Mission: Destroy Mako Reactor #1! Items in this area: 3 Potions, 1 Phoenix Down, 1 Restore Materia Things start off with a bang as your main character (Cloud, as he will be referred to hereafter in this walkthrough) and several others jump off the train in the hopes of destroying Mako reactor #1. Once off the train, check the unconscious guards bodies for 2 Potions. As you follow the team off screen, two guards attack you. This fight is very easy, all you need do is attack each of them once. Once to the gate, talk to Wedge (the fat one) and he'll ask you what your name is. After they leave, follow them through the streets and into the mako reactor. A set of security doors blocks your path. Talk to Biggs and Jessie each time, and they'll decipher the codes for you, and allow you to pass. After going through the second set of doors, detour to the right and collect the Phoenix Down from the chest in the room. Now go back into the room you were in, and take the elevator. Once out of the elevator, talk to Jessie, she'll give you a quick lesson on ladders, then get out of your way. Make sure to grab the Potion by her new position before leaving the room. Battle Note: A lot of enemies in this area are machines, which are weak against the lightning element. Use the bolt spell to short circuit them. Once in the next room, follow the ladder downward, until you get to a weird looking thing on the ground. This is a "save point", which allows you to save your progress in the game. You'll be using these lots as the game progresses, so make sure to keep an eye out for them! To use one, step on it, bring up the menu, select "save", select the slot your memory card is inserted in, and choose the file you want to save it on. Continue up the screen until you run into a green circle-looking thing. It's a Restore materia, the first materia you've found in the game! You can't use it yet, but just keep it in mind, as you'll be able to soon. Continue in that direction, and have Cloud place the bomb. Now get ready for your first boss fight! Semi-Boss Fight: Guard Scorpion This boss fight isn't too difficult. Have Cloud hammer it with Bolt spells, and Barret using physical attacks. If either of them gets their Limit Break, use it. Make sure to have them use potions on themselves when their HP gets low. After taking a good amount of damage, it will raise it's tail, and Cloud will warn Barret. At this point, don't do anything, except using potions if you need them. Attacking it will cause it to hit you with a special attack that causes tonsa damage. After a while, it will put it's tail back down, and you can finish it off. After destroying the machine, a security alarm goes off! You now have 10 minutes to get out of the reactor, before your bomb blows it to bits. Run back the way you came, back towards the entrance. Once off the elevator, talk to Biggs and Jessie again, to have them open the security doors. If after doing this you still have some spare time, (say 4-5 minutes), you can run around and fight some battles until the time gets low, to get stronger. When you're ready to leave, take the exit, and sit back and watch it burn, baby! Not out of the Woods yet After escaping from the reactor, and listening to Barret talk, follow him off screen. There's a girl selling flowers in the streets, make sure to buy one from her! Ok, you don't have to, but geez, they're only a gil! Buying one now might help you out later too... afterwards, follow her off-screen. As you walk around, talk to some people to get their reactions to you're handiwork. Make sure to grab the Potion before exiting this screen and heading south. On the next screen, some Shinra soldiers catch up to you. You can either fight or run, or just stand there, which is the same as choosing fight. Whichever you choose, you'll eventually be surrounded, and Cloud will jump over the rail and leave the Shinra suckers behind. And of course, it's the same train our buddies Avalanche are on. What a coincidence. After talking to Jessie and learning about how the train security system works, the train will come to a stop in Sector 7 slums. Welcome home. Home Sweet Home Once downstairs, talk to everyone, and then talk to Barret. He'll ask you a few questions about Soldier, then yell at you once again (he seems to be good at that, huh?). Tifa tries to break things up, but yo Spiky-headed self isn't about to let that one go. Try to leave, and Tifa will stop you. Boring movie time. yay. After we learn a bit about Tifa and
Cloud's past, Barret gives Cloud his payment, 1500 Gil, which isn't much.
Afterwards, everyone grabs a few Z's, even so-called "terrorists" need
a break sometimes. Exploring Sector 7 Before
setting off on your next big mission, you might want to tour Sector 7. It
may not be here one of these days, ya know... |
