Final Fantasy VII Walkthrough

2.6: Escaping Junon

You awaken in Junon; Tifa has been in a coma for a week, and when she awakens, Barret gives her information on Weapon, the Shinra and Cloud. After witnessing Weapon, you will be free to control Tifa. After a short talk with Barret, Rufus will enter the room and announce his plans for the execution.

After this chat, you can independently bring Barret to the execution room. The path is very simple, just follow the Shinra Soldier and Tifa. After entering the execution room, Scarlet will take Tifa and put her in the gas room. Shortly after there will be an alert saying WEAPON is approaching. Everyone will flee except for a reporter, Barret, Scarlet and a couple of Shinra Soldiers. The reporter will knock out Scarlet with sleeping gas, take off his trench coat and reveal himself to be Cait Sith. After this, both your characters must fight two Attack Squad soldiers. Direct yourself to the gas chamber door to free Tifa. It won't open.

You find Rufus and Heidegger discussing WEAPON and what to do about it. After the orders, Junon will show its true colours as a city of war.

You will now head out of the execution room to find a different way to save Tifa. After exiting this room, take a right. Head towards this reporter. The reporter is Yuffie and she will join your party. Head out of the scene and towards the airport.

You now control Tifa. She is locked in her chair, but wait, the guard dropped the key! Use button combination to free her. If you want it done easily, use this guide.

Then press the Ok button.

Tifa is now free, go turn off the gas.

After all this, you will witness the fall of WEAPON.

After a little chat with Scarlet, you will be climbing out of the hole WEAPON left for you and making your way to the end of the Sister Ray. Make your way to the end of the gun and you will encounter Scarlet. She will slap you, and what else is there to do then but slap back? After five or six slaps she will get fed up and send the guards on you. Run to see end of the cannon for a rescue by the Highwind.
