WALKTHROUGH WEEK 1

Assault On Mako Reactor No. 1

After meeting several members of the rebel group known as AVALANCHE. Cloud joins their effort to bomb Shrina's
Make Reactor No. 1. Shrina's forces heavily guard the plant, so the group hijacks a train bound for the adjacent slums.

The guard at the station are easily overpowered as the mission quickly gets underway. Cloud exits the train and follow the rest
of the team off the platform. Make sure you check the downward guards to collect two POTIONS. Before Cloud can reach
the end of the platform, two Mps initiate combat.

But don't worry, this is on of the few time Cloud has to fight alone. Even so, the MPs aren't much of a threat. Cloud and his
companions are more than a match for most of the enemies you'll face in the Mako reactor. After the battle, follow Cloud's
companions to the reactore gate and then into the reactor itself.

(*) Battle Tip: In most of the early battles, you'll only use your characters normal attacks. You can cut down the selection time by holding the () button as a character's Time Bar finishes filling. This automatically selects your normal attack and the closest enemy.

Two security doors block the only passage in or out of the Mako reactor. Speak with Biggs and Jessie and they'll open the gates. Don't enter the elevator just ahead until after you've picked up the Phoenix Down, in the control room to the right.

Follow Jessie out of the elevator and into the reactor. After giving you a quick lesson on using ladders, she steps aside as you continue deeper into the reactor. Make sure you grab the Potion resting just in Jessie sentry position.

After traveling a little further, the party encounters tougher enemies. Plus, you get your first chance to save your game! Step on the save point, acess the menu and go to save, and memory card #, save it. If you have no memory card, skip that step. You should also use this opportunity to heal the party before moving onward.

As cloud approaches the Mako reactor, he finds a Restore Materia on the floor - unforunately he can't di anything with it right now. This is another good example of the kind of Materia that can be found lying around.

When you approach the reactor, Barret makes cloud plan the charges. After the attempted intervention of a mysterious voice, Cloud happily obliges. Unfortunatelym their actions trigger an alarm that alerts the Shrina's forces to their presence.

BOSS FIGHT: GUARD SCORPION

Although the Guard Scorpion has some deadly attacks, Cloud and Barrets combined strength should be more than enough to punch its ticket.

Start the battle by having cloud pummel the Scorpion (another mechanical creature) with constant Bolt spells while barret uses his normal attack.

After several attacks, the Guard Scorpion raises its tail and begins to shake violently, at which point Cloud warns Barret to be carefull.When this occurs, stop your attacks. Attacking the boss during this time causes it to counter attack with its super weapon, Tail Laser. This move causes close to 75 points of damage to both characters. When the Boss returns to it's normal stance, continue your attack pattern.
