Final Fantasy VII Walkthrough

1.45: The Forgotten City of the Ancients

Aqualung

You can take whichever path you want first, but we'll start with the left path. In the first house there is a save point, a small, crystal-like box that speaks words of the Ancients, and a chest with a Magic Source. If you continue right from here, you get to the center of the city, where you can find a Aurora Armlet.

When you go right, from the entrance, take the first right branching path you see into a hut. All the way at the top is a chest with a Guard Source. Next hut has an Elixir and a forced rest (resulting in a night time sequence). There's also an item behind the furthest bed, an Enemy Skill materia.

Head down to the main entrance and down the middle path. You can get a Comet materia from the top of that hut, then head down the glowing blue steps.

Water Ring

Start to go up those pillars in the middle, and you'll see Aeris. Go talk to her. You can fight it if you want, but something peculiar is happening to Cloud. After the FMV, you fight:

Jenova-LIFE	Level	HP	MP	Attacks

	Absorbs	Blocks	Strong Against	Weak Against
	Steal	Morph	Win Item	Enemy Skill

	EXP	AP	Gil	Location
	4000	350	1500	City of Ancients
	Immune to Status		Notes
	Sleep, Return, Confusion, Silence, Transform, Stop, Berserk, Poison, Stone, Slowly Stone, Manipulate, Death
	Strategy
	This boss is rather tough, so be on your guard and heal often. If you put the Water Ring on someone, you'll be happy to see that Aqualung will heal, rather than hurt, one of your party members; this is a fairly damaging attack. Use your high-end summons like Kjata and Bahamut and magic, and cast Haste on someone if you get the chance.

When it's over, there will be another scene, and then you're in the hut. You have the option to save, as it's the end of disk one.
