=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
I think this is the first FAQ for both PC and PSX on GameFAQs, and the first
one ever on CheatHappens.

=======================
Version 1.5
=======================
Sarah (firegirl666@sailormoon.com) says that there's a tool called GOLDFINGER
that will give you access to the movies like on the PC. So I guess it's not
JUST the PC Movies Guide!
According to Ziethian, Cid has another weapon. I put it in Cid's Weapons
section.
Well, I guess until now Cid wasn't good enough for my character section...
He's in there now. Thanks, fatedrummer!
=======================
Version 1.4
=======================
Accidentally uploaded when I wasn't supposed to, so I changed something back.
=======================
Version 1.3
=======================
Thanks to Raekwon917, I am now aware of the true power of each character's
Ultimate Weapon. Thanks!
=======================
Version 1.2
=======================
Thanks to "kailvamp11", I now know how you were supposed to get the first number
in the locker combo for Vincent (officially, I just guessed it...not like I
found it from someone else's FAQ...).
Much thanks!

=======================
Cloud Strife
=======================
Job:        Mercenary (ex-member of SOLDIER)
Age:        21
Weapon:     Sword
Height:     5' 7"
Birthdate:  August 19
Birthplace: Nibelheim
Blood Type: AB
The main character of Final Fantasy VII. Originally a member of SOLDIER, he is
now a mercenary who will take any job. After being hired by AVALANCHE, he
gradually gets caught up in a massive struggle for the life of the planet. His
enormous sword can cut almost anything in two.
=======================
Barret Wallace
=======================
Job:        Leader of Avalanche
Age:        35
Weapon:     Gun-arm
Height:     6' 5"
Birthdate:  December 15
Birthplace: Corel Village
Blood Type: O
Head of the underground resistance movement, AVALANCHE.  He's fighting the
mega-conglomerate, Shinra, Inc. which has monopolized Mako energy, building
special reactors to suck it out of the planet. Barret depends on brute strength
and his "Gun-arm" to see him through. His wife died in an accident several
years ago, and he now lives with his daughter Marlene.
=======================
Tifa Lockhart
=======================
Job:        Bar Hostess
Age:        20
Weapon:     Glove
Height:     5' 5"
Birthdate:  May 3
Birthplace: Nibelheim
Blood Type: B
Bright and optimistic, Tifa always cheers up the others when they're down. But
don't let her face fool you, she can decimate almost any enemy with her fists.
She is one of the main members of AVALANCHE. She and Cloud were childhood
friends, and although she has strong feelings for him, she will never admit it.
=======================
Aeris Gainsborough
=======================
Job:        Flower Seller
Age:        22
Weapon:     Rod
Height:     5' 3"
Birthdate:  February 7
Birthplace: Unknown
Blood Type: O
Young, beautiful, and somewhat mysterious, Aeris meets Cloud while selling
flowers on the streets of Midgar. She decides to join him soon after. Her
unusual abilities enable her to use magic, but she seems more interested in the
deepening love triangle between herself, Cloud and Tifa.
=======================
Red XIII
=======================
Job:        Beast
Age:        48
Weapon:     Headdress
Height:     N/A
Birthdate:  Unknown
Birthplace: Cosmo Canyon
Blood Type: Unknown
Just like his name says, he is an animal with fire-red fur. But under this
fierce exterior is an intelligence surpassing that of any human's. His sharp
claws and fangs make him good at close-range fighting, but other than that, not
much else is known about him. It's not even certain "Red XIII" is his real
name. A real enigma.
=======================
Cait Sith
=======================
Job:        Toysaurus
Age:        N/A
Weapon:     Megaphone
Height:     3' 3"
Birthdate:  N/A
Birthplace: N/A
Blood Type: N/A
Cait Sith rides around on the back of a huge stuffed Mog he magically brought
to life. Megaphone in hand, he's always shouting orders and creating dopey
attacks. When his slot machine attack works, the enemy camp looks like an
overturned toy box. His hobby is fortune-telling, but like his personality,
it's pretty unreliable.
=======================
Cid Highwind
=======================
Job:        Pilot
Age:        32
Weapon:     Spear
Height:     5' 8"
Birthdate:  February 22
Birthplace: Unknown
Blood Type: B
Cid is a tough talking, warm-hearted old pilot who hasn't forgotten his dreams.
There's no better pilot who ever flew either on air or by sea. He believes
someday he'll fly to the ends of the universe. With his hand-made spear and
knowledge of machinery, he throws himself into any attack regardless of the
danger.
=======================
Yuffie Kisaragi
=======================
Job:        Materia Hunter (Ninja)
Age:        16
Weapon:     Knife, Boomerang, Origami (for throwing)
Height:     5' 2"
Birthdate:  November 20
Birthplace: Wutai
Blood Type: A
Although you'd never know if you looked at her, Yuffie comes from a long line
of ninja ancestors. She forced herself into the group just to get a certain
something... She's sneaky, arrogant and "way" selfish. But with her super
shuriken and her special skills, there isn't anyone else you'd rather have on
your side in a fight.
=======================
Vincent Valentine
=======================
Job:        Unemployed
Age:        27
Weapon:     Gun
Height:     6' 0"
Birthdate:  October 13
Birthplace: Unknown
Blood Type: A
A mystical man, stern and upright while at the same time dark and mysterious.
His past connection with Shinra is what made him join Cloud and the others. He
may seem frail at first glance, but hidden inside his body lurks a fearsome
power.
=======================
Sephiroth
=======================
Job:        Unemployed, Ex-SOLDIER
Age:        Unknown
Weapon:     Masamune Blade
Height:     Unknown
Birthdate:  Unknown
Birthplace: Unknown
Blood Type: Unknown
Little is known about the mighty Sephiroth other than the fact that he was
most likely the strongest fighter on the planet. He was once a member of
SOLDIER, but according to Shinra's newspapers, he was killed. His reappearance
brings Cloud and his friends much trouble...

There's some Materia you can buy in the house with the blue and orange sign
above it.
However, we need to go in the building beside it.
=======================
Sector 7 Weapons Shop
=======================
Well, there aren't any weapons except for the ASSAULT RIFLE, which we already
have.
However, there's some IRON BANGLEs for sale. Buy 3 and equip them. I'd also
spread out your materia (Cloud - Lightning, Barret - Ice, Tifa - Restore) and
sell your BRONZE BANGLEs.
Head up the stairs.
=======================
Sector 7 Slums
=======================
Re-enter the building.
=======================
Beginner's Hall
=======================
Take the ALL materia. There aren't too many of them, so treasure the ones you

continue. He should be finished rather quickly.
You'll get a TITAN BANGLE at the end.
It doesn't matter what you choose while talking.
_Cutscene_
=======================
Sector 5 Slums Church
=======================
Talk to the Flower Girl again. You don't HAVE to, but be nice to her. Don't
call her the slum drunk. Talk to her again.
Woo! A name-able character. It's Aeris.
Now run over to the dude that just walked in. After Aeris says something, go
talk to her again.
=======================
Sector 5 Slums Church Back
=======================
Jump over to where the steps are, then climb them and jump the gap.
We have to save Aeris! Choose to Hold on a minute, then push the barrel
furthest the left. That should land on top of him.
Now wait until Aeris calls again, tell her to Hold on, then push the barrel in
the back middle (N).

You can also steal a little kid's 5 GIL if you're really mean.
When you're done, go through the yellow light beside the green and white bus.

DON'T mean me.
=======================
Wall Market 2
=======================
There's a weapons shop here selling some stuff. They have the more powerful
MYTHRIL ARMLETs, a MYTHRIL ROD for Aeris, and a METAL KNUCKLE for Tifa. I'd buy
it all, but it's your call.
Run back to the Wall Market.
=======================

|At this point, I recommend that you do this side quest. Go into the Materia

sequence over and over. It's not that hard, just get more than the other guy.
Whether you win or not determines how...clean...the wig is.
My record is 20 squats. ;-). You'll get the BLONDE WIG. Leave.
=======================
Wall Market 2
=======================
Head back to Wall Market.
=======================
Wall Market
=======================
Re-enter the Dress shop.
=======================
Wall Market Dress Shop
=======================
Go into the dressing room. Aeris gets a pretty hot dress. Looks like she's
looking forward to the whole Corneo thing.
Leave.
NOTE: If you talk to the lady that's been waiting in line t whole time, she
calls you weird. I can't imagine why.
=======================
Wall Market
=======================
Go north.
=======================
Wall Market 2
=======================
To Corneo Hall!
=======================
Corneo Hall
=======================
Talk to the man, who says you're "hot too". Eww.
=======================
Corneo's Mansion
=======================
Run up the stairs, then down the stairs to the left.
=======================
Corneo's West Room
=======================
Run down the stairs and talk to Tifa. When you get a chance, take the ETHER and
keep talking.
After you regroup with the girls, give Tifa any stuff you bought her and give
her some Materia if you want, you'll be fighting a boss soon.
Leave.
=======================
Corneo's Mansion
=======================
Go through the big double doors here.
=======================
Corneo's Office
=======================
Just run up to one of them.
=======================
Corneo's East Room
=======================
Run to the right for a PHOENIX DOWN. Talk to all the guys, then talk to Scotch.
You'll get into 2 battles. Scotch is slightly harder than the other guys, but
not too much.
After you're done, leave.
=======================
Corneo's Mansion
=======================
Let's go help Aeris. She's in Corneo's West Room.
=======================
Corneo's West Room
=======================
Pick up Aeris and leave.
=======================
Corneo's Mansion
=======================
Re-enter Corneo's Office.
=======================
Corneo's Office
=======================
Go behind the curtain.
=======================
Corneo's Bedroom
=======================
This is where the magic happens. You'll go through the a bunch of talking, then
be faced with these choices:
Because I've given up on life
Because I'm sure I'll win
Because I'm clueless
Well, the correct answer is always #2, but you won't see him again for a while
if you do at all. No matter what you pick, the same thing happens.
=======================
Sector 6 Sewerway
=======================
Check on the girls.

Use that FIRE materia I told you to buy and you should be doin' pretty good.
Aeris' Limit Break heals you and Cloud's and Tifa's Limit Breaks hurt him.
Just attack him and use magic in between Limit Breaks.
At the end you'll get a PHOENIX DOWN. Climb the stairs here and take the
POTION, then climb back down the stairs and climb up the ladder. Run across,
then climb down the ladder, up the stairs and take the STEAL materia. Jump down
the hole at the end.
=======================
Sector 6 Sewerway 2
=======================
Run down the stairs, up where there's no railing, then up the ladder at the
end.
=======================
Train Graveyard
=======================
There's a save point here and a bunch of items. In the barrels you'll find a
HI-POTION and an ECHO SCREEN, and in other areas you'll find a HI-POTION and
2 POTIONs.
To get through here, climb up the first ladder, then run across the train tops
until you run into some weird structure. Jump ontop of it, then run down onto
the ground. Now run under the weird structure and into the train. Then run
down, out, and up the ladder. Now go up to the next ladder, go down it, then
go back into the train. Now go up out of the train, then out of the screen.
If you want to pick up the items, they're not too hard to find, but you'll have
to get them yourself.
=======================
Train Graveyard 2
=======================
Here you can find an ETHER in a barrel and a POTION and HI-POTION in the open.
Run under the overturned train, then into the front car of a train to move it.
When it's finished moving, jump back in again. Then run around the train and
hop into the other train. Then climb up the ladder and jump onto the moving
train. Run across it and climb down the ladder. Then, run out of the screen.
=======================
Sector 7 Train Station

Run to the other side of the screen.

Whoa. That Wedge is supernatural. Head into the caged area and save. Then climb
the stairs.
=======================
Sector 7 Tower
=======================
Talk to Biggs. Then run up ALL the stairs until you come to Jessie. Talk to him
too, then head all the way to the top. Talk to Barret, then give him all the
materia Aeris had.
Then they come.

Just keep attacking. You can destroy the pyramids by directly attacking whoever
it's around. He's only got 1,000 HP, so he's not that hard. After he loses, he
says "It's time" and leaves. You get an ETHER for winning.
Go talk to Tifa!

We hafta get outta here! Talk to Tifa, then Barret. Jump on his shoulders.

Run up the wooden ramp and to the rusted thin one. Now run back to the

Sector 5 Slums
=======================
Go to Aeris' Garden.
=======================
Aeris' Garden
=======================
To Aeris' House!
=======================
Aeris' House
=======================
Now you get to witness a BUNCH of talking. When it's done, run upstairs.
=======================
Aeris' House 2F
=======================
Go talk to Barret. Then go back down the stairs.
=======================
Aeris' House

Now go past the slide to the Sector 6 Garbage Area.

Sector 6 Garbage Area
=======================
Go up.
=======================
Wall Market
=======================
Go to the northwest to Wall Market 2.
=======================
Wall Market 2
=======================
Go into the Weapons Shop with the MACHINE & GUN sign above the door.
=======================
Wall Market Weapons Shop
=======================
Talk to the man in green clothes for some BATTERIES. :-\. You'll need them.
Leave.
=======================
Wall Market 2
=======================
Follow those kids off screen to see "somethin awesome".
=======================
Bottom of the Wall
=======================
Talk to that kid, then climb the golden shiny wire of hope.
=======================
Middle of the Wall
=======================
Run to the top of the wire, then jump onto the garbage to the left. Run under
the wire and jump over to the socket. Put in a battery.
Hmm. That helps out. Well, actually it does. Run to the top of the reddish
white tube onto the propeller. Then cross and climb up the railroad track. Put
a battery in place, then climb up to where Cloud starts talking.
It took me a while to figure this out, but jump as you're hearing or just after
hearing the SQUEAK. Then climb up the tube.
=======================
Top of the Wall
=======================
Well, you could probably get something special if you get a battery in that
socket, but it's probably no big deal anyway.
Run up the tube, then climb up the wire. After you get to the top, climb down
the wire back onto the tube and run up the tube.
=======================
Outside Shinra H.Q.
=======================
At this point, you have a choice. You can either bust on in or run up enough
stairs to kill 7 goats.
That's a lot of stairs. This walkthrough's going to assume you busted in, but
if you take the stairs, which are to the left, you'll get an ELIXIR, and the
brilliant creators of this game couldn't count too well, so actually there's
probably enough stairs for 90 or 100 floors.
You'll end up at the 59th Floor.
So anyway, run through the front doors!
=======================
1st Floor
=======================
Battle the guards, then run up the stairs to the 2nd Floor.
=======================
2nd Floor
=======================
Run up more stairs.
=======================
3rd Floor
=======================
Run into the elevator.
=======================
H.Q. Elevator 1
=======================
Oh balogna. Just keep stopping the elevator and battling until you get to the
59th Floor.
=======================
59th Floor
=======================
Go fight the soldiers guarding the other elevators. After the battle, you'll
get KEYCARD 60. Now enter the elevator they were guarding.
=======================
H.Q. Elevator 2
=======================
Push the 60" button. Then talk to Barret and Tifa.
_Cutscene_
=======================
60th Floor
=======================
Run out of the security camera's view, then through the red-lighted door.
The trick here is to run from statue to statue either while the guard behind it
is moving or when there's no guard at all behind it. Same thing when signaling
your friends.
If you lose, regardless of where you are, you will have to fight and start all
over. So if you stink at this, you will be at a high level before you make it.
Climb the stairs.
=======================
61st Floor
=======================
There's 2 guys in gray here. One of them will ask you what you're doin. Answer
"..." and he'll think you're from the repair division and give you KEYCARD 62.
Now climb the stairs to the 62nd Floor.
=======================
62nd Floor
=======================
Run to the left and talk to the guy in the room. It's Domino, the mayor of
Midgar. He has a little puzzle for you, and you need to guess the passcode.
It's randomized, so you can either guess it, or follow these instructions to
find out what it is and get his secret prize.
Check the signs outside the libraries. There's:
Scientific Research Library
Urban Dev. Reserach Library
Peace Preservation/Weapon Dev. Research Library
Space Dev. Research Library
Now in each library, there's a file that shouldn't be there. Such as an
economic report in the Peace Preservation/Weapon Dev. Research Library.
There is a number at the beginning of each file name. Look at the number on the
files that don't belong in that library. Match the number with the letters in
the title of the file. If the file start with a 4, then check the fourth letter
and... well, you get the idea.
Then, unscramble the letters and BOOM. The password. Give it to Domino for the
KEYCARD 65 and the ELEMENTAL materia if you got it on your first try. Go up.
=======================
63rd Floor
=======================
Sigh. A puzzle. Here's how to do it.
First, talk to the computer, which will give you the ability to open only 3
doors.
Second, run to the right and all the way to the top. Open this door.
Third, run through the door until you run into another door. Don't open IT,
however, open the door to the south of it. Now you can enter the room with a
red light and take the A COUPON.
Fourth, hop into the air vent. Once in there, go down the other hole that
doesn't lead back to the computer.
Fifth, take the B COUPON and go out the door. Open the door to the left here.
It should give you access to the room with the C COUPON.
Finally, climb back into the air duct and drop down into the room with the
computer.
And there you have it. If you could understand what I was saying, you now have
a STAR PENDANT, FOUR SLOTS, and an ALL materia.
Go up the stairs to the 64th Floor.
=======================
64th Floor
=======================
This is where you can get Cait Sith's best weapon when you re-visit Midgar
toward the end of the game, so don't forget it. There IS a PHOENIX DOWN in an
open locker here, though.
When you're finished, climb the stairs to the 65th floor.
=======================
65th Floor
=======================
GRR. I hate puzzles.
It's not the treasure chest in the room with you now, but you need to find the
unlocked treasure chest. You'll get some MIDGAR PARTS. Then you take them into
the middle room and put them in place. This causes another one to unlock. Do
this over and over until you get KEYCARD 66.
Ascend the stairs.
=======================
66th Floor
=======================
Let's see what's goin on in that meeting. Run to the bathroom in the northwest
corner or the room. Go into the stall.
=======================
H.Q. Bathroom Stall
=======================
Run to the toilet and choose to climb up.
=======================
66th Floor Air Vent
=======================
Check out the lighted vent closest to the camera. After that amazingly exciting
meeting, climb back down into the H.Q. Bathroom Stall.
=======================
H.Q. Bathroom Stall
=======================
Leave.
=======================
66th Floor
=======================
Run back to the stairs. You'll see Hojo. Follow him up the stairs.
=======================
67th Floor
=======================
Run to the left where you'll see Hojo, a strange lab specimen, and Jenova.
This is the point where I fought with the STOOPIDEST enemy ever. It was called
the Warning Board. It's a T.V. with a fist flashing on it. It was so stupid.
Sorry, just had to say that. Now go past all the stuff to the treasure chest,
where you'll get POISON materia. I recommend you save here. Also ride the
elevator up.
=======================
68th Floor
=======================
Go after Hojo. Whoa. A party member. He actually has a real name, but it's
stupid, so just name him Red XIII.

can.
The HO512-opts each have 300 HP. At the end of the battle, you get a TALISMAN.
Assemble your party however you want. Don't forget the ENEMY SKILL materia in
the tank. Now go up the ramp and take the 2 POTIONs. Then talk to the dude in
gray. The loser gives you KEYCARD 68, which helps you almost none.
Follow the man in gray to the end of the hall and take the 2 more POTIONs. Then
go down the steps.

67th Floor

Talk to whoever you wish, but all you REALLY need to do is check the door,
check on Aeris, then re-check the door and get some sleep.
Whoa. Go out and check the guard's body. Then wake Tifa up. Now go talk to
Red XIII or Barret. Talk to Barret again. Then talk to Tifa.
Now go to where Red XIII first was. Talk to him, then ride the elevator behind
him.
=======================
68th Floor
=======================
Follow the trail of blood up the stairs.
=======================
69th Floor
=======================
Follow the yellow brick road.

Go check the President's body. He doesn't have a real name. Now go out to see

69th Floor
=======================
YES. REMOVE CLOUD AND TIFA'S MATERIA. You'll get to use it again when you're

He's only got 500 HP! Dark Nation casts Barrier, which makes it hard to attack
him non-magically. Thus, USE MAGIC. If Dark Nation uses MBarrier, try physical
attacks.
You don't have to kill Dark Nation, but if you get tired of his stupid Bolt
attacks, go ahead.
When he says, "Heh, that's all for today", he's done. You get a PROTECT VEST
for winning.
Re-enter the building.

Top Floor
=======================
Run down the stairs.
=======================
69th Floor
=======================
Talk to Tifa.
Now you're controlling Aeris and friends.

1st Floor

Go check outside. Darn! The Shinra's everywhere! Where's Cloud?

That's one of my fav's.
=======================
Midgar Highway
=======================
You're going to be fighting a boss soon, and you'll be in really low HP if you
don't do good in the mini-game.
This mini-game is EXTREMELY hard on a fast PC. Oh my gosh it goes at the speed
of light. Oh well.
Well, the screen pretty much explains the thing. Some riders take one slash and
others take 2.
At the end, you'll notice a large machine following you. It's a boss.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Ouch...2,600 HP. Seems like Horse-power too.
Use the Bolt. This guy you can attack, too, but he's still got all those HPs.
His armor is twice as weak as the last guy. Also, Ice works better than Fire.
Be sure to cure after his Rolling Fire attack. It hurts!
After the battle, you'll end up outside Midgar, at the gates.
=======================
Midgar Gates
=======================
Try to leave, then say Let's go! Then you'll see the characters choosing a
leader, and it feels like you're watching a show on Nickelodeon. There's always
a moral.
I think Barret would make a great leader. Oh well. Choose your party, but if
you only pick the guys, Aeris and Tifa will call it an "interesting
combination". What do they know anyway?
Heh. Funny. If you put yourself with the girls, Barret says "Thought you'd do
that." What do you expect? He's young and single.
Leave.
