Hints & Strategy
One thing always to remember is to save often. I know it may seem like a boar but you never know when you might mess up or come up against a enemy that can kill you.

When you see an item or materia pick it up first before you leave the screen or talk to anyone. there is a few items and materia if you don't get them right away you will lose them forever.

Turtle's Paradise Flyers Where are they? (listed in order of appearance):
- Midgar: 2nd Flr. of one of the houses in the screen before Aeris' house (Sector 5). It is stuck on the wall (the house with the sleeping kid).
- Shinra Bldg: On the bulletin board in the lobby. One of the papers stuck to it is the flyer.
- Gold Saucer: In the Ghost Hotel. Read the sign in front of the souvenir shop.
- Cosmo Canyon: Piece of paper stuck beside the Tigerlily Arms Shop.
- Cosmo Canyon: 2nd Flr. of inn near the Cosmo Candle. Read the papers on the wall.
- Wutai: Basement of Yuffie's house. Long sheet of paper stuck in the hall. You can read this after Yuffie steals your Materia.
You get a source item of every kind, and a Megalixir from the owner of the bar (in Wutai, where the Turks were drinking). Like the contest says, it's named Turtle's Paradise.

Where do I get Bahamut ZERO?
You must have the Bahamut and Neo Bahamut Materia, and you must have completed all 4 Huge Materia missions successfully. Go to Cosmo Canyon and head for the observatory. Examine the Blue Huge Materia. It will respond to the Bahamut and Neo Bahamut Materia, and you will receive the Bahamut ZERO Materia. Don't worry, you still get to keep your other 2 summon Materia.

Vincent: He's at the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim. You can get him in any disc as well. First, you must get the Key to the Basement key item from the safe in the 2nd floor (read Cosmo Memory Manual, Red XIII). When you beat the boss there, you will receive the Cosmo Memory Manual, the Odin Materia, and the Key to the Basement key item. Now, go to the mansion basement, and just before the door to the laboratory/library below, enter the door to the north. Open the purple coffin, and Vincent will pop out. The responses to take in this conversation are:
- Talk about Sephiroth.
- Who are you?

There are 4 materia caves on the World Map and hold some of the best materia in the game inside. Here are the locations and what's inside each.

CAVE 1: Far south of Wutai, right at the end of the island, hidden behind a mountain, use a black or gold chocobo to get there. Go inside and examine the glowing light to receive the Quadra Magic materia. This casts a magic spell or summoning 4 times.

CAVE 2: North of Mideel, on long island nearby. Go inside and examine the glowing light to receive the Mime materia. This mimes the previous command in battle.

CAVE 3: Cave is next to the mountain lying on a square of brown land in the North Corel area. Need a black or gold chocobo to get there. Go inside and examine the glowing light to receive the HP<>MP materia which switches your HP and MP values.

CAVE 4: Go to Goblin Island (its the elongated island with a forest on it to the northwest of the Chocobo farm). Ride a gold chocobo northwest from here. You will eventually come to an island that isn't on the map. It is surrounded by mountains and trees. There is a forest in the middle. Dismount in here and enter the cave. Examine the glowing light to receive the best summon materia in the game - the Knights of the Round.
