Jenova wrote in and asked: How do I get Knights of the Round summon materia I've been hearing so much about?

Well, Jenova, to get this wicked materia, you need to have a golden chocobo, (I will show how to get this in my up and coming chocobo breeding guide) and then head out to the north-eastern part of the map. There is an island there that is not shown on the map. Once on the island, it looks like a crater actually, there is a cave inside, the Knights of the Round materia is in that cave.

Brain wrote in and asked: Can I get Bahamut Zero without destroying the red sub in the mini game?

To get Bahamut ZERO summon, you need to have Bahamut and Neo Bahamut materias and then you talk to the Huge Blue materia in the machine in Cosmo Canyon, and to the best of my knowledge Brian, you get the Huge Blue materia from Shinra No. 26 when you open the lock just before crashing into meteor. Now, I'm not positive that this is true, but if in fact you get it from the downed sub, then you definitely have to sink it then go to where it sunk and talk to it. If anyone is sure of which of these two spots holds the Huge Blue Materia, please tell me and I will post it here.

Bob wrote in and asked: How do I get the final spell combination materia?

Bob, if you are referring to the Final Attack materia, here's how to get it. First you need to be fairly good at fighting, then go to the battle square. After you gain enough BP to get the Omnislash AND W Summon materia, get both of them and then you will be able to fight in a special, harder battle arena, finish this one and you will get the Final Attack materia.

Riz wrote in and asked: I didn't get the Contain materia before the city was destroyed, is there any other way to get master materia besides the Emerald WEAPON?

Actually Riz, this is very common. People think that once Mideel is destroyed, that the white chocobo is gone, while in fact, if you go into the destroyed Mideel, head up the hill to the left, jump across, and there is the woman again, with the white chocobo close by. Talk to the chocobo (make sure you have mimmett greens) and give him some greens. Tickle the chocobo on the neck and he will give you the materia. (I don't think that all characters are able to tickle him, so try it a few times with different characters)

Richard wrote in and asked: Where do you get the Alexander Summon?

This materia is very commonly overlooked because it is not just something you find, you actually have to do something to get it. First, go to the great glacier, from there, go to the hot springs and touch the water. After doing that, go to the witches cave and talk to the witch. She will fight you and if you win, you'll get the materia.

John Demoth wrote in and asked: My friend said he read a magazine that showed how to get the ultimate materia. The mag said it would take 6-8 hours to get. I thought Knights of Round was it but it only took about 45 minutes. I mean even if I took my sweet time it still wouldn't take that long. Do you know where the ultimate materia is?

Well, John. I do not know what materia you are talking about. There are only a few things that I think it could mean. 1) That he is talking about the Ultima materia? But that is just something you pick up. 2) That it is the Master Magic materia? To get this might take someone 6-8 hours. If this IS what your friend was talking about, then to get it you need to master all of the Magic materias then talk to the Huge Green materia in Cosmo canyon. If not, then you will have to be more specific. Hope I helped you!

Strife wrote in and asked: Is there an easier way to get through the temple maze than just following the old man towards the end of disc 1?

I assume that you are referring to the part with all the steps and vines in the Temple of the ancients. If so than, I don' think that there is an easier way, you just have to navigate your way through to the end of if. You can follow him but you could probably just figure your way out. BUT if you are referring to the part where he is walking in and out of the holes in the cliff, than all you have to do there is memorize which door that he goes into and comes of. If you can go into the door that he should come out of then he will be surprised and the door will open.

Lane Mahler wrote in and asked: At the very end when all the stars are coming at you, does anything happen there? Also, in the Japanese version of the game, is the ending different because you could resurrect Aeris so she couldn't pray for holy?

First of all, I let those stars go by for about 3 hours when I first finished it and nothing happened, and to the best of my knowledge, nothing ever does. But as for the question about the Japanese version and resurrecting Aeris, I don't know that much about the Japanese version of the game since I only own the American. Although, if it is true that you can resurrect Aeris in the Japanese version of the game (which I didn't thin you could) then there would definitely be a change in ending. I think though, that Aeris was left dead in the Japanese version... but if this is wrong, can someone verify it for me?

Vincent wrote in and asked: Can you resurrect Aeris in the American version?

No, there is absolutely NO WAY to resurrect Aeris in the American version. I have heard that they were originally planning to be able to resurrect her, but left it out due to deadlines. I have also heard that there is a Game Shark code that lets you play as Aeris throughout the rest of the game. If I find this code, I will post it here.

Strife wrote in and asked: Is there any specific use for the Sexy Cologne from early on the first CD, right before Don Corneo's mansion?

I have gone through the game a few times now and I have not found a use for it. And I really don't think there is one for it. If anyone has found one, please send it in.

Guillaume Laroche wrote in and asked: What's the password for the Huge Blue materia?

The password to open the lock to get the Huge Blue materia on Shinra No. 26 is: CIRCLE, SQUARE, X, X.

Tyler Thursby wrote in and said: I think in the game, right when Aeris died, no one even cared. I saw the part where they lay her in the lake but other then that they never really talk about her and no one is even the least bit sad. It seems unreal.

All I can say is that you obviously haven't finished the game because they do talk about her throughout the game, especially towards the end where they talk about her praying for holy. It gets very obvious that Cloud cares for her a lot and everyone does care that she is gone.

Locke wrote in and said: You couldn't resurrect Aerith! Aerith not Aeris like in the US version, couldn't be resurrected in the Japanese version.

I said above that I didn't think you could resurrect Aerith (Aeris) in the Japanese version and I guess that this just proves it... thanx. I also know for a FACT that she can't be resurrected in the American version.

Glacius35@aol.com wrote in and asked: How do you get Alexander from that blue dude?

I assume that "that blue dude" is in the Great Glacier? If so then that "blue dude" is actually a Witch, the Snow Witch in fact. Above I had posted how to get the Alexander summon, but I'll post it again. To get the materia, you have to go touch the water in the Hot Springs just north of the witch then go talk to her again. If you do it correctly then she will fight you, win and get the materia. The Alexander summon is probably the most overlooked summon in the game, so make sure you get it!

Brian wrote in and asked: Where is the Final Dungeon?

The Final Dungeon, also known as The Northern Cave or Northern Crater is located on the northern island on the map, the one that looks, oddly enough like a chocobo. It looks like a big crater with a black center. To enter it just go above the crater and land. Although the first time you go there, landing is automatic.

Zifnab wrote in and asked: My room mate and I have finished the game but have yet been able to get close to killing Emerald or Ruby Weapon. Is there anything special we should have besides the K Of The R and W-summon when fighting them?

The WEAPONS, I admit are hard, the Emerald much more so than the Ruby. To beat the Ruby, simply equip your best character with the Knights of the Round - Hp Absorb materia combination and also W summon and a Mime. Make sure your main character survives the whirlsands, then W-summon KOTR. When you summon it, afterwards, you will gain back about 9400 HP so just keep miming it and you should be all right. To beat Emerald, however is a different story. When I bet him, I had 3 master magics, a level 3 KOTR, 3 mimes and a 4x-Cut materia on. There is no REAL way to beat this guy, the way I bet him was to have the first person cast HASTE and REGEN, then the next person cast W summon - KOTR then I kept miming that with each character. I guess I lucked out because I got to cast it 11 times in a row, which completely wiped him out. One final note, If you do not have AT LEAST one Final Attack - Revive materia combination on one of your characters, then I don't think you can have much of a chance against either of these enemies. (unless you have spent countless hours level building like I did before I bet these guys) P.S. These weapons have around 1,000,000 Hp EACH!

Jon wrote in and asked: When do I get Cid?

You get Cid just after you Hi-Jack the Tiny Bronco in Rocket Town. He joins your party after you crash into the ocean with the damaged plane. For more help on this, please consult PSX Power's FFVII strategy guide.
