You can only use long-range attacks, so use Barret's attacks and his
Limit Break as well as magic to harm this foe. Poison-based magic
inflicts no damage, while Bolt does the most damage. Red 13 is a
sitting duck if he doesn't have any spell Materia equipped, so be sure
to deck him out with some magic spells (he can still use his Limit
Break). When you inflict enough damage, the boss starts to break down.
After the second collapse, he starts firing heat blasts that damage all
members, so be careful.
_________________________________________________________________________

After killing the boss, you must fight a flying machine.

BOSS TIPS: HELI GUNNER LV: 19 HP: 1000 MP: 0
weak against Lightning

As with the other boss, don't use Bio but do use Bolt. You may be weak
after the last battle, so make use of Potions, the Restore Materia, and
Aeris' B1/1 Break (Healing Wind) to restore lost life. You'll win a
Mythril Armlet when the boss dies.
_________________________________________________________________________

The scene switches back to Cloud. Heal yourself if necessary, equip
Materia, then press Start. Rufus will then attack you. Feel free to
adjust his equipment/Materia if need be before the battle.

_________________________________________________________________________
BOSS TIPS: RUFUS LV: 21 HP: 500 MP: 0
DARK NATION LV: 18 HP: 140 MP: 80

Kill the panther guardian first, then go after the boss. Although you
can't do anything about the panther casting Barrier on Rufus, you can
use magic instead to inflict damage. He can only hurt you with his
shotgun, so don't worry about healing yourself after each round (just
heal yourself when your life gets lower). Sock him with your Limit
Breaks and he'll escape onto the circling helicopter after you've
damaged him enough. Cloud will get a Protect Vest and a Guard Source
when the battle ends.
_________________________________________________________________________

Leave the rooftop and head back to where Tifa is waiting for you. As
Aeris, try to approach the front doors. After a short conversation,
you and the gang will escape by motorcycle (and truck). Your team is
now made up of Cloud, Tifa, and Barret.

An option screen appears where you have the following options:

S Left Attack
X Switch members
O Right Attack
T Main Menu
Start Return to game

Be sure to re-equip Materia before returning to the game!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.10 escape!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEMS IN THIS AREA: Star Pendant.

Use the controller to move any any direction. Pressing S makes you slash
to the left, and pressing O makes you slash to the right. The object
here is to protect your friends in the truck from enemy cyclists.
Eventually, you'll reach a dead end and fight the boss. The amount of
life you start off with during the battle depends on how much life you
and your friends lost during the high-speed escape. If a character lost
all his life, he begins with only 1 point when the battle starts, but
since the boss gets to make the first attack, they'll have to be revived
using Phoenix Downs if there are any party members who survived. The
boss is a spiked, armored robot with six wheels.

_________________________________________________________________________
BOSS TIPS: MOTOR BALL LV: 19 2600 MP: 120
weak against Lightning

This boss gets a free attack from behind...sheesh. Most of his attacks
do little damage, but his Firethrower and flying fire sweep attacks
can kill your party in a single blast (the fire sweep does around 220
damage)! The best way to beat this group is have your party consist of
Aeris and Barret. Give the All and Restore materia to either Cloud or
Barret, and give the other character Lightning. This way, you can heal
with one character, attack with another, and then use Aeris' Limit Break
to keep your life up at all times. Ice works better than Fire against
the boss (for those characters that don't have Lightning equipped).
Remember, your rows are reversed when attacked from behind, so put Cloud
and Barret in the back and Aeris in the front if you want them to line
up properly when the boss shows up (assuming that's who you use...I found
that they worked the best). If you beat the boss, you'll get a Star
Pendant.

3.11 kalm town / chocobo farm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEMS IN THIS AREA: Ether x3, Peacemaker, Guard Source, Choco/Mog
materia, Megalixir

You'll find yourselves outside of the gate after beating the boss (you
could also see this scene by going south from the church where you met
Aeris the first time). Decide who will be in your group, then head
towards the screen to exit and arrive at the World Map (the outside
world).

Kalm Town isn't far from Midgar; you should be able to see it if you
walk north a ways. Go into the inn to see the rest of the gang waiting
for you. Cloud will talk to the others about Sephiroth via a series of
semi-interactive flashbacks:

- You'll start off in a truck being driven by Shinra soldiers. After
talking to the soldiers and Sephiroth (Cloud's former ally in the
Shinra army and now a wanted criminal), the truck will be stopped
by a dragon. You'll have to fight it, but Sephiroth (who is super-
powerful) can kill it in two hits. In the flashback, Cloud's
portrait is different; this 'Young Cloud' is of a low level, but
Sephiroth is so strong that you need not worry about losing battles.
However, you can't control Sephiroth's actions and you can't hurt
him (because of your low level), either. Although Young Cloud comes
equipped with an Pre-emptive materia and Sephiroth has several
mastered materia equipped, you can't take them for your own (although
you can if you use a Game Shark code...see section 14). Also, Young
Cloud and Sephiroth can't use Limit Breaks (because they don't have
any).

- After the battle, you'll end up in Nibelheim, Cloud's hometown.
Talk to Sephiroth and the guards if you wish, then head north.
If you want to look around the town, feel free to, but nothing
you do during this part of the game has an affect on the rest of
your quest (although is does affect the character's questions
and reactions to Cloud's story). One thing you might want to do
is go into Tifa's house (the large building on the 'southeastern'
side of town). You can read her stuff, play the piano (if you
play the 'Highwind' theme, Cloud will act like he remembers it
from somewhere), or even search her closet (hey, they changed
'slightly-stretched underwear' to 'orthopedic underwear'. What's
the big deal? :)) Also note that you can't get Vincent Valentine
during Cloud's flashback because you can't examine the safe :(

- When you're done looking around town, go to the inn and head
upstairs. Talk to Sephiroth and choose to get some sleep.
The next day, talk to Sephiroth and get your picture taken, then
sit back and watch the FMV. When you're in control of Cloud,
head along the bridge and talk to Tifa, then talk to her again
further along the bridge and it will break. After you've
recovered, head northeast into the cave, then keep heading north.
Eventually, you'll arrive at the Jenova plant. Enter it, head
along the beams, then walk onto the wood platform and climb down
the chains and go after Sephiroth. Talk to him in the next area,
examine the chamber to the left of Sephiroth, then talk to him
twice, once to make him move out of the way and once to make Cloud
look inside the chamber. After Sephiroth goes ballistic, you'll
return to Kalm Town. Pick the top option to save your game, or
the bottom option to continue. Cloud's narrative starts off back
at Nibelheim, where he enters the large mansion at the edge of
town.

- Inside, climb the two staircases and head to the right. Enter the
lower door and make your way into the next room; if you examine
the circular part of the stone wall, a passage appears. Enter it
and climb down the spiraling walkway until you reach the bottom;
keep walking from here to find a library. Leave after Sephiroth
finishes talking. After Cloud wakes up, return to the library.
Sephiroth gives a little speech then he exits the mansion; return
to the town square. Try entering the house to your right.

- Back at the Jenova plant, return to the area with the chambers after
witnessing the struggle between Tifa and Sephiroth. Examine Tifa to
carry her out of harm's way, then run up the stairs and enter the
door that Sephiroth opened. After the FMV sequence, Cloud's
flashback ends and you are returned to Kalm Town.

On the second floor of the inn is a cabinet with an item in it that
you can't reach. However if you keep trying to get it, Cloud will
eventually knock the item down, which turns out to be a Megalixir.
That's right, you can get a Megalixir at this early point in the
game, so don't miss it! :)

Note that you have to go to Kalm Town to proceed with the game; you
can't make your way through the Mythril Mines beforehand, although you
can visit the Chocobo Farm if you want to. As for treasure, there's an
Ether in the door beneath the stairs in the house near the inn, another
Ether in the cabinet on the second floor of the house to the right of
that house, and a Peacemaker in the chest on the second floor of the
third house (take the curving stairs). You can also look out of the
window here (a neat little trick). If you take the normal stairs in
the same house, you can get a Guard Source in the cabinet by the little
girl. Finally, in the house on the other side of the town, there is an
Ether in the door beneath the stairs on the north wall of the first
floor. Oh, you'll be given the PHS (Party Hensei System) when you talk
to your allies on the first floor of the inn; it allows you to switch
group members whenever you want, providing that you're in the World Map
or standing on a Save Point (there are a few exceptions to this rule).

Note that in the house to the right of the inn, there's a chest you
can't open on the upper floor. If anyone knows how to unlock it, I'd
love to hear from you.

Leave the town and head east to reach the Chocobo Farm. Talk to the
Chocobo at the front end of the pen and choose the top option to see
the big yellow birds dance; you'll get the Choco/Mog materia afterwards.
Then, talk to Choco Billy (the man with the hat) in the stables behind
the pen. Choose the first option, then the 4th option, then the top
option again. Providing you have 2000 gil to spare, he'll sell you a
Chocobo Lure materia, which lets you attract chocobos to ride.

To catch a chocobo, wander around outside on the chocobo tracks (in
this area of the game, you can meet them on the light patches of
grass, too), until you are attacked. If a chocobo is one of your
opponents, then kill off the other enemies and when the battle ends,
you'll be riding the chocobo. If you attack the chocobo, it will
hurt you and the other enemies, then escape, so you'll have to try
again. Don't forget, you can only fight chocobos if you have the
Chocobo Lure materia equipped. When riding a chocobo, your can move
around normally, and you won't get attacked by enemies. You can press
X to dismount, but if you do this, the Chocobo will run away and you'll
have to catch another one.

A little to the south and directly west of the Chocobo farm is a cave,
but a creeping snake in the marsh before the cave entrance will rise up
to attack you. Instead of trying to kill it now, go get a Chocobo
instead, who can outrun the snake and enter the cave. Yes, you will
still get attacked if the snake touches your chocobo.

Note that you can run across the marsh on foot, but nothing special
happens if you do so (and it's nigh-impossible to pull off without
running into Midgar Zolom).

_________________________________________________________________________
BOSS TIPS: MIDGAR ZOLOM LV: 26 HP: 4000 MP: 348

This boss has two deadly attacks: one is a tail swipe that knocks a team
member off-screen and puts them out of commission for the rest of the
battle. The other one is the Beta enemy skill, which inflicts around
1000-1200 points of damage (which spells instant defeat if your allies
are weak, although you should try to pick up this skill if you have a
Enemy Skill materia equipped). Along with his bite attack, this serpent
can be a tough enemy if you try to fight him earlier in the game. It's
easier if you try to defeat him after you have Cid's airplane, since you
can use Limit Breaks and powerful summon and magic spells to kill it.
Unfortunately, you get a measly amount of EXP, AP, and gil for beating
the boss and what's worse, he reappears when you return to the World
Map, so you're right back where you started.
_________________________________________________________________________

Note that if Midgar Zolom knocks one of your allies off-screen, the
game won't end should the other members be killed; instead, you'll find
yourself standing at the edge of the marsh.

The first time you get across the marsh, you'll see a large snake
impaled on a tree. Just exit the screen to continue playing. Also, if
you get off your chocobo while on the patch of grass before the mine
entrance, he'll stay there in case you need to return to the farm (this
doesn't seem to happen all the time--I don't know why). If you're
strong enough, you can get to the Mythril Mines without ever having to
go to the Chocobo Farm.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.12 mithril mine / junon town
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEMS IN THIS AREA: Ether, Tent, Long Range materia, Mind Source x2,
Elixir, Power Wrist, Shiva materia, Grenade or
Potion x6 or Ether x6, Enemy Skill materia, 1/35
soldier x2, Luck Source, Power Source, Guard Source,
Speed Plus Source, Silver Glasses or HP Plus or
Force Stealer.

Inside the Mythril Mine, head northeast to find a green Ether on the
stone steps. In the chest is a Tent, so be sure to grab it. If you try
climbing up the brown vine on the western rock face, you'll find a purple
materia (Long Range). Climb back down, return to the first area, then
head left. Make your way southeast to find a chest with a Mind Source
inside, then head west to reach the next area.

Here, you'll run into some of the Turks again: Rude, Elena, and Tseng.
Once they leave, walk north. There's a chest with a Elixir inside it
and a Hi-Potion just to the north of the chest. Return to the area
where you met the Turks, climb up the vine, and go through the door to
exit the mine and return to the World Map. From now on, you can meet
Yuffie in the forests and have her join you (refer to section 8 for
details).

Nearby is a rocky outcropping with a huge bird statue atop it, the Condor
Fort. Enter it and choose the second option when talking to the man out
front. After climbing up the rope, you'll find yourself in a town built
into the rock itself. There is a Save Point, item shop, bedroom (you can
sleep for free), and Materia shop here. Talk to everyone. There's also
a mini-battle you can fight here. When you're done, leave and go
northwest through the forest to Junon Town by the shore. For
information on fighting the battles in the mini-game, refer to section
7.6 (Having Fun).

Once you arrive at Junon, talk to the villagers, then go down the stairs
to the shore. Here, a young girl named Priscilla is playing with a
dolphin. Out of nowhere, a big flying boss shows up and attacks her,
then your party.

_________________________________________________________________________
BOSS TIPS: BOTTOMSWELL LV: 23 HP: 2500 MP: 100
weak against Wind
WATERPOLO LV: 5 HP: 40 MP: 0

There's not much to worry about; just attack with Lightning or Poison-
based spells and keep your life up. Since this guy's flying, some
characters can't attack him (like Tifa), while some can (Barret). Find
out which guys should be casting magic and which should be attacking
early on in the battle. On the other hand, if you have a Long Range
Attack materia handy, equip it, since that will let you attack the boss.
Sometimes, the boss puts an HP-reducing bubble around a character. It
only disappears if you cast a magic spell upon it (this won't hurt the
'bubbled' person). If you have the Affect All materia, you can use this
to cast a spell on the bubbled person and the boss at the same time.
Before dying, the boss will attack with Big Wave, (he can do this
normally, but always does one before he disappears) so watch out and make
sure your HP is high enough to withstand an attack. You'll receive a
Power Wrist when the battle is over.
_________________________________________________________________________

After killing the boss, you'll have to revive Priscilla. To do this,
watch the lung-shaped meter that appears in the upper right. Press
the S button once to make the meter start to raise. Just as it reaches
the top, press S again to make Cloud breathe into the girl's mouth.
It will take a couple of tries, but don't sweat it; she can't die.
Afterwards, go to the house near the entrance to town and talk to the old
lady standing there. Decide to stay the night.

That evening, Cloud will have another bad dream. In the morning, leave
and go to the house above the stairs (your friends will have gathered
near it). Priscilla will give you the Shiva materia, a gift for saving
her life. Follow her to the shore, then talk to her a second time.
Barret will show up and the girl will keep talking; when you have the
chance, choose the middle option. Your goal in this part of the game is
to leap atop the iron beam above the electrical tower so that you can
sneak into the heart of Junon Town. Your controls are:

X Swim faster
S Makes the dolphin flip you into the air

If you get to close to the electric blasts traveling along the tower,
you'll get shocked and will have to try again (just pick the second
option). The easiest way to get up there is to simply not move and
press S. The dolphin will miss and deposit you near the bottom of
the screen. However, you'll be perfectly positioned, so if you press
S again, Cloud will land on the beam. Once you're on it, head to the
left to get a good view of the flying airship 'Highwind'. Make your
way south (towards the 'front' of the screen) to continue once you've
climbed up the ladder.
