, run right to beat up the three guards (Mighty Grunts). They drop the item <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Keycard 60</B></FONT>. Now enter the elevator. Press the button to go up, then talk to both Barret and Tifa to exit.</div> <bR> <div> The 60th floor and above are high-security floors. What you need to do is run around the column to the left, and enter the room. Now you must time when you run past the guards. When they move, you must sneak to the next statue. Then repeat this process with your friends. Climb to floor 61 - the lounge. Talk the everyone here, but especially to the man in grey. He will ask you what you are doing here. Say "......". He gives you <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Keycard 62</B></FONT>. Go up to floor 62.</div> <bR> <div> The mayor of Midgar awaits you on floor 62. He has a puzzle for you - he will give you the next keycard and an item if you can guess the password. Also on this floor are four libraries, with their titles on the plaques outside the doors. The plaque tells the theme of that library. Each library has one book that is in the wrong library. <I>EXAMPLE: A book about the Ancients should </I><I><B>NOT</B></I><I> be in the Space Program library...</I> Also, each of the books has a number in front of the title. Take the four wrong books from the four libraries, and look at the titles of the four books. If the number in front of the title is a 4, write down the fourth letter, if it's a 16, write down the 16th letter, etc... Unscramble the letters to spell out something on the mayor's list. When you answer correctly, you get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Keycard 65</B></FONT> and an item. Depending on which try you answer correctly, you get a different item: 1st try = <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Elemental</B></FONT> Materia; 2nd = <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Elixir</B></FONT>; 3rd = <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ether</B></FONT>; 4th = <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Potion</B></FONT>; 5th or more = Nothing.</div> <bR> <div> Go to floor 63. Here you can open only three doors to get to all three item coupons. Talk to the computer in the lower right room for a better explanation. Anyway, the path to follow is:</div> <bR> <div> Go all the way to the right and up. Open the door that is on the top row. Now go all the way left to the door but do NOT open it. Open the door to the south. Go down and left into the room with the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>A Coupon</B></FONT>. Climb into the air duct on the right, and follow it down, then right, then up. This drops you in with the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>B Coupon</B></FONT>. Exit the room and open the door to your left. Get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>C Coupon</B></FONT> and go back into the air duct. Go down and right, this drops you in the computer room. Talk to the computer and select "Coupon Change" to get your items. The <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>A Coupon</B></FONT> is a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Star Pendant</B></FONT>. The <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>B Coupon</B></FONT> is a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Four Slots</B></FONT> bracelet. The <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>C Coupon</B></FONT> is an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>All</B></FONT> Materia. Exit the floor and go to floor 64.</div> <bR> <div> Floor 64 is a fitness center. Rest and save in the room on the left. You can try the treadmills in the center room. Go into the room with the lockers and search the lockers for items; you can find an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ether</B></FONT>, a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Phoenix Down</B></FONT>, and the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>HP Shout</B></FONT> m-phone (a weapon for Cait Sith, you'll meet him later). Right now you can't get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>HP Shout</B></FONT>, you'll have to get it when you come back another time. Exit the floor and head up to 65.</div> <bR> <div> On the 65th floor are a bunch of locked chests. Only one opens, and it gives you <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Midgar Parts</B></FONT>. Take them into the center room with the model of Midgar and insert them in one of the holes. The noise you hear is another chest unlocking. Find which one it is, and open it. More <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Midgar Parts</B></FONT>. Keep doing this until there are no more holes in the model. The last click you hear is the chest by the stairs; it holds <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Keycard 66</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> The 66th floor holds the meeting room for Shinra execs. Talk to everyone if you want. Then go into the bathroom. Climb into the stall and onto the toilet to hear what's going on in the conference room. Follow Hojo up the stairs to floor 67 (he leaves the door unlocked).</div> <bR> <div> Floor 67 is the research lab. Run down and to the left, all the way over by the crates. Now go up near the purple glow. Watch Hojo, then examine the door to see Jenova. Cloud has a flashback. Now run back to the back of the room. Get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Poison</B></FONT> Materia from the chest and save. Exit through the back door. Exit the elevator and you find Aeris.

Go upstairs and you all talk for a while. Cloud will tell the story of his past. Wander around Nibelheim. You can play the piano at Tifa's. Go look in Tifa's closet for "<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Orthopedic Underwear</B></FONT>". Meet Zangan at the Inn. He's Tifa's sensei. Talk to Sephiroth upstairs. Talk to him again and get some sleep.</div> <bR> <div> Talk to him again when you wake up. Tifa guides the party into the mountains. Watch the cool FMV of the mountain bridge. Run up and talk to Tifa. Follow her. The bridge breaks in yet another nifty FMV and you all fall to the ground. Run up into the mountains and into the first cave. Go north to the other end. Watch the explanation about natural Materia. Note that there are only four other locations in the world where Materia occurs naturally.</div> <bR> <div> Run up into the reactor. Run along the pipes to the wood board. Jump from there to the chains on the wall. Climb down to the large beam, the run right into the reactor core. Run up the stairs and talk to Sephiroth. Go to the pod on the left that Sephiroth was in front of, then talk to him again. Look into the pod. Hojo is not only infusing Mako into the people, but consolidating Materia into them. Sephiroth goes nuts. One of the pods breaks open with a cool FMV.</div> <bR> <div> Opt to finish the story when Barret asks. Once in the mansion, go upstairs and to the right. Talk to the soldier. Go into the room in front of him and push the bricks. Go down the stairs and then run down towards the screen. Run right and listen to Sephiroth. You learn that Jenova, an ancient, was found in the ground, estimated to be 2000 years old.</div> <bR> <div> Talk to Sephiroth, then leave the room. Once the story part is over, run down to the room where Sephiroth was, then up into the study. He is still there, but now understands everything about his past. Run out to the town, which is on fire. Go to the center of town and talk to Zangan. Go check the burning house. Then read more storyline and see Sephiroth in the fire, in one of the most awesome FMV sequences in the game. Go down to the reactor core. Tifa is there with her dying father. This is the flashback you had at the Number 5 Reactor. Tifa runs up and tries to kill Sephiroth with the Masamune. Instead, he slashes her and goes inside the Jenova Chamber. Check Tifa and follow Sephiroth. Check out more FMV.</div> <bR> <div> Pick the second option to leave. Return to the top floor of the inn, and go to the left of the stairs. Try opening the cabinet here. There is an item that Cloud cannot reach. Open it a total of five times. Cloud gets mad and hits the cabinet, causing the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Megalixir</B></FONT> to fall. One of your party members gives you the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>PHS</B></FONT> downstairs (see <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id34_10__the_phs.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Playing the Game"><U>The PHS</U></A></FONT>). Buy weapons, materia, and items as desired. Go to the first house right of the Inn. In the closet under the stairs is an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ether</B></FONT>. In the house to the right of that, there is an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ether</B></FONT> upstairs in the wardrobe. Also, let the dog out of the closet on the first floor. Why was he in there? In the house next to THAT, go up the stairs to the left, and open the chest to get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Peacemaker</B></FONT>. If you go up the staircase on the RIGHT, you can get a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Guard Source</B></FONT> from the second cabinet from the left. Go to the house on the far right side of town and open up the pantry under the stairs for yet ANOTHER <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ether</B></FONT>. Do these people really appreciate you taking their stuff? Remember the location of this house, it's the location of several secrets towards the end of the game. Stock up on materia and goods, and prepare to leave.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="223680c0.gif" border=0 width="616" height="12" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#3366FF" FACE="Arial" ><I>L.

Now might be the best time to learn your first Enemy Skill (assuming you got the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Enemy Skill</B></FONT> Materia). Fight the Custom Sweepers around Midgar (the area with the brown grass) to learn <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Matra Magic</B></FONT>. This is one of the only enemies that you can learn <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Matra Magic</B></FONT> from (the other is in the Corel Prison).</div> <bR> <div> Now head east near the Chocobo Farm. See that greyish swamp to the south? You can't cross it because of a monster called the Midgar Zolom (Who is actually located nowhere near Midgar...). Well, actually, it IS possible to cross, but don't attempt it unless you are incredibly brave, or incredibly lucky. Most people opt to catch a Chocobo.</div> <bR> <div> If for some reason you decide to try crossing on your own, make sure the Zolom is way over in the left-hand corner of the swamp, facing away from you. Start on the large chunk of land jutting into the swamp. Save here, then try to run. The Zolom can hear your footsteps in the swamp, and homes in on you. If you run you may get lucky and make it. If not, reset and restore your save. This is the method I used. By the way, it's a good idea to go to the farm for the Summon <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Choco/Mog</B></FONT> Materia.</div> <bR> <div> Otherwise, enter the farm, talk to the Chocobo near the fence and pick the top option. You get the Summon <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Choco/Mog</B></FONT> Materia. Go into the barn and talk to Choco Billy. Oh, and by the way, be sure to have 2000 gil handy. Pick the top option. Then pick the fourth option, then the first. He will sell you a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Chocobo Lure</B></FONT> Materia. Now buy a few <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Greens</B></FONT>. In the main house, Choco Bob will sell you Chocobo stables and give you advice. If you want, go to the right side of the house and walk into the bedroom to rest (for 100 gil). Leave and try to catch a Chocobo. If you have any questions, ask Choco Billy, or consult <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id50_01__chocobos.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sidequests"><U>Sidequests, Chocobos</U></A></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> Leave the Chocobo Farm. This is the best time to learn the Enemy Skill<B> </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>L4 Suicide</B></FONT>. Run around on the dark green grass west of the farm until you encounter a little brown gopher called Mu. Eventually, he will use this skill on you. There are few enemies that you can learn this skill from.</div> <bR> <div> Now, catch a Chocobo (or lace up your running shoes) and make a break across the swamp. Remember, the Zolom can still get you if you are on a Chocobo, but the Chocobo is fast enough that you should have a good chance of making it across. Run towards the cave. You see a cool shot of a large snake (another Zolom?) impaled on a large stake. Run around behind the snake to get back to the map, then enter the cave.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="223680c0.gif" border=0 width="616" height="12" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#3366FF" FACE="Arial" ><I>M.

Then buy items over on the right.</div> <bR> <div> Go down to the beach and talk to Aeris. You'll meet Hojo and talk about some things, like Aeris being an Ancient. This will not happen if Aeris is in your party. Then follow her to the Inn and talk some more. Say the first option.</div> <bR> <div> Now go back to the world map and save.

Sleep at the Inn (BTW, there is an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Elixir</B></FONT> behind the couch at the Inn), read the flyer outside the Inn door (next to the counter) - it's <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id50_07__turtle_s_paradise_flyers.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sidequests"><U>Turtle's Paradise Flyer No. 5</U></A></FONT>, save, and then meet Bugenhagen at the sealed door just under his observatory.</div> <bR> <div> Equip everyone with <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Star Pendants</B></FONT> (protect against [Poison]). Have him open the door, and go in. Climb down the ropes to the bottom. Go right, into the large room. Walk along into the caves and break open the rocks inside when asked. One of them opens a doorway, the others get you into fights. The rock in the third cave opens the door. You should break all four rocks, to learn the Enemy Skill <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Death Sentence</B></FONT> from the Gi Spectors. Go north through the door and into the next room.</div> <bR> <div> Go up and left when the path turns.

Go back and <U>carefully</U> walk back around the oil again. Go up, the left and down the stairs. Go down to get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Black M-Phone</B></FONT>. Go north again to get an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Ether</B></FONT>. Go around and back up the stairs and follow the path up.</div> <bR> <div> Go north again and take the fourth hole from the left. Touch the web and fight the large Stinger. Go up and get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>X-Potion</B></FONT>. Go back the the part with the five holes and go through the second hole. Touch the web and fight another Stinger. Follow the path left and down into the cave. Hold <IMG SRC="2f111110.gif" border=0 width="17" height="17" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> while walking through the cave to go through a hidden tunnel. Get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Fairy Ring</B></FONT> from the chest. Equip it (protects against [Poison/Darkness]). Go back up to where you fought the Stinger, and take the path on the right. Fight the third and final (whew) Stinger. Walk through the left wall for a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Turbo Ether</B></FONT>, and heal up for the boss.

The thing is, it burned down 5 years ago... Go into the inn (first house on the left) and talk to the Innkeeper. He doesn't know Cloud OR Tifa. Go into the back and find the caped figure with a 6 tattoo. He gives you a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Luck Source</B></FONT> and then mumbles something about going to a Reunion. Enter the next house. It's an Item Shop. Talk to the guy by the fireplace. Weird. Go up to the right by the pot-bellied stove. Another caped guy, this one's number 12. You get an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Elixir</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> Go to Cloud's house. More weird. Go to Tifa's. Talk to number 5 by the door. Cheapskate don't even give you anything. Go in the kitchen and talk to number 11. At least he gives you a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Turbo Ether</B></FONT>. Not like that punk number 5 guy. Tifa's parents' room has number 4 and he gives you a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Platinum Fist</B></FONT>. Go up to Tifa's desk in her room and read the report on the right side. This clears up some of the weirdness. The people in the town are Shinra staff, and the clones are experiments from the mansion. Leave Tifa's and go next door.</div> <bR> <div> Check the upstairs. Two more clones. Talk to the one on the right first to get a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Luck Source</B></FONT>. Now talk to the bottom one. She says "Reunion...", and the other says ".....ion..." after that. They were the kids you remembered in the flashback. This means - <U>gasp</U> - the townspeople who survived the fire were turned into experiments! Go up to Shinra Mansion. Talk to the two clones, who tell you Sephiroth is in the Mansion.</div> <bR> <div> Enter the mansion. There are several things to do here. The first is to get the Enemy Skill <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>????</B></FONT> from the scale-like Jerseys. Also, you can steal <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Turbo Ethers</B></FONT> from them. Unfortunately, Jerseys are almost impossible to run in to (most of the time it's those freakin' little pumpkin guys...). So if you <I>do</I> get into a fight with them, make SURE you learn <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>????</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >Another thing is the safe. See </FONT><A HREF="id50_10__the_shinra_mansion_safe.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sidequests"><U>The Shinra Mansion Safe</U></A><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > for details.

Go back to the stairs but continue to the right. Go to the north room for a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Magic Source</B></FONT> in a chest. Go back downstairs and into the door just to the right of the stairs. There is a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Silver M-Phone</B></FONT> here. Go into the door that is north of the entrance, and go right and up to get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Twin Viper</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> Now go back to the room with the squeak in the floor (upstairs, to the right, then down). Walk into the brick wall to open a secret entrance, then take the spiraling boards down. Run to the room where you saw Sephiroth in the flashback at Kalm. He will talk to you, and then give you the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Destruct</B></FONT> Materia.

It can only go in the light blue water, so head south, then east. Head east up the river near Nibelheim. Take the river to the ocean, and enter the Weapon Seller's place. The guy here tells you about the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Keystone</B></FONT>. Talk to him again and ask him where it is. He sold it to Dio, the owner of the Gold Saucer. Cross the river and leave the boat. Walk all the way around the sand pit, and over to Corel. From here, go to the Saucer.</div> <bR> <div> Either opt to pay 3000 gil for a one-time pass, or 30000 for the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Gold Ticket</B></FONT> (unlimited entry). For Chocobo racers and people who want to do the Battle Square in the future, dish out the 30000. It's worth it. If you're never coming back, don't. Anyway, go to Battle Square and go into the showroom to the right. The main pedestal has the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Keystone</B></FONT>. Talk to Dio. Pick the top option, and fight. You will get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Keystone</B></FONT>. If you beat all eight battles, (yeah, like that'll happen at this early of a level), you get a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Protect Vest</B></FONT> and a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Choco Feather</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> Try to leave. Go to the hotel (automatically) and talk to everyone. Aeris (or if you were mean to her, Tifa, Yuffie, or even Barret) will come into the room. Aeris asks Cloud about the date she owes him. Then she makes him have fun. Basically you don't control yourself until the play starts. You are the 100th couple to enter Event Square today, so you get to be in a play. Just perform however you wish, and the rest of the cast will cover up for you.</div> <bR> <div> Next, you go to Round Square and ride the skyway. Hit different buttons to do different actions. If you look out the window when Aeris talks, you can see cool FMVs. You return to the Station, and find Cait Sith. He's taking the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Keystone</B></FONT>. Follow him! He runs from Square to Square. Keep on following him until you catch up. He throws it to Tseng. You find out that he's a Shinra spy. That's why you never trust a cat. Oh, and by the way, he has Marlene.</div> <bR> <div> When you return to the room, search the wierd closet thing for an <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Elixir</B></FONT>. Leave the Gold Saucer and head to the Temple of the Ancients. Get back in the seaplane and head south to the small string of islands. Follow them east and disembark on the beach. Walk to the temple in the forest straight ahead.</div> <bR> <div> Go to the top of the stairs and examine the guy in the black cape. Enter the temple. Talk with Tseng, then place the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Keystone</B></FONT> on the altar. You are now in the temple itself. It's a huge maze. See that guy with the yellow hat? You'll sorta meet him later. Go up and left to the staircase going down. Go down it, and then into the archway above you. Exit and run to the right underneath the staircase to the chest. It contains the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Trident</B></FONT>. Run to the right and climb the vines. Run to the left around the archway and up the stairs heading left. Climb the vines here for a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Mind Source</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> Run down the stairs and enter the archway. Talk to the guy you saw running around before. He'll let you save, buy items, and restore your HP/MP. Get the chest to the right for the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Silver Rifle</B></FONT>. Leave. Climb back down the vines and go left through the archway. Get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Turbo Ether</B></FONT> here, and climb down the stairs to your right. Go left and down more stairs, then climb down the vines and get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Rocket Punch</B></FONT> from the chest. Climb down more stairs, then run right and climb up the vines. Instead of following the guy with the hat to the left, run straight ahead, through the archway, down the stairs on the right, and up the vines on the left. Just on the other side of the bridge is a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Luck Plus</B></FONT> Materia. Now, return to the archway on the left that the old guy when into.</div> <bR> <div> Now for the fun part. You have to time your running here so that you run underneath the big rocks. The open side of the "C" shape has to go over you. If they squish you, you go all the way back to the beginning. Once you pass them, go to the pool. Grab the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Morph</B></FONT> Materia, then continue past more boulders. These ones only roll you to the pool. After this, Aeris runs back to the pool. Watch the scene with Sephiroth. Then run to the right and talk to the old guy. Restore and save, and exit.</div> <bR> <div> Now you get to have fun with the talking clock. You have to line up the hour hand and minute hand so you can walk on them from your current position to one of the other hallways. He gives you three options.</div> <bR> <div> The first, "Move it myself", allows you to move the minute hand yourself fast, either backwards or forwards. This is the best method to use for fine tuning the hands.</div> <bR> <div> The second option, "Spin it", moves the hands around and when you hit the <IMG SRC="2f211110.gif" border=0 width="17" height="17" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> button, they stop three positions after where you hit it. This method is best for moving the hands if they are way off from where you need to go.</div> <bR> <div> The third option lets you walk across. Beware! If the second hand hits you and knocks you off, you have to fight two Ancient Dragons.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="4bd68080.gif" border=0 width="616" height="8" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="4be68100.gif" border=0 width="616" height="16" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>Boss Fight: Ancient Dragon A, Ancient Dragon B</I></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="617" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#000000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#000000" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 149 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="462c88f0.gif" border=0 width="200" height="143" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="403"><div> This is a fairly easy battle.

Enter Bone Village.</div> <bR> <div> Talk to the man standing near the top of the screen.

After you have placed the desired amount, press the <IMG SRC="2d211110.gif" border=0 width="17" height="17" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> button again to detonate the bomb. They will all face the treasure. Simply select the spot that they all turn towards and dig there.</div> <bR> <div> The spot to dig in is on the top level. Climb the ladder and go to the tent stake just above and to the left of the burnt-out fire. If you just can't seem to get the right spot, see <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id39.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="map2"><U>this illustration</U></A></FONT>. The <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Lunar Harp</B></FONT> is here. Note: You cannot get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Key to Sector 5</B></FONT> yet. Now talk to everyone else in town and enter the forest. If you have the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Lunar Harp</B></FONT>, you will get a message that the Sleeping Forest awoke. Otherwise, if you try to continue on, you will return to the same screen.</div> <bR> <div> You can now get the Summon <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Kjata</B></FONT> Materia. On the same screen that gave the last message, stand still for a while. You will see a red object flickering in the trees either to the right or left. Every few seconds it appears on one of the sides. Grab it; it's the Summon <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Kjata</B></FONT> Materia.</div> <bR> <div> Continue north and into the forest. When you come to the pink bush, take the path to the right and under the log to get a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Water Ring</B></FONT>. You'll need it. Now take the left path up and through the log. BTW, learn the Enemy Skill <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Death Sentence</B></FONT> here from the Boundfats (little spiked yellow guys), if you didn't in Cosmo Canyon. It's easy if you <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Manipulate</B></FONT> them. Also, you can learn <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>L4 Suicide</B></FONT> from the Trickplays, if you did not already learn it. Head north to the next screen. Follow the path back to the World Map.</div> <bR> <div> Go north into the big tree. You are now in the Forgotten City. Head up and take the left path to find a save point and a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Magic Source</B></FONT> in the building. Exit the building and enter the cave to the far right. Take the stairs down to the lower level and get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Aurora Armlet</B></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> Return to the first screen where there are the three paths, and this time go up into the tree. Enter the giant shell and go to the top for the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Comet</B></FONT> Materia, which can unleash one of the more powerful attacks in the game. Go back to the main screen and this time choose the path on the right.</div> <bR> <div> Take the first path to the right and enter the house. Climb up to get a <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Guard Source</B></FONT>. Now go back to the path and go up. Enter the next house. Get the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Elixir</B></FONT> from the chest on the right, then climb the ladder to the beds. Choose not to sleep. Grab the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Enemy Skill</B></FONT> Materia hidden behind the top bed, exit the house, and enter again. This time, sleep.</div> <bR> <div> Cloud wakes up and feels something. Go back to the center shell house inside the tree (where you found the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Comet</B></FONT> Materia). Enter and take the blue stairs down. Once you reach the bottom of the stairs, save, because this is a big part in the game. And get ready to restrain yourself from throwing the controller through the TV...</div> <bR> <div> Take the stairs down and to the right. Jump across the logs to Aeris. If you have a problem here, all you have to do is hit left to jump. Run up to Aeris, and try to talk to her. Cloud draws his sword. Try to talk to her again. You can use the D-pad and the <IMG SRC="2fd11110.gif" border=0 width="17" height="17" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> button to try to avoid it, but eventually you have to hit <IMG SRC="2d311110.gif" border=0 width="17" height="17" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> and try to kill Aeris.
