the guard at the north building). Then go to the inn and pay 10 gil
to spend the night. In the middle of the night, you’ll find
yourself in front of the vending machine in the outer hallway. Pick
any option (I hope you have enough gil). The next morning, return
to the pottery shop and talk to the man to get an item:
– 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 *can you guess?* 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 Attack. 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
the bottom option. Then talk to the girl and you’ll get the
Lingerie.
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 bead 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
(yeowtch!) and Corneo will ask you a question; pick any answer you
like and you’ll still plummet to the sewers below.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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
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 producs (this
is the 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 enounter 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
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. 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
files, write down the first letter of the file name, and when you get
all four, try to organize them into a word. Then talk to Domino, and
find which word matches the one you came up with (or at least hast the
letters you found). 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 of the screen and open the gate farthest to the right.
Head right and open the left-hand gate, then walk right and go south
to enter the room where A Coupon is. Choose the top option to climb
