Sponsors:

- If you bought the first item (200 gil), he'll give you the
Diamond Tiara.
- If you bought the second item (100 gil), he'll give you the
Ruby Tiara.
- If you bought the third item (50 gil), he'll give you the
Glass Tiara.

(Note that the dialogue here was changed from the Japanese version, in which you were buying a 'gift' for the shopkeeper's girlfriend that he was too embarrassed to buy   Why this was changed, I have no idea.) 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 ("the food was all right") to get a Pharmacy 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 woman inside.  Accept the first choice and:

- You'll get the Cologne if you traded the Coupon for the
Disinfectant.
- You'll get the Flower Cologne if you traded the Coupon for the
Deodorant.
- You'll get the Sexy Cologne if you traded the Coupon for the
Digestive (medicine). i)  Talk to the large man in the white shirt who's standing near the edge of the screen in the first area to get the Member's Card.
He won't give it to you unless you talked to the guard by the door of the Corneo's mansion. Head right to arrive at the brothel.
If you talk to the bouncer, he'll let you in once he sees the Card, but Aeris won't come with you (yes, they messed up the dialogue here, too).

Inside the Honeybee Inn, 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.  When you're ready (you better brace yourself), you can do one or the other:

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 Mukki and his friends.  Answer however you like while in the tub and Cloud will be given the Bikini briefs.

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...Mukki :(  Talk to him and choose the bottom option.  Then talk to the girl and you'll get the
Lingerie.

After getting either item, you can return to the room where all the girls are and one will put makeup on you.

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:

- He'll pick Cloud if you're wearing the Silk Dress, Blonde Wig, and have the 'best' extra items (the Diamond Tiara, Sexy Cologne, and
Lingerie or Bikini briefs.
- He'll pick Aeris if you're wearing the Silk Dress, the Blonde Wig, the Lingerie and the Sexy Cologne (in addition to anything else you may have).
- He'll pick Tifa if you're wearing the Silk Dress, Blonde Wig, and one or two of the extra items not mentioned above (or anything worse than that).

If Corneo picked Tifa or Aeris, then read below:

In the next room, examine the item bag by the bed to get a Phoenix Down, and talk to the man by the television set after talking to the other henchmen.  After revealing your true nature to the love-struck goons, they'll fight you.  This is followed by another fight with the other three punks.  Afterward, get Aeris from the torture chamber and then go into the middle door again (if Aeris was picked, then you'll meet
Tifa when you go outside).  When you're through intimidating Corneo, look behind his bed for a Hyper, then stand by your allies.  He'll make you choose one of three options.  No matter which one you choose, you'll fall through a trapdoor.

If Corneo picked Cloud, then you'll end up in his room.  Search behind his bed for a Hyper, then talk to him and answer anyway you like (if you try to make Cloud kiss Corneo, then maybe you need to get out of the house more....^_^;)  Your friends will burst in and threaten him (yeowch!)  and Corneo will ask you a question; pick any answer you like and you'll still plummet to the sewers below.

3.7  the sewers / train yard revisited
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEMS IN THIS AREA:  Potion x4, Phoenix Down, Steal materia,
Hi-Potion x3, Echo Screen, Ether x2.

Once the cut scene with the Shinra flunkies ends, you'll find yourself in a sewer.  Before talking to Tifa or Aeris, climb up the stairs to the south and go along the walkway to nab a Potion.  When you try to escape, a blue monster appears attacks your party.

_________________________________________________________________________
BOSS TIPS: APS                                    LV: 18  HP: 1800  MP: 0 weak against Fire

His Sewer Tsunami attack hurts all members, so use Potions and the
Restore Materia to heal your wounds.  Luckily, the Tsunami will damage him, too (he uses this attack as a counterattack before dying if he can manage it).  When he does the reverse Sewer Tsunami, it causes less damage to him.  Fire spells work the best on him.  Use Cloud's Limit
Break to harm the boss and use Aeris' Limit Break to heal yourselves.
You'll receive a Phoenix Down for winning the battle.
_________________________________________________________________________

Climb up the ladder and head right.  Go down into the sewage, then up the stairs.  Grab the Yellow Materia (Steal) and go down the hatch.  In the next room, go down the stairs, then climb up the side of the curved structure.  Climb up the ladder and you'll go outside.  There's a Save
Point here.  Check out the oil drum nearby by entering the train car (near the Save Point) to get a Hi-Potion.  Get another Hi-Potion on the roof of adjacent car, then hop off onto the iron beam and check the oil drum to the north for an Echo Screen.  Walk east, then south and enter the nearby train car to get a Potion.  Climb up the ladder, head north, and climb down again.  Go north once more through the train car, then exit to your left to find a second Potion.  Then, go north to arrive at the next screen.

Here, circle left around the car to get a Potion.  Circle left again to find an oil can with an Ether inside of it.  Go north and enter the train to the right to move the other train car out of the way.  Climb atop the formerly blocked car to net a Hi-Potion.  Now, ride the other train back backwards, climb onto the eastern train car, jump onto the train you just moved, and climb across it and the last car before going down the ladder to get back to the front part of the Train Graveyard.

Head left.  The Avalanche members will be fighting atop the support pillar you first saw when you arrived at the base.  After Wedge plummets to the ground, save your game at the Save Point and talk to the man on the left if you need to buy items.  Climb up the stairs and you'll meet
Barret, who is firing at the Shinra helicopter you saw back at the plant.  Reno will jump out, and you'll have to fight him.  Good thing
Barret joins you.  When you inflict enough damage, the boss runs away!

_________________________________________________________________________
BOSS TIPS: RENO                                   LV: 17  HP: 1000  MP: 0

This guy packs a wallop.  He can imprison your friends using his golden
Pyramid attack, and if he does this to all your members, you lose.  To break the pyramids, attack your allies (they won't be damaged).  Watch for his spark bolt attack (which can paralyze you) and use your Limit
Breaks whenever possible.  Ice works well on him.  For some players, this may be the first battle they lose!  You'll get an Ether for scaring him off should you win.

3.8  into the sky
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEMS IN THIS AREA:  Sense materia, Battery x3, Ether.

After fending off the boss, Tseng will kidnap Aeris (and p**p slap her)!
As he escapes, the entire city explodes and falls down a level, destroying it.  Cloud, Tifa, and Barret all come to in the playground at the Sector 6 Slums.  After Barret yells for Marlene, Wedge, and his other friends, he and Tifa join you in the next area when you try to leave.  Go back to get a sparkling yellow Materia (Sense), before returning to Wall
Market.  The man in the pottery store will now sell you Materia, and if you go back to the parlor, you have the option of freeing one of Don
Corneo's men from the torture chamber.  Even if you got the Member's Card the first time around, you can no longer enter the brothel, by the way.

When you're done, leave and go south from the playground.  Return to the
Sector 5 Slum and go to Aeris's house.  Talk to Elmyra, her mother.  You can spend the night in the upstairs bedroom once the intermission ends.
Return to the Wall Market and go to the dead-end area near the parlor. (you'll see a bunch of kids run in there).  Climb up the pipe, and you'll find yourself high above the town.  If you haven't gotten them already, go to the 'Machine & Gun' store and talk to the man at the left end of the store; he'll sell you 3 Battery for 300 gil.  You'll need them to activate the boxes in this part of the game.  With that in mind, examine the box-shaped object in the lower right to try and start a nearby propeller.  Head up, and you'll jump onto the propeller.  From there, make your way to the other box and activate the painted barrier.
Climb up it, and use the O button to jump onto the swinging metal pipe.
Despite what Cloud says, jump when it is close to you (just as it stops squeaking).  After that, climb up to the next screen.

Here, climb up, then drop down to activate the next box and you'll find an Ether.  Climb down the lefthand pipe and make your way back up again.
Instead of dropping down, continue up, and you'll find yourself at
Shinra's headquarters.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.9  shinra headquarters building
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEMS IN THIS AREA:  Elixir, Elemental materia, Star Pendant, Four Slots,
All materia, Phoenix Down, Ether, Poison materia,
Grenade x1~3, Talisman, Enemy Skill materia,
Potion x4, Mythril Armlet, Protect Vest, Guard
Source.

There's a Save Point here.  You have the option of either heading to the left and climbing up a stairwell (sneaking in) or barging in through the front door ('kick some Shinra butt!', as Barret would say).

Going up the stairs takes forever, but it's free of enemies and you can get an Elixir that's lying on one of the landings.  On the other hand, going through the front door and taking the elevators in the back is faster, but you have to fight several battles along the way.  Not only that, but you can chase around the Shinra staff before taking the elevator :)  (or at least, you could in the Japanese version.  They all ran away....)  You can't use the circular lifts by the doors yet, but you can use them once you reach the 60th floor.  If you go up the stairs, you'll see a door marked 'Accessories'.  Inside the room, you can look at a monitor to see a short FMV sequence about Shinra's products (this is the 2nd most overlooked FMV in the game).  There are two chests here, but the lady won't let you open them.  She will sell you items, though.
Remember, if you go through the front, check the control panel in the elevator (the one that goes haywire) after each enemy encounter in order to continue upwards.  If you go up the stairs then change your mind and go back down, you won't have to fight anybody on the elevators, and the main area of the ground floor will be empty (an easy trick for not having to fight anyone :)).  I advise that no matter which method you use, be sure to get the Elixir on the staircase.

No matter what method you use, you'll eventually reach the 59th floor.
Head southeast and kill the armored guards to get the Keycard 60, then take the lift to the 60th floor.  Here, you'll have to head to the room in the upper-left and make it to the other side without being seen by the patrolling guards.  In order to stay hidden from them, pause behind the gold statues, then lead Tifa and Barret across using the O button.
If you mess up, not only to you get attacked (ambush-style combat), but you'll have to start all over again.  However, after a while (if you mess up enough times), the guards won't reappear and you can just run to the end of the hallway.  Keep in mind that the set of guards on the right half of the screen move faster than the ones on the left.

Take the stairway up to the 61st floor.  Talk to everyone here.  A man who asks you about Aeris will give you the Keycard 62 if you answer
"......".  On floor 62, talk to the man in the room, Domino, and the man in white, (Hart) then check out the two library rooms.  Answer Domino's question and he'll give you the Keycard 65.  The problem with this is that the answer changes with each game you play.  It seems like it would be easy enough to simply try each answer until you get it right, but you get an Elemental Materia for free if you answer correctly the first time.
So, it's in your best interest to just reset and keep trying in order to get the materia.  Hart will help you out if you need it, but he'll want you to pay him first.  To get the answer, simply look for the misplaced file, and note the number of the file.  Count forward that many letters, and write down that letter.  After getting all four letters in this way, try to rearrange them into one of the words that Domino suggests is an answer.  He gives you varying items depending on how many tries it takes you (you'll get lesser items if you mess up each time).

The 63rd floor is tricky.  You have to collect 3 Coupons from all three rooms, but you're only able to open 3 doors at a time.  You can reset the doors by investigating the computer in the right-hand room, but that also resets the location of the Coupons.  You can move around using walkways in the ducts; to enter them you have to climb into the black, box-shaped structures (there's one in the computer room).  You can't do that unless you have at least one of the three items.

To get the items, follow this procedure: activate the computer, then head to the top-right corner of the screen and open the gate farthest to the right.  Head left and open the left-hand gate, then walk left and go south to enter the room where A Coupon is.  Choose the top option to climb into the black box and use the walkway to get to the room where B
Coupon is.  Finally, go through the door in this room and open the door to the left, then go north to enter the room containing C Coupon.  Then use the walkway to return to the computer room.

Now if you want, you can just trade one of the Coupons for an item, but if you have all three then you'll get all three items.  The trade setup works like this (choose 'Coupon Change'):

- Trade Coupon A for the Star Pendant accessory
- Trade Coupon B for the Four Slots bracelet
- Trade Coupon C for the All materia

To get your items (depending on how many coupons you have) go to the computer and choose the bottom option,  then the top.  Keep in mind that you can only do this once.

On the 64th floor, you'll find a Save Point and bedroom to your left.
You can use the machines in the exercise room, or spend 250 gil trying to get a health drink.  Yeah, perhaps it seems stupid to waste your gil when you don't get anything now, but if you come back later....
If you examine the lockers in the back room, you can find a Phoenix
Down, an Ether, and a M-phone (HP Shout), but you can only take the first two items for now.  Head to the 65th floor.

Here, you have to open a treasure chest, then examine a broken section of the model in the circular room and choose the top option to repair it.  This unlocks one of the other chests, allowing you to open it and use the part inside to repair another section of the model.  When you have finished, you'll get the Keycard 66 from the final chest.  You must fix the model in a counter-clockwise fashion starting from the bottom.  The order of the chests you open goes like this:

- Upper-left room:   bottom chest
- Upper-left room:   top chest
- Lower-left room:   left chest
- Lower-left room:   top chest
- Upper-right room:  chest
- Middle-right room: get the Keycard 66 from here when you're done.

On the 66th floor, you can either run into the meeting hall as quickly as you can (if you took the elevator...it's a glitch, and was possible in the Japanese version, at least :)), or you can enter the stall in the bathroom located in the northwest corner of the floor.  Choose the middle option, and you'll climb on top of the toilet and enter an air duct.  Move forward to see what the Shinra members (Reeve, Palmer,
President Shinra, Heidegger, Hojo, and Scarlet) are discussing.

Climb back out, then climb up the stairwell after Hojo (the pony-tailed scientist) in the room to the right of the meeting hall.  Note that you'll end up in the air duct even if you ran into the hall...heh, heh.
On the next floor (67), talk to the people and keep following the scientist.  After looking in the purple chamber (and after Cloud gets another headache), move beyond the crates and to the right to find a
Save Point and a treasure chest with a Poison Materia inside.

Enter the elevator to the north, and then watch as the scientist toys with Aeris.  Now, choose who you want to protect Aeris, (either
Barret or Tifa), and then you can name the lion-like creature (Red 13) that was attacking Hojo.  He'll fight alongside you when the mutant boss shows up.  Don't forget that Red 13 comes equipped with his own
Materia!

_________________________________________________________________________
BOSS TIPS: Sample:HO512                         LV: 19  HP: 1000  MP: 120
Sample:HO512-OPT                     LV:  7  HP:  300  MP:  48

Don't try to kill this guy's little guardians; he'll only create more.
Instead, use Bolt or Fire on him and try Restore to keep up your own life power.  Avoid using physical attacks, Ice, or Poison.  This means that Red 13 is better off using Fire against the boss than attacking.
This battle is easier if you have Barret, who can inflict more damage.
Don't worry about getting poisoned since you can get infected again when the boss uses the pink gas attack on your characters (there's no point in trying to de-poison yourselves).  You'll get a Talisman should you kill the boss, and Grenades depending on the OPTs that you killed.
_________________________________________________________________________

Tifa or Barret return after the battle (depending on who you chose).
You'll be asked to make a new party (but you can keep the old one you had before, if you wish).  When you're in control of Cloud again, be sure to grab the yellow materia (Enemy Skill) that's left behind in the sample chamber.  Then go up the ladder and head south.  Talk to the man in the gray coat to get the Keycard 68.  Go back down to floor 66 and try entering one of the lifts; you'll get caught by Rude (he's a Turk who you'll be running into constantly throughout the game).  He and Tseng will 'escort' you to a meeting with the president of Shinra.  Afterwards, you'll end up in the jail cells on floor 67.  Here, listen to everyone, then go to sleep.

The next morning, you'll find that your door is unlocked.  Investigate the guard, then talk to Tifa.  Check the guard again to unlock the doors, then look in on Barret and Red 13.  After freeing your companions, return to the lab and talk to Red 13.  Talk to him again after taking the elevator up to the 68th floor, then use the incline to reach the walkway again.  Go all the way along it until you find two purple Potions, then climb back down and enter the door from the ground floor.  The green bars of light won't hurt you; run through them and pick up two more Potions before climbing up the stairs to the 69th floor.

Go out the center door to reach a Save Point.  Then, run up either of the purple stairs.  Check out the dead Shinra president, capture Palmer, then go through the door to the north to exit the room.  Outside, talk to the man in white.  He's Rufus, son of the Shinra president.

The other characters will return to the floor below, and you must lead them outside (you can also choose to unequip Aeris' and Cloud's materia in case you want to juggle them around for the upcoming battles).  Your team now consists of Red 13, Barret, and Aeris; don't forget to reequip your Materia (it seems as if the top option removes it....)  Head to the lift (by taking the lower door).  When you activate it, you are attacked by a huge gun-wielding machine while going down the side of the Shinra building.

_________________________________________________________________________
BOSS TIPS: HUNDRED GUNNER                          LV: 18  HP: 1600  MP:0 weak against Lightning

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.
