Final Fantasy VII Walkthrough

1.27: AVALANCHE at Sea

As soon as you can move, get an Ether from a treasure chest that's a few steps up, then to your left. There's also an All materia a few steps further up and to the right. Talk to other people around, and you'll slowly find other members of your party, undercover.

Head up the stairs. If you say "Something's missing" to the crewman in white, you have access to an Item Shop. There's a save point further down, near where Red XIII is doing an unintentional jig to keep his balance.

Go down the ladder from the save point and talk to Aeris again. She'll ask about Barret, so go all the way back up to the save point area, but stay one deck below and head left.

Warning alarms go off. Find your party and head down, and make sure you're ready for a boss fight in the engine room.

	Shiva works well enough against this boss. Jenova does a very damaging multi-ally attack called Tail-Laser, so watch out for that. Don't bother even trying Poison, as that will do nothing. If you have the E-Skill Flame Thrower, that does a decent chunk of damage.

When you're done, get the Ifrit materia that's behind from where Cloud is standing, then go up the white ladder and all the way around to get a Wind Slash, which you can’t equip on anyone at the moment.
