The key to the city There is a way to get back into Midgar, without going through the assault. Instead of flying over Midgar, land and walk into
it. Here you will see a man standing next to the Sector 7 Gate. If you talk to him, you will find that he thinks he lost his
key "at that excavation site". Well, there is only one of those found in the world. Hop on the Highwind, and travel to Bone
Village. Here, ask to look for "normal treasure", and place the men in the top area. With any luck, you will get the key.
You can now return to Midgar, and head on in. This is the only way to get Tifa's Premium Heart, and the Sneak Glove Accessory.
Crashed Gelnika
The Gelnika plane crashed off the Costa Del Sol shore. It was en-route to deliver massive weapons to destroy Meteor. It is
assumed that WEAPON sent it to the ocean floor.
*WARNING* Emerald WEAPON is roaming the ocean floor. He may be in front of the plane when you
get there, or leave. To get him to move, simply surface and dive again. But above all, save before you dive, and when you
leave the Gelnika. You really do not want to risk running into him!
The Gelnika is one of the more dangerous places in the game. It is in your best interest to save, even if you saved on shore.
The entrance is monster free, and you are able to get your first item. It is Cloud's Heaven's Cloud Sword. In the door
to Clouds right, you will find the Generator Room. In here you will discover the Escort Guard, Double-Cut Materia, 2 Megalixirs,
and Yuffie's ultimate weapon Conformer. (The Conformer, and Double-Cut Materia are well concealed. Just look in both top corners
for them)
Return to the entrance, and head into the room to the left. Here you will fight Rude and Reno. (Only if you have not fought
them in the Midgar assault yet) After the battle, continue to the next room. This is the Hangar, and where all the real goodies are. On the top tier, you will find 2 more Megalixirs, and Cid's Spirit
Lance. On the bottom, you will find the Hades Materia, Vincent's Outsider, and Cid's Highwind Limit Break. Be very careful
roaming around in here. Shinra has some nasty abominations for you to fight. If you are strong enough, each Unknown morphs
into a different source item. This is a great way to max some of your characters stats out. A fast way to beat them is have
a Added Effect+Gravity on your weapon, and morph away!
When you are done and ready to leave, you need to SAVE! If you run into WEAPON outside, you will die. Do you really want to
go through this again??
The past complete
When Cloud and Tifa struggle through his past, they managed to skip over one thing...how did Cloud end up in Midgar with Zach's
sword? Well, after you get control of Cloud back, head back to the Shinra Mansion basement. When you enter the lab, Cloud
will have a flashback. It will explain how they escaped, how they made it to Midgar, and what happened to Zach.
These are covered in more detail in the short film "Last Order: Final Fantasy VII. Though there is some controversy as to
which is true. Some things that happen or are said, do not happen, or are done wrong from the game.
Vacation home for sale
In Costa Del Sol, there is a home for sale. You can buy it for the incredibly low price of 300,000 Gil! There is not much
you can do here, accept for resting for free. But there are some nice prizes in the basement, (Motor Drive, Power source,
and Fire Ring) that you can get at any time.
Turtle Paradise flyer give away
Wutai's Turtle Paradise is having a promotional give-away. If you can spot their six flyers scattered across the world,
they will give you a pretty descent reward. Here is the locations of these elusive flyers.
FLYER #1
FLYER #2
FLYER #3
The first flyer is in the top floor of the eastern-most house of sector 5. This
one needs to be obtained before the Pillar Assault Mission.
The second is inside Shinra HQ. it is in the lobby in the back area. If you
do not get this one on one of your two visits here, you missed out!
Flyer #3 is located in the lobby of the Ghost Hotel, inside Gold Saucer.
FLYER #4
FLYER #5
FLYER #6
The fourth flyer is hanging on the eapon sellers stand, in Cosmo Canyon.
The fifth flyer is next door to the fourth, at the inn in Cosmo Canyon.
The final flier is in Wutai itself. It is on the wall in Yuffie's basement.
Ok, I bet you are wanting to know what the pay off is for getting all 6 fliers huh? Well if you return to Wutai,
and talk to the bar keep, he will give you one of each source item, and a Megalixir. Not a bad prize at all, considering you
really did nothing to get them.
