Sephiroth's FFVII Gamer's Help

BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE!

Brian Mylott wrote in and asked: Someone told me that if you morph the Emerald WEAPON it turns into an eye. You then take the eye and put it in the shrine by where Aeris died. That will open up a cave and then you go down talk to her spirit and she will materialize to rejoin your group.

All I have to say about this is that it starts out with "Someone told me", now you can be the judge if this is true or not. I personally DO NOT believe ANY resurrection rumors that I have not seen or tested myself and really, who wants to take the trouble to go back, beat the Emerald WEAPON and then, morph him? Not me...

Huy Duong wrote in and asked: How do you revive Aeris or have Sephiroth join your game? Please answer me. (without the game shark)

Two words: YOU CAN'T. People please, I understand you wanting them back in your party, but you can't bring Aeris back, or have Seph in your party; and I WILL NOT post ANY MORE messages on this subject. You have to understand that these kind of messages only clutter up my In-Box and there is only one answer to it. (so far)

Huy Duong wrote in and asked: I have passed the Glacier section and am ready to beat the game. Is there any way to get Alexander?

Yup, simply go back to Icicle Inn (the town) on the northern continent and just head back down the hill in the back of town. Board down the hill again then follow the instructions that I had posted above to the materia.

Robert Hilario wrote in and asked: On the third disk, instead of going into the Northern Cave, I decided to scour the planet for its various secrets (materia, Midgar key, etc.) I went to Kalm town and an old man in one of the houses mentioned three key (?) items: Guidebook, Desert Rose, and Earth Harp. I have a good idea on where to find them, but could you give me hints on where they are? Also, do I get if I give these items to the old man?

Great question. You get the Guidebook by going to the underwater reactor. There, inside one of the underwater, glass tunnels, you will eventually come across an enemy named "Ghost Ship". If you morph this guy, he will turn into the Guide Book. Give this item to the Old Man, and you will get the Underwater materia. (by the way, the old man is known as the Kalm Traveler) The Underwater materia eliminates the 20 minute time limit when you fight the Emerald WEAPON. Speaking of the Emerald WEAPON, that's how you get the Earth Harp. This is THE hardest enemy in the game, and it is well worth it. When you receive the Earth Harp for beating him, give it to the Kalm Traveler and he will give you the invaluable 3 piece master materia set; "Master Magic", "Master Summon", and "Master Command". And finally, to get the Desert Rose, you need to fight the Ruby WEAPON. He is found lurking around in the sand around the Gold Saucer after you defeat the Ultimate WEAPON. Beat him and get the Desert Rose. Give this to the Kalm Traveler and he will give you a golden chocobo. The only drawback is that this chocobo has the racing abilities of a dying chocobo. Really though, I got mine, fed him full of Sylkis Greens and his top speed was 88 km/h, which is VERY VERY BAD!

Nick wrote in and asked: Do you know where to get all the 1/35 soldiers? If so, what can you do with them?

There are only 2 of these in the game but there are countless rumors that you can get more. The best one I've heard is that if you get a time of less than 58 seconds in the snow board game in the Gold Saucer that you will get one as a prize. My current best time is 1:03 so I cannot verify this.

Jason wrote in and asked: How do you get a gold chocobo? I've already got a green one. Is there an easier way besides killing the Ruby WEAPON?

Nope, you have to breed them to get it. I am currently making a chocobo breeding guide, so for now you can either wait or go perform a search for someone else's guide. Oh, by the way, if you keep visiting the Chocobo Sage, then talk to the boy in the stables, you eventually find out how to breed a gold chocobo. (because they tell you)

Dreydan wrote in and asked: What are the Earth harp and Desert Rose for? (You get them from the Weapon monsters)

Well Dreydan, Robert Hilario asked almost the same question above, to save me trouble, please read the answer I gave above.

Strife wrote in and asked: How do you beat Don Corneo's mini boss in Wutai? Every time I go against it, he uses Aero3 or something like that, which kills my guys. Is there any way to defend against it. The name of the mini boss is PARAPPS or something close to that name.

This boss is usually fairly tough, because you don't have any materia, but he doesn't have to be. His name is Rapps and his special attack, the Aero3 does about 1500 damage to one character. One way to stop this is to have Barrett in your party and use his Mind Blow Limit break which sucks his MP, do this and he should be down enough not to be able to cast Aero3. If this doesn't work, just try to level up some to get levels. Anther tip is to go to the store in Wutai and buy some Swift Bolts, at 800 bucks a pop, a little pricey, but not for the damage they do.

Strife wrote in and asked: How do I get the infinite money card. I have a cheat that says you get the card from the first town at a clock, but I have searched every house in every town on the eastern continent and I have still not found it. Could you please tell me where it is.

Strife, this is nothing BUT a rumor. The original rumor states that you have to go to the first town, but it calls it Moncharia, but guess what, no such town! I even checked it out in Kalm, checked every clock and nothing, sorry, but it's just not there.

Paul wrote in and asked: Is there any easy way to cure all the status abnormalities (like frog, silence, dark, etc.) that One-Winged Safer Sephiroth can cause you during the final battle?

Well Paul, there in fact many ways, but I will only name a few. The best way is by far the Ribbon accesory, this defends against all abnormal status. It can be found near the Materia Keeper or in the special Battle Arena in the battle square. Another way is to use the Vaccine item, this prtects you against all transformations. Another way, is to just get the items that cure you of these dieases and when you get them in the batlle, simply cure them and get it over with. You can find out what cures what by just highlighting the item in the item menu. Those are just a few ways and they should work for you.

Vince wrote in and asked: When does Vincent Valentine come in? If he doesn't come in the story later, how do I get him?

Vincent Valentine comes in I think the second time you go to the Shinra mansion. To get him, first go to the locked safe in the mansion and enter the combination. Turn right to "36" Turn left to "10" Turn right to "59" Turn right to "97" Then a boss will pop out. Beat him, then go get the key in the safe, bring this downstairs and unlock the locked door, there is a coffin there. Talk to Vincent inside the coffin and talk to him about Sephiroth. He'll go back to sleep. Wake him up and he'll tell you his name, go back out and when you try to leave, he will join your party.
