Ancient Forest
To get to the Ancient Forest before disc 3, simply ride up the hill with
a black, gold or green chocobo.
Beta Materia
When you first go to the Chocobo ranch you have to catch a chocobo
to avoid the Midgarsorm. Well, I figured out a way to get the powerful
Beta spell before the second disc. You need the Enemy skill materia,
a Fire materia, and any elemental materia equipped on one person.
Make sure the last two are on your armor!
If you keep this character healed until Midgarsorm casts Beta you
should be able to survive the spell. Then just finish him off. This
is tricky to pull off but if done correctly you will be set for a LONG time.
Cast Any Spell Three Times
To cast three magic spells in one round, first equip someone with
a Magic Materia + "All" Support Materia. You'll also need Barrier
Materia with the Reflect spell learned. When you enter battle, cast
Reflect on the entire party, (your party). Then cast the magic spell
that was connected to the "All" Materia on YOUR party. Even though
you casted the spell once, it will be reflected and returned to the
enemy hitting for three times! And for the same price of the usual
MP's. What's even better is that if you have W-Magic, you can cast
that spell twice, or two different spells (both need to be connected
to "All" Materia) hitting for six times!!!
Chocobo Tricks
While racing the chocobos, hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 to increase your
speed. To increase their stamina, hold R1 + R2.
While choosing a chocobo to race, press L1, L2, R1, R2 or any direction
to pan, zoom and rotate the chocobo you're viewing.
Curse Ring
While in Mideel (before it has been destroyed), go to the weapons shop
and check the door in the back (the one that does not open.) Next, go
to the shop on the hill with the man on the balcony. Walk behind him
along the part of the balcony on the side of the shop until you here
a rattling sound. Check the spot and you will get a key. Use the key
on the door, and it will break off. The owner will ask what happened.
Tell the truth and he will give you the curse ring. If you lie, he will
not give it to you. It raises all of your stats, but puts the character
on death sentance, but this can be countered with a Phoenix Down.
Debug Mode
NOTE: This code requires a GameShark.
This code is by far the coolest thing you will ever see. First enter
the code "8009A05C 0041" into your GameShark. Start-up FF7
with the first disk. Choose "New Game". Instead of the normal
opening CG movie you will appear in a room filled with Japanese
symbols. IMPORTANT! Turn off your Gameshark after you are
in the room.
Walking onto these symbols will transport you to other rooms
where you can go to any point in the game, watch the CG movies,
and gain a complete set of Materia among other things. You can
also talk to the man in the bottom left corner to adjust other settings.
Defeating Savior Sephiroth
For this fight you will need: Knights of the Round, Zero Bahumut, and
any other summons. Cure 3, Wall, "Mime", DeBarrier, Remedies and
at least three Megaexlir's.
Start out by casting Wall on your party, then cast DeBarrier to take
away Sephiroth's wall. After this has been done throw everything
you've got at him, use Mime to cause major damage. During the fight
Sephiroth will levitate higher, signaling he's preparing to cast Super Nova.
If you are above 1500 energy you should be alright,watch out for
his Heartless Angel that will not kill you, but bring your health down
to 1. Then use Megaexlirs. Keep up the endurance and Sephiroth
shouldn't be to hard to beat.
Easy AP
Go to the forest outside of Meedeel. Walk around until you fight
Head Hunters or Caterpillers. Equip Cloud with an Apocalipse sword
and everyone with a Rune Armlet. If you fight a group of 4 Head Hunters
you get 340 AP. Caterpillers and a group of 3 Head Hunters give you 240 AP.
Equip as many 'ALL' and 'MAGIC PLUS'materia as possible in the
sword and Rune Armlet. When mastered they are worth
1.4 million gil each.
Easy Accessories
Here's a way to get two very helpful accessories.
Ribbon: To get a ribbon you must go into the crater and walk around
until you fight a Master Tonberry (a mole creature with a rotating
yellow star above its head.) Attack him a few times and then morph
him. He will turn into a Ribbon.
Tetra-Elemental: There is a small desert island in the south under
the Western Continent. Land there with the Highwind or with a gold
chocobo. Walk on the sand until you fight a small cactus man. Morph
him a eh becomes a Tetra-Elemental. Note: I have had the best luck
morphing with Yuffie simply because see deals 9999 HP damage each
time. It may be a different case for you but Yuffie is usually the best morpher.
Easy Life
With this code, you can easily restore life while in battle without
having to worry about anything happening. Enter a battle, and
when your characters' health gets low, cast regenerate on
him/her/them. Once the spell has been cast, open the Playstation
lid and have someone cast a spell.
With the lid open, the game won't be able to cast the spell, so the
game will stop until you close the Playstation lid. Once the lid is
closed, the game will function corectly and you can resume play. The
trick to this code is that while the game is looking for the CD, the
regenerate spell will still be working, so your life will fill up while nothing
else happens! This code works great for some of the ultra tough bosses
(Emerald and Diamond Weapon) because nothing else will happen while
the lid is up.
Easy Money
If you want virtually unlimited money, here is a wonderful trick.
As soon as you have mastered an "All" mateira, remove it and
replace it with the new born one and sell the old one.This may seem
like kind of a harsh comprimise, but each mastered "All" is 1.4 million
gils! and scince they are so easy to master you will keep geting more
and will never miss them. Sell one or two and you will never run out
of money ever again!
Easy Money, AP and Experience
Go to the desert outside of the golden saucer and walk around for a
while. Sooner or later a little cactus man will appear. You can't beat
him with magic or weapons, but he can be defeated by summoning
Chocobos or Mogs. If you manage to kill him he's worth 10,000 gil!
For better results, head for the Mideel Area (an island in the south)
and look for Sea Worms. Each one you defeat is worth 1300 EXP,
200 AP and 5000 gil!
Effortless GP Gain
To do this trick, you need a joystick controller with rapid-fire
settings and access to the Gold Saucer.
Go to Wonder Square, and up to the arm-wrestling game. Wrap a
rubberband around your joystick so that it's pulled to the upper left
diagonal, so that Cloud continuously walks into the arm-wrestling
machine but not into the GP-trading girl. Now, turn on the rapid-fire
for the 'O' button. Cloud will now repeatedly challenge and beat the
wrestling game. Slowly but surely, your GP will increase. It takes a
while, so it's probably best to set this up just before you go to bed
at night, and leave it on while you sleep. By morning, you should have
plenty of GP to buy your Gold Pass and the two secret
Materia: XP-Plus and Gil-Plus. Cheater!
Fast Materia Level-Ups
This cheat can only be done in the third disc. First, go to the Northern
cave and look for mole like creatures with a star above thier heads,
also holding a knife and a lantern. Steal an elixir from them and then
run away. After that, look for these small creatures in a floating pot.
They will say "Gimme' an elixer". Give them one. Then kill it. Each one
killed will give you 1,000 AP. You can not kill them unless you give
them an elixer.
Gain Limit Breaks Easily
When in normal status use a "Hyper." This will let your limit meter go up
faster, so you can use your old techniques more. The reason for this is
that one way to get your limit breaks gained is to use your old techniques.
WARNING: When you use the "Hyper," your status changes to "Fury,"
which will lessen your hit rate.
Another way to gain your limit breaks is to defeat large groups of
enemies. Try this: When leaving the Nibel Mountains and heading for
Rocket Town, you should see a group of forests when you leave the
mountains. Try engaging combat there, because sometimes you fight
large groups of enemies there. Such as a group of six "Battery Caps,"
or sometimes five "Battery Caps" and one "Valron." This might help in
getting your limit techniques also.
Huge Materia
To obtain the Huge Materia in Rocket Town, press Circle, Square, X,
X as the passcode.
There are four huge Materia that can reproduce other materias if
you can pass the requirements.
Blue - You must have Bahamut and Bahamut Neo. Take these to
Cosmo Canyon and talk to the Blue Huge Materia and you will
recieve Bahamut Eishiki (Zero).
Yellow - Master the Steal, Throw, Mime, Manipulate, Morph,
Deathblow and Sense Materias, then talk to the yellow huge
Materia to recieve the Master Command materia.
Red - Must have all 16 summoning materia at master level
then talk to the red huge materia to recieve the Master
Summoning materia.
Green - Have all 21 magic materia at master level then talk
to the green huge huge materia and you will recieve the
Master Magic materia.
Item Duplication
If you have the W-Item Materia, equip it and enter battle. Use the
W-Item command and select your first item you want to use with
the Circle button. Then choose your second item but do not use it.
Select it so that cursors appear on the screen (either on you allies
or your enemies) then cancel with the X button. Select again and
make the cursor appear then cancel. Repeat the selecting and
canceling of the second item over and over. Each time you do
this the quantity of the first item will increase by 1.
Knights of the Round Table
Ride the Golden Chocobo to the North-Eastern part of the map.
There you'll find a hidden island with a cave. Enter the cave and
talk to the red light to receive the "Nights of the Round Table" spell.
Limit Break Manuals
To learn Level 4 limit breaks you'll need to find the manuals.
Here's how to find them.
Cloud: Trade 32,000 battle points at the Golden Saucer.
Tifa: Go to Nibel area (Tifa's house) and play these piano notes: X,
Square, Triangle, L1/R1 + Triangle, L1/R1 + Square, X, Square,
Triangle, L1/R1 + X, O, X, Square, X. Then press START and
search the music sheet to find Tifa's Limit break.
Barret: A lady will give it to you in North Coral.
Aeris: Southeast of Midgar there is a small cave with a man living
there. Talk to him when you have battled a certain number of
battles that end in the same number, such as 122, 133, 144.
He will then give you a Mithril orb. Take the Mithril to the Blacksmith's
house on the south peninsula near Cosmo Canyon. He will trade you
for the limit break manual for the Mithril, or you can choose to
have a gold bracelet.
Red XIII: In the Nibel area there is a mansion and on the second
floor of this mansion there is a safe. To crack this code turn
right 36, left 10, right 59, and right 97. Then the safe will open
to reveal a miniboss.Kill the miniboss and you will recieve Red
VIII's Manual.
Vincent: Land near the waterfall and use the green, black, gold
chocobo or the submarine to pass the mountain. Then enter the
waterfall. (You must have Vincent in your group and must be
done first in disc 2) go forward and it will show Vincent's past.
Then leave. Return if you are already in disc three and you'll get
not only the manual but a weapon of Vincent.
Cid: Cid's manual is in one of the chests in the sunken plane.
Yuffie: Go to Wutai and enter the tower with yuffie and let yuffie
beat all the bosses including her father and you'll get a manual
and Leviathan materia.
Limited Immortality
Connect the Phoenix Summon and Final Attack materia in any linked
slot. When your party dies, there Hitpoints will be completely
restored. This makes killing Ruby, Emerald, and Sephiroth simple,
just make sure you have enough Mindpoints to use the Phoenix Summon.
For more punch, add a Final Attack/Knight of the Round Table to
the same weapon. Then when you die you'll resurrect and hit back HARD.
NOTE: This method is limited because you can only use Phoenix materia 5 times.
Morph Enemies Easily
For an easy way to morph enemies, have W-Magic Materia, Gravity
Materia + "All" Materia, and Morph Materia. Have someone else cast
Reflect on the party, then have the person with W-Magic use Demi 3
on your party twice. It will reflect and hit the enemy six times without
killing it, but will greatly reduce it's HP's. At this point, you can easily morph it.
Prevent Back Attacks
If your battle starts with a "Back Attack" hold L1 and R1 for a
moment then release them. This will turn you around before
your opponents get a shot.
Racing Trophy
When racing S-class in the Gold Saucer, You will notice many keen
items you can't ever seem to get. Well you can get them all at once!
Just win 15-20 races in a row! Ester will say "I've never seen anyone
win so much in S-class before!" She will then give you one of each item,
including the coveted Cat's Bell! this trick only works once, though.
Re-enter Midgar
It is possible to get back into Midgar after you have left (not including
by parachute.) On disc 3, go back to Midgar and talk to the man
standing outside the fence. He says he has misplaced his key and
that it is probably back at the dig site he just left.
To find the key, go to Bone Village and tell the foreman you want to
look for Normal Treasure. Place some of the workers up top in front
of the tent and set off the blast. They will point to a spot on the
ground, so have them dig there overnight.
In the morning open the treasure chest and you should have the Key
to the Sector 5 Slums. Now go back to Midgar and go through the
gate. Go back to Wall Market and go to the shop where the item
machine was broken before (the one that shot at you), and try to
use it now. You will recieve Tifa's ultimate weapon.
Recover Missing Items
Did you miss something important? Fear not. Once you get to disc 3
you can recover anything by excavating for it in the Bone Village.
Recruit Vincent
In the Shinra mansion at Nibbhiem, there is a safe on the top floor.
The combination is: Right to 36, Left to 10, Right to 59 then Right to
97. Make sure you don't go to far left or to far right when turning.
When it opens kill the monster, then get the stuff in the safe.
Descent the spiral staircase and into the coffin room. Vincent is in
one of the coffins. Talk to him and leave then come back and talk
to him and he will join you.
Recruit Yufie
Near the exploded Mako site there is a small forest. Wonder around
in it until you fight a ninja woman. After you defeat her there will be
a save point. DO NOT USE THIS or she will run away. Talk to her and
tell her you don't want to fight her again. Then tell her your terrified
of her. When she asks if you need her help, say "Yes" then tell her
that you're leaving and don't ask for her name.
Alternatively, try this. Equip the Enemy Away Materia which can be
won in the Gold Saucer Chocobo Racing and a Luck Plus Materia. Go
into any forests and wait for a while. Note that the Enemy Away
Materia must be at Master Level for a higher percentage of
chances to encounter Yuffie.
Reset
Hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + Select + Start to reset the game.
Special Battle
To get to the URA battle (special battle) in the Battle Arena, first
gain 64000 battle points and buy the W-Summon materia. Next get
32,000 battle points and buy Cloud's level 4 limit, Omnislash. Equip
Omnislash and talk to the lady at the counter in the battle arena,
and she will ask you if you want to participate in a special battle.
Beat all 8 enemies and get the Final attack materia.
Note: You must have your Ultimate Weapon equiped to fight in
the special battle.
Special Cinema
After Cloud rejoins your party in the second disk, visit the Shinra
Mansions Basement again in Nimbelheim entering the library. Cloud
will suddenly flash back to a special cinematic scene of how you will
find out how cloud ended up with his friend Zack's sword.
Time Attack Contest
At the golden saucers wonder square there is a snowboard game.
If you get a good rating on the beginner, expert and crazy course
the next time you play there you will see a yellow balloon. Grab it
and you will enter time attack mode. In this mode there are no
balloons or obstacles and you go extremely fast.
Unlimited Sources
To get unlimited Sources (luck source, magic source, etc.) perform
the following actions. Get in the submarine and go to the downed
plane. Wander around until you get into a battle and use the morph
command on the enemies. The best way to do this is attack the
enemies until they are almost dead and then use morph. In this area
there are six different enemies and each one morphs into one of
the six sources.
