ANCIENT FOREST
THE ANCIENT
FOREST IS LOCATED ON A CLIFF EAST OF COSMO CANYON. YOU CAN ONLY REACH THE FOREST BY EITHER A GREEN, BLACK, OR
GOLD CHOCOBO, OR BY DEFEATING ULTIMATE WEAPON. THIS FOREST HAS GREAT ITEMS FOR THE TAKING, BUT
CAN BE TRICKY TO GET THROUGH.
THE FOREST IS BASICALLY A PUZZLE, IN WHICH YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT IN ORDER TO ADVANCE. THE "PIECES"
ARE THE ANIMALS
AND WILDLIFE IN THE FOREST. THESE ITEMS ARE LISTED BELOW. YOU NEED TO USE EACH OF THEM, IN ORDER
TO GET TO THE NEXT AREA.
INSECTS
ISECTS ARE
THE TINY LITTLE BLACK OBJECTS BOUNCING UP AND DOWWN. (SORRY NO IMAGE YET) THESE FLYS CAN BE PLACED INTO FLYTRAPS,
TEMPORARILY CREATING A BRIDGE FOR CLOUD TO CROSS. THEY CAN ALSO BE PLACED IN FRONT OF TREE HOLLOWS,
TO LURE OUT A FROG.
FROGS
FROGS ARE
THE LITTLE GREEN....FROGS JUMPING AROUND THE AREAS. IF THERE IS A TREE HOLLOW, YOU CAN PLACE A FLY IN FRONT OF IT
, TO LURE ONE OUT. FROGS ARE USED IN PITCHER PLANTS, TO LAUNCH YOU TO OTHER AREAS, OR TO HIGHER
LEDGES.
TREE HOLLOW
TREE HOLLOWS
ARE HIDING PLACES FOR FROGS. TO GET ONE OUT, YOU NEED TO PLACE A INSECT IN FRONT OF THE HOLOLOW, AND A FROG WILL
JUMP OUT TO GET IT. SORRY ONLY ONE FROG PER HOLLOW, UNTIL YOU LEAVE THE AREA.
PITCHER
PLANT
PITCHER
FLOWERS ARE USED AS STEPPING STONES WHEN INSECTS ARE PLACED INSIDE THEM. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE INSECT WILL GET SWALLOWED.
ALSO YOU CAN PLACE FROGS INSIDE THE PLANTS. THE PLANT WILL NOT, HOWEVER, SWALLOW THE FROG.
INSTEAD IT WILL SPIT IT OUT
AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE DIRECTION YOU ARE
FACING
MUTANT
FLYTRAPS
THESE ARE
NASTY FLOWERS. IF YOU GET TOO CLOSE TO THEM, THEY WILL SNAP SHUT, INJURING YOUR PARTY. YOU CAN EITHER FIND YOUR
WAY AROUND THEM, OR YOU MAY NEED A BEEHIVE TO GET BY THESE MONSTER FLOWERS.
BEEHIVES
BEEHIVES ARE
LITTLE BLUE OBJECTS FOUND ON THESE PLATE TYPE THINGS. PLACING THE BEEHIVE IN THE MUTANT FLOWER, WILL MAKE THE
FLY TRAP SHUT, UNTIL YOU LEAVE THE AREA
SPRINGY
STAMEN
SPRINGY STAMEN
ARE USED TO GAIN ACCESS TO NEW AREAS, OR TO GET YOU TO HIGHER LEVELS. JUST GET UNDER ONE, AND PRESS THE ENTER
BUTTON TO GRAB IT.
BELOW ARE
THE AREAS IN DETAIL, AND A DETAILED WALKTHROUGH OF EACH AREA. BEFORE
ENTERING THE ANCIENT FOREST, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH STUFF TO KEEP YOU ALIVE WITH MAGIC, AS THERE
IS NO RESTING. ALSO BE
SURE TO SAVE. IF YOU ARE IN THE FOREST, AND YOU FIND YOU ARE GETTING A LITTLE LOW IN SUPPLIES OR
HEALTH, YOU CAN RESTART THE
FOREST, AND LEAVE AT ANY TIME BY PRESSING THE SQUARE BUTTON.
AREA 1
GATHER THE
THREE INSECTS NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE AREA, AND PLACE THEM BY THE PITCHER FLOWERS. WHEN YOU GET THEM CLOSE, BEGIN
PLACING THEM INTO THE FLOWERS. THIS WILL GET YOU OVER THE RAVINE.
TO GET THE ITEM IN THE CENTER OF THE FLY TRAP, WALK SLOWLY HITTING THE ENTER BUTTON, UNTIL
YOU RECEIVE THE ITEM. BE CAREFUL,
IF YOU WALK ON IT TOO MUCH, IT WILL SNAP SHUT, AND GET YOU.
BE SURE TO GO AROUND THE TREE FOR THE SPRING GUN CLIP, BEFORE YOU HEAD INTO THE NEXT AREA.
AREA 2
WHEN YOU ENTER
AREA 2,PICK UP THE FLY IN THE BEGINNING, AND USE THE SPRINGY STAMEN TO REAH THE LEDGE BY THE HOLLOW. GO TO
THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE CLIFF, AND PLACE THE FLY IN THE PITCHER PLANT. IF IT ACCIDENTLY GETS EATEN
BY THE FROG IN THE HOLLOW,
JUST USE THE FROG IN THE PITCHER PLANT. THIS WILL GET YOU ACCROSS THE FLY TRAP. WHEN YOU GET TO
THE OTHER SIDE, GET THE FROG,
AND RUN UP THE GRASSY SLOPE. PLACE THE FROG IN THE LEFT PITCHER PLANT, AND HOP ON. MAKE SURE TO
BE FACING LEFT WHEN YOU GET
LAUCHED. THIS SHOULD PLACE YOU NEXT TO THE BEEHIVE. GET THE BEEHIVE, AND JUMP OFF. PLACE THE BEEHIVE
IN THE FLY TRAP, CAUSING
IT TO SHUT ITS TRAP. YOU CAN THEN GET THE SLASH-ALL MATERIA. AFTER YOU GET THE MATERIA, GRAB THE
FROG AGAIN, AND TAKE IT TO
THE PITCHER PLANTS. THIS TIME AROUND, PLACE IT IN THE RIGHT PLANT. MAKE SURE YOU ARE FACING RIGHT,
AND THE FROG WILL LAUNCH
YOU INTO THE NEXT AREA.
AREA 3
IN THE THIRD
AREA, FIND THE TWO ISECTS AND PLACE THEM IN THE PITCHER PLANTS. THIS GIVES YOU ACCESS TO THE SPRINGY STAMEN.
WHEN YOU GRAB THE STAMEN, YOU ARE THRUST INTO THE TREE TOPS. HERE, GO TO YOUR RIGHT, UNTIL
YOU A BROKEN BRANCH. GO UP THE BRANCH, CONTINUING RIGHT, AND PICK UP THE TYPOON MATERIA. THEN RETURN
TO WHERE YOU CAME INTO
THE TREE TOPS, AND HEAD LEFT DOWN THE TREE TRUNK, AND BACK TO AREA 2. PICK UP THE MANERVA BAND,
AND HOP OFF. RETURN TO AREA
THREE, AND AGAIN USE THE INSECTS TO REACH THE STAMEN. IN THE TREE TOPS, AGAIN GO RIGHT. THIS TIME,
GO DOWN THE SIDE OF THE
BRANCH, RATHER THAN UP IT, AND CONTINUE INTO AREA 3.
IN THIS SECTION, YOU NEED TO GRAB THE INSECT, AND PLACE IT IN THE PITCHER PLANT, TO GET THE
BEEHIVE. PUT THE BEEHIVE IN
THE FLY TRAP, AND GET THE SECOND INSECT. PUT IT INTO THE LOWER PITCHER PLANT TO GET BACK TO THE
LEFT. ONCE THERE, GRAB ONE
OF THE INSECTS, AND PLACE IT IN FRONT OF THE HOLLOW. WHEN THE FROG COMES OUT, GRAB THE OTHER INSECT,
AND PLACE IT IN THE PITCHER
PLANT TO RETURN TO THE OTHER SIDE. QUICKLY GRAB THE FROG, AND RETURN TO THE RIGHT SIDE. PLACE THE
FROG IN THE RIGHT MOST PITCHER
PLANT, AND HOP ON. MAKE SURE YOU ARE FACING RIGHT, AND THE PLANT WILL SHOOT YOU ONTO A LEDGE WITH
A CAVE. ENTER THE CAVE.
AREA 4
INSIDE THE
CAVE, THERE ARE NO PUZZLES. THIS IS A STRAIGHT SHOT. GRAB THE APOCALYPSE SWORD FOR CLOUD, AND AN ELIXIR, AND EXIT
THE CAVE AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN.
CONGRADULATIONS, YOU JUST MADE IT THROUGH THE ANCIENT FOREST. IF YOU ARE IN BAD SHAPE, USE
A TENT, AND HEAL UP. ABOVE
ALL, SAVE YOUR GAME. YOU WOULD REALLY HATE TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THERE AGAIN....UNLESS YOU WANTED
TO.
