FINAL FANTASY VII 
-----------------

How to win at Chocobo racing
----------------------------
During a race hold down [Page Down] + [Target] to restore 
energy (takes a while). After your party parachutes back
into Midgar, you can get the W-Item materia. Enter the 
subway tunnels in Sector 8. You can encounter the Turks,
away from the screen, or go to another subway section 
towards the screen. Go towards the screen and the new 
subway tunnel. Follow the subway tunnel until it ends at 
a dead end; here you will find the W-Item materia.Now, 
equip the materia on a character who has an item you want 
duplicated. When a battle begins, select the W-Item entry 
on the battle menu and pick the item to be duplicated. 
Answer "OK" to confirm your choice and choose who will 
get the new item. When selecting the second item, 
choose the item to be duplicated. 
Answer "OK" to confirm the selection, but cancel before
choosing a person to receive the item. You can do this 
repeatedly, to increase the number of an item up to 99.


10 Phoenix Downs and a Secret Cave 
----------------------------------
On the way to Coral, go to the switch that you push to let 
the others go through. If you explore around that area, you
should hear birds chirping. Go up the hill where you hear it
(you might have to search to find the right spot) and pick the 
first choice you are given.

After collecting the 10 Phoenix Downs, go back down to the lower 
tracks and follow your partners. As they turn to the right, you 
need to take the left split because buried in the hill under the
tracks is a cave with an out-of-work miner. A Power Source, Mind 
Source, and Tent may be acquired within this hidden area.

Note: Your score will be lowered if you do this. It's not nice to 
disturb baby birds. 

Ancient Forest 
--------------
To get to the Ancient Forest before disc 3, simply ride up the 
hill with a black, gold or green chocobo. 

Beat the Cosmo Canyon Boss 
--------------------------
When you get to the Boss inside the caves at Cosmo Canyon to beat 
him all you do is use a Phoenix Down on him to kill him instantly.
Sometimes that misses so you might want to use other healing items
like X-Potion, High Potion or Potion. 

Beat the Emerald Weapon 
-----------------------
If your having difficulty beating Emerald Weapon and you can't get 
the Knights of the Round consider using this method.First equip  
three gravity materia, one to each character, second if possible 
equip a mime materia to each character.                         
 
Next to one character, equip both the W-Magic materia and quadra 
magic materia joined to the characters gravity materia. Join an all
materia to the other characters materia. Okay. Now when you go into 
battle all you do is use any level of demi on the Emerald weapon and
it automatically does 9999 HP of damage to with every hit but at the 
end his HP will lower and a couple of hits with a moderately powerful
summon spell and he's done for. Voila! 

Beat the Ruby Weapon 
--------------------   
For this you will need Nights Of The Round with at least 3 levels.
Phoenix summon with at least 3 levels. Shield with at least 2 levels.
Final Attack with any level. About 3 mastered HP and MP pluses (you 
might need more). 3 Enemy Skills with White Wind learned (to learn 
White Wind, go to the grassy area of Junon untill you fight a big 
green creature with wings. Manipulate it and have it use White Wind
on your party).

You also need MP and HP absorb and the MIME command. Make sure you 
do NOT have the w-item, w-magic, and w-summon materias. Give everyone 
HP pluses untill it reaches 9,999 HP. Then do the same with the MP 
pluses until it reaches 999. Equip Cloud with the Ultima Weapon and 
give him the following materia.

Combine the Nights Of The Round with the MP absorb. Give him Phoenix 
with Final Attack. Give him mime with HP absorb. Make sure that you 
only eqip these matiera on the Ultima Weapon if their mastered. Give 
him shield and enemy skill. Give your other party members the other 
enemy skills. Make sure Cloud has an accesory that will protect him 
from Frog and Small.
 
Before you fight Ruby, get into a battle and have Cloud kill your 
other party members. Now go after Ruby. Start off by using shield on 
Cloud. Do NOT have Cloud bring the rest back to life.

Now have Cloud use Knights of the Round and just keep miming it until
the Ruby Weapon kills you. When you come back to life, repeat the 
process until you've won.

NOTE: No matter what, do not use any limit breaks or regular attacks 
on Ruby. If Cloud becomes a toad, use white wind to heal him. 

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 cast 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!!! 

Duplicate Items 
---------------
For this to work you need the W-Item Materia. This Materia is 
available at the excavation site. Search the bottom layer at a  
place that looks a little like someone scuffed an "x" in the dirt. 
Equip the Materia, and in battle use it. Select the Item that you 
want to duplicate first, then select any other item.
After you select the second item hit cancel, and notice that the 
first item has increased by one. Just keep selecting the item, and 
canceling till you have all you need. The only downfall to this is 
that you can only duplicate items that you can use during battle.
