HINTS/TIPS

LOCATION OF YUFFIE & VINCENT

Yuffie
Yuffie is in the forest close to Junon, first you fight her, after you beat her she wants to have a chat with you, first of all don't go to the save just talk to her, if you say the right things she will join your group.

Vincent
Vincent is in the basement in the manson at Nibelheim, first the key to the basement door is in the safe along with Cosmo Memory and Odin once you get the key go into the basement and open up the middle coffin, Vincent will talk to you when you get to choose something to say say "What do you know about Sephiroth", then you tell him all this stuff about sephiroth, then he goes back into the coffin, open the coffin again and say "what is your name", you get to put in his name, then you learn some interesting facts about him, then he goes back into his coffin, then leave and head for the stairs, half way there he will interupt you and join your group.

NIBELHEIM SAFE

The combination to the safe is, turn it to the right till it reachs 36, then to left to 10, then to the right again to 59, and lastly right to 97, all this must be done in 20 seconds and you can not go past the number you are trying to reach.

CHOCOBO BREEDING

You can breed Chocobos at the chocobo farm when you are on the second CD, when you breed them they can mutate and have different abilities like walking in Rivers or Oceans or the can walk over Mountains, to be able to breed chocobos you need to purchase stalls from the little kid in the farm.

Mountain or River Chocobo

First get two chocobos a male or a female from the tracks by Rocket Town, after that you need to get a Carob nut, you can get these after killing these big red dinosaur type guys that are around in the grass close to the sleeping forest, after that you should race the chocobos to get there class higher (this gives you a better possibility of getting a mutation), then go back to the chocobo farm and save it before you enter, then mate the two, if you do get a mutation it will either be a River Chocobo (blue) or a Mountain Chocobo (green), if you don't you should just reset it and try again.

River/Mountain Chocobo

After you get a Mountain and River chocobo (they will have to be of the opposite sex), get another Carob nut, and race the new chocobos, then mate them and hope you will get a Mountain River chocobo (black).

Ocean Chocobo

After you get a Mountain/River chocobo, go to the chocobo tracks in the snow on the northern continnent and get a wonderfull chocobo, then after that get in your airship and fly to the small cluster of islands in the upper right part of the map, there you will fight some guys and get a Zeio nut, then mate the M/R chocobo and the Wonderfull chocobo, to get a Ocean chocobo.

Learning Limit Breaks
For all the characters except Vincent and Cait Sith (because they have less than 6 limit breaks) you can learn limit breaks by either killing a number of people or using the previous limit break sevral times. This is what I have discovered, at the beginning you have a level 1, use that level 1 sevral times to learn the second level 1, then to learn the first level 2 kill alot of people, to learn the second level 2 do the first level 2 several times, and then kill alot of people to get the first level 3, then use that level 3 several times to learn the last level 3, and the level 4 needs to be found. Just to help make some sense out of that here is an example. With cloud to learn Cross Slash do Braver sevral times, to learn Blade Beam kill alot of people, to learn Climhazzard do Blade Beam several times, to learn Meteo Rain kill alot of people, to learn Finishing touch do Meteo Rain several times.

ROCKET SHIP, HUGE MATERIA CODE
When you are in the space ship and they ask you to enter in the code to open up the container holding the huge materia press Circle, Square, X,X, and it will open up, without this materia you can't get Bahamaut0.

EXTRA THINGS TO DO AT THE END OF THE GAME

Key to Midgar
At the end of the game you will notice that if you try to go into midgar there will be a guy there that will say that he lost the key to the door, and that he lost it while he was on some type of tour. Well the key to the door is in the town where the entrance to the sleeping forest is. You talk to the guy and say look for good treasure. Plant the guys around and then they will point to it, dig there and you will find the key to midgar.

Suite
If you go to Costa Del Sol with alot of money, go into the door near the bridge that has "Costa Del Sol" next to it, and talk to the guy that is lying on the bed, you may have to bug him a bit but you will be able to buy the house.

Guy in Kalm
At the end of the game there is a old guy in Kalm that wants to pray for the world, but to do so he needs three items, the Desert Rose, the Guide Book, and something else. Each time you find one of these items and give it to him he gives you something. When you beat Emerald Weapon you will get the thing that I forgot, if you give it to him he will give you a Mastered Summon, a Mastered Magic, and a Mastered Command. When you beat Ruby weapon you will get the desert rose, if you give this to the guy he will give you a good Ocean Chocobo. I dont know where to get the Guidebook, I dont know what you get either.

REFERENCE TO EVANGELION If you go to the Gold Saucer and into the Battle arena there will be a trophie room to your right go in there and look around, in the right corner there is an item called "D-Type Equipment", if you have no idea what Evangelion is I pity you and hope that one day you will see one of its many episodes (you know it has to be good if Squaresoft pays tribute to it). The D-Type Equipement comes from one of the most popular episodes in Japan called Magna diver where they need the equipment to enter into a valcano.
WEAPON

Ultima Weapon
This is the Weapon you fight and the easiest. You first fight it in Mideel when you are TOLD to go there for the second time. After you have deafeted it it will fly away giving you nothing in return, but once you reach the third CD it will be flying over a new lake by Junon. You fight it, it flys away again, you follow it then fight it again, and it flys away again, you repeat this process until it stops close by to Csomo Canyon, then after you beat it it will blow up leaving a crator in the ground the allows you passage to the Frog Forest.

Emerald Weapon
Emerald Weaopn is the easiest of the two weapons, the only hard part about him is that he has an attack that will kill all of your party, that is why you should equip Final Attack and link it to Phoenix so that whenever you die it will use phoenix which will not only bring all of your party back to life with full energy bu it will also hurt Emerald. Before you fight Emerald you should get two Final Attacks and two Phoenix's because while you are fighting emerald the little yellow lights might hit the character with Phoenix and lower his MP so that when he tries to cast Phoenix it wont work, also you should equip W Summon and Knights of the Round and link it to MP turbo (so as to do 9999 damage each hit) to one character so that he will do it twice in one turn then you should equip mimic to another character so that he can mimic the two KOTR, after doing that a couple of times he will be dead.

Ruby Weapon
Ruby Weapon is the hardest of the two weapons because at the beginning of the fight you will not be able to hurt him until he removes to members of your party, then you have to fight him with only one character. What I advise to do is to give your best materia two one character and hope that Ruby will leave him/her, during the fight you should not use Knights of the Round because everytime you use it he will cast ultima on you.
