FFVII Tips, Tricks and Cheats
Using the W-item Materia:
Select one item to
use in battle, and use it. Now select another item, and
select a person to use it one, but press X (cancel)
before using it. The item will automatically go up by
one. You may use this repeatedly and stock up on
items.
By using this trick, one can stock up on
expensive greens for chocobos. One can also use this to
get 99 elixers, then go to the area in the Northern Cave
with the Magic Pots, and feed each one an elixir. You
can get 8,000 exp. and 1,000 AP per Magic Pot
defeated.
Extra
money:
Sell a Master level All materia to get
1.4 million Gil. Since another All materia will appear
when the original reaches master level, there will be no
loss in usefulness.
Prevent back
attacks:
If a battle begins with a "Back
Attack", press L1 + R1 to turn your character around
before your opponents get a shot.
Nibelheim safe
combination:
The combination to the safe in the old
mansion in Nibelheim that contains the key to enter the
basement (and get Vincent) is Right 36, Left 10, Right
59, Right 97. Note: Push the button used to talk to
people to select each number. After opening the safe and
fighting the monster inside, a key to the other part of
the mansion and Odin summon materia will be
found.
Take the key from the safe that contained
the Odin summoning materia in Nibelheim. After defeating
the Boss, Lost Number, walk down into the basement. Open
the door that was previously locked (right before enter
the room with Sephiroth). Talk with Vincent, after
finding him inside the purple coffin. When leaving the
room, he will offer to join the party.
Turtle's Paradise
prizes:
The Turtle's Paradise restaurant in Wutai
has hidden six flyers with their advertisement in
various locations. Collect all six flyers and return
them to the restaurant owner to receive a prize
consisting of a Power Source, Guard Source, Magic
Source, Mind Source, Speed Source, Luck Source, and a
Megalixer. The flyers are located in the following
places: Sector 5 slums, on the wall upstairs in a house
on the east side of town. Posted on the bulletin board
of the lobby of Shinra HQ. On the wall next to the item
shop in the Ghost Hotel at Gold Saucer. Attached to the
wall at the Tiger Lily Arms Shop in Cosmo Canyon. On the
wall next to the inn keeper's desk. In Yuffie's basement
(next to Turtle's Paradise), check the banner on the
wall outside the trap room.
Materia to beat
Weapons:
Use the following steps to make
the battle with the Emerald and Ruby Weapons easier.
Note: This must be done after Meteor is summoned and the
Highwind is in your possession. 1. Before fighting
either Weapons, find and equip the Morph Matera before
returning to the Undersea Reactor in Junon. Go through
the sight-seeing tunnel (where the ocean can be viewed)
and enter battles until the Ghost Ship appears. Use
Morph when the enemy is low on HP to change them into an
item called "Guide Book". 2. Leave Junon and return to
Kalm. Go to the last house on the right, next to the
bar. Go upstairs, where an old man will be encountered.
He will explain how he wants to understand the
afterlife, and ask you to find three items: Guide Book,
Earth Harp, and Desert Rose. He will notice that you
already have Guide Book and give you the Underwater
Materia. 3. Equip the Underwater Materia. It does not
gain AP and will not duplicate. This Materia removes the
time limit when Emerald Weapon is encountered. 4. Defeat
Emerald Weapon (a few mastered Mime and Knights of the
Round will be helpful) to receive Earth Harp. Take it
back to Kalm and give it to the old man to receive
Master Summon (Red), Master Magic (Green), and Master
Command (Yellow) Materia. These Materia can not level up
or duplicate, but have all the abilities of their single
counterparts. Master Summon grants all Summons for as
long as MP are available. A similar effect is also used
by Master Magic. Master Command is a little difficult to
work with, but is still worth it. 5. Equip the new
Materia and ram into Ruby, who is minding its own
business in Gold Saucer. With luck, the single character
Ruby allows to stay and fight will be ready to deal with
this massacre. 6. Defeat Ruby and take Desert Rose to
the man in Kalm to receive a Gold Chocobo. You probably
will already have one, as Knights Of The Round is
required for the Weapons battles. A good combo to use
against the Weapons is HP Absorb + Knights (mega damage
and mega boost in HP).
Easier Ruby Weapon battle:
Kill
two members of your party before fighting Ruby Weapon.
Have the Summon Phoenix materia equipped on the
remaining character, then run into Ruby Weapon. When
fighting, Ruby will only attack the live character, and
therefore not use the Quicksand attack. Wait until the
Weapon sticks his claws in the ground. Then, use Summon
Phoenix to attack it and revive the dead party members.
All three party members are now available for the
battle. Another strategy is to have all characters
equipped with the Final Attack + Revive or Phoenix
materia combination. Have one character equipped with a
weapon or armor containing Knights Of The Round + MP
Turbo. Also have a Mastered Magic Plus materia (not MP
Plus) somewhere else in the weapon or armor of each
character. Have all three people wear the Mystile armor
(first from Midgar Raid, second from North Cave, third
from Ultimate Weapon when it is over Midgar). This will
prevent Ruby's Ultima attack from injuring your
characters. Kill two characters, then enter the battle
with Ruby Weapon. When the Weapon's claws are in the
ground, revive the two dead characters, and have
W-Summon cast Knights Of The Round and have the other
two characters Mime. This will hit Ruby Weapon for 9999
damage each time. It should be defeated after eight to
ten rounds of this type of attack. Another strategy is
to kill two of your characters, then equip the following
materia combination: HP Absorb + Knights Of The Round,
W-Summon, Mime. Use a hero drink, then summon the
Knights Of The Round. Each time he/she will gain over
9,000 HP points. Then, simply Mime this attack until the
Weapon is defeated. Another strategy is to use Mime in
addition to the Final Attack + Phoenix materia
combination. Get Cloud's limit bar full, and start the
battle. Ruby will take your other two characters away
with Quicksand. Attack with Omnislash. At Cloud's next
turn, select Mimic and Cloud will use the Omnislash
again. Repeat this attack. The only drawback to this
strategy, is the need for a little bit in the limit
meter. Without it, Cloud will jump forward after a brief
flash, and Ruby Weapon will attack. When Cloud does the
limit, the game will act as though you had a full limit
bar, and delete all that remains in it. To effectively
make this trick work, make sure Ruby Weapon hits Cloud
before doing the Omnislash again.
Easier
Emerald Weapon battle:
Equip a member of
your party with a Gravity materia, at any level. It will
hit the Emerald Weapon for 9,999 damage. Using this and
the Quad-Magic combo can take almost 40,000 hit points
from one attack round alone. Another strategy is to
equip the following materia combination: HP Absorb +
Knights Of The Round, W-Summon, Mime, Underwater (and
nothing else). Use a hero drink, then summon the Knights
Of The Round. Each time he/she will gain over 9,000 HP
points. Then, simply Mime this attack until the Weapon
is defeated. Keep your materia number as low as
possible, the more materia equipped, the more the
Weapon's Air Tam Stomp will effect the party. For
example, if four materia are equipped the Air Tam Stomp
will take off 4444 HP points, five materia will result
in 5555 HP points and so on.
Extra Gil:
When at
the Gold Saucer Prison, go out in the desert and fight a
enemy called Cactuar. Defeat him to get 10,000 Gil. This
creature can also be found at Cactuar Island on the
south-east area of the map, or south of Cosmo
Canyon.
Exchange Gil for
GP:
When at Gold Saucer go through the
welcome sign then come back out again. Keep on doing
this until a man appears in the far background, near the
save location. Approach him, and he will ask if you want
to change Gil into GP. Answer yes to trade up to 10,00
Gil into 100 GP.
Key to Sector
5:
Late in the game, go to the Number 7 gate
at Midgar. A man outside the door will say that he lost
his key to the city at an excavation site. The only
excavation site is at Bone Village. Go there and talk to
the man that asks about what you are searching. Reply
"normal treasure" and place your excavators on the upper
area. Eventually, a box will turn up after multiple
digs. Search it in the morning to find the
key.
Cloud
mercenary flashback:
After Cloud has had
his coma, go to the basement at the Shinra Mansion.
Enter the library and Cloud have a flashback and
remember how he became a mercenary.
Back room of Cosmo
Canyon General Store:
The
General store in Cosmo Canyon has a back room that is
roped off when your characters first arrive. Check back
after Meteor has been summoned. The rope will be gone,
allowing your characters to walk back in the room and
get an Elixir, Magic Source, and the "Full Cure"
Materia.
Sleeping
old man:
Directly East of Junon is a small cave
that is only accessible using the Highwind or riding on
a blue/gold Chocobo. The old man in the cave can tell
you how many times your party has fought or escaped. You
can also get helpful items from him, but the last two
digits in the times you have fought must be the same.
For instance, speaking to him after you have fought 699
times may get you the Bolt Ring.
Date with
Tifa:
Never talk to Aeris unless it is vital
for progression of the game. Then, Cloud will get a date
with Tifa after Aeris dies.
Date with
Barret:
Never talk to Aeris or Tifa
unless it is vital for progression for the game. Then,
once Kalm has entered for the first time, Barret will
ask Cloud for a date.
Bahamnant ZERO Summon
Materia details:<
Walk around after boarding the
Shinra No. 26 spaceship on disc two. Your party will be
able to go down to the space pod or up the ladder to the
right to the huge materia. Go to the huge materia and
use the talk button at the tall glass to speak with Cid.
He will explain the controls in this part of the game.
Talk again at the case and enter the password Circle,
Square, X, X to collect the Key Item "Huge Materia".
After travelling to Cosmo Canyon later in the game, talk
to Bugenhagen. He will take your party up to his
observatory. Approach to the Blue huge materia and get
closer. Your party will receive the Bahamnant ZERO
summon materia.
Easy Power Source for
super strength:
Go to the meltdown reactor at
Gonganga town. Then, get into a battle with a Heavy
Tank. Morph it to get a Power Source to build your
strength up by a point. Repeat this as needed to build
as much strength as needed.
Status display:
The highest number shown on the status
menu is 255. However the game will allow items on that
screen to be built higher, but will not display anything
greater than that number.
Extra
Ribbons:
Go to Geas Cliff. In the first
cave after wrapping around to the bridge overlooking the
door that was used to enter, walk straight to enter a
cave with a box. Open it to find a ribbon. For a third
ribbon, go to North Cave and morph a Master Tonbury. It
is helpful if it is stopped first.
Extra Tetra
elemental:
Go to Cactuar Island in the
south-west portion of the map. Explore until a Cactuar
appears. Then, morph it to get the Tetra
elemental.
Maneuvering the
Highwind:
The Highwind can be turned
sideways or flown backwards without turning around. Hold
Square and press the D-pad in the desired direction
while flying.
Cosmo Canyon
song:
You can play the Cosmo Canyon song on
your own by going to Tifa's house in Nibelheim. Then,
press Square, Square, Square, X, Square, Circle, Circle,
R1 + X, Circle, R1 + Square, R1 + Square, R1 + Square,
R1 + X, Circle, R1 + X, R1 + Square, R1 + X, Circle, R1
+ X, R1 + Square, Circle, Square, X, Circle, Square, X,
Square. Note: This serves no purpose in the
game.
Getting a
Gold Chocobo:
Get a Green Chocobo by mating two Great
Chocobos or two Good Chocobos. Obtain Carob nuts by
buying some the Gold Saucer Wonder Square for 500 GP or
by stealing them from the Vlakarados creatures found
near the Bone Village. Get the Chocobos to the S class,
then give them a Carob nut. Race the Green Chocobo until
it is in S class. Then, use a Carob nut and mate the
same or different Chocobos. Then, race the Blue Chocobo
until it is in S class. Use a Carob nut and mate the
Blue and Green Chocobos. You will get a Black Chocobo.
Race it until it is a S class Chocobo. Then, go to the
Chocobo Tracks around the Icicle Inn area and get a
Wonderful Chocobo. Race it until it is a S class
Chocobo. Find the Zeio Nut on an island north of the
Chocobo Farm. You can steal it from a Goblin that your
party fights. If you do not steal anything at first, try
a few more times then kill them and try again. Mate the
Black Chocobo with the Wonderful Chocobo using a Zeio
Nut. You should now have a Gold Chocobo that can go
anywhere on the map.
Chocobo quality
Different Chocobo ranks can be found in
various areas of the game: Chocobo Ranch area: Poor/Weak
Junon area: Fair/Poor Gold Saucer area: Good/Average
Rocket Town area: Mediocre Wutai area: Average/Fair
Icicle Inn area: Wonderful/Weak Mideel area:
Great/Fair
Ancient forest:
Ride up
the hill with a black, gold, or green Chocobo to reach
the Ancient Forest before disc 3.
Getting Yuffie in the
party:
Yuffie can found in a random
encounter in one of the forest areas. After fighting
her, do not pause or use the save point. Talk to her and
answer her questions with the following
responses:
Yuffie: "You spikey-headed jerk! One more
time, let's go one more time!"
Answer: Not interested.
Yuffie: "You're pretty scared of me,
huh?"
Answer: ......petrified<
Yuffie: "I'm really gonna leave!
REALLY!"
Answer: Wait a second!
Yuffie: "You want me to go with
you?"
Answer: ......That's right.
Yuffie: "All right! I'll go with
you!"
Answer: ......Let's hurry on.
