Find: Ribbon, Javelin, 1 Elixir, Fire Armlet, 1 Megalixir, 1 Speed Source, Enhance Sword, Summon Neo Bahamut Materia, 1 Hi-Potion, 1 Ether, Kaiser Knuckle, MP Turbo Materia, & Poison Ring.

Now go up the mountain, remembering what the old man told you. You must climb up the wall and when you reach the ledges, hit the button repeatedly to raise your temperature to 38 degrees. When, and only when, your heat is at 38 degrees, continue your climb to the next ledge. You can climb up at the points where the red flags are; go to the red flag, push , and start climbing. Repeat this process all the way up the cliff and enter the cave.

Go north and enter the hole in the wall. Go left and down through the cave in the corner. Walk to the right and through the wall for a chest with a Ribbon. Return to where you went through the wall and head up and to the left. Before you go into the cave, get the chest on the right, it's a Javelin. Enter the cave, then enter the next cave ahead. Go up and left (you can't see yourself here), and hook around to come out the cave in the upper left. Push the boulder over the cliff.

Go back out of this room, and go back to the room with the Javelin. Go down and around left and to the next room. You are now in the second room of the cave, where you went left and down through the cave in the corner. This time, go up and into the cave to the north. You will not be able to see yourself again, but make a half-circle to the left and come out of the cave on the left. Follow the path right to another cave. The next room is just above where you got the Javelin and Ribbon. Before you go outside, learn the Enemy Skill Magic Breath from the large red Stilvas here (try to Manipulate them - it's easier). Follow the path right back to outside.

The same situation is in effect here, keep your body heat as high as possible. Climb up, and when you can choose, go up. After the next ledge, you get another choice. Pick right. Notice that on about the third or fourth ledge, Cloud starts doing that flashing white thing he does when Sephiroth's around... hmm... Climb to the top (it's a ways up) and enter the cave here. Go to the right side and grab the Elixir from the chest. Go up and to the left to the save point. Exit to the upper right. Go outside again and run north, around the mountain, then south. Out in this outside area you can meet the Malboro, who teaches you the Enemy Skill Bad Breath. If you are going to do this, make sure at least one party member has a Ribbon equipped.

Once back in the cave, get the chest with the Fire Armlet immediately to your right. Now run left. As you pass under each icicle, you have to fight it. Each icicle is accompanied by bats. After you defeat each icicle, it will crack and fall to the ground below. You will have an option to jump to the room below. Don't. Fight the next icicle. After defeating all four icicles, get the Megalixir from the chest on the right. For some reason the game calls it a Last Elixir , but it does add a Megalixir to your inventory.

Go over to the left again and search around the cliffside until you get the option to jump down. Jump down, and go to the upper left. Since you knocked down all of the icicles, You can get a Speed Source from the chest here. Go up through the center exit. You are outside again. Get the Enhance Sword from the chest, and head north. Circle around the large rock, then come south to the exit.

Once back in the cave, go south and outside yet again. Climb up, and go right when you have the choice. At the next ledge, take the left path and choose to go up when you can. Climb up several ledges and enter the third cave. Search the pool to the right of the save point for a HP/MP restore. You can either raise your levels here, or continue on. There is also an enemy here called the Blue Dragon, from whom you can win a Dragon Armlet. Exit the room to the right, and check out the clone. After you do, a boss attacks.

Use your strong non-elemental Summons, like Alexander, Bahamut, and Odin. Also use Comet and Quake. Avoid Poison and Summon Kjata. Use Ice on Schizo (Right) and Fire on Schizo (Left). When one head dies, it casts a powerful magic attack. Concentrate on one head or the other, then kill the remaining head. Keep your HP high, because when each head dies, it does a powerful attack on your party.

Exit the cave and climb up the cliff to the right. Watch the nifty FMV of the crater. Run to the top, and then watch the action. Continue down and talk to the clone. Go left and watch more action. Tifa will talk to Cloud here. Run to the left, and grab the Summon Neo Bahamut Materia from behind rock on the next screen. Jump to the save point, then jump up more and continue left. Watch the action sequence of the Shinra higher-ups. Continue left and talk to the clones. They leave behind a Hi-Potion and an Ether.

Here you need to cross when the wind is calm. If you don't, you fight an enemy called Wind Wing and get knocked back. BTW: You can this to your advantage and keep running into the Wind Wing to gain EXP, GP, and AP. Plus, you can learn the Enemy Skill White Wind from him. Continue north to the clones. Talk to them, and get the chest to the right for a Kaiser Knuckle. Wind around, following the path, but exit to the north. Cross here again, but now you have to time it with the green blasts.

Continue north and watch Sephiroth kill two clones. Watch the action as Sephiroth disappears, then makes you fight Jenova again.

Fight Jenova-DEATH with the strongest attacks you have. Use Big Guard and Regen/All early on. Make sure you are wearing fireproof armor (Either the Fire Ring, Dragon Armlet, or armor with the Fire-Elemental Materia pair). Cure when needed.

You recover the Black Materia, but give it to another party member. Go north and get the MP Turbo Materia, then save. Get the Poison Ring from the chest. Go off the top of the screen, and you encounter the third and final barrier. You have to time it when the wind is calm, the green flash is not there, and the lightning is not zapping. Keep going north, and watch the action.

Cloud and the party have another long flashback of Nibelheim. You see the real story of Nibelheim. Cloud finds out that he is a clone, but doesn't accept it. Then there's another action scene with the Shinra folks again. Weapon attacks. Cloud appears near the Shinra and more action happens. Cloud takes off, and then Hojo explains about the reunion and Sephiroth.

Sephiroth is dead, but his will is so strong he won't diffuse into the Lifestream. Rufus takes your party (minus Cloud of course) into the Highwind. You see the five Weapons emerge from the earth.
