Final Fantasy VII Walkthrough

1.9: The Train Graveyard

You wake up in the sewers; talk to Aeris and Tifa to get them up. Almost immediately, however, you have a boss fight, courtesy of the Don:

Aps	Level	HP	MP	Attacks
	18	1800	0	Sewer, Tsunami Tail
	Absorbs	Blocks	Strong Against	Weak Against
	Steal	Morph	Win Item	Enemy Skill
			Phoenix Down
	EXP	AP	Gil	Location
	240	22	0	Sewers
	Immune to Status		Notes
	Strategy
	This boss uses attacks that take advantage of the yucky, probably toxic sewer water around you. He can do a lot of damage if you don’t take care to heal. Use Lightning magic, and make sure you have Cover materia on Cloud so that he can take more damage, and use his limit break more often.

Once you’ve cut down Aps, don't forget the Steal materia on the other side of the sewers. Keep an eye out for the relatively rare enemy, Eligor, from which you can steal the Striking Staff. This is a weapon that can't be found until much later in the game, so it's worth acquiring.

Jump down the hole, then climb up the area where the green arrow is.

You end up at the train graveyard, which can be a confusing place. Go up the ladder on the first train, which we'll call A, and walk forward to get a Hi-Potion. You can keep going here, and it will take you to a bridge that you can walk onto, that connects to train B.

Take the bridge over to the ground on the other side of train A, run around the top of it, right to the middle of trains A and B. Run inside of train B to get a Potion. After that, go back and head left to examine the barrel for an Ether. Head then for the small gateway from inside of Train B, so that you're in between trains B and C, which is at the far right. Go up the ladder onto train C, take the ladder just a few steps up from it back down to the ground, then walk up until you get to a gateway going into train C, as illustrated in the screenshot below:

Potion

In this new area, go up, around the train to your left, down, and in a corner at the bottom of the screen you'll find another Potion. Further left, you'll find another barrel housing an Echo Screen. Now, go way up, past a train that looks like it could collide with another train (one is vertical, one is horizontal) until you see a horizontal, grey train with a ladder to climb up on. Go up and get the Hi-Potion, then go down to the train below it (brown). Go inside of a black doorway, and this causes the train to go backwards. Go around, up to the train with the ladder, then go inside of a black doorway there so that the train backs up just enough to line it up with the ladder. Climb up the ladder on the grey train, jump to the brown train, then walk along the grey ladder. Head further down, and then you can run off screen to the left. Look familiar? Keep going to your left.
