When you enter the tunnels, continue south until you reach a junction that has the number 2 on the wall. You will find a chest containing <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>W-Item</B></FONT>. </div> <bR> <div> Now for the tricky part. Have anyone equip it, and get into a battle. Go down to the item selection (which now reads "W-Item") to use two items. First of all, you must have two of an item to duplicate it. Select any item,  then select who to use it on. Now choose that item again. STOP! Now, before you choose someone to use it on, press the Cancel button. Notice that you now have an extra <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Elixir</B></FONT>! Continue to do this on the same turn, selecting the same item and canceling, until you reach 99.</div> <bR> <div> Two advantages of this wonderful cheat are:</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Get a lot of AP!

All your allies will be level 99! (I am not sure if this actually works, but it's worth a try!) Of course, no FF7 veteran would dare do this.

A real estate agent is selling the former Shinra President's vacation home for the low price of 300,000 gil. If you buy it, you can rest for free.

These things are extremely useful!  South of Cosmo Canyon is a small island not visible on your map, full of little green guys called Cactuars. When you find one, take off about 5800 HP (it has about 6000), then use Morph on it. If it doesn't work, just try again. When it eventually works, you will receive a Tetra Elemental.
