Final Fantasy VII Walkthrough

1.4: Sector 5 Reactor

Once the dialogue stops, red lights begin to flash. Just keep running down the train whenever you get the chance, and at the end, talk to your fellow party members. Once you've jumped, you'll be in a tunnel, so head up. It doesn't really matter what you say for the duct part, but you need to go in there.

Once down, you can pick up an Ether, then keep moving. You'll get to a large area of platforms and ladders that can be hard to see. Take the first ladder up. You get to a room with Jessie, and there you can pick up a Potion that is directly opposite from where Jessie is, then talk to her. Going directly down from her to a ladder takes you back to the platform, near Wedge, and the other way takes you to Biggs, a save point, and a Tent. Go out that exit.

Slide down the pipe and head for the door at the end of the stairway, like in the last reactor. Keep going, and before you get there, Cloud has a flashback of a younger Tifa, talking to a man named Sephiroth. Do your task at the controls, then head back. Go up all the way, using the stairs instead of the pipe. You'll get to an area where there's a treasure chest containing an Ether.

Go up and to the left, where you have to do a quick mini game. Time your hit so that everyone hits the button at once. This tends to take a few tries to get it right, and remember, there's a short pause between Tifa talking, and raising her hands. Exit and go up, and check your equipment/health.

After talking to the President, you'll have to deal with:

Air Buster	Level	HP	MP	Attacks
	15	1200	0	Counter Attack, Big Bomber, Rear Gun
	Absorbs	Blocks	Strong Against	Weak Against
	Steal	Morph	Win Item	Enemy Skill
			Titan Bangle
	EXP	AP	Gil	Location
	180	16	150	Reactor
	Immune to Status		Notes
	Sleep, Return, Confusion, Silence, Darkness, Transform, Berserk, Poison, Paralysis, Stone, Slowly Stone, Manipulate, Death
	Strategy
	Airbuster splits your party into two; Cloud to one side, Tifa and Barret to the other. It’s best to use Bolt on him, and limit breaks or physical attacks. Be sure to heal periodically, as some of his attacks can do a fair amount of damage.

Unfortunately, once you’ve won, the bridge breaks and the party becomes separated.
