INCREASES
Here's a little Something New: Increases, That is, good places to gain
Exp, Gil, AP and Win a few Items in the Process!!!

Build Up Areas:

Disc 1:
After Getting the Buggy, Return to Junon and go to the Room below the
Elevator that Rufus used Earlier and Hit The Red Alarm Box on the wall,
Monsters will Appear in the room, These enemies range in anywhere from
900-1500 Exp, 2000-5000 Gil and 100-300 AP!!!!!

Disc 2: Crashed Gelnika makes a Great Level up area, a single battle can earn up to 8000 Exp and 500 AP and a LOT of Gil (Beware, These enemies are TOUGH)

Disc 3: In Sephiroth's Cave (I.E. the North cave) when the path splits, go left, then up. You'll be in a Marshy area, there you can fight Magic
Pots (8000 Exp, 1000 AP and over 20000 Gil a piece) and Movers (0 Exp, but 800 AP and about 50000 Gil and they ALWAYS show up in groups of three!!!) Note: You MUST use an Elixir Or Angel Whisper (!) on a Magic
Pot or you won't be able to harm it :(

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Building Limits
"How do I build my limit level" here's a little something explaining how:

To get a new limit in the same level, just use the Original limit about 8 times

To gain a limit level, Have the character whose limit level you want increased kill anywhere from 60-100 enemies

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECRET MATERIA CAVES
Around the world, there are 4 secret caves that hold only a piece of
Materia but, that Materia is usually very useful (Like KOTR and
Mime) However, they all require colored chocobos to get to them.
Here's where they are and how to get to them:

Cave 1: on a peninsula near Wutai, You need a Green, Black, or Gold
Chocobo to get there, once inside, you'll find the Mime Materia

Cave 2: North of Corel village in a large desert, You need a Black or a
Gold Chocobo to get there, You'll find HPMP inside

Cave 3: On a distant island in the Mideel area, You need a Black or Gold
Chocobo in order to reach this cave, Inside it is The Quadra Magic
Materia

Cave 4: Probably the most popular or the four, this is on a small round island in the very North-East corner or the world map and you MUST have
a Gold Chocobo to get there. This cave Contains the Knights of the Round
(KOTR) Materia!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE KEY TO SECTOR 5
Probably the most commonly asked question among FF7 players
I'm going to reveal the location of this easily missed Key item

Step 1: After Cloud rejoins the team in disc 2, go back to Midgar and a man will be standing outside the town, talk to him to learn about a missing key.

Step 2: Travel to Bone Village and choose to Excavate "Good Treasure" then place diggers if you like (but, it's not necessary) and have them dig near a small piece of metal sticking out of the Wrecked plane near the entrance. (it's across from the blocked door) In the morning, check the Treasure chest, and you should get the Key to sector 5!!! Once inside Midgar, there's really not to much to do, but if you go into the church where you first met Aeris, you'll catch a quick glimpse of her ghost. Also, return to the Wall Market and you can get Tifa's Best
Weapon (See above) then go back and talk to the man who sold you the batteries and he'll offer to sell you the Sneak Glove for 129,000 Gil!!!
But, besides those few things, Midgar's pretty much empty.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

HARD TO FIND ITEMS AND MATERIA
Not exactly for the best items, this list is for easily overlooked items

Yoshiyuki
When you first visit Rocket Town, talk to an old man standing just outside a house below the rocket, keep talking to him and eventually, he'll give you the Yoshiyuki, a weapon for Cloud

Umbrella
Not a very good weapon, but It's hard to find, so...
Go to Gold Saucer and play the Shooting Coaster game and Score over 5000 points. A task that's easier said than done, even for the best players
Note: you can only get the Umbrella in disc 1

Flayer
To get this weapon for Cid, just do the same thing you did to get the
Umbrella Except, do it in disc 2 or 3
Note: The Flayer is stronger than the Venus Gospel, Cid's Ultimate
Weapon!!!

Mega All Materia
A very useful materia, it can only be found in the North Cave (disc 3) when the main path splits, go left then down to find this. It is hanging over a ledge with a waterfall behind it and you have to grab it while jumping (just keep pushing O while jumping)

W-Magic Materia
Also found in the North cave, Except go Left and Up to find it, keep going until you reach a room with a white pit and a forest, there's a little yellowish stone near the edge of the forest, take it, it's W-
Magic. Also before leaving, go to the pit and look for a spot that is slightly darker and push O, you'll get Counter materia.

Final Attack Materia
Another very commonly asked question
This Materia can only be obtained in Disc 2 or 3 at the Gold Saucer
Battle Square. After buying Omnislash and W-Summon, you'll be offered a chance at a special battle, that contains tougher monsters than the normal battle (including Proud Clod...Yikes!!!) if you win the Special battle, you'll get Final Attack materia as your prize!!!

Contain Materia
You can get this Materia in Mideel, just talk to the little white chocobo and give it a Mimmet green (Note that the game says you're giving it a "Samolen" green, that's just another of many mistakes in
FF7) and when it the lead character asks where he/she should tickle the chocobo, choose "Behind his ear" and you will get Contain Materia!!!
(Could this be ANY easier?!?!?!?!)

Curse Ring
You can also get this item in Mideel (but only before it gets destroyed) check the back door of the weapon shop to discover it's locked, then go to the house at the end of the bridge near the entrance to town and walk around to the right side of it and if you're in the right spot, you should hear a faint click, Push O when you hear the click to get an old
Key, return to the weapon shop and try to open the door with the key, when the shopkeeper asks what's going on, just tell him the truth and he will give you the Curse Ring.

FullCure Materia
This can be found in Cosmo Canyon (disc 2 or 3), if you were at the item shop earlier in the game, you may have noticed a door behind the counter, but couldn't get there because a rope was blocking you, well in disc 2 and 3, that rope will be gone and you can get to the back room, check the green stone on the table to get FullCure, and check the bag on the floor to get a Magic Source and an Elixir.

Guide Book and Underwater Materia
These Rare and Unusual items are linked together, so I'll cover them both at the same time.

The Guide Book: This can be found in the passage leading to the Undersea
Mako reactor at Junon (the underwater passage) Keep fighting until you meet an enemy called a Ghost Ship, You can Morph it into a Guide Book
(By killing it with Morph...Duh)

Underwater Materia: Once you have the Guide Book, Return to Kalm town and give it to the "Traveler" in exchange, he'll give you the Underwater
Materia which Eliminates the twenty minute timer when fighting Emerald
Weapon.

W-Item
I'm really not sure exactly why, but this materia gets missed very often also. During the Raid in Midgar near the end of Disc 2, Proceed as normal until you get to the brown train tunnel, then, instead of going up to the Sister ray, Head down, you'll keep passing repeating screens, and occasionally, you'll find a treasure chest. (They all contain
Various "Source" Items) Keep going down and you will meet Red XIII,
Ignore his warning and continue going down, Eventually, You'll come to a dead end path with a save point and a Yellow Materia, This materia is, of course, W-Item. Note that you cant go back any further...I'll bet this path would lead to the train tunnel blocked by laser beams at the beginning of the game......
(If you think going all the way down here to get W-Item is a waste of time, see the Item Duplication trick for a motivating reason to get it!!)

Kalm Secrets
Maybe it isn't obvious to everyone, but there are many secrets in Kalm
Town:

Ether - Look in the Door Below the Stairs in the "Traveler's" house

Ether - Look in a Closet on the right-hand wall in the house closest to the inn

Ether - Go upstars in the house closest to the stairs and open the cabinet that is next to the Locked Trunk (Anyone know how to open that thing????)

Guard Source - In the Middle Building, Go up the Straight Starcase and open the dresser next to the girl there

Peacemaker - In the same Building where you got the Guard Source, Climb the spiral staircase and open the Treasure chest there to get it
