3. WALKTHROUGH - DISC ONE
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(Note that the beginning of this game has been altered somewhat from the
FF7 demo disc packaged with Tobal No. 1 and other FF7 demos.)
=========================================================================
a. MAKORO POWER PLANT
=========================================================================
ITEMS IN THIS AREA: Potion x3, Phoenix Tail, Recovery materia,
Assault Gun.
At the start of the game, you'll have 3 Potions, a Phoenix Tail, and an
Ether. You can't equip Materia until you reach section 3b, by the way.
Once you leave the train, check the body of the closest guard twice to
get two Potions. Then head north. You'll be attacked by some guards.
Take them out with your sword (you may win a Potion for killing them)
and then move left to go outside. Now, talk to your teammates (Biggs,
Wedge, and Jesse), then name yourself and Barett. Make your way to the
northwestern door, and head up in the next room to enter the heart of
the power plant.
Talk to Barett, (who joins you) and then talk to each Avalanche member
to open the doors. After opening the second door, head right to enter
another chamber with a treasure chest (Phoenix Tail). Then, go back
and enter the elevator (you'll have to talk to Jesse first). Press the
arrow switch to activate it.
Work your way down to stairs and go through the door to the left. Then
follow Jesse down the ladder. When he stops, search the area in front
of him for a Potion (it's hard to see because of the steam). Climb
down the cross the pipes, descend the nearby ladder, and take note of
the Save Point before heading down the walkway.
Pick up the Recovery materia on the ground in the next area and set the
bomb. An alarm will sound and you'll have to fight the boss, a huge
scorpion-like machine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS TIPS: GAADOSUKOOPION (Guard Scorpion) LV: ?? HP: 800 MP: 0
Cloud's Sandaa magic works well. Don't worry about the boss' infinity-
symbol-shaped ray and have Barett attack. When you've done enough
damage, the boss will start to shake and Cloud will talk to Barett. From
this point onward, don't attack the boss and heal yourself or simply
guard until the boss attacks you. If you try to hurt it during this
time, the boss responds with a damaging laser ray shot from his tail. A
few more hits after it stops shaking and the boss dies. You'll get an
Assault Gun when you kill it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You now have ten minutes to escape from the power plant. You'll need
to make your way back to the upside-down T-shaped entrance hall where
one of the Avalanche members is waiting. (If you've played the demo
disc, know that you don't need to 'search' for the other members; just
talk to the one member waiting for you at the top of the stairs and
ladders to make him jump over you and then get out. Since Barett gets
a new gun after the battle, be sure to equip it. Also, talk to the
other members to open the two doors on your way back.
=========================================================================
b. MIDGAR CITY
=========================================================================
ITEMS IN THIS AREA: Potion.
After the Avalanche members blow up the passage, head up the stairs.
You'll meet Aerith here, but she won't join you yet. Since Barett's
gone, you'll have to fight the enemies here alone. There's a Potion.
to the southwest of the circular structure (near the lampposts). Walk
south. In this next part, you'll meet up with guards and have the
choice of running (bottom choice) or fighting (top choice). After a
few more encounters, Cloud'll jump onto the passing train and run into
the Avalanche gang. After talking to them, walk to the 'front' of the
screen and you'll jump off into another area. Talk to the people here
and one of the members (Jesse) will show you a picture of the Makoro
plant on the train's screen. Approach Barett and you'll end up going
to the group's base.
=========================================================================
c. AVALANCHE BASE
=========================================================================
ITEMS IN THIS AREA: 1500 gil, Affect All materia, Ether.
Head west and go upwards. Talk to the kid by the fence, then head west
again (there's a Save Point nearby, too). Talk to the people here,
then check out the bar. At the top of the tallest building in the south-
east is a bedroom. The kid here will let you spend the night for 10 gil.
In the bar, you'll meet Tifa, who is also a member of Avalanche, as well
as Marin, who is supposedly Barett's daughter. After naming Tifa, Barett
shows up when you try to leave and reveals the hidden base underneath the
bar. Talk to Tifa, and then when you meet Barett the next morning, he'll
give you 1500 gil. You'll also find that there is another Save Point in
the second floor of the tall building, inside the huge cage. The man in
the right corner of this room has a Materia by his feet (Affect All).
Take it and a chest will drop down that has an Ether inside of it. You
can learn about the game's mechanics from the people in here (if you know
Japanese, that is :)) If you check the Main Menu, you'll see that you
can use Materia at this point, and that Tifa has joined your party. In
addition, the two buildings that were locked the other day are now open.
When you're ready, go back to the train station to prepare for
Avalanche's next mission. If you like, you can go to the far right to
enter a train yard, but there's not much of interest there.
=========================================================================
d. RETURN TO THE MAKORO PLANT
=========================================================================
ITEMS IN THIS AREA: Ether x2, Potion, Tent, Titanium Bangle.
Board the train. When the timer appears after you talk to Tifa, go
through each train car until Tifa jumps off one of the cars and you and
Barett follow her. You'll end up in an underground railroad passageway.
If you go south (towards the 'front' of the screen), you'll go through
the same screen 5-6 times before coming to two guards who you can fight.
When the battle's over, choose the bottom option to keep fighting or the
top option to run away. You can fight the same battle over and over,
so when you get tired of fighting, just pick the top option. An OK place
to gain some experience, gil, and AP, if you think you'll need it.
Anyway, it's a lot faster to just head north to where the green barrier
is and go down the hatch to the west (examine it and choose the top choice
twice). Pick up the Ether in the adjoining passage, climb down the
two ladders, and talk to the Avalanche member in this area. Then go
up the ladder near him to reach a room where Jesse is waiting for you.
Take the Potion that's next to him and climb down the ladder on the
left end of the room to reach a chamber where you can find a Tent, a
Save Point, and Biggs.
Go up the ladder here to reach the Makoro Plant. The room you're in
should be familiar. Slide down the pipe and then work your way back to
the heart of the plant (where you set the bomb last time). After Cloud
fiddles with the machinery, go back to the large room and climb up the
stairs and into the elevator. This time, you'll ride it to a new floor.
Grab the contents of the treasure chest (Ether) and then head to the
left where there are three control panels. You'll need to hit your
panel as the same time Barett and Tifa hit theirs (using the O button),
so give it a shot. Instead of waiting for them to raise their arms,
you'll have an easier time if you time it to hit your panel _just_
before they do. You can't use the panels if you didn't go back to the
heart of the power plant. Afterwards, go through the opened gate
(there's a Save Point here), and head north.
In the T-shaped room, you'll be stopped by a group of guards, and then
meet the president of Shinra. After that, a helicopter and a hydrofoil-
like machine show up. The Shinra president leaves in the helicopter,
but the huge machine attacks you and your friends.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS TIPS: EABASUTAA (Air Buster) LV: 15 HP: 1200 MP: 0
This machine turns to face (and attack) whomever hits him. So, if one of
your characters is low on life, have the person on the opposite side
attack to draw the boss' attention away. Be especially careful of his
shockwave pounce--it causes tons of damage (but also increases your
Limit meter quickly). Remember that even if his back is turned, he can
use a weak machine gun attack on you. Use potions and the Recovery
Materia to keep up your HPs and use Thunder as well as your Limit Break
attacks to take this machine out. You'll receive a Titanium Bangle if
you win the battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
=========================================================================
e. MAKORO CITY SLUMS
=========================================================================
ITEMS IN THIS AREA: Potion, Phoenix Tail, Protect materia, Ether.
After the battle, the boss will explode, sending Cloud off the walkway
in the ensuing blast. When you awake, you'll find yourself in a church.
Aerith is here, and you can name her after talking to her several times.
Reno (of the Turks, a group of hired thugs that are currently employed
by the Shinra) shows up afterwards with some guards. In the next room,
Aerith falls down while trying to escape with Cloud. You now have the
option of fighting the guards using Aerith or trying to bean the guards
on the head with barrels on the upper floor (if you miss, you'll have to
fight using Aerith anyway). Remember, she starts off in the back row,
so to increase damage, make her move up by choosing 'Change' at the
start of each battle (do this by pressing left, then the O button).
The correct order of barrels to drop is: the leftmost barrel (in the
back), the far right barrel (in the back), and the far right barrel
(in the front). Simply examine each barrel and choose the top option
to drop it. This way, Aerith won't have to fight anybody. When
Aerith meets you at the top of the chapel, she'll hook up with Cloud.
In the next room, climb up the second beam on the left and jump out of
the hole in the roof. After you and Aerith make it back to ground level,
head left to find a Save Point. To the northwest is a town. Be sure to
meet the man in the pipe near the entrance. There are several stores
here, including one that sells Materia. To the far, far right is a path
that leads to Aerith's house and a garden. You can spend the night here
once you've met Erumina, Aerith's mother. The next morning, look between
the desk and the bed for a Potion and a Phoenix Tail. Then, sneak
downstairs (or Aerith will make you go back to bed) and leave the house
(you can do this by not touching the walls and not running, either). In
the lower flower bed to the right, you can get a Protect materia and an
Ether. There's another Save Point near her house if you need to use it.
Leave the town and go left to the hole in the wall. Aerith will be here
waiting for you and will rejoin you. In the next location, work your
way upward (by going across the hole-filled metal length, then down the
iron beams and through the passage, then up the brown pipe and finally
down the stairs and heading to the left). After Aerith leaves you at the
playground, head right, then up to arrive at the Wall Market.
=========================================================================
f. WALL MARKET
=========================================================================
ITEMS IN THIS AREA: Ether, Phoenix Tail, Stimulant.
Aerith rejoins you (again) here. There's a Save Point in the upper-right
part of the village. The building in the lower left is an inn, where you
can spend the night for 10 gil. To the right of it is the entrance to a
brothel. The building in the middle has nothing in it but a computer.
(If you touch it, a machine gun will fire at you and Cloud jumps away.
You can't do anything here until later). Just above that building is an
item shop. North of the shop is a sushi bar. Finally, there is a
clothing store to the upper left and some sort of pottery store to the
upper right. A path by the clothing store leads to another part of town.
Here, there is a gym, a restaurant, and a weapon shop. In the northern
area lies a large building. If you go east from here, you'll reach a
dead-end area.Your objective in this part of the game is to sneak into the large
building where Tifa is being kept. To do this, Cloud will have to
dress up as a woman in order to get inside since men aren't allowed
into the building. So, follow these steps to get the items you need
to 'alter' Cloud's appearance. You may want to read this entire
section before starting so that you'll know how your choices will
affect the game.
a) Go to the brothel and talk to the big guy with silver hair who's
chatting with the bouncer at the door. Talk to him and pick the
first option to inquire about Tifa.
b) Go back to the building at the end of town and talk to the guy
near the door. Aerith and Cloud will move away and have a
short conversation.
c) Return to the first screen, go to the clothing store, and talk to
the store owner by standing near the bottom edge of the counter.
d) Go to the bar in the second screen and talk to the lone man by the
door. During the conversation, you'll have to make two decisions.
So when you're asked a question, pick either the first or second
choice. After you're done talking to the man, return to the
clothing store.
e) At the store, you'll see that the man from the inn is now behind
the counter. Talk to him and you'll receive an item based upon
your decisions:
- If you answered: first choice, first or second choice, you'll
get the Kotton no Doresu (Cotton Dress).
- If you answered: second choice, first choice, you'll be given
the Saten no Doresu (Satin Dress).
- If you answered: second choice, second choice again, he'll give
you the Shiruke no Doresu (Silk Dress).
f) Cloud will try on the dress, but won't actually wear it. Leave
the clothing store and go to the second screen. Enter the gym
and converse with the woman by the fighting ring. When you
have the chance, pick the bottom option twice. As soon as you
clear her message with the O button, start pressing the S, X,
and O buttons repeatedly in that order. The object of the game
is to go fast enough to make Cloud do more squats than the
African gymnast, but you don't want to press the buttons too
fast or Cloud can't keep up. It's not too hard to win since
the other guy will often stop to scratch his head, but you only
have 30 seconds, so get in as many squats as you can.
- If you are able to do more squats than the gymnast, you'll be
given the Burondo no Katsura (Blonde Wig).
- If you and the gymnast have the same score, the lady will give
you the Cyapatsu no Katsura (?? Wig).
- If the gymnast does better than you, then the lady will give
you the Kuzege no Katsura (?? Wig).
At this point, you can just return to the clothing shop and enter the
stall; Cloud will dress up as a woman and you can return to the north
building to get inside. You can also choose to not change yet and
explore more of the Wall Market, picking up items that you can use to
make Cloud more 'feminine'. If you're finished, then skip down a ways
to find out what to do next. Otherwise, keep reading.
g) Go to the pottery shop. When you have to choose an answer, pick
the top one twice. (You can't talk to him unless you chatted with
the guard at the north building). Then go to the inn and pay 10 gil
to spend the night. In the middle of the night, you'll find
yourself in front of the vending machine in the outer hallway. Pick
any option (I hope you have enough gil). The next morning, return
to the pottery shop and talk to the man to get an item:
- If you bought the first item (200 gil), he'll give you the
Daiya no Tiara (Diamond Tiara).
- If you bought the second item (100 gil), he'll give you the
Rubii no Tiara (Ruby Tiara).
- If you bought the third item (50 gil), he'll give you the
Garasu no Tiara (Glass Tiara).
h) Enter the sushi bar and walk past the empty seat. When a message
appears, choose the top option. Then choose any option, (you'll
need 70 gil), followed by the middle choice to get a Kuupon
(Coupon). Now go to the item store and talk to the man behind
the counter. Choose one of the three options to get an item,
then head back to the restaurant. Go to the bathroom and talk to
the person inside. Accept the first choice and:
- You'll get the Koron (Cologne) if you traded the Coupon for the
first-choice item at the item shop.
- You'll get the Furawaa Koron (Flower Cologne) if you traded the
Coupon for the second-choice item at the item shop.
- You'll get the Sekushii Koron (Sexy Cologne) if you traded the
Coupon for the third-choice item at the item shop.
i) Talk to the large man in the white shirt who's standing near the
edge of the screen to get the Kaado (Card). He won't give it to
you unless you talked to the guard by the door of the northern
building. Head right to arrive at the brothel. If you talk to
the bouncer, he'll let you in once he sees the Card, but Aerith
refuses to enter. Inside the brothel, you'll find that the doors
on the right side are locked, but if you chose the bottom option,
you can look inside them and peer around using the control pad and
the O button. If you look in the upper-right keyhole, you'll see a
familiar face...a small version of Cait Sith! If you go to the
north room and talk to the farthest girl on the right several times,
you can choose the top option to make her dance faster and faster.
You now have two choices: you can only do one or the other. They are:
Examine the lower-left door and pick the top option twice. In the
room, talk to the girl and pick the top option three times to take
a soak with Mukkii and his friends. Answer however you like while
in the tub and Cloud will be given the Bikini Pantsu (Bikini Pants).
Or, examine the upper-left door and pick the top option twice.
Inside, talk to the ghostly Cloud near the stone tub and Cloud
will have a psychotic episode. When you come to, all your HP
and MP is restored, thanks to...Mukkii :( Talk to him and choose
the bottom option. Then talk to the girl and you'll get the
Ranjerii (Lingerie).
All done? There's nothing left to do now but return to the clothing
store and dress up as a woman. When you finish, go to the large building
in the north and talk to the man by the food carts again. He'll let you
into a posh-looking parlor. Now, go up the stairs and into the door on
the far left after talking to the receptionist. Then, go down the
staircase to the torture room (!) where you'll find Tifa and an Ether by
the smoldering coals. Once she's joined you, head back up the stairs
and go into the middle door. Inside is Tifa's kidnapper, the nefarious
Don Corneo. He will examine each of you when you try to approach him.
Who he picks for his 'friend' is determined by what items you collected
in the Wall Market:
