Final Fantasy VII Walkthrough

1.29: To Mt. Corel

You can spend some time leveling up here, if you wish, and gaining cash to buy more items from Costa Del Sol. Otherwise, just go west and you'll get to a cave.

The cave leads to an outdoor path, and you see a man who's had a sighting of the man in a black cloak. It can be hard to see once you're near the reactor; just head for the path going down, you can't go inside this reactor.

Keep going over the bridge, and up and over the railways. (It's a good idea to put Barret in your party at the save point, if he isn't yet). There is a hole further up; if you head down, and you fall down and catch yourself strategically, you can obtain a few items such as a Star Pendant if you aim right, and when going up, a Wizard Staff if you aim left. There's also a treasure chest at the top of the hump, with a W Machine Gun.

Once you're down and around the other side of the hump of the rail, go up the other side. You can get a Turbo Ether and another chance to fall down; head right. Then on the rail, a Transform materia.

Go the way heading up, and you'll see your other party members below, cheering you on. They're there for a reason you'll see soon.

Go over and around to that little shack you see. It is on the same level as your tracks, so enter it, and hit a switch. The other two members who were blocked can now go though.

Hear those birds? Climb up the side where you hear them the loudest, and you could get 10 Phoenix Downs, but you need to fight for it. If the girls are with you, you lose brownie points.

Also, with the drawbridge, there seems to be 3 sets of tracks, one on top of the other. The top tracks don't lead anywhere, the middle tracks lead further into the game, but the lower tracks lead into the lake. If you go to the lake you will find a little cave with a merchant. You can also pick up 3 items in there. A Power Source, a Mind Source and a Tent.

Go back to the rails, and take the downward path so that you can leave the way your other party members did.
