| You can buy Materia, accessories and items in various buildings.
There's also an inn with an X-Potion in a chest. In the building to
the far north there is a White M-Phone in a chest. Go into the
building in the far south to hear about a guy named Zack. Leave the
town and go back to the world map. Get in the buggy and go around
the forest and over the shallow river until you see some red
mountains and the sky will darken. Your buggy will breakdown and
you'll be forced to go into the building in the mountains which is
Cosmo Canyon. Then talk to the guy. If Red is in your team he'll
come out and show himself, if not he'll run up the stairs. There is
an inn and various shops such as a weapons and item shop. If you
come back to Cosmo Canyon in Disc 2 or 3 and enter the item shop the
red cord will be gone and you can pick up a Full Cure Materia, Magic
Source and Elixir. Make your way up the stairs to the left and talk
to Red. Go up the stairs and there's a Save Point here. Go up the
stairs and left, go up the outside stairs and into the cave. Climb
up the ladder to Bugenhagen's observatory (go through the door to the
left, press Select if you can't see the door). Talk to Red XIII and
Bugenhagen for a while. You will need to make a new party, so go
talk to whoever you want in your party, they will be in various
loactions in Cosmo Canyon. When you have your party go back to the
observatory. You will see a short cutscene, where you can learn
about the Planet and the Lifestream.
When it is over, return to the bonfire to meet with your friends.
Talk to everyone here. Eventually Bugenhagen will come and talk to
Red XIII. You will need to take one other person with you as you
have to take Red XIII. Go up to the top level , where the ladder was
to enter the observatory. Talk to Bugenhagen and he will open the
door. Go through the door and climb down the ladders and ropes until
you get to the bottom where you should head right. There are caves
in here that if you go inside you will be given an option. Ignore
the first two caves unless you want to fight the enemies that are
inside (if you choose the top option). Go to the cave to the north
east and go inside. Pick the top option. A new door will appear. Go
through it.
Go north and west. There is oil on the floor. Don't run on it as
you will go sliding into a spiked wall, reducing everyone's HP by
500. Just walk on it instead. Go south from where the oil is to get
to the previous screen and pick up the Added Effect materia. Return
to the other screen and go right and up, and then left and down the
stairs to get a Black M-Phone. Go back up and through the arch and
get the Ether in the chest. Go up the stairs and head north. Go to
the next screen and go through the tunnel fourth from the left. If
you hit the spider web, you will be attacked by a large spider, they
are pretty easy to beat, although their Sting Bomb attack can take
off quite a bit of health and you have to fight them to continue. At
the end you will get a X-Potion in the chest. Go back and go through
the second tunnel to the right, and fight the spiders. If you run
against the left side wall before the door you will go through a
secret passageway and pick up the Turbo Ether in the chest. Go back
through the passageway and go through the door at the top. You will
talk for a bit, and then the statue will start to move and you will
fight a boss....
-----Gi Nattak-----
There is a very easy way to kill this boss. As it is undead, curing
items will hurt it so simply use an X-Potion to kill it in one go.
But if you don't wanna do that, just use Summon materia and Limit
Breaks on the main guy, don't worry about the fire guardians that he
has with him. You can also use Ice and Bolt magic. You will win a
Wizer Staff when you kill him.
Pick up the Gravity materia on the ground and follow Red XIII to the
next screen. You will learn about Red's father here, and you will be
back at bonfire. Make a new party and try to leave. Red XIII will
come and join you again. Leave Cosmo Canyon and get in the buggy
which is now fixed. Go past Cosmo Canyon and go over the shallow
river and you should see some spiky mountains in the distance. Get
out of the buggy and enter the town of Nibelhiem. |
