Secrets
Finding Vincent
To get Vincent to join your party, go to the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim. In one of the rooms, there is a safe. The combination to the safe is Right 36, Left 10, Right 59, Right 97.
When you door opens, you will have to fight a monster called the Lost Number. After defeating him, you will find Odin materia on the floor and a key in the safe. The key opens
a door in the basement, which leads into a room full of coffins. Vincent is sleeping in the coffin that is in the middle of the room. When you open the coffin, Vincent will fly out.
Talk to him about Sephiroth, and when you are done talking, he'll lay back down in his coffin. Leave the room and start heading out of the mansion. Just before you reach the
stairs that lead you out of the basement, Vincent will stop you, and join your party.
Finding Yuffie
Walk around the forests in the Junon, Gold Saucer, and Cosmo Canyon Areas, and you will eventually get into a
battle with Yuffie. After the battle, walk up and talk to her. You will then have a conversation with her, which is shown below:
Yuffie says, "You spikey-headed jerk! One more time, let's go one more time!"
Key to Midgar
During disc two and three, you can dig up the key to midgar at Bone Village. Go to Bone Village and talk to site foreman and tell him you want to dig
for normal treasure. Place the diggers around the site, and set off the blast. The diggers will the all face the direction the treasure is in. If you guess the right
spot, you should end up with the key to Midgar. When you get the key, go to midgar, and open the door. The door will lead to the church where Aeris first joined your
party. Go in the church and you will see her ghost working in the garden.
