---------Part 1: Complete Walkthrough---------

Event 1: Mako Industrial Complex

After watching in CG intro you will be in the game. Jump off the train and 
follow Barrett and the
Avalanche resistance team. You will meet up with everyone at a gate. Biggs will 
ask for your
name. Name Cloud (In this guide I will call the characters by their default 
name) The Avalanche
will open the gate. Follow them. Barrett will stop you and say that he doesn't 
trust you. You now
get to name Barrett. Follow all of the Avalanch to the security gate. Talk to 
Biggs, and he will
open the gate. Follow Jesse to the elevator. Biggs will tell you how to maneuver 
around the
complex. Talk to him if you need help. You will find yourself in the core level 
of the complex in a
little. Cloud will set a bomb at the reactor. You will run into the first boss 
now. 

************************************
Boss Strategy-Red Scorpion
************************************
-Concentrate on regular attacks and Lightning magic.
-When the scorpion's tail is raised, he will counter
attack if you attack him. However, when he counter
attacks, your limit meter will rise, making you unleash
some great attacks if you want.
-If you need healed, use some potions.
(This isn't too hard, and it should be a short fight.
************************************

 After the battle, you have 10 minutes to escape the complex (Including 
battles). Keep running 
out the way that you came. Make your way all the way back, and talk to everyone 
you can, because 
they have the access codes to the doors you came in. You should be able to get 
out in about 5 
minutes. This is where to use your magic, so you can escape easily. After you 
escape, you will be 
rewarded with a CG sequence of the Complex blowing up. Barrett will tell 
everyone to meet at the 
train station.

Event 2: Avalanche Headquarters

You will run into Aerith for the first time on your way. She is the one that is 
selling flowers. When
you talk to Aerith, say:

1. Nothing happened
2. That you would like a flower for 1 Gil.

By doing this, you will unlock a special sequence in the bar later. Proceed 
through the Area 8
city. You will have a choice to confront the guards or not. It is good to fight 
these guys, because 
they give pretty good experience that you might need later. You will escape with 
another CG
showing you fleeing the station. You will be informed of Avalanche's involvement 
on the train.
You will jump off of the train and get to Agito. Go to the bar and meet 
Barrett's daughter and talk
to Tifa. Answer "Not this time" and she will complement you on your maturity. 
You name Tifa
now, and you get to decide to give your flower to Tifa or Barrett's daughter. It 
doesn't matter who
you choose. Go to the exit of the bar, and you will enter the HQ under the 
Pinball machine. You
will tell Barrett that you are not interested in Shinra or Avalanche. Barret and 
Tifa will urge you to
be in the Avalanche. Be prepared for a flashback sequence. Cloud made a promise 
with Tifa
long ago. Barret will come in with Cloud's pay. And because of Cloud's promise, 
Cloud accepts
the next mission. Barret will ask about Materia Orbs. Explain to him how they 
work, buy items in
the town, and it's of to Area 5-Mako Industrial Complex.

Event 3: Area 5

You will be on the train again. You need to run from car to car in a given 
amount of time. Leap
from the train into the tunnels. You can get a few items by talking to guys 
along your way, and one 
guy will take something, but by talking to him you can take that item back. 
Hurry along through the 
cars and you will get to the walkway. You will find a small hole leading to Area 
5. Go in and be ready 
for battle. The enemies here are a little stronger than before. Battle all of 
the monsters and get to
the reactor. A flashback will hit Cloud. Plant the bomb, and follow Tifa into 
the controls center.
You have to push a button at the same time as Barrett. Keep trying this until 
you can do it,
because you have unlimited time. It will open a gate which you need to enter. 
You are surrounded 
by guards on a bridge, and you meet the president of Shinra. You will have to 
fight a boss now. 

***************************
Boss Strategy-Air Buster
***************************
-Limit Break attacks do the most damage.
-Hitting Air Buster in the back will increase
the damage done by a lot. Try to keep your
best attacks hitting him in the back.
-Lightning magic also works well here. 
-Make sure someone has the Restore-All
combination of materia.
-After you beat him, you get a Titan Bangle.
***************************

After beating Air Buster, Cloud falls unto a ledge and falls into the city 
below. Barret and Tifa escape. 
When Cloud wakes up, he is in Aerith's church where she is growing flowers.

Event 4: Meeting Aerith

You will awaken in a slum. Keep talking to Aerith and tell her you remember her. 
You get to name
her now. Aerith requests that you will be her bodyguard, and that you get a date 
with her later. 
Tseng enters the church, trying to kidnap Aerith. You have to try to get away, 
so he can't succeed.
Head to the top of the chapel. Aerith will fall and you will be by some barrels. 
Tell Aerith to hold on
each time she asks. The order for pushing the barrels is: the left most barrel 
in the back, the far right 
barrel in the back, then the far right barrel in the front, and the remaining 
barrel. You will escape with 
Aerith through the roof. Go to the northeast to Aerith's Cottage. Cloud says he 
needs to go to Area 
7. Go upstairs and rest. You have to escape without Aerith because Cloud thinks 
it is too dangerous 
for her. Walk across the floor and you will be on your way. Leave Area 5 slum 
and Aerith will be
waiting for you at the entrance to Area 6. You will see a sequence of Cloud and 
Aerith at a playground. Now a caravan comes with Tifa. Follow Aerith to the slum 
town. 

Event 4: The Slums

Buy any items that you need here. Go southeast to the women club and talk to the 
manager. Ask
him if he knows where Aerith is. He will tell you to visit the mansion to the 
north. Go to the
mansion and talk to the security guard. Only females can enter the mansion. Head 
to the clothing
shop to the west side of town. The owners son will tell you to go to the bar. Go 
there and talk to
his father. He will eventually make a dress for you. You get to decide from 3 
dresses which one
you want. To get the best dress, chose that you want "Something that feels soft" 
and "Something 
that shimmers". Go to the clothing shop again and the owner will have made your 
dress. Now you 
need a wig. Go to the gymnasium below the weapon shop. The women will give you 
the wig if you 
face her brother in a fitness match. Press Square to kneel, X to stand up, and 
Circle to bend over.
You have to keep a constant pattern to win. You will get the wig even if you 
loose. Winning the 
little game will get you the Blonde wig, however, and losing will get you the 
regular Wig. Go to the
clothing store again. Go to the dressing room and change your clothes. 

Note: Here you have some choices to get some more items for Cloud. The more you 
get, the better 
    the chances are of Corneo picking him.

Sexy Cologne: Go to the bar and talk to the lady in the bathroom. She is sick, 
and you must try to get
    some medicine for her. Go to the local restaurant and buy any meal. You will 
get a coupon after eating.
    Take this coupon to the Pharmacy and exchange it for the Digestive. Take the 
Digestive to the lady 
    in the bar and she will give you the Sexy Cologne.

Tiara: Go to the Materia shop. The man asks Cloud for a favor. Listen to it, and 
head to the Inn. When 
    staying, pay for the most expensive item (200 Gil). Take this item back to 
the Materia shop owner and 
    if you bought the most expensive item, he will give you the Diamond Tiara. 
If you bought the 100 Gil 
    item, he will give you the Ruby Tiara. If you bought the 50 Gil item, he 
will give you the Glass Tiara.

Undergarment and Make-up:  Head down buy the entrance to the Honey Bee Inn. Talk 
to the man, and
    he will give you the members card so you can get into the Honey Bee Inn. You 
can only take one of
    two rooms to do your "activities". You can get the Bikini Briefs if you 
choose the Group Room, or the
    Lingerie if you choose the &$#% room. It doesn't matter which one of these 
you choose. Go into the 
    room that you would like, talk through everything, and you will get the item 
you need. After you are
    done getting this item, go into the north room, and ask the girl to the far 
left to put make-up on you.

Cloud should have everything he needs now to get chosen by Don Corneo. 

Go to the mansion. You will get to go in. Go downstairs and find Tifa. She will 
tell you to go to Corneo's room. Corneo will choose one of your members to be 
his women. He will choose the members according 
to what dress you have. You will be in Corneo's bedroom and he will tell you 
about the Shinra's plan.
You will see a Shinra sequence. Right when you land, you have to fight the boss, 
Aps.

*******************************
Boss Strategy-Aps
*******************************
-The best thing to use in this battle is Fire
magic. 
-One of Aps's attacks, Sewer Tsunami, does
damage to everything, including Aps himself.
-It is not hard to beat Aps, just use Cloud's 
Cross Slash if he has it, and Limit Breaks from 
the other characters.
*******************************

After you beat Aps, you will have to go through all of the sewers. Make sure 
your allies are all 
healed. Fighting here for awhile can get you some good experience, so here might 
be a good time 
to gain some levels. After fighting for awhile, make sure to grab the Steal 
Materia, and equip it on 
someone, preferably Tifa. After you exit the sewers, you'll be in a Train 
Graveyard. Getting the items 
laying on top of the trains and in the barrels will help. Make your way up the 
first large train, jump 
to the bottom, and go around to the middle hall. Go inside the train, and exit 
out the other end. Go up 
toward another part of the Graveyard. In this area, there is an enemy named 
Eligor, and by stealing from 
him, you can get the Striking Staff, the best weapon for Aerith in this point of 
the game. Make sure to 
get one of these, as it will help you. You must make your own path to the exit 
of the Graveyard by going 
in the different trains. Go over the bridge and into the next area.

Event 5: Battling in Area 7

You will find Barrett and the Avalanche already in battle. Go through to the top 
of the tower and 
you will find Barret fighting up there. You will now have to fight Reno.

*******************************
Boss Strategy-Reno
*******************************
-Be careful, as Reno's magic will sometimes 
stun your allies. To get them unstunned, you 
must attack them or wait it out. 
-Fire and Ice magic work well here, as do your
character's Limit Breaks.
-Reno will run away after you hit him hard enough.
*******************************

Reno will leave and you can't save Area 7. You will see a CG clip and Area 7 
will be destroyed. 
Barrett goes ballistic because of his anger that Avalanche members have died and 
he could have 
lost his daughter, and the other Avalanche members. Go to Aerith's house and 
hear the rest of the 
story.

Event 7: Shinra

You will find Aerith's mother and she will explain to you about Shinra. Go 
upstairs to Barret. He
will tell you he thinks Aerith likes you. You get to accept the decision or not.

downstairs. Go to the north slums follow the children running from a fight. Ask 
them what they
are doing. Go to the pipe behind and follow it to the upper levels of Midgar. 
Climb the pipe up
and it won't work. Now you have to climb down and buy a battery. Buy 3 of them. 
Now use the
batteries in the battery outlets. You have to do some hard jumps with the Circle 
button. You will
eventually reach the top. Aerith is probably trapped in one of the upper levels.

what you are doing
here. Don't answer him and you get the key to level 62. This floor has different 
color rooms. Talk
to Domino and he will give you the keys if you can give him the password. It's 
random, so I can't
tell you what it is. You can get hints in the colored rooms' bookshelves and 
paying the man
outside the door. If you get it right the first time, he will give you a 
Materia. Go to the staircase
and go to floor 63. You can get a Materia if you solve the puzzle here. You can 
only open 3
doors and you have to find 3 coupons. If you find the shortest route put them in 
the computer and
you get some special items. Go to floor 64. Save and heal your characters. Go to 
floor 65. You

Aerith in control
now. Take the elevator down to the robot boss. You get to control Cloud again.

and you will laugh at her falling down the mountain. The town has now been 
placed under Shinra
guards. Go in the little house in the center of town and talk to the boy. He 
will give you a
snowboard. You can now snowboard down the hill. This part is pretty long, but in 
my opinion one
of the funnest parts in the game. You can do tricks by doing different presses 
of the buttons off of
jumps. Collect as many items as you can. When you get to the bottom, get your 
map and go to
the red spot on it. Touch the steaming lakes and there is Materia here. You will 
eventually pass
out. Talk to the old man and he will tell you how to climb the cliff. Sleep and 
then climb. Make
sure your body temperature is higher than 25 degrees, or you will have to start 
all over. If you
press the Square button, Cloud will run in place and you will generate body 
heat. You will
eventually find a cave. Go into it. Push the first rock to reveal a path. Go in 
it. Follow the
passage and you must break the four icicles. (In combat) A bridge will appear in 
the room below
if you do it. Go out and fight the boss. Use normal attacks on his left arm and 
magic attacks on
his right to kill him. When you get to the top of the mountain, enjoy the CG 
sequence. Follow the
path to the crater. Tifa will join if she is not already in your party. Continue 
on the path and go
north. Time your movements through the barriers and you will run into Sephiroth.

Event 21: The Meteor and the Shinra

You have to defeat a boss here. You will get the Black Materia. You give it to 
Red XIII since you
lose control. Pass through the final barrier. This part is really awesome...the 
game takes many
twists here. You are in control of Tifa now. In the Shinra Air base, Junon, talk 
to Barrett and a
series with Rufus will show that you are in trouble. Follow the guards out of 
the room, and go to
the conference. Go to the gas chamber door. You will see and cool CG. Run to the 
corridors and
look for help. In the upper level Yuffie will be in a disguise. Follow Cait Sith 
to the airship. You
switch over to control Tifa, and you must get her free. Press the buttons in 
this order: X, X,
Triangle, X+Triangle, Triangle+Circle, Circle. Turn off the gas and look for the 
door out. Go to
the edge of the cannon, and now a sequence of Tifa and Scarlet will follow. 
Quickly tap Circle
button to slap her faster. You will see another CG and you will go on your 
Airship.

Event 22: Yuffie and her Family

Go to the main control and talk to everyone. Red XIII will tell you to go to 
Mideel, on a small
island to the southeast, but if you have Yuffie, head back to her hometown. Go 
back to the town
of Wutai and go to the temple to the northwest. You have to battle through 5 
floors of it, by
yourself. You have to battle your father later. If you beat all of the bosses, 
your objective is done.
Go to the village of Mideel.

Event 23: The Shinra Train

Explore the town, and you will find your lost friend soon. He is different, and 
Tifa will stay with
him. Go back to the airship and into the control room. Fly the airship to the 
Mako Refinery to the
North of the Gold Saucer. Head across the railroad tracks and fight all of the 
battles. You will
have 10 minutes to catch up with the train. You have to press Triangle in a 
timely maneuver to
catch up with it. When you catch it you will jump out to their train. Fight 
everyone you can on the
way to the engine. Make the Engine in time and you get a HUGE Materia, so if you 
don't get
there in time, reset the game. Board the Airship and go to Condor Fort.

Event 24: The Chase and Mideel

Talk to the guard outside and tell him you will assist him. Talk to everyone 
inside and gather all
of the info. You have to destroy the army going up the hill. Use more of the 
weapons at the
bottom of the hill. If you win you get another Huge Materia, and grab the 
Phoenix Summon
Materia on the way out. Go on the airship and head to Mideel. Search all of the 
shops and buy all
that you need. If you have the Mimett Greens give it to the small white Chocobo. 
Give it the food,
pet it's ears, and it will give you a Materia. Go to the weapon shop and look at 
the locked door.
Search behind the old man and you will find a Rusty Key. Use the key on the door 
and the store
owner will eventually give you the Ring of the Cursed. Go to the hospital and 
talk to Tifa. Go
outside and battle the Ultimate Weapon. This boss is very hard. After you beat 
it, the whole city
will fall apart, and Cloud and Tifa will fall into the lifestream.

Event 25: Cloud's Mind and the Final Search

Work your way through the different sequences that represent Cloud's life. You 
will eventually
return to the airship. Go back to Junon and enter the base. Go to the main 
street and follow the
gray path. You will work your way to the underwater base. You will find many 
enemies and a
boss. Head towards the submarine. Get every treasure that you see, because one 
has a item
you will need later. Go to the control room in the Sub, and you will be in an 
underwater shooter!
You have to destroy all of the submarines on your radar. Avoid all of the 
missiles and mines. After
you win, you will find out that Shinra took the final Huge Materia to Rocket 
Village. Search the
ocean floor for the red sub that you killed. Grab the Materia and go to Junon. 
You will see an
FMV so go back underwater and look for the aircraft. There are many good items 
here. There is
a underwater passage that leads to the Shell Key. There is also a passage that 
leads to a
waterfall inside of a crater. Go to the Sub and put Vincent in your party. Go 
underneath the
waterfall and Vincent will meet someone. You can't get to do anything now, but 
special items
appear here in Disc 3.

Event 26: The Red Glare and the Understanding

Go to the Rocket Village and go to the Rocket. The men in blue are not difficult 
if you have a
healer in your party. Go to the control room and release the Huge Materia. To 
release press:
Circle, Square, X, X on the control panel. Go back to the airship and go to 
Cosmo Canyon. Head
up to the observatory and talk to Bugenhagen. He will say that you should and 
him should go to
Shell Village. (Make sure you have the Shell Key) View the Materia floating 
around. They are
called Huge Materia and are needed to make the Master Materia. To make the 
Master Materia
you need to collect all the Materia available in the game, and touch the red 
Huge Materia. (Note: If
you have Neo Bahamut and Bahamut Summon Materia and you touch the red Materia, 
you will
get Bahamut Zero.) Go to the airship and go to Shell Village.

Event 27: There is Hope

Follow the left path and you will come to the blue stream. Cloud will realize 
what must be done. (I
won't ruin it) Cait Sith will call with information on Shinra. Go to the shores 
of Midgar, and save
before this. Talk to the big man once he reaches the shore. After you defeated 
the Weapon, go
north to the crater on the north continent. You have to fly into Midgar City and 
stop Hojo. Follow
Cait Sith down in the underground and you will run into the Turks again. (Cait 
Sith's Ultimate
weapon is in the lockers of the 64th floor of the Shinra building) Kill the 
Turks and go north.
Battle up to the Mako cannon and you will battle Hojo. Beat him and prepare for 
the final battle.
Insert Disc 3.

-------------------Disc 3-------------------

Event 28: Bravery and Power

If you want, head down into the pit and you will fight Sephiroth and get the 
ending to the game.
Just battle your way down all of the cliffs and engage Sephiroth. Power up your 
characters in the
swamps, cause they are fairly easy and you get good experience for them. Also, 
if you got the
Save Crystal from the first chest in the pit, put that down here. Sephiroth is 
pretty tough, and
enjoy the music and the lengthy ending.

Or......

There are many things to do before you face Sephiroth. Go to the eastern 
continent and you will
find that the Ultimate Weapon has made a nest out of a mountain north of Junon 
where he is
holding Cloud's Ultimate sword. You have to fight him a number of times. If you 
win the first
battle, the Ultimate Weapon will fly off. Find him and ram the Highwind into him 
again and again,
until he tumbles down and you get Cloud's Ultimate Weapon. You can go back to 
the
underground waterfall and get the new items. There is an extremely difficult 
boss down here that
you can fight. This is a very hard battle. He will give you a secret item if you 
win. You can go to
the Golden Saucer and beat the Red Scorpion boss that's moving around in the 
sand down
below. He is hard, too. If you beat him he will give you the Desert Rose. Now 
you should collect
everyone's limit breaks. Don't take on the two weapons if you don't have them 
all, because they
are really important. Go and raise Chocobos. If you manage to breed a Gold 
Chocobo, take it to
the island in the northeast corner of the map that holds the best summon Materia 
in the game.
(Knights of the Round Table)

---------Part 2: Limit Breaks---------

There are four levels of limit breaks, and most characters have 2 limit breaks a 
level, but all of
them have 1 4th level limit break. Learning the level 4 limit breaks are more 
difficult. You have to
first learn all of the limit breaks on that character, and then you must have 
the limit break item
that teaches you the attack. After you find them, you must use the correct 
manual on each
character, and set his limit break to level 4. Here is where the manuals are 
found:

Cloud:
Back at the Gold Saucer, win 32000 battle points in a single visit and then buy 
the item.

Barrett:
After the train ride in Disc 2, there is a lady in a hat in a building in the 
north Corel, she will give
it to you.

Tifa:
You must play the song on Tifa's Piano (See event 16)

Red XIII:
In Sephiroth's house is a safe, use the combo to unlock it. (See event 16)

Yuffie:
After you beat her mini-quest, go back to Wutai. Go to the Pagoda and defeat 
Godo. You will get
it now.

Vincent:
Either the sub or a Blue, Black, or Gold Chocobo is needed. Go to the waterfall 
in the middle of
the western continent. Vincent must be with you. You have to enter the left side 
of the waterfall.
(Note: You must visit the waterfall twice. Once on disc 2, and once on disc 3)

Cid:
Use the sub and search for the plane wreck where you found the Hades Materia, on 
the south
part of the map. The sunken plane is between the easter and western continents. 
Inside the
plane is a chest holding it.

---------Part 3: Ultimate Weapons---------

------------------------------------
Cloud:    Ultimate Weapon

Location: Before you start the final assault on Sephiroth in disc 3, go to the 
world map and kill the
wandering Dragon, Ultima Weapon.

Power up: This Weapon's damage in dependent on Cloud's HP level. The more HPs he 
has, the
more damage it does.
-------------------------------------
Barrett:    Missing Score

Location: In your quest to stop the Mako overload at Midgar at the end of Disc 2 
there is a chest
holding the Missing Score on the staircase just before you reach Hojo. Barrett 
has to be a
member of your party to find this weapon.

Power up: Attach Materia to this weapon. Damage is dictated by the AP of that 
Materia.
--------------------------------------
Tifa:    Premium Heart

Location: In Disc 2 or 3 go to Midgar City, head to Wall Market and examine the 
computer in the
room marked "item"

Power up: Every time she has a Limit Break, but misses with at least 1 spinning 
wheel, the
Premium Heart powers up.
--------------------------------------
Aerith:    Princess Guard

Location: While engaged in the moving clock game, obtain it from the Ancient's 
Temple.

Power up: This is only available for a short time, so I can't find how to power 
it up.
---------------------------------------
Red XIII:    Limited Moon

Location: In Disc 2, after the monster attacks Midgar, visit Bugenhagen and he 
will give it to you.

Power up: Like Cloud's weapon, but the MPs matter. So if you have high MPs, it 
will do high
damage.
-----------------------------------------
Yuffie:    Conformer

Location: In Disc 2 or 3, check around the wrecked plane.

Power up: Damage depends on the experience points of an enemy. If it is high, it 
powers up.
-----------------------------------------
Cait Sith:       Marvelous Cheer

Location: In Disc 2, during the raid on Midgar, search the lockers on the 64th 
floor of the Shinra
building.

Power up: It is the same as the Limited Moon that Red XIII gets.
------------------------------------------
Vincent:   Death Penalty

Location: When you get his Limit Break manual, you also get his Death Penalty.

Power up: The number of death blows he has delivered determines the weapon's 
damage. So,
how many death blows in the past makes this weapon more powerful.
-------------------------------------------
Cid:    Venus Gospel

Location: In Disc 1 or 2, the man who gave Cloud a sword in Disc 1 will stand 
outside a house by
the rocket pad. Talk to him 3 times. This can only be done after the rocket has 
been destroyed.

Power up: Same as Cait Sith's and Red XIII's weapons.
--------------------------------------------

---------Part 4: Summon Materia---------
