How To Beat The Weapons Only Using Yuffie
Description: This is one for those Yuffie fans out there. Wanna beat the weapons only using Yuffie? Here's How!

Easy Gil
Too get easy gil when u first come out of the gold saucer with the fat suit guy bouncing around look up where the save point it is and in the corner there should be a guy if there isn't keeping go back in forth in the saucer n out the saucer n eventually he will be there. Submitted by Ryan: oohay69oo@xxxxx

Ultimate Weapon: You need to have 8000 HP Maximum or higher for this fight. Also have HP Plus at Level 4 or higher. Use Knights Of The Round (or Doom Of The Living if Yuffie's strength is at 255), and this will deal big damage and you may send him to Cosmo Canyon with just 1 battle alone! If you do, just do the same thing and he'll use Shadow Flare as Final Attack, be sure that you have at least 8000 HP in order to survive the attack!
Diamond Weapon: Use Comet 2 a couple of times or 1 Knights Of The Round to kill this boss easily.
Ruby Weapon: You need 9999 HP Maximum for this fight. I suggest that you link HP Absorb with Knights Of The Round, MP Absorb with Master Summon, W-Summon and a Master Level HP Plus.. 255 on her Magic, Magic Defense, and Defense stats is a must. A Ribbon is a must-have for this fight, since he tends to cause status effects often. Alternately, if you have a vaccine, use it before he gets off his first move. Use a dazers at the start, then W-Summon Knights Of The Round, and repeat.
Emerald Weapon: 9999 HP Maximum is required. Have a 255 Strength, Defense Magic and Magic Defense stats is a must. Link a Magic Counter with Knights Of The Round, A Counter with Mime, and at least 4 Counter Attack Materia at Master Level. Also have Doom Of The Living ready to be unleashed before the fight. At the start, activate your Doom Of The Living to deal some serious damage. Then, just use Elixers and let the Knights Of The Round magic counters wipe him out. Submitted by Michael Maguire 5-31-05

Underwater Materia
When on the first disc, before you fight the first weapon, use the morph materia on the last submarine in the dock where you get your submarine, its just after the huge city with all the marching soldiers. Anyway, the last one has a box or crate or something near it with a morph materia in it, equip it and use it on the submarine in the very back of the docks and it will turn into an Underwater Materia, which will allow you, once equipped, to stay underwater indefinitely. Submitted by Hibidybloobla 7-29-05

Beat Emerald Weapon using 0 Elixers
Link 1 Mastered Magic Counter Materia with a Mastered Knights Of The Round, then link 6 Mastered Counter Materia, each with a Mastered Mime Materia, then use a Mastered HP Plus Materia and a Underwater Materia. Use Yuffie only. Max out Strength, Magic and Luck. Use Doom of The Living at the start, then allow Emerald Weapon to attack you, and then watch the summoning kill him. Note that you must have the Conformer and the Wizard Bracelet equipped for this to work. Submitted by Michael:garmanbooboomike

All 7 Fever
Enter a battle while any characters health is 7777 and they will go in to "All 7 Fever." You won't be able to control the character but they will attack for 7777 every round until the battle is over. After the battle the character's HP will drop to one

Submitted by cloudstrife lover num1

Unlimited items 
This trick requires the W-Item materia. The materia is obtained after your party parachutes back into Midgar in Disc 3. After entering the subway tunnels in Sector 8, your party may walk away from the screen and encounter the Turks, or walk towards the screen to reach another subway section. Select the second choice and follow the subway tunnel until it ends at a dead end with the W-Item materia.

Equip the materia on the character with the item to be duplicated. When a battle begins, select the W-Item entry on the battle menu, select an unimportant item and use it on any character. On the second item choice, select the item to be duplicated by pressing Circle, then press X to cancel your selection and increase the number of that item in inventory. Repeatedly press Circle followed by X to accumulate 99 of the duplicated item. Note: This will only duplicate item selectable in battle and can not be used to duplicate the various sources, materia, weapons, or armor.

Pass the Midgar Zolom Without a Chocobo
When Zolom is in one of the corners immediately make a run for it and then when he is almost touching you enter the menu screen and save the game. Soft reset the game by hold L1+L2+R1+R2+START+SELECT. Reload the game and Zolom will be in the farthest corner from you giving you enough time to finish running across the marsh with out being attacked.

Raise a Black Chocobo
First, you need a Chocobo Lure. Once you get it, rent out six stalls at the Chocobo Farm.

The next step is to acquire the Walking Male and Running Female Chocobos. The Walking Male can be found at the outskirts of Gold Saucer, while the Running Female is west of Mideel. Once you catch both, bring them back to Choco Billy. He will evaluate them: Make sure you get a Good walking and a Great Running.

Now go to the squarest island south of Bone Village and Steal 3 Carob Nuts from the Vladorakos you encounter there. Save the game, then mate them using the Carob Nut. Use reset to ensure that they give birth to a Green and Blue Chocobo of different genders. After that feed each Chocobo 10 Sylkis Greens. Buy them from the Chocobo Sage in the mountains of the arctic continent. Go to Gold Saucer to get them some exercise!

You need to advance your Chocobos to A-Class in the races in order for them to produce a Black Chocobo. Once you do this (Holding R1+R2 will allow you to win the races rather easily), you can head back to the farm and feed them Carob Nuts to get it on and produce the precious Black Chocobo, capable of crossing mountains or rivers.

Gold Chocobo
The Easy, Expensive Way: The Gold Chocobo is essential to exploring the FFVII world in its entirety as it allows you to cross all terrains. To acquire it you will need to breed a "Wonderful" Chocobo (according to Choco Billy) with a Black Chocobo. Feed both Chocobos 10 Sylkis Greens, then take them to Gold Saucer and race them into the A-Class.

Now you need to acquire a Zeio Nut to breed the Black and Wonderful class Chocobos. You can get this by stealing from a Goblin in the northeast part of the map.
The Hard Way: Beat the Ruby Weapon "American boss" in the desert near Gold Saucer. It will give you the Desert Rose. Trade this with the Kalm Traverller to get the Gold Chocobo.
Now you have the precious Gold Chocobo: essential to the complete exploration of the map required to get Knights of the Round, and more secrets

Refill HP
Cast Regen-All on your party, then quickly open the PlayStation lid when all opponents have been defeated. The game will be unable to load the victory screen, and may glitch while the HP for each party member fills. After everyone is at full health, close the lid to resume the game.

Unlimited Ammo at the Gold Saucer
At the roller coaster where you shoot things at the gold saucer. Just use your turbo set and you wont run out of ammo.

W-Item
If you don't find the w-item in midgar in disc 3, you can go to the excavation village in the northern continent, dig under good treasure and you might find it there.

Funny Death
Do you know that monster in the Northern Cave that uses Pandora's Box? You can kill it...with an Elixir!! It was funny because there were the chimes, the "Death" appeared!

Earth Harp
To get earth harp beat the underwater weapon and he will give it to you! All of the items above can be given to the man on the second floor of the house in calm all the way on the bottom right hand corner! 

Buggy Drive
When you get the buggy drive around in the quicksand and you'll eventually find an enemy called a "harpy" (which isn't mentioned in the strategy guide either) which looks like a beast with a goat and a snake stuck onto him with a combination of other enemy's and you can also learn enemy skill: equaling off him instead learning it half way thru game from Jenova and the best thing is that it still gets rid of round 1000 health jus like when u learn it from Jenova! and round that point a game that's BLOODY STRONG!!

Sprint Shoes
a different way to get sprint shoes besides at the Chocobo races is to get omni slash (clouds level 4 limit break) at the battle square then exit while you have omni slash and talk to the lady at the end of the steps then talk to her .she will give you sprint shoes. (I don't know if you have to have it equip)

Secret Character
You may have heard this 1000 times, but i have an uncle working for Squaresoft USA And i have information on how to get a secret character. Zack. Remember the man Cloud mixed his identity with? Zack. Who's Cloud's best friend? Zack. Who saved Cloud from Nibelheim and brought him to Midgar? Zack. Well, here's how to get him. 1st, in Midgar, you must answer EVERY question CORREXTLY! It must be done in a certain way. Now, before starting the Kalm flashback, if you answered correctly, you will hear Aeris say Cloud reminds her of a man she once dated. After the flashback, Cloud, Tifa, and Aeris stay in the Inn, and Tifa mentions something about a man she found half-dead outside of Midgar. Now continue the game as usual. At the Temple of the Ancients, you'll find Zack killed by Sephiroth, and he'll enter the life stream. Now get up to the 3rd CD. Go to the Gongaga reactor, and bring a Super Sweeper and a Mutsurame Blade ( both Gold Saucer Shooting Coaster prizes ) and use the Sweeper on the reactor. It will explode, and then use the Blade. You collapse and find yourself hearing Aeris's voice, then you wake up, and find yourself next to Zack. You talk for a while, and he leaves. You meet up with him again the North Crater. Then he is able to join your party, and starts at level77. Can't say much more about it, except, he's a great character to have!!!

Protect Ring
This accessory puts a barrier and m-barrier on whoever is wearing it. there is two ways to get it. First when you climb up Gae's Cliffs at the top you have to fight a two headed dragon you can steal this item from it. also in the northern cave you fight little orange balls that give you 800 AP apiece morph them to get protect rings.

Materia:
I have found the most useful and coolest loophole in the materia system of FF7. Did you ever notice how when you attach a support materia connected to the "Master Command" materia it affects your regular attack too? I've noticed that if you also equip another materia to change your normal attack, it is also affected by the support materia. Now, using this knowledge I've discovered the two very best materia combinations that can be equipped in the game. Equip the Master Command materia linked to HP absorb (or MP absorb) and then equip the Double cut materia! (preferably advanced to 4X-cut) With this combination every time your character hits an enemy for the first time during an attack round (4X-cut attacks multiple enemies) he/she will absorb their hit points. With the MP-absorb magic is absorbed EVERY hit on any enemy. 

12 Soldiers:
I have heard a rumor about how to get another hidden character. And this is how Was told how to get him. First collect all of the 12 small soldiers. The coaster at the golden saucer is a good way to get them. Once you get all of them take them to the guy where you get Aerith's level 5 limit breaker and he will forge them in to a robot soldier or something like that. Also I can't seem to get the small soldier in Junon on the top bunk in the soldier's room right after you march in the parade (actually more like mess up the parade)

Curse Ring
This item raises ALL stats big time, but the wearer is death sentenced during battle (get around this with death force enemy skill) to get this you go to middle before it is destroyed. on the left if you walk around you will hear a creaking sound press O and it says there is a key stuck in the boards. Look in the shops. In one of them there is a door on the back wall go up to it and press O, it will say that it is locked, go back to the key and you can yank it out take the key to the door, the key will break off in the lock and the store owner will ask you what you were doing, tell him the truth and he will give you the ring.

Ribbons
Have you always hated having only one ribbon. Go to the northern cave and find a monster called master ton berry. morph him to get ribbons. he's the hardest creature to morph because he can't be sensed and he absorbs gravity attacks.

Another way to get ribbons
Another way to get ribbons easier than you would think. You know that big plant-like creature that you fight in the Gold Saucer's battle arena? The one with the pollen and the whip sting. If you morph HIM he turn into a ribbon too. Isn't that so cool? Well, enjoy!

Harpy
when you get the buggy drive around in the quicksand and you'll eventually find an enemy called a "harpy" (which isn't mentioned in the strategy guide either) which looks like a beast with a goat and a snake stuck onto him with a combination of other enemy's and you can also learn enemy skill :equaling off him instead learning it half way thru game from Jenova and the best thing is that it still gets rid of round 1000 health just like when you learn it from Jenova! and round that point a game that's BLOODY STRONG!!

Stealing from bosses
Unless you meet the Turks in the Northern Crater, you can only do this twice. The two last times you meet the Turks, (in the sunken airplane where you find Hades and in the subway when you're going after Hojo and the Sister Ray) you can steal a "Touph Ring" (vitality and spirit +50) from Rude.

Secret Movie
Here's a great secret. After Cloud recovers from the Mako poisoning return to Nibelheim and revisit the Shinra Mansion (where U got the Odin summoning materia) and go to the basement. There U will have a flashback with explains how Cloud ended up in Midgar and how he got Zack's uniform and sword.

Duplicate Item Trick
You must have the W-Item materia to do this trick. First, go into battle then select the W-Item option. Choose the item you want to duplicate and choose any character to give it to. When you pick your second item, choose a different item than you chose before. without casting the second item push O to select a person, then X to cancel... do this as many times as you want the item you chose before duplicated. This only works on items which has the item bag symbol next to it.

More Duplicate Items
Have W-Item and put it in the character who has the item you want to duplicate. In the battle use the W-item to do the trick  first choose the item and give it to any character. Second, choose the item you would like to duplicate. After that press X and the item will increase by 1 keep doing it by pressing O and X until you have 99 of that item.

Revised Duplicate Items
1) Get the W-Item Materia (sometime after you beat the Diamond Weapon).
2) Equip it.
3) During a battle, select the W-Item Command.
4) Select the Item you want more of.
5) Select ANY character.
6) Select ANY Item.
7) Press X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O...and get 99 of them'.

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.

Easy Battle Square handicaps
During the "slot machine" handicap sequence, rapidly tap Square in the Battle Square section at Gold Saucer. The slots will slow down, allowing an easier selection of your handicap. Note: This trick will also work in a similar manner with Cait Sith's limit break.

Easy Chocobo races
While racing a Chocobo, hold R1 + R2 to slowly restore energy.

More Easy Money:
For easier gil go to the southern most island, (where midea is) and on the beach. Big worm things which are easy to kill are worth 50,000 gil

Cast magic three times at an opponent
Have all characters with Reflect status. Then, cast any attack spell on all three of your characters. The spell will bounce three times into the enemy, each with the attack power of a full spell.

Safe Code (Mantion in Nebilhiem)
First go to the safe on the top floor of the mansion, next walk up to it. It will say enter the code that unlocks it. The code is right 36, left 10, right 59, and right 97. remember not to go past the number when your ready to put it in.

Hints

How To Beat Ruby Weapon
Ok, before you even think about fighting Ruby there are a few things you need to do first.  1.)You need Knights Of The Round.   2.)Your best guy should have 9,999 hp.  3.)Get w-summon.  4.)Have at least 2 stars on Knights Of The Round.  5.)Have Mime.  6.) Have Hades.  7.)Have the accessory called white cape, this protects against frog/small, you will need this because after ruby puts the tentacles in the ground he will hit your guy with one of them, and you will become a frog and small, and when you are healing yourself from this status, he will probably kill you.  8.)Lastly, get into a battle with anything, and when the battle screen comes up, kill the 2 guys that you are not going to use.  Now you can go fight ruby.  After he puts the tentacles in the ground, cast hides on him. This will paralyze him.  Now cast w-summon knights of the round.  Then cast mime.  Then hides.  and keep doing this pattern until he hurts you, then cure yourself and go back to the pattern until he dies.  And that's how you beat the infamous ruby weapon!

Sephiroth Challenge
If you are level 95 or over Sephiroth becomes harder to beat.

Getting More Sources
If anyone that want to build up your guys but have already reached level 99, you can always go down to the crashed plane and morph the monsters there. There are six of them: Unknown, Unknown 2, Unknown 3, Serpent, Poodler, and Bad Rap. Each gives you one of the six type of
Source.

Secrets of the Weapons
On disk 3, you may go down but come back up. Fly toward the "Junon Harbar." You will then see the "Ultimate Weapon!" Fly right in to him you will start to fight! The best way to beat him is to you "Omnislash" or "Knights of the Round." Doing this will kill him fast because he will retreat after so much damage done to him. Then he will fly away try to follow him. Hitting him with the ship several times will make him stop.  Them fly into him to start to fight again. The last place he will stop is "Cosmo Canyan." Make sure that one of your people, that does the final blow, has on him or her "Enemy Skill" equipped to learn "Shadow Flare."  Then head to your sub. go to the sunken plane to save and to get some LUCK. Go it to the next room and there you will fight squid like craters. Morph them to "Luck and Speed Sources." You need just one of then to be your  as test and luckiest**(LUCK AT 255)**. That character must be equipped with "Life 2"(revive)all. Now save and go fight "Emeral Weapon!!" A real helper is to have the "Underwater" materia and to have at least one person with "All Lucky 7's"(that is when their HP is at 7777) and to have "99 Megalixers!" (His HP is about 600,000!!!) Always have haste and barriers up and use all you got. **DON'T USE ANY ELEMENTAL ATTACKS!!** After killing him you will receive an item.  Take it to the "Calm Traveler" and he will give you 3 pieces of "Mastered Materia"! Now equip them and save be as prepared as you fight "Emeral Weapon!!" Now go to "Gold Saucer", you will see a little red thing. Oh and kill two of your members before you fight so that "Ruby Weapon" will put it's hands in the ground. If you don't you can't hurt him!!  Now revive the others. Don't attack the claws behind you! Put Barriers up (always have them up!) and Haste. Then use "Knights of the Round" and then have one person use a "Megalixer". Keep doing this until he is dead. After he is killed take the item to the "Kalm Traveler." **DON'T USE ANY ELEMENTAL ATTACKS!!** **THESE ARE THE PERFECT TIME TO MASTER UP ANY METERIA!

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.

Finding Vincent
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.

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.

An alternate strategy is as follows. First, 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.

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.

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.

Level 4 limit breaks 

Cloud: Omnislash 
Get 32,000 battle points in Battle Square at the Gold Saucer, then trade them in at the machine. This is worth getting, as it does more damage than Knights Of The Round when used at a high level with the Ultima weapon.

Barret: Catastrophe
Once Meteor has been summoned, go to North Corel and speak to the woman whose husband died. She may be found in the first hut on the second level in the town.

Red XIII: Cosmo Memory 
Defeat the Lost Number monster found in the safe at the Shinra mansion.

Tifa: Final Heaven 
Go to Nibelheim with Tifa in the party. Then play the following notes on the piano in her room by pressing X, Square, Triangle, R1 + Triangle, R1 + Square, X, Square, Triangle, R1 + X, Circle, X, Square, Triangle.

Aeris: Great Gospel 
Find the sleeping man on the first continent that can tell you how many fights you have had. He is in a cave near Condor Fort, across a river. The buggy (hitch a ride from Costa Del Sol) is needed to reach that location. Once you find him, wander outside and keep getting in fights until the last two digits of your fight total are the same (e.g. 688,133). Return to the may to receive some mithril. Go to the weapons shop near Gongaga and talk to the man inside. He will offer you a small or large box. Select the small box, then look in the box that is upstairs.

Yuffie: All Creation 
Win all the battles in the pagoda in Wutei.

Cid: Highwind 
Found in the Gelinka (the sunken Shinra plane).

Vincent: Chaos 
Using the submarine or a Gold Chocobo, go to the circular lake on the second island on disc 3. Vincent only has one break per level.

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 traveling 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.

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.

Hint
I have figured out how to get the Don in the wall market to pick Cloud instead of Tifa or Aeris.

key items needed for this trick
lingerie
sexy cologne
satin dress
diamond tiara
blonde wig
members card
protein drink
pharmacy coupon
digestive
make up (doesn't show up in the list)

To get the satin dress, tell the man that you want something smooth and shiny.
To get the diamond tiara, talk to the guy in the Northwest part of the first section of the wall market, he will ask you to get him a drink from the vending machine at the inn, next sleep at the inn and cloud will go up to the machine, pick the highest priced item (protein drink), now give it to the guy.
To get the blonde wig, you have to do about 20 squats in the gym.

To get the sexy cologne, the make up, and the lingerie, talk to the guy pacing by the southwest corner of the first section of the wall market, he will give you the members card, go to the honeybee club and enter, pick the $#%&* room, before you
leave talk to the girl, you will receive the lingerie, now go to the northern most room and talk to the girl way on the right, she will put on the make up, now leave and eat at the restaurant and respond "it was good", you will now receive the pharmacy coupon, go to the item store and pick the digestive, go to the bar and talk to the girl in the bathroom, she will give you the sexy cologne. Now go to the Dons office and he will pick Cloud

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.

Virtual 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.

Command Materia:
In the second CD, you can get the COMMAND MATERIA "W ITEM". When you're going to stop Hojo from using the sister ray, right after you get on the sub-way tracks, head down until you reach a dead end and the W ITEM materia. (Its a LONG walk.)

Contain Materia:
You can also get a "contain" materia in the town that gets destroyed by the life stream (I forgot the name, but its at the bottom of the world map.) Go to the left until the music changes into chocobo music. There will be a little white chocobo. Talk to him and you'll be asked to give him some greens. (You don't have to buy any) After that, scratch him behind the ear and he will give you the materia.

Alexander Materia:
To get the Alexander Materia you must be at the Great Glacier. find the hot spring and then touch it , then find a woman name "SNOW" you will fight her if you beat her you will get the Materia. MORE : To get the "Full Cure" Materia it is in the back room in the general store in Cosmo Canyon Bot only the second time you go their. MORE : To get the "Typoon" Materia you must be in the Sleeping Forest first, you must pick up two insects and put them in the pitcher flowers so Cloud can reach the spring stamen this puts you deep in the forest's canopy. follow the limbs up and all the way to the right to find the "Typoon: Materia ALSO you must be in area 3 if you want more contact me at

Guide Book:
The guidebook you were looking for is in the transparent tunnels of the Underwater reactor. First, you try and get in a battle with a 'ghost ship', then morph the ghost ship until it changes into the Guidebook. You can exchange this map for an Underwater materia.

Alternate Guidebook
I was looking through your FF7 pages and I saw that you needed help on finding the Guidebook. You know where your on the path to get the submarine, (the underwater tunnel where you can see all the fish) you might run into a monster (boat with a skeleton on top) that has a fair amount of HP. Equip Morph on Cloud and sense on one of your other characters. Make sure none of these are on Cid if he is in your party because, every time I fought this monster Cid got thrown out of the battle (this is just like if you fought the Midgar-Slolom). He has 6,500 HP and not many very strong attacks. If you morph this monster he will turn into the guidebook. Please contact me if you have any questions. I also need to know where the red weapon is.

Underwater Materia:
If you did not find out yet there is an "underwater materia." Its real easy to get. All you need is the "morph materia." Go to the place where you get the sub. You will find your self in a underwater tunnel. In the tunnel you will fight a bad guy. He is a boat with a bone body on it. Morph him and you will get a "guide book" from him. Take it to an old man in Kalam (he is in a house on the 2nd floor standing still.) This has to be done on the 3rd disk. After you give the item to him he will give you the "underwater materia" and ask for 2 more things. A "desert rose" and a "earth harp". I think to get the 2 items you need to kill
the 2 weapons. The "underwater materia" helps you with the underwater weapon and you get something from the underwater weapon. If you take it to the old men he will give you master materia.

Underwater Materia:
The Underwater materia is real. I have it. The only use I have found for it so far is to take the clock away while fighting the emerald weapon. Go to the place where you fight the ghost ship. Morph it. You will get a guidebook. Give this guide book to a man in the town just outside Midgar. He's in the upstairs of one of the houses he'll give you the purple "underwater materia". I ran in to the man with a sick friend. I didn't help him though. I did run in to the ghost of Aerith in the church. But she just faded. I haven't been down to see the fish while I had the materia though. A little help from a fellow gamer Will

Summon Materia:
To find the SUMMON MATERIA "LEVIATAN", go to WUTAI with YUFFIE in you party. Enter the 5 story Pagoda (in in the North-West of the village). When you'll try to climb to the next floor, the man there will ask you if you wish to climb the tower. Answer yes, and you will fight him only with YUFFIE. After that, go up and talk to each of the persons to fight
them and climb the ladder. The fifth and final battle is against YUFFIEs father. After you've won that fight, YUFFIEs father father will give you the MATERIA.

Magic Pots:

Aerith Rumors:
OK, first off the rumor started at the FF7 Discussion Group on Jason Crafts page, the Chocobo Range. The forum was quite popular with the hardcore FF fans and I was a frequent poster (does the name "Akuma Matata" ring a bell?). Anyways, rumors began circulating that Aerith could be resurrected and many people claimed to have seen it but nobody came forth with a solid method (cause there never was one, but I'll get back to that...). Certain people DID experience glitches and/or found game shark codes to bring Aerith back, but nobody found any REAL way. Enter Lansing. Lansing came on the forum claiming to work for Square and stated that Aerith can indeed be revived but he wasn't allowed to say the exact method. Many people of course started the bashing and denouncing and called him a liar...but me and a select few of others decided that the best way to get the info was to...well...kiss his ass, and beg. It worked...Lansing began giving us clues as to how to get Aerith back. The list stated that you needed 4 things: The Sword of Sephiroth, a key, and a General
who would give you Bakusa and the final item you need if you do little missions for him... Needless to say, we spread the rumor and the whole discussion group went on a massive search for this General. Lansings lie was pretty safe...there is nobody that sends you on any kind of missions (I finally translated all the text. Even though I was slow in doing so). However, he stuck by it and started giving more clues. Once gamers exhausted every option you can possibly think of and still nobody had a SOLID clue about the general. Almost all the gamers publicly bashed Lansing as a liar...and I was about to do so too, until I realized that I needed to play his little game. I went on the discussion group and replied to the posts stating that Lansing was "telling the truth" and that everyone didn't deserve to hear it. I told them that we (there were about 3 of us) would continue the search and Lansing promised to deliver Aerith when he quit Square at the end of the month. O.K. sounds good... Up until the end of the month we are constantly in contact with Lansing asking him questions (and giving
him theories as to what we thought was the right method...)...then the end of the month came. I was intrigued to see how Lansing would respond considering Smear and Mooncalf and I had tried literally EVERYTHING pertaining to his first clues. Then he gave us another clue: You needed to cure the General's Friend in the pipe at the beginning of the game and the medicine was the "key" that we needed to do this (why didn't he say medicine before?). We searched everywhere
for this medicine but came up empty. Then Smear, I believe it was, told Lansing privately about his guess that the six signs had something to do with the Medicine. LANSING SAID YES! This is key because up until this time NOBODY had posted anything about this on the FF7 forum...but SOME people (namely me) had already solved that puzzle and knew that you just got a relic for your work. I didn't confront him with it. I waited...pretty soon more holes started showing up in Lansing's clues. He said we needed to go under the fish that Aerith was buried under and doing that we needed "fish food" to do it and the fish food could be obtained with an "underwater materia" (which was recently posted as a
rumor...how convenient it shows up in his story the next day). BS...nobody found it. Then he stated that the medicine we needed to cure the guy was actually Aerith and she needed to find out who she was to cure the sick friend of the General (note this completely forgets his earlier "job and Bakusa" method...) and you could do so before leaving the town. BS...I went back at the latest possible moment after talking to everyone. Then he said that you need the key of Midgar to get back into the town and cure him later. Only problem...you can't get it until the second or third CD. Upon realizing this he was looking for something to change his story. He reverted back to a stray rumor about multiple endings that was on the forum awhile ago...He told me about them (apparently attempting to see if I would buy it)...and I pretended like I did. The the next
day, came his post about the process being cut and he stated the real process involved Aerith curing the sick guy but that Square "took out" the key so that you couldn't do it cause the game wasn't finished...but that capper is that he said the real endings were STILL left on the CD (and popping your CD in the CDROM of your computer would verify three separate files) and it is here where we got him. Many people simply converted the movie files and watched Lansing's "proof" go down the toilet. Square never intended for Aerith to be resurrected and this whole story was made up by a rumor specialist to save face (funny...you can't see anyone on the internet). If you still don't believe me notice how his clues completely changed over
time... I have left out a lot MORE proof (but I don't want to spend all day typing this)...but consider this...his story changed completely over time but he insisted he knew about the method from the original script Square had (note: Scripts don't change information over time...) and that he indeed worked for Square as a translator for FF7. Too bad Sony is translated the game (why do you think THEY made the statement that FF7 will not be altered)...sorry I took so long to get to the solid proof, but I wanted to show you beyond reasonable doubt...that Square did not make an unfinished game and you WILL NOT GET A "REAL" VERSION! Sony is delaying the game till September (like they did last year) because they want to save the top titles for the Christmas Season. Now I don't want to hear any more rumors about this AGAIN! YOU HEAR ME!

Master Materias:
I finally defeated the green weapon swimming around underwater. He gave me a ton of experience and also this item called earth harp, which I thought had no use at all. Well, I was screwing around and I went to the town of Kalm ( the one to the northeast of Midgar) and I went into the southeastern most house. On the second floor, there is an old man who if you talk to him will ask you if you want to trade the earth harp for something. I said yes and he gave me ALL 3 MASTER MATERIAS!!! That's right, master summon, master magic, and master command. He then asks for a "desert rose" and a figured that the red weapon in the desert had it so I beat him and got the desert rose and took it back to the old man. He gave me an ocean crossing chocobo for it, which wasn't that great because I already have one. The old man then says he now only needs an item called "GUIDEBOOK" and he can start his journey to pray for dead people's souls. He gives me a clue that says " a map sunk along with the ship....GUIDEBOOK." I have gone through the bottom of the ocean and the sunken Shinra plane for hours and I can't find the "guidebook". Will someone please look into this and e-mail me back with suggestions.  Even if you can't find the guide book, this is a much easier way to get the 3 master materias because the green weapon isn't that tough if you know the right combos.

How to keep Aris
All you have to do is be mean to Tifa. You have to answer the question to where it threatens Tifa. Ex. when you get the flower from Aris give it to Marlene instead of Tifa. When Aris goes to the ancient forest to get killed (you have to have Tifa on your team). Tifa will push Aris out of the way and kill herself. I don't know how to game end I haven't made it that far yet.

Hint:
To get Vincent right after you beat the guy in the safe make sure you pick up the key and go to the basement and use the key on a door before the lab and you will talk to Vincent but talk to him twice and then leave and go to the lab talk to Sephiroth and then get the materia he throws and leave. Vincent will stop and ask to join just say yes. Cool huh! names Justin in Nevada

Hint:
To kill the ULTIMATE WEAPON easily equip quad magic with comet materia on level 2 on Cloud. Then put Kajata and Phoenix on the 2nd member of your party. Finally put the Bahaumat Zero metariea on the 3rd member of your party. (Its a
good idea to have enemy skill materia equipped on all the characters) Then fight weapon untill hes in the Cosmos area. All you have to do is fight him one more time using.
Phoenix
Kajata
Comet2 With Quad magic
Bahamut Zero
Note: You don't have to use them in that order but its a good idea to use Phoenix next to last. After you beat him he will use something called shadow flare right before he dies on a member of your party. (Shadow flare is a learnable enemy skill) And that's all there is to it.

Hint:
I just wanted to say that yuffie is in the forest near the phoenix fort and across the river from the cave where the guy that gives you things if the last 2 numbers of how many battles you fought are the same

Hints
In Order to Beat the Red Sand Weapon easily have at least 2 HP Plus and preferably 1 or 2 Magic Plus (Not MP Plus).  
Use Cid with the Scimitar (Triple Weapon). Put the Knights Of The Round Materia with HP Absorb materia in the Scimitar
Weapon.  In the armor, I recommend the Mystile Armor, use Command Counter with MIME and then fill the rest with other materia that needs to be leveled up.  Make sure you have the Ribbon as his accessory. Now for the weird part.  Go and kill the other two members of the team.  Now take the Highwind (Or The Gold Chocobo) and enter the sand to do battle.  When it starts, Weapon will immediately bury his claws.  Immediately cast Knights of the Round on the claws.  For the rest of the battle use MIME.  This will kill him within 15 minutes and you will finish with max HP and lots of MP left.  HP Absorb will Master and KOTR will be just shy of the third level. The higher the Magic Plus Materias the more damage will be done with KOTR.

To get Cait Sith's HP Shout(Ultimate Weapon): When you are in the Shinra Corporation building, on the 65th floor, there is a health spa.  Inside the health spa there are several rows of lockers.  Search the lockers and Cloud will say "Whats this... a megaphone?" and you will get the HP Shout!

To get Tifa's Final Heaven limit break do the following go to Nibelheim go to Tifa's House, on the piano play Do Re Mi Ti La Do Re Mi So Fa Do Re Do press start and she will say she has the sheet music in the sheet music she finds a note and the limit break

Three best areas to earn Experience - If you haven't gotten to the end game, either the downed Shinra plane (you need the
submarine) or the Ancient Forest (you need a Mountain Chocobo or a dead Ultima. Since it is much easier to breed a mountain Chocobo earlier on I vote for that one). The Ancient Forest is atop a Mesa next to Cosmo's Village. If you have made it to Sephiroth's Crater, then proceed to the Room with the  odd plants. Feed Elixirs to Magic Jars for 8000exp/ 1000Ap  each. If you run out of Elixirs, don't worry; either Mug Master Pug, kill a dragon, or Mug the little deer next to the
flautist for more Elixirs.

To get Clouds best limit break (the OmniSlash) go to the Battle Arena and earn 32,000 points, these can be exchanged
for Cloud's Limit Break

Weapons knowledge
Anyone whose played through the game will know about at least two of the Weapon monsters, but there are a couple you might not know about:

Ultimate Weapon
This is the guy you first face in Midlee, but after you have defeated Diamond Weapon he will appear in a hole near Midgar .(you cant miss it) Fly the Highwind into him to fight.(I find Bahamut Zero works well but if you have something like Knights of Round, even better) After the fight he will fly off. follow him and bash into him a few times (you will bounce off because of an energy feild) and he will eventually fight you. (He did this at Fort Condor, but you might be able to fight elsewhere) He will disappear after this but search the map for him.

Diamond Weapon
Nothing too detailed about him but there is something you should know. he rises from the water somewhere around the northern island and heads towards Midgar. you have to land the Highwind and wait for him on shore. Take this time to prepare. He's strong, so save the game beforehand.

Ruby Weapon
I haven't actually faced him yet, but I know you have to fight Ultimate Weapon three times (not including Middle) to face him. The observant player may have noticed a strange mountain like structure near Cosmo Canyon, that seems in accessible. I've been told the canyon sinks down after defeating Ultimate Weapon, allowing you to face him. (I don't know if a Mountain Chocobo could reach it)

Emerald Weapon
The strongest of the four, this fiend lurks under the sea near Junion. He could kill your whole party in a single shot unless your super strong. Fight him at your if you dare!

I don't know if defeating them all has any special effect on the game (it probably does) but it will provide a challenging task for the daring and adventurous player.
