Meet Tifa at 7th Heaven. You can pinball here to pass time before the next mission.
To enter Don Corneo's mansion, Cloud needs a disguise. Visit the Honey Bee Inn, the Dress Shop, and the Gym for the wig.
You can either take the stairs (stealth) or burst through the front door. The stairs take longer but avoid combat.
Cloud recounts his past with Sephiroth. This is a narrative-heavy section explaining the antagonist's motivations.
A confusing dungeon with time mechanics. Ensure you have the Ribbon equipped to prevent status ailments from the Demon's Gate boss.
The turning point of the game. Prepare for the Jenova-LIFE battle immediately after the cutscene.
After escaping Junon, you gain control of the Highwind airship, opening up the world map for side quests.
Optional super-bosses. Ruby Weapon requires a solo party member setup, while Emerald requires the Underwater Materia.
Point of no return. Split your party to collect the final items (Shield Materia, Counter, W-Magic). Sephiroth awaits at the core.
