10 Phoenix Downs and a Secret Cave
On the way to Coral, go to the switch that
you push to let the others go through. If you
explore around that area, you should hear
birds chirping. Go up the hill where you
hear it (you might have to search to find the
right spot) and pick the first choice you are
given.

After collecting the 10 Phoenix Downs, go
back down to the lower tracks and follow
your partners. As they turn to the right, you
need to take the left split because buried in
the hill under the tracks is a cave with an
out-of-work miner. A Power Source, Mind
Source, and Tent may be acquired within
this hidden area.

Note: Your score will be lowered if you do
this. It's not nice to disturb baby birds.

Beat the Cosmo Canyon Boss
When you get to the Boss inside the caves
at Cosmo Canyon to beat him all you do is
use a Phoenix Down on him to kill him
instantly. Sometimes that misses so you
might want to use other healing items like
X-Potion, High Potion or Potion.

Beat the Emerald Weapon
If your having difficulty beating Emerald
Weapon and you can't get the Knights of
the Round consider using this method.First
equip three gravity materia, one to each
character, second if possible equip a mime
materia to each character.

Next to one character, equip both the
W-Magic materia and quadra magic
materia joined to the characters gravity
materia. Join an all materia to the other
characters materia. Okay. Now when you
go into battle all you do is use any level of
demi on the Emerald weapon and it
automatically does 9999 HP of damage to
with every hit but at the end his HP will
lower and a couple of hits with a
moderately powerful summon spell and he's
done for. Voila!

Beat the Ruby Weapon
For this you will need Nights Of The Round
with at least 3 levels. Phoenix summon with
at least 3 levels. Shield with at least 2 levels.
Final Attack with any level. About 3
mastered HP and MP pluses (you might
need more). 3 Enemy Skills with White
Wind learned (to learn White Wind, go to
the grassy area of Junon untill you fight a big
green creature with wings. Manipulate it
and have it use White Wind on your party).

You also need MP and HP absorb and the
MIME command. Make sure you do NOT
have the w-item, w-magic, and w-summon
materias. Give everyone HP pluses untill it
reaches 9,999 HP. Then do the same with
the MP pluses until it reaches 999. Equip
Cloud with the Ultima Weapon and give
him the following materia.

Combine the Nights Of The Round with the
MP absorb. Give him Phoenix with Final
Attack. Give him mime with HP absorb.
Make sure that you only eqip these matiera
on the Ultima Weapon if their mastered.
Give him shield and enemy skill. Give your
other party members the other enemy skills.
Make sure Cloud has an accesory that will
protect him from Frog and Small.

Before you fight Ruby, get into a battle and
have Cloud kill your other party members.
Now go after Ruby. Start off by using
shield on Cloud. Do NOT have Cloud
bring the rest back to life.

Now have Cloud use Knights of the Round
and just keep miming it until the Ruby
Weapon kills you. When you come back to
life, repeat the process until you've won.

NOTE: No matter what, do not use any
limit breaks or regular attacks on Ruby. If
Cloud becomes a toad, use white wind to
heal him.

Cast Any Spell Three Times
To cast three magic spells in one round, first
equip someone with a Magic Materia +
"All" Support Materia. You'll also need
Barrier Materia with the Reflect spell
learned. When you enter battle, cast Reflect
on the entire party, (your party). Then cast
the magic spell that was connected to the
"All" Materia on YOUR party.

Even though you cast the spell once, it will
be reflected and returned to the enemy
hitting for three times! And for the same
price of the usual MP's. What's even better
is that if you have W-Magic, you can cast
that spell twice, or two different spells (both
need to be connected to "All" Materia)
hitting for six times!!!

Duplicate Items
For this to work you need the W-Item
Materia. This Materia is available at the
excavation site. Search the bottom layer at
a place that looks a little like someone
scuffed an "x" in the dirt. Equip the Materia,
and in battle use it. Select the Item that you
want to duplicate first, then select any other
item.

After you select the second item hit cancel,
and notice that the first item has increased
by one. Just keep selecting the item, and
canceling till you have all you need. The
only downfall to this is that you can only
duplicate items that you can use during
battle.
