Ancient Forest

To get to the Ancient Forest before disc 3, simply

ride up the hill with a black, gold or green chocobo.

Beta Materia

When you first go to the Chocobo ranch you have

to catch a chocobo to avoid the Midgarsorm. Well, I

figured out a way to get the powerful Beta spell

before the second disc. You need the Enemy skill

materia, a Fire materia, and any elemental materia

equipped on one person. MAKE SURE THE LAST

TWO ARE ON YOUR ARMOR!

If you keep this character healed until Midgarsorm

casts Beta you SHOULD be able to survive the

spell. Then just finish him off. This is tricky to pull

off but if done correctly you will be set for a LONG

time.

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 casted

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!!!

Chocobo Tricks

While racing the chocobos, hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 to increase your speed. To

increase their stamina, hold R1 + R2.

While choosing a chocobo to race, press L1, L2, R1, R2 or any direction to pan, zoom

and rotate the chocobo you're viewing.

Curse Ring

While in Mideel (before it has been destroyed), go to the weapons shop and check the

door in the back (the one that does not open.) Next, go to the shop on the hill with the

man on the balcony. Walk behind him along the part of the balcony on the side of the

shop until you here a rattling sound. Check the spot and you will get a key. Use the key

on the door, and it will break off. The owner will ask what happened. Tell the truth and

he will give you the curse ring. If you lie, he will not give it to you. It raises all of your

stats, but puts the character on death sentance, but this can be countered with a Phoenix

Down.

Debug Mode

NOTE: This code requires a GameShark.

This code is by far the coolest thing you will ever see. First enter the code "8009A05C

0041" into your GameShark. Start-up FF7 with the first disk. Choose "New Game".

Instead of the normal opening CG movie you will appear in a room filled with Japanese

symbols. IMPORTANT! Turn off your Gameshark after you are in the room.

Walking onto these symbols will transport you to other rooms where you can go to any

point in the game, watch the CG movies, and gain a complete set of Materia among

other things. You can also talk to the man in the bottom left corner to adjust other

settings.

For complete instructions on how to use this debug room consult GameFaq's Final

Fantasy 7 section.

Defeating Savior Sephiroth

For this fight you will need: Knights of the Round, Zero Bahumut, and any other

summons. Cure 3, Wall, "Mime", DeBarrier, Remedies and at least three Megaexlir's.

Start out by casting Wall on your party, then cast DeBarrier to take away Sephiroth's

wall. After this has been done throw everything you've got at him, use Mime to cause

major damage. During the fight Sephiroth will levitate higher, signaling he's preparing

to cast Super Nova.

If you are above 1500 energy you should be alright, watch out for his Heartless Angel

that will not kill you, but bring your health down to 1. Then use Megaexlirs. Keep up

the endurance and Sephiroth shouldn't be to hard to beat.

Easy AP

Go to the forest outside of Meedeel. Walk around until you fight Head Hunters or

Caterpillers. Equip Cloud with an Apocalipse sword and everyone with a Rune Armlet.

If you fight a group of 4 Head Hunters you get 340 AP. Caterpillers and a group of 3

Head Hunters give you 240 AP. Equip as many 'ALL' and 'MAGIC PLUS' materia a

possible in the sword and Rune Armlet. When mastered they are worth 1.4 million gil

each.

Easy Accessories

Here's a way to get two very helpful accessories.

Ribbon: To get a ribbon you must go into the crater and walk around until you fight a

Master Tonberry (a mole creature with a rotating yellow star above its head.) Attack him

a few times and then morph him. He will turn into a Ribbon.

Tetra-Elemental: There is a small desert island in the south under the Western

Continent. Land there with the Highwind or with a gold chocobo. Walk on the sand

until you fight a small cactus man. Morph him a eh becomes a Tetra-Elemental. Note: I

have had the best luck morphing with Yuffie simply because see deals 9999 HP damage

each time. It may be a different case for you but Yuffie is usually the best morpher.

Easy Life

With this code, you can easily restore life while in battle without having to worry about

anything happening. Enter a battle, and when your characters' health gets low, cast

regenerate on him/her/them. Once the spell has been cast, open the Playstation lid and

have someone cast a spell.

FOR THIS TRICK TO WORK THE LID ON THE PLAYSTATION MUST BE OPEN

BEFORE YOU CAST THE SECOND SPELL!

With the lid open, the game won't be able to cast the spell, so the game will stop until

you close the Playstation lid. Once the lid is closed, the game will function corectly and

you can resume play. The trick to this code is that while the game is looking for the CD,

the regenerate spell will still be working, so your life will fill up while nothing else

happens! This code works great for some of the ultra tough bosses (Emerald and

Diamond Weapon) because nothing else will happen while the lid is up.

Easy Money

If you want virtually unlimited money, here is a wonderful trick. As soon as you have

mastered an "All" mateira, remove it and replace it with the new born one and sell the

old one. This may seem like kind of a harsh comprimise, but each mastered "All" is 1.4

million gils! and scince they are so easy to master you will keep geting more and will

never miss them. Sell one or two and you will never run out of money ever again!

Easy Money, AP and Experience

Go to the desert outside of the golden saucer and walk around for a while. Sooner or

later a little cactus man will appear. You can't beat him with magic or weapons, but he

can be defeated by summoning Chocobos or Mogs. If you manage to kill him he's

worth 10,000 gil!

For better results, head for the Mideel Area (an island in the south) and look for Sea

Worms. Each one you defeat is worth 1300 EXP, 200 AP and 5000 gil!

Effortless GP Gain

To do this trick, you need a joystick controller with rapid-fire settings and access to the

Gold Saucer.

Go to Wonder Square, and up to the arm-wrestling game. Wrap a rubberband around

your joystick so that it's pulled to the upper left diagonal, so that Cloud continuously

walks into the arm-wrestling machine but not into the GP-trading girl. Now, turn on the

rapid-fire for the 'O' button. Cloud will now repeatedly challenge and beat the wrestling

game. Slowly but surely, your GP will increase. It takes a while, so it's probably best

to set this up just before you go to bed at night, and leave it on while you sleep. By

morning, you should have plenty of GP to buy your Gold Pass and the two secret

Materia: XP-Plus and Gil-Plus. Cheater!

Fast Materia Level-Ups

This cheat can only be done in the third disc. First, go to the Northern cave and look for

mole like creatures with a star above thier heads, also holding a knife and a lantern.

Steal an elixir from them and then run away. After that, look for these small creatures in

a floating pot. They will say "Gimme' an elixer". Give them one. Then kill it. Each one

killed will give you 1,000 AP. You can not kill them unless you give them an elixer.

Gain Limit Breaks Easily

When in normal status use a "Hyper." This will let your limit meter go up faster, so you

can use your old techniques more. The reason for this is that one way to get your limit

breaks gained is to use your old techniques.

WARNING: When you use the "Hyper," your status changes to "Fury," which will

lessen your hit rate.

Another way to gain your limit breaks is to defeat large groups of enemies. Try this:

When leaving the Nibel Mountains and heading for Rocket Town, you should see a

group of forests when you leave the mountains. Try engaging combat there, because

sometimes you fight large groups of enemies there. Such as a group of six "Battery

Caps," or sometimes five "Battery Caps" and one "Valron." This might help in getting

your limit techniques also.

Huge Materia

To obtain the Huge Materia in Rocket Town, press Circle, Square, X, X as the

There are four huge Materia that can reproduce other materias if you can pass the

requirements.

Blue - You must have Bahamut and Bahamut Neo. Take these to Cosmo Canyon and

talk to the Blue Huge Materia and you will recieve Bahamut Eishiki (Zero).

Yellow - Master the Steal, Throw, Mime, Manipulate, Morph, Deathblow and Sense

Materias, then talk to the yellow huge Materia to recieve the Master Command materia.

Red - Must have all 16 summoning materia at master level then talk to the red huge

materia to recieve the Master Summoning materia.

Green - Have all 21 magic materia at master level then talk to the green huge huge

materia and you will recieve the Master Magic materia.

Item Duplication

If you have the W-Item Materia, equip it and enter battle. Use the W-Item command and

select your first item you want to use with the Circle button. Then choose your second

item but do not use it. Select it so that cursors appear on the screen (either on you allies

or your enemies) then cancel with the X button. Select again and make the cursor appear

then cancel. Repeat the selecting and canceling of the second item over and over. Each

time you do this the quantity of the first item will increase by 1.

Limit Break Manuals

To learn Level 4 limit breaks you'll need to find the manuals. Here's how to find them.

Cloud: Trade 32,000 battle points at the Golden Saucer.

Tifa: Go to Nibel area (Tifa's house) and play these piano notes: X, Square, Triangle,

L1/R1 + Triangle, L1/R1 + Square, X, Square, Triangle, L1/R1 + X, O, X, Square,

X. Then press START and search the music sheet to find Tifa's Limit break.

Aeris: Southeast of Midgar there is a small cave with a man living there. Talk to him

when you have battled a certain number of battles that end in the same number, such as

122, 133, 144. He will then give you a Mithril orb. Take the Mithril to the Blacksmith's

house on the south peninsula near Cosmo Canyon. He will trade you for the limit break

manual for the Mithril, or you can choose to have a gold bracelet.

Red XIII: In the Nibel area there is a mansion and on the second floor of this mansion

there is a safe. To crack this code turn right 36, left 10, right 59, and right 97. Then the

safe will open to reveal a miniboss.Kill the miniboss and you will recieve Red VIII's

Manual.

Vincent: Land near the waterfall and use the green, black, gold chocobo or the

submarine to pass the mountain. Then enter the waterfall. (You must have Vincent in

your group and must be done first in disc 2) go forward and it will show Vincent's

past. Then leave. Return if you are already in disc three and you'll get not only the

manual but a weapon of Vincent.

Cid: Cid's manual is in one of the chests in the sunken plane.

Yuffie: Go to Wutai and enter the tower with yuffie and let yuffie beat all the bosses

including her father and you'll get a manual and Leviathan materia.

Limited Immortality

Connect the Phoenix Summon and Final Attack materia in any linked slot. When your

party dies, there Hitpoints will be completely restored. This makes killing Ruby,

Emerald, and Sephiroth simple, just make sure you have enough Mindpoints to use the

Phoenix Summon.

For more punch, add a Final Attack/Knight of the Round Table to the same weapon.

Then when you die you'll resurrect and hit back HARD.

NOTE: This method is limited because you can only use Phoenix materia 5 times.

Morph Enemies Easily

For an easy way to morph enemies, have W-Magic Materia, Gravity Materia + "All"

Materia, and Morph Materia. Have someone else cast Reflect on the party, then have the

person with W-Magic use Demi 3 on your party twice. It will reflect and hit the enemy

six times without killing it, but will greatly reduce it's HP's. At this point, you can

easily morph it.
