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.
For complete instructions on how to use this debug room consult GameFaq's
Final Fantasy 7 section.
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 a 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.FOR THIS TRICK
TO WORK THE LID ON THE PLAYSTATION MUST BE OPEN BEFORE YOU CAST THE SECOND
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.

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.
